If you’ve found yourself taking damage when nobody’s around in Fortnite and can’t figure out what on earth is happening, you’re not alone. This article covers why players are taking ticking damage and dying outside of the storm due to a new Season 3 feature.
If you find yourself being damaged in Fortnite as if you’re standing in the Storm, it’s because you currently have an active Wastelander Challenge.
Wastelander Challenges are optional match-specific challenges accepted at Wastelander Beacons across the Island. In exchange for bonus XP, Wastelander Challenges apply negative affects for the rest of the match, such as taking damage when standing still or touching the ground.
A complete list of negative effects (debuffs) from Wastelander Challenges in Fortnite include:
So, if you find yourself taking ticking damage in your next round of Fortnite, it’s because you picked up one of three Wastelander Challenges that damage you when touching the ground, standing still, or picking up an item. At the very least, you can still heal and use a modded vehicle to counteract your debuffs.
If you find yourself clipped by a sweat because you couldn’t quickly reload or restore your health/shield, that’s also due to accepting a Wastelander Challenge.
If your aim is to get that sweet Victory Royale, it’s typically best to ignore Wastelander Challenges. If you’re looking for a challenge to spice things up, have a Quest, or are desperate for some XP, then go ahead. Just make sure you’re prepared to handle them.
