How to shoot targets on a Grind Rail in Fortnite

The Grind Rails are located in Mega City, a new location in the southeast corner of the map:

For this specific Syndicate Challenge, you need to shoot targets with an SMG or Assault Rifle. As you have to go to Mega City anyway to use the Grind Rails, we recommend that you search for loot there to find the right gun.

SMGs and Assault Rifles are fairly common spawns, so it shouldn’t take you long to get one from a treasure chest or as floor loot. You can also try killing opponents to see if they have the weapon you need, but it’s more risky.

Once you have an SMG or Assault Rifle, you should find the Grind Rails either northwest of Mega City or in the middle of it.

Targets should appear as white markers on your minimap, like the image below:

All you have to do to use a Grind Rail is jump on it and you’ll start moving. You can move forward or backward normally to speed up, slow down or change direction.

Use the Grind Rails to line up the targets in front of you, then slow down to aim better.

As long as you shoot three of these targets on a Grind Rail with an SMG or Assault Rifle, the Syndicate Challenge will complete and you can move on to the next one to win an Arcade Game.


Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived and with it comes a new selection of Battle Pass skins! Also take a look at the next Eren Jaeger skin! Meanwhile, find out what the best weapons are, how to get XP fast, use the best PC settings, earn the Victory Umbrella, and win a Victory Crown.


How to Restore Health or Gain Shields on a Grind Rail in Fortnite

As we mentioned above, the Grind Rails are located in Mega City, a new location in the southeast corner of the map:

However, unlike the Syndicate task, you can use any Grind Rail to restore health or gain shieldsbecause you don’t have to search for a specific target.

Just hop on a Grind Rail in Mega City, then equip a health or shield item that you can use while grinding like a Med-Mist or Chug Splash. We recommend scavenging loot in Mega City for these, as you have to come here to use the rails anyway.

It’s also easier to restore shields if you’re just starting a match, since you’ll have full health to start with.
