As we mentioned, this challenge has a three stages. This means you won’t be able to see the next stage of the challenge until you finish the first stage and leave that specific match. You also won’t be able to complete the following stage if you haven’t completed the previous one either.

We recommend you complete this challenge in Fortnite’s Team Rumble mode as you’ll have more time to do it, more teammates to help you out, fewer enemies to worry about, and respawns. Since this is a multi-stage challenge, there is only one thing you need to do in each match and it will take you at least three matches to complete.

This is a good thing, though, since all you need to do is make sure you land near the area where the tomato and other big heads are located. If you want an extra boost to easily finish this challenge, we recommend turning on the Party Assist mode that allows you and your teammates to complete the challenge together.

When you first jump into a new match, head for the middle of Mega Mall. Mega Mall, for those who don’t know, is one of the new named locations that was added with the launch of season nine after the volcano wiped out Retail Row. It’s a massive mall full of various shopping areas including a giant holographic tomato head.

Now, the actual holographic tomato head is located at the top of Mega Mall, so you will need to either climb the stairs to the roof area or simply build yourself a ramp up there. When you get to the top, you will want to look for the giant holographic tomato head on the eastern edge of the rooftop as seen in our screenshot above.

Keep in mind is that you must dance inside of the holographic tomato head in order for the first part of this challenge to complete. Dancing in front of it or next to it will not complete the challenge. Unfortunately, it is floating in the air above the rest of the mall, so you will need to build yourself a ramp up to it so that you can dance inside of it. Use your favorite dance emote and you will know you’ve done it correctly when you get a notification in the top left corner.

Once you complete the first part of this challenge, all you need to do is leave the match early or finish it. Either way, when you leave, you will get a notification for the second stage of the challenge. This second stage is similar to the first, but this time we need to dance inside a holographic Durr Burger head.

Head for Neo Tilted, another area that was destroyed and rebuilt at the beginning of season nine. The exact location of the Durr Burger head is on the southern end of Neo Tilted. You’ll have to look high up for it, as it’s at the very top of one of the highest buildings in the city.

You will need to build yourself a way up there or climb the building to the top. Once there, dance and you should get the notification again in the top left corner of your screen.

After leaving the second match, you will get the notification for the third and final stage of this season nine, week four challenge. The final part of this challenge tasks you with dancing on top of the giant dumpling head. To do this, you will need to enter a third and final match, and this time, land in or near Lucky Landing.

On the northwestern end of town, there is a building with a giant smirking dumpling on it. What makes it different from the previous two is that it’s a solid object and not a hologram. You will need to either land on top of it or build yourself up to the top of it and dance there. Doing this will notify you that you’ve completed this challenge.

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.

How to give specialist a command in Fortnite
Character interacting with NPC in Fortnite.

As part of Fortnite's Spring Breakout Daily Quests, players are tasked with giving a hired specialist character a command. Of course, the game doesn't specify how to do this exactly, leading to some confusion amongst the community. Thankfully, we've got everything you need to know about completing this new quest with ease in Fortnite.
How to hire a specialist

Specialist Characters are specific NPCs all around the map. If you pull up the quest itself, you'll actually see a map of all the Specialist Characters. Keep in mind that not all NPCs fall into this category, so be sure to look at the map. We like the one to the very north of Breakwater Bay as it's usually out of the way. Once you find them, you'll need to pay 200 Gold Bars to hire them. If you don't have the funds, be sure to play more and complete bounties as needed.
How to give a character a command
After you've hired the Specialist Character, they'll be on your side for the duration of the match. If you look at the top left side of the screen, you'll see an icon that represents the Follower Communications wheel. Press and hold left on the D-pad on console or the middle mouse button on PC to get this menu to appear. Once it does, you can pick from a list of commands such as wait or follow. To complete the quest, you simply need to issue one command and after the NPC does what you ask, you'll earn credit for completing it.
