We have finally reached week 7. If you’ve completed every week thus far completely, this week’s challenges will reward you with the Road Trip challenge secret character. Thankfully, most of this week’s challenges are a piece of cake. We say most, as there remains one considerably harder challenge amongst the rest. It’s still fairly doable, but can be a bit hectic and a little irritating. Without further hesitation, let’s take a look at the challenges for week seven of season five.
Visit different Named Locations in a single match
For this challenge, you simply need to go to four different named locations. This can easily be done in 50v50 considering the map is normally split in two and nobody will really bother you going from one place to another. If that’s not really what you fancy, doing this in any other normal mode is easily accomplishable as well. The best places to do this are up north. Going from Junk Junction to Haunted Hills, traveling over to Pleasant park and finally over to Loot Lake will give you this challenge complete. You could also start at Lonely Lodge, make your way to Wailing Woods, head northwest to Risky Reels, and end at Tomato Temple. Really any four locations will accomplish the challenge, but these seem to be the closest locations without too much distance between each other.
Search Supply Drops
This can be considered the hard challenge of this week. There are two ways to accomplish this task; both are tedious in their own ways. The first way to get three supply drops would be to play 50v50. As long as you’re in the circle, supply drops will fall from the sky a lot more often than they would in any other match. Landing in the circle immediately and waiting on supply drops can hopefully get you what you need. It may take a few matches, but the goal is accomplishable. The only issue doing this method is the plenty of other players challenging you on who gets the drop first.
The other method for accomplishing this goal would be to play standard matches of solos, duos, or squads. Sit on the outside of the map when you first drop, and always stick to the outside of each circle. Other players normally tend to stick to the more central areas, so there’s more of a chance you’re likely to get a supply drop to fall down somewhere relatively close. Other players could be doing the same thing, so being on your guard is necessary. What makes this method tedious is how considerably boring the match is waiting for the circle to move, or even for supply drops to fall. You’ll need a total of three, they are cumulative and do not all need to be collected in one match.
SMG Eliminations
This is just about as easy as challenges come. Getting SMG eliminations should be something you do on a regular basis. The best times to use an SMG are when you first land at the beginning of the match. Most enemies who land with you do not have shields, so you only need to worry about getting the elimination. Of course, it can be even easier downing an opponent in duos, squads, or 50v50 with another weapon and finish them with an SMG. Here are the weapons you need to be on the lookout for.
Deal damage to opponents structures with Remote Explosives
This challenge sounds daunting, but thankfully it’s not as bad as it sounds. Remote Explosives are the C4 looking explosive that can be thrown down with the right trigger and detonated with the left trigger. When going for this challenge, not only do the structures damaged by the explosive count, but any structure that is destroyed due to gravity will also count towards the challenge. That being said, doing this in soaring 50’s is easy. Landing on the enemy side and waiting for them to build up before placing the explosive and destroying it should get you relatively close or even complete the challenge on the first go. But even just playing any game mode and using the remote explosives to destroy the opponent’s structures will count.

Eliminate Opponents in Lazy Links
The final challenge for this week asks you to eliminate three opponents in Lazy Links. This challenge is sure to be easy, but could also prove difficult, as there are few chests, and floor loot is more spread out than at other locations. Here is a small map of the chests in the center of Lazy Links to help you get armed.

Secret Battle Star Location
After you finish all of this week’s challenges, you’ll once again be presented with a loading screen. As always the loading screen will pinpoint the exact location of the secret battle star. Here is what this week’s loading screen looks like.
Locating the secret battle star in this image seems very difficult. That would be because the icon is so transparent it’s next-to-impossible to see. If you cannot see it, you’ll notice the location is the motel. This is the same motel directly west of Lazy Links. The battle pass star is on a wall in between the turned over truck and the main building. If you need some help locating said star, here is a map.
