Head back in time using our Fortnite season 10, week 3 rift zone challenge guide

The season 10, week 3 challenges have arrived in Fortnite, and the theme this week is called Worlds Collide. That’s appropriate seeing as the challenges we’ll be tackling this week involve Rift Zones, which are locations that take you back to a time when the Battle Royale map looked much different. We’ll be covering both normal and prestige Rift Zone missions, along with a quick explainer on what to expect.

But before we go into detail about what Rift Zones are and where you can find them, we’ll first go over all the weekly challenges players can find in Fortnite: Battle Royale this go around.

Visit a Rift Zone challenge explained

One of the big challenges this week is to visit a rift zone. To complete this challenge, you will first need to understand what a rift zone is. Rift zones were added with the release of season 10, and each week rifts appear and warp an existing named location to somewhere else.

This week a rift zone appeared at Mega Mall and took players back to Retail Row, the location it was known as before season nine. Your job is to visit one of these rift zones in a match, and considering how simple the normal challenge is, you can do it in any mode you like as it won’t take long to complete.

As for the prestige version, you are going to want to do this in any big team mode like Team Rumble to allow you enough time to complete the challenge. In addition, it’s best that you do both versions with teammates, if possible, since the places you’re going to go to are hot zones where lots of other players will be.

As of right now, there are only two locations that you can find a rift zone at. This could change throughout the course of the season as more are added but here is where you can find the current rift zone locations:

  • Tilted Town (formerly known as Neo Tilted)
  • Retail Row (formerly known as Mega Mall)

All you need to do is head to either of these locations and you will complete this challenge.

Once you have completed the normal mission, you can tackle the prestige mission that requires you to search five chests in rift zones. This doesn’t have to be in a single match and it can be spread between both Tilted Town and Retail Row.

We recommend doing this as a group with other players because there will be a lot of players heading to those two locations for these challenges.

How to survive storm phases carrying an Epic weapon in Fortnite
Character jumping while holding Epic weapon in Fortnite.

A new Fortnite challenge for surviving storm phases while carrying an Epic weapon has caused some confusion, as the quest's wording isn't exactly clear. Thankfully, the challenge is much easier than it seems, and once you know what to do, you can get through it relatively quickly. Here's how to survive storm phases while carrying an Epic weapon in Fortnite.
What is an Epic weapon?
Fortnite uses a rarity system with its weapons, which are denoted by colors. Purple weapons are Epic, but keep in mind you can utilize any weapon of higher rarity to complete this quest. As long as the weapon is at least Epic, you'll earn credit for surviving storm phases.
How to get an Epic weapon

There are several ways to get Epic weapons. One way is to simply find one from chests or as floor loot, but this isn't as reliable. You can also purchase Epic weapons from NPCs around the map. Nearly all main hubs have an NPC who sells weapons, so be sure to talk with them if you have the funds. Using an Upgrade Station is another solid option for collecting an Epic weapon, though it's expensive. Another option is to defeat the Highcard Boss found at Brutal Bastion, Shattered Slabs, and Mega City. Upon defeat, the Highcard Boss drops a Mythic Havoc Suppressed Rifle.

How to give specialist a command in Fortnite
Character interacting with NPC in Fortnite.

As part of Fortnite's Spring Breakout Daily Quests, players are tasked with giving a hired specialist character a command. Of course, the game doesn't specify how to do this exactly, leading to some confusion amongst the community. Thankfully, we've got everything you need to know about completing this new quest with ease in Fortnite.
How to hire a specialist

Specialist Characters are specific NPCs all around the map. If you pull up the quest itself, you'll actually see a map of all the Specialist Characters. Keep in mind that not all NPCs fall into this category, so be sure to look at the map. We like the one to the very north of Breakwater Bay as it's usually out of the way. Once you find them, you'll need to pay 200 Gold Bars to hire them. If you don't have the funds, be sure to play more and complete bounties as needed.
How to give a character a command
After you've hired the Specialist Character, they'll be on your side for the duration of the match. If you look at the top left side of the screen, you'll see an icon that represents the Follower Communications wheel. Press and hold left on the D-pad on console or the middle mouse button on PC to get this menu to appear. Once it does, you can pick from a list of commands such as wait or follow. To complete the quest, you simply need to issue one command and after the NPC does what you ask, you'll earn credit for completing it.

The best weapons in Fortnite during Chapter 3, Season 4
New characters from Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2.

Surviving in Fortnite and securing a Victory Royale takes skill and luck. Getting better at Fortnite requires a knowledge of the playing field and a drive to outlast your opponents, but none of that matters if you aren't picking up the right weapons. Building a loadout that suits your playstyle and managing your inventory as the match progresses is key to snagging a win. You don't want to be caught in a long-range battle against someone on a mountaintop without a solid rifle on hand, and you certainly don't want to find yourself inside a close-quarters building without an SMG or shotgun.

Our guide to the best weapons in Fortnite breaks down rarity types and what they mean, the most effective arms in each weapon category, and tips for how to use them. Chapter 4, Season 2 brought a lengthy list of changes to the Fortnite arsenal -- including new weapons and the return of some fan favorites.
