Fortnite: How to complete bounties

As part of the Fortnite Bargain Bin Week challenge, you'll be required to hunt down three bounty targets to earn 20,000 experience points. With Chapter 3 Season 4 nearing its end, every bit of XP will come in handy to reach level 200 and unlock all Battle Pass rewards.

The great thing is that you don't have to wander around to find opponents aimlessly. Given the island's layout and SBMM, it's easy enough to run into a few in every match. That said, finding enemies and being rewarded for eliminating them is easier.

A step-by-step guide on how to complete bounties in Fortnite

1) Find a Bounty Board and activate it

The first thing you'll need to do is find a Bounty Board. This shouldn't be too difficult as there are 30 locations at which Bounty Boards can be found. However, some safer ones are in POIs, such as Washout Wharf, Tow-Away Beach, and The Temple.

Upon landing, the first order of business is to find and immediately activate the Bounty Board to accept the bounty contract. While this may seem counterintuitive, the motive is to activate the board quickly to usher in a sense of urgency. This will help you be proactive and approach the situation with utmost haste.

2) Secure proper gear and find a mid-range weapon

Once the bounty has been claimed, you'll want to carve a loot path towards the bounty target. Rather than running in circles trying to find loot in the area where you've landed, the smarter decision would be to move towards the target while looting.

Although this technique is challenging to master, it has enormous perks. It will allow you to move towards the target sooner while gearing up along the way. On that note, remember to look for a mid-range weapon while looting. If possible, try to get hold of a Cobra DMR, as it will allow you to engage the target farther away.

3) Eliminate the bounty target as soon as possible

The best way to approach the target is to get to high ground. This will offer a strategic view of the surrounding area and allow you to spot the target easily. Start the engagement with a clean headshot when in a good firing position. This will help break the Overshield faster and soften up the target.

If long-range combat is not your preference, sneaking up to the target and opening fire is also a good option. Just remember to take headshots to break the Overshield fast. This will give you an edge in the engagement and help end the fight sooner.

Once the target has been eliminated, repeat the task twice to complete the challenge. On that note, since Bargain Bin Week will last until the end of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, there's no need to rush or try to eliminate three bounty targets in a single match.
