Fortnite is coming to a close on weekly challenges soon, with Week 9 challenges coming out today. Fortnite seasons usually last an average of 10 weeks of challenges then the rest of the season usually gets filled with other challenges and events. However this season isn’t supposed to end until mid March so who knows what will happen. Below, we’ll go over how to complete these challenges.

Fortnite Season 5 Week 9 Epic Challenges

Fortnite Epic Challenges this week seem to be some sort of investigation challenges it would seem from shaking down an IO Guard to finding a hidden bunker and finding the black box of a crashed plane.

Like the last few weeks of the season’s challenges, these Epic Challenges are are arranged into two different sets and you must complete one challenge in a set to unlock the next.

  • Stage 1: Shakedown an IO Guard
  • Stage 2: Find a hidden bunker
  • Stage 3: Find the black box of the crashed plane
  • Stage 1: Deal damage while in water – 200 damage
  • Stage 2: Emote at stone statues
  • Stage 3: Ride the Steamy Stacks
  • Stage 4: Deal damage to a loot shark – 500 damage

Shakedown an IO Guard

For this challenge you’re going to need to isolate one of the IO Guards, before you eliminate the last one. If you don’t shakedown the second IO Guard you know, you will have to encounter another group because the last guard will not be knocked down, only eliminated.

Personally, I don’t see the point in shaking down an IO Guard due to the fact you can almost always see the other IO Guards but a challenge is a challenge.

Find a Hidden Bunker

The hidden bunker you’re going to be looking for is located on one of the islands. This island is the home of Splode.

Splode is an NPC that you can purchase the Boom Sniper and Rocket Launcher from. The Boom Sniper is one of this seasons unique mythic weapons.

You won’t see the bunker by just walking around this island. You’re going to have a clear a few obstacles such as rocks and wood pallets near this smaller shack, shown above, opposite of where you can find Splode.

Find the Black Box From Crashed Plane

We can assume that the black box mentioned is about the plane that’s been on the Season 2 island since it began. This plane can be located at the east part of Coral Castle, shown below.

Fortnite: Week 9 Deal Damage While in Water

This part of the challenge can most likely be completed as soon as you start your match by letting the bus kick you off and falling with the idle players and eliminate them while in the water. Otherwise, just by playing or going to a location such as Coral Castle should also help you complete this challenge without a problem.

Luckily, for the part of the challenge damaging a loot shark, as well as players, counts progress.

Emote at Stone Statues

The stone statues you’ll be looking for in this part of the challenges are located at Coral Castle and Colossal Coliseum, shown below at Coral Castle.

For this part of the challenge you’re going to have to go to Steamy Stacks and go for a ride on your glider by using one the stacks to fly away.

Simply jump into one of the Stacks towering above the named location and the challenge will be completed. You can even jump into one of the Steamy Stacks straight from the battle bus and just carry on elsewhere if you don’t choose to actually land here.

Fortnite Week 9: Deal Damage to a Loot Shark

For this part of the challenge, you’re going to want to visit a named location that’s pretty close to the water such as Dirty Docks or Coral Caste and you’ll be sure to encounter a Loot Shark.
