The Fortnite Season 8 Week 2 challenges have leaked

This coming week’s Fortnite challenges look to have leaked like water through the hull of a rotten pirate ship. The launch of season 8 has seen a number of nautical-themed and volcanic changes to Fortnite, but one thing remains constant – seven weekly challenges that earn eager players extra Battle Pass tiers. Here’s what’s coming from Season 8 week 2.

Although we’ve had plenty of leaks come true for Fortnite challenges in the past, these are still unconfirmed, and might be subject to change come Thursday. The information comes from dataminers posting on the FortniteLeaks subreddit and Discord, who have been right before.

Fortnite Season 8 Week 2 challenges

Deal damage to falling supply drops
This challenge is easier to complete these days, since Supply Drop locations now show up on the map as they’re falling. It’s easier to last until Supply Drops appear late in the game in a lot of the LTM modes, so if you’re struggling, try there.
Deal damage to opponents with a Pirate Cannon
This challenge might take a few tries, since the cannonballs are slow and unwieldy. Your best bet is to land at one of the pirate cannon locations at the Pirate Camps around the map. The one to the south of the Volcano is busy at the moment because it’s a new area.
Eliminations in Salty Springs or Haunted Hills
Try landing at these areas when the Battle Bus flies closely past them at the start of the match. That way you’re more likely to run into people dropping in there.
Search a chest in different named locations in a single match
The exact locations of this aren’t confirmed at the moment, so check back once the challenge drops.
Gain health from Apples and Med Kits
Apples are easily found at Lonely Lodge, which is also a good place to find Med Kits from chests and floor spawns. You’ll have to lose some health first to be able to gain some from the healing items, so try jumping off somewhere high – like the Lonely Lodge tower – before you do.
Land at: The Block, Dusty Divot, Polar Peak, Snobby Shores, Paradise Palms
This is straightforward to do over five matches, and can be completed across Solo, Duos, Squads, and LTMs.
Visit the furthest North, South, East, and West points of the island
We’ll put a full guide of where you need to head for this one, which will be easiest to do at the start of four different matches.
