Week nine of Fortnite’s fifth season is upon us, and with it come new challenges. This week sees another unique challenge tied to shopping carts and ATKs. Searching one chest in specific locations also makes its return. If you aren’t quite there, these challenges should hopefully help you get further to unlocking your tier 100 battle pass skin, Ragnarok. Let’s take a look at the list of challenges for week nine.

Deal damage with Explosive Weapons to Opponents

This is about as basic as challenges come. You’re going to want to damage opponent’s using any sort of explosive weapons. Both types of grenades count. So does the remote explosives, and the grenade/rocket launchers. Pick your poison and get to it. This will come rather quickly if you’re using explosives or an explosive launcher on an enemy with full health and shields. This will be 200 damage outright. If you’re playing a mode where players get downed, finishing them with explosives will be another 100 damage. That’s the quick way to do it.

If you don’t mind taking your time, you could also down an opponent with a gun, and finish them by tagging them with a clinger, or throwing remote explosives right under their crawling body, and detonate. Doing it this way will take about five different people. Here are the weapons you want to be on the lookout for.

Get Trick Points in a Shopping Cart or ATK

This challenge is a lot easier than it may come across. This challenge is easiest with two players but can be completed solo. Below are brief descriptions of both methods, as well as a map of where you find shopping carts and ATKs. It is highly recommended that you do not use the ground level pre-built ramps for this challenge, as most of them will get you almost no height, or little to no points if possible. Also, it’s highly suggested not to use a rift. While this can get you points, the odds of landing safely without destroying the vehicle are minimal.

Duo:

Grab an ATK, one person drives while the other hangs off the back. Make sure the person hanging off the back has adequate materials. Simply build ramps as your buddy is driving, drive up the ramps at least three-four levels up and then launch off, being sure to land right-side up. Doing so should net anywhere between 25,000-40,000 points each try. Adding in a little bit of drift can cause a small increase in the numbers, but adds to the possibility of a rollover or failing the trick. It will take about 4 – 6 times to get the 150,000 points required.

Solo:

Grab an ATK. Build a ramp two-three levels high. Drive up the ramp with your ATK and be sure to land right-side up. Turn around and go back to the start of the ramp and do it again. This will net you anywhere from 15,000-25,000 points each time. The goal is 150,000 so it will roughly 5 – 8 times depending on how many points you gain each time.

Shopping Cart/ATK Locations

Follow the Treasure Map found in Shifty Shafts

The treasure map in Shifty Shafts can be found in the lower mine area. The map is between the central and southern parts of the mine up against a wall. Here is the map that you’ll be presented with.

Look familiar? You’re going to want to head to candlestick mountain The battle star will be on one of the higher southern ledges, the one closest to Salty Springs. Here is a map to better pinpoint the location.

Search a Chest in (Location Name)

Horray! The exciting challenge to search one chest in five different locations has made a return. For this week, simply head to the designated locations and open one chest. Unfortunately, you still need to finish the game before you can head to the next location, so getting all five chests at each location will take five games total.

Visit different Stone Heads

The stone heads have moved around since the start of season five. Below is a map of the new locations of the stone heads. Some of them are still in their same locations while others are in new positions. There are seven in total, which is exactly how many are needed for the challenge.

Assault Rifle Eliminations

Assault rifles are the required weapon in this week’s eliminations. Players have the choice of downing a player with another weapon and finishing them with an assault rifle in modes like duos and squads, or just eliminating them immediately in solos. There are a variety of different assault rifles that can be used to accomplish this task. It is highly recommended you don’t use the scoped assault rifle, as the damage is so minimal on the gun that it’s just not as effective as you’d want it to be. It’s probably best to stick with rare (blue) or above. That being said, doing this challenge in the Getaway LTM is the best option, as loot only spawns at rare or above. Here are the weapons to help accomplish the task.

Eliminate Opponents in Tomato Temple

Tomato Temple is a new location in season five. It’s essentially Tomato Town turned into a giant temple grounds to worship the deity Tomato Man. Tomato Temple has quite a few more chests than Tomato Town originally had. There are a total of 10 chests at the location, so there’s ample opportunity to spread out and loot before hunting down opponents to eliminate. Here is a map of every chest location in Tomato Temple.

  1. Top of the temple.
  2. On the far right side, tear down the wall and the chest will be to the in the room.
