How to Harvest Meat and Peppers (Week 7 Challenge)

Collecting meat and peppers can actually prove to be a challenge in Fortnite. This guide reveals where to hunt and collect these unique items.
Week 7 of season 6 of Fortnite Battle Royale is here and with it a whole series of new challenges. One of the most difficult to complete is collecting meat or peppers. Not because the goal is particularly confusing, but because you do not always know where to find the desired elements.
The Battle Royale map is huge and it can be difficult to locate the nearest animal or pepper. However, with this quick guide, it will be a snap to get to exactly where the action is and complete this otherwise simple task.

How to harvest meat and peppers in Fortnite
From a meat collecting standpoint, there are several different animals on the island that drop the desired item when defeated. Chickens, wild boars, wolves and now even raptors roam the land, and all will drop meat. However, why attack fighting animals when perfectly harmless chickens are practically everywhere.
To pick up the meat, there are three ideal places to head to. The first area is around Pleasant Park, there are several groups of chickens roaming the hills east of this small suburb. The next location to consider is Colossal Cultures. This giant farm, unsurprisingly, has plenty of poultry to hunt down. The third option is near Holly Hedges. A little north of this upscale neighborhood, players will find a few groups of these feathered enemies.
Peppers are a little harder to find Fortnite, but not impossible. Generally speaking, the best place to hunt for these red vegetables is any place that has a kitchen or is otherwise associated with food. For example, Durr Burger, south of Holly Hedges, and Pizza Pit, north of Colossal Crops, are both known to harbor a few peppers. Additionally, the Orchard, which is also north of Colossal Crops, sees them appear from time to time. Even one or two gas stations will sometimes have a pepper, and gas stations can be found near almost every urban center on the island. If one doesn’t appear in a particular location, it’s pretty easy to mark the next named landmark and head in that direction.
This particular quest requires players to collect five pieces of meat or peppers, but with the instructions here, it should be a snap to collect the necessary items and earn 24,000 XP. Once completed, it will be time to take on one of the other quests that Epic regularly adds to the game.
Fortnite is available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Android and iOS.
