The long-awaited Summer Event for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has finally arrived. It brings an insane amount of challenges to the game, one of which requires players to hop on a boat and destroy large sea buoys.

There are a whopping 17 challenges available thanks to the 'No Sweat' summer event. Despite Epic Games nerfing the totals for challenges, they're still the best way to earn a lot of XP. Skins like Darth Vader and Sabina await players, so gaining XP is very important.

Large sea buoys don't sound very common, so it's important to know what to destroy before players get on a boat and drive around shooting every little thing. Here's how to complete this challenge.

Fortnite: Firing missiles into large buoys in the No Sweat summer event

Finding a motorboat is not a difficult task. They can be found in nearly every body of water. Every river, lake, and ocean access point probably has at least one boat somewhere nearby.

However, large sea buoys are not as easy to find.

Players can find large sea buoys near the Mighty Monument, where there is also a boat spawn. Here are all the boat spawn locations on the map, as well as a yellow ping for where they can find the buoys:

Driving around in a motorboat outside the island that is pinged in the image will show players a few sea buoys. Three need to be destroyed in order to complete the challenge.

The best way to do this is with a missile. Boosting into them might also destroy them, but it may not count for the purposes of this challenge.

However, one missile is not enough. The first missile will destroy the balloon on top of the buoy. A second missile should be enough to destroy the whole thing, resulting in 1/3 of the challenges being completed.

There should be enough buoys to complete this challenge immediately, but if Fortnite gamers die, the challenge can be completed in as many matches as necessary.

Here's the full list of the No Sweat Summer Challenges in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. They are, according to leaks, going to award 15k XP each:
