It’s that time of the week again, which can only mean one thing: Time to cover the latest list of Fortnite challenges. It’s week 3 of season 6, and the latest set of challenges requires you to deal damage with certain weapons, fish in specific locations, and defeat NPCs around the map. You probably won’t have too much difficulty finishing this week’s challenges, but if you’re stuck, you’ve come to the right place.

As always, we’ve compiled a list of the latest challenges along with walk-throughs on how to complete some of the trickier ones. Here are Fortnite‘s season 6, week 3 challenges and how to complete the more difficult ones.

As always, we recommend at least glancing at the list of challenges so you have a good idea of what to expect. While this week’s challenges are still fairly straightforward, some will require more effort to complete than others.

The full list is as follows:

  • Fly 20 meters with a chicken (20)
  • Hunt a chicken (1)
  • Catch fish at Camp Cod, Lake Canoe, or Stealthy Stronghold (5)
  • Deal damage with shotguns (1,000)
  • Get headshots with rifles (10)
  • Deal damage within 20 meters using a pistol (500)
  • Eliminate Raptor, Zenith, or Blackheart (1)

You’ll likely earn progress toward getting headshots with rifles or dealing damage with shotguns by playing naturally — but other challenges like eliminating Raptor, Zenith, or Blackheart will require more effort. For the tougher objectives, we’ve got detailed guides on how to complete them below.

And with that, you should be prepared to tackle all of this week’s challenges. For the most part, they shouldn’t give you too much trouble aside from taking down one of the NPCs, but if you come prepared, you’ll be able to eliminate them with few issues.

How to launch fireworks at Coachella Island in Fortnite
Launching fireworks at Coachella Island in Fortnite.

The week 2 Fortnite Coachella quests are live now, and while a lot of them are straightforward, one seems to have caused some confusion for many players. The quest is for launching fireworks at Coachella Island, and as expected, the game doesn't necessarily specify how to complete the objective. In this guide, we'll show you how to launch fireworks at Coachella in Fortnite.
Visit Coachella Island

The first step is to actually make your way to Coachella Island. You cannot complete this quest during a normal match and instead must head into a Creator Made Island. To do so, you'll need to head to Island Code from the game mode menu and utilize the code 5449-4207-1280. Then, launch into a match on Coachella Island.

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.
