Landing tricks with a vehicle is easier now that Fortnite has slipstreams. You can go into them while on a vehicle to let the air flow carry you so you can get air time and do tricks inside it. Otherwise, you can also look for ramps and hills to jump off of. Remember that you can only destroy opponent structures with the Quadcrasher and The Baller.

The Flying Disc toy is a special emote you should unlock once you reach Battle Pass tier 35. You can use it from your emote wheel at any time during the match to catch it again.

For the explosive weapon eliminations, remember that you need to use weapons only, which means only the Grenade Launcher, the Boom Bow, and the Rocket Launcher will let you progress through this challenge. They’ll also count for the challenge of dealing damage with different weapons in a single match, which you can complete easily by going into Team Rumble or any mode with respawning enabled for more chances of dealing damage to your opponents.

After you’re done with all these, you should unlock the week three loading screen and be able to find and grab a secret Battle Star in your next match.
