The day three challenge also presents players with the opportunity to earn 20,000 XP, which helps with progression on the Season 5 Battle Pass.

This challenge is quite simple and should not require players to take part in more than a couple of games, barring any unfortunate incidents. All that players need to do, is to finish one match in the top 10 when playing a squad game with friends in the party.

Here's everything that players need to know about the Operation Snowdown day three challenge in Fortnite.

Understandably, making it to the top 10 in squads mode can be a tricky challenge, however, playing with a little bit of caution as a squad can help anyone secure a spot into the top 10.

Nevertheless, for the sake of completing the challenge after multiple failed attempts, it is recommended that players try and use the much hated method of "camping." This will help players pass some time and secure themselves a finish in the top 10.

With this just being the third day of Operation Snowdown in Fortnite, players still have 11 more days of wintery fun remaining. Each day will present a new challenge, accompanied by new rewards for players to unlock.
