Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenge guide: How to destroy dog houses

The fourth and final stage of the Doggo challenges in Fortnite season 5 week 2 is actually the easiest of the bunch. For the final stage, you’re required to destroy three dog houses, though, as you might expect, the challenge’s description doesn’t tell you how or where to find them.

Luckily, we’ve got all the details on how to initiate this challenge, where to find the dog houses, and how to destroy them. Remember, during season 5, the challenges are set up in stages, meaning you have prerequisites to complete first. To unlock this particular challenge, you must complete the first three stages. You have to destroy mailboxes, plant the evidence at certain locations, and find clues — all of which we’ve covered in their own separate guides. Once you’ve done the first three, you can start the final Doggo challenge. Here’s how to destroy dog houses in Fortnite.

To be frank, the setup of this challenge is more difficult than the challenge itself. It’ll take you some time to complete the first stages, but once you do, you’ll be ready to destroy some dog houses. The dog houses you need to destroy are found in the northeastern portion of Pleasant Park — surrounding the (human) house in this location. There are around five or six in the area, but to complete the challenge, you only need to destroy three. Check the image above for the location of the house.

As you land, take note of other opponents around you. Since this is a new challenge, the area will likely be heavily populated with players who are also looking to destroy dog houses. If you see a ton of players landing in the same location, you can still try your luck, but be aware that you’ll likely get taken out if you don’t pick up a weapon. In the video above, you can see the locations of five dog houses in the area. To destroy the dog houses, simply smack them with your pickaxe. A couple of slashes will do the trick.

As with most challenges, you don’t actually need to destroy all three in the same match. So if you do get taken out before you’ve completed the challenge, you can rest easy, as your progress carries over from match to match. After you’ve destroyed your third dog house, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP. And with that, you’ll be all finished with the Doggo challenges for this week. For the most part, they aren’t too difficult — it’s just a matter of knowing where to go.

Midas with Pump and Dump in Fortnite

As Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 moves further into its wild Lawless theme, the weapons meta is heating up, enthralling players and shaking up the battle royale scene. This season, which debuted on February 21, 2025, has already offered a wild arsenal customized to its heist-focused narrative, with vault-busting gadgets and close-range brawlers dominating early strategies. Melee weapons initially dominated the scene, infuriating some competitive players with their overpowering presence, but a transition is beginning as new firepower emerges to threaten the status quo.

Exotic and Mythic weapons have begun to appear in the loot pool, with standouts like Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun have stirred controversy about their suitability for the season's fast-paced, close-quarters fighting. However, the latest addition—a dual-wield marvel called the Pump and Dump—is creating the most excitement. This shotgun-SMG hybrid promises to alter encounters and add a new twist to Fortnite's love for creative weaponry. As players scramble to adapt, the Pump and Dump's debut portends a potential meta shift, with the option of dominating load-outs or fading into oblivion. Here's how you can get your hands on the weapon.
