Fortnite challenge guide: Collect cat food

We’re now in week 3 of Fortnite season 7, and of course, it comes with lots of challenges for you to complete. Though, you might have some trouble this week, as all of the challenges require you to visit specific, unmarked locations on the map. You’ll need to collect certain items and even talk to NPCs around the map this week, and doing so can be tricky. One challenge in particular is for collecting cat food.

It sounds easy enough, but the game doesn’t exactly specify where to go. No need to worry, as we’ve got all the details on completing this challenge. Here’s how to collect cat food in Fortnite.

Where to find cat food

There are two main hubs that feature cat food in Fortnite: Dirty Docks and Retail Row. Each location features two cat food containers, with a total of four across both. To complete this challenge, you only need to find two, which eliminates the need to visit the other location. The map above shows the general location of each cat food container (thanks, Fortnite.gg). The thing is, you might run into other players when attempting this challenge, which could make things difficult.

With that in mind, we always recommend attempting most challenges in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you get eliminated early. And it’s best to try this with a squad so they can protect you as you search for cat food. Since these areas are tied to a challenge, it’s possible they’ll be busy, so you should come prepared. Try to land away from the cat food so you can grab a weapon and other gear ahead of time.

Below are the specific locations of each cat food container.

First, we’ll cover the two cat food locations at Dirty Docks. You can grab these in any order. The first is on the west side of the area with the container in the center of Dirty Docks. Look for it next to the blue container.

Next, head east a little bit while still remaining in the container area to find the next one close to a stack of boxes.

Retail Row

Next up is Retail Row. The first one is inside the large supermarket on the east side of this area. Look for it against the back left wall.

The last one is outside of the previous building on the north side, just next to the large door.

Once you’ve collected two of the four cat food containers, you’ll be finished with the challenge.

Fortnite is coming back to iOS, but Epic Games still isn’t happy about it

Fortnite is set to come back to iOS in Europe sometime in 2024. This will mark the first time a natively running version of Fortnite will be available on iOS since Apple removed the game from the App Store in 2020.

Apple did so at the time because Epic tried to use its own third-party payment system, kicking off a series of legal battles in an attempt to get Apple to open up its platform more. Although those legal battles have yielded mixed results for Epic, a newly passed Digital Markets Act in the European Union is forcing Apple to do things like "allow third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services in certain specific situations" and "allow their business users to promote their offer and conclude contracts with their customers outside the gatekeeper’s platform."

Rock Band 4 gets its final piece of DLC next week after over 8 years of support

Harmonix revealed that the January 25 DLC tracks for Rock Band 4 will be the final new ones added to the game.

This ends a streak of more than eight years of weekly DLC for the rhythm game. Ever since Rock Band 4 was released in October 2015, new DLC songs have been made available for purchase every week, giving the game one of the most impressive live service tails in the industry. Ultimately, Harmonix says it will have released nearly 3,000 songs as DLC for Rock Band 4 after the final content drop next week, and that live service support for seasons and online play will "continue as normal" after next week.
