Fortnite Week 3 Challenges COUNTDOWN: Clay shooting, Flush Factory treasure map

Fortnite Battle Royale fans are counting down to the release of the week 3 challenges.

Each week Epic Games releases three challenges for free and four challenges for 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.

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

Weekly challenges used to launch at 9am UK time every week. However, this changed during Season 5, when Epic pushed them back to 2pm.

The same is true of this week’s challenges, which according to the in-game menu, will go live at 2pm BST on July 26.

And just like previous weeks, it appears as if the challenges have leaked ahead of time.

The Week 3 challenges task players with dealing 500 damage to opponents in a single match.

Players must also use a launchpad once, search chests in Fatal Fields and eliminate opponents in Haunted Hills.

One of the harder challenges tasks players with following a treasure map found in Flush Factory. Express Online will have the solution for this challenge soon.

Another challenge involves shooting clay pigeons at different locations. Check back at 2pm on July 26 for the clay pigeon map locations.
