Wildlife was first added to the island in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. Over time, the variety of Wildlife has increased, and so has their function. They serve several roles in-game, including mobility, healing, and that of a loyal guardian.
For this week's challenges, Epic Games wants players to hunt 10 Wildlife in a single match. Although it's unclear why this has to be done, those who manage to complete the task will be rewarded with 16,000 XP.
Different types of Wildlife and how to hunt them in a single match in Fortnite
To hunt Wildlife in Fortnite, players must use a weapon/throwable item/Harvesting Tool to eliminate them during a match. With that said, here's a list of the different types of Wildlife on the island and how to find/hunt them:
Master the game with our Fortnite Interactive Map v33.00 here!
1) Traditional Wildlife: Chicken, Frog, Wolf, Boar, and Crows
In any given match, players are bound to come across a few Chicken, Boars, Frogs, Wolves, and Crows. Although their spawn locations are not written in stone, they can be found in abundance in the Grass and Autumn/Medieval biomes on the island.
An easy way to find them is using the audio visualization option in-game. With its help, players will be able to hear their footsteps and find them with relative ease. While the challenge can also be carried out in the Snow/Ice biome, with everything being white, finding Wildlife can become challenging.
The uneven landscape and terrain make this task even harder. Nonetheless, for players who enjoy challenging themselves, looking for Wildlife in the Snow/Ice biome can be rewarding.
2) Swarms of Sky Jelly
The newest type of Wildlife to be introduced to the game is called Sky Jelly. They can be found floating about in swarms on the island. Although they aren't aggressive in nature, they fall to the ground and explode when eliminated. If players are close to a cliff edge, they might fall off and sustain fall damage.
Coming back to the challenge at hand, players should engage Sky Jelly from a safe distance. Using an AOE weapon or any assault rifle should suffice.
Wiping out two swarms of Sky Jelly should be enough to complete the challenge. While it may take some time to come across a swarm of them in-game, taking them out is the fastest way to complete this challenge.
3) Loot Sharks and Loot Llamas
Although they are rather feisty targets with a huge HP pool of 2,000, Loot Sharks do count as Wildlife in-game. Players who aren't afraid of getting their feet wet can take on these deep-sea monstrosities to reap the rewards. However, given how few of them can be found in any given match, it's not the best approach.
In addition to Loot Sharks, Loot Llamas can also be hunted to complete this challenge. They have less HP and are easier to eliminate. However, much like Loot Sharks, they are rare, and unless 10 of them can be found in a single match, the challenge will remain incomplete.
