How to complete Fortnite Quests in Chapter 6 Season 4
We've got the lowdown on beating all of the Fortnite Quests in the Shock 'N Awesome season

- Fortnite Blitz Founders Quests
- Fortnite Kickstart Quests
- Fortnite Story Quests
- Fortnite Expertise Quests
- Fortnite Weekly Quests
- Fortnite Daily Quests
- Fortnite Milestones Quests
- Fortnite Ranked Quests
- Fortnite Blitz Royale Kickstart Quests
- Fortnite OG Season 5 Greatest Hits Quests
- Fortnite OG Weekly Quests
- Fortnite Reload: Squid Grounds Quests
The Fortnite quests have had their slate wiped clean once again for the new season, which means we have a fresh supply of assignments for Shock 'N Awesome that mainly center around fighting off the bug invasion. As well as getting an updated set of Kickstart quests to introduce the new concepts in Season 4, there has also been a significant overhaul made to the Expertise quests, which now offer daily challenges of varying difficulties for points that can be used to unlock sales at vending machines.
With such a variety of tasks available now it can be difficult to keep on top of everything, so don't forget that you can track up to 25 quests by tagging them through the menu. In addition to the tasks linked to the main battle royale, there are certain quests that are exclusive to Fortnite OG and Fortnite Reload, so check out all of the modes to maximize the XP available.
As always, there's plenty more going on outside of the battle royale as well, so make sure you check out the separate experiences of Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival to see what else is available. Don't overlook these assignments, as they provide a significant amount of additional XP during Fortnite Season 4 of Chapter 6 to speed up progress through the Battle Pass.
The Launch Week quests involve searching 15 chests at The Hive or Ranger's Ruin, so have a good look around those new POIs. Watch out for Hive Stashes while you're there, as you'll need to collect ten items from them, and if you can clear the swarm then take down the Queen that emerges then you'll have the opportunity to eliminate or revive two players while holding a Queen's medallion. Try to use different rides while exploring the fresh additions to the island so you can rack up travelling 1,000m distance in vehicles, and great shotguns or assault rifles so you can deal 1,000 damage to players with them.
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 specific challenges. 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.
