How to detonate a gas can to destroy objects in Fortnite – Chapter 3 Season 1<\/h2>\n

Once you’ve obtained a gas can, the completion of the challenge is very simple. You’ll just need to mind your distance as to not take any damage in the process.<\/p>\n

Find any destroyable object (something small like a wooden box works best), drop your gas can next to the object, back away to a safe distance, and shoot the gas can until it explodes. You’ll only need to destroy two objects to complete the challenge, so placing the gas can in a doorway of a house is an easy way to complete it all in one shot.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve completed the challenge, you’ll unlock 25,000 XP for your battle pass and cross-off another Week 4 challenge. Here’s what the tasks look like in action.<\/p>\n
