The Foundation quest guide

Kicking off the list is a relatively easy one. Simply open three chests and/or ammo boxes at Covert Cavern, which is on the northwest side of the island. It’s in between Camp Cuddle and Logjam Lumberyard. Keep in mind, you can mix and match between ammo boxes and chests, and you don’t need to search all three in a single match to complete the challenge.

After that, you’ll need to deal 100 damage to an opponent with a melee weapon. The easiest way to do this is to attack an NPC since they’re typically not aggressive until you strike them first. Alternatively, you can do this on a real player, but we recommend downing them first so they can’t fight back. Make sure you play in team-based modes (as opposed to Solos) if you want to use this method.

Much like the previous quest, this one is best done on an opponent who’s downed. Play in any team-based mode, down an enemy player with the weapon of your choice, then crouch, and finish them off with a sniper. You can certainly complete this quest on a moving target, but it’ll be much more difficult to do so.

As you play, you’ll come across Shield Potions (assuming you’re looting regularly). You’ll probably complete this challenge naturally, especially if you’re an aggressive player. To complete this one faster, loot as much as possible, and then take damage so you can continuously heal. Make sure you use the small Shield Potions before the large ones so you don’t waste any.

Assist in Eliminating Gunnar (1)

This one is tricky, simply because Gunnar is hard to take down. Thankfully, you don’t need to be the person who delivers the final blow. Gunnar is found right in the middle of Covert Cavern, typically walking around surveying the area. We advise using a sniper or explosives from afar to deal damage safely. Then, use whatever you have to finish him off. It’s much easier to complete this if you have three additional teammates assisting you, but if you’re playing solo, it’s still possible if you play it smart and come prepared. Make sure you land close to Gunnar so you don’t risk another player eliminating him before you can deal damage yourself.

Deal Headshot Damage to Players with Common or Uncommon Weapons (500)

Common weapons are either Gray or Green, which are easy to come by around the map. This challenge will likely take you a little while since you have to deal 500 damage, but if you play in Team Rumble, you’ll have ample opportunities to finish it. There are a few strategies you can use to be efficient with this one, such as dealing headshot damage to downed opponents, or by waiting for enemy players to interact with a Supply Drop. We like using assault rifles since they can deal damage from afar and are far more forgiving than a sniper, but go with whatever you’re comfortable with.

Deal Damage to Opponents from Above with Shotguns or SMGs (1,000)

Once again, Team Rumble is going to be your best bet with this challenge. As long as you’re above the player you’re shooting at, you’ll earn credit for this one. Simply land on a structure above players and dish out attacks with an SMG or shotgun. You have to deal 1,000 damage, which will take a while, but thankfully, it doesn’t need to be done in the same game.

Land at a Seven Outpost, then Finish Top 10 (2)
