The Ghostbusters have challenges in Fortnite season 8. They come along with their own location and quests for players to complete for XP.
A Ghostbuster has been found in Fortnite season 8 with new quests for the player. To celebrate the release of the upcoming film, Ghostbuster: Afterlife, Epic Games has added a new Ghostbuster NPC on the map. It's common for Fortnite to work together with other popular brands for cross-promotional material like they have with Marvel, DC, and Disney, but this time, this NPC can help players earn XP towards their Battle Pass. Before players can start their challenges, they will need to find their exact location on the map first.
The Containment Specialist is the NPC in charge of the Ghostbusters: Afterlife questline. They will provide the player with five different challenges to complete, each one providing players with 30,000 XP for finishing. This brings the grand total to 150,000 XP on this NPC alone. This is easily the fastest way to level up in Fortnite season 8. These are all of their challenges.
- Deploy Seismographs in Misty Meadows or Catty Corner: 30K XP.
- Exterminate mini-pufts with a pickaxe in Sludgy Swamp, Lazy Lake, or Retail Row: 30K XP.
- Retrieve mechanical parts by destroying cars: 30K XP.
- Place Ghostbuster signs in Holly Hedges, Dirty Docks, or Pleasant Park: 30K XP.
- Deploy a Ghost Trap: 30K XP.
Before players can start this questline, they will need to locate the Containment Specialist. Fortunately, they can find him wandering around in the corner of the map, southeast of Misty Meadows. Players can also only carry five Character Quests at a time. Players can share Fortnite quests with friends to make clearing these challenges go faster. They will need to clear out any quests they already have before they can begin this one. It's important to mention that this quest is only available for a limited time and will be removed from the game at the end of the month. Players should prioritize finishing out this challenge before any of the others.
Ghostbusters Location and Quests in Fortnite Season 8
Fortnite players should focus on landing in the location shown above at the start of the match. It isn't a named location so it won't be as heavily populated when attempting to reach the Containment Specialist. Speak with him and accept his first quest to begin his questline.
For the first quest, players will need to deploy seismographs in either Misty Meadows or Catty Corner. Both locations will feature a blue icon where the seismographs are supposed to be placed. Upon finishing this first challenge, the next one will be automatically added to the player's quest list. While the Ghostbusters crossover leaked ahead of the Fortnitemares event, there's still lots to do for players to benefit from clearing it out. Complete them before the Containment Specialist is removed from the game.
