Fortnite will throw up a challenge every now and then that I have little interest in trying to do. Not because it's bad, but because I'm bad. This just might be one of those challenges. However, I have a sneaky tendency that makes up for my lack of competence. In this guide, I'll show you where to find Fortnite Chapter 2 gas pumps, and how to damage an opponent with one.
Fortnite - Where to deal damage by shooting gas pumps - Gas pump locations
On the map above, you'll see the locations of the various gas pumps in Fortnite Chapter 2. The area around Holly Hedges, Salty Springs, Pleasant Park all have them. There's one east of Pleasant Park, across the river. Another is located directly east of Frenzy Farm, with another to the south.
Now, I've been lucky, or smart, however you want to interpret it. I can't say it will work for you, but it worked for me. I went to Salty Springs which was directly under the bus line which caused a lot of people to dive in that direction definitely for this challenge. I fell near the gas pumps and managed to take a sniper rifle. Then I hide, with the pumps in sight, until someone comes in to loot the place. A gunshot started the pump and they could not extricate themselves in time to avoid damage after the explosion a few seconds later. I saw other players dancing happily near the pumps, clearly waiting for someone to finish their challenge by taking advantage of their kindness. So well done to these guys. Remember that you don't need to kill someone, but inflict any damage on them.
I can see this is difficult for a lot of people to finish, as you have to wait for someone to get close enough to take the damage, and the challenge instantly makes gas pumps a hot spot where people don't want to go. to visit. If you are very lucky, there might be a robot nearby who will happily walk past for you.
