Fortnite battle royale: Where to find clay pigeon shooting

Fortnite gamers are used to shooting at opposing players in the game.

This week, they’ll have the chance to shoot clay pigeons too.

One new challenge for this week of Fortnite Season 5 is to shoot clay pigeons at five unique locations across the game’s map. Though a difficult challenge to successfully complete, Forbes has just revealed the secrets to finishing it without much trouble.

A number of clay pigeon launchers are located across Fortnite’s map for players to locate 

The five clay pigeon shooters can be found in the following locations on the map:

• West of Pleasant Park along the western edge of a large mountain
• North of Flush Factory by the map’s edge and just to the west of the large chair
• Along the northeastern edge of Loot Lake
• Near the river in southeastern Paradise Palms
• Close to the bridge on the eastern banks of the river sandwiched between Risky Reels and Lazy Links

Players looking to complete the challenge simply need to activate the launcher and aim in its direction. Upon being activated, each launcher will fire an orange disc that players will have to successfully shoot down.

Players that miss will need to activate the clay pigeon launcher again while those that hit their mark can keep shooting at the discs being launched. For those looking to engage in some competition with their fellow gamers, a scoreboard will be located nearby each launcher.

In terms of tactics, players should likely use submachine guns to spray fire at the clay pigeon targets until they’re destroyed or take a more nuanced approach and pick off the first target with a shotgun.

Due to the considerable amount of time and concentration the challenge requires, it’s best done in a 50 vs. 50 match.

What is Fortnite?

Fortnite is a popular shooter video game with fort building and survival elements that boasts a player base in excess of 125 million worldwide.

The game is published and developed by Epic Games and is currently available to play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and iOS. In addition, an Android version of the game is under development and expected to be released sometime in the near future.

Fortnite’s battle royale mode, which sees 100 players battle it out in a fast-paced, no-holds-barred match, has revolutionized the video gaming community since its release back in September 2017.

In recent days, the Fortnite community has had much to celebrate in the game. The hit video game recently marked its first birthday with a new birthday cake dancing challenge while shark-themed items were also recently added into the game at the beginning of Shark Week.
