How to travel distance vertically in Fortnite

In Fortnite, you can complete different weekly quests, and there are a few tricky challenges in the Week 5 Quests for Chapter 4 Season 3. One of them requires you to travel distance vertically. Although it sounds daunting at first, it is a pretty easy quest to complete—you just need to know the best location to complete this challenge quickly. Here's how to travel distance vertically in Fortnite.

How to complete Travel Distance Vertically in Fortnite

To travel distance vertically in Fortnite, players need to use Ascenders and Air Vents. You can head to the Mega City POI, as this area has several Ascenders. Mega City was introduced last season, and given the addition of the new jungle biome, players will not find this POI as competitive as the newer areas of the map. After you have landed in Mega City, head to the tallest buildings, which have Ascenders and air vents. Use the Ascenders to get to the top of the building, and jump off on the Air vents to get down.

During my run, I was lucky not to find enemies lurking around, which made it easy for me to complete the challenge. I spotted a building that had both Ascenders and Air Vents, and since the latter eliminated fall damage, I got down pretty easily. Alternatively, you can also use Grind Rails, as it eliminates fall damage.

Once you are on the ground, use the Ascender again to get back up. You will need to repeat this process a few times before you cover the 500 meters which are required to complete this quest.

While you are busy completing this challenge, you can become an easy target to others who are there to complete the same task. So once you land in this POI, look for chests and floor loot. Keep yourself equipped and keep an eye out while you are doing this challenge.
