We’re now in Week 2 of Fortnite Season 6 and with a whole new Battle Pass that means there’s plenty of new cosmetics to unlock. One of the ways to do this is by completing the weekly challenges. To make that a quicker, easier task we’ve got a breakdown of everything you need to do. As with the previous season, challenges are split into two categories, with one set available to everyone and a second set exclusively for those that purchase a Battle Pass. Complete the mini-quests and you’ll earn Battle Stars that level up your Battle Pass to unlock rewards.
In the free section you’ll need to use a Shadow Stone in three different matches, complete stage one of a multi-part challenge by dealing 200 points of damage with an Assault Rifle, and visit all of the Corrupted Areas (more on that below). In the paid Battle Pass section the challenges all involve getting into combat, with one asking you to kill an opponent from at least 50m away, while another requires you to take out three players with an SMG. Take a look below for the full list of challenges.
The Visit all of the Corrupted Areas challenge is pretty straightforward as they’re clearly visible on the in-game map (we’ve also included a map below). For those that haven’t been keeping up, Corrupted Areas appeared on the Fortnite island at the start of Season 6 and are, in part, the creation of a giant, mysterious cube currently floating around. When you bring up your map in-game you’ll spot purple hotspots with runes in the middle, these are the locations you’ll need to visit. One of the corrupted areas you’ll need to visit is the floating island which started off at Loot Lake but has since been moving around. It’s currently located west of Shifty Shafts.
Helpfully, the Corrupted Areas also tend to have an abundance of Shadow Stones peppered around them, so if you spot them make sure to grab them as you’ll need to use one in three different matches to complete another of this week’s challenges. You can watch the video above to see us complete the challenge.
