Step-by-step guide to dealing damage to opponents using Pistols, Harvesting Tool, and Grenades in Fortnite

Players usually rely on firearms like SMGs, ARs, Shotguns, or Sniper Rifles to get kills. However, sometimes the lack of a satisfactory weapon forces players to use Pistols, explosives, or even their Pickaxe. Thankfully, one of the Week 7 Seasonal Quests prepares you exactly for such situations.

To complete the damage opponents with Pistol, Harvesting Tool, and Grenades challenge, you need to deal 500 damage to enemies using any of the three items mentioned in the name of the quest.

1) Obtain required weapon

In Fortnite, players spawn with a Harvesting Tool, but it is extremely difficult to deal 500 damage with the item. Therefore, you will need to look for a Pistol or Grenades after you exit the Battle Bus. You will also be required to collect enough Light ammo if you decide to use the former. This is because sidearms are usually inaccurate, and it may take a few rounds to eliminate opponents.

Grenades can be useful, too, especially when taking on enemies in build-centric combat. The explosives deal splash damage, and if you're playing duos, trios, or squads, they are perfect for accumulating damage and completing the quest.

2) Deal 500 damage to opponents

Once you have the required weapon for the challenge, the next step is to deal 500 damage to opponents. You can do this by eliminating five players without any shields or by inflicting a total of 500 damage to different enemies.

Dropping hot can help you catch several foes off guard that don't have any weapons or shields; you can deal damage to them using your harvesting tool.

You can also head to the Zero Build mode and catch players by surprise and damage them with Pistols. Grenades can be used in Duos, Trios, or Squads to deal splash damage. In fact, a well-thrown explosive on two full squads would be enough to complete the challenge.

Once you have dealt 500 damage using Pistols, Grenades, or Harvesting Tool, you will complete the Week 7 Seasonal Quest in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4. This will grant you 25,000 XP to add to your Battle Pass progress.

With less than a month remaining before the season ends, completing Seasonal Quests will definitely help players unlock all the remaining rewards.
