One of Fortnite's challenges this week is to search 100 chests. It's a strange challenge, rewarding 80 XP instead of the usual 000. It is also a very long and endless quest that seems to confuse people. The reason is that it says “Rec 35 players” next to it.
Some people don't read it correctly, which means it takes four players to complete it. We've even seen some Youtubers claiming to have information about a series of quests that can only be completed in squads that come into the game. This, to our knowledge, is not at all true, for a simple reason. You don't need four players at all to complete this challenge, and you don't need to be in a squad for the game to have all of the chests you're looking for for this challenge.
You can complete this challenge very well in Solos. “Rec: 4 players” doesn't mean four players are needed, it just means Epic is letting you know that they recommend having four players to do this quickly. If you're playing in a squad, any chest that a squad member searches for will count, but in Solos you'll have to research them all yourself. There you have it, there's no real cause for confusion about this, and Epic doesn't force you to play Squads.
Chests researched anywhere on the map will count, in solos, duos or squads. Obviously, you need to find a good balance between landing on areas with a lot of chests and not having to endlessly fight other players over them, but we suggest you play your matches as you normally would and that won't take you long to finish it. .
