Tips and tricks

  • You can deal damage to any structures made by opponents, including the ones they’ve abandoned. If you go to a place with many structures but no players, you can safely take them down with your pickaxe to progress through the challenge and save ammo or items.
  • Dancing on top of towers or landing in some areas is easier if you drop there in the beginning of the match. Just don’t expect to get out of there alive, since some players always lurk around these areas to eliminate anyone doing the challenge.
  • If you want to eliminate opponents from closer than five meters, you’ll have an easier time with a Shotgun or a Submachine Gun. They can melt down enemies from up close.
  • Remember that the only suppressed weapons available in standard modes are Suppressed Assault Rifles (Epic and Legendary) and Suppressed Pistols (Rare and Epic).
  • Wailing Woods has many chests spread below the trees, not only in the center of the area. Paradise Palms has many buildings filled with chests.

Players who complete all seven challenges of week five or those who complete any five sets of weekly challenges will unlock the secret Battle Star challenge.
