Add as a preferred source on Google

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 has come packing a variety of new locations, items, and features for fans to check out, from an exciting new cyberpunk city to explore to thrilling melee showdowns with the Kinetic Blade. You’ll find a lot to get into on the freshly revamped map, and some of it may even be a part of the season’s weekly quests, such as the Week 1 challenge “Destroy objects while drifting or boosting in a Nitro Drifter.” In this guide, we’ll tell you where you can find a Nitro Drifter racing car to knock out this challenge quickly and easily.

With the addition of multiple new vehicles in Chapter 4 Season 2, you’d be forgiven for not knowing precisely which one is a Nitro Drifter (pictured above). This colorful street racing car can be found in multiple spots around the map, but it’s most plentiful in and around Mega City — which unfortunately isn’t one of the best places to land in Fortnite, due to it being a hotspot. If you don’t want to deal with all of the competition you’re certain to face in downtown Mega City, your best bet for finding plenty of Nitro Drifters is by landing at the racetrack to the north of the city.

How to drift the Nitro Drifter and destroy items

If your goal is to complete the “Destroy objects while drifting or boosting in a Nitro Drifter” challenge, then hop into your chosen Nitro Drifter and set off toward some destroyable objects. The easiest thing to do to knock this quest out quickly is to simply hold down the drift button and slam into smaller items in or around the city. This can include street lamps, foliage, construction items, fences, or anything else you can find that will break when hitting it, so feel free to just aim for anything that you think looks breakable. Once you’ve destroyed 25 items, you’ll complete the challenge.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.

Logitech’s PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE HITS differently — and it made me rethink clicking
Turns out, the humble left click had a lot more room to evolve than I thought.
Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Design 1

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I'm far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year.

For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn't the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I'd flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then, only to come crawling back a few days later. Most of them either felt too hollow, too small, or simply lacked the reassuring heft I had grown accustomed to. Then the Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE showed up, and for the first time, my G502 has been gathering dust.

Minecraft has spent years proving that blocks can run on practically anything with a screen. On October 27, it will finally move into a home built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mojang has confirmed that the native Switch 2 version of Minecraft will launch with Vibrant Visuals enabled by default, using the newer console’s additional power to spruce up its famously square Overworld. Existing Nintendo Switch owners will also receive a digital upgrade path, though Mojang says pricing and other details will arrive later.
