Another Thursday means another set of challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
In season five, the skin to lust after is Ragnarok, the tier 100 reward in the Battle Pass. The skin is fully upgrade-able with a number of enhancements, and the only way to get there is to play an obscene amount of Fortnite—or to complete all of your challenges while playing a more modest amount of Fortnite.
Let’s take a peek at this week’s challenges to see how the next week of the game will play out.
Free Challenges
Deal damage with Assault Rifles to opponents (1,000) – 5 Stars
These are the best kinds of challenges because you shouldn’t have to change up your play-style too much. Just play the game as you normally would and you should eventually pick up an easy five Battle Stars just by using assault rifles and dealing damage to enemies.
Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match (7) – 5 Stars
Ammo boxes are pretty much everywhere in the map. You can find them inside buildings, usually on shelves or tucked into corners, or out in the world, like in front of cars in parking lots. The toughest part about this challenge will be staying alive long enough to loot seven of them.
Eliminate opponents in Paradise Palms (3) – 10 Stars
One of the game’s newest points of interest has been a hot zone since it was added last week, partly because of its newness but also because it’s a pretty cool area with lots to explore. Have some fun landing Paradise Palms for a few games to pick up your three requisite kills.
Battle Pass Challenges
Score a basket on different hoops (5) – 5 Stars
First, you’ll need the basketball emote that’s unlocked at tier 11 in the paid Battle Pass. Then, you’ll need to find some basketball hoops, line up, and shoot your shot. When you made a shot, the game will give you both visual and audio cues.
Basketball hoops are found in many locations around the map. There’s a basketball court on the northeast end of Greasy Grove. Although there’s two hoops on every basketball court, each court will only count once.
Other locations for basketball hoops include Tilted Towers, Snobby Shores, Retail Row, Paradise Palms, and Junk Junction.

Search Chests in Loot Lake (7) – 5 Stars
Yikes. Expect even more players landing at the central point of the map this week, but there’s a good amount of loot to go around. Loot Lake is a deceptively big place, and chests can be found in the factories on its west shore, in boats in the lake, in the lakehouses on the north and east shore, and inside of the house on the middle island.
Search between an oasis, rock archway, and dinosaurs (1) – 10 Stars
This week’s location is in Paradise Palms, so head over there for an easy 10 stars.
Sniper Rifle eliminations (2) – 10 Stars
You’ll need to lead your shots from a distance, or just snipe an enemy that you downed for these Battle Stars. It’s a legitimate strategy! If you’re not the best sniper, you can down an enemy with another gun and finish them off with a sniper to make it count as a sniper elimination.
