It’s another Thursday so you know what that means: the Fortnite season 10, week four challenges are now available! This week, the missions are called “Smash & Grab,” and they feature throwbacks to familiar challenges that we’ve done in the past. Despite being repeats, these weekly challenges are worth checking out — if not only for the unique (and terrifying) back bling reward that you can’t get anywhere else.
The new way Epic Games has been handling weekly challenges continues into this week. There are still seven challenges to complete, but once you’re through with them, you can then tackle the prestige versions of those same challenges … and they’ll be a bit harder. Completing all these missions is worth the additional effort as you’ll also get more rewards.
Smash and Grab Prestige challenges:
As you can see, the hot spot in Fortnite: Battle Royale is quite literally the hottest spot this week as there are a total of three challenges that require you to go there. These challenges include objectives such as landing at a hot spot, dealing damage to enemies there, and eliminating opponents.
These are pretty standard missions that are pretty easy to complete together. Finding enemies isn’t a problem, either, since there are other players trying to do these same challenges.
We recommend that you complete the hot spot challenges in Team Rumble or one of the other big team modes. This is because these modes allow you to have more teammates so you can work together to take down enemies at the different hot spots.
If you are having trouble completing the hot spot challenges, be sure to toggle on the Party Assist feature in the challenges tab. This will ensure that your teammates can help you complete each of the three challenges this week.
If you were around during season 9, then you probably know what a hot spot is. But if you’re new to the concept, let us get you up to speed.
Inspired by Respawn’s Apex Legends, hot spots are locations on the Battle Royale map where you can find high-quality loot, along with loot carriers that fly around carrying items.
To find a hot spot, open up your map at the start of a match and look for a location that is glowing yellow like in the screenshot above.
The glowing location on the map is a hot spot and is where you need to go to complete these hot spot challenges.
Hot spots may not show up right away. Sometimes they will appear once the battle bus has left so if you can’t find the hot spot at the beginning of the match, give it some time before checking your map for a glowing location again. There is always at least one hot spot per match, and sometimes you might even see two to three.
The first hot spot challenge this week tasks you with landing at a hot spot in three matches. All you need to do is jump into a match, look for the glowing location on your map, and land there. You will have to repeat this process for an additional two matches.
You may want to leave a match once you’ve landed at a hot spot, but you can actually save some time by completing the second hot spot challenge while you’re there. The next challenge requires you to deal at least 200 damage to opponents at hot spots, and you shouldn’t have any problem finding any enemies to take down. 200 damage is equal to one player with full health and shields or two players with no shields.
Our suggestion is to land at the hot spot and immediately find the nearest weapon. Use that weapon to take out any opponents who have no weapons or before they can attack you first. A shotgun, the new Junk Rift item, or a Brute mech are the best weapons to use for this.
The third and final hot spot challenge asks you to eliminate three opponents at a hot spot location. While the difficulty on this is turned up a notch because it’s a prestige challenge, it goes hand in hand with your previous objectives. When you land in the three different hot spots in three different matches, make sure you pick up some gear and weapons, and eliminate at least one enemy per match. This will complete the last hot spot challenge on your list.
Rewards work differently in season 10, as we mentioned in our Rift Zone guide last week. Instead of specific rewards for each challenge, you get rewards based on how many challenges you’ve done in a week.
Here is the full list of the Fortnite week four challenges rewards:
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
