Every Week 8 Challenge in Fortnite Season 3 | Screen Rant
With only a few weeks left in Fortnite Season 3, the Week 8 Challenges once again work to encourage players to experience some of the new game mechanics. After a long wait and a short delay from last week, driveable cars have finally arrived to Fortnite. Because of this, many of this week's new challenges have to do with driving and operating a vehicle during a match. This week, vehicle also refers to boats, as there is at least one boating-themed challenge joining the week's lineup.
Players partake in the Weekly Challenges to earn XP toward leveling up their Battle Pass, which rewards players with custom items like the Build-A-Brella and other cosmetic upgrades. Each challenge in the lineup for Week 8 is worth 35,000 XP, with the exception of one Team Challenge (denoted by "Rec 4 Players") that is worth 80,000 XP. Additionally, though the Aquaman challenges have passed, players can now explore Atlantis at the Coral Castle location thanks to the receding waters and can partake in a new secret Coral Buddies challenge, as well as a secret space-age challenge. With so much to do, here's every new Week 8 Challenge in Fortnite Season 3.
As in past weeks, the challenges for Week 8 are not too difficult, though one may pose more of a challenge than the rest. Players should plan to start driving this week, and they should be prepared to make a few pit stops for gas along the way. Fueling can be dangerous, and players will need to be on their toes to avoid elimination.
The Week 8 Weekly Challenges for Fortnite Season 3 are:
- Search 7 Chests at Frenzy Farms
- Make 3 Eliminations at Salty Springs
- Complete the boat time trial at Motorboat Mayhem
- Drive a car from Retail Row to Pleasant Park in less than 4 minutes
- Collect 500 Wood from Holly Hedges
- Deal 1 Damage to opponents from inside a vehicle
- (Team Challenge) Deal 10,000 Damage to opponents from inside a vehicle
- Search 7 Ammo Boxes at Lazy Lake
Unlike past weeks, where players could still easily complete the Team Challenge on their own, this week's seems like one where a Squad will be imperative. The new firing while driving mechanic is interesting, and players will be far more effective working together to deal damage than they would be on their own,
The time trial at Motorboat Mayhem was scheduled to take place earlier in the season but was replaced with another challenge. Players can find Motorboat Mayhem at Lazy Lake and will need to race as though on a track to complete the time trial. Because many players will be flocking to this area to complete their challenge, players may have better luck in Team Rumble.
One of the more difficult offerings this week will likely be the timed driving from Retail Row to Pleasant Park. While the distance itself is not too far, players may end up needing to stop for gas, which could cause a delay. They may also run into trouble and face elimination on their way.
This week's secret challenge in Fortnite still has to do with the Coral Buddies. This time, players will need to help the Coral Buddies with their nuclear testing. They will need to bring nuclear material and 100 metal to help them reach space.
Finally, another new secret challenge has unlocked this week. When the waters receded, they revealed an ancient spaceship at Craggy Cliffs. Once players find the ship, the challenge will activate, and they will be tasked with helping an alien return to space. This process involves finding and installing three missing parts.
Players can complete the Astronaut secret challenge alone in Battle Lab or with a Squad.
Fortnite is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and PC.
