The Weekly Highlights quests are your primary source of consistent XP throughout the season. Each week brings six new quests worth 12,000 XP each, with every third completed quest granting an additional 25,000 XP bonus (up to 12 times per season).

Travel 500 meters while boosting in a vehicleUse boost on cars or SUVs (golf carts can’t boost). Ramp off cliffs for extended boost time.Find steep hills near coastal areas for maximum boost efficiency.
Outlast 40 players without taking storm damageStay away from storm edges. The new storm has no audio warning, so watch visual indicators carefully.Play defensively early game. Center of circle is safest strategy.
Eliminate 3 opponents with Iron Pump Shotgun or GrenadesBoth weapons drop from any loot source. Iron Pump Shotgun is particularly effective this season.Check gas stations and named locations for these weapons. Shotgun is more reliable than grenades.
Travel 250 meters while sprinting with assault rifle equippedMust have AR equipped (not just in inventory). Sprint normally while holding AR.Combine with looting routines for natural completion.
Break 10 glass windows with pickaxeTarget buildings in named locations. Glass breaks easily with pickaxe hits.Sandy Strip and Wonkeeland have plenty of glass structures.

Important Note: Week 2 quests are scheduled to drop on December 11, so make sure to complete Week 1 quests before then!

The Bride Story Quests – 10,000 XP Each

The cinematic storyline featuring The Bride from Kill Bill offers some of the most exciting quests this season. These quests not only provide substantial XP but also introduce you to the new Forsaken Vow Blade (Kill Bill katana) mechanics.

QuestCompletion StrategyPro Tips
Visit 6 different named locations while in a vehicleMust be seated in vehicle (driver or passenger). Visit 6 of 13 new named locations.You can briefly hop in parked vehicles at locations to count. Plan efficient routes.
Enter a Forsaken Vow Rift Gate to get a Forsaken Vow BladeFind yellow rift icons on mini-map. Only one rift gate spawns per match.This is highly competitive – be prepared to fight other players for the blade.
Defeat Gogo and Yuki when you leave the rift gate (2)After entering rift, Gogo and Yuki Yubari spawn and attack you. Must defeat both.If another player steals elimination, you must retry. Come prepared with good weapons.
Eliminate 10 opponents with a Forsaken Vow BladeUse blade’s slashing and dash attacks. NPCs count toward this total.Focus on NPC enemies first. The blade is powerful but puts you in close range.
Hit 6 opponents with the Forsaken Vow Blade’s Vengeance DashUse secondary fire while airborne to dash. Land hits on 6 different opponents.Practice dash timing. It’s similar to Kinetic Blade but faster and more deadly.
Reach 25 players remaining in 4 different matchesSurvive until top 25 players remain in 4 separate matches.Play defensively and avoid early fights. This will complete naturally over time.
Purchase a service from The BrideFind The Bride at Sandy Strip apartment complex. She offers rift for 600 gold bars.You can also get Forsaken Vow Blade by defeating her, but that won’t count for this quest.

Critical Information: The Forsaken Vow Blade is extremely rare – only 2 can exist per match maximum. This makes the blade-related quests particularly challenging but rewarding.

Battle Bus Story Quests – 10,000 XP Each

Following the destruction of the Battle Bus in the Zero Hour event, these time-sensitive quests help rebuild the bus and offer unique rewards. Important: These quests expire forever on December 8, 2025!

QuestCompletion StrategyPro Tips

Destroy 35 objects or structures while in a vehicleBe driver or passenger in any vehicle. Destroy objects like fences, tables, small structures.4X4 off-road vehicles work best. Avoid trying to drive through buildings without cow catchers.

Pro Strategies for Maximizing Quest Completion

Time Management Tips

  • Battle Bus quests expire December 8 – prioritize these immediately!
  • Battle Pass quests start December 4 – level up quickly to prepare
  • Weekly quests refresh every Thursday at 9 AM ET
  • Week 2 quests drop December 11 – complete Week 1 before then

Efficient Quest Combining

I’ve discovered several ways to complete multiple quests simultaneously:

  1. Vehicle + Location Combo: While doing “Visit 6 named locations in vehicle” quest, also work on “Travel 500m boosting in vehicle” and “Destroy 35 objects in vehicle”
  2. Wingsuit + Survival: Use wingsuit for travel quests while staying alive for “Outlast 40 players” quest
  3. Blade Master: When going for Forsaken Vow Blade, complete both blade elimination quests in the same match

Location-Specific Strategies

Based on my research, here are the best locations for specific quest types:

For The Bride Quests:

  • Sandy Strip: Find The Bride NPC here
  • Rift Gates: Look for yellow icons, typically spawn near coastal areas
  • Named Locations: All 13 new locations count for vehicle visits

For Battle Bus Quests:

  • Ripped Tides: Find Dummy NPC here
  • Pump N’ Run Stations: Four specific locations for wheel collection
  • Gas Stations & Restaurants: Best places to find dumpsters (though this quest is auto-completed)

For Weekly Quests:

  • Coastal Areas: Best for wingsuit spawns and hot air balloon stations
  • Named Locations: Plenty of glass windows and loot containers
  • High Ground: Ideal for storm avoidance and survival strategies
