Fortnite Week 8 Challenges: Visit Clocks, Apply Shields, And More (Season 9)

Another week has elapsed in the world of Fortnite and, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, we've been blessed with new challenges for Season 9, Week 8. We know you'll be seeking to cure what's deep inside (the need for Battle Stars that will level up your Battle Pass and unlock new cosmetics), so we've put together a quick breakdown of what you'll need to do to get them.

Fortnite challenges can be tricky, occasionally asking you to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies, but this time, it's fairly easy stuff--nothing that a hundred men or more would be required to do. However, it's gonna take some time to do the things you never had (ooh, ooh), but if you take a look below you'll be able to prioritize and get through it quicker.

In the free section (challenges that anyone can do without buying the Battle Pass), you'll need to apply shields, visit different clocks, and eliminate enemies in Snobby Shores or Mega Mall. The clocks are the trickiest challenge of the week, given that you need to know where to go, but you can check out our guide for a look at all the clock locations. Once you know where to go, it becomes fairly easy.

If you've got a Battle Pass, you'll be able to do some exclusive challenges. If you haven't got one and want to get all the cosmetics this season, it's worth getting one as you'll get more challenges and thus more opportunities to get Battle Stars. A Battle Pass can be purchased using V-Bucks from the in-game store--hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.

Battle Pass-exclusive challenges will ask you to do damage with assault rifles, visit a few specific locations as part of a multi-stage challenge, use a Volcano Vent, Air Vent, and a Zipline in a single match, and then get eliminations outside of named locations.

If you stop an old man along the way, he'll no doubt tell you that Fortnite also has a set of additional challenges available as part of the 14 Days of Summer event. These challenges usually involve a themed objective, and we've been creating guides for those. The latest asks you to bounce a giant beach ball in different matches, and there are some shortcuts you can take, so make sure to read the guide before attempting it.
