Where to find & destroy Slurp Barrels for Fortnite Week 7 challenges
Here’s how you can complete the Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenge that requires you to destroy Slurp Barrels.
Fortnite Season 5’s Week 7 challenges include an Epic Quest that has you destroy Slurp Barrels. Luckily, you can find these in one location so here’s the best way to complete this objective.
Week 7 of Fortnite Season 5 is here, and Epic Games have released brand new challenges for you to complete to level up and get cool new gear. This week has eight tasks available that you can learn more about in our weekly guide.
Many of these are fairly easy to complete such as visiting houses or consuming shield potions. One Epic Quest requires you to destroy a set number of Slurp Barrels. Here is where you can find them on the map.
Where to find Fortnite Slurp Barrels
As the name implies, you will come across a ton of Slurp Barrels when exploring Slurpy Swamp. This location is a huge Slurp factory, so you won’t face any trouble finding the barrels after a quick look around.

Another Epic quest from this week requires you to visit 3 Houses in Slurpy Swamp during the same match, so you should land directly at Slurpy after jumping from the Battle Bus. Once you’ve gone through the houses, you can focus on your other objective.
Fortunately, the Slurp Barrels often come in sets of two or three, which makes them easy to locate. It shouldn’t take you too long to find them all. There’s a building on the northeast end of this area that contains many of them.
Make your way towards that building if you want to destroy multiple Slurp Barrels at once. We’ve marked its location on the map below.
Once you come across the barrels, all you need to do is pull out your pickaxe and destroy them. The Slurp Barrels are all over this location so finding 10 should be easy enough, and you can destroy them all in a single match.

Just be careful about other players that you will probably encounter while exploring Slurpy Swamp. Due to this week’s challenges, many of them will have the same idea to land there, so be ready for a fight.
Destroying all 10 barrels will net you 20,000 XP, so be sure to try this challenge out. While you’re at it, be sure to search for Chests in the area to complete another Epic Quest.

How to unlock Horizon Zero Dawn Aloy skin in Fortnite
Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn will be coming to Fortnite Season 6 as a new skin, and here’s how you can get your hands on it.
Some new Fortnite leaks have revealed that Chapter 2, Season 6 will feature a Horizon Zero Dawn crossover in the form of an LTM, and the protagonist Aloy will be coming as a new skin.
Epic Games love surprising Fortnite fans by introducing crossover content to the battle royale. Season 5 brought in skins from Street Fighter, Terminator, and God of War among others. Now, the devs have some more planned for Season 6.
The Battle Pass already features Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft and Rebirth Raven from the Teen Titans. Now, Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn will be making her way to the battle royale’s Item Shop as a new skin, and here’s how you can unlock her.
Notable Fortnite data miner HYPEX stated that Aloy’s skin will become available in-game from April 15, and Epic Games will also add a Horizon Zero Dawn-themed LTM to the battle royale.
You’ll be able to get the entire Horizon Zero Dawn Bundle entirely for free by participating in the PS4 and PS5 exclusive Aloy Cup that’s scheduled for April 14, 2021. The bundle will be awarded to the top-performing teams a day before it arrives in the Item Shop.
Bonus points will be given for eliminations with a bow, which is Aloy’s signature weapon in Horizon Zero Dawn. Adding Aloy to Fortnite makes perfect sense as the new season is titled “Primal” and Horizon Forbidden West will release later this year.
You’ll be able to compete in 10 Duos matches over three hours to score as many eliminations as you can. If you want to participate, then you can find out the time for your region by checking the Compete tab in the game.
There will also be a new LTM titled “Lead Alloy” which will reportedly include a team-up between Aloy and Lara Croft. This will grant you the opportunity to upgrade all weapons to Legendary rarity.
We’ll keep checking for any more details about Fortnite’s Horizon Zero Dawn crossover, and will update you as soon as we learn something new.

Fortnite v16.20 Update patch notes
Vehicle mods
Vehicle mods have long been rumored for Fortnite, and finally they have arrived courtesy of the April 13 update. Epic teased their arrival by tweeting: “Trick out your ride with new wheels,” hinting at the fact that players can now equip new items that have different uses depending on terrain.
These new tires have different behavior depending on whether they are being driven on dirt, grass, or the road, and are difficult for enemies to pop.
New Bows & Duos Cup
On top of vehicle mods, there are also two new Bows for players to use, with the Grappler and Splinter Bow introduced in the 16.30 update.
The Splinter Bow will deal 100 damage to players, making it a useful tool to have in your inventory, while the Grappler Bow will let users zipline across the map.
The introduction of the two new bows will also lead to a “special Duos Cup,” with the bows acting as the weapon of choice.
On top of that, Creative Mode is about to get a whole lot bigger, with 50 player matchmaking now enabled.
Bug Fixes
As always, Epic have been working hard to fix the bugs and glitches that have been affecting the game over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, the devs don’t release a full list of everything they’ve addressed, but thanks to their official Trello page, we can see what they’ve been working on.

How to find out how much your Fortnite skins are worth
Fortnite.GG have introduced a new feature that lets players show off their lockers and see how many V-Bucks they’ve spent on Fortnite skins.
There is a brand-new feature on Fortnite.gg that allows you to quickly figure out how much the different Fortnite cosmetics in your locker are worth in V-Bucks.
Fortnite players can unlock various different cosmetic items in the battle royale by progressing through the Battle Pass, or by purchasing them from the Item Store. Crossovers with franchises like Terminator, DC, and Predator have popularized these.
If you’ve been playing Fortnite for a while, then you’ll have a fairly large collection of skins, and calculating their value is a time-taking process. Fortunately, the website Fortnite.gg has created a tool that speeds this up.
How to check the value of your Fortnite locker
If you visit Fortnite.gg, you can use a tool to sign in and link your Epic Games account. This will allow you to view all the skins, bundles, emotes, and other in-game purchases that are in your account.
If you want to look through your locker and see how many V-Bucks you’ve spent, here’s what you need to do:
- Go to Fortnite.GG
- Hit the drop-down menu in the top-left corner
- Navigate to “My Locker”
- Sign in with your Epic Games account
While it’s useful to show off your Fortnite locker, Epic Games have strongly suggested that players change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication to protect their security and privacy.
Unfortunately, Fortnite.gg have temporarily removed the Sign-In feature. They put out a statement reassuring players that their personal data hadn’t been breached, and they would work with Epic Games to prioritize security.
You’ll be able to check your locker again after the website brings in an Epic-Games-Store-linked login page. Fortnite.gg suggests regularly checking their Twitter account for updates.
We’ll keep an eye on this situation, and will update you once there are any new developments.
