Get your throwing arm ready for this week’s Fortnite challenges
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 Week 8 challenges are here and they really want you to throw stuff this week. I’m not entirely sure why the team is suddenly so obsessed with it, but all of the challenges – but one – require you to throw stuff during matches. Still, it’s a nice and easy way to earn 16,000 XP for each challenge, along with additional XP rewards for completing multiple challenges.
Keep in mind that you only have seven days from the start of Chapter 4 to complete these challenges, so you’ll want to get started as soon as possible.
Fortnite Challenges: Throw Something (1)
See? Told you they wanted you to throw things. This can be pretty much anything but a weapon. Grenades, fireflies and even fruits and vegetables will meet the conditions for this.
Fortnite Challenges: Throw something within five seconds after damaging an opponent (1)
Why this challenge and the previous one had to be separate is a mystery, but it makes getting both at once easy. Make sure you have a roll in your hotbar when going into a fight. Once you get the elimination, quickly switch and throw him away.

Fortnite challenges: hide in different bushes that you threw down (2)
If you missed it in the last Fortnite update, one of the items we now have access to is the bush bomb. This item will do exactly what you expect it to and spawn a bush in front of you to hide in. Find and hide in two bush bombs in any match to complete this challenge.
This is a harder challenge, but one you can still use throwable items for if you’re up for it. In truth, it’s best to try to get an elimination right at the start of a match, since your opponent probably doesn’t have good gear to defend against. Try to land as close to people as possible and charge in with your pickaxe.
Fortnite Challenges: Use Chug Splash, Grenades and Fireflies (10)
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that these are all throwable items. They’re a bit harder to find than random fruits and veggies, but if you keep looting, you should come across Chug Splash and grenades in chests on a regular basis. Fireflies are a bit different as you can snag them in the wild if you see a group of them fluttering around. This is a four-tier challenge though, so you’ll need to throw a lot of stuff to complete everything.
Fortnite Challenges: Finish all but first in different matches (1)
In last week’s Fortnite Weekly Challenges, I claimed it was the easiest challenge ever. However, it appears to have been surpassed by this one just a week later.
You’re not reading this wrong, all you have to do for this challenge is THROW the match…like losing on purpose…get it? So feel free to jump into a match, die instantly, finish in 99th place and complete this challenge. It’s also a four-tier challenge, so you can get a ton of easy XP from it.
