While players are just now starting to dig into Fortnite’s Season 3 Week 6 challenges, which went live yesterday, they can already start planning for what the next week will bring. Indeed, details on the Week 7 challenges have surfaced, and these tasks will instruct fans to search chests, eliminate opponents, and much more.
To note, Fortnite’s Season 3 Week 7 challenges will not be available until Thursday, July 30, and what goes live on that date may deviate slightly from what has been leaked. This is something that occurred very recently with the Week 6 challenges, where a leaked challenge that focused on fueling a vehicle simply did not make it into the game, and it could certainly happen again this week. However, the Season 3 Week 7 challenges are likely to be very close to what is indicated in this list:
Fortnite Season 3 Week 7 Challenges
- Search Chests at Retail Row (7) - 35,000 XP Gain health or shields from SLURP at Slurpy Swamp (100) - 35,000 XP Collect Floating Rings at Weeping Woods (1) - 35,000 XP Find balls of yarn at Catty Corner (3) - 35,000 XP Collect Stone from Rapid’s Rest (300) - 35,000 XP Eliminate Players (5) - 35,000 XP Eliminate Players (50) - 80,000 XP Search Ammo Boxes at Pleasant Park (7) - 35,000 XP Eliminations at Sweaty Sands (3) - 35,000 XP
In general, the Season 3 Week 7 challenges in Fortnite are fairly straightforward, though the one that instructs players to collect stone from Rapid’s Rest may require a bit of explanation. That is because not every fan will be immediately familiar with the exact location of Rapid’s Rest in Fortnite, and for those players it can be said that they should look just east of Lazy Lake.
The “gain health or shields from SLURP at Slurpy Swamp” challenge is also a bit interesting, as that location is still partially submerged in water at the time of writing. As such, the existence of this challenge may suggest that Slurpy Swamp will have returned by next Thursday, and indeed the water level in Fortnite is set to lower once again next Monday, July 27.
The 50 eliminations challenge may also turn a few head, as that is certainly a fair number of kills. That said, it seems likely that this is a group-focused challenge, just like Week 6’s search 100 chests challenge, and the additional XP that it rewards may make the extra effort worthwhile for those players that are still working on this season’s Battle Pass.
Fortnite is available now Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.
