Fortnite's Break The Curse event is in full swing, and one of the latest event quests requires you to collect three Epic or better items within 20 seconds of landing from the Battle Bus. Although this Fortnite challenge is self-explanatory, completing it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
This is because you have a very low chance of encountering an item with an Epic or greater rarity in such a short span of time in the game. But worry not, as I've got you covered with a guaranteed way to do this.
How to collect Epic or better items within 20 seconds of landing
The easiest way to complete this challenge is to land near Rumble Ruins and loot the Kinetic Boomerang.
This is an Epic weapon that was introduced as a part of the Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 3 update, and you can find it on boomerang stands scattered around the map. I've also marked the exact locations in the below image for your convenience.
However, the quest's not over yet, as it requires you to collect three Epic or better items. Thankfully, you can also complete the objective in different matches, which means you’ll have to repeat this process two more times.
Once you complete the core objective, the challenge will be marked as completed, and you'll be rewarded with Cursed Energy which you can eventually use to unlock the rewards.
