Completing weekly challenges is the fastest way to level up your Battle Pass and unlock exclusive cosmetics. For the Chapter 3 Season 1 Week 4 challenge list, one of your tasks requires you to detonate gas cans to destroy nearby objects.

 

 

Here is exactly how to find gas cans and secure your 25,000 XP.

Where to Find Gas Cans

Originally introduced as a way to fuel vehicles, gas cans double as powerful, on-demand explosives. They are incredibly common across the map. You will most reliably find them:

  • Sitting next to gas station pumps.

  • Tucked inside residential garages.

  • Resting on the ground near bus stops.

How to Complete the Challenge

You only need to destroy two objects to complete this challenge. With the right placement, you can easily knock this out in a single explosion.

 

1.Find a fragile target:Look for indoor environments.

Locate easily destroyable objects. Small items like wooden boxes, chairs, or fences work perfectly.

2.Position the gas can:

Drop the gas can directly next to the object. Placing it in the doorway of a fully furnished house is an easy way to guarantee multiple objects break at once.

3.Create distance:Avoid splash damage.

Back away from the can to a safe distance so you do not accidentally damage your own health or shields in the blast.

4.Detonate the can:

Shoot the gas can with any weapon until it explodes. The resulting blast will obliterate the nearby objects and immediately trigger the challenge completion.

 

Once the objects are destroyed, you can cross another task off your list and continue leveling up your Battle Pass.
