Fortnite challenge guide: How to complete the Black Panther quests

Fortnite season 5 is chock full of challenges and the list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Recently, a new set of Black Panther challenges became available, based on the famous Marvel hero. The challenges themselves aren’t too tough, but it’s a good idea to be aware of what they are and how to get through them as efficiently as possible.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through completing all three Black Panther quests in Fortnite.

List of Black Panther quests

  • Players need to play 10 matches in Fortnite without leaving midway.
  • Players must outlast a total of 500 enemies across all Fortnite games played during the event’s duration.
  • Players have to complete five games of Duo or Squad in Fortnite with their in-game friends.

There are a couple of things to know about the Black Panther challenges in Fortnite. The first thing is that — unlike many challenges this season — you can stack progress across all three quests. This is particularly useful to know ahead of time so you can complete them all as efficiently as possible. During season 5, many challenges cannot be stacked, since you have to complete the first stage before unlocking the next, and so on. But luckily, that’s not the case with Black Panther’s quests.

Below, we’ll walk you through completing all of Black Panther’s quests.

Play 10 matches without leaving midway

Since you can stack progress across all three challenges, we recommend to go for this one while you attempt the last one, which requires you to play five games in Duos or Squads with in-game friends. As long as you don’t leave the match, you’ll gain credit towards this quest. If you want to make this one go by faster, you can kill your character as soon as the match starts by jumping off a tall building or something similar, but we don’t recommend this since you need to survive to gain credit for the next challenge.

Outlast a total of 500 enemies

Ideally, we advise to prioritize this challenge while playing Duos or Squads with friends. As soon as the game starts, hide on the edges of the map — as far away from others as possible. Even if you win each and every match you play, you’ll still need to complete around six games to outlast 500 enemies, which is more than the amount you need for the next challenge.

Complete five games of Duo or Squad with in-game friends

This one is likely the toughest because it can be hard to line up with your friends. If you’re really having trouble, play random matches and send friend requests to everyone. Not everyone will accept, but you’ll surely make at least a few new friends this way. Otherwise, go for the Black Panther quests all at once with a buddy to ensure you complete them efficiently.

Once you complete all three quests, you’re rewarded with the Wakandan Salute emote for free.

Fortnite faces community backlash over the addition of bots in OG mode

The recent launch of Fortnite OG shot the battle royale title back up the top of the charts, not that it ever really loosened the chokehold it has on the gaming community — and then the launch of the game's first-person mode further stoked the flames. One recent change is not as welcome, however. Fortnite recently shared a post on X detailing the addition of Duos mode, as well as "matchmaking improvements in all Fortnite OG playlists." That doesn't sound like a red flag ... until you read the comment section of the post.

Fortnite OG playlists just received bots, and players are taking that change about as well as they took the addition of No Build mode. In other words, it created a heck of a lot of controversy. The new bots aren't overly aggressive, and therein lies the issue: They present no challenge. Player complaints are that the bots move slowly, make decisions that get them killed, and much more, according to PCGamesN.

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week
Key art for Fortnite's new first person shooter mode Ballistic.

Fortnite Ballistic, the long-awaited first-person mode for Epic Games' hit battle royale shooter Fortnite, will finally come to the game on December 11.

Epic Games first teased a first-person Fortnite mode in March, but now we have a clearer idea of how it will play. Ballistic is a round-based 5v5 mode with no respawns, similar to competitive shooters like Valorant or Spectre Divide. A team of attackers fights to plant and detonate a Rift Point Device in certain spots on the map, while defenders fight to eliminate the other team before they can do the same. While attackers and defenders will swap their roles after six rounds, Ballistic matches are a best-of-seven affair across both ranked and unranked play.

Fortnite OG isn't exactly a new mode -- it's come and gone several times before. What makes today's rollout special is that Fortnite OG is here to stay, and it's news that has delighted a lot of fans. Players have flocked back to Fortnite to play the nostalgia-riddled modes they remember.

In fact, within a mere 20 minutes of release, Fortnite OG had more than 1 million concurrent players in regular Fortnite and another 270,000 in Zero Build, Polygon reports. For context, that's about 1,822 times the maximum number of players Concord saw. Fortnite has always been a force of nature, but it has recently seen a surge of gamers like never before. As of right now, as we write this story, the game has 3,383,844 players, with its all-time high peak -- yes, of any of the previous years -- coming just five days ago with a whopping 14 million concurrent players.
