The latest set of Fortnite challenges is live, and for season 5, week 7, you’ll likely have an easy time getting through most of them. One quest might pose a bit of a challenge, though, and it requires you to destroy 10 Slurp Barrels. Of course, they aren’t marked on your map, so you’ll have to know where to find them.

In this guide, we’ll show you the best spot for destroying Slurp Barrels and give you some info about a possible challenge progression bug that you might encounter. Here’s how to destroy Slurp Barrels in Fortnite.

Where to find Slurp Barrels

In order to complete this challenge, you must destroy 10 Slurp Barrels, which grant you health and shields upon breaking them. They are found around the map, but the most efficient way to find them is to visit Slurpy Swamp. If you head inside the main factory, you’ll find them scattered all over the place, so be sure to explore these areas thoroughly. In many cases, you’ll find more than one Slurp Barrel in a specific spot, meaning you can complete this challenge fairly quickly.

The safest area that includes Slurp Barrels is to the west of Slurpy Swamp, within a group of houses. The factory itself will likely be quite busy, so you’re better off visiting the houses to the west, where you’re less likely to run into other players. There are four main houses here, which contain multiple Slurp Barrels and gear, so loot up, and as you visit each house, make sure you slash the barrels with your harvesting tool.

During Fortnite season 5, week 7, it seems there’s a progression bug that is preventing players from completing challenges. In summary, you gain credit for the challenge in-game, but when you back out to the main menu to view your quests, it still might show that you haven’t completed it. Since certain challenges must be completed before others — like in the case for destroying 10 Slurp Barrels — you might not actually be able to start them until the bug gets patched.

In order to begin the challenge for destroying 10 Slurp Barrels, you must first complete the challenge for visiting three houses at Slurpy Swamp in one game. However, you might find that you can’t quite complete it yet, due to the bug. Epic Games put out a statement via Twitter acknowledging the bug and noting that it will be working on it. So, if you can’t start this challenge just yet, do not be alarmed.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite
Characters fishing in LEGO Fortnite.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth gift guide: best gifts for every character
Kiryu and Kasuga grasp hands in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Who wouldn't want to be friends with a guy like Ichiban? The guy is a bundle of optimistic joy and positivity. Sure, you'll likely get into more than a couple of brawls with him, but that only strengthens your bond, right? That's how it works in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, anyway. There are many ways you can increase Ichiban's bond level with his various party members, and even other people on the street you bump into, but one of the easiest (although expensive) ways is to give them the perfect gift. Instead of grinding out your bond level through battles or slow conversations, why not buy your way into your friend's heart? The only tricky part is knowing each character well enough to tell what gift they will appreciate most and where you can snag it.
Best gifts for each character

Each of the main party members in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has their own personality and style. You wouldn't get much love from Nanba by giving him some makeup or Adachi some flowers, after all. There's no wrong gift you can give technically since no matter what you give someone it will increase your Bond level, however, these objects raise it more than the others.
