Fix Fortnite “Collect Rare or Better Weapons at a Hotspot” Not Working Error

Following the update, every player is chasing after the “Collect Rare or Better Weapons at a Hotspot” quest which has made it increasingly difficult to keep up with the server issues. Impending network issues have got to everyone’s throats and what makes it worse is that there is no single solution that can fix the issue for everyone.

This issue has been persistent on Fortnite across all the platforms which is why it has been difficult to single out a universal fix. While most of the time said issues were server-side at times certain fixes can be made on the player’s end to resolve it and their hands on the weapons as quickly as possible.

How to Fix Fortnite “Collect Rare or Better Weapons at a Hotspot” Not Working Error?

We have put together a list of possible fixes that might see this error get fixed for you on your device or platform. Check it out:

  • Hotspots: Ensure you’re landing in the designated Hotspot areas on the map. These areas are marked with a yellow beam of light in the sky and are usually high-traffic zones with better loot drops. Check the current Fortnite map or guides online to pinpoint these locations.
  • Correct Rarity: Make sure you’re picking up weapons of the appropriate rarity. For this challenge, you need to collect rare weapons (blue) or better, which include Epic (purple) and Legendary (gold) weapons.
  • Full Match Completion: Sometimes challenges might not register immediately. Ensure you complete the match fully, either by getting eliminated or winning, for the challenge progress to update properly.
  • Restart Game or Device: Occasionally, Fortnite bugs can be resolved by restarting the game or the device you’re playing on. Close the game completely and relaunch it to see if the challenge progresses as you collect the required weapons.
  • Check for Updates: Ensure that your game is updated to the latest version. Sometimes challenges might not work correctly due to outdated versions or bugs that have been fixed in newer updates.
  • Patience: In some cases, challenges might cause a delay in registering progress. Try giving it some time and continue playing matches, picking up the required weapons. Sometimes, progress is reflected after some delay.
  • Contact Support: If the issue persists and none of the above steps work, you might want to contact Fortnite’s support team. They might have specific troubleshooting steps or be aware of ongoing issues with certain challenges.
