Fortnite Week 8 is here! As of Thursday, January 27 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM PT, seven new challenges and 175,000 XP are up for grabs. This week's list includes pizza parties, Klombo-aided gliding, and scoring an elimination at the most famous location on the map, among other things. Check out the full list of Fortnite Week 8 challenges below.
Talk to Haven, Shanta, or Galactico (1) - 25,000 XPDeal explosive damage (100) - 25,000 XPRestore shields by consuming Klomberries (40) - 25,000 XPDestroy structures by knocking down Timber Pines (10) - 25,000 XPGlide for 60 meters after launching from a Klombo’s blowhole - 25,000 XPDance for Llana at a Vending Machine for 5 seconds - 25,000 XPTake Pizza Slices from a Pizza Party item (2) - 25,000 XPThe newest item in the Fortnite repertoire, Pizza Party, of course factors into one of the challenges for this week. If you find one around the island, make sure you get two slices for yourself in order to complete the challenge. Meanwhile, talking to Haven, Shanta, or Galactico is easy: find them on the map, strike up a conversation, and suddenly you're 25,000 XP richer. If you don't know where they are, check out this handy guide on every Fornite Chapter 3 Season 1 NPC location and you'll be able to plan a landing right on their doorstep.
Klombos and klomberries are key for two of this week's challenges.You can follow our guide on Timber Pines to complete that task--just make sure you aim the falling logs onto existing structures, even if you have to build them yourself. Similarly, our look at where to find Klombos and klomberries will help you knock off two of the seven quests, nabbing you 50,000 XP in the process.
The final two quests are the most straightforward: First, find a Vending Machine and do any emote in front of it in order to earn the XP. Second, find any explosive weapon—the Grenade Launcher does nicely, for example—and deal 100 damage with it to complete that quest.
That's it for Fortnite's Week 8 challenges. Make sure you're staying ahead of the seasonal quests, as we're betting they'll factor into how you'll be able to smell what The Foundation is cookin' as soon as he unlocks next week.
