The end of Chapter 5 Season 2 in Fortnite saw Jones’ victory over Zeus, setting the stage for new challenges in Chapter 5 Season 3. With Hope now focused on gathering crucial intel on the main antagonist, Megalo Don, players are drawn into a compelling narrative through Story Quests.
These tasks kick off with the “Welcome to the Wasteland” quests, introducing players to the new storyline and characters in the season. Completing these missions not only provides insight into the evolving plot of Fortnite Wrecked but also offers valuable XP to help progress through the Battle Pass.
Welcome to the Wasteland Story Quests
Talk to Hope and Jones: These two characters are positioned close together within the Wasteland biome. Players can find Hope at Sandy Steppes. On the other hand, Jones, distinguished by his Vengeance Jonesy outfit, is located at The Wreckmill, which is just west of Sandy Steppes.
Damage opponents while boosting in vehicles (100): This quest involves inflicting damage while using vehicle boosts. To complete it, players need to ram into opponents. It’s noteworthy that this task can be fulfilled by targeting bots and boss henchmen, not just other players.
Destroy objects or structures while infused with Nitro (100): Here, players must destroy objects while under Nitro infusion. This can be done in two ways:
- Using a vehicle with a Cow Catcher mod: Ram into objects to destroy them.
- On foot: Press the sprint button under Nitro’s effect, which lets the player bulldoze through structures, causing up to 300 damage.
Install vehicle mods (4): Players can find and install four vehicle mods. Service stations across the map offer various mods for cars, providing ample opportunities to complete this quest.
Search containers at Wasteland Landmarks (10): Unlike other quests, this one requires searching containers at specific landmarks instead of named locations. Look for chests, ammo boxes, and produce boxes at these landmarks to progress.
Collect surveillance devices at different Wasteland locations (6): Surveillance devices are scattered across the island’s wasteland landmarks. Here are the locations where players can find them:
- Sand Steppes
- Dam Bridge landmark
- Megalo Depot landmark
- South of The Wreckmill
- Brutal Beachhead
- Lil Dirty Dock landmark
- Redline Rig
By visiting these sites, players can collect all the necessary devices to complete this quest. The tasks are straightforward, encouraging players to explore different areas and employ a variety of strategies to succeed.
Welcome to the Wasteland Quest Rewards
In Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite, completing each of the six story quests grants players 15,000 XP. This amounts to a total reward of 90,000 XP for finishing all the Welcome to the Wasteland quests. While these rewards are substantial in terms of experience points, no additional items or bonuses are awarded for completing the first stages of the story quests.
Rewards Breakdown
| Quest Stage | XP Reward per Quest | Total XP Earned |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15,000 XP | 15,000 XP |
| 2 | 15,000 XP | 30,000 XP |

These quests serve as an introduction to the season, with expectations that subsequent quests will offer more varied and enticing rewards.
