'Fortnite' Season 6 Week 2 Challenges

Every week there is a new set of challenges for Fortnite players and with Season 6 just kicking off, week 1's challenges have arrived It's time to get back into the battleground for a chance to show off to those other players your skills and uncover new Battle Stars!

For those that may be new to the world of Battle Royale, these weekly challenges are a set of quests that Epic Games has given to participants looking for a different way to level up and climb up those tier ranks. The goal essentially is to get all of the Battle Stars so that players can unlock progressive loot to show off to others. Get that sweet, sweet gear and show everybody else who is boss.

It is important to note that the team is doing things a bit differently this go around. Before, only Battle Pass members could partake in the challenges. Now, they are spreading the wealth a bit with both Battle Pass and Free Challenges. Ready for what Week 1 has to offer? Let's get started:

Free Challenges:

• Visit all of the Corrupted Areas
• Use a Shadow Stone in different matches
• Stage 1: Deal Damage with standard Assault Rifles to opponents

Battle Pass Challenges:

• Eliminate an opponent from at least 50m away
• Deal damage with pistols to opponents
• SMG eliminations
• Stage 1: Deal damage with Hunting Rifles to opponents

This week's challenges is very weapon specific, so it's going to be important for players to pay attention to their loadout at all times. Keep an SMG and Hunting Rifle on hand, and knock out three in one go. If you didn't want consumables, you could have the entire weapon list slotted, but that would be up to individual players.
