Season 9 of Fortnite kicked off last week, on May 9, bringing a new Battle Pass and a fresh batch of cosmetics to unlock with it, and resetting the weekly challenge rotation. By now it should all be second nature to you, but on the off chance you're new to the game, here's the skinny: To unlock the rewards that are part of the Battle Pass, you'll need to complete the weekly challenges. These award you Battle Stars, which level the pass up and grant access to items attached to the various tiers.
What makes it slightly more complicated is that there are two kinds of passes. The first is a free version available to everyone. The second is a special one you need to pay V-Bucks to get. If you cough up the cash, you'll get more challenges on a weekly basis, which naturally means more Battle Stars and unlocks.

Now Playing: Fortnite Update 9.1 Adds Tactical Assault Rifle, But Vaults Combat SMG - GS News Update
Week 2's challenges are now available and, in large part, are pretty easy to complete. The one that may give you a bit of trouble is exclusive to the premium pass and asks players to "visit an oversized Phone, a big Piano, and a giant Dancing Fish trophy." If that's confusing, don't worry about it, we'll have a guide for it up shortly. You can see the remaining challenges below.

If you need a hand with Week 1's challenges, head over to our Fortnite Season 9 full challenge guide.
This week also marks the arrival of a John Wick limited-time mode. You can unlock some cool rewards that have been plucked straight out of the movies, but you'll have to work for them by completing the Wick's Bounty LTM challenges.
