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.

How to hit an opponent within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing

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.

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.

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best landing spot. Even if you're an expert player, your likelihood of coming out on top is greatly diminished if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be at a barren location with no loot or a hot drop that could lead to a swift death. As part of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, there's no shortage of fantastic landing spots, but which one you choose comes down to your skill and preference.

In this guide, we'll show you six of the best Fortnite landing spots for veterans, beginners, and everyone in-between.

Fortnite Guardian Shield: locations and how to use
Guardian Shield in Fortnite.

In January, Epic Games introduced a handful of new changes, including the removal of many Christmas-themed items, and its first new item of 2023: the Guardian Shield, which adds another layer of strategy when used correctly. This new item is tied to a series of in-game challenges, incentivizing players to give it a try. But where can you find the Guardian Shield and how does it work?
Where to find the Guardian Shield

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to guarantee getting a Guardian Shield, as they appear as random drops from chests across the map. With that in mind, we suggest visiting high-traffic areas that contain lots of chests -- preferably spots with Oathbound Chests. These are the large white chests that contain rarer loot and can be found in main hubs that aren't covered in snow, such as The Citadel. Regular chests yield Guardian Shields, too, though. We had luck finding them at Lonely Labs, but other areas contain the Guardian Shield, as well. You can also pick one up from eliminated enemies.
