Fortnite is releasing their challenges for the third week of season 3. A free-to-play battle royale game by Epic Games, Fortnite’s Season 3 started on June 17 and focuses on navigating the wacky and colorful world with new terrain: water.
The flood was caused by the Doomsday Device event on June 15, kicking off the new season. Many players had difficulty joining the event due to the sheer number of players participating, and the event had over 2.3 million viewers on Twitch. The event turned the storm into water, and over the course of a few days, it flooded the island. Many items and locations have been displaced as a result, but new landmarks have been added.
New locations make the game more interesting and challenging, but all the more fun to explore to complete challenges. With challenges located at new or displaced locations, such as on Mewoscle’s Yacht or the Fortilla, memorizing the locations of the POI’s can come in handy.
While Season 2 was themed around Marvel’s Deadpool, Season 3 is themed around DC’s Aquaman. It seems only fitting that the defender of the sea would be the new special skin for this watery season. Previous nautical challenges allowed players to unlock Aquaman skins, with and without a shirt.
Fortnite Season 3 Week 3 Challenges
Week 2 challenges consisted of tasks such as finding Deadpool floaties on Mewoscle’s Yacht, headshotting henchmen at the Fortilla, and using zip lines at The Authority. Week 3’s challenges will bring players back to locations they may have visited to complete previous challenges, like The Authority, Lazy Lake, and Catty Corner, but Frenzy Farm and Retail Row are new challenge locations you might have to track down.
- Search chests or ammo boxes at Misty Meadows: 0/7
- Eliminations at The Authority: 0/3
- Collect Floating Rings at Lazy Lake: 0/4
- Dance on top the Crane at Rickety Rig: 0/1
- Deal damage from inside a cornfield at Frenzy Farm: 0/100
- Destroy cars within 60 seconds of landing at Retail Row from the Battle Bus: 0/2
- Land a Choppa at the bottom of a Steamy Stacks: 0/1
- Deal Damage to opponents at Catty Corner: 0/200
Many of the challenges involve finding items and dealing damage to opponents at or from certain locations, collecting items, and searching chests. Unlike other weeks in Season 3, this week has eight challenges instead of seven. Most of these challenges are normal parts of gameplay, while you may have to go out of your way to complete a few of them.
Fortnite is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and PC.
