Along with many spooky new quests for Fortnitmares 2021, players will be getting tons to do in Fortnite this October. Players will be able to nab up some Fortnite and Squid Games crossover items, complete special quests, and earn loads of XP. One of these quest chains players can complete is Ragsy's Punchcard.
What is Ragsy's Punchcard in Fortnite
Ragsy's Punchcard is a collection of quests that will give the player a total of 150,000 XP when completed. There are five quests to be completed in order to get all of that sweet Fortnite XP.
- Purchase a Shield from a Vending Machine
- Consume a Small Shield Potion and consume a Fortnite Shield Fish
- Harvest Stone from Sideways Rocks
- Use a shield item while in the Sideways
- Take damage from an enemy player and survive
While most of these will be a breeze for players, taking damage and surviving the hit can be hard for many. Here are some tips to help survive a close encounter.
How to Take Damage from an Enemy Player and Survive in Fortnite
Along with all the other spooky Halloween events going on in this Battle Royal, players will have to get up close and personal with nearly dying from an opponent to complete Ragsy's shield-themed Punchcard. This means that players will need to take a hit. Surviving will require distance, potions, and prep, or a player's chance of dying will be high before they can nab all that bonus XP. Fortnite considers "surviving" about 15 seconds after a hit has connected. So players need to find a location with an enemy, get hit at least once, then live for 15 seconds to complete the quest.
Distance is the biggest key for getting a little damaged without dying; players who get too close to enemies will most likely get taken out by a hard-hitting shotgun, or a Fortnite player could damage them with a grenade and make staying alive for those 15 seconds a lot harder. Keep within range of an AR, but far enough away to prevent being one-shot.
Next, players will want to ensure that they have an escape plan. Having plenty of building materials, potions, and shield potions to survive the post-damage seconds are crucial to completing that Punchcard. This makes location important too; having a building or other large object to duck behind can make surviving just a touch easier. Another hint for Fortnite players out there: don't give up. This challenge will be challenging for some, but don't lose heart if it takes a few tries to check off this difficult item on the Punchcard.
Fortnite is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
