With it being the start of a new season, many of the challenges pertain to new mechanics that have just been introduced. For starters, this new update comes with a crafting mechanic, which adds a substantial change to the way many will approach certain situations. Along with that are the wild animals that spawn throughout the map, in addition to map alterations.
There are challenges that correspond to all of these mechanics, so you might be stumped on how to complete them since these features are brand new to the game. In this guide, we’ll go through each and every one of the new week 1 challenges, and we’ll provide more details on getting through some of the trickier ones. Here are Fortnite’s season 1, week 6 challenges and how to complete them.

Season 6, week 1 challenge list
We always recommend to at least take a glance at a new set of challenges so you can make a mental note of what you need to do for the week. Many of the quests pertain to crafting, which you’ll likely do anyway, while others might be trickier.
Below is a list of week 1’s new challenges:
- Hunt Wildlife
- Craft Primal weapons using bones and makeshift weapons
- Craft a Hunter’s Cloak
- Talk to characters
- Collect mechanical parts from vehicles, trailers, buses, or tractors
- Craft mechanical weapons using mechanical parts and a makeshift weapon
- Find golden artifacts near The Spire
- Craft items
Since so many of them involve crafting, you’ll want to spend a lot of time gathering resources and experimenting with different combinations of materials. It’s not hard, but it is a new feature, so it’ll take a bit of time to get used to. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the new resources like animal bones and mechanical parts, along with the weapons that spawn on the ground.
Here are guides on some of the harder challenges for week 1 of season 6.
