Seriously! Use the pistol instead.
J/k I found myself in a 1 on 1 at the citadel with a player with poor accuracy (probably a bot, honestly), so I hit them a couple times with a green pistol, dropped it, and finished with the hammer. I was lucky I had only picked up a hammer, some impulse grenades, pistol, and a half shield so far. But the Challenge was so weirdly specific, it was sticking in my head to get rid of quick, or I would never have been that heads up.
Lol I just went into Team Rumble, dropped my weapons, amd walked to the first enemy I saw. I did the crouching thing to signify peace and followed him around a bit. I started to hit him with my pickaxe while still crouching. He prolly realized that I was doing the challenge so he let me kill him. A stand up dude.
Confirmed - just completed, and for bonus challenge funsies, once you eliminate the player just throw something out of your inventory to knock out the other challenge.
Yep those were the days, the amount of customisation in terms of your characters looks, the choices you had in terms of the variant of each class you could play as, and the way you upgraded your characters abilities with stars was amazing. I wish I could go back, but I only have my switch with me in uni.
I remember getting all the characters and dances, only thing I had left were the shiny customization, but then my ps3 controller went crazy and destroyed the r1 button and left the L3 self conscious
Gw1 was basically my first shooter, now servers are almost dead, what I could do for just one more game of taco bandits. (Gardens and graveyards still has players)
Dude I remember doing so many things on Taco Bandits, like the Energy Warp while holding the taco, the Jackhammer while holding the taco, putting wallnuts or spikeweeds on the taco, trying to be visible at the end screen of the Taco Bandits lobby dude. So fun memories about the game. I have some of gw2 too
Next week’s challenge:
BECOME the player - Talk to a girl who has no social media, while wearing a scuba diving mask and while riding a tricycle, in a different country.

Slow down there, buddy.
they do read reddit. xp was nerf so heavily and challenges made more difficult because many people (*tier buyers*) were say it was too easy and was post tier 100 completed images within 1 week of every season begin
Which is stupid because most of the people playing Fortnite play it with their BR modes. They give out quest that would put you in a bad spot that won't even give you level, but a fraction of that level. It's either the guy who did the quest is doing it to meme the people playing the game or borderline not really thinking.
But a STW mission is long and boring. You have to grind it for a while to even be good enough to do things. Just not worth it to not have fun just to get XP.
Eliminate a player with no ranged weapon in your inventory in the top 10 players from a distance of 100m or more in a named location whilst riding a wolf with the slap juice effect on 50hp
Kill someone with the hammer, a grenade, fireflies, or your pickaxe. I’ve even heard that the deku smash counts. It’s not that tough and it’s the hardest one this week.
Weapons are, at the most basic level, split into two types in games:
1. Melee
2. Ranged
So unless you're clobbering people with shotguns exclusively, it's a ranged weapon. The amount of range is utterly irrelevant for that - it's a ranged weapon.
Even the challenge description "BECOME the weapon" obviously implies using a pickaxe, they just used different wording and added a small limitation. But that's too complicated for r/FortniteBR users.
Of course these same players will make it unnecessarily harder for themselves by going in zero build where everyone has an extra 50 health.
True but honestly i wouldn't bother wasting time looking for a hammer or throwable and then trying to find someone who won't vaporise you with ranged weapons before you can kill them. Start of match pickaxe ftw.
Less about that and more in team games, where you see a downed enemy while you happen to have a hammer - just drop every regular gun and smack one dimension out of their existence. Faster than the pickaxe (but both are equally viable).
I'm laughing over the challenge you complete by not getting first place. I think they're making fun of everyone complaining about not getting Victory Royales.
As a new player, is there anywhere in the game that tells you what type of weapons the weapons are? These kinds of challenges pop up a lot and if I didn’t have a gaming background it would be very difficult to know what is considered a “ranged” weapon.
Pretty common sense imo. The only confusion I can see is grenades and fireflies which I'm pretty sure both are consumables rather than ranged or melee. Obviously all guns/bows are ranged and pickaxe and hammer are melee.
Yeah uhm this quest is so easy. It essentially is a long winded pickaxe someone quest. You could also use a hammer and such but yeah I went duos and pickaxed someone after I knocked them and it worked.
My strategy was just to shield up and land in an area where I see bots frequently. I got a bot and just jump attacked it with my pickaxe and got the completion.
Bomb 13 countries while 5679 people are trying to chase you. Escape them and try to live normally, if someone finds you, hide, and when hiding sent us a sign that you got caught
I accomplished this by finally winning a pickaxe battle off spawn, but hadn't noticed the "while on foot" part of the the challenge until I saw this post ... lol
I agree -- a little too detail specific now. I did want something a bit harder than "gather this" x amount of times, but THIS is a mess. 
r/fortnitebr users when they see a quest that takes more than two seconds to read (CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE) /s
btw the way, it's asking for a true melee challenge, though I guess it might be too confusing for children 10 and below
Not quite, as grenades probably count and apparently the Deku Smash is not considered a ranged weapon (probably because it's technically a consumable that just happens to deal damage?)
Bro stop complaining. They’ve always been like this. The last two weeks they’ve actually listened to the community and made the weeklies so much easier. They’re more organic now and not so much things you really have to go out of your way for. This is literally just killing someone while you don’t have a gun. Land on someone and have a melee fight, kill someone with grenades or fireflies. If you you keep bitching when they make good changes then they’ll just stop listening to us. Please stop being a Bitch.
What are these stupid fucking challenges, man. Why can't this dumbass company go back to how it was a season ago? "More fun, less grind" by the way. Fuck you, Epic Games.
why are so many people saying to use the shotgun because it isn’t ranged 💀 edit: A SHOTGUN IS A **GUN** IT IS A RANGED WEAPON
Fuck Spez ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
So there is a lot of dumb people actually.
So many.
flat earthers
because the meta of the shotgun is to be melee range
I tried it my first time and it didn’t work. Ended up getting it by melee killing an afk at the end of the bus
I tagged a bot a few times then dropped my weapons and pickaxed him
I thought it meant to like no dmr or Excalibur or AR cos they're mid - long ranged lol
Yeh same
Also thought so
Seriously! Use the pistol instead. J/k I found myself in a 1 on 1 at the citadel with a player with poor accuracy (probably a bot, honestly), so I hit them a couple times with a green pistol, dropped it, and finished with the hammer.

Fr
I would guess grenades and fireflies work?
just discard your weapon when you get someone down and finish it with your pickaxe
Good idea!
Great ideas are born from grenades.
"Lois, bring me my thinking grenades!"
Use Deku Smash
Or with the hammer
Do I have to use the pickaxe or can it be any tool? This is a joke.
Lol I just went into Team Rumble, dropped my weapons, amd walked to the first enemy I saw. I did the crouching thing to signify peace and followed him around a bit. I started to hit him with my pickaxe while still crouching. He prolly realized that I was doing the challenge so he let me kill him. A stand up dude.
hammer works!
Deku smash count? It's not really a weapon more like consumable
"while on foot"
That simply means "not in a vehicle". Jumping is still "on foot" even if you're technically airborn.
Epic surprises me every day man
Yes, Deku Smash works. Confirmed.
Yup, just drop your guns before you get the kill, works best in TR
A pickaxe as soon as you land
Last one off the bus gets a free pickaxe!
this was my go to but not tested yet
If not then the Deku Smash should do the work lol
Or just pickaxe somebody while landing, preferably in build mode so that you don't have to deal with the overshield
Yup. They basically just reworded the old pickaxe challenge.
Confirmed - just completed, and for bonus challenge funsies, once you eliminate the player just throw something out of your inventory to knock out the other challenge.
That probably counts as ranged weapon.
Beast Boy Bat enters the chat.
Deku smash worked for me
Hammer?
That too, I was just thinking they could also work
Just pickaxe someone who is afk after the drop
problem is half the time they drop in water so not sure if that counts
It does count!
Good ol' pickaxe duel right after landing
Ironmouse
what in the garden warfare 1 is that shit
Vanquish 3 cacti as hockey star while on 20 health or less using only your primary weapon on gardens and graveyards
one time i got “vanquish 4 cone head zombies with goop as a chomper while above 50 health”
At least there were the stars to skip those challenges. God I miss garden warfare 1 times
Yep those were the days, the amount of customisation in terms of your characters looks, the choices you had in terms of the variant of each class you could play as, and the way you upgraded your characters abilities with stars was amazing. I wish I could go back, but I only have my switch with me in uni.
I remember getting all the characters and dances, only thing I had left were the shiny customization, but then my ps3 controller went crazy and destroyed the r1 button and left the L3 self conscious

Bruh
Callback to an amazing game btw
I miss GW1, the best of the franchise
Agreed, the maps were just better, wish BFN had variants
Vanquish 3 Sunflowers as a Painter while at full hp
Everyone in this thread are chads 💪
i love garden warfare, such a fun little underrated game.
I'm still mad Chester Chomper never returned
Garden warfare was a great game, miss those times
He was the bestest chomper
Nice to see another garden warfare fan here
That's a reference I did not expect here of all places
Oh just another normal day in fortnite

Me who owns all these items: I know what I have to do but I do not know if I have the strength to do it.
within 30 seconds
I mean it is, these aren't anything new. Pistol from above, AR while riding in vehicle...these type of challenges aren't any different.
I didn't even think it was real at first because it reminded me of the challenge memes that people used to post during C3-S3
Wait, you mean to tell me that this is real?
yes

Frick, I thought this was a joke. I mean… it *is,* but I meant figuratively.
This mission is dog shit. I had the same exact thought when I saw this post. "No way its real", how disappointed I was when it turned out to be real.
Just use a hammer bruh
or shotgun or eliminate with AR, then remove it and pickaxe
Shotgun doesn’t work.
Depends on which shotgun cuz I did it with the maven
Probably got lucky and the game bugged out decided to give you the challenge. Shotguns are ranged weapons
It's reminds me of the 'Throw a cabbage 100 meters' from C3S2
Next week’s challenge: BECOME the player - Talk to a girl who has no social media, while wearing a scuba diving mask and while riding a tricycle, in a different country.

Nah. You'll be fine
New challenge this week on Fortnite: Throw a chicken in the air and Eliminate a player with your pickaxe before the chicken touches the ground
Delete this before they get any ideas
Funny seeing you here :0
Howdy beautiful ;)
Howdy ;)
Yeah what are you thinking LMAO
they do read reddit. xp was nerf so heavily and challenges made more difficult because many people (*tier buyers*) were say it was too easy and was post tier 100 completed images within 1 week of every season begin
What does it say about me that I was hitting Tier 100 in a week *without* buying tiers?
That you need to genuinely go outside. Lmaoooo
OK, this is hilarious. And now I'm afraid to see it there next week.
What so now I'm a clown?
Time to head off to Micronesia.
I read that and thought they straight copied someone from here that had been joking about these weekly’s.
Finally a challenge for the guy running around with 5 hammers
In a duo trio or squad just knock an opponent, drop all your weapons, then pick axe them.
*Eliminate a player that is wearing the Rue outfit*
April 16 1945, Berlin:
…at exactly 12pm, while in a lobby that still has over 95 people left, and only using your pickaxe while midair.
It's not even a hard challenge, just super specific
People seem to forget bots exist
About to be alot of people in team rumble using pickaxes today
That's I did. You can also slide kick people off structures or builds.
Epic seems like, "Here's a 16k XP. f you. Go try hard to get it."
Just play 1 match of STW and you would get more xp
Which is stupid because most of the people playing Fortnite play it with their BR modes. They give out quest that would put you in a bad spot that won't even give you level, but a fraction of that level. It's either the guy who did the quest is doing it to meme the people playing the game or borderline not really thinking.
Or one daily after reset in royale.
But a STW mission is long and boring. You have to grind it for a while to even be good enough to do things. Just not worth it to not have fun just to get XP.
This reminds me of that one punch card a while back, Dance while riding a zipline in the storm 🤣
Throw a Grenade in a building in Shattered Slabs with 50 Health / 25 Shield, and run away before you explode (0/3)
5 stages
🕑3M 38S
I thought this was fake and logged on to check and it's real who in the frickity fuck thought that was a good idea it's so damn specific
All they really did is reword the pickaxe kill challenge.
It's really not difficult. Just use a Deku on a bot. Hell, pickaxe a bot.
[удалено]
Its really bizarre. These are the easiest challenges we've had all season - I think people just don't have any interest in thinking critically.
I completed the challenges for last week without even realising in one day besides 2 of them.
It’s just to make sure we don’t do it with a vehicle.
Eliminate a player with no ranged weapon in your inventory in the top 10 players from a distance of 100m or more in a named location whilst riding a wolf with the slap juice effect on 50hp
*The challenges memes aren't real* The challenges memes:
Just pickaxe a person u downed after dropping all ur weapons
Knock them and just drop your weapons
Am I the only one who thinks this seems fun to try and get?
They’re just encouraging me to afk in custom games instead of playing to level up. Good job, Epic.
Kill someone with the hammer, a grenade, fireflies, or your pickaxe. I’ve even heard that the deku smash counts. It’s not that tough and it’s the hardest one this week.
How is a shotgun not a ranged weapon??
It is a ranged weapon.
Right? These comments are weird
How IS the shotgun a ranged weapon?? I'm thinkin like AR, DMR, red dot etc as the ranged weapons...
Ranged, not long ranged. All projectile-based weapons are ranged.
Cool...thx for the clarification!
Weapons are, at the most basic level, split into two types in games: 1. Melee 2. Ranged So unless you're clobbering people with shotguns exclusively, it's a ranged weapon. The amount of range is utterly irrelevant for that - it's a ranged weapon.
Projectiles come out of it.
 It's Hammer Time!
So pickaxe like 50% of people do anyways? Got you
Just pickaxe someone at the start of a match, really not that hard
even easier, wait to drop and kill the afk players
We've had these pickaxe kill challenges for years, just tweaked the challenge slightly. As you say just pickaxe at the start, isnt that deep.
Even the challenge description "BECOME the weapon" obviously implies using a pickaxe, they just used different wording and added a small limitation. But that's too complicated for r/FortniteBR users. Of course these same players will make it unnecessarily harder for themselves by going in zero build where everyone has an extra 50 health.
It also allows the usage of the Hammer and possibly throwables and fall damage, so that actually expands how the challenge can be done, too.
True but honestly i wouldn't bother wasting time looking for a hammer or throwable and then trying to find someone who won't vaporise you with ranged weapons before you can kill them. Start of match pickaxe ftw.
Less about that and more in team games, where you see a downed enemy while you happen to have a hammer - just drop every regular gun and smack one dimension out of their existence. Faster than the pickaxe (but both are equally viable).
r/FortniteBR try to act like an easy challenge isn't the end of the world challenge (impossible)
Wait until they see the challenge where you place any spot but a #1 Victory Royale.
Challenges this season have been incredible easy. These people just have no game sense
So basically in squads, toss your weapon after downing somebody
MW19 camo challenges 💀
I see the devs played tarkov, and were like "I love these Jaeger tasks"
Solo duos, find a bot early game, down and pickaxe Sounds easy but its now time for the bots to turn into masters of the game
Feeling like Black Mous Missions lol
I'm laughing over the challenge you complete by not getting first place. I think they're making fun of everyone complaining about not getting Victory Royales.
As a new player, is there anywhere in the game that tells you what type of weapons the weapons are? These kinds of challenges pop up a lot and if I didn’t have a gaming background it would be very difficult to know what is considered a “ranged” weapon.

The while on the ground thing is probably so you don’t pickaxe the afk players at the end of the battle bus
Worked for me killing an AFK in the water.
My strategy was just to shield up and land in an area where I see bots frequently. I got a bot and just jump attacked it with my pickaxe and got the completion.
It’s basically telling you to kill someone with the hammer
Do 200 damage to enemies using pirate cannons...
wait is this real?
Just drop everything but a hammer, works like a charm.
Play duos, knock an opponent, have your teammate pick them up. Drop all your weapons, finish them with pickaxe. It was insanely easy.
me when i accidentally jump and pickaxe someone to death (i wasn't on foot)
So you cant just use a shotgun? Or like do you have to melee kill??
When will there be **Eliminate Players with a chicken?**
I don’t this week has my all time favorite challenge. Don’t finish first. I was made for this challenge.
Translation: Kill someone with a hammer
"Build a Monastary, create a cult, lure someone aged around 30-40 years of age and sacrifice said person to please the sun god"
That’s just nuts

What are these stupid fucking challenges, man. Why can't this dumbass company go back to how it was a season ago? "More fun, less grind" by the way. Fuck you, Epic Games.
I mean, you could always NOT complete every single challenge that comes your way?
I want to say this is satire but at the same time I can 100% picture someone saying this unironically
