How to Melee Damage to Structures in Fortnite

In the first week of Chapter 2, Season 5 of Fortnite, players have seen a number of exciting quests. In this season players have the task of hunting down other players when they receive bounties. By offering inter-reality skins like the Mandalorian and Kratos, Epic Games has hooked the fanbase. Most of the exclusive skins need to be bought using V-Bucks or come with battle passes. Even after buying the skin players need to keep playing to unlock battle armors. Completed quests not only give players XP but they also bestow rewards.

Running around the battleground will not allow the players to complete quests. Players need to know what quests are there and then try to complete them while avoiding being killed by other players in the battleground.

This season the quest tiers have remained the same. Every week there are new Legendary and Epic quests for the players to complete. The new rare, common, and uncommon quests keep appearing once players finish them.

While players have to wait for new Legendary and Epic quests they can rake up more XPs by completing the other quests. In Week 1 there have been a number of Rare 15,000XP quests that players have encountered. One of these rare quests is to do “Melee damage to structure”.
