Ahead of the Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenges officially becoming active, dataminers leaked what’s in store next in the Battle Pass.
Here are the leaked Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenges that were revealed in a post by Fortnite Tracker:

Fortnite season 5 launched last week and with it Epic Games introduced a big shake-up to how challenges work.
Previously the Fortnite weekly challenges were only for those who paid for the Fortnite season Battle Pass.
But this time round challenges are divided into two sections – one for Battle Pass holders and one for those playing completely for free.
So, even if you decide against purchasing a Battle Pass you can still get in on the Fortnite weekly challenges action.
Here is, in Epic Games’ own words, the way challenges now work in Fortnite season 5, taken from the V5.0 patch notes:
• Starting in Season 5, progressive challenges will no longer be restricted to a single season. You can now complete progressive challenges at your own pace.
• Progressive challenges are now completed by acquiring a fixed amount of XP and is no longer dependant on your season level.
• Weekly challenges are now split into two sections, free and Battle Pass. The first three challenges will be available for free while the last 4 are only available if you own the Battle Pass. The threshold to unlock the weekly challenge reward will remain at four.
If you’re wondering what the Fortnite challenges are for season 5 week 1, then here are the current Battle Pass tasks:
