Fortnite Basketball hoops, lightning bolts, Llamas, treasure and ALL weekly challenges

Fortnite Battle Royale Season 5 is in full swing, complete with a ton of new weekly challenges.

As part of the big Season 5 update, Epic Games has made three of the weekly challenges available for free and the other four challenges exclusive to Battle Pass users.

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

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

Earning Battle Stars levels up your Battle Pass, which is how you unlock all of 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 new costume pieces for earning XP. Earning enough XP to complete four out of five tiers unlocks a special Harvesting Tool.

The Fortnite Season 5, Week 1 challenges in full…

Free Challenges

• Deal damage with SMGs to opponents (500)

• Search a Supply Llama (1) – see gallery further down the page

• Clinger, Stink Bomb, or Grenade Eliminations (HARD) (3)

Battle Pass Challenges

• Search chests in Snobby Shores (7)

• Search floating Lightning Bolts (7) – see gallery above

• Follow the treasure map found in Risky Reels (HARD) (1) – see gallery below

• Eliminate opponents in Retail Row (HARD) (3)

Arguably the hardest challenge from week 1 is the ‘Search a Supply Llama’ task.

The biggest problem with this task is that the Supply Llamas appear randomly and are in limited supply.

According to a recent GamesRadar guide, Supply Llamas have been known to drop west of Fatal Fields in the 8F portion of the map.

The area north of the triangle of trees – just east of Retail Row – is another prime Supply Llama spot (I6 on the map).

Supply Llamas have also been spotted south of Greasy Grove, south of Tilted Towers and east of Retail Row.

It’s worth remembering that Supply Llama drops are random, but it’s a good idea to check these spots if you’re getting desperate.

The week 2 challenges in full… 

Free Challenges

• Deal damage with Assault Rifles to opponents (1000)

• Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match (7)

• Eliminate opponents in Paradise Palms (3) (HARD)

Battle Pass Challenges

• Score a basket on different hoops (5) – see gallery further down the page

• Search chests in Loot Lake (7)

• Search between an oasis, rock archway and dinosaurs (1) (HARD) – see gallery below

• Sniper Rifle Eliminations (2) (HARD)

One of week 2’s exclusive Battle Pass challenges tasks players with scoring baskets on different hoops.

To complete this challenge, players will need to have the basketball equipped from the emote section.

You unlock the basketball toy by reaching tier 11 in the Battle Pass. You can shoot a basketball by selecting it as an emote.

With the basketball toy equipped, you’ll need to head to the different hoop locations featured in the gallery, and then make a jump shot.

You need to score five different baskets to complete the challenge, although you don’t need to do this in a single game.

Another one of this week’s challenges tasks players with searching between an oasis, rock archway and dinosaur.

One of the easiest ways to get to the Battle Star is to land on top of the butte found on the H9 portion of the map.

When you’re on top of the dusty mountain with the RV on it head to the north east side of the rock.

Then slide down the rock face. You should land on an area which has golden grass and a cactus.

Right next to the cactus is the Battle Star you’re looking for to complete the Fortnite search between an oasis, rock archway and dinosaurs challenge.
