Damage opponents while airborne

To complete this quest, you need to damage opponents while in the air. The damage doesn’t need to be done to players, so you can finish it by applying all your attacks to AI if you’d prefer. The easiest way to complete this is by grabbing War Machine’s jetpack, then taking off and shooting enemies while in the air.

But you can also complete it simply by jumping, or falling off structures. Just make sure you inflict some damage before you touch the ground. Once you’ve accumulated 500 damage, you’ll finish the quest.

This quest may sound simple, but it’s actually a toughie. To do this, you’ll need to kill the Doombot in Castle Doom because it’s the only way to get Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol. As soon as you land at the castle, try to grab a decent loadout as fast as you can, and kill the Doombot before others do.

Once he drops the pistol, find the nearest AI and kill them if that’s easier. This quest doesn’t require you to kill a player, but that works too. And, you know, is the point of the game.

Reach 10 players remaining

All you need to do for this quest is be among the top 10 players in a lobby. You can complete this by naturally playing the game.

Travel distance while airborne in a vehicle

To complete this quest, all you need to do is catch some air while in a car. We recommend going to a gas station and getting in the first car you see. After that, find the closest cliff and hit the boost. If you’re lucky, you’ll complete it on your first go.

This is another quest you can complete by naturally playing the game. All you need to do is go to any named location and open 25 chests. Thankfully, all of those areas have plenty of chests for you to open, so you should be able to complete the quest in no time.

Once you’ve done all that, you’ll officially complete all of Week One’s quests. Congratulations! You’re one step closer to finishing the battle pass.
