Each week, we always recommend taking a glance at the latest challenges so you can keep them in the back of your mind as you play. Some of them, like searching ammo boxes, are straightforward and don’t require additional information to complete. Others, like defeating Riot, are a bit more complicated.

The full list of season 7, week 7 challenges is as follows:

  • Use a Recon Scanner to spot an enemy player (1)
  • Visit Misty Meadows, Catty Corner, and Camp Cod in a single match (3)
  • Search ammo boxes (5)
  • Defeat Riot (1)
  • Reach top speed in a Whiplash (1)
  • Drive a Whiplash through the storm (1)
  • Complete Whiplash time trials (1)

For the most part, you shouldn’t need a lot of assistance completing this new set of challenges, though you will need to know where to find a Whiplash car and the location of Riot. Below are guides for all the harder challenges for the week.
