Fortnite challenge guide: Hit an opponent within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing

With Fortnite season 5, week 12, you’ll have a new set of challenges to complete, giving you more opportunities to earn XP. While most of the challenges for this week require you to visit certain mysterious locations, there’s a tougher one that sends you on a quest to hit opponents within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing. Unlike most of this week’s challenges, you can go for this one right away, as it’s separate from the others and has no prerequisites.

However, even if you’re a skilled player, you might not be familiar with Zero Point Dashing, or maybe you’re having trouble striking an enemy after using the move. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to utilize the Zero Point Dash mechanic, and we’ll include tips for landing an attack on an enemy right after initiating the maneuver. Here’s how to hit an opponent within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing in Fortnite.

The first thing we recommend doing is to boot up a Team Rumble match — that way you can continuously retry if you get taken out. Then, make a dash for the center of the map where all the pink crystals are. Once you land, we advise picking up a few weapons, such as an SMG or assault rifle. Once you’re geared up, make your way to one of the crystals. Depending on the crystal, you may be able to interact with it, allowing you to consume part of it, granting you temporary powers.

You’ll find these crystals all along this area, but if you can’t find one to consume, simply destroy the larger crystal with your pickaxe to uncover smaller ones that you can interact with. Once you consume a crystal, you’ll have a temporary aura around your character that lasts around 15 seconds or so. While this is in effect, you’ll be able to use the Zero Point Dash mechanic.

In order to execute it properly, you’ll need to double-tap the jump button. On PlayStation it’s X, on Xbox it’s A, and on Nintendo Switch it’s B. As its name suggests, this move is a quick dash that allows you to get around in the blink of an eye. Now that you know how to use the mechanic, you’ll need to effectively utilize it while around an enemy.

We recommend avoiding consuming a crystal until you see an enemy nearby, which shouldn’t be too difficult since this area is typically busy. The strategy is simple. Hang out right next to a crystal and wait for an enemy to approach. Once they do, consume the crystal and dash toward them. Then, quickly shoot. As long as your shots connect, you’ll gain credit for the challenge. Keep in mind, there are multiple stages to this challenge, requiring you to repeat this process 25 times.

Cities: Skylines II beginner’s guide: tips and tricks to get started
A screenshot from Cities: Skylines 2's cinematic reveal trailer.

The city-building genre has served a niche audience for the decades since the original Sim City popularized the idea of allowing players to design and manage their own little utopias. With that original franchise on ice, it fell to a newcomer, Cities: Skylines, to take up the mantle as the major player in the genre, and it managed to be a well-received replacement. That title got tons of support from the developers and community, but it finally came time for a sequel to freshen things up. Cities: Skylines II is building on the same foundation as city builders of the past, but it also brings in new features and mechanics that even seasoned city planners will need to wrap their heads around. Whether this is your first time raising a city from scratch or you've poured hundreds of hours into urban design, these are the essential tips and tricks you need to know when starting out in Cities: Skylines II.
Picking your plot

The first major choice you will need to make in Cities: Skylines II is where you want to actually go about building your dream society. At launch, the game comes with six maps to pick between, but this decision carries more weight than just aesthetic differences. Yes, each map has its own look that will determine how your buildings, homes, and even vehicles look, but there are deeper mechanical changes you want to plan for.

Fortnite Reality Augments: full list and how to use them
Fortnite Zero Builds key art.

Every new chapter of Fortnite is a massive event. While seasonal changes bring plenty of minor tweaks and additions, it's almost always when a new chapter rolls around that major overhauls or new mechanics are introduced. Fortnite Chapter 4 was no exception, and aside from the extreme changes the island underwent, it brought one very important change to gameplay that makes a huge difference when going for that elusive victory royal (it isn't easy to win Fortnite, after all).

Augments, well, augment the game. There are a few challenges that somewhat introduce what these are, but they leave out almost all the important details for you to find out on your own. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves. Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.
What are augments in Fortnite?
Augments, or Reality Augments, are a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. There are currently 20 augments in the game, but there are 32 total that cycle in and out with each Season. You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose. These perks can range from modifying certain weapon types to granting buffs for performing actions, and much more. There are no bad augments, so you will want to get as many as possible. Augments also have their own tab in your menu where you can see which ones you've had so far to track your progress using them all.
