We're now into Valentine's week and romance is all around, which means it's a particularly apt time to take on the new set of Fortnite Love and War challenges. These tie in to the recently added Search and Destroy LTM, which is a community created mode where Attackers and Defenders face off in 6v6 matches to either plant or defuse a bomb while trying to eliminate the other Fortnite team.

Read on and show you what all of the Fortnite Love and War challenges are, now they've been revealed in full.
