Fortnite Season 2 Week 1 Challenges: IO Airships, Siege Cannons, And More

Fortnite Season 2 has arrived. And while that means a whole heck of a lot of new stuff is now in the game, it also means reliable weekly challenges are here to grant you a bundle of XP in a hurry. The debut seasonal quests include using new features like tactical sprinting, spending good old-fashioned gold bars, and opening chests on IO airships. Here we’ll guide you through how to complete all of the Week 1 Fortnite challenges.

  • Collect a Drum Shotgun and a Combat SMG in a single match (2) – 20,000 XP
  • Mantle onto a ledge within three seconds of sprinting (3) – 20,000 XP
  • Use a Repair Torch to fix a vehicle (200) – 20,000 XP
  • Search chests on IO airships (3) – 20,000 XP
