Seven Sliders are one of the more entertaining mobility items in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, but the quest attached to them trips up a lot of players. Dealing 150 damage with "style" sounds vague until you understand exactly what the game is asking for. Once it clicks, this quest is straightforward enough to knock out in a single match.
What does "damage opponents with style" actually mean?
The wording on this quest is the main source of confusion. "With style" does not refer to any cosmetic or emote. It means you need to deal damage while actively sliding with the Seven Sliders equipped. The total required is 150 damage, and it counts against both hostile NPCs and real enemy players.
The Seven Sliders have two distinct movement modes:
- Power Slide: A fast, aggressive slide for rapid repositioning.
- Bullet Time: A sliding mode that zooms in slightly and slows down time around you, making it much easier to land shots on targets.
For this quest, Bullet Time is the mode you want. The slow-motion effect gives you a real window to aim and connect hits while sliding, which is exactly what the quest requires.

How to complete the quest efficiently
The fastest way to clear this quest is to target NPCs rather than real players. NPC enemies have predictable movement and poor aim, so you can slide around them freely without taking heavy return fire. This lets you focus entirely on connecting shots instead of surviving a gunfight.
A reliable farming spot is the area around Alan Wick's dog spawn location. The NPCs that guard that area cluster together, giving you multiple targets in a small space. Slide into Bullet Time, fire at the group, and you can stack damage quickly without much risk.
Here's a quick breakdown of the two approaches:
NPCs are the clear pick here. 150 damage sounds like a lot, but a few good Bullet Time passes through an NPC cluster will get you there faster than you'd expect.
How to get Seven Sliders in Fortnite
Seven Sliders are a random loot drop from any container on the island. There is no guaranteed spawn point, which makes finding them the actual bottleneck for this quest. Open chests and supply drops as normal and hope for the drop.
A few things worth knowing about acquiring them:
- Earth Sprites improve your loot quality, which raises the odds of pulling Seven Sliders from containers. If you're struggling to find a pair, running an Earth Sprite companion is worth considering. Check out the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprite tier list to find the best Sprite for loot hunting.
- Car washes recharge the Seven Sliders if you run out of juice before completing the quest. Locate one on the map and drive through to restore them.
- The item can drop from any standard container, so prioritize looting densely populated POIs early in the match to maximize your chances.

Tips for landing shots while sliding
Shooting while moving is always harder than standing still, and sliding adds an extra layer of difficulty. A few adjustments make the 150 damage target much more achievable:
- Shotguns and SMGs work best for this quest. Their spread or high fire rate compensates for the movement making precise aim harder.
- Engage at close range. The further the target, the harder it is to connect while sliding. Get close to NPCs before activating Bullet Time.
- Aim slightly ahead of where you're sliding toward. The Bullet Time slow-down helps, but your own movement still affects shot placement.
- Don't sprint through the slide. Let the Bullet Time animation play out and take deliberate shots rather than spraying and hoping.
After testing this against the NPC clusters near Alan Wick's dog, the most consistent approach is activating Bullet Time at roughly 10-15 meters from a group, then firing controlled bursts. You can realistically hit 50 or more damage per pass if you stay calm and aim properly.
What else can you do with Seven Sliders?
Beyond the quest, Seven Sliders are genuinely useful for traversal and combat repositioning. Power Slide covers ground fast and can surprise players who aren't expecting aggressive movement. Bullet Time has real utility in mid-range fights where you want to stay mobile without sacrificing accuracy.
If you find a pair early in a match and the quest is already done, keep them equipped. The mobility advantage they provide is real, especially when rotating through open areas where you'd otherwise be an easy target.
