Fortnite challenge guide: Open chests or ammo boxes in low-gravity areas

Add as a preferred source on Google

A new set of Fortnite challenges is live, this time for season 7, week 6. While the newest challenges aren’t particularly difficult, they’re slightly more complicated than the ones from last week. One challenge sends you on a quest to open chests or ammo boxes in low-gravity areas. Even if you’ve been playing all season long, you might not be aware of where to find these low-gravity areas. Or perhaps you’d like a quick method of getting through the objective so you can check it off your list.

Not to worry, as we’ve got everything you need to know about completing this challenge. In this guide, we’ll show you how to open chests or ammo boxes in low-gravity areas in Fortnite.

Where to find low-gravity areas

Currently, there are two methods of getting to a low-gravity area. The easiest way is to head to Holly Hatchery on the west side of the map. Here, you can see many of the houses in the neighborhood are boxed in by a purple substance, indicating a low-gravity spot. So you can probably guess what you need to do. Head to one of the buildings within the low-gravity zone and begin your search for chests/ammo boxes!

The other method is a little more complicated, but we thought it’d be worth mentioning nonetheless. If you get abducted by one of the large ships around the map (known as abductors), you’ll be warped to the mothership, where you’ll need to loot up and outlast the timer or collect five orbs. During the looting phase, you’ll be in a low-gravity area, so you can use this as an opportunity to finish the challenge. Though, this method is way more complicated than simply going to Holly Hatchery, so we advise skipping it.

For the purposes of more easily finding chests in Holly Hatchery, we advise turning Visualize Sound Effects on within your sound options. That way, you’ll get an on-screen notification of the chest. Your best bet is to head to the large house in the northeastern section to look for ammo boxes, because these are way more abundant than the chests. Though, if you’re lucky, you’ll manage to get some chests, too. You need to open a total of three chests or ammo boxes, so you’ve got some wiggle room. Just make sure you’re only looting in the low-gravity areas, because some of the houses in Holly Hatchery are outside of the purple spots you should be aiming for.

Once you’ve opened three chests or ammo crates in the area, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 30,000 XP.

Forget console wars. Steam Machine may help kill lazy PC gaming ports
Valve’s expensive mini PC could become PC gaming’s new baseline
Steam Machine with Steam Controller

Valve’s Steam Machine has become easy to dunk on. The price starts well above current consoles, and the hardware sits somewhere between entry-level and mid-range gaming PCs rather than a monster rig. Early reviews have also talked about how demanding games need upscaling, trimmed settings, and realistic expectations.

With the ongoing memory crisis, it sounds like a rough time to bring a PC to the couch. Though the Steam Machine doesn't need to beat high-end gaming PCs or the big consoles. Its purpose was different from the start. And what really makes it better is how it could shift the PC gaming segment entirely.

Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders recently went live, but the excitement came with one frustrating catch. The so-called physical edition of the game will not include a disc. Instead, buyers will get a box with cover art and a download code inside.

That decision immediately caused backlash online, especially among collectors who still care about owning games on disc. For a while, there was some hope that this would only be temporary. Reports suggested that Rockstar could release a proper disc version of GTA 6 in December 2026, giving physical media fans something to wait for.

The Steam Machine launch hasn’t even happened, but the resale circus has begun
Scalpers are already trying to cash in on Valve’s Steam Machine

Valve has started sending out reservation emails for the Steam Machine ahead of its June 30 launch, and scalpers have wasted no time turning the whole thing into a comedy act.

The Steam Machine is already an expensive device, as RAM and SSD prices have made hardware pricing miserable across the industry. Valve has previously said it would like to lower the price if component costs improve. That makes the resale listings even harder to take seriously, because the official price was already higher than many people expected before scalpers added their own fantasy tax.
