How to complete Fortnite Quests in Season 3 of Chapter 5

The line up of Fortnite quests has received a significant expansion this week, with more Pirate Codes unlocked as part of the Cursed Sails Pirates of the Caribbean crossover event, another set of Story quests to further this season's plotline, plus an ongoing set of Summer Road Trip tasks to ultimately collect the Tesla Cybertruck as a reward. In addition to that, there's still more happening beyond the battle royale, so make sure you check out the separate experiences of Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival to see what else they have.

Don't overlook these assignments, 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 9 quests are mainly combat or survival related, so you'll need to eliminate five opponents with the Combat Shotgun and deal 1,000 damage to opponents using a weapon with an underbarrel mod, as well as outlasting 30 players while holding a Medallion and surviving 15 Storm Circles. You also have to emote at Brawler's Battleground and Nitrodrome, so make sure you do that when passing either named location.

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.
