So far, there are four clocks players can visit to finish this task. In Junk Junction, there is a corner with a clock on the ground that players will have to stand on in order to have it count. East of Fatal Fields in Paradise Palms is a sundial on a mountain. Neo Tilted has a digital clock tower in the southwest section. Sunny Steps has a sundial-looking clock that looks almost like a smiley face in the center that will also count toward the challenge. Check the map below for the locations. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 week 8 clock map\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet1.cbsistatic.com\/img\/20pVfni0ED5ee5vCRE0PvmzJjqQ=\/1092x0\/2019\/06\/27\/1b4250c4-9a16-4cdb-81a6-58b8d7d5f8de\/fortnite-season-9-clock-map-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 week 8 clock map\" \/><figcaption>\nThe locations of the four clocks for the Fortnite season 9, week 8 challenge.<\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>How to eliminate 7 opponents in Snobby Shores or Mega Mall \u2014 10 Battle Stars<\/h3>\n<p>Of the two locations, Mega Mall will have more players available to eliminate as the new areas tend to be the busiest spots. If you stop here at the start of a match, it&#039;s vital to find a weapon quickly. Once you have a weapon, taking down other players scrambling to get their own gun will be easy. Snobby Shores will be less busy, but more chests will be available to gear up and eliminate whoever else shows up. <\/p>\n<h3>How to deal 200 damage to opponents with Assault Rifles \u2014 10 Battle Stars<\/h3>\n<p>Assault Rifles are easy to find, and luckily, they can do good damage from almost any distance. Getting up close and personal will quickly rack up the 200 points or keep your distance to build up those numbers. <\/p>\n<h3>Land at Paradise Palms, Neo Tilted, Mega Mall, Pleasant Park and Junk Junction \u2014 5 Battle Stars<\/h3>\n<p>This challenge is straight forward. Simply plan to land at Paradise Palms, Neo Tilted, Mega Mall, Pleasant Park and Junk Junction in different matches. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite air vent\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/BP1yiYMkgCWGvvvfZZLDz70L44c=\/1092x0\/2019\/06\/27\/7e289bd3-90d1-48ab-b36e-cad4004d8385\/fortnite-20190627092538.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite air vent\" \/><figcaption>\nAn air vent for the Fortnite season 9, week 8 challenge.<\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Usa a volcano vent, air vent and a zipline in a single match \u2014 10 Battle Stars<\/h3>\n<p>Volcano vents are found all around Pressure Plant while air vents are primarily located in Neo Tilted, Mega Mall or on sky platforms. As for the ziplines, they can be found around the northwest, northeast and southwest parts of the island. The ideal strategy is to start off west of Sunny Steps where a zipline will take you straight down to the volcano. Search for a volcano vent and make a beeline to Mega Mall for an air vent.<\/p>\n<h3>How to complete 5 eliminations outside of named locations \u2014 10 Battle Stars<\/h3>\n<p>While most of the action early in the match takes place in named locations, when the storm begins to close in, players will have to move from those spots. As they travel away from the storm circle, you can rack up eliminations for this challenge, making this task easy to complete as long as you can survive late into the match. <\/p>\n<p>Epic on Monday revealed the start date for the Fortnite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/news\/14-days-of-summer\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">14 Days of Summer event<\/a>. Starting on Tuesday, players got access to new challenges, limited time modes (LTMs) and unvaulted weapons each day. One of the LTMs returning for 14 Days of Summer is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-adds-john-wicks-house-and-challenges\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">John Wick&#039;s Bounty<\/a> mode that came out around the time of the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/john-wick-chapter-3-parabellum-review-keanu-takes-a-bite-of-glorious-action\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Data miners found the 14 Days of Summer challenges in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-chug-splash-neon-triangle-and-new-drum-gun-leaked\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">v9.30 update <\/a>released last Tuesday. Completing challenges will earn players sprays, toys and other in-game content. <\/p>\n<h3>Dance at 6 different beach parties<\/h3>\n<p>Added at the start of the 14 Days of Summer were several beach party spots across the map. Contrary to the name, these beach parties are not at all near the beach. Be on the lookout for umbrellas, balloons and folding chairs indicating the party. The map below will show the six locations. Head over to each one, do a dance and you&#039;ll receive the Dive In emote. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 beach party\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/_m2fmftLfZQBwkPivOT0VuJRRmU=\/1092x0\/2019\/06\/26\/cda5786c-4ff1-4584-9741-2fd176281d66\/fortnite-season-9-beach-party-map-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 beach party\" \/><figcaption>\nThe map locations of the six beach parties on the island for the Fortnite 14 Days of Summer challenge.<\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Bounce a giant beach ball in 5 different matches <\/h3>\n<p>There are three giant beach balls on the island. One is just south of The Block, another is west of Dusty Divot and the third is on the northwest road in Paradise Palms. Bouncing a ball simply means run up to it and bump it. Hopefully, you&#039;ll get their first before other players bounce the ball farther away. A new summer-themed loading screen is the prize for those players who complete the challenge.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 beach ball days of summer\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet4.cbsistatic.com\/img\/b5NyCKYStNX-B5dYQ2sLi2S4-XE=\/1092x0\/2019\/06\/26\/51f1f261-d3d8-4524-8fa4-f0f73d0cd759\/fortnite-season-9-map-beach-ball.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 beach ball days of summer\" \/><figcaption>\nThe map locations for the three beach balls to complete the 14 Days of Summer challenge. <\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>5 Eliminations with the daily unvaulted weapon or a Drumgun<\/h3>\n<p>Each day of 14 Days of Summer will have another weapon unvaulted. So far it&#039;s been the Quad Launcher, Burst Assault Rifle and the Light Machine Gun, but they&#039;re only available for 24 hours. Find one of these weapons or the Drumgun then take out five other players to complete this challenge and receive the Water Balloon toy. <\/p>\n<h3>Thank the Bus Driver and finish Top 20 in 5 different matches<\/h3>\n<p>The latest 14 Days of Summer challenge require players to be polite before they go out and kick some ass. Fortnite season 5 added the option for players to thank the driver of the Battle Bus before jumping out. For this challenge, you will have to thank the bus driver and shoot for a top 20 finish in five matches. If going solo is too tough then players can join a squad for a better chance. The reward for completing this challenge is the Perfect Blend emoji.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to pop 5 party balloon decorations<\/h3>\n<p>This challenge is in direct relation to the first challenge of the 14 Days of Summer. At every beach party is a ballon that can be popped. Follow the map above for the parties and use a pickaxe or gun to pop the balloons. The reward for completing this challenge is the sun spray.<\/p>\n<h3>Search for 3 unicorn floaties at swimming holes<\/h3>\n<p>Day 6&#039;s 14 Days of Summer Challenge has players going on a search for unicorns. Unicorn floaties, that is. These floating inflatables are found in pools, rivers, ponds and lakes. Check out the map below for the spots to find the unicorn floaties. Players completing this challenge will receive the Neon Tropics weapon wrap.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite 14 days of summer unicorn floaties\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet1.cbsistatic.com\/img\/Pbzqljt4ilFjqf3bHSzO94cMgiU=\/1092x0\/2019\/07\/01\/47aa1581-8533-4c74-8860-62509ada19a8\/fortnite-season-9-map-hard-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite 14 days of summer unicorn floaties\" \/><figcaption>\nA map of the seven locations to find unicorn floaties for the 14 Days of Summer challenge. <\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Hit 3 players with a water balloon in different matches<\/h3>\n<p>The Water Balloon toy was a reward for a previous 14 Days of Summer challenge and is required for this task. If you have the toy, make sure to equip it before a match. When used, your character will pull out a water balloon and quickly throw in whichever direction you&#039;re facing. Hitting three other players with a balloon in different matches is required to complete this challenge, but luckily, they can be teammates or throw one in the face of an opponent as an insult. Completing the task will give players a new loading screen.<\/p>\n<p>New in Fortnite season 9 are Fortbytes, which are only available to Battle Pass owners. The collectibles are scattered across the island, but also unlockable by reaching certain tiers and gaining a designated amount of XP. Each Fortbyte will reveal a piece of an image teasing Fortnite season 10 and a new one appears every day.<\/p>\n<h3>Fortnite Season 9 Fortbyte Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>01: Awarded for gaining 175,000 XP<\/p>\n<p>02: Found at a location hidden within Loading Screen #6<\/p>\n<p>03: Accessible by using the Skull Trooper Emoji at the western most point<\/p>\n<p>06: Accessible with Yay!

Off to the right near his foot appears to be the Polar Peak beast that is causing destruction on the island this season. More importantly, Jonesy appears to be covering a drawing that&#039;s likely the big event to end Fortnite season 9. <\/p>\n<p>As in previous seasons, Fortnite season 9 has a season-long set of tasks called Utopia Challenges, for Battle Pass owners. Tackling these special challenges requires the completion of all the weekly challenges throughout the season. The reward for all the work is the Utopia skin.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fortnite-season-9-week-8-challenges-and-how-to-hit-a-player-with-a-water-balloon\/\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 Utopia Challenges\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/rX1CYnrFYh0m_vAAVc96nZQZOWU=\/1092x0\/2019\/05\/23\/aec8d211-5bbe-4d29-a9cf-f052c37e81b8\/fortnite-20190523113155.jpg\" alt=\"Fortnite season 9 Utopia Challenges\" \/><figcaption>\nFortnite season 9 Utopia Challenges<\/p>\n<p>                                                     Epic Games\/Screenshot by CNET                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When players finish the weekly challenges, they&#039;ll receive a new loading screen that hints at a secret Battle Star.
