The second 14 Days of Fortnite challenge has arrived, and it’s a little more involved than the one we saw yesterday, which was just to join a Creative server which takes two seconds.
This time, you’re being asked to visit two giant candy canes on the map, some of which you may have seen around, but if you don’t remember exactly where they are, I don’t blame you.
The candy canes are all on the tops of mountains, or at least hills, and from what I can tell, there are only four of them on the map (if you know where others are, do let me know). You do not have to visit two of them in one match, which would have been extremely difficult, you only have to visit two of them total. They are in pretty remote locations you would not be visiting otherwise, I’ve found.
Go here to see where to search between ski lodges. Go here to see all of week 3′s challenges.
Three of them are in the new snow region, one is way, way far away on the other side of the map. Here’s a map I mocked up to show you where they are.
To recap:
- There’s a candy cane on top of a mountain north of the new airfield, it’s up pretty dang high so this one may be the hardest to reach
- There’s a candy cane on a snowy hill just to the east of Shifty Shafts, and its proximity to an actual named location is solid if you want to try and have a productive game afterward
- There’s a candy cane on a snowy hill to the west of Fatal Fields, right where the snow part of the map meets the grass part
- There’s a candy cane way far away from all of these in the northeast of the map between The Block and Wailing Woods on a hill there.
There might be more, but you only need two, and there’s four for you. Getting this will unlock today’s prize which is uhhhh I’m not sure yet, actually. I need to do one more of these in-game before I find out, but I wanted to make sure to get this map up as quickly as I can. We have already seen the list of prizes leak, so it’s going to be one of those for sure. (Update: Alright I got both, and the prize is actually the “Festive Firefight” loading screen).
We know there are going to be other challenges that involve other Christmas-themed objects around the map like Christmas trees and Goose Eggs, but we’re starting with Candy Canes today and I hope this guide was helpful for you. Share this, if it was.
