Players need to use a shotgun to inflict a total of 150 damage on Cube Monsters while inside the Sideways. A good idea would be to find a shotgun before entering the area to avoid wasting time.


Stage 4) Get a headshot with a Pistol (0/1) - 30,000 XP

Players only need to land a headshot to complete this step of the Fortnite challenge. This could take some time as using a pistol can be rather difficult.


Stage 5) Eliminate an opponent with an SMG (0/1) - 30,000 XP

Players will need to secure an SMG elimination to complete the last stage of the Shadow Ops Impromptu Tactical questline. While this may seem difficult as well, only one elimination is needed to complete the challenge.


Note: These Fortnite challenges do not need to be completed in a single match and can be carried over to multiple matches.
