Dance inside a holographic Tomato head challenge tips

As we mentioned, this challenge has a three stages. This means you won’t be able to see the next stage of the challenge until you finish the first stage and leave that specific match. You also won’t be able to complete the following stage if you haven’t completed the previous one either.

We recommend you complete this challenge in Fortnite’s Team Rumble mode as you’ll have more time to do it, more teammates to help you out, fewer enemies to worry about, and respawns. Since this is a multi-stage challenge, there is only one thing you need to do in each match and it will take you at least three matches to complete.

This is a good thing, though, since all you need to do is make sure you land near the area where the tomato and other big heads are located. If you want an extra boost to easily finish this challenge, we recommend turning on the Party Assist mode that allows you and your teammates to complete the challenge together.

When you first jump into a new match, head for the middle of Mega Mall. Mega Mall, for those who don’t know, is one of the new named locations that was added with the launch of season nine after the volcano wiped out Retail Row. It’s a massive mall full of various shopping areas including a giant holographic tomato head.

Now, the actual holographic tomato head is located at the top of Mega Mall, so you will need to either climb the stairs to the roof area or simply build yourself a ramp up there. When you get to the top, you will want to look for the giant holographic tomato head on the eastern edge of the rooftop as seen in our screenshot above.

Keep in mind is that you must dance inside of the holographic tomato head in order for the first part of this challenge to complete. Dancing in front of it or next to it will not complete the challenge. Unfortunately, it is floating in the air above the rest of the mall, so you will need to build yourself a ramp up to it so that you can dance inside of it. Use your favorite dance emote and you will know you’ve done it correctly when you get a notification in the top left corner.

Once you complete the first part of this challenge, all you need to do is leave the match early or finish it. Either way, when you leave, you will get a notification for the second stage of the challenge. This second stage is similar to the first, but this time we need to dance inside a holographic Durr Burger head.

Head for Neo Tilted, another area that was destroyed and rebuilt at the beginning of season nine. The exact location of the Durr Burger head is on the southern end of Neo Tilted. You’ll have to look high up for it, as it’s at the very top of one of the highest buildings in the city.

You will need to build yourself a way up there or climb the building to the top. Once there, dance and you should get the notification again in the top left corner of your screen.

After leaving the second match, you will get the notification for the third and final stage of this season nine, week four challenge. The final part of this challenge tasks you with dancing on top of the giant dumpling head. To do this, you will need to enter a third and final match, and this time, land in or near Lucky Landing.

On the northwestern end of town, there is a building with a giant smirking dumpling on it. What makes it different from the previous two is that it’s a solid object and not a hologram. You will need to either land on top of it or build yourself up to the top of it and dance there. Doing this will notify you that you’ve completed this challenge.

Fortnite OG, a limited-time mode that brought back the original island from all the way back in Season 1, is coming back to the game -- for good this time.

Epic Games announced in a post on X that Fortnite OG is "combing BACK and is here to stay" starting December 6. That means players can experience the original map and loot starting with Chapter 1, Season 1 from all the way back in 2017, when Fortnite was less of the pop culture metaverse juggernaut it is today.

Every new Fortnite season is a massive event for players.

New skins, abilities, quests, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of fresh content.

If a particular season doesn't quite do it for you, or if you've already unlocked all the cosmetics in your Battle Pass and are eagerly awaiting the beginning of the next one, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let's dive into when you can expect the next Fortnite season to begin.
When does the next Fortnite season start?
We are currently in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 which is fast approaching its end. Typically, the next season in Fortnite's chronology would be a Season 5, but that's not the case.

Fortnite is cutting down on item FOMO with new store change
The TMNT Fortnite skins. We have all four turtles in fighting poses in front of a purple background.

Fortnite practically runs on FOMO (fear of missing out). if you don't get the item you want in a battle pass, you'll most likely never get the chance again. So if you wanted to run around as Goku and missed when the excellent skin was available? Tough luck.

But that policy is changing soon. Developer Epic Games announced in a blog post that items could be made available in the Shop 18 months after their respective battle passes expired at the least. That includes alt styles, which might also come to the Shop, along with licensed outfits you may have missed out on. This also applies to items that may have been unlocked after a battle pass launch.
