Fortnite Season 7: Snowfall challenges replace Hunting Party as secret Battle Star returns

If you’re wondering what the Fortnite Season 7 equivalent of Hunting Party challenges will be, it looks like the answer is ‘Snowfall Challenges’.

Throughout Season 6, players were given hints at the end of a week’s standard challenges via a loading screen. This loading screen was related to a bonus ‘Hunting Party’ challenge that involved finding a hidden Battle Star or banner somewhere on the map.

Complete enough of the weeks, and players unlocked a mystery Hunting Party skin which turned out to be the A.I.M outfit. This popular challenge was also seen in other forms previously – Blockbuster challenges in Season 4 and Road Trip challenges in Season 5.

For Season 7, the assumption is that the ‘Snowfall’ challenges, which were originally leaked by @lucas7yoshi_ on Twitter, will work in a similar way.

As you can see in the image below, players will need to complete a host of challenges throughout the season in order to unlock a mystery skin:

Whether or not the Snowfall challenge will work in an identical way to previous seasons is currently unknown.

Once we’ve worked our way through all of the Week 1 challenges, which were released  on December 6 when the v7.00 patch downtime ended, we’ll find the Battle Star or Banner and update you!

Season 7 already promises to be one of the best yet for Fortnite fans. The new Iceberg biome has added a huge amount of room to the map and there are a tonne of other changes besides.

Players will also get the chance to take to the skies like never before thanks to the addition of the all-new X-4 Stormwing plane!
