Fortnite challenge guide: Complete the Whiplash time trial

Joseph Yaden

For the latest Fortnite challenge list, you’ll need to be familiar with the Whiplash sports car. The challenges throughout season 7 have varied in complexity, but during week 7, a lot of them are more straightforward than you might expect. Since there are so many that require the use of the Whiplash sports car, you can actually get a large chunk of the challenges knocked out rather quickly. One of the last ones you’ll go for requires you to complete a Whiplash time trial.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to find a Whiplash and how to get through the latest challenge. Here’s how to complete the Whiplash time trial in Fortnite.

Before attempting one of the trials, you’ll need to find a Whiplash sports car, which are detailed all along the map shown above (thanks, Fortnite.gg). For the purposes of this challenge, we advise heading to Lazy Lake — not just because there is an abundance of Whiplash cars there, but because the trial here is relatively simple to complete. You can get through it quickly thanks to the layout of the area.

But there are two other time trials to choose from, as well, so keep that in mind.

Assuming you’re attempting the time trial at Lazy Lake, land there, hop in a Whiplash, and make your way up to the northeastern road to begin the time trial. Take note of the arrow tied to the time trial icon, as this will tell you the direction of the course itself. In essence, you need to wrap around Lazy Lake clockwise, and you have around 20 seconds to do so.

This might not sound like a lot of time, but if you drive carefully and avoid crashing, you should be able to reach the finish line with time to spare. In total, there are nine checkpoints to drive through (excluding the first one), so make sure you don’t miss one as you make your way around. We also found it extremely useful to use the handbrake, which allows you to turn more accurately.

It did take us a few tries to get this one done, but as long as you don’t crash into anything, you should be able to reach the finish line in time.

Keep in mind, you only have to complete one of the three time trials to finish this challenge, so no need to visit the others once you’ve done this one. At the end of it, you’ll be rewarded with 30,000 XP for your troubles.

Landing on the Vondel map in Warzone.

Even if you're an expert Call of Duty: Warzone player, your performance during any given match can be determined by your landing spot. Get unlucky with your drop spot and your team might wipe right off the bat. Likewise, a less experienced player might do well if they land away from the action.

But with so many potential landing spots, it's not always easy to pick a drop point, especially if you're unfamiliar with the game. Thankfully, we've got you covered with everything you'll need to know.

The best weapons in Warzone

Now that Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 4 has been out for a little while, we've got a better sense of the game's weapon meta. There are some clear winners that carry over from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, but there are other top-tier weapons that might surprise you in battle royale. Of course, the weapon meta constantly shifts as Activision updates the way firearms perform, so we'll make sure to keep this up to date with each new patch.

These are the best Warzone 2.0 weapons for Season 4, categorized by weapon type. Keep in mind, some categories will be skipped, as they don't have any viable -- let alone meta -- options at the moment.

Final Fantasy 16 Timely Accessories: what they are and how to equip them

Traditionally, Final Fantasy titles don't come with difficulty options. As the series has grown leading up to Final Fantasy 16, Square Enix has started to add some options to make the game more accessible to players. Considering this latest entry is more action-heavy than any that has come before, with advanced moves like perfect dodges and parries, these tools are more necessary than ever for longtime fans who prefer a more traditional JRPG experience. While the Timely Accessories can't turn this action game into a turn-based one like older entries, it can at least give you enough of an edge to feel comfortable getting through combat so you can enjoy the deep and complex story. Let's go over what these Timely Accessories are and how to equip them in Final Fantasy 16.
What are Timely Accessories?

Timely Accessories in Final Fantasy 16 are basically your difficulty modifiers, but instead of being menu options, they're items. These types of items have become a bit more common in the last few years and include the Chicken Hat from Metal Gear Solid V. This time, there are five different accessories that you can pick from, each of which modifies the game in different ways to give you an edge in combat. Here are all five of the Timely Accessories and what they do:
Ring of Timely Evasion
When equipped, Clive will automatically evade attacks, as long as the attacks can be evaded.
Ring of Timely Focus
When equipped, time slows before an evadable enemy attack strikes Clive. There's no effect when equipped with the Ring of Timely evasion.
Ring of Timely Strikes
When equipped, complex ability combinations can be executed by simply pressing the Square button.
Ring of Timely Assistance
When equipped, pet commands will be executed automatically based on Clive's actions.
Ring of Timely Healing
When equipped, healing potions will automatically be used when Clive's HP falls below a certain threshold. More common healing items like potions will be used before rarer ones like high potions.
How to equip Timely Accessories
When you first begin Final Fantasy 16 you will need to choose between Story and Action Focused modes. These technically also serve as your difficulty selection, but it's really just a simplified way of enabling the Timely Accessories. Regardless of which difficulty you choose, you will always have access to all these accessories and can switch at any time while playing (as long as you are not currently in combat).
