A Week 4 Quest has assigned us the task to knock down Timber Pines with a Ripsaw Launcher in Fortnite. This might sound like an easy enough Fortnite Challenge, but to succeed, you'll need to know your stuff regarding Timber Pines and Ripsaw Launchers. With that said, it's time to unleash our inner lumberjack as we aim to knock down Timber Pines with a Ripsaw Launcher in Fortnite.

What Are Fortnite Timber Pines?

Fortnite Timber Pines are giant pine trees that stand out amongst the rest of the Island's timber. These massive trees are unique in that when cut down, they'll actually collapse and roll around, crushing anything in their way — just like Fortnite Runaway Boulders.

Do enough damage to a Timber Pine and the trunk will detach, smashing to the ground and leaving just a stump in its wake. Sometimes this can have a domino effect, as the falling Timber Pine crashes down on other Timber Pines.

Timber Pines are native to the mountainous, north-western region of the Island. You'll find Timber Pines all around Logjam Lotus and Rave Cave.

What Are Fortnite Ripsaw Launchers?

Brand-new in Chapter 3 Season 3, the Ripsaw Launcher is a unique Fortnite tool that shoots out saw blades. The Fortnite Ripsaw Launcher is ideal for tearing through terrain and structures, but it can deal damage to players as well.

You can rev up the Ripsaw Launcher to increase its range and velocity, but if you never let go, it turns into a Fortnite melee weapon.

You'll find Ripsaw Launchers primarily at The Chop Shop north-east of Logjam Lotus. The Chop Shop is a sizable red warehouse and contains multiple Ripsaw Launchers inside it.

Additionally, Ripsaw Launchers can be found in Floor Loot, Supply Drops, and Chests.

Described in-game as a utensil designed to fell trees, it's only appropriate that one of Chapter 3 Season 3's Week 4 Quests tasks us with knocking down Timber Pines with a Ripsaw Launcher.

To start, we suggest you visit The Chop Shop and secure a Ripsaw Launcher there. The Chop Shop is the surest method of getting your hands on this piece of Fortnite equipment. Also, The Chop Shop itself is surrounded by Timber Pines.

With a Ripsaw Launcher equipped, search out Timber Pines in the snowy north-west region of the Island. When you find some, feel free to charge up the Ripsaw Launcher and unload saws into the Timber Pine tree trunks. However, if you want to conserve ammo, you can just rev up the Ripsaw Launcher next to the tree and cut it down the old-fashioned way.

Knock down five Timber Pines total with a Ripsaw Launcher to complete the Quest and earn 15k XP toward your Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass and Season Level.
