Fortnite: How to get three seconds of air time in a land vehicle

One of the more exciting week 12 challenges in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is aimed at tasking players to secure air time in a land vehicle. For those who enjoy driving around in-game, this is the perfect time for them to showcase their skills as capable drivers.

That said, attaining airtime is not always as easy as it seems. Depending on the layout of the land, a few attempts may be needed to complete the task. Nevertheless, with 16,000 experience points on the line, it's worth the effort.

Step-by-step guide on how to get three seconds of air time in a land vehicle in Fortnite

1) Find any land vehicle

The first step towards completing this challenge is finding a car or bike. Remember that while a truck will also work, it will be difficult to get three seconds of air time due to its size and mass. The best bet is either a Trail Thrasher (Dirt Bike) or a Prevalent/Bear (Car).

While a Whiplash (Car) is probably the best option for this challenge, given how rare it is to find one on the island, it's best to stick to more traditional land vehicles. Nevertheless, for those interested in finding a Whiplash, one can be found at Meadow Mansion, Faulty Splits, Beachy Bluffs, Slap 'N Go, and Beep 'N Bounce.

2) Look for a ramp or cliff

Once a land vehicle has been secured, the next step is to find a cliff or ramp. However, before driving off into the sunset to look for either, remember to re-fuel the vehicle at a gas station or by using a gas can.

Now, finding a ramp or cliff may be challenging depending on where players land and find a vehicle. For this challenge, the best bet would be the Ice/Snow biome. With so many steep hills and uneven terrain, finding a cliff or ramp to drive off won't be a challenge.

3) Accelerate to the maximum and go off the ramp or cliff

Once a suitable location has been found, the final step is to rev up the engine and put the pedal to the metal. Not much can be done to increase air time for those using a car for the challenge. However, those using a bike can perform a few stunts/tricks to stay in the air longer.

Furthermore, for those using a car for a challenge, it's a good idea to modify it using Off-Road Tires to get a better grip while accelerating. That said, avoid adding a Cow Catcher, as it adds a bit of drag to the vehicle and makes it forward-heavy. This will make completing the challenge harder than it has to be.

Best location to find land vehicles in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

Although vehicles can be found all over the island, the best location to find many of them is Slappy Shores. Three Trail Thrashers, Bears, and Prevalent can spawn in the POI. That said, depending on the Battle Bus' route, landing here may pose a challenge.

In normal circumstances, securing this POI is all too easy. However, players must fight tooth and nail to secure the area if it becomes a hot-drop location. The best alternative to this is to land, get in a vehicle, and drive away before the bullets start flying.
