This week is the start of the Fortnite week seven challenges for season eight. This fresh set of challenges revolves around that same pirate theme that is at the heart of Battle Royale season eight and is the first week in a while to dive into it since the buried treasure challenge a few weeks back. Unfortunately, though, that doesn’t mean the challenges are great for this week. They’re actually pretty lame. Fortnite week 7 challenges The season eight, week seven challenges are probably one of the worst sets of challenges this entire season. They’re all pretty lame challenges that we have seen a million times before. Even the best pirate-themed challenge this week is just a slight rework of a challenge we already did at the very beginning of the season. As always, there are a total of seven new challenges for players to take on this week. Of those challenges, three of them are available to all players regardless of owning the season pass or not. However, the four other ones are only for players who own the Battle Pass for this season, which you might have gotten for free if you did the overtime challenges last season. If you want to know what all seven challenges are, check out our handy dandy screenshot above. Fortnite week 7 challenges: Visit 3 pirate camps As for the big challenge this week, it’s a simple one that might look familiar to diligent season eight Battle Royale players. The task is to find and visit three different pirate camps on the map but the catch is that you must visit all three of them within the same exact match. This makes this otherwise simple challenge a much more difficult one. Luckily, we have all the locations of the pirate camps on the map as well as some important tips for completing this challenge. Fortnite week 7 challenges tips First and foremost, you will absolutely need to do this challenge in Team Rumble or one of the big team modes. This is because it gives you ample amount of time to find all three before the storm completely closes in. In addition, there are respawns so if you are killed by an enemy while you are doing the challenge, you won’t lose all progress. Another reason why you should do it in Team Rumble is that the teams are much larger than usual but there are still fewer players in total and fewer enemies to worry about than in other modes. You will also want to find a vehicle like the new Baller so that you can quickly zip around the map and reach all three pirate camps in time before it’s too late. If you can’t find a vehicle, be sure to stock up on building resources along the way so you can build yourself a ramp, jump, and deploy your parachute to travel more quickly across the map. Alternatively, you can also make use of the volcano vents, like the one seen above, to boost you quickly into the air. Those vents were the only reason we were able to visit the third location before the circle closed in completely. Last but not least, make sure to turn on Party Assist mode in the challenges tab of the main menu so your teammates can help you do this challenge, too. Fortnite pirate camps: Lazy Lagoon Let’s go over the three pirate camps that we recommend you visit for this season eight, week seven challenge. These three locations are closest together so it’s not as hard to visit them in a single match of Team Rumble. The first location up is near Lazy Lagoon. If your battle bus gives you the chance to land here first, we highly recommend you do so. This is because there are some Baller vehicles you can find at the fort or in an area nearby that you can use to get to the other locations. However, it is a popular spot so you might not make it to the vehicles before your teammates do, which was the case for us. The exact location of this particular pirate camp can be found just to the west and slightly northwest of Lazy Lagoon. It is northwest of the huge pirate ship and the little town in Lazy Lagoon. Its location on the grid map is right on the border of the E2 and F2 squares. Head here and get close enough to the camp so that you see a notification pop up in the top left corner of your screen, letting you know that you’ve reached the pirate camp. Now, grab a Baller if there are any left and start heading southeast. Fortnite pirate camps: Volcano For the second pirate camp, head directly southeast from Lazy Lagoon. This pirate camp is located right near the base of the unnamed volcano location. It is a bit of a walk, which is why building a ramp or using a vehicle will do you a lot of good here. You will need to go past the town in Lazy Lagoon all the way to the west side of the volcano. The exact location of this volcano pirate camp is just southwest of the main volcano itself. It is also north and west of the lava river that flows from the volcano. You can see this pirate camp’s little mark on the main map. If you’re looking at the grid map, it can be found on the border of the G4 and H4 squares. Once you arrive at this location, get close enough so that you can see the notification. Now, it’s time to head to the third and final pirate camp that we recommend you visit. Thankfully, the volcano pirate camp is on a steep cliffside you can easily jump off of and glide for a bit. Face southwest towards Dusty Divot and let’s head to the final location for this challenge. Fortnite pirate camps: Dusty Divot The third and final location we recommend you visit is the Dusty Divot pirate camp which is just southwest of the previous one. Its exact location is ever so slightly northwest of Dusty Divot itself and directly north of the big hill in the middle of the island. You can also see this pirate camp on the map as it is massive in size. If you’re looking at the grid map, you can find this camp right on the border of the E5 and F5 squares. Head here and get close enough so that you see the notification. All other Fortnite pirate camps If the battle bus happens to take you elsewhere, here are the locations of the four other pirate camps in Fortnite: Pleasant Park: Located slightly southwest of Pleasant Park and below the huge mountain near there. You can find it in the B4 square. Tilted Towers: Southwest of Tilted Towers and in the snowy biome. It can be found in the C6 square. Salty Springs/Fatal Fields: Southwest of Salty Springs and northeast of Fatal Fields. It’s right on top of the huge hill here that you can’t miss. Paradise Palms: Northwest of Paradise Palms in the desert. It’s located right on the border of the desert and grassy areas in the H7 square on the map. Fortnite week 7 challenge reward Your reward for completing this season eight, week seven challenge is 10 whopping Battle Stars. That’s enough to guarantee an entire tier level up so don’t miss out on this reward. Editors' Recommendations<doc-sep>Update: It's your last chance to complete the Buccaneer's Bounty challenges in Fortnite, as the limited-time event is scheduled to end today, April 15. Each task you complete will earn you a special pirate-themed reward, and if you clear all four of them before the event ends, you'll receive an Epic-tier emote. You can see the full list of challenges and rewards below. The original story follows. Fortnite's 8.30 update is now live across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Not only did the latest patch introduce Reboot Vans to the battle royale game, it also marked the start of a new limited-time event called Buccaneer's Bounty, which features its own unique set of challenges and rewards. However, your time to complete these challenges is running out. Buccaneer's Bounty runs until April 15. Each day of the event, Epic is featuring a different limited-time mode, and there will be a new challenge to complete and cosmetic reward to unlock. If you manage to complete all four of the Buccaneer's Bounty challenges before the event ends, you'll also earn a special reward: an Epic-tier emote. The first Buccaneer's Bounty challenge is fairly straightforward: visit a Pirate Camp in different matches. You'll need to travel to 10 of these camps to complete the mission. Fortunately, the Pirate Camps are always located in the same spots, so with a little persistence you should be able to complete this challenge without too much difficulty. Be sure to check out our Pirate Camp location guide if you need help finding them. The second challenge is likewise self-explanatory: search one Buried Treasure. Once that's completed, you'll unlock a special Pirate Parrot spray. For the third challenge, all you need to do is place in the top 10 in Squads and you'll earn an uncommon banner. Last but not least, you'll need to fire yourself out of five Pirate Cannons in different matches to earn 1,000 XP. You can see all of the Buccaneer's Bounty challenges so far below. Fortnite Buccaneer's Bounty Challenges Visit a Pirate Camp in different matches (10) -- Plunder glider Search Buried Treasure (1) -- Pirate Parrot spray Place Top 10 in Squads with a friend -- Banner Shoot yourself out of a Pirate Cannon in different matches (5) -- 1,000 XP In addition to the Buccaneer's Bounty challenges, Week 7's challenges are also now live. This week's tasks run the gamut from visiting three Pirate Camps in a single match to eliminating opponents in named locations and searching chests at Loot Lake or Snobby Shores. Once those are completed, you'll be another step closer to unlocking the Legendary Ruin skin in Week 8.<doc-sep>
Season 8 of Fortnite: Battle Royale brought with it many new things, including changes to the map--among them, the introduction of pirate camps. Just after these were utilized once again for a special, limited-time Buccaneer's Bounty event challenge, Week 7 challenges have come online and again want you to go to a pirate camp. Here's what you need to know and where to go. For the Week 7 challenge, you have to head to three pirate camps in one match. That's not terribly difficult, although given how much traffic they're seeing, you still will need to be careful to ensure you aren't killed before reaching three of them. The first of the four Buccaneer's Bounty challenges is pretty simple: it asks you to visit a pirate cap in different matches 10 times. That means you'll need to play at least 10 matches in order to get it done, but what you're being asked is fairly simple--if you know where the pirate camps are located. Below, you'll find their locations and a map along with some tips regarding the existing challenges that involve the pirate camps. If you haven't already done them, this is an ideal time to double- or triple-dip and knock them all out at the same time. Additional Buccaneer's Bounty challenges will open up over the next few days. For a Week 5 challenge, you'll need to secure three eliminations while inside a pirate camp. This is fairly simple, but your best bet is to hurry to a pirate camp as quickly as possible. Doing so will hopefully allow you to find a weapon before anyone else, giving you the upper hand. You'll only need three kills total, and thankfully, these don't need to be racked up in the same match. To help you out, we've put together a quick guide that will direct you to exactly where these camps are located. Simply use the map below to head to the marked locations. You'll also be able to complete a Week 1 challenge if you haven't already done it; that involves visiting each pirate camp, which might temporarily be a touch more difficult thanks to the newer challenges ensuring you're going to run into kill-hungry players. Fortnite Pirate Camp Locations Northwest of Lazy Lagoon Just south of the volcano Northwest of Paradise palms South of Salty Springs West of Dusty Divot Southwest of Tilted Towers West of Pleasant Park One thing to be aware of with challenges starting in Season 8 is that you can now complete them with friends. Using the Party Assist feature, you can select a challenge so that you and your squadmates contribute progress toward it together. However, this doesn't work in larger team modes, nor does it allow you to work together with strangers who fill your squad. Still, it is a way to speed up the process and hopefully earn rewards more quickly and painlessly. As noted above, Fortnite is now home to an Apex Legends-like respawn system. Deceased teammates in most modes will now drop an item that allows them to be revived at a Reboot Van. While it's very similar to Apex, one key difference is that the revived player is not unarmed when they come back to life, though they don't keep their existing gear and building materials, either.
