Epic Games has released the next batch of Fortnite challenges, this time for season 3, week 8. The new challenges are quite interesting, taking a step away from the usual “open chests at X location” types of quests we’ve seen time and time again. They aren’t particularly hard this week, but knowing where to go to make progress toward them can save you plenty of time.

Here, we’ll cover all the new challenges and how to complete them in Fortnite.

Season 3, week 8 quest guide

Damage an opponent with a vehicle within 5 seconds of honking (1)

There are plenty of places to find vehicles on the map, but we like going to Coney Crossroads since it’s usually busy enough to find other players, without being as hot as Tilted Towers or Rave Cave. We recommend mashing the horn button, and when you see a player, try to ram them. An easier strategy is to down an enemy and ram them in a team-based mode, since they won’t be able to get away.

Damage an opponent with a weapon obtained from fishing (1)

For this challenge, land at the large body of water between Tilted Towers and Shifty Shafts, preferably at a dock. Grab a fishing rod or a harpoon gun and get to fishin’. You’ll likely catch a bunch of fish before you find a decent weapon, but once you get something good — like a rare shotgun or assault rifle — grab it, and hold onto it until you find an enemy. All you need to do is deal damage with the weapon you acquired from fishing — you don’t need to win the gunfight.

Deal explosive damage while looking away (1)

Since explosives devices detonate so quickly, it can be tricky to turn around in time before they go off. You can actually complete this challenge by dealing damage to NPCs such as Darth Vader (pay attention to where he lands at the start of the match). Once you have grenades, we recommend getting a decent vantage point before tossing them. Toss as many as you can at the NPCs and then turn around 180 degrees to complete this quest. You can also earn credit by damaging a real player, but it’s much more difficult.

Destroy 5 structures with a single shot of the Ripsaw Launcher (1)

As we’ve covered in previous weeks, you can find a guaranteed Ripsaw Launcher spawn in the large warehouse to the north of Logjam Lotus. The Ripsaws also spawn from chests, but their drop rate isn’t the best. Once you have one, head directly southeast of this area to a house with a large hedge maze in the front. Use the map above for reference (the green circle represents the warehouse and the red circle corresponds with the hedge maze). The hedges here count as objects, so position yourself in front of at least five hedges and fire away. You’ll easily destroy at least five structures in one shot.

Find the coolest player on the island (1)

This quest is great. For this one, you need to look in a mirror. There are plenty of them littered throughout the bathrooms on the island. Tilted Towers is a great place to find bathrooms, as is Coney Crossroads. Pretty much any location with houses will have bathrooms with a mirror.

Make opponents dance with Boogie Bombs (3)

Boogie Bombs are found around the map as floor loot, so try to land at a busier area like Tilted Towers, where you’ll find lots of loot and other players. Throw a Boogie Bomb at another player and they’ll start dancing. Do this a total of three times and you’ll complete the challenge. Thankfully, you can make progress toward this across multiple matches.

Throw a fish into water (1)

While working on fishing for a weapon from one of the previous quests, you’ll likely find a slew of fish. Simply pick one up, and throw it back into the water to complete this challenge.

How to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite
Lego characters mining a boulder.

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.

Alongside Lego Fortnite, the other new game within a game that was recently launched in Fortnite proper is the thrilling Rocket Racing. While matches are much shorter than in either of its sister games, that hasn't stopped Epic from giving you plenty of quests to complete to spice up your races. The Try Rocket Racing! quests are comprised of three parts, and finishing them all will unlock the stylish Jackie skin for free. Aside from being a great-looking skin worthy of nabbing, these quests will help get you comfortable behind the wheel in Fortnite: Rocket Racing.

Where to find the secret cave in Fortnite

Every time Fortnite changes up the map, it becomes a whole new experience when checking out the new points of interest (POIs) and best places to land. With chapter 5 bringing some of the most dramatic changes in the map's history, a ton of secrets are out there on the island waiting to be discovered, such as a very lucrative cave. Those who have managed to wander into this hidden alcove have been rewarded with a huge stash of loot, making it a well-guarded secret among those in the know. We can't guarantee you'll survive long enough to grab all the valuables inside, but knowing where the secret cave is will at least give you and your squad a fighting chance.

The secret cave is tucked along the eastern coast of the map to the northeast of Hazeyhills and southeast of Grand Glacier as seen on the map above.
