To open the Light Chakra, gamers will have to hit four opponents with a melee weapon, which may sound confusing at first. Thankfully, this guide will tell players everything they need to know in order to get through this challenge and get Appa at last.

What’s a Melee Weapon in Fortnite?

While most weapons in Fortnite are guns or fire weapons, there have been several melee weapons in the game over the years. From the Infinity Blade to ODM Gear and several Star Wars Lightsabers, dozens of melee weapons have been available in Fortnite so far. However, while most of them are exclusive to time-limited events, there is one that will certainly never be vaulted, and that’s the pickaxe.

The player’s trusty harvesting tool is the main melee weapon in Fortnite. Even though many players don’t resort to using it unless they’re face-to-face with an opponent and find themselves out of ammo or without a weapon.

How to Easily Hit Opponents with a Melee Weapon

To complete the Light Chakra Quest, gamers will have to hit four opponents with a melee weapon. Even though the Star Wars event is just around the corner, and it’ll surely bring back tons of Lightsabers as melee weapons, at the moment the only way to complete this quest is by using a pickaxe.

Since the quest description doesn’t specify that the opponent has to be an enemy player, fans can complete the quest by hitting hostile characters, such as Olympian Bosses, their minions, and Vault or Forecast Tower guardians. Players can easily complete the quest in its entirety by going to one of the Boss’s altars, summoning it, and hitting four of the minions with the harvesting tool.

Alternately, players can also complete the quest by hitting four knocked players. However, this will certainly take longer, as players will have to find four enemies and knock them down first.
