What you need to know about the daily, weekly and character Punchcards.
Fortnite's Punchcards are a timed-limited series of challenges.
During Chapter 2 Season 8, these work differently than Season 7's Legendary Quests.
Completing these steps offers a good amount of XP - making them well worth the effort to complete before the next set arrives.
This page explains this week's Character Punchcards, when the next questlines go live, and how daily and weekly Punchcards work.
Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived! New additions include Reality Seeds and Saplings and riding animals, along with the new Battle Pass, characters collection and map changes. It's a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.

- Fortnite Punchcards reset time: When do the next daily, weekly and character Punchcards go live?
Update Tuesday, 12th October: In a continuation of the previous XP changes, Epic has now increased the amount of XP received from completing daily quests to 45k XP. This means you'll receive a total of 135k XP for completing all three.
Previously, in September, XP was added a reward for all Shared Quests, the amount of XP for new character punchcards was increased to 150k XP, replaying quests rewards now earn you a small amount of XP and decreasing the amount of XP from weekly punchcards, so you can comfortably miss one.
Fortnite daily, weekly and character Punchcards explained
Punchcards serve as a way to display groups of challenges and quests across three different categories: daily, weekly and character Punchcards.
The first two are rather straightforward, and usually require for you to either complete a certain number of quests, spend gold bars, or place top 10 with friends, to name a few examples.
Character Punchcards, on the other hand, present five-step questlines. These are tied to the new character collection in Season 8, and present an array of quests to complete, ranging from fairly simple tasks to some a bit more involved.
In order to kickstart a Character Punchcard questline, you need to talk to the NPC in question and accept the quest from the dialogue wheel.
It's worth noting that while daily and weekly Punchcards are time-limited, that doesn't seem to be the case for Character Punchcards.
You're free to tackle them as you go, but do bear in mind that you can't have more than five active questlines at the same time.
If you try to pick up an additional quest, you'll be given the option to replace any of the ones you've taken already.
This should cover all the basics, and we'll be keeping this page up to date as weeks pass and Punchcards continue to evolve. In the meantime, you can find what's waiting for you this week below.
