Fortnite’s yearly and spooky Fortnitemares<\/a> event features weekly challenges<\/a> that give players some cool and unique rewards for completing them. Some challenges are more challenging than others, and this week’s challenge requires players to find and destroy some Jack-o-Lanterns with a ranged weapon.<\/p>\n

So if you’re keen on completing this challenge and want to know the locations of these spooky Jack-O-Lanterns, then keep reading as we will be guiding you through where to find each of them and provide some tips on destroying them with a ranged weapon. <\/p>\n

Fortnite – Where to find Jack-o-Lanterns with a ranged weapon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because the Jack-o-Lanterns tend to spawn outside of homes or businesses, the Greasy Grove, The Joneses, and Tilted Towers are considered to be the best places in Fortnite to find Jack-o-Lanterns. Once you’ve landed in one of these areas, explore the area and look for pumpkins in front of these structures.<\/p>\n

Although there aren’t as many as we had hoped, if you keep looking, you’ll eventually find the required amount that you need to destroy, which is five. The Jack-o-Lanterns themselves stand out from the surrounding game environment, are orange, and come in various sizes, but they are still difficult to miss.<\/p>\n

It’s a good idea to do this at the start of a match because other players will also be trying to destroy Jack-o-Lanterns for their quests. And while you can also find the Jack-o-Lanterns in more hot POIs, the locations mentioned above won’t have as many enemies roaming the area, and your only competition for completing the challenge will be other players. <\/p>\n

Fortnite – How to destroy Jack-o-Lanterns with a ranged weapon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You might think that a ranged weapon must have a scope, like a sniper rifle, but in Fortnite, any gun qualifies as a ranged weapon. This makes completing this quest much easier because you should be able to destroy Jack-o-Lanterns with anything from a Hammer Assault Rifle to a Cobra DMR or even a Sidearm Pistol as long as you’re firing from a decent distance.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve located a Jack-o-Lantern, you must fire your ranged weapon at it. As mentioned previously, after doing this five times, you’ll complete this quest, earning 15,000 XP and a free Spray in the process. <\/p>\n

And everything you need to know to find and destroy the Jack-o-Lanterns in Fortnitmares 2022<\/a> using a ranged weapon. <\/p>\n
