Fortnite: How to deal damage to opponents from above

A brand new installment of Fortnite Seasonal Weekly Quests has arrived and this time around, each challenge provides a 25,000 XP reward. Fortunately, players don't need to grind as much to rise through the ranks as they had to before. These quests follow the same format as previous seasons, with seven different challenges and two additional replacements.

One of these challenges requires players to deal damage to opponents from above. This particular task is perhaps the easiest one on the list as players simply need to find higher ground and inflict a total damage of 500 to enemies. Since it hasn't been mentioned anywhere, players should be able to complete this challenge across different matches.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 provides players with a variety of different weapons that can be used to complete this challenge, so they can use any weapon they desire to do so.

This challenge is pretty straightforward and doesn't require any complex process from players. To complete it, they just need to follow these two steps:

• Finding opponents
• Dealing damage

Finding opponents

With Fortnite being a Battle Royale (BR), players shouldn't have any problems finding an opponent. However, there are a few tips that players can follow to increase their chances of encountering an opponent early on.

Although players can land at any location they prefer, landing in a hotdrop zone improves their chances of finding an opponent as soon as possible. To that end, there are plenty of POIs and landmarks that give players an opportunity to attack from above.

Herald's Sanctum, Chrome Crossroads, and Tilted Towers are good examples of such POIs that allow players to attack enemies from above. Once players land in a hotdrop zone, they need to acquire a weapon of their choice. Although they can use any weapon for this challenge, a versatile weapon like an Assault Rifle will be more effective.

Dealing damage

Once players have acquired a suitable weapon, all that's left to do is deal damage. To complete this challenge, players first need to head to higher ground. They can do so by placing themselves atop buildings or constructing structures like a ramp that is at least two floors high.

Players will need to inflict a total of 500 damage on their opponents. Furthermore, they can also complete this challenge by dealing damage to NPCs located across the Fortnite map. It should be noted that players cannot complete this challenge by dealing damage to the wildlife on the island.

To reach higher ground, players can head to certain landmarks and buildings like No Sweat Insurance that are already airborne. In such a scenario, players will need to use weapons like the Cobra DMR to land shots. Players should note that hitting an opponent on the head adds a headshot multiplier to their damage.

The rarity of the weapon used can also influence the challenge. Fortnite offers players weapons across five different rarities. If players want to inflict higher damage, they can always upgrade their weapons on an upgrade bench to complete the challenge faster.
