Fortnite Demon Hunter Quests: Leaks, Rewards, Complete Guide

Last Updated: November 2, 2025

Fortnite Demon Hunter event featuring NEON PULSE and Shadow Fiends.

Fortnite's next major collaboration might just be its most ambitious yet, blending the vibrant energy of K-Pop with a dark, supernatural theme. Leaks and datamined files point towards an upcoming "Demon Hunter" event, centered around the fictional K-Pop group NEON PULSE. This event is rumored to introduce a multi-stage questline that will challenge players to cleanse the Island of a shadowy invasion, offering exclusive cosmetic rewards and a massive XP boost for their efforts.

Based on the latest information, this guide breaks down everything we know about the rumored Demon Hunter quests, including every leaked challenge, key strategies, and the unique rewards waiting at the end.

What are the Fortnite Demon Hunter Quests?

The Demon Hunter quests are expected to be a limited-time set of challenges that tell the story of Fortnite's collaboration with NEON PULSE. According to the event's leaked lore, a dimensional rift has unleashed demonic creatures known as Shadow Fiends onto the Island. The members of NEON PULSE are not just idols but also skilled hunters, and they will call on players to help them push back the darkness.

Completing these quests will reportedly be the only way to earn a unique set of cosmetic items tied to the event, including a reactive Back Bling and a new Lobby Track featuring a NEON PULSE anthem.

How to Complete All Leaked Demon Hunter Quests

The datamined questline is broken down into five distinct stages, each with its own objective. You will likely need to complete them in order to unlock the final rewards. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each rumored challenge and the best way to tackle it.

Stage 1: Collect Demonic Runes from Corrupted Zones

Your first task will be to gather three Demonic Runes. These artifacts are said to spawn in new "Corrupted Zones" that will appear on the map. These areas will be easily identifiable by a swirling purple haze and will be infested with hostile Shadow Fiends.

Inside these zones, look for glowing purple stones on the ground. Rumored hotspots for these zones include the areas around Reckless Railways, Fencing Fields, and the southern part of Snooty Steppes. Simply approach a rune and interact with it to collect it. Be prepared for an ambush, as collecting a rune is expected to trigger a wave of fiends.

Stage 2: Deal Damage with the Soulfire Crossbow

This stage introduces the event's signature Mythic weapon: the Soulfire Crossbow. This powerful weapon fires bolts that explode with spectral flame on impact, dealing significant area-of-effect damage. To complete the quest, you’ll need to deal 500 damage to opponents with it.

The Soulfire Crossbow will reportedly be found in special "Idol Caches" that spawn in random locations, or it can be purchased directly from NEON PULSE band members acting as NPCs on the Island. The splash damage makes it perfect for flushing opponents out from behind cover or damaging clustered enemies.

Stage 3: Banish Shadow Fiends

With the powerful crossbow in hand, it's time to go on the offensive. This quest requires you to banish a total of 25 Shadow Fiends. These AI-controlled monsters are found exclusively in the Corrupted Zones mentioned in Stage 1. While aggressive, they have relatively low health, making weapons like Shotguns and SMGs effective up close. The Soulfire Crossbow's explosive rounds are also incredibly efficient for clearing out groups of them. Landing directly in a Corrupted Zone at the start of a match will be the fastest way to complete this objective.

Stage 4: Perform an Emote at the NEON PULSE Concert Stage

After battling the darkness, you get a chance to celebrate. A massive concert stage, the centerpiece of the collaboration, is expected to be erected near the central lake on the map. For this straightforward quest, you simply need to land or walk onto the main stage and perform any emote. Be warned: this location will undoubtedly be a major hot-drop during the event, so either come prepared for a fight or try to visit later in the match when things have quieted down.

Stage 5: Survive Storm Circles while carrying a Purified Relic

The final and most demanding quest asks you to survive three storm circles while holding a Purified Relic. To get this item, you must first defeat a "Demon Overlord"—a powerful boss-level Shadow Fiend that is rumored to spawn in the largest Corrupted Zone once the third storm circle begins.

Upon its defeat, the Overlord will drop the Purified Relic. Picking it up will take an inventory slot and periodically ping your location to nearby enemies on their map, making you a marked target. The key here is survival. Stock up on mobility items like Shockwave Grenades or Grapple Blades and stay constantly on the move to outlast both the storm and your fellow players.

Leaked Demon Hunter Quest Rewards

Completing all five stages of the Demon Hunter questline is expected to unlock a fantastic collection of exclusive rewards. Here’s the leaked loot table:

  • Stage 1 Reward: "Runic Glow" Weapon Wrap
  • Stage 3 Reward: "NEON PULSE Anthem" Lobby Track
  • Stage 5 Reward: "Idol's Sigil" Reactive Back Bling (This back bling reportedly glows brighter as you get more eliminations in a match)
  • Overall XP: Each stage is also slated to grant 20,000 XP, for a total of 100,000 XP upon completion.

While this event is still based on leaks and has not been officially confirmed by Epic Games, the detailed nature of the datamined files suggests that players have a thrilling, K-Pop-fueled supernatural adventure to look forward to very soon.
