The art of bouncing in Fortnite is useful in many situations. Players can use certain objects to bounce off in order to gain momentum and reach high ground with ease. Although they don't usually have to rely on these objects, thanks to the Sprint mechanic, in certain situations, it becomes necessary to use them.

As part of the "This Season" Challenge for week four, players will have to bounce off a tire, a lily pad, and an air vent in-game. While this challenge may seem odd, it will give beginners an understanding of how to use certain objects found in the environment to gain a mobility boost. Additionally,12,000 experience points are up for grabs upon completion of the task.

The best place to find a pile of tires is at a Landmark called Slap 'N Go, which is located north of Mega City. Although this region is not a hot-drop location, players should be careful while diving into the area.

Once on the ground, secure the Landmark and look for a pile of tires. They can be found on the side of the building that's located on the eastern edge of the Landmark. To bounce off a tire, simply approach it and jump on it once. This will complete one part of this challenge.


2) Where to find and bounce off a lily pad

The best place to find lily pads is at a Landmark called Whispering Waters, which is located west of Steamy Springs. This region is somewhat of a hot-drop zone, which will make completing the challenge a bit daunting.

While landing in Steamy Springs to find gear will be the best decision, players may have to secure the area using force to reach the lily pads. That said, they can choose to avoid this area and land directly at Whispering Waters to find lily pads. Alternatively, players can look for lily pads around the map, mostly in small water bodies.


3) Where to find and bounce off an air vent

The best place to find air vents is in Fortnite's Mega City. They can be found atop buildings within the region. Players can get to them by either taking an Ascender up to the roof or using the Grind Rails to reach them. One can be found next to the helipad on the roof atop which the NPC, known as Stray, spawns.

To use an air vent, players must approach and jump onto it. This should complete the final stage of this challenge.

Under the air vent's effect, players will not experience damage should they fall to the ground. This allows for a quick getaway should the normal escape route be blocked off.


Note: Players can tackle this challenge in any order they see fit.
