If you bought the Season 3 Battle Pass in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you’re doubtless already started on your way towards ascending the 100-tier mountain to unlock that elusive John Wick skin. Challenges are going to be your best bet for doing this, both the weekly and the daily variety. One of these weekly quests, in particular, stands out: “follow the treasure map at Dusty Depot.” If you’re stuck on how to get past this, read on. Spoilers below:
To start with, you’ll need to go to Dusty Depot. Note: you won’t see this map unless you have the Battle Pass, and other members of your squad might not be able to see it even if you can. In the sunken portion in between two of the buildings you’ll see this map on the wall:
So we’ve got a big chair, a house with a car on top of it, and a big tree on top of a hill. If you’ve spent a lot of time in the game, you might have seen a few of these objects before. If you haven’t, however, you can consult this handy map below. The place you’re looking for is just south of Shifty Shafts:
So go to where you can find the house with the car on top of it, which shouldn’t be hard to spot when you’re in the area. Just north of it, right outside the fence, you’ll see a small tree. Cut it down and a wreathed star like you can see in the challenge menu should pop out. Grab it to complete the quest.
Weekly challenges are a new addition to Fortnite: Battle Royale, and they add an interesting wrinkle to standard challenges that call for a player to kill enemies, play matches, finish in the top 50 or various other tasks that essentially amount to playing the game. Two challenges call for players to open chests in Pleasant Park and kill enemies in Fatal Fields, both of which fit into playing the game but under much more specific circumstances than usual. Two others, however, have little to do with the main goal of gearing up and surviving: this one and one other that asks players to visit three specific locations on the map.
It’s an interesting concept that broadens the ways in which people will be interacting with the game. The treasure map challenge — quest feels like an almost more appropriate term — in particular feels like a way to use the Battle Royale map as a springboard for different kinds of play rather than just asking every player to go in and kill each other. In the same way that Fortnite: Save the World became a platform for Fortnite: Battle Royale, it’s not hard to see how the Battle Royale mode can house all sorts of what amount to slightly skewed minigames.
