Fortnite Week 7 Challenges have leaked – check them out early

They might not unlock fully until Thursday, but the Fortnite Week 7 challenges have leaked online early.

As per usual, there are seven challenges for you to complete this week. Completing four out of the seven will net you 5,000 bonus XP, which counts towards earning Battle Stars for your Battle Pass progress.

This info comes from frequent dataminers Fortnite Tracker, who uncover a lot of Fortnite stuff early.

Be aware though, sometimes the challenges change when they actually come out.

If you can complete all of the availble Week 7 challenges, you'll be one step closer to obtaining the Blockbuster skin as well. This is the first time that it'll be fully available to, since you have to get seven out of seven on seven full weeks of challenges.
Fortnite Week 7 challenges:

• Deal 250 damage with a pickaxe to opponents
  

This is equivalent to two and a half full eliminations without shields or one and a quarter with full shields. You don't have to get all of the damage in one game, so it'll be a good idea to swing your pickaxe at an enemy right at the start of the game, then if you get killed, just jump into another and start again. To complete the challenge, you'll have to connect with 25 pickaxe swings.

• Search 7 chests in Risky Reels
  

On the first week of the challenges being released this might be difficult due to the high volume of players descending on the spot, but isn't too tough if you try specifically to complete it.

There are quite a lot of possible chest spawns in Risky Reels. If you're lucky, you can find three spawn points on the northeastern edge of the central crater, with another on the southwestern corner. A safer bet though is that there are four potential spawn points in the house on northern edge of the area, with another two in the barn to the east and two more in the burger joint in the west. You can also find one behind the screen to the south.

• Consume 20 foraged items
  

This most likely means that you'll have to eat apples and mushrooms that you can find on the ground in wooded areas. You may also be able to collect Hop Rocks, because you “consume” them, but the word “foraged” lends itself better to food.

• Score a goal on 3 different pitches
  

Oh boy, this one's gonna be tough. We'll have a separate page up and ready with the locations of the soccer pitches when the challenge goes live, but the biggest barrier to completing this will be other people. Not only is there usually only one ball – and tons of people try to complete the challenge at once – but other players will be camping these locations HARD. In theory, it'll be quite simple, all you have to do is kick the ball in the centre of the pitch into one of the goals in three different places.

• Follow the treasure map found in… TBC (Hard)
  

This week, the challenge leak hasn't specified where the treasure map will be located or where you'll find the Battle Star. We'll have a guide up ASAP on the day though, so check back for more.

• 5 Assault Rifle eliminations (Hard)
  

These don't have to be collected in the same game, and assault rifles are quite common, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

• Eliminate 3 opponents in Shifty Shafts (Hard)
  

Around the time that the challenges drop, specified locations are awash with players trying to complete the same objective. If you turn up in Shifty Shafts during the first week the challenges are live, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding people to eliminate in Shifty Shafts. It's an area with good weapon drops anyway, so dropping straight in there and joining the melee should be a lot of fun.

All of the other Season 4 weekly challenges are still active, so you can still tackle the Week 6 challenges if you're stuck.

• Week 5 Challenges: Greasy Grove treasure map, dance with others, more
• Week 4 Challenges: Visit 3 different storm centers, search between a bench, ice cream truck and helicopter, more
• Week 3 Challenges: Search rubber duckies, Salty Springs treasure map, more
• Week 2 Challenges: Dance in front of film cameras, search between scarecrow, pink hotrod and big screen, more
• Week 1 Challenges: Search 8 F-O-R-T-N-I-T-E letters, Tomato Town treasure map, more
  

You can also take at look at all of our guides for the previous challenges above.
