The "Fortnite" Season 5 update is here and it has a lot of new skins, a new vehicle called the All Terrain Kart, and a list of brand new weekly challenges. This season of "Fortnite" allows free-to-play players to complete the first three challenges without owning the Battle Pass and the other four challenges can be completed once you own the Battle Pass.
Week 1 challenges
Free Week 1 challenges are: Search a Supply Llama (1 total), deal damage with SMGs to opponents (500 total), and (3) eliminations with Clinger, Stink Bomb, or Grenade.
Battle Pass Week 1 challenges are: Eliminate (3) opponents in Retail Row, search (7) chests in Snobby Shores, follow the treasure map found in Risky Reels, and find (7) the new floating Lightning Bolts.
Lightning Bolt locations
One of the hardest challenges this week is finding the Lightning Bolts that are scattered all over the map. Below is information I gathered from reports by Euro Gamer and Shack News that reveals where all 20 Lightning Bolds are located. But you only need seven of them to complete the challenge. All locations are listed below.
- There's one located at the north-west corner of Junk Junction. It is quite visible from the hills near that location.
- Near the southern hill of Haunted Hills, north of Pleasant Park.
- Next to the mountain, near the north-west side of Snobby Shores.
- West side of Loot Lake, above the water.
- Greasy Grove, right above the buildings.
- A little to the west side of Paradise Palms, right next to the tall building.
- At the north end of the river that runs across the map.
- West of Wailing Woods, on the hilly terrain, near the camper van.
- West of Tomato Town, near the left side of the river.
- West side of Retail Row, directly above the street.
- There's one located at the Tilted Towers, near the red building.
- Climb up the three-story building, near the north-east side of Lucky Landing, and you'll find a Lightning Bolt behind the building.
- Next to the bridge in Shifty Shafts.
- Right at the center of Dusty Divot.
- West side of Salty Springs, above the houses.
- North side of Wailing Woods, above the maze.
- Above the motel, that is located at the far west side of Lazy Links.
- Near the factory that is located at the south side of Shifty Shafts.
- You'll find one at the west side of the tall tower that is located at the Lonely Lodge.
- Near the bridge, located at the east side of Salty Springs.
Even though the first three challenges are free, players still need to complete four challenges in order to unlock the weekly reward.
