Epic Games have unvaulted Fortnite’s Primal Bows, and launched a set of challenges to go alongside them. Here’s how to get all of the bows, and how to complete the Bownanza Quests.

Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 has entered its final few weeks, and Epic Games are introducing themed weeks to round off the season. Bownanza Week kicked off on February 22, bringing the Primal Bows back to the island for a limited time.

Bownanza Week also includes some Bow-themed Quests, so here’s how to get your hands on the Flame, Shockwave, Stink & Explosive Bows, as well as how to complete all of the challenges.

Fortnite’s Bownanza Week kicked off on February 22, unvaulting the Primal Bows and introducing the Bownanza Quests. The event will end on March 1 at 5:59 AM PT / 8:59 AM ET / 1:59 PM GMT, so make sure you get all of the Quests done before then.

Here are all of Fortnite’s Bownanza Quests:

  • Impulse wildlife using a Mechanical Shockwave Bow in different matches (2) – 8,000 XP
  • Hunt wildlife using a bow (3) – 8,000 XP
  • Hit IO Forces using a Primal Flame Bow (7) – 8,000 XP
  • Eliminate opponents using a Mechanical Explosive Bow (3) – 8,000 XP
  • Damage players using a Primal Stink Bow (250) – 8,000 XP

Completing Fortnite’s Bownanza Quests isn’t too difficult of a task, as long as you know where to find all of the bows. You’ll get 40,000 XP for completing them all, which will be a healthy boost to your level ahead of Season 2.

Luckily, all you have to do is search Chests and ground loot to find the Flame, Shockwave, Stink, and Explosive Bows in Fortnite’s Bownanza Week. Plus, Arrows can be found in Ammo Boxes.

You don’t have to worry about crafting them, so just search around the island and fight players and you’ll eventually find the bows. Then, refer back to the Bownanza Quests and you’ll be able to cross some challenges off the checklist.

The bows will be removed when Bownanza Week ends on March 1, so make sure you take advantage of them while you can. Then, more items will be unvaulted as part of the next themed week.
