Fortnite: How to Drop Kick the Soccer Ball 500 Meters as Neymar Jr

One of the Neymar Jr. challenges in Fortnite Season 6 tasks players with drop-kicking a soccer ball 500 Fortnite meters while dressed as the famous Brazilian soccer player. Once players manage to unlock the highly anticipated Neymar Jr. skin in Fortnite, they will have the opportunity to unlock almost a dozen more cosmetics and style variants by completing other Neymar Jr. challenges. For some of these challenges, they will need to have the Neymar Jr. skin equipped. When they go to drop-kick the ball, they will need to be wearing the Neymar Jr. outfit, especially because it requires a special emote.

Players will need to have unlocked the Soccer Ball Toy Emote and the Neymar Jr. skin before they can complete this challenge. While they can find a soccer ball on the Fortnite map, they won’t be able to drop-kick this one. Players will need to climb to a higher altitude and use the emote to make a drop-kick that travels far enough. Completing this challenge unlocks the Back Bling that goes with the Neymar Jr. skin. Here’s how to drop-kick a soccer ball as Neymar Jr. and unlock the Joia Trophy Back Bling in Fortnite Season 6.

How to Unlock the Joia Trophy Back Bling in Fortnite

To drop-kick a soccer ball as Neymar Jr. and unlock the Joia Trophy Back Bling in Fortnite Season 6, players will need to first make sure they have equipped both the Neymar Jr. skin and the Soccer Ball Toy Emote. Then, they will need to either land onto one of the mountains around the Fortnite island or land somewhere with plenty of materials and very few opponents.

Getting the ball to travel the required 500 meters will require players to reach a high altitude. Some players may opt to use spires, Mount Kay, or the weather station. Others may choose to build a giant staircase, adding height as needed. Still others may do a combination of these, landing on a high point and then building to make it even taller.

To ensure they have the right altitude, players can ping to find a location about 500 meters away, then build up to make sure the ball can travel that far. When they hit the sweet spot, they will need to use the Soccer Ball Toy Emote to kick the ball. If they got the altitude right, they should be able to cover the full 500 meters easily. If not, they can seek out a taller place or add to their stairs.

This challenge may be easier to complete in Team Rumble for a few reasons. For one, once the challenges go live, many players are likely to be working toward the same goals. For another, should opportunistic players want to try and use a player completing the challenge for an easy elimination, the player will respawn in Team Rumble and can keep trying to finish the challenge. Finally, players start with more materials in Team Rumble, allowing them to easily build their structure right away without needing to stop and gather materials first.

Once players kick the ball 500 meters, the challenge will complete, and they will earn the Joia Trophy Back Bling. This is the second of two Fortnite Season 6 Neymar Jr. challenges players can complete with the Soccer Ball Emote. The other tasks them with scoring a goal using the emote and unlocks the Jaguar Strike Pickaxe. There are many other Neymar Jr. cosmetics for players to unlock by completing challenges, including the weekly Fortnite Season 6 Epic Quests.

Fortnite is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android devices.
