The only challenge about the latest Fortnite quest is picking the right spot to land. Grind Rails are located mainly around Mega City, but the latest update has also added it to Shattered Slabs.

Mega City is one of the most popular landing spots in Chapter 4, Season 2, so if you pick it for the challenge, watch out for enemies.

Here's how to sprint on Grind Rails in Fortnite:


1) Pick the landing spot

For the first step, you need to pick your landing spot. While we suggest Mega City because of its vast loot, you should choose a less popular location if you struggle to fight players early in the game.

Grind Rails are also available around Mega City, and you can use them to complete the challenge.


2) Get on Grind Rails
