The Splinter Assignment Quests are a series of Ninja Turtle themed challenges that unlock every few days during the event. Completing these quests earns players Ooze, which is the currency used to unlock rewards from the Cowabunga event pass.

On February 15th, a new set of 8 Splinter Assignment Quests became available, including an odd one requiring players to "time travel into the future slowly." This vague quest understandably left many players confused about how to actually complete it in-game.

To complete the time travel quest, players simply need to spend 300 seconds (5 minutes) playing a match of Fortnite Battle Royale. However, the 300-second timer won't start until after leaving the pre-game island and entering the Battle Bus.

The 300-second requirement lines up perfectly with the quest's description of "slowly" time-traveling into the future.

  • As time passes in real life, you are slowly moving farther into the future.
  • Requiring 300 seconds ensures players experience this gradual time travel.

Tips for Completing the Quest Quickly:

  • Stay on the Battle Bus until forced off at the end to maximize air time.
  • Open glider immediately and stay in the air as long as possible.
  • Avoid fights and stay moving to avoid being eliminated.
