The Fortnite Season 8 Overtime challenges have been leaked ahead of their official release. If you’re in need of some assistance over completing these tasks, we’re here to help. Read our Fortnite Season 8 Overtime challenges cheat sheet for the lowdown on them.
Fortnite Season 8 Overtime Challenges | Free Challenges
Collect Coins in Featured Creative Islands
To collect coins in featured islands, simply load up the game’s Creative mode and try out a number of the user-created maps. Some of these maps will contain coins that you can collect. If you manage to snag yourself a haul of 20 coins, you’ll tick this challenge off the list.
Place Top 10 in Squads with a friend
This is where things get tricky. Enlist the help of your best Fortnite friend and finish in the top 10 in three separate matches. You might struggle to get this three times in a row, but you have time on your side to complete it.
Your best approach may be to hide it out after you get some good loot, and stay in the circle every time it shrinks. Alternatively, if you’re that good, you and your teammate can both try and take down other squads. The latter option is riskier though, so we’ll leave the plan up to you.
Deal 1,000 damage to opponents
Another easy challenge to tick off. With the Avengers Endgame LTM event currently in play, you could use this game type to really help your chances. Simply make sure you acquire a mythic Avengers weapon or become Thanos, and you’ll be dealing tons of damage in no time.
Place Top 10 in Duos with a friend
Much like the top 10 in Squads challenge, your best approach to this might be to go about your business quietly until the Duo squads have been whittled down. Then, make your move and try to get into that all-important top 10 placing.
Duos can be more difficult than Squads as there are less of you, so you’ll both need to pull your weight. If you’re both experts at battle royale games though, you shouldn’t have any issues. Rank inside the top 10 in three separate matches to complete this challenge.
Outlast opponents
This may seem hard on the surface, especially as you have to outlast 500 opponents across all your Season 8 matches. Given that we’re almost into week 10, however, you should be well on your way to completing it.
You can marry this challenge with the Squads, Duos, or Solo challenges that appear in this cheat sheet guide to help you. That is if you haven’t already finished it due to how good you are. Even if you’re a few opponents short of completing this, you’ve still got a couple of weeks to finish it.
Place Top 25 in Solo
The third and final tricky challenge that you’ll have to overcome is to place in the top players of a Solo match. There’s some leniency here though, with players only needing to finish inside the top 25 instead of the top 10.
If you’ve employed the “hide and seek” method from the Squads and Duos challenges, you may want to do so for this challenge too. There are some amazing players out there, so waiting until there are fewer people on the battlefield might be the way to go. Again, finish inside the top 25 three times to finish this challenge.
Fortnite Season 8 Overtime Challenges | Battle Pass Challenges
Stage 1 Reach Battle Pass Tier 23, Stage 2 Complete Free Overtime Challenges
Make sure you’ve reached Tier 23 in the Battle Pass for this season. If you’ve been keeping on top of your challenges list, this will have been completed a few weeks ago.
Stage 2 of this is to chalk off the Free Overtime challenges for this tier too. Again, you will have been doing so if you’ve kept on top of the challenges as they’ve come out.
Stage 1 Reach Battle Pass Tier 71, Stage 2 Complete Free Overtime Challenges
Following on from the above, the Battle Pass Tier 71 challenge is exactly the same. There’s a Stage 2 part of this which means that you will have to complete the Free Overtime challenges for this, too.
Stage 1 Reach Battle Pass Tier 87, Stage 2 Complete Free Overtime Challenges
Third time’s a charm with the Battle Pass leveling up. For the final time, just make sure you hit Tier 87 in your Battle Pass challenges list to tick this one off. Stage 2 requires you to chalk off the Free Overtime challenges for a third and final time as well.

Fortnite's 10 Game Changing Pickups
So, you're dropping into Tilted Towers and you need a game changer. Something that will ensure that your next match is memorable. Fortnite has had plenty of these types of items in its brief history, and here are the most devastating. See any of these on the field, and you better run. -
Crossbow
Originally themed for Valentines Day, the crossbow was a devastating sniper rifle even without its fancy skin. A high damage output even on Rare difficulty and five shots to a clip made it a sharpshooters dream, and eventually led to it being vaulted in May of 2018. -
Drum Gun
A hybrid of a Rifle and Machine Gun, the Drum Gun brought a 1920s flair to Junk Junction. It proved to be deadly accurate in the hands of players at close range, even after a round of significant nerfs. Two months after its initial debut, it was curtains for this Tommy. -
Guided Missile
The preferred tool of any rocket rider, the Guided Missile lets you root out camping opponents and sail into the skies of victory. A devastating and rare munition, the Guided Missile saw two tours of duty in the fields of Fortnite. As of now, it's still available to mess around with in Playground mode. -
Infinity Blade
Originating in Epic's hit trilogy of mobile games, this mythic sword only lasted for four days before being banished to the Vault. It powered up players and granted them extra health, creating an in-game boss fight. In the end, it did its job just a bit too well. -
Infinity Gauntlet
A purposefully limited time item, this Marvel Comics artifact turned its wielder into Thanos. His mighty punch, energy blast, and insane leaping ability made players quake in fear during his summer stint in the battle royale. Let's hope he finds other worlds to conquer for the sequel. -
Jetpack
Nothing changes a shooter quite like added mobility. Dodge out of sniper fire and root out towers of foes with the Jetpack, a limited time only Legendary backpack. Aeronauts with enough skill can negate any crafty builders and land the last few kills with pinpoint accuracy. -
Mounted Turret
A turret sequence in most shooters is a drag, but a well executed run with the Mounted Turret can be a thrill. This legendary trap is deployable anywhere there's a flat surface and spurts out infinite ammo as long as you mind the heat and don't take enough damage. -
Remote Explosives
It makes sense that a game partially about building would also have some C4 to even the odds, but the Remote Explosives were too much for their own good. Able to rip apart strategies at a distance and coming in bundles of three, most players don't miss these server bombs. -
Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle
Able to pick out enemies and loot with ease, the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is the current best weapon if you're looking to charge an opposing team. Just be sure to account for its high recoil, lest you be staring into the sun as you take a fatal blow. -
Zapotron
One of the original vaulted weapons in Fortnite's battle royale mode, the Zapotron was an electrified sniper rifle that decimated groups of enemies from afar. It has a great design but doesn't really fit with the rest of the game's more authentic arsenal. Still, don't wear a lightning rod if we ever see this weapon again.
