Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenge guide: How to drive through flaming rings

Add as a preferred source on Google

Fortnite’s season 5 week 2 challenges have just dropped, and while most of them aren’t too difficult, they do require you to go to specific locations to find certain items. One that might be stumping you requires you to drive through three specific flaming rings. It sounds simple enough, but there are some things you need to do before you’re able to get started with it. For one, this season’s challenges come in stages, meaning you have to complete the first stage to unlock the next — and so on.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock the challenge for driving through flaming rings, along with tips on how to complete it. For this one in particular, it’s stage three of the Burnout challenges, meaning you have to finish the first two beforehand. Stage one requires you to find car parts, while stage two sends you on a quest to deliver a vehicle from Steamy Stacks to Pleasant Park. Once you’ve done those two challenges, you can start this one. Here’s how to drive through flaming rings in Fortnite.

To complete this challenge, you need to drive through three rings, all of which are spread out around Pleasant Park. As usual, you don’t need to complete them in a specific order, but for the purposes of this guide, we’ll be covering them in a clockwise formation. To start, land toward the center of Pleasant Park to pick up a vehicle. It doesn’t have to be a fast car, but we do recommend grabbing one with enough gas so you can drive through all three rings in the same match. We advise grabbing a car with around 75% fuel or so.

Once you’ve grabbed a car, drive north toward the Stealthy Stronghold, where you’ll find the first ring ahead of a ramp. Use the images above for reference.

For the second flaming ring, you can find it to the southeast of the previous one between two hills, just before the blue bridge. It’s located ahead of some water beneath the aforementioned bridge.

For the final flaming ring, drive across the blue bridge to the east, where you’ll find a little race track among a dirt road in an area called Mowdown. Do be careful, as there are some enemy NPCs in this area that can take you out with little issues. Remember, you don’t need to drive through all three rings in the same game, as your progress does carry over from match to match.

After you’ve driven through the final flaming ring, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP for doing so. After this, you’ll be all finished with the Burnout challenges for this week.

Exclusive: Microsoft explains why RTX Spark’s Prism emulation is about more than higher FPS
Because an erratic 80 FPS will always feel worse than a silky-smooth 60.

NVIDIA’s RTX Spark may pack a powerful Blackwell GPU, but its ability to run the massive library of existing PC games on Arm depends on a quieter piece of technology: Microsoft’s Prism emulator. Prism allows x64 Windows games and applications to run on RTX Spark’s Arm-based CPU without requiring developers to immediately rewrite them for ARM64.

During an exclusive conversation at NVIDIA’s private IFA 2026 demo, Microsoft’s Peter Dawoud explained that the latest Prism work isn't just about pushing emulated workloads to higher FPS. Microsoft is also focused on performance consistency, particularly in GPU-heavy games where the CPU still has to coordinate frames, physics, and rendering. Because a higher average FPS doesn't always mean a smoother experience, that could prove to be one of Prism’s most important improvements yet.

I played Star Wars: Galactic Racer at Gamescom, and this is way more chaotic than I expected
Four very different vehicles, dangerous shortcuts and enough mid-race chaos to make even a podracer veteran sweat.

The first few minutes with Star Wars: Galactic Racer at Gamescom had me thinking I was playing a very pretty, very modern take on Wipeout. Then the race properly kicked off, and the Burnout DNA came roaring through.

That makes perfect sense, considering Fuse Games was founded by former Criterion developers. But knowing that on paper and actually feeling it while racing are two very different things. This is an arcade racer that really doesn't want you to sit back and admire the scenery. You're boosting, dodging, ramming rivals, dealing with power-ups and trying to pick the right racing line, all while the track throws hazards and shortcuts at you. It's loud, chaotic and, occasionally, wonderfully messy.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar is proof that gaming monitors don’t just need more Hz

There is something slightly ridiculous about the gaming-monitor arms race. We now have displays pushing 500Hz, 560Hz, and even 720Hz, with esports gamers understandably chasing every last millisecond. The problem? The faster you go, the more you're often asked to compromise on resolution.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar takes a very different approach. I got to see it in action at Gamescom, and after watching NVIDIA switch the technology on and off in front of me, I came away thinking that perhaps the industry has been asking the wrong question.
