There's no real right or wrong way to complete today's challenge since there's only one correct way to get Eliminations with the daily unvaulted weapon or a drumgun - and thats by doing exactly what it says.
That said, there are ways to do it with a bit more speed if you don't want to delay in getting that new Water Baloon toy.
Fortnite Intel, experts of the game, have the following advice:
"If you are looking to complete any elimination challenge quickly, you’ll want to hot drop into a busy location with a lot of loot. You’ve three good options for hot drops: Loot Carrier Hot Spots, Neo Tilted, and Team Rumble."
Follow the link above for more details, but it's a good start if you want to help make your task a little easier.
The third challenge of the day have been revealed and it's relatively easy.
Today players need to get 5 Eliminations with the daily unvaulted weapon or a Drumgun in order to complete the challenge.
Once you do this, you'll earn the new Water Balloon toy.
This is especially important as you'll need the Water Baloon toy to complete another challenge in the coming days. That challenge read: 'Hit a player with a water balloon in different matches'.
The LTM and Unvaulted weapon change hasn't taken place just yet, but should be changing shortly so stand by for more details.
Original Story - Fortnite's special '14 days of Summer' event continues today with Day 3 of this digital vacation of content from Epic Games.
If you're sat thinking, what is '14 days of Fortnite'? Well, you've got a quick explainer at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, read on!
With Day 3 commencing today, it will, of course, mean that players will once again have a brand new LTM's to enjoy, replacing the games current LTM - the Use With Care mode - released on Wednesday.
We also have a new unvaulted weapon arriving in the game, set to replace the Quad launcher that was released yesterday.
Assuming Epic Games stick to the scheduled we should see the Thursday LTM and Weapon changeover at 1pm GMT.
For those wondering we also got a new skin set in the Item Shop late last night, this was for the Toy Soldier set, which included the Plastic Patroller (800 V-bucks) or Toy Trooper (also 800 V-Bucks)
That won't be all though, because we should see yet more challenges and rewards released later today too.
14 Days of Summer Day 3 Challenge
Prior to the start of the event all challenges were leaked ahead of time. These included everything from dealing Damage with unvaulted weapon types to Hitting a player with a water balloon.
For Day 1 players simply had to Dance at different beach parties. On Day 2, players had to Bounce a giant beach ball in different matches.
The only problem is that no one knows currently what order these challenges will arrive in.
