Fortnite season 7, week 5 challenges and how to complete them

It’s a new week, which can only mean one thing: A new set of Fortnite challenges are live and ready for you to complete. For season 7, week 5, you’ll find a wide variety of challenges that send you around the map to find items, as well as inflicting damage with specific weapons, and more. This list is a lot more varied than challenges from recent weeks, and are — for the most part — much more fun to complete.

Specifically, Epic Games has lowered the number of collectible-style challenges in favor of a well-rounded list. In this guide, we’ll show you all of the new challenges, along with guides on getting through the more difficult ones. Here are the Fortnite season 7, week 5 challenges and how to complete them.
