The latest Fortnite 8.40 update is set to introduce a new series of challenges for players to complete and earn rewards. The Fortnite Air Royale challenges take place in the new limited time mode event, with free tasks available for any player to attempt for a chance to win new wraps. This duos-only mode allows players to take flight in the new X-4 Stormwing planes, with challenges based on repetitive tasks, including collecting certain items or playing through multiple games. Read on for our Fortnite Air Royale challenge cheat sheet and a roundup of the rewards up for grabs.
Fortnite Air Royale | Challenge cheat sheet and rewards
The Fortnite Air Royale challenges offer bonus XP for some challenges, but also have specific challenges to win each of the four new wraps included in the 8.40 update. While the majority of these challenges aren’t yet live, you can already earn the Callsign Skull wrap in the challenges. All you need to do is play 7 matches of the Air Royale limited time mode to completion, and you will earn the first new wrap. This won’t work if you immediately log out once the match begins to find the next one, but you can still be eliminated early on to quickly complete the challenge.
The remaining two challenges each offer 500 bonus XP for completing their tasks, which you can easily complete while playing through the 7 matches for the wrap. The first challenge asks you to deal 4,000 damage with a Minigun or SMG to opposing Stormwings, which is more quickly completed if you play aggressively. However, keep an eye out for Sky Chests, as the other challenge tasks you with collecting all 5 different rarities of the chests across multiple games. It’s not yet clear how difficult it is to find the rarest of these chests, but collecting these will also help you survive.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
