Put down the fishing rod and go complete some challenges. 

 Epic Games

Fortnite Chapter 2 may be a reboot of the game, but the challenges are the same as season 10. A set of tasks is available to players each week, giving them experience points when completed. Points acquired increase a player's tier level, which unlocks more content, especially if they have a season Battle Pass. 

Challenges are added every Thursday during the season, but due to the new season starting Tuesday, there's already a set of missions for players to complete. 

New World challenges

The first batch of challenges for Fortnite Chapter 2 gets players to explore the new island along with the added activities such as fishing and riding a motorboat. There's one challenge that needs a little help.

That fancy new loading screen players sit through has a clue to this challenge. Off to the side is a spot where the "F" is located. More specifically, the letter is on a hill just to the east of Lazy Lake. See the map below for the specific spot.

Like the New World challenges, the Open Water challenges have players exploring the new island along with fairly straightforward challenges.

Players who completed the New World challenges received a second loading screen called Open Water. In the background, there's a beach house and right below it is the "O." That house can be found at the northern part of Craggy Cliffs. Search underneath it to find the "O."
