Fortnite: How to drive a vehicle into a Chrome Vortex and fly around it for 10 seconds

It's unclear why, but players are being tasked with driving a vehicle into a Chrome Vortex in Fortnite. While this is not is not the strangest of challenges to be issued by the developers, this one does rank high on the "strange list".

That said, players also have to fly around the Chrome Vortex for 10 seconds to complete the task. Those who manage to complete it will be rewarded with 20,000 experience points.

A step-by-step guide on how to drive a vehicle into a Chrome Vortex and fly around it for 10 seconds in Fortnite

1) Land north of Fort Jonesy

The first step of the challenge is to find a vehicle that's in close proximity to a Chrome Vortex. Taking into consideration that a Chrome Vortex always spawns next to Herald's Sanctum, this is the ideal location to land.

Players will want to land just south of The Last Legs (broken Foundation monument) on the beachhead. Parked next to a tent, an Octane vehicle from Rocket League should come into sight. Since they have fixed spawn locations, 100% of the time one will be found here.

Keep in mind that if there are too many opponents on the beachhead, a car can be found at Fort Jonesy. Players can use it for the challenge instead of the Octane.

2) Secure the area, gear-up, and get into a vehicle

Once on the ground, the next step is to secure the area. Players should gear-up as soon as possible to max out their shields. Although the challenge predominantly involves vehicles, finding loot will be essential.

Once the beachhead or Fort Jonesy has been secured and enough loot gathered, the next step is to get into the vehicle, fire up the engine, and start driving.

3) Follow the beachhead and drive towards the Chrome Vortex near Herald's Sanctum

The fastest way to reach the Chrome Vortex would be to follow the beachhead towards Herald's Sanctum. Once the swirling mass of Chrome comes into view, players will have to take a sharp left and possibly go over some hilly terrain. With a bit of careful maneuvering, it shouldn't be a problem reaching the Chrome Vortex.

Drive towards the Chrome Vortex and enter it at full speed. Once the vehicle is lifted off the ground, players will lose almost all control of their vehicle. Nevertheless, there's no need to worry as by this time, it will be consumed by Chrome.

The vehicle will have extra HP, making it harder to destroy. After flying around for 10 seconds, the challenge will be completed.

5) Exit the Chrome Vortex once the challenge has been completed

Once the prompt indicates that the challenge has been completed, the last step is to leave the Chrome Vortex and get back to the ground.

After safely landing, players can go about the remainder of the match and strive to win a victory royale. Try to land far away from the Chrome Vortex to avoid running into opponents on the ground.
