Add as a preferred source on Google

It’s a new week, which can only mean one thing: A new set of Fortnite challenges are live and ready for you to complete. For season 7, week 5, you’ll find a wide variety of challenges that send you around the map to find items, as well as inflicting damage with specific weapons, and more. This list is a lot more varied than challenges from recent weeks, and are — for the most part — much more fun to complete.

Specifically, Epic Games has lowered the number of collectible-style challenges in favor of a well-rounded list. In this guide, we’ll show you all of the new challenges, along with guides on getting through the more difficult ones. Here are the Fortnite season 7, week 5 challenges and how to complete them.

The full list of challenges for season 7, week 5 is as follows:

  • Destroy computer equipment at satellite stations or Corny Complex (3)
  • Damage IO Guards (250)
  • Eliminate trespassers (2)
  • Deal damage with IO or Alien weapons (500)
  • Loot supply drops (2)
  • Damage a saucer with a pilot inside (800)

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat.

I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
