The Fortnite week 2 challenges are out now as we head into the second week of season 6. The big challenge this week is a multi-stage challenge that has several parts to it and that every player can take on. Here’s how to complete it the fastest.
Season six of Battle Royale is finally getting underway in Fortnite. Last week was an adjustment period as players around the world on all platforms got used to the idea of the brand new map with so many different changes and additions, like the floating island. This week, the challenges are in full swing with a ton of new objectives for players to complete.
These seven new challenges are all pretty standard fare, outside of the new multi-stage Fortnite week two challenge. Designated as one of the only two “hard” challenges this week, this is the one that will give players a tough time. This is mainly because the challenge has multiple parts to it instead of your typical “kill X number of enemies” or “collect this many puzzle pieces.”
This multi-stage week two challenge can be lengthy and frustrating for a number of reasons. For one, you can’t complete the entire challenge in one match. The way it’s set up requires you complete each objective separately before you can move on to the next one. In fact, you can’t even access or see what the next task is without completing its predecessor.
Thankfully, that’s where we come in. We’ve already completed this challenge in its entirety, so we know what you’re up against this week. There are a total of three stages that you will need to finish in this challenge. You can complete this hard challenge in no less than three separate matches.
That doesn’t mean you have to, though, and it isn’t likely you will. You can take your time and complete it over as many matches as you’d like in the next week. Better yet, this is a totally free challenge, so that means you won’t need to own the season six Battle Royale Battle Pass in order to unlock this challenge. Anyone can check it out and gain some much-needed Battle Stars. You’ll definitely want those if you want to acquire one of the new pets that were added this season.
Here are some general tips for completing this Fortnite week two multi-stage challenge before we dive into each individual step that you will need to complete.
First and foremost, we recommend that you do this challenge in the Soaring 50 versus 50 limited time mode that is available right now. Like with other challenges such as the “ dance under different streetlights ” one, playing in this mode makes your job a whole lot easier.
That’s because you have the benefit of 49 other teammates instead of having them as enemies, like in other modes. This allows you to have more people watching your back. You will be able to complete this multi-stage challenge in relative peace and quiet. It also means you have an ample amount of time to look for weapons and gear (which you will need) since the circle takes a long time to close.
You’ll be able to hit up the named areas like Tilted Towers and the new floating island together with a bunch of people, so you won’t have to worry about enemies getting to the precious weapons before you do at the beginning of the match. Lastly, Sony made the monumental decision to allow cross-play with all of the other platforms, so feel free to team up with anyone you want to complete this challenge together.
Now, onto the first stage in this multi-part challenge. The very first stage asks you to “deal damage to opponents with an assault rifle.” To be exact, you’ll need to deal 200 damage in total in order to complete this first objective. For reference, 200 damage is equal to a single player with full health and full shields, or two separate enemies with full health and no shields.
At the very least, you’ll need to kill one person in a Battle Royale match with an assault rifle. However, they may not have the shields or health for you to reach your objective, so you will most likely need to fight at least one more person to complete this first part. This is why it’s imperative that you take this on in the 50 versus 50 mode.
The danger is lessened in this mode and you can safely team up with a large group of people and pick off enemies from afar with your assault rifle. More importantly, it’s easier to get loot safely and without having to watch your back. That means you’ll find an assault rifle with less trouble. Note that it needs to be a regular assault rifle. Burst assault rifles don’t count.
For this, you are going to want to head to popular named areas like Tilted Towers, Dusty Divot, and the new floating island. It all depends on where your Battle Bus heads, but choose a major location on your half of the Battle Royale map. You are going to want to head into buildings and search in treasure chests for the best assault rifle you can find.
Once you have one, stock up on ammo with ammo boxes by finding more rifles. You will want to be fully prepared, especially if you plan on completing this first stage in one match. However, don’t fret if you don’t get enough damage. The damage you do will carry over and you can finish it in the next match. Once you’re ready, head to the circle in the middle and join up with teammates to find some enemies to kill. Deal 200 damage in total and you will be ready for part two.
Stage two tasks you with dealing 200 more damage. This time, though, you must use the burst assault rifle. For those who aren’t familiar with this weapon, it fires in three quick shots at once. Like the last stage, you are going to want to head to main areas in 50 versus 50 mode to find one of these rifles. They are a little harder to find.
Once you have it, stock up on ammo and then head to the circle in the middle to duke it out. It’s worth noting that the burst assault rifle does have some kinks to it, unlike the normal assault rifle. The three shot burst can take out enemies quickly, but demands accuracy. There’s a small delay between bursts that leaves you vulnerable.
You can sneak around this problem by picking up multiple burst rifles. When you miss or need to reload, simply switch to the next one and keep on firing so your enemy can’t get the drop on you. If that’s not possible, build some forts to buy yourself some time to recover. Make sure you have some extra shield potions or a chug jug to help with that.
Like stage one, deal 200 damage in total across matches (this includes if you die) and you will have completed the second stage.
With the burst assault rifle stage out of the way, we have made it to the final stage in this season six week two multi-part challenge. This one is the hardest yet, though not because of the difficulty. It’s the weapon that’ll give you issues. Keeping with the assault rifle theme, this time you have to deal 200 damage with the suppressed assault rifle.
