Summary
Fortnite’s introduction of Wastelander Challenges in Chapter 5 Season 3 has brought about a new way for players to stack the odds against themselves in exchange for higher XP gain, so long as they bring home the Victory Royale crown. With a set of Wastelander Challenges inFortniteproving difficult for most, perhaps these tips will give players what theyneed to conquer.
One of the Wastelander Challenges, Perma-Damage, forces players to seek health and shield through other means, as all healing items will be disabled, meaning no medkits, medallions, or shield potions can save them. Yet, there’s still a bounty of ways to come out on top.
5Know The Unusable Items
Learn What Items Are Disabled To Not Waste Inventory Space
It’s important to know what items players cannot use during the perma-damage challenge, as to avoid them picking something up and finding hope, only for it to be shattered the moment it shows as disabled.The following items are unusable, meaning players can carry them, but not use them, so just avoid them altogether:
By knowing what players can’t use, it might aid them going forward with this challenge, as they can avoid this set all together and pretend they do not exist. Meanwhile, what they can focus on is Shield Kegs and Slurp Cacti.
4Hire Triage Trooper
Located at Rescue Station
For 200 Gold Bars, players can hire the Medic Specialist, Triage Trooper,located at Rescue Station. This is a great idea for players who just can’t live without their healing items, as Triage Trooper will throw Chug Splashes at them when they require healing or shields. The Medic Specialist can throw 2 of them before entering a cooldown, so try not to overwork them.
Rescue Station is also a landmark, meaning it’s going to be a quiet spot to land at and acquire him, so try and head here first for the extra back-up, and then grab the Wastelander Challenge, knowing that there’s an AI teammate to aid in both battle and healing.
3Stick to the South of the Map For Slurp Cacti
The South of the Map Has Healing Options
Across the desert biomes found south of theFortniteChapter 5 Season 3 map, players willfind Slurp Cacti in abundance. There are over 80 of these cacti, and players can run into them or hit them to see their Chug Splash effects benefit them, providing them with the same health or shield that a Chug Splash would.
By sticking to this zone, players will have an easy way to heal themselves if they need it, as they can simply retreat when low on health and head to these areas. They are so common in the South area of the map, that players will not struggle to find them, especially since they regrow after 20 seconds.
2Stay Inside Vehicles
Vehicles Offer Protection With Great Health and Movement
Fortnite: Wrecked is all about vehicles and the combat within them. As players roam the map, be sure to look out for vehicles, and try to remain inside one if possible. Vehicles offer great layers of protection due to the fact that their durability has beenbuffed significantly, meaning other players are going to have to deal almost 2,000 points worth of damage.
Meanwhile, players inside the vehicle can retreat to safety, running over repair crates to instantly bring their vehicles to full speed. The abundance of vehicle mods also adds layers of weaponry, allowing those that stay inside the vehicle to keep themselves safe and annihilate those without a car.
1Avoid Combat
Play it Safe by Avoiding Confrontation
It’s a simple trick, but an effective one. If players truly don’t want to lose a game of Battle Royale with this Wastelander Challenge equipped, then avoid the fight altogether. Players can easily reach the top 10, and even first place, if they avoid fighting until absolutely necessary. The best way to proceed is to act like a ghost, hiding behind natural structures and buildings without moving a muscle orfiring a shot.
Avoid coming into contact with other teams and stay hidden unless they are weak from another fight. If they are weak, and players are confident in their ability, feel free to eliminate them and send them back to the lobby. Try to aim for first place by doing as little as possible, taking out the final team after they have just defended their spot and are in need of heals themselves.
