It's a never-ending grind for epic loot in Fortnite, and that's why fans continue to take on rewarding challenges every week. In Season 6 Week 7, there's a simple challenge to consume foraged items. Tasks such as this should not be overlooked, as it is an opportunity to earn significant amounts of XP towards the current battle pass. Even casual players can earn coveted rewards by participating in occasional quests. With this short guide, anyone can quickly start consuming foraged items during a Fortnite match to complete the latest weekly challenge.
Foraged items in Fortnite include food harvested from farm areas, or produce found within convenience stores. Players who intend to complete the quest as quickly as possible can drop directly to one of the relevant zones from the battle bus. Those who find themselves starting far away from a place where items can be foraged may want to seek out a creative quick travel method. All that matters is getting some Corn, Cabbage, Mushrooms, or Peppers as soon as possible.
The map below highlights some great foraging hot spots. The cornfields near Colossal Crops can yield many consumable items by using a trusty harvesting tool. North of Colossal Crops is an orchard that grows cabbages, which can be quickly picked up without a harvesting tool. All the way down near Slurpy Swamp are some mushrooms that restore shields rather than health, but they count all the same. No matter what gathering spot players may choose to visit, it's important to be aware that other players will be vying for the same objective. Grabbing a powerful weapon before anything else would be a prudent course of action.
There is one aspect that players may struggle with during the "consume foraged items" quest. More so than foraging the items, players might have a hard time actually consuming them. Corn and cabbage recover lost HP, and can not be consumed if the player already has full health. For this reason, some clever fans might focus their attention on mushrooms, which recover shields rather than HP. That being said, those who have their hearts set on eating corn or cabbage can easily inflict a bit of damage on themselves by falling from a great height. It could also be a good idea to consume some foraged items after a duel with an NPC.
Unique and quirky quests are a huge draw for Fortnite fans. Any game that locks rewards behind a grindy battle pass can get boring or tiresome. Fortnite keeps fans entertained with a variety of fun challenges that offer huge amounts of battle pass XP every week. Objectives can range from foraging items to battling iconic characters and unraveling deep lore. With so many enticing ways to play, there's always something for everyone in the popular battle royale game.
Fortnite is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
