Fortnite week 3 challenge guide: Land at Rig, Hydro 16, Logjam Woodworks

The third week of Fortnite battle royale is here in chapter 2, season 2. With it comes the standard weekly challenges and the latest update for the Deadpool skin mission. Since Brutus had two weeks to host the weekly missions, it is now switching over in week 3 to TNTina, one of the other bosses you can fight on the island.

As you can see, the trials this week aren’t the best, compared with the excellent first two weeks this season, but there are some solid ones here, like landing at one of the new locations.

Week 3 landing challenge tips

One of the biggest challenges this week is to land at the Rig, Hydro 16, and Logjam Woodworks. Two of these existed in season 1, so you may already know them. Both Hydro 16 and the Woodworks are landmarks, which means they don’t show up on the map like the newly released Rig does.

The key to this challenge is that you must land at these locations rather than just visit them. So you will need to either do this at the start of the match after dropping out of the battle bus or use the unlimited parachute in the Team Rumble mode.

While you can get all three done in one match if you do Team Rumble, this isn’t required. It is possible to just land at each of them at the start of three different matches, and you’ll be good to go. To complete this, here are the locations of all three spots on the season 2 island.

Can you fix the Fortnite servers not responding error?

The last thing you want to see when loading up Fortnite for a match with your friends, especially when a big new update is dropping, is to be hit with an error. The worst of which might be the "Fortnite servers not responding" error due to how vague it is. Most people don't know what servers are, let alone what it means when they aren't responding, except that you can't play your game. The question then becomes if you have any power to solve this issue yourself or if you're forced to wait until Epic Games addresses it on its end.
Can you fix the servers not responding error in Fortnite?

The first thing to do when encountering this error in Fortnite is to go straight to the Epic Games Help website or X account (formerly Twitter). This will let you know if it is something on Epic Games' end that is the issue and also keep you updated on the status of when the servers are expected to be fixed. Servers can also be taken down for maintenance or in preparation for major updates, which will also be accounted for here. If this is the case, there's nothing to do but wait until they announce the servers are back up and running.

Fortnite continues to be one of the most popular games in the world, with a strong competitive scene, and like any competitive game, players want every possible advantage they can get.

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.
