Fortnite challenge guide: Destroy alien trees

By

The latest set of Fortnite challenges is live and ready to go, this time for season 7, week 6. For this week’s list, you’ll be sent all around the map, with a slightly more complicated set of objectives than you might be used to. One specific challenge is for destroying alien trees, which you might not be familiar with, even if you’ve played through this season thus far.

Luckily, we’ve got everything you need to know about completing this challenge as easily as possible. Here’s how to destroy alien trees in Fortnite.

Thankfully, this is one of the more straightforward challenges of the week and can be finished in less than a minute (as long as you aren’t horribly unlucky). The easiest way to find alien trees is to visit Holly Hatchery, which is on the west side of the map.

All throughout this area are low-gravity sections that comprise large purple prisms. If you step foot inside, you’ll be able to jump a lot higher than normal, thanks to the low gravity. But along with the funny creatures and ability to jump higher than usual are also weird-looking trees.

They resemble palm trees, but are neon blue and purple. There are tons of them scattered around the area, so you can’t really miss them. These are the trees you’re looking for and, for the purposes of the challenge, you need to destroy five of them. Your pickaxe will do the trick, but do be cautious, as there are NPCs and possibly other enemy players who might roam the area nearby. That’s why we advise you to visit one of the houses, get stocked up on ammo, weapons, and gear, and then go for the trees, because you don’t want to get taken out before you can destroy all five.

If you do get eliminated before you manage to destroy all five trees, it’s not the biggest deal since your progress carries over from match to match. Simply boot up a new game to pick up where you left off. But ideally, you should aim to get it all finished in one match to save time. This challenge isn’t particularly tough, but it’s possible to get unlucky by running into enemies, so we advise attempting this one with a team. Bring your teammates with you to the location and have them watch your back as you chop down the trees (make sure you aim for the weak points to get them down faster).

After you’ve destroyed five of them, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 30,000 XP for your troubles.

Unicorn Overlord romance guide: all characters you can marry
unicorn overlord review ps5 cover

For whatever reason, romance and marriage have become one of the most essential parts of tactics games such as Unicorn Overlord. Just like combat, however, each game handles the relationship system a little bit differently. It might seem straightforward here, but there is an extra step or two needed to fully commit and marry one of your companions. Aside from just building a strong bond with your favorite character, there are a lot of benefits to improving your relationships. Here's a full tactical rundown of how romance works here so you can form an everlasting bond.
How romance works

The core of how romance works in Unicorn Overlord is all about Rapport. This represents your relationship with each character, can be built in a number of ways, and is the first and biggest step toward marriage. The simplest, but least efficient, way to build up your relationships is to fight in the same unit as the character you're interested in. Win or lose, you will boost your Rapport at the end of each encounter.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 5, Season 2)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're an expert player, your likelihood of coming out on top is greatly diminished if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be at a barren location with no loot or a hot drop that could lead to a swift death.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, there's no shortage of fantastic landing spots, but which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for veterans, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list of the best places to land in Fortnite, it's important to be aware of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any place with decent loot might serve you well, but there's more to consider than that. Does a spot have a consistent chest/loot spawn? Are there guaranteed materials? Is it close to other places of interest (POI)s? Is it out of the way? Of course, loot is the most important aspect, but it does you no good to have a stacked loadout if you're stuck in the storm. These recommended landing spots all have some degree of consistency and fantastic loot. they also typically have some quirk that makes them effective depending on your playstyle.

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.
