Hidden challenges are scattered across Fortnite OG, offering rare rewards for players who know where to search. From secret map triggers to elusive objectives, here’s how to track them all down before they vanish again.
Here’s everything you need to know about finding and completing these nostalgic challenges.
The Double Pump Challenge
The Double Pump Challenge brings back one of Fortnite’s most iconic tactics. Players must locate two pump shotguns and master quick weapon swapping to eliminate opponents faster. Completing this challenge rewards bonus XP and nostalgic satisfaction for those who can time their shots perfectly. Keep an eye out for additional combat modifiers that may make this task trickier during specific matches.
The first secret quest requires hitting an opponent with two different shotguns in less than a second. This challenge is based on the legendary “Double Pump” strategy that dominated early Fortnite matches.
To complete this quest, you’ll need to:
- Find both a Tactical Shotgun and a Pump Shotgun
- Place them next to each other in your inventory for quick switching
- Hit your opponent with the first shotgun
- Quickly switch to the second shotgun and land another hit
This might take some practice, but it’s worth trying since it’s a fun throwback to one of Fortnite’s most powerful early-game strategies.
The Rocket Rider
Rocket Riding is a classic Fortnite trick that’s back in the OG quests, letting players soar across the map on a fired rocket. To complete this quest, cooperate with a teammate using a Rocket Launcher-have them launch a rocket while you jump at just the right moment to land on it. Timing is key, and success depends on solid coordination. It’s a fun throwback challenge that rewards both skill and teamwork.
This next challenge might be the trickiest of them all – you must ride a rocket from a Rocket Launcher. To complete this challenge:
- Team up with a friend (this is essential)
- Find a Rocket Launcher
- Have your friend stand at a good distance
- Get them to shoot the rocket at you
- Jump right before the rocket reaches you
Since friendly fire is disabled, you won’t take damage if you mess up while practicing with a teammate.
The Victory Dance
Players who complete the hidden objectives in this challenge earn an exclusive emote celebrating their achievement. It requires finishing all previous secret quests tied to the OG map, from collecting rare items to completing tricky route-based tasks. Once all conditions are met, the final reward can be claimed from the Quest tab, giving players a flashy new move to show off their success in any match.
The third secret quest asks you to emote within five seconds of eliminating an opponent. While some might consider this “toxic” behavior, it’s all good fun when you’re doing it for a quest. (but also, that’s what emotes are for)
To complete this challenge:
- Eliminate an opponent
- Quickly open your emote wheel (B on keyboard, D-Pad on controller)
- Select any emote and perform it
- Make sure you do this within five seconds of getting the elimination
The Doorbell Destroyer
This secret task challenges players to search for damaged or missing doorbells around the map and interact with them. To complete it, visit different residential areas, locate doorbells near front doors, and use your interact button to destroy or repair them as required. Completing all doorbell interactions grants bonus XP and can contribute to hidden quest progress for dedicated collectors.
The final secret quest brings back another classic Fortnite feature – breaking doorbells by repeatedly ringing them. This one is probably the easiest to complete out of all four challenges.
To find and break a doorbell:
- Land in residential areas like Pleasant Park or Salty Springs
- Look for houses with doorbells near their front doors
- Repeatedly press the interact button on the doorbell
- Keep pressing until it short circuits and breaks
Where are the best spots to land for double pump shotgun fights
For consistent double pump shotgun fights, land where you can reliably get at least two shotguns plus fast close-range action: dense POIs with many floor spawns, chests, and tight buildings are best.
Best types of spots
-
Hot central POIs
Places near the middle of the map each season tend to have high traffic and lots of ground loot, which makes it easy to find two pumps quickly and get instant close-range fights.
Look for named locations with many small buildings close together so you can chain fights without long rotates. -
Compact house clusters
Clusters of 4-8 houses (classic “neighborhood” areas) are ideal: short sightlines, doorways, and stairs make it easy to corner people for double pump shots.
You also get multiple chests and floor spawns in a small radius, boosting your odds of finding two shotguns early. -
POIs with vertical interiors
Spots with multi-story buildings (apartments, hotels, towers) naturally create stair and doorway fights, which favor pump shotguns over long-range weapons.
Use floors and right-hand peaks so you can swap shotguns between shots while staying mostly behind cover.
How to choose and play the drop
-
Pick a medium-contested spot: too dead and you find no fights; too hot and you die before setting up double pump. Aim for 2-4 enemy teams.
-
Drop directly onto a visible floor gun; if it’s a shotgun, immediately clear that building and look for a second shotgun before pushing out.
In-fight tips for double pump
-
Keep both shotguns in adjacent slots and practice the shoot-swap-shoot rhythm so you always fire as soon as the next pump is ready.
-
Fight in tight angles (hallways, boxes, small rooms) where enemies cannot strafe far out of your reticle between shots, maximizing your double pump damage.
If you tell which chapter/season or OG vs current BR you’re playing, a more specific list of named POIs for that map can be suggested.
How to execute double pump shotgun combos in zero build Fortnite
Executing a “double pump” in Zero Build is all about weapon order, timing your swaps, and using cover instead of builds to safely stay in shotgun range. Here’s a compact step-by-step you can practice right away.
1. Loadout and settings
-
Run either two pumps (classic double pump) or a pump + high-burst weapon (Explosive Repeater, Hand Cannon, strong SMG) and keep them in back-to-back slots (e.g., 1-2).
-
On controller, bind quick-swap (LB/RB or L1/R1) so you can flick between the two weapons; on M&K, use adjacent number keys or mouse wheel to scroll instantly between them.
2. Basic double pump rhythm
-
Take a shot with Shotgun A, immediately swap to Shotgun B, fire as soon as it’s ready, then swap back to A and repeat: shoot → swap → shoot → swap.
-
Don’t spam swaps faster than the pump’s fire rate; you want a smooth rhythm where each weapon is ready the moment you land back on it, not stutter-swapping while it’s still on cooldown.
Simple drill
-
Hold your fire button, then just tap your swap keys in a pattern (A→B→A→B); each gun will shoot as soon as it can, which helps you feel the correct timing.
-
Once the timing feels natural, stop holding fire and manually tap shoot for better control and to avoid wasting shots when your crosshair isn’t centered.
3. Zero Build positioning
-
Play around hard cover (rocks, walls, cars) and slide or strafe out, take one pump shot, then duck back while swapping to the other weapon, repeating the peek each time.
-
Force fights into tight angles-doorways, corners, and head-glitches-so enemies can’t easily back up into AR range where your combo is weaker.
4. Crosshair and movement habits
-
Keep your crosshair at chest/head level as you close distance so you only need tiny corrections when you peek, which makes back-to-back pump shots much more consistent.
-
Strafe slightly between each shot instead of standing still; each peek should be: move out → shoot → move back into cover while swapping to the next gun.
5. Practice routines
-
Use a Creative / aim training map that has “double pump” or shotgun swap drills so you can grind the timing with moving bots before jumping into pubs.
-
In real games, consciously take only close-range fights for a few matches-your goal is not wins, but landing full two-shot combos on every opponent you push.
If you share your input method (KBM vs controller) and current binds, specific key/button layouts can be suggested to make swapping for double pump combos feel almost automatic.
