Fortnite season 5 week 13 challenges and how to complete them

Week 13 of Fortnite’s season 5 is underway, which means you’ll have a new list of challenges to get through. Fortunately, this week’s list isn’t too terribly difficult — with a healthy mixture of combat-related objectives, along with ones that send you to specific locations to collect items, and so on. As you might expect, the game doesn’t specifically tell you where some of these hidden locations are, which is where we come in.

In this guide, we’ll highlight each and every one of the new week 13 challenges, and we’ll walk you through completing some of the trickier ones. Here are Fortnite’s season 5, week 13 challenges and how to complete them.

It’s always a good idea to at least take a look at the next set of challenges for the week so you’ve got a mental note of what you need to do. You can view the challenges from the main menu, or by simply referencing our list below.

  • Scan a server at a Surface Hub (0/1)
  • Throw fruit at Hunter’s Haven (0/3)
  • Damage opponents at Hunter’s Haven, The Orchard, and Retail Row (0/300)
  • Pistol Damage (0/300)
  • Bathe in the Purple Pool at Steamy Stacks (0/1)
  • Enter the Zero Point (0/1)
  • Destroy Crystal Trees (0/5)

As you can see, they aren’t too bad this week. The ones we’ll be going through in more detail are the challenges that feature unmarked locations on the map. Challenges like dealing pistol damage or throwing fruit at various locations should be self-explanatory — while others, like scanning a server at a Surface Hub, aren’t as clear.

Here’s how to complete the tougher challenges during season 5, week 13.

One of the first challenges you’ll probably attempt is the one for scanning a server at a Surface Hub. The nice thing is that this one doesn’t have a prerequisite, so you can go for it right away. Click the link below for more information on finding servers at Surface Hubs.

For bathing in the Purple Pool at Steamy Stacks, you need to visit the westernmost pool in this location. You also need to complete stage one of Deadfire’s challenges before being able to attempt this quest. The guide below has more details on getting through this one.

When does the new Fortnite season start?

Every new Fortnite season is a massive event for players. While not quite on the scale of a new Chapter, seasons still bring about a plethora of changes to the ever-evolving Battle Royale island to keep players hooked to the game. New skins, abilities, quests, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of fresh content.

If a particular season doesn't quite do it for you, or if you've already unlocked all the cosmetics in your Battle Pass and are eagerly awaiting the beginning of the next one, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let's dive into when you can expect the next Fortnite season to begin.
When does the next Fortnite season start?
We are currently in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 which is fast approaching its end. Typically, the next season in Fortnite's chronology would be a Season 5, but that's not the case.

Fortnite’s overhauled battle pass system will make your life easier

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.

All outfits in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and how to unlock them

Somewhat like Peach in Princess Peach: Showtime!, Zelda has access to a ton of different outfits in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. While they won't drastically change how she plays like her Swordfighter form does, they do give her a fresh new style and occasionally a nice buff of some sort. When you combine these with accessories and smoothies, you can do some fairly deep build crafting in this game. These new outfits can't be picked up off the rack at Hyrule's local market, though. Zelda will need to work for most of them, and there are plenty you can easily miss if you don't go out of your way to find them. Here are all the outfits you can get in Echoes of Wisdom, how to unlock them, and what buffs they grant (if any).
Every outfit in Echoes of Wisdom
There are a total of 11 outfits to find and try on in Echoes of Wisdom. Some are given as part of the main story, but most are optional.
Disguise

This simple hooded outfit is unlocked automatically during the opening of the game. It has no added benefits to wearing it.
