Season 3, week 9 quest guide

Bounce on three separate Crash Pads without landing (1)

There are two ways to complete this one. The easiest way is to visit the islands to the east of Sanctuary, where you’ll find four Crash Pads scattered throughout. Make sure to align yourself with the next Pad at the peak of your jump so you have the entire length of the fall to adjust your positioning. The other way to finish this challenge is to utilize Crash Pad items, which can be collected from chests or as floor loot. Throw one down, bounce on it, and then at the peak of the jump, adjust yourself ahead, then place another one before you hit the ground. Do this a total of three times and you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge.

Collect seeds from Reality Seed Pods before they stop bouncing (3)

There are lots of different places that contain Reality Seed Pods such as Reality Falls or even a newer spot to the east of Rave Cave shown on the map above. After you destroy the Pod, the Seeds will all fly up into the air before hitting the ground. Once they touch the ground, they’ll bounce a few times. You need to collect all three before they stop bouncing, which sounds a lot harder than it is. Since each Seed goes into the air before hitting the ground, you should have plenty of time to collect them all before the final one stops bouncing. Just be sure to take note of where they all are as they fly up above.

Deal damage to opponents while riding a wolf or boar (500)

Wolves and boars are found all around the map, such as in the section to the east of Shuffled Shrines. First, press the Jump button to get on the animal’s back, and once you do, ride it around until you see an enemy player. It helps if you use a long-range automatic weapon like an assault rifle so you can deal damage from afar. You need to deal 500 damage, which means it’ll take multiple separate enemies to finish this one. Thankfully, it’s cumulative, meaning you can earn progress across multiple matches.

Gain shields while emoting (1)

For this challenge, you’ll need a Shield Keg, which can be placed on the ground, spraying shields onto nearby players. Because of this, you’re able to use an Emote as the Keg sprays shields onto you.

Hold a Charge SMG at max charge for three seconds, then damage an opponent (1)

The Charge SMG is a newer weapon that players have gravitated toward thanks to its power. You can find it in chests or as floor loot, so once you do, be on the lookout for other enemy players or creatures like wolves. When you see them, hold down the Shoot button, which will charge the weapon. A little meter will show up, and once it’s full, fire away at the enemy. As long as it connects, you’ll earn credit for this one.

Open chests at Tilted Towers in a single match (3)

Ah, the old classic “open chests at X location” challenge. Thankfully, Tilted Towers is chock-full of chests, so land there and do your best to explore and open chests as quickly as possible since this area is often busy. Make sure you turn on Visualize Sound Effects to make it easier to find chests (and enemies).

Plant or summon a reality sapling 30 or more meters away from yourself (1)

This quest seems a lot harder than it is. After you get your hands on a Reality Sappling, go to the top of a building or a mountain and simply throw the item from the top. As long as you’re at least 30 meters away, you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge.

Fortnite’s overhauled battle pass system will make your life easier
The Device event in Fortnite Chapter 2

Fortnite players will see a big change to how they gain experience starting in December. Epic Games announced Monday that it's simplifying progress so that players can earn experience toward all three battle passes at once.

This battle pass for the battle royale portion already works like this: You can earn experience to progress through the battle pass track by playing in any Fortnite section. However, this wasn't the case with the Festival and Lego passes for Fortnite Festival and Lego Fortnite, respectively. That's changing after the current seasons and passes end later this year.

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.
