Complete Wastelander Challenges in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
**What are Wastelander Challenges?**
Wastelander Challenges are a new type of challenge introduced in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. They are designed to test your skills in the new, vehicle-focused gameplay of the Wrecked map. Accepting a Wastelander Challenge will grant you bonus XP, but you’ll have to contend with a negative ability that will affect your gameplay. These challenges are not for the faint of heart, but they can be a great way to test your limits and earn some extra XP.
**How to Get Wastelander Challenges**
There are a total of six different Wastelander Challenges in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. To get a Wastelander Challenge, you’ll need to head to one of the four Wasteland Beacons located around the map. You can find the locations of the Wasteland Beacons below:
* Beacon 1: Located near Rebel’s Roost POI
* Beacon 2: Located far east of Classy Courts POI at Slumberyard Landmark
* Beacon 3: Located south of Reckless Railways POI at Dumpenhausen Landmark
* Beacon 4: Located south east of Brutal Beachhead POI right under the Megalo Depot Landmark
Once you’re near a Wasteland Beacon, interact with it and read the challenge. If you’re up for it, hit accept to activate the challenge. You can check the progress of your assigned challenge by heading into your inventory.

**How to Complete Wastelander Challenges**
The only way to complete a Wastelander Challenge is to finish the match with a Victory Royale and earn Accolades while the challenge is active. This can be a difficult task, especially if you’re saddled with a negative ability. However, if you’re up for the challenge, here are some tips:
* Choose a challenge that suits your playstyle. If you’re good at staying mobile, you might want to try the Full Throttle challenge. If you’re good at scavenging, you might want to try the Burnin’ Hot Items challenge.
* Play aggressively. The best way to earn Accolades is by taking out opponents and completing objectives.
* Don’t give up. Even if you’re struggling, don’t give up on the challenge. Keep fighting and you might just surprise yourself.
**Rewards**
Completing Wastelander Challenges will grant you bonus XP, and as well as the Wastelander’s Mark wrap. Furthermore, you’ll also get XP from Accolades since they are a key part of each Wastelander Challenge in the game. So, if you’re looking for a new challenge and want to earn some extra XP, give Wastelander Challenges a try.
