Fortnite Week 2 Challenge List: Air Vents, Pistol Damage, And More (Season 9)
Season 9 of Fortnite kicked off on May 9, bringing a new Battle Pass and a bunch of fresh cosmetics to unlock with it, and resetting the weekly challenge rotation. By now it should all be second nature to you, but on the off chance you’re new to the game, here’s the skinny: To unlock the rewards that are part of the Battle Pass, you’ll need to do the weekly challenges. These award you Battle Stars, which level up the pass and grant access to items attached to the various tiers.
What makes it slightly more complicated is that there are two kinds of passes. The first is a free version available to everyone. The second is a special one you need to pay V-Bucks to get. If you cough up the cash, you’ll get more challenges on a weekly basis, which naturally means more Battle Stars and unlocks.
Week 2’s challenges are now available and, in large part, are pretty easy to complete. The one that may give you a bit of trouble is exclusive to the premium pass and asks players to “visit an oversized Phone, a big Piano, and a giant Dancing Fish trophy.” If that’s confusing, don’t worry about it, we’ll have a guide for it up shortly. You can see the remaining challenges below.
Free
- Launch off of Air Vents in different matches (5) — 5 Battle Stars
- Stage 1: Land at Snobby Shores (1) — 1 Battle Star
- Eliminate opponents in Sunny Steps or Shifty Shafts — 10 Battle Stars
Premium
- Deal damage with Pistols to opponents (500) — 5 Battle Stars
- Visit an oversized Phone, a big Piano, and a giant Dancing Fishy trophy (1) — 5 Battle Stars
- Search a chest in different named locations in a single match (3) — 10 Battle Stars
- Stage 1: Eliminate an opponent from at least 50m away (1) — 3 Battle Stars
Fortnite’s v9.01 patch arrived on May 15 and added the tactical assault rifle to the game, which is handy because John Wick has made an appearance in the game, and we all know he loves a good assault rifle. Make sure to check out all the new skins and other unlocks to see what you could earn for keeping up with weekly tasks. If you need a hand with Week 1’s challenges, head over to our Fortnite Season 9 full challenge guide.
This week also marks the arrival of a John Wick limited-time mode. You can unlock some cool rewards that have been plucked straight out of the movies, but you’ll have to work for them by completing the Wick’s Bounty LTM challenges.

Fortnite John Wick’s Bounty LTM Arrives: Skin, Challenges, And More Detailed
To coincide with the release of John Wick 3, Epic Games has launched an event that brings the stoic assassin to Fortnite, allowing players to unlock a number of cool customization options that will proudly show off their love of the film series. The Wick’s Bounty LTM is live now on all platforms, as are the challenges that will get you the rewards.
Said rewards include Back Bling styled after the Gold Coin the assassins in the world of John Wick use as currency, the one Shot Glider, and the Boogeyman Wrap. Those are all free, but if you spend some V-Bucks in the in-game shop, you can also get the John Wick outfit and the Simple Sledge Pickaxe.
The LTM involves taking out enemies for coins. However, the more enemies you kill, the more obvious you become to remaining players, which means the bigger the target on your back. This fits nicely with the overall plot of John Wick 3, which sees the character fighting for his life thanks to a bounty that has been placed on his head. You can see the details for the LTM below, as well as the challenges and the rewards.
