Fortnite: How to Travel Distance While Listening to the Radio in a Vehicle

One of the Chapter 7 Season 3 weekly quests asks you to cover ground in a vehicle with the radio switched on. It rewards a solid chunk of Battle Pass progress, and it is one of the easier tasks to knock out while you roam the map for other objectives.

Quick answer: Get into any car, press R (PC) or Y/Triangle (controller) to turn on the radio, then drive a total of 500 meters. Progress carries across matches, and the quest rewards 12,000 XP.

Quest requirements and reward

The task is deliberately simple. You need a vehicle, an active radio, and enough distance behind the wheel. The distance does not have to happen in a single match, so you can chip away at it over several games.

Detail	Value
Distance needed	500 meters
Requirement	Radio on while driving a vehicle
Progress	Carries over between matches
Reward	12,000 Battle Pass XP
Expires	August 19, 2026

Note: the radio only counts. Using the Jam Track Player is a separate feature and will not push this quest forward.

Where to find a vehicle

Cars spawn in and around nearly every named location and landmark across the Chapter 7 Season 3 map. Spawns are not guaranteed at any single spot, so if the first parking area is empty, move to the next one nearby. Landing close to the edge of the map keeps you away from other players while you rack up distance.

Radio controls in a car

The radio works in cars, and the buttons stay the same no matter which one you drive. Once it is on, a small pop-up appears above the speedometer showing the current station.

Action	PC	Controller
Enter vehicle	E	X / Square
Turn radio on/off	R	Y / Triangle
Change station	C	A / X

Complete the quest step by step

Land near a vehicle, ideally toward the outskirts of the map where you are less likely to run into enemies while driving.

Get in by pressing E on PC or X/Square on a controller.

Turn on the radio with R on PC or Y/Triangle on a controller. Confirm the station pop-up shows above the speedometer so you know it is active.

Drive and keep moving, steering clear of fights, until your total distance reaches 500 meters. You can spread this across multiple matches if needed.

You will know it worked when the weekly quest updates and marks itself complete, dropping 12,000 XP into your Battle Pass. If progress is not counting, the most common cause is a radio that never turned on, so double-check the station pop-up before you start driving.

Finish this one before the season wraps, since the quest disappears on August 19, 2026. Pairing it with your search for Holofoil Sprites is an easy way to clear the distance without going out of your way.
