Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 5 Challenge Guide: Week 14
Challenges offer players the opportunity to complete a specific task and receive XP in return. Completing challenges throughout the season is essential for levelling up the Battle Pass. Some players love the activity of challenge hunting. For others, it may feel like a chore. Regardless, they are a necessity for those looking to earn all of the exclusive rewards.
Each Week 14 challenge grants a ridiculous 40,000 XP. This is double the standard rate. Completing all seven Week 14 challenges will grant players a whopping 280,000 XP. It goes without saying; Week 14 is the most important week of challenges to date. Completing Week 14’s challenges will clear the path to the max season level of 225.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at our Challenge Guide below for an in-depth breakdown of every single Week 14 challenge and the best course of action for completing them.
Click to enlargeCollect cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs (4) - 40,000 XP
With the introduction of Week 14, eight cookbooks have been spread through the kitchens of Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs. Players will need to collect just four of these cookbooks to complete the challenge.
Pleasant Park’s cookbooks will be the easiest to collect. There’s one in the kitchen of every house on the west side of Pleasant Park. Go house to house and grab the cookbook placed on the floor of each house’s respective kitchens. Start at the red brick house in the north-west corner and travel south, visiting all three houses lined up on the west side.
The cookbooks in Craggy Cliffs are a bit more spread out. The first is in a warehouse down by the beach on the east side of Craggy Cliffs. Another is under the steps on the first floor of the clocktower. The other two are in the kitchens of adjacent buildings near the centre of Craggy Cliffs.
Harvest fruits and vegetables (8) - 40,000 XP
There are all kinds of harvestable fruits and vegetables scattered across the Fortnite island. Coconuts, bananas, apples, peppers, and more can be found throughout the map.
For this challenge, players will need to harvest eight total pieces of fruit and/or vegetables. The type of fruit or vegetable is irrelevant.
The easiest place to do this is at The Orchard. As the name suggests, The Orchard is home to an apple orchard. There are dozens and dozens of apples for the taking. Additionally, there’s a cabbage patch at the location. Gathering eight total apples/cabbages at The Orchard will be a total breeze.
Click to enlargeEarn Bars to hire a Character (150) - 40,000 XP
Gold Bars are a new form of currency introduced in Chapter 2 - Season 5. Players can use Gold Bars to buy new weapons, upgrade weapons, reveal chests and enemies, and hire NPCs as bodyguards. Gold Bars can be acquired by opening chests, defeating enemies, and completing quests and bounties as directed by different NPCs.
This particular challenge asks players to hire an NPC as a bodyguard. A few of the NPCs that players can hire include Mave, Mancake, Remedy, Doggo, and Bandolier.
Players will need to gather up 100 Gold Bars through the collection methods listed above. With 100 Gold Bars on hand, visit a hireable NPC. Pay them for their service, and the challenge will complete.
Visit different restaurant kitchens (2) - 40,000 XP
Next on the list, players will need to visit two different restaurant kitchens. The eligible kitchens include Sticks at Craggy Cliffs, Pizza Pit south of The Orchard, and Durrr Burger south of Holly Hedges.
Enter into two of these three restaurant kitchens to receive 40,000 XP.

Get in the car; we’re going on a trip. Players must transport a vehicle from Sweaty Sands to Pleasant Park.
Players can start this challenge right at Sweaty Sands. Head to Sweaty Sands and grab one of the many vehicles parked on the strip of road. From there, it's just a short drive uninterrupted up to Pleasant Park. The quick road trip will net you 40,000 XP.
Drop off a vehicle at the gas station in Lazy Lake or Catty Corner (1) - 40,000 XP
Another vehicle-based challenge, this one, presents players with two options. Players will need to grab a vehicle and drop it off at a gas station at either Lazy Lake or Catty Corner.
Lazy Lake is flooded with vehicles. Players can literally enter a vehicle on the streets of Lazy Lake and drive it a few metres to the gas station to complete this challenge. Alternatively, players can pick up a vehicle along the roads near Catty Corner and drop it off at Kit’s gas station.

The NASCAR fantasies end with a third and final automobile-related challenge. Players must drive a vehicle from Pleasant Park all the way to Lazy Lake.
Players will need a full tank of gas for this one. Start at Pleasant Park and grab one of the vehicles parked in the streets. Fill it up with gas at the Pleasant Park gas station before you start the trip. With a full tank, follow the road east — through the desert biome — all the way to Lazy Lake. Enter the gates of Lazy Lake to finish up Week 14’s challenges.
