Wastelander Challenges in Fortnite provide extra difficulty to your Fortnite game. Some Fortnite quests require you to take on these challenges and even earn a Victory Royale with one active.

How to activate a Wastelander Challenge in Fortnite

Currently, the only Fortnite Quest surrounding the Wastelander Challenges is the Jumpstart Quest requiring you to start one, which isn’t a big deal. Before long, there’ll be a quest demanding you win a game with one. So be ready with yourPower Armor.

There arefour Wastelander Beaconsscattered around the Fortnite map that you’ll have to go up to. These beacons are essentially radios broadcasting a challenge to you, and should you choose to accept. Be warned: These Wastelander Challenges will be inhibiting you for the rest of your session.

To find the locations of the Wastelander Beacons, head over to your Quests. Go into Jumpstart Quests and select the “Accept a Wastelander Challenge.” To the right, all the Wastelander Beacon locations will appear on the map. Choose one of them andplace a marker over itso you’ll be shown where it is in-game.

So when you next drop in, you’ll be able to visit the Wastelander Beacon and accept the challenge. Each beacon will offer youa random challenge of six. You can accept it or decline it, but you can’t change it.

These Wastelander Challenges are pretty hardcore. Unfortunately, there’s no reason to really take them apart fromcompleting quests(that aren’t out yet, but we know they will be soon thanks to leakers).

Oh, and by the way, if you experience lag, I wouldnotsuggest picking up The Floor Is Lava or Full Throttle. You’ll be burning away without being able to do anything about it. Oh, and also, both of thosechallenges still count even when using vehicles. There is no easy way out.

Now that you know how to make your game significantly harder, why don’t you make it worthwhile andearn the Fallout Power Armorto really show off your capabilities?
