Dealing damage to opponents is certainly not an unfamiliar concept in Fortnite, and indeed it is at the foundation of one of the Season 5 Week 7 challenges. More specifically, this new challenge instructs players to damage opponents in vehicles, and completing this task can prove to be a bit difficult. That said, Fortnite fans that use the tips outlined in this guide, and practice some patience, should ultimately be able to finish the challenge and receive their rewards.
Before providing tips on how to complete this Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenge, it is worth emphasizing that the task's exact instruction is to deal damage to opponents that are in vehicles, not to use a vehicle to deal damage. While this will already be clear to some readers, it is a very important distinction that players should be fully aware of when attempting to tackle the challenge.
With that established, one way to approach this task is to obtain a weapon and camp the high ground in an area with a high density of vehicles, such as Lazy Lake, Pleasant Park, Retail Row, and Sweaty Sands. Indeed, fans can keep their eyes on quite a number of parked cars from the top of the buildings in these areas, and they should hold their positions until a foe enters one of them. When that occurs, players should simply fire down onto the car to deal some damage and progress the challenge.
Alternatively, fans can try to lure an opponent into the passenger seat of a vehicle in Fortnite and then hop out and fire at it once the unsuspecting foe has entered. Getting close to an adversary and honking is one way to signal that they should come for a ride, though they are certainly not required to do so. While this may not be the most honorable approach to the challenge, it does give players a bit more agency than the previously outlined method.
To note, there are many other opportunities to earn XP in Fortnite at the time of writing, and fans that are finding this challenge particularly frustrating may want to just let it go. While this is something that players that are trying to reach the top tiers of the Battle Pass may be reluctant to do, the irritation that this challenge can bring may simply not be worth the associated rewards. Instead, fans may be better off putting their time toward collecting Fortnite's Season 5 Week 7 XP Coins and taking on other tasks.
Fortnite is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
