How to complete the Week 1 challenges
Some of the challenges are easier to complete than others. Picking up legendary items and applying shields, for instance, shouldn’t be too much of a task.
The ‘stage’ challenges for the first week are also fairly straightforward, land in different locations and search different items (although it might take you a while to track down a Llama!
Cosy Campfires are classed as a ‘trap’ item that restore health over a period of time when placed on a flat surface. You’ll need to restore a total of 150 health to complete the challenge, which will mean using more than one of the items.
For the streetlights challenge, you can check out our in-depth guide which includes a map of all of the known locations, and more than enough to complete the task.
If you complete all seven of these challenges you will unlock the first bonus challenge of the season. You can find our guide to finding the first hidden Battle Star for the Hunting Party challenge here.
When working through your challenges, remember to complete every game before returning to the lobby. Leaving before you have been eliminated or picked up the victory royale could result in your challenge progress being incorrectly applied.
