Fortnite season 4 week 14 challenge guide: Generating power for Stark Industries

Joseph Yaden
By

This week’s Fortnite XP Xtravaganza challenges are live, giving you multiple ways to level up your battle pass. One challenge requires you to generate power for Stark Industries by riding zip lines to and from Upstate New York, and if you aren’t familiar with the locations of the zip lines, you might be stuck trying to complete it. Or perhaps you keep getting eliminated on your way to the zip lines in this area.

Either way, you’ll likely need a decent strategy for completing this challenge. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find the zip lines to power on Stark Industries, and how to complete the challenge as quickly as possible in Fortnite.

How to generate power for Stark Industries by riding zip lines to and from Upstate New York

There are a few locations that feature zip lines that lead to and from Stark Industries, but the ones we used are found directly south of Upstate New York. Remember, Upstate New York is the large circular area that contains Stark Industries. There’s a zip line that leads from the east of The Ruins all the way to Stark Industries. To complete the challenge, you must use a zip line three times. It doesn’t have to be three separate zip lines — the same one will work.

There’s an easy way to complete the challenge without having to actually ride three zip lines. All you need to do is land on the zip line, then jump, and ride it again. Do this two more times and you’ll gain credit for completing the challenge without using three separate zip lines. The video above shows you exactly how to do it. Remember to press Square to ride the zip line on PS4/PS5, X on Xbox One/Xbox Series X, and Y on Nintendo Switch. Then, jump off by pressing X, A, or B on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch, respectively.

Keep in mind, you can complete this challenge in any game mode, and your entire team earns credit for it. Because of this, it’s best to do this in a team-based mode; that way, you can help your teammates complete the challenge (or vice versa). You also don’t need to ride three zip lines in one game — your progress carries over from match to match, so you can spread it out if you’d like. Though, as you can see in the video above, it’s quite easy to ride a zip line three times in one match quickly. Once you’ve ridden the zip line three times, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP.

How to damage opponents with the Lock On Pistol in Fortnite
The Lock On Pistol in Fortnite.

As part of a weekly challenge in Fortnite, players are tasked with dealing 200 damage with the Lock On Pistol. This challenge has caused some confusion, as acquiring the weapon isn't as consistent as players might have hoped. In this guide, we'll show you how to get your hands on the Lock On Pistol and how to deal 200 damage with it in Fortnite.
How to find the Lock On Pistol

First, you need to get your hands on the Lock On Pistol. Currently, the only known ways of finding one are by opening chests or collecting them from Supply Drops. The weapon isn't available from NPCs or any method just yet. This means you'll want to head to a high-traffic area like Mega City to find a bunch of chests. Keep in mind that Mega City will be busy, but there are plenty of chests available. If you want to play it safe, you can visit a different point of interest (POI). Keep opening chests until you get your hands on the Lock On Pistol.

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.
