Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 brings a powerful new progression system with Expertise Quests — special NPC-based challenges that grant XP, discounts, and access to Exotic weapons like the Unstable Yoink Shotgun, Voltage Burst Pistol, and Thunderclap DMR.
If you're looking to gear up with high-tier loot (without relying on RNG), Fortnite Expertise Quests are your path to mastery.
🔫 Shotgun Expertise: How to Unlock the Unstable Yoink Shotgun
The first and currently active Expertise Questline comes from Hope, an NPC located at Supernova Academy (west side of the map).
Talk to her and select “Shotgun Expertise” to begin the questline.
🧾 Yoink Shotgun Expertise Quest Objectives:
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| ✅ Deal 1,000 shotgun damage | Unlock both Epic Sentinel Pump and Unstable Yoink Shotgun |
| ✅ Hit 10 players at 10+ meters | 15% discount on shotgun price |
| ✅ Crack 10 player shields | 30% discount |
| ✅ Deal 100+ damage in a single blast (x5) | 45% discount |
| ✅ Get close-range eliminations | 60% discount |
| ✅ Talk to Hope about expertise | +5,000 XP |
| ✅ Purchase shotgun from Hope | +5,000 XP |
| ✅ Celebrate with Hope | +5,000 XP |
This questline rewards aggressive playstyles and precise shotgun use. With each challenge, the purchase price of the Yoink Shotgun drops significantly, allowing dedicated players to earn it nearly for free.
