Fortnite Season 6 Challenges We’re Bound to Get This Season
Skydiving and Gliding in the Vortex
The biggest change to the map in Fortnite Season 6 was the cube literally tearing Loot Lake island right out of the earth… and water. Suspended in mid-air by the dark, mysterious powers of the cube, the island is now slowly moving its way above the map. To reach the island, you’ve gotta hop into the vortex and use your glider to make your way up. To get back down, it’s a case of skydiving against the current. It’s a hell of a lot of fun, and makes for intense battles with teams using the vortex to catch unsuspecting enemies on the island off-guard.
It got us thinking, though. With the ability to essentially skydive and glide to your heart’s content in Fortnite Season 6, wouldn’t it be neat to get a trick system similar to what we’ve seen with the ATK‘s and shopping carts? Holding down the aim button (L2 or LT) while skydiving could switch you intro trick mode, allowing you to somersault, backflip, and corkscrew your way through the air.
Now you’ve got a neat idea for one of the future Fortnite Season 6 challenges. Earn 500,000 trick points while skydiving, and the Battle Stars are all yours.
Alternatively, should a skydiving trick system be too complicated to implement, the challenge could simply task players with skydiving in the vortex in different matches. Either way, this feels like one of those nice and easy weekly challenges to net you five Battle Stars.
Visit the Three Pigs Houses
One of the more minor additions to the Fortnite Season 6 map are the three 1×1 shacks each constructed of one of the three different materials in the game. The wooden one, found out to the east of Paradise Palms contains one chest, the brick one in the southwest of the map has two, and the metal one right at the north of the map has three. Are these a jovial reference to The Three Pigs? It’d make sense with the likes of Red Riding Hood and the Dire (werewolf) skin having a fairy tale feel about them.
With the three shacks being scattered across the edges of the map, it’s unlikely that the majority of players even know of their existence. Plus, it harks back to the challenge that tasked us with visiting the llama, crab, and fox all those seasons ago. We’d be very surprised if this doesn’t show up at some point in Fortnite’s Season 6 challenges.
