Place Fire Traps Fortnite

Fire traps were added to Fortnite in the v14.00 patch update. They are of uncommon rarity and can be found in chests, as floor loot, and in Loot Llamas. Fire Traps will fire fireballs which will create fire upon collision on an object.

The amount of damage fire traps deal upon impact to players is  50 and they have a reload time of 7 seconds. So, when a fire trap goes off, it’ll take 7 seconds before it’ll be able to shoot fireballs again.

The fireballs the trap shoots out can only travel as far as 3 tiles, and it only activates when players are within a 3 tile range.

A quick way to complete this challenge would be to drop in a large location that players won’t land at. When you’re in the battle bus, look for a far named location that has good loot. You should easily be able to find 3 fire traps to place in order to complete this challenge.

You can also go into a team rumble game and just aim the the supply drops that come down. You should almost always find yourself getting a fire trap from supply drops and there’s a bunch of supply drops that come down in Team Rumble especially towards the end of a game. It’s probably best to get three and then put three walls up and place all the fire traps.

Luckily, this challenge doesn’t require players to deal damage with a fire trap as that would be much harder to complete. However, players simply need to place a fire trap three times to complete the challenge. You can do this in a single match, so you should be able to complete it in one game.
