fortnite 27 mphHere’s everything you need to know. The whiplash is a fast vehicle available in fortnite.this guide will help players reach 88 mph to complete a challenge. Week 5 challenges (fortnite season 6)drop a like if you enjoyed this video!
It may be the week of Halloween, but Fortnite is leaving the spookier challenges for its Fortnitemares event, and instead is focusing on vehicular mayhem in week 5’s new challenges which have just gone live.
The most interesting one asks Fortnite players to record a speed of 27 MPH or more at different signs on locations on the map, something we have not seen before, and something that seems like it’s going to make use out of the new vehicle, the Quadcrasher, specifically.
Go here to see where to jump through flaming hoops. Go here to see all of Week 5’s challenges.
Where are these signs? I’ve been doing some hunting, and here are a bunch of them that should be enough for you to get these challenges done. There are probably more than this hiding on the map, but this will get you started at the very least. As you can see, they’re always by actual roads.
So far we have:
- A radar sign southwest of Paradise Palms near the bridge
- A radar sign north of Paradise Palms by the racetrack
- A radar sign south of Tomato Temple going into the tunnel
- A radar sign southwest of Lazy Links north or Leaky Lake
- A radar sign between Pleasant Park and Tilted Towers
- A radar sign north of Flush Factory
- A radar sign just east of Salty Springs
What’s the best way to do this challenge? I have to believe it’s the Quadcrasher, given that it’s the only vehicle with a built in super speed boost that should easily take you above 27 MPH. I assume players will be trying to set speed records in this challenge, and I’m not exactly sure what the top speed of the Quadcrasher will prove to be.
You can also use ATKs for this challenge, as even if they are not the speed demons that Quadcrashers are, they still have enough giddy-up to get above 27 MPH at the very least (when you do you'll hear a police siren), but their max speed is 26 driving normally, so you have to slide and use a boost to get yourself over the line. Shopping carts I am less sure about, given that they are manually operated by your feet. I am guessing you could build downward ramp or something to build up speed and zoom past a sign at above 25 MPH, but there’s no way you can do it just by pushing past a sign. Your best bets are the “true” vehicles in Fortnite.
The Quadcrasher may not actually be the last vehicle introduced in Fortnite this season. There are leaked files in the game that suggest the arrival of something called the “Antelope,” which appears to be a vehicle and not an actual antelope, so it’s possible that if it debuts by the end of season 6, you would be able to use it for this challenge as well. I’m not sure what it might be. A motorcycle? An actual car for once? That remains to be seen.
This is definitely one of the more fun challenges of the season, and paired with the “jump through flaming hoops” challenge you are about to see a whole bunch of people speeding around the Fortnite map in various vehicles to complete these challenges ASAP as everyone tries to unlock the Hunting Party skin as soon as they can next week.
Happy racing, and let me know what your top speed record is for this challenge, and in what vehicle, I’m curious.
