Fortnite Treasure Map Flush Factory: Week 3 Challenges SOLVED for PS4, Xbox, Switch gamers
2PM BST PSA: Fortnite Challenges are now live.
Fortnite Challenges for Season 5 Week 2 are nearly upon us and should be going live in a couple of hours.
Of course, there's just the small matter of the Fortnite server downtime this morning for some unexpected maintenance announced last night.
The game servers will go offline at 9am BST and it's not clear when Fortnite will come back online, but when it does the new challenges will be available.
Unlike in past seasons, changes to the game since the launch of Season 5 means these challenges aren't just relevant for Battle Pass holders, but every player, regardless if they purchased the Battle Pass.
For those who need a reminder, The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks and you can buy a bundle of 1,000 V-Bucks for roughly £8, or earn the V-Bucks in-game through various activities.
Why should you complete these challenges? Well, they help you gain XP that can be used to level up, and Battle Stars to rank up the Battle Pass. This ultimately means more free skins, gliders, pickaxes, emotes and more throughout the season.
You need to complete four of the seven challenges to get your bonus 4000 XP. The other three won't give you an extra XP, but will help you unlock a mystery loading screen that hides a secret Battle Star in the map.
One of the harder tasks presented by Epic Games this week, worth 5 Battle Stars, reads: "Follow the treasure map found in Flush Factory".
Those of you looking for a quick explainer are in luck. Keep reading and check out the gallery (below) to discover how to complete this new weekly challenge with minimal fuss.

This task isn't that tricky, however, if you've not played for a while or maybe ain't as clued up to the numerous landmarks on the map, you might need a little helping hand.
You want to head towards the big hilltop slap bang in between Salty Springs, Shifty Shafts and Fatal Fields.
If all goes well you should find the battle star outside the house near the dirt road.
