It’s Thursday, and that means not only a new Fornite Battle Royale update — it was actually meant to come yesterday — but also a new set of battle pass challenges for anyone still grinding their way up to tier 100 and that John Wick Reaper skin. And as usual we’ve got some non-combat challenges, one of which asks you to look between a vehicle tower, a rock sculpture and a circle of hedges: read on to find out where to go.
This week’s is tricky: for one thing, it’s in the water, which is something of a pain. For another thing, it’s not right by any immediately recognizable landmarks, and so you’ll have to do a little bit of work to make sure you’re standing in the right place. But the vehicle tower, rock sculpture and circle of hedges you want are on the southern edge of the map, in the Moisty Mire not too far from Lucky Landing. When you’re looking at the minimap in-game, the best orienting point I can think of is to look for a little green square and then go just Northwest of it. Here’s where you want to be dropping, however:
Once you’re there, the crest is in a pond. As an orienting point, I’m using a little dilapidated shack just past a tree. It’s also near a gnarl of roots on one of the trees that’s sticking into the water. It might take a little bit of doing, but getting the crest to appear is the same as it’s always been — just walk around until you hit the magic spot, and then collect the crest once it pops up.
So far this area doesn’t seem to be such a hotspot yet, so you can collect in relative calm before the gliders start dropping constantly. But once you grab it, it’s worth 10 battle points and thus a free battle pass tier — ever closer to John Wick Reaper.
The other day I talked to streaming superstar Ninja, who said that the treasure quests make for some of the most interesting things about Fortnite: little non-combat moments that change the gameplay into something totally different, even if it’s just for one round. The collaborative spirit of the treasure hunting, he said, was the best part.
