Usually, all Fortnite Story Quests are listed below the questline, and they even include markers that allow players to easily find the location that they must in order to complete the quest. However, sometimes there are also hidden quests that players will only be able to do if they stumble upon them and, most often, accidentally complete them.

Fortnite Hidden Story Quest: Destroy Target Dummies (3)

The Welcome to the Infestation Quests have a hidden quest that players most likely won't be able to find naturally. Thankfully, leakers found the quest in the files, shared it with the community, and the solution was quickly uncovered. As part of the Welcome to the Infestation Story Quests in Fortnite, players will have to find and destroy three target dummies.

Target Dummy Locations in Fortnite

The target dummies that players need to destroy in order to start the Welcome to the Infestation hidden quest are located at O.X.R. HQ. There are six target dummies at the O.X.R. HQ, near the northwestern corner of the location.

The target dummies look exactly like the swarmers that players will encounter while clearing infested outposts and hives. The first set of three dummies is located behind the northwestern gates of the POI, and the other set of three is right above them on the plateau.

Each dummy only has 80 HP, so players can easily destroy them with any weapon or even with their pickaxe. The video below shows players the location of the target dummies and how to destroy them:
