There is a brand new challenge in Fortnite that instructs players to drop kick a soccer ball toy as Neymar Jr. To complete this challenges, fans will need to kick their toy a total of 500 meters, and those that do will receive the Joia Trophy Back Bling as a reward for their efforts. For those players that may be having some trouble tackling this task, this guide contains full details on distance drop kicking in Fortnite.
The first step to completing this challenge is to unlock Fortnite's Neymar Jr. skin, and that is done by helping soccer characters with various quests. For the uninitiated, soccer characters can be found at Holly Hedges, Pleasant Park, and Dirty Docks, and fans can access their quests by interacting with them and looking to the options that appear at the bottom of the screen. Once a player has finished enough quests to earn the Neymar Jr. skin, they should equip the cosmetic and move onto the next phase of the challenge.
That next phase is to do the actual drop kicking of the toy, and players may have noticed that they unlocked the item upon speaking to a soccer character in Fortnite for the very first time. To kick the toy, a fan simply needs to select it from their emote wheel, and the distance of each kick will be counted toward the completion of the challenge. As such, players can finish the task by repeatedly kicking the soccer ball toy at any location, though there is a way to speed things up considerably.
Specifically, players can increase the distances of their drop kicks dramatically by performing them from the tops of tall ramps. Fans can gain some additional elevation by building these ramps in Fortnite's mountainous regions, and it should only take a few kicks to hit the 500 meter mark. Navigating to one of these areas may be more trouble than it is worth, though, and players will have to decide for themselves exactly how much time they want to dedicate to setting up their drop kicks.
To note, there is another challenge that requires fans to score a goal with soccer ball toy as Neymar Jr., and completing it is as simple as kicking the toy into a goal near one of the three soccer characters. The reward for finishing that task is the Jaguar Strike Pickaxe, and it should be an absolute breeze for Fortnite players to get that done.
