If you're wondering why you need to chop down pine trees this week, perhaps Epic Games is making a coy little reference to the fact that Christmas is over (as is Fortnite's 2021 Winterfest) and Christmas trees are being thrown away all over the shop.
Keep on reading and we'll tell you how to complete this weekly challenge, find those Timber Pines and knock them down!
Fortnite Timber Pines locations
There's no shortage of Timber Pines locations on the Fortnite map. These tall trees are scattered all over the place. But one easy place to find them is in Logjam Lumberyard, up in the top-left corner of the map (also known as the north-west corner of the island).
You should be able to spot Timber Pines fairly easily, because they are taller than the other trees on the island and they have pointy Christmas-tree-like foliage at the top of a lengthy trunk. Take a look at the brief, handy video below if you're struggling to find Timber Pines.

When you've found a Timber Pine, simply whack it with your melee weapon of choice until the trunk falls to the ground as a massive log.
To complete this Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 Week 5 challenge, you'll need to knock down five Timber Pines using this method. Easy peasy.
