We’re now into Season 5, Week 5 of Fortnite, which means there’s a new selection of challenges for players on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS to undertake. As with previous weeks, the newest batch are split between challenges that are available to all players, and a small selection of additional ones that are only accessible to paid Battle Pass owners. Completing the challenges unlocks Battle Stars, which contribute towards leveling up the Battle Pass and unlocking fresh new items to customize your character wish..

This week’s challenges for the free tier involve searching for seven chests in Junk Junction and eliminating three opponents in a single match. On top of that, you’ll need to use three Rift Portals. Since Rift Portals appear randomly, this one is going to involve spending some time running around searching for them, so we recommend getting on with the other challenges but keeping an eye out for rifts.

For Battle Pass-exclusive challenges, you’ll have to deal 300 damage with a Clinger, Stink Bomb, or Grenade; hit a golf ball from tee to green on five different holes, and eliminating three opponents in Shifty Shafts. As with previous weeks, the trickiest of the bunch is following the treasure map found in Snobby Shores.

As usual, you don’t need to find the map to actually complete the hunt for the Battle Star, but if you want to see it, you can take a look below for an image. The Battle Star is located on the roof of the northernmost crypt inside Haunted Hills. The quickest and easiest way to get yourself up there is to build structures until you’re high enough to jump on. Take a look below to also see a map of the exact location where the star can be found.

Along with getting Battle Stars, completing any four challenges will get you 5,000 XP. Take a look below for a complete list of challenges.
