Challenges in Fortnite continue to roll weekly, and they provide you with the fastest way to get yourself a whole bunch of cool new skins and rewards. Season 8 introduces some major changes to the game--including big overhauls to the map--but the way challenges work is not massively different. As is the case almost every week, the latest adjustments come from the new patch, content update 8.51, which adds the new Shadow Bomb.
Week 10 challenges are now available, and whereas the previous weeks had been exceedingly straightforward, this batch actually includes a few you might need a guide for. That includes using cannons to launch yourself through Flaming Hoops and also searching for treasure.
Weekly challenges are intricately linked to the Battle Pass and the cosmetics that become available through that. (Daily challenges are also available outside of the Battle Pass.) Completing challenges awards a player with Battle Stars, which in turn level up the pass and push it through higher tiers. As it ascends through the tiers, more cosmetic unlocks become available to a player. When you complete all of the challenges from a given week, you'll complete a corresponding Discovery challenge, similar to the Snowfall challenges from the previous season. Discovery challenges offers additional rewards and, after doing enough, a special skin that will be revealed later in the season.
Season 8 has a brand-new Battle Pass, which is available for 950 V-Bucks (1,000 V-Bucks are available for roughly $10/£10 in the in-game store). The Battle Pass has over 100 tiers, which means there's over 100 cosmetics to be unlocked. You can see of them in our Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass unlocks gallery. You'll get two of the coolest skins--Blackheart and Hybrid--for simply purchasing the Battle Pass. These two particular skins evolve as you accrue experience and level them up. You can see all the new Fortnite Season 8 skins here.
There is one significant change of note regarding challenges with the Season 8 patch. Aside from the challenges screen getting a bit of a makeover, Epic has introduced something called Party Assist. This feature allows you and friends in your party to collaboratively work toward making progress on a challenge together. It doesn't let you share progress with random players it adds to your squad, and it doesn't work at all in larger team modes like Team Rumble, but it should nonetheless making it easier to complete challenges.
Every week, Epic Games will refresh the challenges, so you'll need to keep coming back to get the necessary Battle Stars needed to upgrade the pass and unlock items. We'll be regularly updating this article with the challenges as they become available. Additionally, any guides that we create to help players complete the challenges will be found here, so think of this article as your Fortnite Season 8 challenges super-guide.

We're approaching the end of Season 5 in Fortnite, but before this season wraps up, players still have a few more weeks of challenges to complete. Week 7's tasks are now available for all platforms--PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile--and feature the typical assortment of free and Battle Pass-exclusive challenges, but one of this week's objectives is a little different from the usual fare.
Among the new Battle Pass challenges is one that has players searching treasure chests. This sounds straightforward enough, but this particular task works a little differently than previous challenges of this nature. Rather than being able to open any chests around the island, this challenge is broken up into multiple steps that have you traveling to a specific area of the map and opening a chest there. Each of these steps rewards you with one Battle Star, so you'll receive a total of five if all of the steps have been completed.
Fortunately, aside from this little wrinkle, completing the challenge is fairly easy, as you can open any chest in the designated location to unlock the next step in the process. The first step takes you to Pleasant Park, and once that has been completed, you'll be tasked with opening a chest in Retail Row, then one in Lucky Landing, then Greasy Grove, and finally Paradise Palms, one of the new areas introduced at the start of Season 5.
If you need a visual guide on how to complete this challenge, we've put together the video at the top of this story to walk you through the entire five-step process. You can also take a look at the map and screenshots above to see where the treasure chests can be found.
Besides that, Week 7's trickiest challenge is to follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot, which will take you to a cluster of trees just past the stone head northwest of the area. The rest of the challenges are all much more straightforward, although some, like dealing damage to opponents' structures with Remote Explosives and scoring three eliminations with an SMG, may take a bit of persistence to complete. Finish all of this week's objectives and you'll also clear another Road Trip challenge.
Only a few more weeks remain in Season 5, and it appears developer Epic is already teasing what's in store for next season with another strange phenomena in the game. Following the recent 5.30 update, lightning bolts can be seen striking the ground as you play. Just what this portends remains to be seen, but it seems the forthcoming Season 6 will shake Fortnite up in another big way when it eventually arrives.
In the meantime, you still have until the end of the season to level your Battle Pass up and unlock the Fortnite Season 5 rewards. If you need help completing any of the challenges, be sure to consult our complete Season 5 challenge roundup.
