Fortnite Season 5 Week 9 Challenges: Follow The Treasure Map In Shifty Shafts

Earlier this morning we posted about the seven stone head locations in Fortnite and where you can find them in order to complete the challenge. Now, we’ve got a magnificent cheat sheet that includes all of the weekly challenges, courtesy of TheSquatingDog on Reddit.

This week’s challenges are:

  • Deal damage with Explosive Weapons to opponents (0/500)
  • Get Trick Points in a Shopping Cart or ATK (0/150,000)
  • Follow the treasure map found in Shifty Shafts
  • Stage 1: Search a Chest in Haunted Hills
  • Stage 2: Shifty Shafts
  • Stage 3: Lazy Links
  • Stage 4: Tilted Towers
  • Stage 5: Risky Reels
  • Visit different Stone Heads (0/7)
  • Assault Rifle Eliminations (0/5)
  • Eliminate opponents in Tomato Temple (0/3)

The cheat sheet pictured above covers all you need to know for every single challenge. It’s a godsend that Epic have returned to the tiered format for searching chests as it means one specific location won’t be full to the brim with players all trying to complete the challenge at once.

Getting 150,000 trick points with an ATK or shopping cart may seem daunting at first but don’t worry, that’s not actually that much. Take off from a few ramps, add in a barrel roll and you should be able to complete the challenge without many issues as long as you land on all four wheels and don’t mess it up.

With the explosive damage, it’s not too difficult as long as you’re hanging onto all of your grenades, clingers, and remote explosives. Grenade launchers and rocket launchers count too so you could become a fully fledged demolition player if you find enough good stuff.

Don’t forget, if you’re still trying to do some of the challenges from earlier this season we’ve got an index here that covers every single one.

In other Fortnite news this week, there’s been a whole bunch of leaks with yesterday’s update including skins, emotes, gliders… along with pets, weapon skins and music packs?! Plus you can read all of the official patch notes here including rarity changes for a bunch of different weapons and an assault rifle buff.
