How to destroy Jack O' Lanterns with a Ranged Weapon in Fortnite

Our first reaction when completing challenges to "destroy" things is to smack them with our pickaxes/harvesting tools, but for this challenge, it instructs explicitly to destroy them with a Ranged Weapon. Don't let the word choice in the title confuse you because this challenge is super straightforward. All you have to do is shoot the pumpkins with any gun until they break. You don't have to be any distance away from it, which means you can even stand on top of it if you like.

Head to the festive locations above to track down some Jack O' Lanterns and get smashing. Just be sure to use a gun, and you'll be another step closer to claiming your Fortnitemares rewards. There are plenty more Fortnitemares challenges to complete, so keep a lookout for more helpful guides.
