A new season of Fortnite means a whole new slate of quests to help you grind your way through the battle pass–and you’re gonna need it, because progression through the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 battle pass is much slower than it was last season. With these quests to give you a boost, and with this guide to help you get through those quests as quickly as possible, you’ll have that Dark Voyager skin at the end of the pass in no time. Relatively speaking.
There’s a major complicating factor that will make it a little more difficult to complete some quests right now at the start of the season. The new method of arriving at the island by surfing in from the ocean means you don’t really get much choice in where you land. Fortunately, there aren’t a ton of quests that require you to visit specific places–but there are a couple of them. There’s no need to sweat that too much, though, because the battle bus should be back on December 4, at which point you may be able to quest normally once again.
With the disclaimers out of the way, let’s take a look at the quests.
Battle Bus quests – 10K XP
These quests are related to the season story, which began with the battle bus being blown out of the sky. Since the lack of a Battle Bus is just a temporary thing, these quests are time-limited and will go away forever on December 8. A second set of these quests will be added on December 4, when the battle bus is repaired.
Battle Bus quests award 10k XP each, and you’ll additionally earn an emote for completing three of them, and vehicle wheels for completing six of them.
Rebuild the Bus quests
Search containers to find and collect 20 bus parts
Whenever you open any kind of loot container, like a chest or an ammo box, there’s a chance that a bus part will pop out in addition to the normal loot. Simply collect 20 of them when that happens.
Destroy 35 objects of structures while in a vehicle
Use a car or golf cart to break stuff. Things like fences and tables are easiest, as Fortnite vehicles aren’t great at driving through buildings or trees without a cow catcher.
Collect 4 Battle Bus wheels at Pump N Run gas stations
The gas stations around the island this season have garages attached to them, and it’s in those garages where you’ll find the wheels you’re looking for.
Hit an opponent while in a Hot Air Balloon
Chapter 7 added a new form of public transit to the island in the form of the Hot Air Balloons which rotate between a series of stations. To complete this one, you just need to shoot any enemy, whether player or NPC, a single time while you’re in one of the balloons.
Talk to Dummy about the Battle Bus destruction
The crash-test dummy NPC is hanging out in Ripped Tides, and he’s easy to find because he’s standing next to the wreckage of the battle bus. Completing this one requires you to interact with him and click through his quest dialogue.
