The Fortnite Urgent Covert Ops quests have gone live in Zero Build mode, and there’s a free Secret Sledge pickaxe to earn for completing them all.
In addition to the weekly Resistance Quests and Lantern Trials, Epic Games has now introduced another set of challenges for players to participate in during Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2: The Covert Ops Quests.
There are four Covert Ops Quests in total, each lasting two or four days. These are big goals to work toward, not quick tasks like the weekly challenges. So be prepared to put in some work.
You can also unlock a free Secret Sledge pickaxe along the way, so we’ve put together a handy guide to help you complete all of these quests in no time.
