Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenge guide: How to drive through flaming rings

By

Fortnite’s season 5 week 2 challenges have just dropped, and while most of them aren’t too difficult, they do require you to go to specific locations to find certain items. One that might be stumping you requires you to drive through three specific flaming rings. It sounds simple enough, but there are some things you need to do before you’re able to get started with it. For one, this season’s challenges come in stages, meaning you have to complete the first stage to unlock the next — and so on.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock the challenge for driving through flaming rings, along with tips on how to complete it. For this one in particular, it’s stage three of the Burnout challenges, meaning you have to finish the first two beforehand. Stage one requires you to find car parts, while stage two sends you on a quest to deliver a vehicle from Steamy Stacks to Pleasant Park. Once you’ve done those two challenges, you can start this one. Here’s how to drive through flaming rings in Fortnite.

To complete this challenge, you need to drive through three rings, all of which are spread out around Pleasant Park. As usual, you don’t need to complete them in a specific order, but for the purposes of this guide, we’ll be covering them in a clockwise formation. To start, land toward the center of Pleasant Park to pick up a vehicle. It doesn’t have to be a fast car, but we do recommend grabbing one with enough gas so you can drive through all three rings in the same match. We advise grabbing a car with around 75% fuel or so.

Once you’ve grabbed a car, drive north toward the Stealthy Stronghold, where you’ll find the first ring ahead of a ramp. Use the images above for reference.

For the second flaming ring, you can find it to the southeast of the previous one between two hills, just before the blue bridge. It’s located ahead of some water beneath the aforementioned bridge.

For the final flaming ring, drive across the blue bridge to the east, where you’ll find a little race track among a dirt road in an area called Mowdown. Do be careful, as there are some enemy NPCs in this area that can take you out with little issues. Remember, you don’t need to drive through all three rings in the same game, as your progress does carry over from match to match.

After you’ve driven through the final flaming ring, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP for doing so. After this, you’ll be all finished with the Burnout challenges for this week.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite
Characters fishing in LEGO Fortnite.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.

All Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite

Most things in Lego Fortnite are grounded in reality -- well, as much as they can be in a game where you are a little Lego man running around collecting resources and building entire villages by yourself. You slowly accumulate better gear as you craft new items and upgrade your existing facilities so you can venture further out and face tougher challenges.

There's some equipment that works a bit differently, namely your Trinkets and Charms. These little doodads can be crafted as you collect specific resources, they come in a range of rarities, and all of them give your character a specific buff that can be placed on your armor to add to your character. There's a lot of them out there to find and craft, so we've cataloged all the Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite and what they do.

How to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite

Obsidian is almost as rare a resource in Lego Fortnite as it is in real life. This black, razor-sharp material can only be found in the most dangerous environments. That means knowing where to find it is only part of the trouble. The real test will be in preparing yourself to survive the trip. You'll also need the tools necessary to collect it. If you're ready to face the heat, here's how to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite.
Where to find Obsidian

Obsidian is an ore, so if your first instinct was to look for Obsidian inside of caves, then you're on the right track. Unlike something like Marble, however, Obsidian isn't as common or in as easy to reach places. Obsidian will be found deep into caves near lava, but only caves found in a desert biome will have lava inside.
