Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Quests Guide: Fast XP and Guardian Unlocks

Farming currency is usually a miserable grind, but Epic just injected a candy-coated shortcut into the loot pool to speed things up.

A promotional graphic for Fortnite Runners Chapter 7 Season 3 detailing new content including collectible sprites, the Shattered Coast map, gameplay features like extraction sites, and a new loot pool of weapons and gear.

The Runners update brings a completely fresh map to the island. Finding your way around Calamari Canyon and Heatwave Harbor is hard enough without constantly pausing to figure out your next objective. Before you wander blindly into a firefight, you need a solid plan to secure your progression. Epic handed us a massive batch of fresh challenges to tackle. I gathered every single active objective into one place so you can plan your drops, optimize your routes, and avoid getting sent back to the lobby while staring at a quest log.

If you want to absolutely maximize your progression speed, pair these objectives with my Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 leveling guide to exploit the current XP economy.

The Weekly Highlights Schedule

Epic sticks to a very strict routine for the standard weekly challenges. New batches go live every single Thursday at exactly 9 AM ET. You can track your personal progress inside the Quests tab under the Weekly Highlights section. Knocking these out gives you a massive 12,000 XP payout per task.

Week 1 Objectives

Your first week on the island is mostly about exploring the new points of interest and testing out the updated loot pool.

Quest Objective XP Reward
Land at The Battlewoods, Calamari Canyon, and Heatwave Harbor (3) 12,000
Damage opponents with style while using Seven Sliders (150) 12,000
Eliminate opponents while equipped with a Sprite (5) 12,000
Hit opponents with the Chaos Exploder Rifle (5) 12,000
Damage bosses (750) 12,000
Collect weapons with a hired specialist (3) 12,000
Travel distance while boosting in a vehicle (500) 12,000

Week 2 Objectives

The second week ramps up the combat requirements and forces you into a highly contested car wash. Getting your vehicle detailed while actively dodging sniper fire is certainly an interesting tactical choice.

Quest Objective XP Reward
Reach top 20 opponents remaining in different matches (3) 12,000
Headshot opponents because that is where the pilot sits (15) 12,000
Destroy objects at The Battlewoods or Sinister Strip to make some waves (10) 12,000
Search containers at named locations to gather supplies (20) 12,000
Take your car through the car wash to make a good impression with The Seven (1) 12,000

Sprite Safari and Baba Yaga

Companions are the main attraction right now. To push you toward the new mechanics, Epic set up a dedicated questline focused entirely on managing your locker. The developers drop new extraction tasks every Saturday at exactly 9 AM ET.

If you are struggling to actually secure your loot before an enemy squad ruins your run, review my Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprite extraction guide to map out a safer escape route. You also get a special one-off crossover objective hidden in this batch. Since John Wick occupies a spot in the current premium pass, you have to track down his dog to unlock a unique sidekick cosmetic.

Quest Objective Reward
Extract Sprites to expand your portfolio (10) 10,000 XP
Enter a match with a Sprite equipped (5) 10,000 XP
Earn Sprite XP by eliminating opponents, opening chests, and extracting Sprites (2,500) 10,000 XP
Purchase something from a Sprite Station with Sprite Dust (1) 10,000 XP
Activate an Extraction Site (5) 10,000 XP
Rescue or pet John Wick's dog (1) The Dog Sidekick Cosmetic

Assembling The Guardian

If you bought the premium pass, you are going to want to actually customize The Guardian outfit. The base skin looks decent, but you have to grind through four distinct challenge categories to unlock the Stealth, Magical, Combat Elite, and Light armor pieces. Each specific category grants a helmet, torso, and arm modification for your locker.

Category Quest Objective Cosmetic Unlock
Stealth Search cases to find the missing helmet (4) Guardian Helmet
Stealth Search cases to find the missing torso (4) Guardian Torso
Stealth Search cases to find the missing arms (4) Guardian Arms

Combat Elite Damage opponents while in a vehicle (250) Guardian Torso
Combat Elite Eliminate opponents while sliding (10) Guardian Arms
