Fortnite Week 5 Challenges Aren't Working, Delayed Until Thursday 31st
By Ford James ·
Fortnite's Week 5 challenges were due out this morning, but they're unavailable. Epic Games have announced they're delayed until Thursday.
Last season, Fortnite challenges came out every Thursday, but when season four rolled around, they moved to release every Tuesday. Epic Games are looking to revert back to Thursdays, as this week's challenges have been delayed for two days, leading to mass confusion among players on both Twitter and Reddit. Epic were swift to provide an update via Twitter though, tweeting the following:
KNOWN ISSUE: Week 5 challenges available in 0 seconds.
— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 29, 2018
Week 5 challenges will be available on 05/31 at 4am ET/8am GMT.
This was an intended change to push back Weekly Challenges to Thursdays.
So for those of you looking to rush through the challenges as soon as they come out, you'll have to wait another two days unfortunately. Thankfully though, you can get in all the preparation you need as the challenges were leaked early by FortniteTracker.com and you can check them out below.
Update v4.3 is due this week, so we'll likely see that either tomorrow or when the challenges go live on Thursday. In it, expect the new Shopping Carts that were teased yesterday, and potentially some nerfs or buffs to existing items and weapons. The map has been gradually changing over the course of the season too, with the Tilted Towers crater being filled in, along with the hop rocks moving to inside trucks.
In other Fortnite news, PUBG are suing Epic Games in Korea, and Matt 'Nadeshot' Haag has confirmed 100Thieves are going to pick up a competitive Fortnite team. Keep your eyes peeled on Twin Galaxies over the next few days as we will have guides out to completing the week five challenges as soon as possible.
