Fortnite season 5 week 2 challenge guide: How to destroy dog houses

The fourth and final stage of the Doggo challenges in Fortnite season 5 week 2 is actually the easiest of the bunch. For the final stage, you’re required to destroy three dog houses, though, as you might expect, the challenge’s description doesn’t tell you how or where to find them.

Luckily, we’ve got all the details on how to initiate this challenge, where to find the dog houses, and how to destroy them. Remember, during season 5, the challenges are set up in stages, meaning you have prerequisites to complete first. To unlock this particular challenge, you must complete the first three stages. You have to destroy mailboxes, plant the evidence at certain locations, and find clues — all of which we’ve covered in their own separate guides. Once you’ve done the first three, you can start the final Doggo challenge. Here’s how to destroy dog houses in Fortnite.

To be frank, the setup of this challenge is more difficult than the challenge itself. It’ll take you some time to complete the first stages, but once you do, you’ll be ready to destroy some dog houses. The dog houses you need to destroy are found in the northeastern portion of Pleasant Park — surrounding the (human) house in this location. There are around five or six in the area, but to complete the challenge, you only need to destroy three. Check the image above for the location of the house.

As you land, take note of other opponents around you. Since this is a new challenge, the area will likely be heavily populated with players who are also looking to destroy dog houses. If you see a ton of players landing in the same location, you can still try your luck, but be aware that you’ll likely get taken out if you don’t pick up a weapon. In the video above, you can see the locations of five dog houses in the area. To destroy the dog houses, simply smack them with your pickaxe. A couple of slashes will do the trick.

As with most challenges, you don’t actually need to destroy all three in the same match. So if you do get taken out before you’ve completed the challenge, you can rest easy, as your progress carries over from match to match. After you’ve destroyed your third dog house, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP. And with that, you’ll be all finished with the Doggo challenges for this week. For the most part, they aren’t too difficult — it’s just a matter of knowing where to go.

Fortnite is cutting down on item FOMO with new store change
The TMNT Fortnite skins. We have all four turtles in fighting poses in front of a purple background.

Fortnite practically runs on FOMO (fear of missing out). if you don't get the item you want in a battle pass, you'll most likely never get the chance again. So if you wanted to run around as Goku and missed when the excellent skin was available? Tough luck.

But that policy is changing soon. Developer Epic Games announced in a blog post that items could be made available in the Shop 18 months after their respective battle passes expired at the least. That includes alt styles, which might also come to the Shop, along with licensed outfits you may have missed out on. This also applies to items that may have been unlocked after a battle pass launch.

All Medallion locations in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3

A new season of Fortnite means a new cast of bosses with unique items to obtain. This season, your reward for besting the new Mad Max-inspired bosses is Medallions. These items, which first appeared in Season 1, grant your character some of the best buffs in the game. Unlike previous seasons, this time there are only three new bosses, and thus three Medallions to find and equip during a match. The only way to get them is to locate the bosses and manage to take them down. We can't help you in the fight itself, but can at least show you where to go and what each Medallion does.
All Medallion locations

The three bosses this season are Ringmaster Scarr, The Machinist, and Megalo Don. Each one appears in a different POI on the map and drops a unique Medallion.
Ringmaster Scarr
Scarr is found in the Nitrodome near the center of the map toward the south. She drops the Ringmaster's Medallion, which grants you unlimited ammo and a minor damage boost.
The Mechanist
Down near the south coast and slightly east is the Redline Rig POI, which is The Mechanist's lair. His Medallion will allow your shield to regenerate over time.
Megalo Don
The big bad of the season, and the most difficult boss of the trio, is Megalo Don. You can find him in the Brutal Beachhed POI, which is the giant ship beached far to the south and west of Redline Rig. If you manage to take this boss down you can get his Medallion, which gives your character, and by extension your vehicle, infinite Nitro.

All vehicle mods in Fortnite and how to use them
Madmax characters in Fortnite.

Vehicles have gotten a major upgrade in Fortnite with Chapter 5, Season 3. Instead of simply being a great way to get around the map faster, and occasionally run over an unlucky opponent, you can now add mods to your cars to turn them into deadly weapons. Since this season's entire theme is centered around vehicular combat, you will be left in the dust if you don't learn how to fully take advantage of all the new ways to kit out your ride. Thankfully, modifying your vehicle is much easier in Fortnite than in real life, so let us give you the rundown on all the vehicle mods and how they work.
All vehicle mods and how they work
Modding a vehicle in Fortnite is so simple you may even do it by accident the first time around. While you're driving around the map, keep your eyes peeled for the vehicle mod crates lying around. These will have some text above them telling you which mod they are. Once you spot one, simply run it over to install that mod on your current car. You can also pick them up on foot and throw them at a vehicle to equip them that way.

Each vehicle can only have one mod per slot, and not all vehicles have the same number of slots. The SUV, for example, can equip any mod, but a dirt bike obviously can't use one that uses the roof slot. Here are all the mods currently in Fortnite.
