Hopefully, most readers have already started and completed the first challenge on the list by now. If not, they have until April 26, 9 AM Eastern Time, to do so. Upon completing the challenge, they'll be eligible to finish the other three in line.

Based on this information, players will need to complete two more challenges to move on to the last challenge to earn the Secret Sledge. Here's a list of all the challenges that players have to complete:

1) April 22 - April 26

Upon completing each challenge, players will receive 30,000 experience points for their efforts. They can earn 120,000 XP in total within a few days. Furthermore, given how easy they are to tackle, readers will not struggle much to complete them in solo mode.

However, if they do feel challenged, Fortnite bot lobbies can always be used to undertake the challenges. This is legal in the eyes of Epic Games, and players will not be banned for using them.
