Every week for the last few seasons now, I’ve been posting the leaked challenges for the upcoming week of Fortnite. Without fail, leakers are able to extract them from the game, but this time, something is…amiss.
Here are what are supposed to be the leaked challenges for season 6, week 8 of Fortnite:
Free Challenges
- Place Traps (0/10)
- Search chests in Wailing Woods (0/7)
- Shotgun Eliminations (0/4) [HARD]
Battle Pass Challenges
- Deal damage with a pickaxe to opponents (0/250)
- Use a Rift at different spawn locations (0/10)
- Search between three Oversized Seats (0/1) [HARD]
- Stage 1: eliminate an opponent at Greasy Grove (0/1) [HARD]
Does anything look wrong with those to you? Well, the era of the rift is now over in Fortnite, for one, and we also haven’t seen a “search between” challenge since season 6 began, not to mention the one that is shown is a repeat.
But actually, they’re all repeats.
The list that’s being circulated as the leaked season 6, week 8 challenge list is actually the season 5, week 8 challenge list that’s being passed off as new. Try as I might, and I spent about forty minutes trying to track down an actual list of leaked challenges, I cannot find any for this week that look remotely correct. Sometimes we have leaked challenges that end up getting replaced or shuffled around at the last minute, but these are just straight up ripped from last season.
As such, I genuinely have no idea what to expect in two days when the challenges reset. This is I think the first time this has happened in several seasons, so I’m not exactly sure what Epic has done to fool leakers this time around and/or block them from actual, substantive leaks. Leaks have become a huge part of Fortnite culture with the game’s biggest leakers amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, and yet things could be changing.
Fortnite‘s challenges have been pretty awful lately, and I am really upset that we haven’t gotten a single treasure map or search between challenge all season, as those were always fun to write guides for and hunt down. Hopefully those will return in the future, but I’m not going to hold my breath for the rest of season 6. I guess we’ll have to figure out the challenges for ourselves when they go live, or perhaps they’ll arrive in a new patch today or tomorrow, and I can update this article.
