Fortnite chapter 3, season 2 launched on March 20, introducing a lengthy list of new changes, features, and cosmetics to earn. With that in mind, Epic Games has also introduced more quests for us to complete, most of which are tied to the season’s new mechanics. The biggest change this time around is the removal of the building mechanic, which is an absolute game-changer, forcing players to rely solely on their aim rather than their ability to quickly create a massive structure to hide within.
Completing challenges is the best source of XP, so you’ll want to make sure you’re finishing most of them as you play through each season — that way, you can get closer to leveling up your battle pass all the way. If you complete them as you go, rather than trying to finish as many as possible toward the end of the season, you’ll likely have an easier time leveling up.
Here, we’ll keep a running list of all the quests for chapter 3, season 2, with links to guides to help you complete them all. Each week, we’ll update the list with the latest challenges, so be sure to check back after a new quest list goes live.
These are all the Fortnite chapter 3, season 2 quests.
Many of this week’s challenges are tied to the season’s new mechanics and features (such as the repair torch, airships, and mantling) and also require you to use new weapons. Thankfully, the majority of the quests are fairly straightforward once you know where to go and once you understand the new mechanics. For help completing them, we recommend checking out our dedicated guide below.
The Omni Sword quests are unlocked by purchasing the battle pass. You then need to unlock the Omni Sword itself from within the battle pass and you’ll gain access to the quests tied to it. For this, hidden chips are scattered around the map, serving as currency to customize the sword with. Each week, Epic Games will add more chips to the map, so make sure you collect them as you play to gain progress. Our guide below has the latest details on finding all available chips.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
