Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Week 9 Use IO launchpads

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has brought the old school Fortnite feel back to the game.

This week is set to be one of the busiest weeks that we’ve seen in a long time, with the Ariana Grande concert and Season 7 live event on Friday, followed by the inclusion of Guile and Cammy from Street Fighter on Saturday.

But for now, let’s check out the new week 9 challenges.

Here is how to complete Use IO launchpads.

Use IO launchpads

Launchpads are finally back in Fortnite, and in Season 7 there are now some that are permanently placed, which can be handy when rotating or getting out of a sticky situation.

These IO launchpads can be found at any of the Satellite Stations on the map.

Jump on any of them to complete the challenge.
