How to eliminate an opponent while mounted in Fortnite?
To kick off your journey towards completing this daunting task, the first order of business is to locate a Boar or a Wolf to ride, as these are currently the only two mounts available in Fortnite. However, finding these creatures has become increasingly challenging in recent times, as the spawn rate for both Boars and Wolves has significantly decreased compared to previous seasons.

Fînd a mount to ride
Tracking down a Boar or Wolf in Fortnite can be a challenging task, but after some effort, we managed to locate a Boar situated by the River that runs between the Citadel and Anvil Square.
To aid in your search for a mount, we highly recommend enabling the ‘Visualize Sound Effects’ option in your settings. This feature generates a small indicator on your screen, directing you towards the direction of any nearby Boars or Wolves, making it much easier to find these elusive creatures.
Fornite: Wolf and boar locations
If you’re on the hunt for a Wolf in Fortnite, we recommend exploring the areas marked on the map below. Additionally, if you wish to tame a Wolf and gain a new ally, you can learn how to do so through various resources.
However, if you’re searching for a Boar, the following regions offer the best chance of encountering one. Once you have located a Boar or Wolf, all that’s left is to mount the animal and ride it around.
With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to completing the “eliminate an opponent while mounted” challenge in Fortnite’s Geralt of Rivia quests.
Beat the enemy
Once you have found a mount, it’s time to locate your enemy and take them down while you’re still on the back of your ride. Remember, it’s crucial that you eliminate your target while you are mounted, as jumping off your mount and attacking your enemy won’t count towards completing the challenge.
When you spot your opponent, take aim and fire away while still on your mount. Keep in mind that you’re quite conspicuous while riding a wild animal, so it’s advisable to use a rapid-fire weapon to maximize your chances of success. During our attempts, we found that shotguns were too slow, so we opted for an Assault Rifle instead.
It’s important to eliminate three opponents while still mounted to complete this particular Geralt of Rivia challenge, so make sure to stay focused and aim true!
