Fortnite season 6, week 5 challenges and how to complete them

Joseph Yaden
By

It’s a new week, which can only mean one thing: The newest set of Fortnite challenges is live and ready to go. It’s week 5 of season 6, and the latest set of challenges requires you to familiarize yourself with the game’s vehicles. Aside from that, the rest of the tasks are ones you’ll likely make progress toward while playing normally, so you shouldn’t have too many difficulties making your way through this week’s quests.

Despite this, you’ll have a much easier time getting through the list if you’ve got some help, which is where we come in! Here, we’ll go through all of the new challenges, along with tips on how to complete the tough ones. Here are Fortnite’s season 6, week 5 challenges and how to complete the more difficult quests.

Remember, it’s a good idea to take a look at the latest challenge list before diving in, just so you’re aware of what you need to do. In general, you won’t have too many difficulties this week, but a few of them will require you to be aware of specific locations.

The full list is as follows:

  • Deal damage with SMGs (1,000)
  • Search ammo boxes (5)
  • Use a campfire (1)
  • Modify vehicles with off-road tires (3)
  • Drive from Sweaty Sands to Colossal Crops without leaving the vehicle (1)
  • Maintain a speed of 65 or greater for 4 seconds in a vehicle (1)
  • Get 2 seconds of airtime in a vehicle (2)

Challenges like dealing damage with SMGs and searching ammo boxes will come naturally, but others — such as modifying vehicles with off-road tires — will require some extra knowledge. For the more difficult quests, we’ve got guides on how to complete them below.

Season 6, week 5 challenge guide

Modify vehicles with off-road tires

The main thing to know about this challenge is that you must visit specific garages around the map to acquire the upgrade materials. Be sure to check our guide below for more details on how to upgrade your vehicles with off-road tires.

How to modify vehicles with off-road tires

Drive from Sweaty Sands to Colossal Crops without leaving the vehicle

This one is straightforward: Land at Sweaty Sands, make sure your vehicle has around 30% gas or so, and then mark Colossal Crops on your map. Then drive there without getting out of your car and you’ll finish the challenge with little to no issues.

Maintain a speed of 65 or greater for 4 seconds in a vehicle

The easiest way to complete this challenge is by using the Whiplash vehicle, which always spawns in the garage in a house to the far west of Sweaty Sands. It’s along the shore of the west side of the map, so hop in and stick to the main roads to climb up to 65mph. Use your booster if you have to.

And those are all the challenges you’ll need help with during Fortnite’s season 6, week 5. Luckily, this week’s list isn’t too difficult, so you should be able to complete them quickly. Remember, if you’re having trouble, consult with a squad and play in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you get eliminated.

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.
