Fortnite's Epic quests have arrived for players to complete to earn extra XP towards the Season 7 Battle Pass. These quests can range from collecting certain items, doing certain actions to other players, or defeating powerful NPCs. One of the Epic quests for Week 7 requires players to find and defeat Riot, an NPC with a mohawk and a jean jacket.
By using this guide, Fortnite players can find out the exact location of Riot and how to defeat him in battle.
Riot Location in Fortnite Season 7
Riot can be found in the southern section of the map, southwest of Catty Corner, and directly east of Misty Meadows. In the spot circled in red on the map down below, there is a long bridge that is a landmark called Yellow Steel Bridge. Near the eastern exit of the bridge, there's a small campground near a payphone station, and that's where Riot can be found.
How to Defeat Riot in Fortnite
Defeating Riot isn't as hard as one might think. Going into this battle without any shields or any powerful guns will be a mistake. But if players come into the fight with max shield, full health, and maybe an Epic or Rare weapon, there should not be too many issues taking Riot out. However, it's crucial that players loot chests and houses for a decent gun or two and shield potions. There might also be other players trying to take down Riot, so gamers should make sure to keep an eye out before someone gets the upper hand on them.
Once Riot is taken down, the quest objective will be completed, and Fortnite players will earn XP. After that's all done, players can continue to complete some of the other Epic quests this week, like one that involves reaching top speed in the new Ferrari 296 GTB vehicle that players can now test drive in the game. The car can be found in a garage just west of Holly Hatchery, previously known as Holly Hedges, before it started to get overrun by alien paraphernalia.
Anf for Season 7, Week 7, there are some new Alien Artifacts for players to collect around the map. There were 5 new ones added this week, and by collecting them, players can use them to unlock new styles for the Kymera skin.
Fortnite is currently available for the PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
