Fortnite: Eliminate a Player With No Ranged Weapons in Your Inventory and While on Foot

Method 1

The first approach to completing this quest centers around eliminating an AFK player with a harvesting tool, as they will obviously mount no resistance. While players may encounter an AFK opponent during standard gameplay, they can increase their chances by staying on the Battle Bus until the end of its journey. Indeed, anyone that remains on Fortnite’s Battle Bus for that long will be deployed automatically, and players will often find someone that has gone idle at the beginning of a match among those that have been kicked off the vehicle.

Method 2

The second method looks to complete the quest by scoring an elimination with a harvesting tool against an AI-controlled opponent, as those targets will not fight back in a meaningful way. Fortnite players can consistently encounter these types of foes by joining a bot lobby, and they should make sure that they clear out the inventories before engaging them with their pickaxe. For those players that are unclear about exactly how to join a bot lobby, here is a step-by-step walkthrough:

Create a new Epic Games account. Use the new account to log in to Fortnite on a second device. Put the main account and new account into an in-game group. Join a Duos, Trios, or Squads match in Fortnite with the group to enter a bot lobby.

Method 3

The final method is perhaps the most-straightforward of them all, though it may lead to some amount of frustration. Quite simply, players should look to deploy from the Battle Bus alongside a group, set their sights on one opponent, and follow them all the way to the ground. Immediately upon landing, fans should start whacking the targeted opponent with their harvesting tools. If the player is quick with their actions, they should get the jump on their foe, secure the requisite elimination, and complete this quest in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
