The John Wick Contracts are the fastest path to unlocking the Simpsons skin style for John Wick in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. There are four contract sets in total, each split into three progressive stages. Some can be knocked out in any mode, while others are locked to specific playlists. None of them are particularly brutal on their own, but a few require some patience and smart play to finish efficiently.
What are the John Wick Contracts in Fortnite?
The four John Wick Contracts are named Combat, Boss, Confidential, and Sprite. Each contract unlocks its stages sequentially, meaning you complete stage one before stage two becomes available. You can tackle the four contracts in any order you prefer, and all of them remain active until the end of Chapter 7 Season 3. Finishing all four rewards you with the Simpsons John Wick outfit style from the Battle Pass.
How to complete the Combat Contract quests
The Combat Contract is the most flexible of the four since it can be completed in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Reload. If you want to grind these efficiently, Reload is the better choice because respawns keep you in the action longer.
| Quest | Requirement | Best Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Hit opponents with the Lancehead clip after reloading | 2 hits | Reload (target Bosses, not players) |
| Damage opponents with shotguns in a single match | 550 damage | Reload (hot-drop POI) |
| Headshot opponents with assault rifles | 25 headshots | Any (spreads across multiple matches) |
The Lancehead Pistol ejects its clip when you reload, dealing 30 damage on contact. Players tend to dodge this projectile reliably, so targeting Boss NPCs is far more consistent. For the shotgun damage quest, land at a high-traffic POI and commit to close-range fights. Assault Rifles have received a recent buff that makes them strong at mid-to-long range, so the headshot quest is more manageable than it sounds. Spread it across several matches rather than forcing it in one sitting.
How to complete the Boss Contract quests
The Boss Contract is locked to Battle Royale and Zero Build only. Reload players will need to switch modes for this one. The three stages build on each other and revolve around John Wick the NPC.
| Quest | Requirement | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Hire John Wick | 1 hire | Costs 350 Gold Bars, located west of the Lighthouse at Calamari Canyon |
| Damage opponents with John Wick or a hired Specialist | 575 damage | Any NPC Specialist counts if John Wick is unavailable |
| Defeat Bosses | 3 defeats | Three DC Bosses are active on the island this season |
Landing directly at John Wick's spawn point west of the Lighthouse gives you the best shot at hiring him before another squad does. If someone else grabs him first, any NPC Specialist can substitute for the damage stage. For the Boss defeat stage, the three DC Bosses on the island this season are valid targets.
While you're hunting Bosses in Battle Royale, it's worth picking up any Sprites you encounter. Check out the John Wick Sprite guide for details on its enemy-revealing effect and how to get it from chests.
How to complete the Confidential Contract quests
The Confidential Contract is the most dramatic of the four, and it is Reload-only. All three stages take place around The Confidential POI in Springfield Reloaded, marked with a "C" on the mini map in the top-right segment of Springfield Town Square.
| Quest | Requirement | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Visit The Confidential in Springfield | 1 visit | Top-right segment of Springfield Town Square |
| Eliminate a player inside The Confidential | 1 elimination | Draw your weapon first before opponents do |
| Survive 14 seconds after becoming Excommunicado | 14 seconds | Use unlimited stamina and Shockwave Grenades to keep moving |
The Confidential location warns players not to draw weapons inside, which makes the elimination stage feel appropriately chaotic. The trick is to pull your weapon before your target does. Once you get the elimination, you become Excommunicado and the entire lobby gets your location. Fourteen seconds sounds short, but with the whole lobby hunting you, it plays much longer. Shockwave Grenades combined with your unlimited stamina are the most reliable tools for surviving the timer.
How to complete the Sprite Contract quests
The Sprite Contract wraps everything together and can be completed in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Reload. The final stage of this contract is also what unlocks the Simpsons John Wick skin style.
| Quest | Requirement | Best Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Collect a John Wick Sprite | 1 collection | Find in Reload chests, loot eliminated players, or win a Victory Royale |
| Eliminate players with the John Wick Sprite equipped | 10 eliminations | Target early-game fights, extract Sprite before end-zone |
| Master the John Wick Sprite | Reach level 5 | Continued use across matches |
The John Wick Sprite itself has an enemy-revealing effect, which makes it useful beyond just the quest. Grab early-game eliminations while the lobby is still spread out, then consider extracting the Sprite before the final circles get too contested. End-zones tend to attract the sweatiest players, and losing the Sprite there sets you back.
Mastering the Sprite to level 5 takes consistent use across multiple matches. There is no shortcut here, but the enemy-revealing effect means it genuinely helps you play better while you grind the final stage.
Sprite mastery unlocks the skin style
For players who primarily play Reload, the Boss Contract is the only one forcing a mode switch. Plan for one or two Battle Royale sessions specifically for the hire and Boss defeat stages, then return to Reload for everything else.
