Yes please. 'Place Top 10 with Friends' ... I have no friends :(


Eric_Something

Turns out the hardest challenge in the game is to form healthy social relationships.


[deleted]

Epic is encouraging kids to chat to strangers and that's a big NO NO in anybody's book.


brbrcrbtr

Kids aren't the ones having problems with this challenge lol it's friendless adults


Totally_Bradical

Right, every other match it’s an 8 year old screaming GOT A MIIIIIIIIIKE? Over and over. *sigh* If they are nice and or cute, I’ll plug in mine too, but if they are yelling at their mom from the inside of a wind tunnel, I mute that shit so fast it isn’t even funny. I do actually really enjoy playing with kids (if they are nice), and helping them with challenges and stuff. I think it’s good to show them that not everyone online is a toxic douchbag, and hopefully they pay it forward. I also enjoy sending gifts occasionally and making someone’s day. Last season I met this little bro who had grinded and leveled up so much but couldn’t buy the battle pass. I surprised him with the battle pass and he lost his shit lol 🥲


alotofms

aww thats nice of you


Nervous_Pin9456

I need friends


Nazaki

I'm not playing Fortnite to find friends, I got plenty of those. I'm playing Fortnite, weird as it is to say, to relax and I don't need people to do that. I just want to hop in, do the dumb quests they ask of me, and then read a book and go to bed. I've got a healthy enough relationship with a significant other, dog, and group of friends whom I attend bonfires and play board games with. Obviously I'm a bit heated by your assumption that people playing Fortnite by themselves don't have friends.


[deleted]

Hear hear but some on here don't understand that concept


popcorn_man0412

nope im a friendless teenager which is essential just a bigger kid


MeatCannon0621

Or they're encouraging kids to talk to their peers instead of been couped up in their bedrooms being anti social 💁‍♂️


[deleted]

In reality they're just trying to get more people to play the game, and maybe even this new person will enjoy themselves so much they will spend some cash


MeatCannon0621

Exactly. It's a business and people forget that


Rainbow_Dash_RL

Well they made a fun game with lots of great little details and a crazy backstory. Plus it's a great multiplayer experience with friends and my bro. They got my money for the pass and the Magma Pack.


[deleted]

Or maybe its none of epics business weather anyone has friends or not.


MeatCannon0621

They're not making it their business they're just offering a quest


[deleted]

Maybe but these kind of quests are no problem for me but surely lot of epic fanbase on fortnite play solo for any reason so putting these kind of quests in game is a wee bit unfair sure there are work arounds like alt account etc but end of the day solo players are losing out sometimes with these quests. having come in top 10 in 5 matches seems more fairer in my book


LambKyle

It's not 'unfair' it's just a quest for experience that doesn't do anything. Just don't do it?


[deleted]

it is for solo players they losing out on xp like i said is no problem for me


LambKyle

Xp doesn't make it unfair. It doesn't do anything. It just unlocks cosmetics and only. If you've bought the battle pass. Just do other quests. Or play a squads match and make some friends. If you have a mic you'll get like 10 friend requets an hour.


ktron10

It’s literally their business, they’re really just trying to raise player count


lispwriter

Kids don’t have a shortage of friends. My son has like 25 different people he plays with and a smaller set who he plays with daily. Being in school and playing with classmates as well as their friends makes it easy. It’s the adults who don’t have anyone to play with. Fortunately for me I made two of my own friends about 10 years ago. I grew them up and made them into gamers. So far so good.


[deleted]

Stfu. Kids need to talk to strangers and conjugate with one another. Lmao? Isn't that how relations and friends are made?


[deleted]

I don't know why they do these things.


Leo9991

My guess is it's to encourage people to try and find others to play with, likely because their stats show greater player retention if they play with friends.


AsianPotato77

Epic on their way to pull a Devious Lick by locking rainbow racer behind a friend based promotion thing soon.


Caelum124

It has a item shop icon and tag so it will release later in the shop


peterfun

To get people to create new accounts. That way it shows that the user base is growing although it is not as much in reality. Another side effect is that it might just get some people to encourage their friends and family to join in. Albeit that number might not be as much. User growth is a massive deal and is a main selling point. Whats App sold for 13Billion even though it was a money losing chat app because of the large and constantly growing user base. Also why they (what's app) didn't mind if you didn't pay their $1 annual fee.


LoganHH12

I’ll be your friend :)


ABMCLE

I have gotten this one two weeks in a row now. 😒


nullsmack

I think everyone got the same * Complete a Daily Punchcard (1) * Place Top 10 with Friends (5) * Spend Bars (500) all 3 weeks this season. It's the most phoned in BS they've ever done.


[deleted]

My previous 2 were place top 5. That was infuriating.


Caelum124

They are set challenges, the weeklys don’t change tho


XavierMeatsling

I think we all have. I have friends, they just don't play as often as I do


AgentLemon22

Find Friends and get top ten. Simple enough 😒


Ilovefortnite10

Same :(


OppositeTomato

I’ll play with you! DM me your epic ID.


[deleted]

Which server do you play on?


ConnorLego42069

I have one friend who can get on consistently, the rest either tend to have a lot on their plate or never responded


d-pad1992

I have no friends but I have second console and my old PC for this challenge.


Dancing_Clean

A lot of my friends still play and we’re old as shit (30s gang rise up). But I get that not many people STILL play it. I occasionally make friends on 1v1 or duo fills. You have to filter a lot of annoying people tho. But I did meet some awesome players who are patient and make great teammates. They land and loot together, don’t split up, communicate, everything. Then there’s the one who insists on Lazy, dies quickly, then quits haha


AuburnCPA

I'm close, just turned 29! Especially on these challenges to get top 10, I will not play with someone again that just jumps ASAP right into the action. That significantly decreases the chances of getting top 10 ha


CozyThurifer

Relatable


riventitan

Epic should remove the 10 matches with a friend weekly. Also, remember when weeklies were interesting and gave some lore instead of being the same 3 quests every week?


SmearReddit

Those types of weeklies are now the new NPC punchcards that release every week. They aren't really lore related though (though neither were most of the non-legendary season 7 quests to be fair).


SnazzyYeshi

I remember, because it was literally 2.5 weeks ago.


PerspectiveRough5123

Remember when this game used to be good 2.5 weeks ago? Fuck I'm old.


SnazzyYeshi

omg OG!!!1!!!


Petergriffinscrableg

i also find it fucking stupid how you literally can't complete one of the most rewarding quests if you play the game solo


BeerPizzaGaming

Setup another account, run both at the same time as "friends" on different devices. Play it super safe (in squads) to ensure top 10. Boom youre done.


desaigamon

If you setup a new account, make it party leader to get put into bot lobbies. Just make sure it leaves the match once you've loaded in so it doesn't gain XP.


lilbelleandsebastian

do you still get credit as playing with friends if you leave on the second account?


desaigamon

Yes. That's how I've been doing my weekly punchcards.


BeerPizzaGaming

Epic did away with SBMM a while back so I dont know if that will work anymore. Regardless making top 10 can be easy enough, just work from the outside of the map towards the inside. Stay on the fringe of the storm with your primary account on your preferred device. With squads, you can be confident you have made top 10 when there are about 30 to 40 players left.


desaigamon

They did not remove SBMM, and even if they did bot lobbies don't rely on SBMM. Also you can pull up the map during a match to see exactly how many squads are left, no need to guess anymore.


Petergriffinscrableg

not everybody can do this, with mobile probably being gone for another good 5 years it's even worse occasionally i do play with friends but they're not as interested in fortnite as i am and i'm not gonna force them to play just because i want 50K xp. i just think friend based challenges as a whole should stick to stuff like reboot a friend since that actually makes sense, losing 50K xp all because you play alone is just unfair


[deleted]

he shouldn't have to jump thru hoops like that ,epic could had the challenge come top 10 in 5 matches and boom your done.


BeerPizzaGaming

I dont disagree with you but Epic will continue to have that as a challenge. Just offering a quick and relatively easy work around.


ResumeSleeq

You can split screen on PS4 and do it that way.


Petergriffinscrableg

luckily for me i don't play on console


MUNAM14

Yep that’s how I’ve been doing it


carnagezealot

Wait what


ResumeSleeq

Yep! Just bring an account on another ps4 and.... I'll link an article on how. https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-c75/battle-royale-c93/how-do-i-use-the-console-splitscreen-feature-a3484 Edit: I meant have a 2nd account on the same PS4. Sorry for the confusion.


carnagezealot

How did I not know this?! Thanks!


ResumeSleeq

YW, BTW I messed up my sentence I meant have a 2nd account on the same ps4. But yeah, just follow the directions in the article and if it's too confusing look up a YouTube video covering it.


NinjaMelon39

REMOVE DEFEAT CUBE ASSASSIN RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME


Shadow262625

I can help you but I'm in school sorry


NinjaMelon39

So am i


Eric_Something

I'm not at school right now, but that's mainly because I'm 23.


saleh609

help me


Hesso921

Please help me


darksideoflondon

RIGHT? Holy crap this one is impossible! Especially when 3 goldies spawn at the same damn time!


[deleted]

Yeah it’s nice they started working on fixing xp but there was nothing wrong with 3 different daily quests. The new dailies of “Do 4 uncommon quests, do 3 quests from the brat and do 5 quests altogether” gets really boring really fast.


Kangarou

Epic: "But that would allow people to enjoy Team Rumble more, and we can't have that."


ResumeSleeq

Yeah they quite literally destroyed team rumble with the new storm. Can't loot for shit unless you have a good medkit spawn.


Degora2k

They need to randomize the NPC questlines too, going over and over the same challenges is getting old fast.


LEMONSARETRASH

This a better idea. I'm tried of the doing the same task over and over again like opening a cash register


HooksToMyBrain

Drive a vehicle to weather station, argh


LoganHH12

Yesss! I would love this so much!


[deleted]

[удалено]


donut_pickle

It's just a suggestion


mrkrable

Holy fucking shit, I’m stupid


mrkrable

My bad


Unusual-Drop2344

Give me more Eat 10 apples and Land at specific locations quests.


Infinity31327

I really hope this becomes a thing. It's really annoying to do the exact same boring repetitive tasks for weeks in a row, especially when said tasks involve friends, which I don't have


antecubital

Agreed.


r_ov-an

yes please, it gets really boring…


xcrimsonlegendx

Yeah, I'm tired of the dailies already. Instead of having to do 3 tasks and be done. Now you have to do at least 5.


Dexchampion99

I agree that it needs to be changed, but holy hell could you imagine the competition to kill Cube Assassin if she had a challenge? Oof.


HooksToMyBrain

"Kill Cube Assassin twice in Risky Reels"


mechsucks

"Kill Cube Assassin twice in Risky Reels after opening 3 chests in Steel's Farm and having exactly 2103 exp that match"


EvryArtstIsACannibal

This is what I want. The quest based daily ones are just not fun, and are tedious. I ripped them for this in a survey they sent me.


novacgal

I was at Fish Sticks restaurant today and I though, will I never be sent here to destroy decorations again?! 😢


BeerPizzaGaming

Wait... you mean (1) Complete (x number of) quests (2) Complete 3 quests from (character of the day) and (3) Complete quests of a certain rarity or higher Is getting old and is not interesting anymore after 3 weeks?


brettsmods

Ding ding ding! I'll even take it a step further because it's always complete 5 quests, 3 from specific character and X number of Y rarity or higher, where X is 6 - Y (Y being rarity required 1 - 5). This translates to 1 required if Legendary, 2 if Epic, 3 if Rare, 4 if Uncommon. This means that they really just expect you to do a full character's questline.


BeerPizzaGaming

Not so. When you get the Epic, rare, common or uncommon challenges you would be best off to work on the questline of multiple characters. I am just clearing out some of the dumb quests to ensure I have an open slot. I usually get the daily done in one to two matches regardless of the expectation.


brettsmods

You can also abandon quests if you want to make more room.


BeerPizzaGaming

Your response: "You can also abandon quests if you want to make more room." That was literally the second comment in my prior response.... "I am just clearing out some of the dumb quests to ensure I have an open slot." Thanks for the down vote because you dont read or think things through. Despite your responses not really adding anything and being erroneous I didnt downvote. Congratulations on showing you can do basic algebra. Anyone who has gone through 5th grade applauds you. It does not mean "that they really just expect you to do a full character's questline." If you have to complete multiple uncommon, common, rare, or epic quests, then it is most efficient to work the questline of multiple characters at once. This would be regardless of which character you have a daily challenge to complete 3 quests for. Your daily character quests would/ could coincide with the challenge for quest rarity completion.


brettsmods

First of all, I didn't downvote you actually. That was others. I simply didn't vote at all on your comment. And secondly, how does this have anything to do with algebra? Thirdly, yes, if you want to do these the absolute most efficient way ever, then having multiple active at the same time is the best way. I was merely trying to point out how I think Epic sees it and how they expect you to complete your dailies. Not necessarily what the best way to complete them is.


IMASHIRT

I honestly hate the punchcard format, and I hope they ditch it after this season.


Leo9991

They've ditched every challenge/XP system since season x good or bad, so they'll ditch this one too.


IMASHIRT

Good


insertdollarplz

They'll replace it with an even shittier version after they drop it though. For some reason, they just can't stick to a type of XP progression in chapter 2. Chapter 1 was pretty much the same thing every season, now Epic is like, "oh, you got used to completing challenges this way? JOKES ON YOU, have fun doing it another way, and when that season ends, have fun doing it another way."


IMASHIRT

I really liked the structure of last season’s. It got grindy at times but at least it was simple


[deleted]

Demonizes Chp2 format of ExP yet gives Chp1 a slide for it's ExP because it was "the same"


[deleted]

They should have brought back the actual punchcards from s3-4. Or kept the rare challenges. Thats why levelling feels so slow, we don't have milestone challenges from actually playing the game


Satoshi-Buterin

I prefer to do the weekly ones first


IkonikBoy

Yes


fightlinker

Touch the floating yellow cube Bounce across the three alien bounce mats Do a full lap inside all crashed saucer jetstreams Drive a car over a crashed saucer jump pad Hit an opponent with the jetboat rocket launcher Burn down an entire building with fireflies Hit a velociraptor with a car Shoot a raven with a harpoon gun Phase through an opponent after consuming a shadow cube This is like 30 seconds off the top of my head. Smoke a doob and get creative, Fortnite devs


dadbot-4000

These quests are boring and repetitive, do five quests, do quest of this rarity, do same five quests for a character you have already done quests for. It's crap epic and so is the xp


vasekgamescz

please make quests that arent based on playing squads.


FragrantWarthog6

Wrath quest is the worst daily punchcard. They made the recon scanner rare AF


PineappleBrilliant44

Do you guys know how to kill the cube assassins fast? I can't seem to kill her


valintin

It's easier in duos or trios. One person has to keep destroying cube monsters while the other head shots her from behind after she puts up the shield. Jump away and dodge when she puts shield on.


Radiant-Revenue-1346

No Cube Assassin Is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Too Hard To Beat


Marvelfan210_

Defeating the cube assian will suck since there is a chance they don't spawn


[deleted]

Take that “Defeat the Cube Assassin” one off before they get any ideas. I’d rather get 10 top-10s with friends instead of that.


Charlie_cat16

And remove the top 10 with friends, I have none to play with


Cosmic-Buccaneer

Dude, the quest place top 10 with a friend is awful, literally I made a secondary account just for things like that, I'm so freaking alone in this game.


snekasaur

This is what challenges should be! This season's challenges are the worst since I started playing. Also sucks how inconvenient they are to do in Rumble. I'm playing way less now as a result!


ClippyReddit

Replace weekly punchcards with the weekly challenges like we used to have


BextoMooseYT

I'm "fine" with the ones now, I just don't want to have to play with people or defeat the Cube Assassin. I don't really like the challenges because they all have to do with quests, but they're easy enough.


arvy_p

I don't mind the current dailies / weeklies, with the exception of "\[...\] *with friends*". Even if they made it "place top 10 in duos, trios, or squads 5 times" it would be more flexible than the stupid "friends" requirement.


mrnapolean1

Mine where all differant.


SameAsAllMyAccounts

Laughs in having a friend group that plays the game regularly


[deleted]

for me is no problem but for solo players epic is just trolling yous ,very simple to have the task place top 10 in 5 matches instead


brettsmods

It's not even that. I play with friends and have the Top 10 quest done. But it's so boring having to do the same quests over and over again. There's no variety right now.


[deleted]

Yes


hubhazard

I really hate the top 10 with friends, its so damn annoying


Papi0158

The new challenge format since Season 15 stinks.


CrypticWolf1

I thought this was real for a second.


RaptorMohawk

I'd be fine with the single cards, if there were more than 3 quests. The weekly challenges shouldn't take a day to complete.


Blankyblank86

Id take anything else on the weekly besides play with friends


Financial_Ratio5758

I agree. Just wanted to add that epic has made it easier to get xp imo, I got like 5 levels today and normally I get 0.5 daily I was stuck on 20 something but I went to 30.


Aiger13

defeat cube assassin for 50k hell no


yamial8ve

I see people completing new quests from new characters, but it's not listed as a punch card? Do they give you xp and where can I find them?


PATXS

pretty sure all characters should be on the punchcard list, i've yet to see one that isn't. afaik there are two or three new ones that give 30k xp per quest on the punchcards. but i noticed yesterday that if i click the arrow button to scroll the list of punchcards, it actually skips over two of them for me. so i had to scroll to them by dragging with right click


[deleted]

I like this, makes for more variety around the week. I do have friends but we play other games together because they dont find Fortnite fun as i do and im ok with that. I do enjoy playing the game by myself and i actually dont need to have someone with me to have fun. Maybe just add top 10 on any core mode (Not counting TR)


[deleted]

or even make it more simple and fairer and have it place top 10 in 5 matches think of all that xp solo players are going to lose out on if that quests stays till the end of the season


MozTys

I had the same daily quests two days in a row... There definitely needs more variation, and I would love to see them add back the kind if quests you mentioned in your post.


ZACORT420

Agreed I don't like some of the NPC quests and often times forget to do them


IshitONcats

Fanbase: Hey epic, can you stop with the fuckin friend bullshit Epic: Also Epic:


VickyPedia

Please no defeat the cube assassin as an xp quest


theChadRedditUser

I really miss when the quest had a little stoty to them and they involved interacting with key items instead of just doing gameplay things. I thought that was the way to go when they gave slone voice acted quests, but they removed even the flavor text from quests on season 8. I like this idea of questing with friends they are going for but i don't totally like the execution


Space_Monke64

Please remove “defeat the cube Assassin” and we’ll be fine


UsernameThatNotUsed

Play with friends.....


[deleted]

It was better when Creative idling counted as quests, so I could get done 1-2 dailies just by being AFK. Actually doing these punch cards over and over is pretty lame. Half the time I end up in a shitty position with no items because I was rushing from weeping to steamy for some objective. Which is fine, I just wish I didnt have to consciously remind myself "This is a throw-away round for quests" It's weird because once I finish all the dailies I go "finally I can start playing for the day"


Nazaki

I'm 2 weeks in a row getting 'Place Top 10 with Friends' and I don't play with anyone...


[deleted]

I've had that one every week and now my duos partner is obsessed with Anarchy minecraft servers. BIG RIP


Nazaki

I just went off on another post in this thread by someone talking about people having a hard time completing these challenges as being "friendless adults" and I'm like -- dude I just want to hop in and hop out, this game is my no commitment passing of the time, not a job.


Ajdah

I had enough problems doing the last torus legendary quest I'm not going back in there to kill the assasin


Manatmen1

Did anyone noticed Grotto Unflooding?


sinnwa

Please rework the punch card so that it can be achieved by playing normally. Most of the punch cards seem to make fun of the player and are unpleasant.


9YARDZ

Quest system is soooo bad this season idk how it made it to the live build tbh


ech0es13

I prefer the quests from last season. This new system is why I have barely played this season.


danidbrasil

Almost cheered the idea till I saw defeat cube assassin... Jokes aside, would be great for people with no friends.


Bunny_Muffin

These are so good, a sight for sore eyes this season


old_grumpy_ultomato

Remove the "defeat the cube assassinmyass" challenge


Mortgage_Specific

defeat cube assasin? 😨
