Unveiling the Stealth Master's Arsenal: A Guide to Conquering Fortnite's New Quests in Chapter 5, Season 1

This week in Fortnite, gamers are in for a thrilling expansion of quests, thanks to the arrival of the enigmatic Master of Stealth. While the array of quests might appear limited at first, especially for those who stick to the battle royale experience, a deeper dive reveals a wealth of additional tasks nestled within the Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival modes. Engaging with these offerings not only enriches the gameplay but also promises to shower players with XP, propelling them through the intricacies of the battle pass. 

Presently, the Snapshot storyline quests are on hiatus, but players can immerse themselves in the Kickstart quests that shine a spotlight on the season's new dynamics. Supplementing these are the reworked daily quests (now known as Match), the overarching progression quests (Milestones), and the familiar Weekly quests, which, in a new twist, drop in full weekly sets instead of being doled out in fragments.

The challenges for Week 8 demand stealth-laden gameplay, urging players to collect copious amounts of ammunition while in a crouched position and travel substantial distances using the Cardboard Box. Additionally, the objective is to deliver an impressive 1,500 damage to opponents from over 25 meters away. Team Rumble emerges as the ideal mode to attempt this, offering abundant opportunities to engage adversaries from afar.

While some quests are naturally accomplished throughout regular play, others require conscious effort and insider tactics to complete. With the current lack of in-game characters to assign quests, accessing the list of missions has become significantly more straightforward. Simply navigate to the quests section via the main or pause menu for a transparent layout of the tasks at hand, including the capability to track the progress of specific challenges. Persisting in quest completion will award substantial XP, unlocking a host of enticing rewards.

Unlockables and Challenges - The Adventure Begins

For players new to the unique offerings and locales of Chapter 5, the Kickstart quests act as an ideal introduction. The range of quests under this bracket includes:

Match Quests: A Revolutionary Approach

Similar to their predecessors, completing each of the initial three Match quests within a 24-hour span comes with a 15K XP bonus.
