Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8: Sledgehammer Quests Guide - Earn 150K XP & Cube Monster Coins

As a seasoned Fortnite player and content creator with years tracking battle pass progress, I've mastered the Punchcard quests like Sledgehammer's in Chapter 2 Season 8. These multi-step challenges from the Sideways series deliver massive XP boosts—up to 150,000 total—while letting you farm Cube Monster Coins efficiently. Head to peripheral map areas for quick completion in one or multiple matches.

Interact with the Ember NPC first for context on these Sideways machine spawns and special weapons. Sledgehammer himself awaits at Flopper Pond, northwest of Holly Hedges—spot his speech bubble icon and chat to unlock the chain.
