Uh oh, we seem to have a “Fortnite Challenges Not Working” situation here, with the game’s Week 5 Challenges failing to load for players. We’re now into Fortnite Season 4 and players are used to a Tuesday reset. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case today, with the Week 5 challenges experiencing a delay. Here’s what you need to know about this week’s objectives and the future weekly reset time.

If you’re booting up Fortnite and wondering what the “Week 5 Challenges available in 0 seconds” error means, you aren’t the only one who’s puzzled. Lots of players appear to be encountering the problem, as seen by the huge number of complaints across social media and Reddit.
Epic Games has acknowledged the “Week 5 Challenges available in 0 seconds” error, explaining that it is a result of an intentional change to the Challenges release time. Instead of the usual Tuesday cycle, Fortnite Challenges will instead be launching on Thursdays.
