How to complete Fortnite Quests in Season 3 of Chapter 5
We've got the lowdown on beating all of the Fortnite Quests
Just when you thought the Fortnite quests couldn't expand any further, we have another two new sections arrive linked to Fortnite Reload, including daily challenges and cumulative ones that can only be worked towards in that game mode. There's also a fresh section of Story quests to complete and further the scripted storyline, though you'll need to have completed the previous parts before you can access those, and if you're planning on ticking off all of the Metallica section then you need to act fast as they'll be expiring early next week. Of course, there's still a lot happening outside of the battle royale, so make sure you visit the separate experiences of Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival to see what they have on offer.
Don't overlook them, as they provide a significant amount of additional XP during Fortnite Season 3 to speed up your progress through the Battle Pass. Alongside the Nitro Wasteland Stories Snapshot storyline quests, you can take on Jumpstart quests showcasing the fresh mechanics introduced this season, plus the returning Daily quests, overall progress quests (Milestones), and classic Weekly quests providing plenty of different options.
The Week 5 quests see you using Nitro Splash while in a vehicle, so make sure you switch to a passenger seat, and you'll also need to damage opponents while in a vehicle and emote while attached with a Tow Hook Cannon – look out for that harpoon-like weapon so you can connect yourself to a moving vehicle.
There are certain Fortnite quests that will get ticked off through natural gameplay and don't require attention, but we're here to help with the ones that need specific knowledge or actions to clear. Completing quests is a lot easier these days now we no longer rely on Fortnite characters to distribute them, so if you want to know what you need to do for that sweet XP boost, then check out the quests section of the main menu – or the pause menu – and you'll find them all clearly laid out, with the option to track your progress on a specific challenge. Keep completing quests and you'll earn massive amounts of XP across the entire Fortnite season so you can unlock fresh rewards – and who doesn't want that? Here's everything we know about the latest Fortnite quests.
