Metallica Quests

Fortnite Metallica Quests are divided into two sections: Encore Session Quests and standard Metallica Quests.

Encore Session Quests

The Encore Session Quests require players to jam near a Jam Statue for 5 seconds in order to start the Encore Session. Jam Statues can be found at The Underworld, Lavish Lair, Pleasant Piazza, Dam Bridge, Mount Olympus, Megalo Depot, and Peabois HQ. Then, they must collect Metallica Music Notes to progress further and complete the poster.

To collect more Metallica Music Notes in Fortnite, players must search chest containers or eliminate enemies. As gamers get more Notes, they'll gradually reveal the Metallica Rises loading screen.

Metallica Quests

Fortnite will progressively release Metallica Quests for players to complete in the Battle Royale game mode. Gamers have until July 2 at 9 AM ET to finish as many quests as possible before they're no longer available. Here are the first set of Metallica Quests in Fortnite:

Quests

How to complete

  • Spray Metallica concert images at different locations (3)

Gamers can spray Metallica concert images at Restored Reels, Sandy Steppes, and Reckless Railways.

Once players get to the spray location, which will appear on the screen when they enter the named locations, the Lightning Star spray will appear on screen right away.

  • Visit the floating Metallica Loot Island stage

The floating Metallica island has come to replace the regular Loot Island, which will spawn on the map once the fourth Storm Circle forms. Gamers can head up there by taking the ascenders or the rifts underneath the island.

  • Stage 1: Collect the Ride the Lightning Item (1)
  • Stage 2-4: Hit an Opponent or a vehicle with the Ride the Lightning item (1,5,15)

Gamers can find the Ride the Lightning Guitar by visiting guaranteed spawn locations, claiming the Metallica Loot Island, or searching chest containers. Once they've obtained it, they must hit an opponent or a vehicle a total of 21 times to complete the quest's final stages.

Visit the Metallica Quests page every day at 9 AM ET to check for more quests.

Metallica Quest Rewards
