The Train Heist is an action-packed challenge that requires you to board a moving train, hack a chest, and survive the chaos. Here’s how you can complete this quest:
Find the Train: The train will appear randomly on the map, following a specific track. To make it easier to locate, check your minimap for the train icon. The train is always on the move, so you need to act fast.
Catch the Train: You can land directly on the train at the start of the match or chase it using a vehicle. It’s essential to catch up quickly since the train moves along the tracks.
Hack the Giant Chest: Once you’re on the train, look for a giant chest. Interact with it using your action button to hack it. The chest will start glowing yellow, but once you hack it, the light will turn blue and a timer will start.
Defend Against Ambushes: As you hack the chest, the timer is visible on the map, which might attract other players to the train, especially when it stops at stations or points of interest. Be ready for potential ambushes as others try to steal your loot.
Complete the Heist: If you manage to defend the chest and let the timer run out, you’ll successfully complete the Train Heist challenge.

Storm Forecast Towers are key locations for gathering vital information about upcoming storm circles. Capturing these towers will help you plan your strategy and avoid the storm, giving you a tactical advantage. Here’s how to capture a Storm Forecast Tower:
Locate the Towers: There are six Storm Forecast Towers scattered across the island. Only a few of them will be active during each match. To identify the active towers, check your minimap for highlighted antenna icons that indicate these locations.
Wait for the Second Circle: Storm Forecast Towers become active after the second storm circle. At this point, you’ll be able to interact with them and gather storm intel.
Defeat NPCs for Keycards: Once you reach an active Storm Forecast Tower, look for a new icon on your map representing a black mask. This indicates the locations of three NPCs guarding the tower. Defeat them to obtain a keycard.
Activate the Keycard: Use the keycard to unlock a small building near the tower. Once inside, activate the keycard, and you’ll receive crucial information about the upcoming storm circle. This intel will appear on your minimap, helping you plan your movements and rotations.
Team Assistance: If you’re playing with teammates, the challenge is team-assisted. If any of your squadmates completes the Train Heist or Storm Forecast Tower challenge, it will count for you as well.
Complete These Challenges for Big Rewards
Both the Train Heist and Storm Forecast Tower challenges require some strategy and quick thinking, but they’re certainly achievable with the right approach. By completing these quests, you can gain valuable experience points and unlock rewards to level up your Battle Pass.
Whether you’re hijacking a train or gathering storm intel, these challenges are a great way to test your skills in Fortnite.
