How to set structures on fire in Fortnite

There are multiple ways to set structures on fire in Fortnite, such as firing an arrow using the Flame Bow or exploding a gas can near a wooden structure, but the easiest way to throw bottled fireflies on a wooden building.

The best place to find fireflies is by far the Weeping Wood, with little clusters of these surprisingly dangerous insects dotted about the woods. If you're having trouble finding some fireflies, try exploring the wood at night when the fireflies will have an orange glow.

Once you've collected some fireflies, head to one of the multiple wooden buildings dotted around Weeping Woods.

After finding one, simply toss the fireflies onto the structure and watch as the fire takes hold. Just make sure you toss the fireflies on the wooden part, so it will catch alight, and you make a quick exit or else you may find yourself losing health.

The structure only needs to be one fire for it to count towards the challenge, so we suggest visiting multiple wooden buildings and setting them aflame to ensure you can complete this task quickly. This challenge can also be completed across multiple matches, so just keep tossing fireflies and setting fires until you've lit 10 structures.

Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived - bringing with it a new Battle Pass, character collection, map locations and Victory Umbrella! You can now ride animals, find Reality Seeds, and use the new Grapple Glove, and Victory Crowns have returned. If you're after a specific Battle Pass skin, then it's a good idea to know how to get XP fast.
