Fortnite challenge guide: Collect doomsday preppers guide

By

Fortnite season 7, week 4 is underway, with a brand-new list of challenges for you to complete (and lots of XP to earn in the process). This new set of challenges is similar to last week’s — wherein almost all of them require you to visit specific, unmarked locations around the map. While these challenges aren’t necessarily hard, they can be tricky to get through if you don’t know where to go. One challenge in particular requires you to collect a doomsday preppers guide, as indicated by a blue book.

Since the game doesn’t specify where these are located, you might be stuck. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about this challenge. Here’s where to collect a doomsday prepper guide in Fortnite.

There are two books around the map, but for the purposes of this challenge, you only need to find one of them. Since both spots aren’t normally very busy, you shouldn’t have much trouble running in and grabbing the book, but if you’re stuck, we recommend coming with a friend so they can watch your back. The map above (thanks, Fortnite.gg) shows the location of the doomsday preppers guide in Steamy Stacks.

It’s in the building marked number 03, just across from the large circular smokestack on the east side. Head inside this building on the bottom floor, and you’ll find the blue doomsday preppers guide on the ground next to a set of stairs. It’s on the east side of this building.

Alternatively, you can collect a doomsday preppers guide at Hydro 16, which is the dam area to the east of Slurpy Swamp. Head inside the east side of the large building from the south, and you’ll see a set of stairs. To the left of the stairs is a small room containing the book. It’s on the left, behind a yellow chair and next to a cabinet.

Remember, you only need to find one of the two doomsday preppers guides to complete this challenge. We recommend visiting whichever spot is closest to you in relation to the Battle Bus, as neither will be very busy for you after you jump out. If you’re having trouble getting to one before being eliminated, we recommend attempting this in Team Rumble mode. That way, you can respawn if you’re taken out. We also advise attempting this in a squad-based mode so you’ve got some protection as you hunt for the books.

After you’ve found one, you’ll earn credit for finishing the challenge, along with 30,000 XP for your troubles.

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.
