The seventh week of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived, and it has a brought a new batch of quests along with it. One of these new challenges instructs players to disable a tank by damaging the engine, and some fans may be unclear about exactly how that is done. Fortunately, it is quite easy to disable a tank in Fortnite, and all the information that players need to complete this quest and claim its XP reward can be found in what follows.
Fortnite: Disable a Tank by Damaging the Engine
The first step toward completing the "disable a tank by damaging the engine" challenge is to locate a tank, and there many of them scattered across Fortnite's map. A map showcasing the positions of several tanks can be found below, and all the marked vehicles are suitable for the purposes of resolving this quest. That said, it is recommended that players make their way to Command Cavern in the northwest quadrant of the map, as it is home to two tanks, making it easier to finish the challenge.
Regardless of the specific tank that a fan chooses to target, the next thing that they should do is look for a weapon in the vicinity of the vehicle. Indeed, any of Fortnite's weapons will work just fine here, and players should simply grab whatever they come across first. Fans should then return to the tank that they have selected and prepare to disable it by damaging the engine.
To damage the engine of a tank in Fortnite, players must fire their weapons at the metal vents on the back of the vehicle, which are shown in image that is below. After shooting this area for a short time, fans will see a small explosion, and they will receive indication that they have completed the "disable a tank by damaging the engine" quest immediately thereafter. Notably, players can also approach the vehicle to get further confirmation that is temporarily disabled.
After disabling one of the tanks at Command Cavern, players may want to head northward and collect the new Omni Chips at Seven Outpost 2 in Fortnite. In total, there are three Omni Chips at that location, and fans can put them toward unlocking new Omni Sword customizations. This special currency will only appear if a player has purchased the Season 2 Battle Pass, though, and fans that have not taken on that expenditure need not waste their time hunting for Omni Chips.
Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
