To put things simply, “Rec: 4 Players” in Fortnite indicates that it is recommended that fans complete the challenge in groups of four. To emphasize, this is merely a recommendation, not a requirement, and players are free to search all 100 chests on their own if that is their preference. However, fans will certainly complete the challenge more quickly if they work together, though this task may still prove to be a bit time consuming even if the recommendation is followed.

To note, Fortnite players do not need to have already-established groups in order to form teams for this Season 3 Week 6 challenge, as the Squads gamemode can take care of that automatically with the proper settings selected. Indeed, players just to need to make sure that they set Squads to “Fill” when they queue up for a match, and they will soon find that they have a full group of four that they can start searching chests with.
With respect to the best locations for searching chests in Fortnite, Lazy Lake is definitely high on the list, as there are a bevy of containers to loot throughout this area. Additionally, there are a number of Season 3 Week 6 XP Coins to be found just to the west of Lazy Lake, giving players that land here further opportunities to make progress on the Battle Pass.
It is also certainly fine for players to take a more relaxed approach and stick with their favorite landing locations in Fortnite Season 3 even if they do not have the highest-density of chests. While this may mean that it takes slightly longer to search all 100 chests and complete the weekly challenge, fans that play enough matches will undoubtedly fulfill the requirement, especially if they have the support of full Squads in their matches, and earn their 80,000 XP.
Fortnite is available now Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.
