Fortnite quests often ask you to visit certain locations around the massive island. It can be tricky to finish these types of tasks if you aren’t familiar with the spot you need to visit, though, which can make quests like eliminating opponents at dig sites rather tough.
This particular quest is complex because both the location you have to visit and the action you need to perform can be difficult. It sounds deceptively easy, but when you actually try to work on this one, there’s a decent chance you’ll end up stuck. Here’s how to eliminate opponents at dig sites in Fortnite.
Eliminate opponents at dig sites in Fortnite, explained
To complete the eliminate opponents at dig sites quest in Fortnite, you need to take out a total of five enemies at dig sites around the island. Dig sites are small circular areas with a crater in the middle, and are sometimes guarded by Doom Henchmen.
To start, you need to locate a dig site around the map. Once you find one, there are two different ways you can go about completing this task.
- Eliminate Doom Henchmen at dig sites. At random dig sites around the map, you’ll find unopened Dr. Doom chests protected by a group of his henchmen. Taking them out is the easiest way to complete this quest. If you choose this method, make sure you fully eliminate Doom’s Henchmen and don’t just leave them downed—another player could swoop in and steal your kill if you do.
- Eliminate enemy players at dig sites. This is generally tougher since you have to rely on luck. Dig sites aren’t very popular spots for players to hang out, so you just have to hope you find a player when you arrive or stay near one and wait.
If you’re aiming to take down henchmen, you have to travel around to all the dig sites and hope you find some hanging out there. And if you’re seeking enemy players instead, you have to wait and hope one appears. Because of this, regardless of which method you choose, it will likely take quite some time and playing a few different matches to successfully finish this quest.
