Season 6, week 7 challenge list

As usual, we advise taking a look at the challenge list prior to jumping in and playing. It’s good to have an idea of what you need to do before you hop into a match. The full list of new challenges is as follows:

  • Makeshift weapon elimination (1)
  • Primal weapon elimination (1)
  • Mechanical weapon elimination (1)
  • Mark weapons of different rarity (1)
  • Collect meat or peppers (5)
  • Consume foraged items (3)
  • Hunt raptors (2)

The challenges for this week are mostly self-explanatory, with no hidden collectible requirements or necessity to visit unnamed areas on the map. If you’re new to the game, you might stumble with the weapon eliminations, but we’ll have more on completing those challenges below. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the game’s crafting mechanics, which we have more information on in our guide here.

Aside from that, you should be consuming foraged items, marking weapons, and fending off raptors naturally as you play. Nonetheless, here are some guides for this week’s harder challenges.

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week
Key art for Fortnite's new first person shooter mode Ballistic.

Fortnite Ballistic, the long-awaited first-person mode for Epic Games' hit battle royale shooter Fortnite, will finally come to the game on December 11.

Epic Games first teased a first-person Fortnite mode in March, but now we have a clearer idea of how it will play. Ballistic is a round-based 5v5 mode with no respawns, similar to competitive shooters like Valorant or Spectre Divide. A team of attackers fights to plant and detonate a Rift Point Device in certain spots on the map, while defenders fight to eliminate the other team before they can do the same. While attackers and defenders will swap their roles after six rounds, Ballistic matches are a best-of-seven affair across both ranked and unranked play.
