Fortnite lightning bolts week 1 challenge: Search floating bolts Season 5 map locations

Fortnite Battle Royale Season 5 is live, complete with a list of brand new weekly challenges.

Season 5 mixes things up on the challenge front, releasing three free challenges and four challenges exclusive to Battle Pass users.

The challenges are separated into hard and regular tiers of difficulty.

The hard difficulty  challenges net players ten Battle Stars, while the regular tasks reward fans with five Battle Stars.

Unlocking Battle Stars levels up your Battle Pass, which is how you unlock all the rewards on offer.

Season 5 also features bonus challenges that will net players specific items. The Road Trip challenges are similar to Blockbuster challenges from Season 4.

The Road Trip tier rewards players with special loading screens for fully completing all weekly challenges. These loading screens feature hidden Battle Star clues.

Drift Challenges, meanwhile, reward players with different skins for earning XP. Earning enough XP to complete four out of five tiers unlocks a special Harvesting Tool.

One of this week’s new challenges tasks players with searching seven different floating lightning bolts. Check out the gallery above to find out how to do it.

It looks like there are more than seven floating lightning bolts dotted throughout the map.

Judging by the early reports, one can be found in Tilted Towers and another near Lazy Links.

There’s also one in Greasy Grove, near the sporting goods store and burger shack.

Lightning bolts appear as bright lights in the sky, and some require a lot of materials to access.

This is especially true of the lightning bolt between the two hills near Haunted Hills.
