It's no secret that Fortnite is a challenge, depending on your skill level. Earning eliminations and winning matches against more skilled players is a tall order in and of itself. Even so, Fortnite provides endless possibilities in a given match.

You can try the "One Chest Challenge" or the "Four Corners Challenge," both of which are intense and would leave you satisfied if completed. Here is a list of some Fortnite challenges you can try by yourself or with friends to add another layer of intrigue to your experience.

The Four Corners Challenge

This is perhaps the most well-known challenge, popularized by streamers like NickEh30, SypherPK, CouRageJD, and many others. The Four Corners Challenge tasks you and three teammates with dropping in four separate corners of the map.

Your ultimate goal is to battle through all potential enemies, meet in the center of the Storm Circle, and earn the Victory Royale. The video above is a recent example of the Four Corners challenge and how you can approach it.

The Four Corners Challenge in Fortnite is perfect in Battle Royale, Zero Build, or even Fortnite OG, and it's one your squad should have atop the list to conquer.

The One Chest Challenge

Another of the Fortnite challenges made popular by various YouTubers is the 'One Chest Challenge.' This one is as straightforward as it sounds. The objective is to open only one chest in a Fortnite match and attempt to win the game using only the loot in that chest.

That means if you get an Uncommon Pistol and a Crash Pad, that is your loadout for the match. There are a few different ways to approach this. As in the video above from Icon Series member Lachlan, you can grab heals and ammo from eliminated opponents, but no weapons or throwables.

You can tailor the rules to your liking in the One Chest Challenge, but the basic idea is to utilize the loot from only one chest to win a game.

The One Weapon Challenge

Like the One Chest Challenge, the 'One Weapon Challenge' is simple. After landing in a Fortnite match, your objective is to pick up one weapon and win with just that. It could be a Common Pistol, Rare Assault Rifle, or something much better.

As in Fortnite YouTuber Prospering's video above, he lands on the train in Chapter 6 Season 2 and grabs a Mythic Assault Rifle from the moving train. That is the only weapon he can use for the game's duration, and it's a smart strategy.

You can make this Fortnite challenge more difficult by grabbing a less-effective weapon. Regardless, you can stock up on as many healing and non-lethal items as needed to complete this quest.

The Vehicle Only Challenge

The next Fortnite challenge is not for the faint of heart: the 'Vehicles Only Challenge.' It was tough to find recent examples of this, likely given the difficulty level in overcoming this seemingly impossible feat. Your goal in this one is to use only Vehicles to win a Fortnite match.

This one is so arduous because vehicles explode with little effort. All it takes is one enemy to unload a magazine into your car, and you're out of luck if there isn't another in the area. The Vehicles Only Challenge is even more difficult due to the lack of a Repair Tool and Vehicle Mods.

Your best bet to complete this, the most difficult of Fortnite challenges, is to remain in an area with many vehicles, fill out your inventory with mobility items, and pray that the lobby swings in your favor.

The No-Eliminations Victory Royale

On second thought, the Vehicles Only Challenge might not be as tricky as the No Eliminations Challenge. Once again, the objective here sounds simple in theory but incredibly hard in practice. You have to earn a Victory Royale without eliminating a single opponent.

There are a few ways to approach this because you can technically eliminate an opponent without it counting as an elimination. As you'll see in the video above, streamers SypherPK, CouRageJD, Cizzorz, and LEGIQN combined two Fortnite challenges: No Eliminations and Four Corners.

However, rather than not eliminating other players, this squad utilizes the strategy of Shockwave Grandes and slide kicks to launch enemies into the storm. You could try the alternative plan, but getting the job done will require a lot of patience and luck.

The 'Act Like an NPC' Challenge

Unlike the other Victory Royale-based Fortnite challenges, the 'Act Like an NPC' Challenge is a more comical approach to this concept. The idea is to walk around a specific area like a non-player character. Then, once you have your opponents right where you want them, you spring the attack.

Content creators like SypherPK and NickEh30 often attempt this challenge, usually with hilarious results. The only downside is not hearing the reactions of those on the receiving end. Either way, this is a hilarious way to enjoy Fortnite.

The Pickaxe Only Challenge

The dreaded Pickaxe Only Challenge is the final Fortnite challenge worth addressing. It ranks atop the difficult tier list alongside the Vehicles Only Challenge, tasking you with winning a match only using your Pickaxe.

This one requires patience and an expert degree in stealth. Let's face it, you will not eliminate more than one or two enemies using just a Pickaxe. So, take the 'No Elimination' approach; keep your head down, lurk in the shadows, and try to strike when the opportunity presents itself.
