Fortnite Season 9, Week 7 challenges and how to complete them Epic Gamesv9.30 update, which included the surprise addition of a brand new consumable item in the form of Chug Splash, which can be thrown at teammates to instantly provide 20 health points to anyone in its radius. While players are still getting used to the new items, they also have a brand-new batch of weekly challenges, which reward players with Battle Stars that are used to rank up their Battle Pass and unlock new items. As always, the Week 7 challenges come in two parts. The first three challenges are free to anyone who owns the game, while the other four are exclusively available to players who purchased the Season 9 Battle Pass. Successfully completing any four of the seven challenges will also unlock a 7,000XP reward, and completing all seven will move you one step closer to unlocking the Utopia skin, which requires completed weeks as part of its challenges. The Season 9, Week 7 challenges officially went live on Thursday, June 20 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST / 2:00 PM BST, and you can take a look at the challenges in full below. Fortnite Season 9 Week 7 Challenges Free Challenges Search (7) chests at Junk Junction or Neo Tilted – Five Battle Stars – Search (7) ammo boxes in different named locations – Five Battle Stars – Perform (3) suppressed weapon eliminations – 10 Battle Stars – Battle Pass Challenges Deal (200) damage to opponents while riding in a vehicle – 10 Battle Stars – Stage 1/3: Visit The Block and Loot Lake in a single match – One Battle Star Stage 2/3: Visit Fatal Fields and Neo Tilted in a single match – Two Battle Stars – Stage 3/3: Visit Snobby Shores and Mega Mall in a single match – Two Battle Stars – – Search a chest, use a vending machine, and a campfire in a single match – 10 Battle Stars – Perform (3) eliminations from 5m or less – 10 Battle Stars – Completing four of the objectives will net players 7,000 XP. Fortnite Season 9, Week 7 challenges and how to complete them Search seven chests at Junk Junction or Neo Tilted [Five Battle Stars] The first challenge of Week 7 sees players forced to visit either Junk Junction or Neo Tilted, and open seven chests. This challenge doesn’t need to be completed in one match, so even if you head to the location and only manage to find one unopened chest, you can head back another time and add more to your tally. Neo Tilted is the easiest of the two locations to complete this challenge, as it has more chests than Junk Junction, although this comes at the price of being a busier area, so be prepared to get into fights early in the match. Search seven ammo boxes in different named locations [Five Battle Stars] Players will also need to keep an eye out for ammo boxes, as they need to open seven of them at named locations to earn the Battle Stars for this challenge. Again, it doesn’t need to be completed in one match, or in the same area, so any time you’re in a location that is named on the map like Pleasant Park or Mega Mall, keep an eye out for the green ammunition crates. Perform three suppressed weapon eliminations [10 Battle Stars] This challenge will require a little more hard work, as players will need to find kills with weapons which have a silencer equipped to the front of them. Currently, the only suppressed weapons in Fortnite are the Suppressed Pistol and the Suppressed Sniper Rifle, so you’ll need to find and use these weapons if you want to complete this challenge. Deal 200 damage to opponents while riding in a vehicle [10 Battle Stars] Slightly more tricky, players must deal damage while riding in a vehicle, which means you may need a teammate to drive you around on a Quadcrasher to complete this challenge. If you’re on your own, you can hop on a Drift Board, pull out your weapon, and fire at opponents. Stage 1: Visit The Block and Loot Lake in a single match [One Battle Star] The sole staged challenge in Week 7, Epic Games are asking players to visit two specific named locations in a single match in this challenge, with three different tasks designed to keep you moving around the map. The good news is that while you must complete the stages in order, there is no specific order in which you must visit the locations in the singular stage, so in Stage 1, you can visit either of The Block or Loot Lake first with no worries of failing the challenge. Stage 1/3: Visit The Block and Loot Lake in a single match – One Battle Star – Stage 2/3: Visit Fatal Fields and Neo Tilted in a single match – Two Battle Stars – Stage 3/3: Visit Snobby Shores and Mega Mall in a single match – Two Battle Stars – Search a chest, use a vending machine, and a campfire in a single match [10 Battle Stars] While this may sound difficult, it will likely be fairly straightforward, as the game’s map is littered with both vending machines and campfires. The easiest way to complete this challenge is to head to Paradise Palms, which is the location with the most vending machines located inside at four. The hills surrounding the city are also home to four campfires, so finding one shouldn’t take long. Perform three eliminations from five meters or less [10 Battle Stars] The final challenge will require you to get up close and personal with your opponents, as you must eliminate three of them within a range of five meters or less. The easiest way to do this will be with a shotgun, as it often requires just a couple of shots to take down an enemy. This article was updated at 8:02 AM EST on Thursday, June 20.

Fortnite Season 9 Week 8 challenges and how to complete them Epic GamesThe eighth week of Fortnite’s 14 Days of Summer event is now live, giving players a brand-new daily challenge every day which unlocks rewards for any players who choose to complete the tasks, which so far have seen players searching for beach parties and bouncing giant beach balls. As always, there is a brand-new set of weekly challenges, which reward players with Battle Stars which are used to rank up the game’s Battle Pass. The challenges are divided into two sections: three challenges which are free and available to anyone who owns the game, with another locked and only completable by those who own the Season 9 Battle Pass. Successfully completing challenges will reward you with more than Battle Stars, as anyone who finishes any four of the seven weekly tasks will receive an 8,000XP bonus to help you level up, as well as move you one step closer to the Utopia skin should you wrap up all seven. The Season 9 Week 8 challenges went officially go live on Thursday, June 27 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST / 2:00PM BST, and you can look at the full list below. Fortnite Season 9, Week 8 challenges Free Challenges Apply (400) shields – 5 Battle Stars – Visit (3) different clocks – 5 Battle Stars – Eliminate (7) opponents in Snobby Shores or Mega Mall – 10 Battle Stars – Battle Pass Challenges Deal (500) damage to opponents with Assault Rifles – 5 Battle Stars – Stage 1/5: Land at Paradise Palms – 1 Battle Star Stage 2/5: Land at Neo Tilted – 1 Battle Star – Stage 3/5: Land at Mega Mall – 1 Battle Star – Stage 4/5: Land at Pleasant Park – 1 Battle Star – Stage 5/5: Land at Junk Junction – 1 Battle Star – – Use a Volcano Vent, Air Vent, and a Zipline in a single match – 10 Battle Stars – Perform (5) eliminations outside of named locations – 10 Battle Stars – Completing four of the objectives will net players 8,000 XP. If you’re struggling to complete any of the seven weekly challenges, you can use our handy guides to help you earn those Battle Stars. Fortnite Season 9, Week 8 challenges and how to complete them Apply 400 shields – Five Battle Stars The first challenge of Week 8 asks players to add 400 shield points to their character. This doesn’t have to take place in one match, so this should be an easy challenge to complete. There are no specific ways in which the shield must be added, so if you see Mini Shield Pots, Shield Pots, Slurp Juice, Chug Splash or a Chug Jug, make sure to grab it and use it like you normally would. Visit three different clocks – Five Battle Stars Challenge two will require the player to do some detective work, as they must hunt down and visit three different clocks on the Fortnite map. If you’re struggling to find them, players will need to head to Junk Junction, Neo Tilted and Happy Hamlet, with no specified order in which you need to go to them in. Eliminate seven opponents in Snobby Shores or Mega Mall – 10 Battle Stars Fairly self-explanatory, Fortnite fans will need to head to either Snobby Shores or Mega Mall, and send seven different players back to the lobby while in those named locations. Players can choose either location as the spot where they would like to find their kills, don’t have to find all seven in one match, and can choose to grab a few in each area if they would like to. Deal 500 damage to opponents with Assault Rifles – Five Battle Stars Another easy challenge, all you need to do is pick up an Assault Rifle of any kind, and deal 500 damage to enemy players to earn the reward. The easiest way to do this is to find eliminations with the weapon, as taking down three enemy players with full health and shield will add 200 damage to your challenge, however any bullets which connect with an opponent will count, so don’t worry if you can only land one bullet on them. Stage 1: Land at Paradise Palms – One Battle Star This week’s only staged challenge requires players to land at five different named locations. This means that players must head here once they jump out of the Battle Bus, and visiting these areas later in the match won’t count towards the completion of the challenge, with each stage required to be finished in order. The stages are: Stage 1/5: Land at Paradise Palms – One Battle Star – Stage 2/5: Land at Neo Tilted – One Battle Star – Stage 3/5: Land at Mega Mall – One Battle Star – Stage 4/5: Land at Pleasant Park – One Battle Star – Stage 5/5: Land at Junk Junction – One Battle Star – Use a Volcano Vent, Air Vent and a Zipline in a single match – 10 Battle Stars The easiest way to complete this challenge is to head to the Pressure Pit area of the map, as this is where the most Volcano Vents and Ziplines are. Players only have to use each one once, so keep an eye out for them as you travel around and quickly use one as you find it. Perform five eliminations outside of named locations – 10 Battle Stars A twist on a classic Fortnite challenge, players must find five kills when they are outside of a named location. This means that any elimination you find in an area that is mentioned by name on the game’s map will not count towards this challenge. The easiest way to complete this challenge is to stay close to the edge of the storm, and try to catch people who are rotating away from named locations as they attempt to survive.

Fortnite Season 9, Week 6 challenges and how to complete them Fortnite Season 9 is now into Week 6, which means there is a brand new set of seven weekly challenges ready to be completed by Battle Pass owners. The sixth week of the season kicked off on June 12 with the v9.21 update, which introduced the brand-new Proximity Grenade Launcher to the game, alongside a nerf for the Storm Flip and a number of balancing changes to loot availability. Having had a little time with the new update, fans of the game now have a new batch of weekly challenges to complete, which will reward players with Battle Stars that they can use to rank up their Battle Pass. 500As usual, there are three free challenges which are open to anyone who owns the game, with a further four challenges which are available only to players who purchased the Season 9 Battle Pass. Successfully undertaking four of the seven total challenges will unlock 5,000XP reward, and finishing all of them will add another completed week to the Utopia challenges, which will award players with the special reward skin later on in Season 9. The Season 9 Week 6 challenges will go live on Thursday, June 13 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST / 2:00 PM BST, giving players a number of new challenges to sink their teeth into while they search for Victory Royales. The challenges are now officially live, and you can take a look at them below. Leaked Fortnite Season 9 Week 6 challenges Free Challenges Staged Challenge: Land at … (5 Battle Stars) Land at Lucky Landing (1 Battle Star) – Land at Loot Lake (1 Battle Star) – Land at Shifty Shafts (1 Battle Star) – Land at Frosty Flights (1 Battle Star) – Land at Haunted Hills (1 Battle Star) – – Deal 500 damage with SMGs to opponents (5 Battle Stars) – Staged Challenge: … at a Hot Spot Search chests at a Hot Spot (3 Battle Stars) – Search ammo boxes at a Hot Spot (3 Battle Stars) – Eliminations at a Hot Spot (1 Battle Star) – – Battle Pass Challenges Deal 200 damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent (5 Battle Stars) – Use a Storm Flip in three different matches (5 Battle Stars) – Use two different vehicles in a single match (10 Battle Stars) – Eliminate three opponents in The Block or Fatal Fields (10 Battle Stars) – If you’re struggling to complete any of the seven challenges, you can use our handy guides which should help you out. Fortnite Season 9, Week 6 challenges and how to complete them Stage 1: Land at Lucky Landing [Staged Challenge, Five Battle Stars] The first staged challenge of Week 6 sees players required to land at five different named locations across the map. Players will need to drop here out of the Battle Bus, and start in the southern most point of the map, ending up north at Haunted Hills. The challenge must be completed in order, so make sure not to skip any or you won’t receive your Battle Stars. Deal 500 damage with SMGs to opponents [Five Battle Stars] Another straightforward challenge, players will need to grab one of the game’s submachine guns and deal 500 damage to opponents. There’s no specific weapon required to complete this, so the first one you find is perfect, whether it’s a Burst SMG or just the normal version. Stage 1: Search chests at a Hot Spot [10 Battle Stars] Perhaps the most difficult challenge, players will have to head to the Hot Spot to earn these Battle Stars, and are required to search chests, search ammo boxes and find an elimination at the location. The whereabouts of the Hot Spot changes every map, and due to the increased amount of loot, there may be others in the area, so keep your wits about you. Again, these must be completed in order, so an elimination won’t count towards your challenge if you haven’t search the chests or ammo boxes first. Deal 200 damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent [Five Battle Stars] Keep your eyes peeled for enemy players zooming across the map in a Baller or on a Quadcrasher, as you’ll need to deal damage to the vehicle driven by them to complete this one. Damage done to the driver themselves won’t count, so make sure you hit the vehicle before you try and take them down. Use a Storm Flip in three different matches [Five Battle Stars] Players will need to be on the lookout for the Storm Flip item, as they’ll need to throw one of these three times to complete this challenge. The good news is that you don’t have to deal damage in this challenge, so you can just pick one up and throw it immediately if you don’t want to carry it around while you search for opponents. Use two different vehicles in a single match [10 Battle Stars] Find vehicles and hop in, because you’ll need to use two different versions in a single match to earn the 10 Battle Star reward for this challenge. The easiest way to complete this one is to find a vehicle, whether it’s a Driftboard, a Baller, or a Quadcrasher, and drive around in it until you find one of the others. Then, quickly hop on it, drive around a little, and you’re finished. Eliminate three opponents in The Block or Fatal Fields [10 Battle Stars] Finally, players will need to head to either The Block or Fatal Fields, and take down three opponents in either of the locations. The three kills don’t need to be secured in a single match, nor do all three need to come from the same location, so you can choose where you want to go based on your drop or personal preference.

Fortnite Season 9, Week 10 challenges and how to complete them Epic GamesWe’re now into the tenth week of Fortnite’s 14 Days of Summer event is now complete, but that doesn’t mean that Epic Games won’t be adding more challenges for you to sink your teeth into with the release of the weekly challenge set. As always, the developers have added seven new tasks to the game, with XP and Battle Stars offered as rewards for those who manage to complete them. The Season 9, Week 10 challenges are divided into two parts – three free challenges that can be completed by anyone who owns the game, with a further four challenges locked and only available to those who purchased the Season 9 Battle Pass. Completing any four of the seven challenges will grant a 10,000 XP bonus as a reward, along with Battle Stars that can be used to rank up your Battle Pass and unlock new cosmetic items for your character, and a special loading screen if you complete all of them. The new set of weekly challenges will went live on Thursday, July 11 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST / 2:00 PM BST, and you can view them in full below. Fortnite Season 9, Week 10 challenges Use an Air Strike in 3 different matches – 5 Battle Stars – Damage opponents with shotguns – 5 Battle Stars – Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match – 10 Battle Stars – Visit different public service announcement signs in Neo Tiled, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall – 5 Battle Stars – Stage 1 of 3: Collect Wood from a Pirate Ship or Viking Ship – 2 Battle Stars Stage 2 of 3: Collect Stone from a Fork Knife or Umbrella – 2 Battle Stars – Stage 3 of 3: Collect Metal from a Robot Factory – 1 Battle Stars – – Eliminate opponents in Pleasant Park or Paradise Palms – 10 Battle Stars – Damage opponents with a pickaxe – 5 Battle Stars – If you’re struggling to complete any of the Season 9, Week 10 challenges, you can use our handy guides to help you earn some Battle Stars. Fortnite Season 9, Week 10 challenges and how to complete them Use an Air Strike in three different matches – Five Battle Stars The first challenge of Week 10 is relatively straightforward, as players are tasked with using the game’s new Air Strike item in three different matches. The good news is that you don’t have to find any eliminations with the weapon, or even deal damage to enemy players, so as long as you throw it, it will count towards your challenge. Remember, you can’t finish the challenge in a single match, as they must be used in three separate games. Deal 500 damage to opponents with shotguns – Five Battle Stars Shotguns are one of the strongest weapons in the game, so dealing damage to opponents while using them shouldn’t be too difficult. The damage doesn’t need to be dealt in one game, but with shotguns acting as go-to weapons in close combat, it’s likely that you’ll be able to complete this challenge fairly quickly. Search seven Ammo Boxes in a single match – 10 Battle Stars Throughout a typical Fortnite match, you’ll constantly see the small green Ammo Boxes sitting around the map, and likely walk past them as you move across the island. Well, for this challenge you need to make sure you’re opening every loot box you see, as you need to take the ammo from seven of these crates in a single match. If you get eliminated or can’t find the seven you need to finish this task, you’ll need to start all over again in the next game. Visit five different public service announcement signs in Neo Tilted, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall – Five Battle Stars To complete this challenge, players will need to be on the lookout for the public service announcement signs that were added to the game at the start of the Doggus event. These signs appear on the walls of buildings found in Neo Tilted, Pressure Plant, and Mega Mall, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled as you run around these locations. Some are smaller than others and are found on the inside of buildings, while others are massive screens that adorn the outside of structures. Stage 1: Collect Wood from a Pirate Ship or Viking Ship – Five Battle Stars The only staged challenge in Week 10 asks players to gather some materials from specific players, so be prepared to do some travelling if you intend on completing this challenge. Players will need to head to Lazy Lagoon or the Viking Village above Snobby Shores to gather wood from the ships, the knife and fork or umbrella carved into the ground at The Block or Fatal Fields respectively to grab the stone, and Pressure Plant to find metal from a robot building factory. Eliminate three opponents in Pleasant Park or Paradise Palms – 10 Battle Stars Expect these locations to be busy, as players will start dropping at these spots in search of the three kills they need to complete this challenge. Thankfully, you don’t need to find all three in a single match, so you can keep dropping at either Pleasant Park or Paradise Palms until you finally find all three kills. Deal 200 damage to opponents with a pickaxe – Five Battle Stars Put your weapons away for this challenge, as you’ll need to deal 200 damage to opponents with a pickaxe to earn these five battle stars. Obviously, this will require you to be extremely close to an enemy player, so the easiest time to do this is probably right as they land, or another option is to stay on the Battle Bus right to the end, and hope to catch players who joined the game but are AFK, and eliminate them quickly. This article was updated at 8:05 AM EST on Thursday, July 11.

Fortnite Season 9: Week 10 challenges have been leaked Data miners have revealed the challenge list for Week 10, the final week of Fortnite Season 9 – here is what you’ll need to do before the season’s end. Fortnite Season 10 is fast approaching, with an epic battle brewing to close the end of Season 9, as a massive robot is under construction at Pressure Plant, presumably to fight the sea monster that has roamed the map in recent weeks. While we wait for more information regarding the upcoming Cattus event, players will need to focus on completing their remaining challenges in order to gain access to the Tier 100 Vendetta skin and the additional skin variants. If you still haven’t completed your week nine challenges, you can use our useful guide to finish them easily. Week 10 challenges leaked Data miner @Lucas7Yoshi has uncovered exactly what the challenge list will be during the final week of Season 9, thanks to game files being added to Fortnite already with the developers on summer vacation. As always, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt as they are subject to change when they officially go live in-game. However, last week’s challenges were exactly how the leak predicted, so this list should be spot on. 600Fortnite Season 9, Week 10 challenges Use an Air Strike in 3 different matches – 5 Battle Stars – Damage opponents with shotguns – 5 Battle Stars – Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match – 10 Battle Stars – Visit different public service announcement signs in Neo Tiled, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall – 5 Battle Stars – Stage 1 of 3: Collect Wood from a Pirate Ship or Viking Ship – 2 Battle Stars – Stage 2 of 3: Collect Stone from a Fork Knife or Umbrella – 2 Battle Stars – Stage 3 of 3: Collect Metal from a Robot Factory – 1 Battle Stars – Eliminate opponents in Pleasant Park of Paradise Palms – 10 Battle Stars – Damage opponents with a pickaxe – 5 Battle Stars – The week ten challenges suggest an airstrike item will be coming to Fortnite in the next week, meaning you should be prepared to face an aerial bombardment from your enemy. Although this is the final week of regular challenges for Season 9, it’s expected that there could be some ‘overtime’ challenges to follow, which will make up for the gap between the end of the current season and the start of Season 10. Be sure to follow Dexerto’s challenge guides to gain those Battle Stars in the shortest time possible.

Fortnite Season 9 Teaser 2 doubles down on futuristic Battle Royale theme Epic GamesThe second Fortnite Battle Royale Season 9 teaser has been dropped by Epic Games, further hinting at a futuristic theme for the highly-anticipated new season. Season 8 is officially coming to a close, with the final event of the season seeing popular locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row demolished thanks to the volcano, while the recent ‘Unvaulting’ in-game event saw the return of the Drum Gun to the battle royale title. With the release of each new season, Epic Games regularly use the teasers released before the official kick-off to tease the overarching theme, with pirates and treasure appearing throughout Season 8. Epic Games release second Season 9 teaser Epic Games have released the second teaser for the highly-anticipated Season 9, seemingly continuing the theme of futuristic warfare with an image of a character that looks to be wearing a helmet, and possibly a space suit. The image, which was unveiled on the official Fortnite Battle Royale Twitter account, shows shows a female character wear a helmet, with a visor obscuring part of her face. The character seems to be wearing the same suit as seen in the first teaser, likely confirming that the pair are related in the overarching story. The Future is Bright. 5.9.2019 #FortniteSeason9 pic.twitter.com/Nvm7TiMq2I— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 7, 2019 The caption that accompanied the teaser reads: “The Future is Bright”, which could be a hint at some major changes that will be coming to the game in the near future. Following the release of the teaser, Epic Games Worldwide Creative Director Donald Mustard continued to tease fans with what they can expect when the new season launches, writing a cryptic message in response to the image, stating: “From the ashes…” What this means for the game is unknown, but some have already started to guess that it has something to do with Tilted Towers and Retail Row, which were destroyed by the volcano and reduced to rubble and ash. The tweets also appear to be spelling out a phrase, with the letters ‘N’ and ‘E’ featuring as part of each of the teasers. What Epic Games are spelling out in these teasers is currently unknown, but some have surmised that it will be “NEW”, possibly hinting a brand new map for the game. The first teaser appeared to hint at a futuristic theme as well, with a picture of what appears to be a robot, with a mysterious horned helmet that appeared during the ‘Unvaulting’ event, and has a script on its chest – although it’s unknown what the writing translates too. The tweet was captioned with the phrase “The Future is Unknown”, prompting many to believe that we will see a massive overhaul of the game and the map as it moves towards a more futuristic feel following the pirate ships and cannonballs that were seen throughout Season 8. With excitement continuing to grow for Season 9, Epic Games have released brand new Overtime challenges that will allow players to unlock new styles for the Sidewinder, Ember and Master Key characters. Fans will likely have to wait until Thursday, May 9 to see what the future holds for the popular battle royale title, but it’s extremely likely that Epic Games will release another teaser tomorrow on May 8.

Fortnite Season 9 Week 3 and 4 loading screens leaked – Utopia challenges Two more loading screens have been leaked for Season 9, for weeks 3 and 4, and they reveal not only some interesting cosmetics, but also include a hidden meaning. As with previous seasons, Season 9 has its own set of season-long challenges, similar to the ‘Discovery’ challenges before, this time called Utopia. The loading screens in the game have more than just an aesthetic purpose, of course, as they also give players hints and clues to finding secret banners and stars hidden on the map. The loading screens have also been used to tell the ‘story’ of the game too, such as the prisoner skin performing his ritual, which eventually led to the volcano arriving. Season 9 Week 3 and Week 4 loading screens Dropping alongside the v9.10 update, the two loading screens for week 3 and 4 of Season 9 not only include the clues for hidden items, but also brand new skins and styles. Week 3’s loading screen, via @FireMonkeyFN, shows a new dog skin, surrounded by smaller dog pets, and the battle star hint is visible among the graffiti on the wall. Leaked week 3 loading screen, via @FireMonkeyFN And then for Week 4, the loading screen shows off the new drones, which have just been added in the v9.10 update. Leaked week 4 loading screen, via @FireMonkeyFN Before the guides hidden in the images are any use to you, though, you will need to complete the weekly challenges for the respective weeks. Week 3 challenges are expected to go live on Thursday, May 23, and we’ll have guides for any of the trickier ones, should you be stuck. Once completed, you’ll simply need to do some close inspection of these images to find where you need to go – or, you could always cheat and use our location guide for the hidden star too.

All Fortnite Season 9 map changes – Neo Tilted Towers, Mega Mall and more Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale have introduced sweeping changes to the map, including the snow biome that remains to the south-west and the desert area that is still standing to the south-east. Yet, Fortnite Season 9 has refreshed the map in a different way. Tilted Towers and Retail Row, which were ravaged in the ‘unvaulting’ event that happened on May 4, have been re-introduced as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall – with Tilted now having a new way to get around the map inside too. Unlike Season 8, there are no ‘new’ additional locations like we saw with Lazy Lagoon and Sunny Steps – even though Retail Row and Tilted Towers have been reimagined. Both Neo Tilted and Mega Mall have taken the places of their predecessors, not moving an inch on the map. The Season 9 patch notes state that the locations “emerged from the destruction of the Volcano,” and because of the Volcano blowing its top, it has also been changed to ‘Pressure Plant’ with the funnel being completely wiped off the map. 600Neo Tilted Neo Tilted towers has taken up all the land of the original Tilted Towers as Epic Games have dragged it kicking and screaming into the future. There are a ton of new ‘slipstreams’ around the area too – these are the new method of transportation around the map now, similar to how the Geysers were introduced with Season 8. The new tilted towers. #Fortnite #XboxShare pic.twitter.com/hIXTkefToQ — kayla’s fortnite clips (@Fortnit23606361) May 9, 2019 Mega Mall The land that remained at Retail Row following the Volcano destruction has been scooped up and turned into a Mega Mall – complete with a brand new Pizza Pit location too. The parking lot shootouts may still remain despite the change, but the area you once knew like that back of your hand is long gone. Mega Mall ‘Stranger Things’ easter egg We’ve already seen a number of high profile crossovers in Fortnite Battle Royale – with the Avengers: Endgame being the most recent. Yet, we might have another on our hands. Inside the Mega Mall location is an Ice Cream parlor with the name Scoops Ahoy. While that may not seem like all that much, the name and look of the area is eerily similar to the location shown in the recent Stranger Things season three trailer that was released by Netflix. This might be an early hint to a potential project together or there might just be a few Stranger Things fans on the Epic Games design team – but it’s something to keep an eye on before the show releases on July 4. Found this easter egg in fortnite referring to the Scoops Ahoy shop that appeared in Stranger things season 3 pic.twitter.com/6ynBMTKjfE — I Trxtxn I (@Tristan44162271) May 9, 2019 Pressure Plant The inside of the Volcano has been renamed as ‘Pressure Plant’ as has a somewhat similar look to Dusty Divot – with the pop-up lab tents and temporary stairs. There could well be some more changes along the way for the Volcano, and considering it looks way different to its original look, it might not be too long before it’s wiped off the map completely. Junk Junction No, Junk Junction hasn’t had an overhaul like Neo Tilted, Mega Mall or Pressure Plant, but there are some easter eggs to be found if you decide to drop in. The recently destroyed Tilted Towers Clock Tower can now be broken down into materials as it stands towards the back of Junk Junction – as well as a few others that you might recognize from the Unvaulting event. Loot Lake This was an ever changing point of interest in Fortnite Battle Royale during Season 8 and now, in Season 9, Loot Lake has transformed once again. While this might still be one of the last remaining original locations by name, the screengrab below will give fans an idea of just how different it looks following the v9.00 update. Sky Platforms The battle royale game has never had sky platforms before. Well, at least until Season 9 came along. Here’s a guide on how to visit all 7 Sky Platforms in Fortnite Battle Royale to help complete the Season 9, Week 1 challenges, where you will have to visit them all, which could be particularly useful as not everybody will know where to find them just yet. One, which is located near Dusty Divot, can be found below. John Wick? There have been a lot of major changes to the map for people to check out, but don’t let those overshadow some of the smaller additions – such as this house. Or, as many fans of the game have suggested already, property. The building below is rumored to have been added to Fortnite Battle Royale in connection with a future John Wick event in Season 9. Some content has already been leaked for the ‘Wick’s Bounty’ LTM, such as a possible challenge list. More changes potentially coming soon Despite the brand new, futuristic theme, Tilted and Retail are the only areas to get a brand new update, so it might not be out of the realm of possibility that other areas get a similar change too. It remains to be seen if Epic has any plans for an in-season map update, or if these three map changes are the only ‘new’ points of interest that we will get to play at this season.

Fortnite Season 9 leak includes info on Battle Pass gifting Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale players may finally be able to gift Battle Passes during the upcoming Season 9, according to a new leak. Gifting in Fortnite Gifting has been available in Fortnite Battle Royale, for limited time periods, since Epic Games first rolled out the feature in the v6.31 update. It has been brought back a handful of times since to give players the ability to pass on skins and other items to their friends. Now, according to new leaks, it appears as if it will be making a return in Season 9 and players will be able to gift more than just skins and emotes. Gifting Battle Passes According to apparent datamined files, players will be able to gift Battle Passes to their friends during the soon-to-be-released Season 9 – which is set to start around May 9th. A number of Fortnite Battle Royale leakers revealed the new information on Twitter, including FNBRLeaks. While the user did not have any in-game code or leaked animations to show us, they tweeted: “Starting Season 9, you’ll be able to gift the Battle Pass to users via the Gifting System.” Starting Season 9, you’ll be able to gift the Battle Pass to users via the Gifting System :yes::skin-tone-3: — Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks (@FNBRLeaks) April 22, 2019 That information was seemingly backed up by another Fortnite Battle Royale leaker, Guille-GAG, as they tweeted out a photo of in-game files that looked to be a set of coding that would allow players to trade battle passes. FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE – We can now confirm you are ABLE to GIFT BATTLE PASSES. pic.twitter.com/pOuNPqT7QK — Guille-GAG – Fortnite Leaks & News (@Guille_GAG) October 13, 2018 Despite these supposed leaks, there has been no official word from Epic Games about whether or not players will be able to gift battle passes to their friends. As there has been no official word, confirmation or otherwise, there is sure to be speculation about how long this gifting period may last considering players were only previously allowed to purchase items for their friends for around one week. It remains to be seen if the idea will actually be implemented in-game and if players will need more account security than the multi-factor authentication that was required to gift items back in season 6 and earlier in season 8.

This week, players will need to be on the lookout for a hidden Battle Star, and can use the loading screen they unlock when they complete the weekly challenges to search for it. The hint for the Battle Star location is tricky, but you can use our handy guide to save a lot of searching. Deal 100 damage with a Pickaxe to opponents [5 Battle Stars] Fortnite players will need to ditch their weapons for this challenge, as damage must be dealt with a pickaxe to earn the five Battle Stars reward. The easiest way to complete this challenge is to either land right beside someone at the start of the match and hit them when they have no gun, or knock someone in a duos or squads match, and use the Pickaxe to eliminate them. Stage 1: Visit Junk Junction and The Block in a single match [1 Battle Star] Fairly straightforward, players will need to visit a number of named locations in a single match to complete this challenge. Thankfully, most of the locations are fairly close together, meaning you won’t have to traverse from one corner of the map to the other to finish this challenge. The stages are: Visit Junk Junction and The Block in a single match [1 Battle Star] – Visit Pleasant Park and Dusty Divot in a single match [2 Battle Stars] – Visit Happy Hamlet and Snobby Shores in a single match [2 Battle Stars] – Visit 3 Pirate Camps in a single match [10 Battle Stars] Pirate Camps are back in the Fortnite weekly challenges, with three visits to different outposts required to complete this challenge. The Pirate Camps are spread out across the map, so aiming for three which are relatively close together is the quickest way to complete this challenge. All three must be visited in a single match, so if you’re eliminated before you make it to the third and final Camp, you’ll have to start over in the next match. Deal 500 damage to players from above [5 Battle Stars] Pain will be raining down on opponents, as you deal damage to players from above them. The easiest way to complete this challenge is to build above opponents when in gunfights, or sit on elevated positions like towers and hills and fire down at your enemies. Search Chests at Loot Lake or Snobby Shores [5 Battle Stars] Another simple challenge, players will need to open seven chests at either of these locations to complete this one. While both areas have plenty of chests, it’s likely that both locations will be much busier than they were previously, so prepare for enemies to appear and try to take you down. Stage 1: Deal damage to opposing players while riding a Zipline [5 Battle Stars] The second staged challenge of the week, Fortnite fans must deal damage to players while riding a Zipline to complete the first stage. Then, they will need to keep an eye out for opponents who are utilizing a Zipline themselves, and deal damage to them. Deal damage to opposing players while riding a Zipline. – Deal damage to opposing players who are riding a Zipline. – Eliminate five opponents in different named locations [10 Battle Stars] Fortnite fans will have to take out five enemy players in named locations. These are any places on the Fortnite map that have a name, so head towards spots like Tilted Towers or Pleasant Park to find opponents you can eliminate to earn 10 Battle Stars. –

How to complete the Fortnite Season 8 Week 6 Challenges Discovery Challenges Unsurprisingly, Fortnite’s Discovery Challenges continue to rumble on throughout Season 8, and Week 6 will see players on the lookout for a secret banner rather than a hidden Battle Star. Fortnite fans need to use the Week 6 loading screen to find the hidden banner, which can be unlocked when all seven weekly challenges have been completed, but if you’re struggling to find the banner, you can use our handy guide to save yourself from the hunt. Visit a wooden rabbit, a stone pig and a metal llama [5] This challenge will require Fortnite fans to head to three separate locations to earn their Battle Stars, as they will need to visit three structures in the shape of animals to complete it. These structures are separated out across the Fortnite map, with the wooden rabbit sitting above Snobby Shores, the stone pig on a hill beside Lucky Landing, and the giant metal llama at the very top of the map just north of Junk Junction. Visit the 5 highest elevations on the island [5] Hopefully you’re not afraid of heights, as Fortnite players will be visiting the five highest peaks on the Fortnite map. These are spread out across the map, but our handy guide will help you find the spots with the greatest elevation on the map with ease. Eliminate three opponents at Lazy Lagoon or Frosty Flights [10] Expect these two locations to get busier over the next few days, as players will start dropping here in the hopes of finding the three eliminations they need to complete this challenge. Simply land at either Lazy Lagoon in the north of the island, or Frosty Flights in the southwest, and start searching for enemies to kill. Stage 1: Land at Fatal Fields [1] This week’s Staged challenge will see players landing at different locations. There are five named places that you’ll have to visit immediately after you jump out of the Battle Bus, and they must be completed in the correct order to receive the reward. You can read the full five stages below. Land at Fatal Fields – Land at Lazy Lagoon – Land at Shifty Shafts – Land at Frosty Flights – Land at Sunny Steps – Search where the knife points on the Treasure Map loading screen [5] Fortnite fans will be forced to pull out the Treasure Map loading screen again, and this time head to the location at which the knife is pointing on the map. Finding the location may prove tricky, but we have a full guide that will help you get there. Get an elimination with a Flint-Knock Pistol or a Boom Bow [10] Another straightforward challenge, players will need to get their hands on one of Fortnite’s two newest weapons, the Flint-Knock Pistol or the Boom Bow. Once you find one, take down an enemy and eliminate them to secure this challenge. Use two different throwable items in a single match [10] This one will require some searching, as players will need to find two different throwable items and use them in a single game. These can include Stink Bombs and Boogie Bombs, so as soon as you find one, throw it. They don’t even have to hit another opponent, so don’t worry about holding on to them until you see an enemy player.

Fortnite Season 8 Week 4 challenges and how to complete them – The Baller, Buried Treasure and more Fortnite Season 8 is now into its fourth week, and as usual fans of the popular battle royale game have new challenges to sink their teeth into as they continue to earn stars to rank up their Battle Pass.

Now, Fortnite fans also have seven new Fortnite challenges to complete, with anyone who finishes all of them unlocking a brand new loading screen, which can be used to find the secret Hidden Banner for the Season 8 Discovery challenges. Fortnite’s weekly challenges are split into two parts: three free challenges that are open and available to anyone who owns the game, with four more exclusive challenges for players who own the Season 8 Battle Pass. While the official challenges are now officially live, we already had an idea as to what we could expect thanks to data miners, who scoured through the game’s files to leak the challenges before their official launch. While Epic Games can sometimes change these challenges before they go live, it appears that the developers stuck to what they had plans, with only a couple of changes when they finally released. Fortnite challenges for Week 4 of Season 8 Free Challenges Stage 1: Land at Tilted Towers [1] Stage 2: Land at Junk Junction [1] Stage 3: Land at Retail Row [1] Stage 4: Land at Happy Hamlet [1] Stage 5: Land at Pleasant Park [1] – Use The Baller in different matches (5) [5] – Get an elimination with a Scoped weapon and a Suppressed weapon [10] – Battle Pass Challenges Eliminate opponents at Happy Hamlet or Pleasant Park (10) [10] – Outlast opponents in a single match (60) [3] – Launch yourself through structures with a Pirate Cannon (25) [5] – Search for Buried Treasure (2) [5] – Fortnite fans will be forced to search for one of the game’s latest vehicles in The Baller, as one of the leaked challenges require players to use it in five different matche, and will also be on the hunt for Buried Treasure thanks to the Week 4 challenges. The Fortnite Season 8 Week 4 challenges awent live live at 7:30 AM PT / 10:30 AM ET/ 2:30 PM GMT on Thursday, March 21, and we have a number of useful guides to help you complete the brand new challenges. How to complete the Fortnite Season 8 Week 3 challenges Week 4 Discovery Challenge Fortnite’s Discovery Challenges will run throughout Season 8, and a new week of challenges means that players can finally get their hands on the Hidden Banner that has been placed somewhere on the map by Epic Games.

If you’re struggling to complete this challenge, you can head over to our guide which will show you how to find the Hidden Banner for Fortnite’s Season 8 Week 4 Discovery challenge. Search for two Buried Treasures [5] Fortnite fans will have to find the Treasure Map items to complete this challenge, as they are required to find two Buried Treasure chests. This challenge may prove to be tricky, as a number of opponents may also be hunting for the same thing. Launch yourself through 25 structures with a Pirate Cannon [5] Players will need to find a Pirate Outpost, or head to Lazy Lagoon and get their hands on one of the many Pirate Cannons that litter the Fortnite map. Once you find one, you’ll need to shoot yourself out of it and crash through structures, although they don’t have to be enemy built, so you can take down existing buildings if you find a quiet area. Get an elimination with a Scoped weapon and a Suppressed weapon [10] Fairly self-explanatory, players will need to eliminate opponents using a weapon with a scope, such as a Sniper Rifle or a Scoped Assault Rifle, and also find one kill using a suppressed weapon like the Silenced SMG. Thankfully, this challenge doesn’t have to be completed in the same match, so don’t worry if you can’t find one of each weapon when you drop in. Stage 1: Land at Tilted Towers [1] This week’s staged challenge will require players to land at various named locations around the map. This challenge must be completed in the correct order to finish it, with each stage unlocking after you have completed the previous one.

You don’t have to land in those areas to perform this challenge, so players can tool up elsewhere and then rotate over, although you’re likely to find fewer opponents. Outlast 60 opponents in a single match [3] Players will need to survive in a Fortnite match longer than 60 of their opponents to earn these Battle Stars. The game mode it is completed in doesn’t matter for this challenge, although it might be easier to do it in Solos as players won’t have teammates to revive them. Use The Baller in five different matches [5] Finally, players will need to hop into The Baller, and use it in five different matches to complete the final challenge. While this sounds easy, a recent nerf to the spawn rate of the vehicle might make it slightly more difficult, as there are now 50% less Ballers on the map than there were previously. The Fortnite Season 8 Week 4 challenges are now live on Thursday, March 21, and we’ll be sure to update this post with any new information as it becomes available.

Fortnite Season 8, Week 5 challenges and how to complete them – Pirate Camps, Race Track and more Fortnite ushered in the fifth week of Season 8 with the v8.20 update, and fans now have a brand new set of weekly challenges to complete as they continue to rank up their Battle Pass.

Players who own the Battle Pass will also have the opportunity to unlock a brand new loading screen by completing all seven weekly challenges, which can be used to find the hidden Battle Star for the game’s Discovery challenges. The Fortnite Season 8 Week 5 challenges have officially been released by Epic Games, although we already had a rough idea as to what we can expect when they finally live, thanks to data miner @Lucas7yoshi.

With Fortnite fans desperate to get their hands on those all important Battle Stars, here are some handy guides that should help you complete the Week 5 challenges. How to complete Fortnite Season 8 Week 5 Challenges Week 5 Discovery Challenge Fortnite’s Discovery Challenges will run throughout Season 8, and Week 5 sees players hunting for a hidden Battle Star which has been placed somewhere on the map by Epic Games. Players will need to head south of the Volcano to grab the star, and we’ve got a handy guide to help you find it if you’re struggling. Deal 200 damage with Scoped Weapons to opponents [5 Battle Stars] Fairly straightforward, players will need to get their hands on a weapon with sights, whether it’s a Scoped Pistol, Scoped AR or a Sniper Rifle, and deal 200 damage to enemy players. This challenge doesn’t need to be completed in one match, so don’t worry if you’re struggling to find enemies or a scoped weapon. Search seven chests at Paradise Palms or Shifty Shafts [5 Battle Stars] Players will need to head to either Paradise Palms in the south-east corner of the map, or to the abandoned mine known as Shifty Shafts and start opening chests to complete this challenge. Players don’t need to land with at these locations to complete them, so you can head there any time to finish this challenge. Get 15 bounces in a single throw with the Bouncy Ball toy [5 Battle Stars] Obviously, having the Bouncy Ball toy equipped as an emote is necessary to complete this challenge. Players will need to make the ball bounce 15 times in one throw, so it may be worth finding a large hill or mountain and throwing it down the side, as the steep face should help the ball keep momentum and get you the required bounces. Stage 1: Gain 50 shield from Mushrooms [1 Battle Star] It’s time to test your gathering skills, as players will need to be on the lookout for mushrooms and shield potions to complete this task. Players will first need to get 50 shield points from Mushrooms, then 100 from Small Shield Potions and 100 from their larger counterparts to get the Battle Stars. Because this is a staged challenge, they need to be completed in a specific order, so you’ll have to be on the hunt for mushrooms first before you can move forward. Stage 1: Gain 50 Shield from Mushrooms – 1 Battle Star Stage 2: Gain 100 Shield from Small Shield Potions – 2 Battle Stars – Stage 3: Gain 100 Shield from Shield Potions – 2 Battle Stars – – Use a Volcano Vent, a Zipline and a vehicle in the same match [10 Battle Stars] There’s no order to completing this challenge, but it might be worth heading to the Volcano first, as this is where you will find a large number of Vents, while there are also a number of Ziplines around the area which means you can mark those two off the list quickly. There is no specification as to what vehicle you have to use for the final part of the task, so players can use The Baller, Driftboards or Quadcrashers. Eliminate three opponents at Pirate Camps [10 Battle Stars] For the first time since Week 1, players are heading back to the Pirate Camps that are littered across the island. Players will need to take down three enemies at these locations, and if you’re struggling to find one, we have a handy guide that will show you where you need to go. The Fortnite Season 8 Week 5 challenges are set to go live later today, and we’ll be sure to update this post with any new information as it is released by Epic Games. Complete a lap of the Race Track in Happy Hamlet [10 Battle Stars] Fortnite fans will need to head to Happy Hamlet and get their hands on a vehicle to complete this challenge. Once you find one, head north-west of the snowy town and you’ll come across the race track, which is marked out by yellow and white barriers.

Once you’ve finished all seven of the challenges for Week 2, you can head over to our helpful guide that shows you how to find the secret Forntite hidden Banner for Week 2, Season 8. Deal damage to descending Supply Drops [5] The first challenge of the week is relatively simple, as players are required to deal damage to a Supply Drop which is descending towards the ground. If you see a Supply Drop in the sky, grab a weapon and start firing at it, although we don’t know how much damage you will have to deal just yet. Stage 1: Land at The Block [5] The second staged challenge of the week, players will visit a number of different locations on the map, as this challenge requires players to land at five different named areas on the map, including The Block, Dusty Divot, Polar Peak, Snobby Shores and Paradise Palms. This challenge must be completed in order, so players will need to visit The Block before the can progress to the next location. Deal damage to opponents with a Pirate Cannon Another straightforward challenge, players will need to get their hands on a Pirate Cannon and take aim at opponents. The easiest way to complete this is by firing cannonballs at enemy players, and we’ve put together a handy map that shows where you can get your hands on the Cannons you need to complete this challenge. Eliminations at Salty Springs or Haunted Hills [10] Again, another easy challenge. Players will need to eliminate players while visiting either Salty Springs or Haunted Hills, although we currently don’t know how many eliminations you need to complete this challenge. Search a Chest in different named locations in a single match [10] Rather straightforward, players will need to open Chests in named locations such as Pleasant Park or Tilted Towers within a single match. How many chests players need to complete this is currently unknown. Stage 1: Gain Health from Apples [1] Players will need to find and consume one of Fortnite’s Apples to complete the first stage of this challenge. Apples can be found scattered around the map on the ground, and grant five health points to players. If you see one on the ground, quickly build a ramp and jump off it so that you receive some fall damage, eat the Apple and the stage is complete. The second stage of this challenge requires players to use a Medkit, which players can find around the map as floor loot, or in Chests and Supply Drops. Stage 1: Gain 25 health from Apples [1] – Stage 2: Gain health from using Med Kits [1] – Stage 3: Gain ? from ? [1] – Visit the furthest North, South, East and West points of the island Fairly simple but requiring more travel, players will need to visit the furthest North, South, East and West points of the island, although thankfully, you don’t need to do all four in one game. If you’re struggling to figure out where you need to go, we’ve created a handy map that shows each point on the map.

Players don’t need to get all three eliminations in one match, so don’t worry if you can’t find all the weapons you need to complete the challenge. Search chests at Sunny Steps or Fatal Fields [5] Fairly self-explanatory, players will need to head to Fatal Fields in the south of the map or Sunny Steps which sits to the east of the large volcano and open seven chests to complete this challenge. Deal headhsot damage to opponents [10] A challenge that will test your aim, players will have to deal 500 damage points to enemy players, but only by hitting headshots. Stage 1: Destroy cacti in the desert [1] Another simple one, Fortnite players will need to head to the desert area in the southwest corner of the map and start destroying the cacti that are littered around the sandy wasteland. Once you’ve destroyed 30 of them, you’ll be rewarded with your Battle Stars. Search where the magnifying glass sits on the Treasure Map loading screen [5] Fortnite fans will have to use their powers of deduction to complete this challenge, as they’ll need to find the location on the Fortnite map that is covered on the Treasure Map loading screen. Players are looking for a circle of trees just south of Polar Peake, and should be able to interact with the Battle Star once they land there. Place different trap slot items in a single match [10] Fairly straightforward again, Fortnite players simply need to place different traps around the Fortnite map in a single match. Players need to place 2 to earn the reward is currently unknown, and can put down Spike Traps, Campfires or Mounted Turrets to complete this challenge. Stage 1: Visit Fatal Fields and Salty Springs in a single match [1] Fortnite fans will have to travel far and wide to complete this challenge, as they are required to visit a number of Fortnite’s most popular locations. This challenge is split into three stages, meaning players may want to use some of the game’s vehicles such as the Driftboard or The Baller to quickly hit these areas. Stage 1: Visit Fatal Fields and Salty Springs in a single match – Stage 2: Visit Haunted Hills and Tilted Towers in a single match – Stage 3: Visit Frosty Flights and Loot Lake in a single match – This post will continue to be updated with new guides and information on the Fortnite Season 8 Week 3 challenges. Make sure to follow @Dexerto on Twitter for all the latest Fortnite news.

Fortnite Season 8 Week 1 Challenges and how to complete them Fortnite Season 8 has only just begun, but there’s no time to waste, as the week one challenges are already live – with lots of battle pass stars on offer. Just like previous season’s, there are three challenges available to everyone, and a further four challenges that can only be completed by Season 8 battle pass owners. What’s different though, is that the challenges hub in Fortnite has had a complete overhaul, making everything much more clear. To kick off week one, there are lots of challenges which tie in with the changes to the map in Season 8. With a volcano, and two new named areas (Lazy Lagoon and Sunny Steps), there’s a lot to do and see. The first set of challenges are live now in-game and you can see them all below. Visit All Pirate Camps Check out this full map with every location of the Pirate Camps in Fortnite. Visit a giant face in the desert, the jungle, and the snowThings get a bit trickier with the first of the battle pass challenges – but we have a full guide for this challenge here. Use a Volcano Vent in different matches Unsurprisingly, you can find plenty of these Volcano Vent’s near the Volcano at Wailing Woods (or what used to be Wailing Woods). Get an elimination with a Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Explosive weapon Similar to the staged challenge, you simply need to be on the lookout for these types of weapons. Deal Damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent This final challenge seems easy enough, but with planes now vaulted in Season 8, your options for enemy driven vehicles are somewhat more limited.

Fortnite Season 8: Is a Volcano set to erupt and damage map? Season 8 of Fortnite is on the horizon and with Epic Games dropping teasers ahead of its launch, there’s a huge indication that a volcano could soon erupt. This would mean a huge change to the Battle Royale map, but with increased pressure from Apex Legends and calls for the landscape to change in order to freshen things up, it’s all very possible. Several hints have been released so far and while some point in the direction of a possible pirate theme, but some fans think they can spot a volcano in the third teaser. This is not the first time that Fortnite players have presumed that a volcano would be added to the game, as they did the same back in Season 6 (which turned out to be a Cube event), but here they might have a slightly more legitimate claim for that idea to finally come to fruition. Reddit user gotjabbed has flipped the third teaser and added it to the other two which have been released, as seen below, forming what looks like a volcano-style graphic at the bottom. Another indication that Fortnite is about to be hit by a huge volcano eruption can be seen in a tweet from Epic on the game’s official Twitter account. “Awaken beasts of fire and ash. Battle it out and loot the stash,” they tweeted, along with the third teaser. Whether or not the Fortnite map will soon be damaged by an eruption of molten lava is unclear, but it’s definitely being damaged heavily by an earthquake. Thankfully, we only have to wait two more days until Season 8 to find out for sure.

Fortnite Season 8: is Wailing Woods going to be replaced by a Jungle? Fortnite players are gearing up for the start of Season 8, with big changes to almost every aspect of the game – and fans have already began theorizing what could be on the horizon. We already know that an earthquake is set to take place on the map – as indicated by the large cracks in the surface which have started to appear – but what damage will it inflict? Some have predicted that Tilted Towers will meet its demise, at least partially, but a new fan theory suggests that it will be ‘Wailing Woods’ which suffers the worst. This theory is actually based on the secret lab, added under Wailing Woods in Season 8, and this fan, u/SonOfGarry, reckons the earthquake might actually originate from this location. Taking inspiration from Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, the same technology which was used to create rifts, will cause the earthquake. My theory is that the former owners of Dusty and Anarchy run the lab, and are researching rifts and their space-time altering properties. Likely, they are hoping to reverse time back to stop the meteor crash, The motivation doesn’t really matter, I’m just trying to state that this lab is going after something bigger than just short range portals. Now where do the earthquakes fit in? Well, have you seen the movie Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse? If you haven’t, spoiler warning! Throughout the movie, the villain Kingpin’s main plot device is a powerful particle collider capable of opening holes between dimensions. The device is so powerful, that it ends up causing seismic activity when activated, shaking the ground beneath the city. So, in theory, the lab at wailing has developed in secret a much larger rift generator, which is causing the earthquakes. So, what will the earthquake do? This fan reckons an entirely new biome will replace Wailing Woods, possibly impacting Lonely Lodge too. What will happen exactly is hard to say, but likely it’ll be similar to the events of Season 5, with an entire new biome dropped into the area, replacing the woods and possibly other surrounding areas including Lonely and crates. What do you think could end up in this area? My money’s on a jungle, but other theories such as a volcanic or aquatic landscape are possible too. Fortnite Season 8 is expected to start on February 28, and fans will just have to wait and see if their theories come true.

Fortnite Season 8: Third teaser all but confirms Dragon rumors The third and presumably penultimate teaser for Fortnite Season 8 has been unveiled by Epic Games, and it has finally provided some answers as to the overall theme of the upcoming season. The first teaser was particularly ambiguous, leaving a lot to the imagination, but fans did glean that some sort of pirate theme might be on the way. Things were cleared up slightly when the second teaser dropped, with a snake clearly visible – although how this ties into the overall theme is unclear. The two teasers also appeared to be from the same image: When does Fortnite Season 8 begin? Earthquake rumors, Season 7 end date, pirate teasersStill obscure, it appears a dragon is visible on the left hand side – possibly from the mysterious eggs that were buried under the castle at Polar Peak. Fortnite’s Tweet doesn’t make explicit mention of a ‘dragon’, instead referring to it as a ‘beast of fire and ash’, with a short poem reading: Awaken beasts Of fire and ash Battle it out And loot the stash. Awaken beasts Of fire and ash Battle it out And loot the stash. 2 days to Season 8. pic.twitter.com/rdMrhYbZ1S— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) February 26, 2019 The eggs that were buried in the castle at Polar Peak mysteriously disappeared during the second-to-last week of Season 7, and players have been curious as to their purpose since. Surely this latest teaser confirms all the speculation? One more teaser is expected to drop on February 27, before Season 8 finally begins on February 28.

Fortnite Season 8 update: v8.00 patch notes, Battle Pass, Pirate Cannon, Volcano, vaulted weapons and items Season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale is finally upon as and the v8.00 patch went live today, February 28, on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and mobile. In this article you’ll find everything you need to know about the all-new season, including the patch notes. “Ahoy, mateys!” the Fortnite developers said on Wednesday, February 27. “Season 8 approaches and X marks the spot! Downtime begins tomorrow, February 28 at 4 AM ET (0900 UTC).” For many fans, this Twitter post was more than enough to confirm the pirate theme that had been hinted at in the Season 8 teasers ahead of the official release. If you were one of those fans, you can give yourself a pat on the back. What’s new? Pirate Theme. As mentioned above, it seemed all but confirmed that a pirate theme would feature heavily throughout Season 8. Whether this would simply involve some cool new skins or actually include the ability for players to take to the ocean was uncertain, though. Once the patch notes went live on February 28, some of the questions were answered. However, we’ll need to wait until the v8.00 downtime ends before we can find out more. Pirate Cannon Push the Cannon into position, take aim, and fire! Alternatively, climb into the barrel and launch yourself! – The cannon will fire cannonballs or players a great distance. Cannonballs and players can plow through a number of objects before stopping with a bang, causing damage and knockback to nearby players. – Deals 100 Damage to enemies on a direct hit and 50 Damage to enemies within a small radius. – Found throughout the environment. – Season 8 map changes A number of leaks heading into Season 8 hinted that the ongoing earthquakes would result in a volcano erupting and changing the face of the map forever. The fourth and final teaser image for the new season, which was released on February 27, also appeared to confirm that this would happen. On top of this, the trees in Wailing Woods had been rotting for a number of days as Season 8 approached, so many fans were convinced that the location would be changed once the v8.00 patch goes live. Changes from the patch notes are as follows: New Locations Explore new points of interest that emerged with the Volcano, such as Sunny Steps and Lazy Lagoon. Added Lava Lava will deal 1 damage per touch and will cause players to bounce off the surface. Watch out! – – Added Volcanic Vents Volcanic Vents will boost players and vehicles into the sky in a gust of hot air! – – Check out our Fortnite Season 8 map changes article for a full gallery of the new locations and a sneak peek at the overhead view. Season 8 Battle Pass We already had an idea of what some of the Battle Pass skins would look like thanks to a leak from the Xbox dashboard! Unfortunately, they didn’t give away a great deal more than we already knew from the pre-season leaks and teasers, so we had to wait for the patch notes before we found out more. Epic Games released a trailer video for the Season 8 Battle Pass along with the v8.00 patch notes. You can check out the trailer below or go to our Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass article for more details. Season 8 skins and cosmetics Data miners started picking their way through the v8.00 patch files from the moment they were released – as a result, a number of upcoming skins and cosmetics have already been leaked. You can check out every leaked Fortnite Season 8 leaked skin and cosmetic item here. X-4 Stormwing Planes and vaulted weapons One of the most controversial additions to the game for Season 7 was the X-4 Stormwing. The Fortnite developers nerfed it a number of times throughout the season, but could never find a sweet spot where players were happy with it. With this in mind, they confirmed that the X-4 would be vaulted when Season 8 began. That’s not all, though, as a number of hints from the developers suggested that items and weapons that have been vaulted in past seasons could make a glorious return for the start of Season 8. Here’s a full list of vaulted weapons and items for the v8.00 patch: Sneaky Snowman – Chiller Grenade – X-4 Stormwing – Shopping Cart – All Terrain Kart – Fortnite v8.00 Patch Notes The rest of the February 28 Fortnite Battle Royale patch notes that have not been discussed above are as follows: WEAPONS + ITEMS Updated Hunting Rifle Icon – Reduced the availability of high tier Assault Rifles Total number of Assault Rifles available remains unchanged Increased chance of receiving a Common quality assault rifle from 48.56% to 56.30% – Increased chance of receiving an Uncommon quality assault rifle from 26.83% to 28.15% – Reduced the chance of receiving a Rare quality assault rifle from 16.17% to 10.91% – Reduced the chance of receiving an Epic quality assault rifle from 7.02% to 3.52% – – Reduced the chance of receiving a Legendary quality assault rifle from 1.82% to 1.13% – – Total number of Assault Rifles available remains unchanged – Bug Fixes Supply Drops now properly appear on the map. – If the fire button is pressed while the shotgun cooldown is still active after swapping weapons then the shotgun will automatically fire once the cooldown is over. – Fixed Clingers causing damage through walls / floors when stuck to a player. – Fixed players accidentally sticking Remote Explosives onto themselves after applying a Consumable Bush. – Fixed Legendary/Epic Pump Shotgun pellet tracers and muzzle flash sometimes not replicating to other clients. – Fixed an issue where players couldn’t use Auto-Run while using a Hoverboard with a gamepad. – Fixed items occasionally being invisible to some players. – GAMEPLAY Party Assist Added Prior to a match, enable Party Assist on a Daily or Weekly challenge to complete it with the assistance of everyone in your party. – Party members are able to provide progress to the selected challenge in addition to yourself. – This functionality excludes “fill” players who are added into the party during matchmaking or teammates from large team modes such as Team Rumble. – – Increased Infinite Dab duration from 11 hours to 12 hours in the lobby. – Cozy Campfire now glows while active when viewed through a Thermal Scope. – Starting in Season 8, daily quests will be automatically claimed once they’ve been completed.

Fortnite Season 8 teaser images contain more clues than you might expect Epic GamesEpic Games have begun teasing showing what appeared to be a pirate hook on a red background. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly saw through the original image and realized it was part of a bigger overall puzzle. Combined with hints about hidden treasure, ‘X’ marks the spot and bananas – many fans have made the assumption that Season 8 will have some sort of Pirate theme to it. That belief only grew with the release of the second teaser. In the second teaser, released on February 25, fans were able to make out a snake-like shadow opposite the hook in the image – revealing a front-on facing image that makes out the shape of a skull. Read More: When does Fortnite Season 8 begin? Earthquake rumors, Season 7 end date, teasers and more – While the full image is not yet clear, further teases from Epic are sure to combine for an even bigger image. However, there may be even more surprises hidden behind teases from Epic and their employees – as they continue to hint at what more is to come. Fortnite’s worldwide creative director, Donald Mustard, quote-tweeted the new teaser with an egg emoji as his reaction – seemingly hinting at the eggs which had been discovered under the Castle at Polar Peak in Season 7. Many fans initially speculated that the eggs would, in some way, be related to Dragons but that was never confirmed. Mustard also changed his Twitter location to ‘Wailing Woods,’ prompting further speculation about a possible event in the area – even though it has already begun decaying. Season 8 kicks off on Thursday, February 28 but until then, keep your eyes locked to Dexerto for all the Fortnite breaking news and updates.

Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin: Who is the Cube Queen & when does it unlock? Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 has an original Secret Skin coming soon to the Battle Pass, but their identity is being kept top-secret until it unlocks – here’s everything we know so far. Every season, Epic Games include a mystery skin in the Battle Pass to keep players on their toes. These skins usually arrive halfway through a season and come with a set of challenges that need to be completed before they can be unlocked. After the high-profile Superman Secret Skin in Season 7 – which wasn’t much of a secret at all, as it was unveiled as soon as the season began – it seems Epic is going back to actual mysteries in Season 8 with an original character that’s being kept under wraps. Below, we’re going to round up everything we know about the upcoming Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin so far, including the release date and rumors about who it will be. Who is the Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin? Although the Secret Skin is currently just a silhouette in the Battle Pass menu, leaks have suggested that it will be a new villain called The Cube Queen, and she appears to have links to the Cubes that are taking over the island this season. According to leaker HYPEX, the Cube Queen will come with Dark and Vibrant edit styles, and will also have a new type of glider known as ‘stairs’ which makes your character look like they’re running down a set of stairs instead of gliding. The new stairs glider type is planned to be used for the Cube Queen’s Glider! Also the Cube Queen is planned to have a Dark & Vibrant edit styles! pic.twitter.com/K7j0UsMwb5 — HYPEX (@HYPEX) October 12, 2021 Longtime Fortnite fans will likely remember the Storm King, a huge boss fight described as “the true embodiment of the Cube”. It will be interesting to see if The Cube Queen has anything to do with the Storm King when it arrives. When is the Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin out? The Secret Skin in Fortnite Season 8’s Battle Pass is currently scheduled for release on Thursday, October 28, 2021. This is when the in-game countdown timer ends, so there shouldn’t be any delays. There’s no confirmed time for the Secret Skin release right now, but new content usually goes live in Fortnite around 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST. How to unlock the Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin? As the Secret Skin hasn’t been unveiled yet, we don’t know exactly how it will be unlocked. It seems likely that players will need to complete a set of challenges or meet certain requirements before they’ll get access to it, though. There are two pages in the Secret Skin section of the Battle Pass, with a total of 10 rewards on offer. These might need to be purchased with Battle Stars once unlocked, or they could be an instant reward for completing challenges. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as Epic announces details of how to unlock the Fortnite Season 8 Secret Skin, so make sure you check back soon for the latest information.

Fortnite Season 8 potentially inspired by fan-made Pirate concept Reddit: ReadItFamOne – teasing a potential Pirate theme for the season with hints such as ‘X’ marks the spot and references towards bananas. While fans quickly got to work with theories of their own, one fan may have been ahead of the curve and guessed the direction in which Epic was headed with the new season – nearly a full year ago. Reddit user ReadItFam posted their idea for a ‘Pirate Paradise’ area of the battle royale map to the FortniteBR subreddit back on June 12 – receiving plenty of appreciation from other fans who viewed the post and the ideas behind it. Read More: When does Fortnite Season 8 begin? Earthquake rumors, Season 7 end date, teasers and more – The concept, which would have taken up the Flush Factory portion of the map – which eventually turned into the Arctic area for Season 7 – had a fully fledged beach cove feel, with Pirate Ships being parked up on the shore for added visual effect. While the name ‘Pirate Paradise’ was up for discussion, other fans gave suggestions like ‘Bucco Bay’ and ‘Booty Beach,’ giving the concept a closer name to what it would likely be if introduced to the game. It remains to be seen if Epic will follow suit with a similar sort of idea to the initial concept or if they have since come up with grander plans of their own for a huge map overhaul.

Fortnite Season 8: Release time announced for v8.00 update – what to expect Epic Games have announced the release date and time for the v8.00 update in Fortnite Battle Royale, which will kick off the highly anticipated Season 8. With the seventh season of Fortnite coming to a close, seemingly the entirety of the vast player-base is holding its collective breath in anticipation of the mysteries and changes that await in Season 8. With the new season less than a day away from going live, here is everything we know so far about the next major update. When does Season 8 go live? Season 8 will be going live when the v8.00 release in Fortnite, which is set to take place on February 28 at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM GMT, with the matchmaking disabled likely 20-25 minutes prior. Epic have announced that the size of the patch will be larger than normal updates, so the downtime is expected to be pretty long. Ahoy, mateys! Season 8 approaches and X marks the spot! Downtime begins tomorrow, February 28 at 4 AM ET (0900 UTC). — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) February 27, 2019 Confirmed additions and changes While players do have to wait until the downtime for the v8.00 patch notes to be released, there has been a lot of information that’s already been confirmed about Season 8. The tweet above strongly suggest that there will be some sort of pirate theme in Season 8, while the teasers that have been released over the past few days point to a lot of other possibilities as well. The teasers for Season 8 have raised more questions than they’ve answered. One of the major changes will be the removal of the X-4 Stormwing planes from the default core modes, as they will be going into the vault right from the get-go. However, the Driftboard vehicle will not suffer the same fate as Epic plan on keeping the new vehicle for the time being. The highly controversial X-4 Stormwing planes will be vaulted at the start of Season 8. Epic have also announced that there will be several major audio improvements implemented as part of the v8.00 update. The full list of these changes can be seen below: What else can we expect? While there isn’t too much else confirmed about Season 8, there are a lot of things that players can expect to be added or changed at the start. With in-game earthquakes rumbling stronger and stronger over the past few weeks, all eyes will be on the map as there are sure to be some major changes made to it. Many are speculating that Tilted Towers will be severely damaged, along with other locations on the map, while the rotting trees and vegetation in Wailing Woods suggests that the location could be on its way out. The brand new building in Tilted Towers has already been destroyed again. There is also strong speculation, sparked by apparent leaks, that a new location named Sharky Shrubs will be added, which would certainly fit in with the whole pirate theme. Speaking of the pirates, many are also theorizing that new themed weapons, items, and vehicles will be added to the game’s core modes, such as ships, cannonballs, and more. Players should also expect a flurry of new cosmetic items to come their way in Season 8, many of which will likely be found and leaked by data miners shortly after the update goes live, so make sure to stay tuned for that. Make sure to follow us on Twitter @Dexerto and keep an eye on the Dexerto Fortnite page as we will post the full patch notes, breakdown of all map major changes, any and all leaked content, and anything else having to do with Season 8 in Fortnite!

Fortnite Season 8 could bring back a number of vaulted weapons Fortnite Season 8 is just a couple of days away, and speculation is running rampant regarding what we may see when it finally launches, including a theory that would see previously vaulted items and weapons reappear in the game. Epic Games have begun to release teaser images for the new season, as the hype builds among Fortnite fans who are already excited at the prospect of the massive update. While the teasers give away very little in terms of what we may see in Season 8, popular Fortnite streamer Nick Eh 30 believes he may have spotted a clue in the first teaser that means we may see some of Fortnite’s weapons exit the game’s vault and return to the Fortnite island. Included with the first teaser for Fortnite Season 8 was text, which read: “Loot that has been lost can always be found,” leading many to believe it was related to the pirate theme that many think will be part of the makeup of Season 8. The streamer saw it differently though, stating that he believed it actually referred to a new location on the map that would see the weapons and items that have previously been removed from the game reappear. “Translation,” tweeted Nick Eh 30. “In a certain area of the map, we’re bringing back all the weapons and items that we’ve vaulted in the history of Fortnite.” “Loot that was lost can always be found”. Translation: In a certain area of the map, we’re bringing back all the weapons/items we’ve vaulted in the history of Fortnite. https://t.co/utqLvDHpOI — Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh30) February 24, 2019 While this may sound like a nice idea, it would definitely cause immediate backlash among members of the Fortnite community, who would be immediately frustrated to see the return of items that have been considered overpowered such as the Guided Missile or the Boom Box. Whether this will actually be the case remains to be seen, but Fortnite fans will find out for sure on Thursday, February 28 when Season 8 launches.

Fortnite Season 8: Leaked skins and cosmetics from v8.00 patch With the update for Fortnite Season 8 now live, data miners have been busy digging through the game files to find whatever they can – including a host of new skins, backbling, gliders and more. The excitement for a new season is not just about the map and gameplay changes, but also about the cosmetic content too – Fortnite players always want to be rocking the latest skins. While many skins are revealed as part of the Battle Pass, there are more skins which are expected to be added to the item shop over the course of Season 8, and leakers have found them in the game files already. Here are all the leaked skins and cosmetics so far (via @FNBRHQ and @TrixBR) – we will update this post as more became available. Fortnite Season 8 Leaked Skins Fortnite Season 8 Leaked Pickaxes Some new themed pickaxes have also been leaked, to go with the new Season 8 locations and skins. 500 Updating…

Fortnite Season 7 loading screens leaked Fortnite players could be a step ahead in their search of a hidden items in Season 7, as loading screens which you are supposed to unlock by completing weekly challenges have been leaked already. In an exciting start to the new season, Epic Games has revamped the Fortnite with a snow biome being added to the game as well as many other features. Beneath all of that snow or perhaps on another part of the map could be a hidden item and some of these loading screens – which were leaked by @lucas7yoshi_ on Twitter – could point you in the right direction to find it. It is still unclear, though, whether all of these loading screens are related to Snowfall Challenges or just simply Battle Pass Exclusive content. We await official confirmation on that. Some of these loading screens will only be unlocked in the game when you have completed every one of the weekly challenges. Then, they will reveal a clue about where the hidden item can be found for that week. Last season, the hidden item was a Battle Star and a Banner, but whether that stays the same remains to be seen with this update. Fortnite Season 7 is now live and available to play, bringing a whole host of new features for fans to explore. These include a new snow biome with icy locations such as Frosty Flights, Happy Hamlet and Polar Peak. Read More: What are Wraps in Fortnite? – As is the case with season switch-ups for Fortnite, some of the game’s items have been vaulted by this new update to make way for new features in the game. Epic Games has added a new weapon option called ‘Wraps’, to increase customization for players of the popular battle royale game.

Fortnite Season 7 Week 9 challenges and how to complete them – Sneaky Snowman, Golden Balloons, Time Trials The Fortnite Battle Royale challenges for Week 9 of Season 7 officially went live on PC, PS4, Xbox One and every other platform on January 31. Here’s everything you need to know. The Week 9 challenges were originally leaked by the well-known Fortnite data mining source FNBRHQ, the same source that leaked most of the upcoming skins and cosmetics found in Fortnite’s v7.30 patch files. It would appear that the leaks were just as accurate as we’ve become accustomed to, as the official list looks almost identical to the leaks. The only change is the order in which the challenges are listed and which ones are exclusive to owners of the Battle Pass. On the whole, the Week 8 challenges for Fortnite were pretty simple and vanilla, but the Week 9 tasks promised a much more interesting and diverse list of quests from the moment they were leaked. The official list delivered on that promise when it was released on Thursday at 14:00 GMT (09:00 EST, 06:00 PST), offering players a range of challenges from shotgun eliminations to time trials. You can find the full list of Season 7, Week 9 challenges below: Free Pass Challenges Use a Sneaky Snowman in different matches (3) – Land at: 1. Retail Row 2. Frosty Flight 3. Haunted Hills 4. Shifty Shafts 5. Dusty Divot – Eliminate opponents at Junk Junction or Retail Row (3) (HARD) – Battle Pass Challenges Pop Golden Balloons (10) – Stage 1: Dance on top of a sundial Stage 2: Dance on top of an oversized cup of coffee Stage 3: Dance on top of a giant metal dog head – Shotgun Eliminations (3) (HARD) – Complete three times trials with the X-4 Stormwing Plane (2) (HARD) – As we mentioned above, the challenges look like they will be pretty interesting. There are two ‘stage’ challenges and Golden Balloon popping could prove difficult depending on the number of them that are added to the map. Read More: Fortnite v7.30 patch notes: Chiller Grenade added, Bolt-action Sniper and other weapons vaulted – It’s always possible that the Fortnite developers will make changes to one or two of the challenges by the time they go live but that wasn’t the case this week. Here are some quick guides to help you out: How to complete the Season 7, Week 9 Fortnite challenges Week 8 Snowfall challenge The bonus Snowfall challenge returns once again for Week 9 of Season 7. This week, you’ll be looking for a secret Battle Star using the hint in the Week 9 Snowfall challenge loading screen. Once you’ve completed all seven of the standard challenges for the week, check out our step-by-step guide on how to find the secret Fortnite Battle Star for Week 9 of Season 7. Use a Sneaky Snowman in different matches Sneaky Snowmen were added to the game on January 22 as part of the v7.20 update. The item can be used in two different ways and both will count towards this challenge. Option 1: Use your primary fire button to throw a projectile that ‘creates a destructible snowman’. Option 2: Use your secondary fire option and wear the Sneaky Snowman like you would wear the Bush. Make sure you use a Snowman in a total of three different matches to complete this challenge. Stage 1: Land at Retail Row The second of the stage challenges for Week 9 looks to be fairly simple – land at each named location and work through the stages. We’re expecting five stages in total and you’ll asked to complete them in this order: Land at Retail Row – Land at Frosty Flights – Land at Haunted Hills – Land at Shift Shafts – Land at Dusty Divot – Eliminate opponents at Junk Junction Or Retail Row The number of opponents you’ll need to eliminate in order to complete this challenge is three, but you can use both locations or stick to just the one. Your best bet for elimination challenges like this is to concentrate on getting some good loot and then concentrating on picking up the kills. Pop Golden Balloons To complete this challenge, you’ll simply need to pop a total of 10 Golden Balloons. However, finding them could prove difficult. Check out our full guide and map with all of the known Golden Balloon locations if you’re struggling. Stage 1: Dance on top of a sundial The first of the Week 9 stage challenges asks you to dance on top of different locations or points of interest on the map. We’re expecting three stages in total and you’ll need to complete them in this order: Dance on top of a sundial – Dance on top of an oversized cup of coffee – Dance on top of a giant metal dog head – Once you land on the locations described, simply use a dance emote from your emote wheel. If you’re struggling with the locations, check out our in-depth guide with locations for the dancing challenge. Shotgun Eliminations This is a pretty straightforward challenge – simply eliminate a total of three players with any form of shotgun. You don’t need to kill all three in one match, so completing the challenge over the course of the week shouldn’t be too difficult. If you’re hoping to use the Heavy Shotgun, you’re out of luck as it was vaulted alongside THREE other weapons in the v7.30 patch. Complete three times trials with the X-4 Stormwing Plane In the past, time trials have been some of the most enjoyable and difficult challenges in Fortnite. We’re expecting that trend to continue with this Stormwing challenge, especially when you consider how many opponents will be desperate to shoot you out of the sky! If you’re struggling, check out our Stormwing time trial guide for a detailed walk through. As always, you can keep up with all the latest Fortnite news, leaks and gossip by following @Dexerto on Twitter.

Fortnite Season 7: What’s included in the Battle Pass? Skins, Cosmetics, Trailer and more The Fortnite season 7 Battle Pass trailer has been officially released by Epic Games ahead of the start of the new season – Here’s everything you need to know! Thursday, December 6, marked the release of the v7.00 patch notes and the beginning of Season 7. Along with numerous map changes and an awesome winter theme, we’ve also got a brand new Battle Pass to sink our teeth into. As is always the case, the Battle Pass comes with 100 tiers that are associated with various cosmetic rewards and more as they are unlocked. The skins that are unlocked immediately after purchasing the Battle Pass will be progressive and are called ‘Zenith’ and ‘Lynx’. Epic Games announces Explorer Pop-Up Cup set to begin with Season 7There will also be all-new ‘wraps’. You can use these on weapons and vehicles like the Quadcrasher, meaning that you’ll be able to put a personal touch on them whenever you want to use them. Here’s all the skins available in the Season 7 battle pass: The trailer goes into more detail about the new Creative mode confirms that planes will be available in that mode at the very least! The trailer also shows off areas of the map now covered in snow, so it looks like Season 7 will be just as wintery as expected – with frozen over water areas too. The battle pass will cost 950 V-Bucks, with the battle bundle presumably costing a bit more. You will also get access to Fortnite Creative seven days early.

Fortnite Season 7 Week 8 challenges and how to complete them Week 8 of Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale is upon us and the Week 8 challenges went live on Thursday, January 24, on PC, PS4, Xbox One and all other platforms. Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s challenges and how to complete them. Week 8 will once again challenge players to complete a total of seven challenges. Three of these are be free-to-play and the remaining four are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 8 challenges only went live at 14:00 GMT (09:00 EST, 06:00 PST) but a number of leaks from data miners had given us a pretty good idea of what to expect ahead of time. If the leaks proved to be fairly accurate, and the Week 8 challenges could well be some of the easiest we’ve seen all season. The developers of Fortnite, Epic Games, have been known to switch or edit some challenges by the time they go live in the past, so we were half expecting some of the leaks to not make the final cut. However, the only changes were to the wording and order of a few: As we mentioned above, the leaked challenges look like they will be pretty straightforward. There is only one ‘stage’ challenge, which is unusual in recent weeks and months. On the plus side, the treasure hunt for a Battle Star has returned. As we said, there are a few changes in wording and order, so the official list of challenges for Week 8, Season 7 of Fortnite Battle Royale is now as follows: Free Challenges Place a Cozy Campfire or a Launch Pad in different matches – Build Structures (250) – Search between a mysterious hatch, a giant rock lady and a precarious flatbed (HARD) (1) – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Visit Paradise Palms and Salty Springs in a single match (1) Stage 2: Visit Junk Junction and Loot Lake in a single match (1) Stage 3: Visit Haunted Hills and Wailing Woods in a single match (1) – Search chests at Shifty Shafts or Lonely Lodge (7) – Deal damage to opponents whilst riding on a vehicle (100) – Explosive Weapon Eliminations (HARD) (3) – How to complete the Season 7, Week 8 Fortnite challenges Week 8 Snowfall challenge The ongoing Snowfall challenge is back for Week 8 of Season 7. This week, you’ll be looking for a hidden Banner rather than a secret Battle Star. Once you’ve completed all seven of the standard challenges for the week, check out our step-by-step guide on how to find the secret Fortnite Banner for Week 8, Season 7. Place a Cozy Campfire or a Launch Pad in different matches Potentially the easiest challenge in history, it looks like all you need to do to complete this one is place a Cozy Campfire or a Launch Pad in three different matches. It shouldn’t be difficult in the slightest to complete this before the end of the week, just use either item as soon as you find one if you’re in any kind of hurry. Build Structures We’ll be pretty surprised if this challenge ends up being included without any changes. If it DOES remain the same, just farm up materials and build walls, stairs and more like you would in any normal game of Fortnite. Once you’ve placed a total of 250 structures, the task will be complete. Search between a mysterious hatch, a giant rock lady, and a precarious flatbed One of the classic Fortnite challenges, searching for a hidden Battle Star using cryptic clues, finally returns for Week 8 of Season 7. If you’re struggling, check out our ‘Search between a mysterious hatch, a giant rock lady and a precarious flatbed’ location and challenge guide for a full walk through. Stage 1: Visit Paradise Palms and Salty Springs in a single match The only reported stage challenge for Week 8 will involve visiting two different locations in match. We’re expecting three stages in total and you’ll need to complete them in this order: Visit Paradise Palms and Salty Springs in a single match – Visit Junk Junction and Loot Lake in a single match – Visit Haunted Hills and Wailing Woods in a single match – Search chests at Shifty Shafts or Lonely Lodge This is another straightforward challenge, you just need to open a total of seven chests in Lonely Lodge and Shifty Shafts. As always, you can open all seven in one location or split them between the two. If you’re in a hurry, land at one of the locations straight away. You’re almost guaranteed to find one or two chests for free each time. Deal damage while riding in a vehicle We initially thought you’d need to play Duos or Squads matches to complete this one as the leaks specified that you had to be a passenger. The finaly wording suggests that this won’t be the case and that riding in a vehicle and dealing out damage is the only requirement. Either way, it’s going to be easier with a teammate: find a suitable vehicle, get your teammate to jump in and drive while you take shots at enemies. You need to deal a total of 100 damage to complete the challenge, but it’s currently uncertain whether this needs to be dealt in one game or not. Eliminate three opponents with an Explosive weapon This is a pretty straightforward challenge – simply eliminate a total of three players with a weapon that falls into the ‘Explosive’ class. You don’t need to kill all three in one match, so completing the challenge over the course of the week shouldn’t be too difficult. We’d advise using a powerful explosive like the Rocket Launcher. The Quad Launcher was vaulted in the v7.20 Content Update on January 22, so don’t expect to find one of those! We’ll be updating this post throughout the day with guides and information on how to complete each and every Week 8 challenge. You can also follow @Dexerto on Twitter for everything Fortnite related.

Fortnite Season 7, Week 7 challenges and how to complete them – Expedition Outposts, X-4 Stormwings and more Week 7 of Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale is already upon us, and the Week 7 challenges finally went live on Thursday, January 17. Here’s everything you need to know about how to complete them. Week 7 once again provides players with a total of seven challenges. Three of these are totally free-to-play and four are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 7 challenges have were leaked by data miners ahead of time, giving us a good idea of what to expect. Now, the Week 7 challenges have been officially revealed by Epic Games and they’re virtually identical to the leaks: Epic Games have been known to switch some challenges out at the last minute in the past, so we were expecting some of the leaks to not make the final cut, or be edited slightly. The Week 7, Season 7 challenges for Fortnite Battle Royale are as follows: Free Challenges Visit all Expedition Outposts – Use a Rift or Rift-to-Go in different matches (3) – Pistol eliminations (3) – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Land at Salty Springs Stage 2: Land at Happy Hamlet – Stage 3: Land at Wailing Woods – Stage 4: Land at Junk Junction – Final Stage: Land at Paradise Palms – – Search Chests in Leaky Lake or Frosty Flights (7) – Destroy flying X-4 Stormwings (1) – Stage 1: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (200) Stage 2: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (300) – Final Stage: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (400) – – As we mentioned above, the challenges look like they will be very straightforward. There are two ‘stage’ challenges and one task that requires you to ‘visit all Expedition Outposts’, but the rest are rather vanilla. If you are struggling, or in a hurry, to get them all complete, here are some quick guides to help you out: Week 7 Snowfall challenge Once you’ve completed all of the standard Week 7, Season 7 challenges, you’ll unlock the bonus ‘Snowfall’ challenge. This week, completing it and collecting the Battle Star will reward you with a free Battle Pass tier. If you’re struggling, you check out our how to find the secret Battle Star for Week 7 of the Snowfall challenge in Fortnite guide. Visit all Expedition Outposts We wouldn’t have been surprised if this didn’t make the cut due to how similar it is to one of the Week 4 challenges. However, we were wrong. You can find all of the Expedition Outpost locations in Fortnite here. Use a Rift or Rift-to-Go in different matches This one’s nice an simple – pick up a Rift-to-Go whenever you get a chance, and use it before being eliminated. You can only use one Rift per match, so you’ll need at least three games to complete this challenge. Alternatively, visit one of the Rifts that have been dotted around the map since Season 5 and use that. Pistol eliminations This is a pretty straightforward challenge – simply eliminate a total of three players with pistols over the course of the week and you’ll have completed it without a problem. If you find pistols difficult to use, try getting an opponent’s health low and then pulling your pistol out for the final points of damage. Given the fact that the all-new Scoped Revolver was added to the game in the v7.20 update, we expected this challenge to make the final cut. Stage 1: Land at Salty Springs The second of this week’s stage challenges will involve landing at various different locations after you jump out of the battle bus. We’re expecting five locations in total and you’ll need to land in this order: Salty Springs – Happy Hamlet – Wailing Woods – Junk Junction – Paradise Palms – Search Chests at Loot Lake or Frosty Flights This is another straightforward challenge, you just need to open a total of seven chests in Loot Lake and Frosty Flights. You can open all seven in one location or split your time between the two. Here are maps for both locations detailing all of the possible spawn points for Chests, although keep in mind that not every Chest will spawn in every match. Destroy flying X-4 Stormwings For this challenge, you’ll need to destroy an X-4 Stormwing plane while it’s flying. That may seem like a tall task, but there is a very easy way to complete this challenge that takes very little time to do. Stage 1: Deal damage to opponents in a single match The first of the stage challenges for Week 7 will ask players to deal 200 damage to opponents in a single match. We’re expecting Stage 2 to ask you to deal 300 damage and the final stage to ask for 400 damage. If you’re struggling to deal out the sort of damage required to complete this challenge, we’d advise you to go into one of the more laid-back LTM lobbies rather than a standard match. We’ll be updating this post throughout the day with guides and information on how to complete each and every Week 7 challenge.

Week 6 Snowfall challenge The Snowfall challenge returns once again for Week 6 of Season 7. This week, you’ll be looking for a hidden Banner instead of a Battle Star. Check out our guide on how to find the secret banner and complete the Week 6 Snowfall challenge if your’re struggling. Search Ammo Boxes in different named locations This one’s nice an simple – just find Ammo Boxes in any named location – Tilted Towers, Retail Row, Paradise Palms etc. In fact, it’s so simple that we expected it to be changed or reworded slightly. That’s not the case, though, so just open a total of seven ammo boxes and you’ll be finished! You can find them just about anywhere Search Chilly Gnomes If you’ve spotted any gnomes dotted around the map recently, this challenge explains why. All you’ll need to do is find seven Chilly Gnomes and interact with them. Once you’re close to one, you’ll hear a giggling sound that should make it easier to pinpoint. If you’re struggling, we’ve put together a guide with all of the known Chilly Gnome locations in Fortnite. Eliminate opponents in Lucky Landing or Tilted Towers All you need to do to complete this challenge is kill a total of three enemy players in either of the locations named. Lucky Landing and Tilted Towers are both popular landing spots, so try to some good loot early and then concentrate on eliminating opponents. You don’t have to get all three eliminations in one match, so this should be rather straightforward. Stage 1: Visit Polar Peak and Tilted Towers in a single match The second of this week’s stage challenges will involve visiting different locations in a single match. There are three stages in total and you’ll need to complete them in this order: Visit Polar Peak and Tilted Towers in a single match – Visit Lucky Landing and Retail Row in a single match – Visit Lazy Links and Shifty Shafts in a single match – Slide an Ice Puck over 150m in a single throw Mini games like this are always fun but this one has a catch. Unless Epic Games have decided to make the Ice Puck free for everyone, you’ll have to unlock it in the Battle Pass before you even begin worrying about throwing it. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to add the Ice Puck to your main emote wheel and throw it. Check out our ‘Slide an Ice Puck over 150m in a single throw’ Fortnite challenge guide for more information. Stage 1: Deal damage with SMGs to opponents The first of the stage challenges for Week 6 will ask players to deal out a total of 200 damage with various types of weapon. After dealing 200 damage with SMGs, the second stage will be to do the same with Assault Rifles and the final stage will be with Grenades, Clingers or Stink Bombs. Of course, Clingers are currently vaulted, but reports suggest that Dynamite will work instead. Deal damage with different weapons in a single match With one challenge already requiring players to deal damage with weapons, we expected this one to be a placeholder that would be changed out for something a bit more interesting when the challenges went live. We were wrong, though. This one is more difficult than it might seem though, you’ll have to survive long enough to hit opponents with five different weapons in order to complete it. We’d advise dropping somewhere with good early game loot but moving on quickly! One point of damage is enough to count for each weapon. We’ll be updating this post throughout the day with guides and information on how to complete each and every Week 6 challenge.

Here’s everything you need to know. Week 5 will once again provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 5 challenges have now gone live and they appear to be identical to the ones that were leaked by data miners earlier in the week! Epic Games have been known to switch some challenges out at the last minute in the past, so we wouldn’t have been surprised to see some changes, but that wasn’t the case. With that said, here’s what you’ll be facing for Week 5: FREE CHALLENGES Deal damage to opponent’s structures (5000) – Stage 1: Dance on top of a Water Tower – Eliminate an opponent from closer than 5m away (3) – BATTLE PASS CHALLENGES: Suppressed weapon eliminations (3) – Search Chests at Wailing Woods or Paradise Palms (7) – Search between a giant rock man, a crowned tomato and an encircled tree (1) – Stage 1: Land at Polar Peak – The challenges look like they will be fairly straightforward, with two ‘stage’ challenges and yet another treasure hunt where you search for a battle star based off a cryptic clue.

Here’s everything you need to know about completing all of this week’s challenges: How to find the secret Fortnite Battle Star for the Week 5 Snowfall challenge The Snowfall challenge returns for Week 5 of Season 7.

Stage 1: Dance on top of a Water Tower The first of the stage challenges for Week 5 will ask players to dance on various towers around the map. Stage 2 will ask you to dance on a ‘Ranger Tower’ and Stage 3 will be on an ‘Air Traffic Control Tower’. For locations for of all three stages, visit our in-depth guide here. Eliminate an opponent from closer than 5m away This challenge is appears fairly straightforward, but you might be surprised by just how close five meters is. Shotguns and pickaxes are probably your best bet for this challenge. Suppressed weapon eliminations This one’s nice an simple – pick up three kills with any silenced (suppressed) weapon in the game! If you’re struggling, try to get an opponent’s health low using a weapon you’re more comfortable with, then switch to the suppressed weapon to deal the final blow. Search Chests at Wailing Woods or Paradise Palms This is another straightforward challenge, you just need to open a total of seven chests in Wailing Woods and Paradise Palms. You can open all seven in one location or split your time between the two. As long as you land at one of the locations straight away, you’re almost guaranteed to find one or two chests for free. Search between a giant rock man, a crowned tomato and an encircled tree You’ll be looking for a battle star for this challenge and the information given in the clue should provide you with enough information to narrow down the area. You can find the location and guide for the giant rock man challenge here.

There are five locations in total and you’ll need to land in this order: Polar Peak – Fatal Fields – Tomato Temple – Loot Lake – Snobby Shores – We’ll be updating this post throughout the day with guides and information on how to complete each and every Week 5 challenge.

Fortnite Season 7, Week 3 challenges and how to complete them – Ziplines, ski lodges, doorbells and more The third week of Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale is upon us and the Week 3 challenges went live on Thursday, December 20. Here’s everything you need to know. Week 3 will once again provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 3 challenges have now been revealed and are slightly different to the ones that were leaked by a number of data miners prior to them going live. Epic Games have been known to switch some challenges out at the last minute in the past, so we aren’t surprised to see some changes. With that said, here’s what you’ll be doing this week: The challenges look like they will be fairly straightforward, but there are still some that will have players scratching their heads. If you couldn’t see the image above, here are this week’s challenges: Free Challenges Ride a Zipline in different matches (5) – Stage 1: Land at Lonely Lodge (1) Stage 2: Land at Pleasant Park (1) – Stage 3: Land at Lucky Landing (1) – Stage 4: Land at Lazy Links (1) – – Legendary weapon eliminations (2) – Battle Pass Challenges Search chests at Polar Peak or Tomato Temple (500) – Ring a doorbell in different locations in a single match (3) – Search between three ski lodges (Hard) – Stage 1: Deal damage with shotguns to opponents (200) (Hard) Stage 2: Deal damage with Pistols to opponents (200) – Stage 3: Deal Damage with Sniper Rifles to opponents (200) – – Week 3 Snowfall challenge Battle Star location The ongoing Snowfall challenge for Season 7 returns for Week 3. As always, the clues for completing it will be shown in a loading screen once you’ve completed all of the standard Week 3 challenges. Once you’ve done that, you can use our guide on how to find Week 3’s hidden Battle Star. Collecting it will grant you a free Battle Pass tier, so it’s definitely worth doing! Ride a Zipline in different matches To complete the zipline challenge, all you’ll need to do is ride one in five different matches. Given how many there are all around the map, this should be a fairly simple task. If you are struggling, though, you can take a look at the map below, designed by ‘Zargothrax’ on Reddit, that shows every single known location. Stage 1: Land at Lonely Lodge This challenge is fairly straightforward, but you’ll have to play a few games in order to complete it. Data miners believe that you will need to land at Lonely Lodge, then Pleasant Park, Lucky Landing, Lazy Links and Tilted Towers in that order. We’ll confirm that with you once we’ve completed all of the stages. Legendary weapon eliminations There’s no secret to this challenge – simply kill two opponents using a legendary (gold) weapon of any kind. Search Chests at Polar Peak or Tomato Temple Again, no tricks here! Simply search a total of seven chests in one or both of the named locations. Ring a doorbell in different named locations in a single match With so many doorbells to choose from, all you really need to think about for this challenge is which locations are closest together and easily accessed without being eliminated. Perhaps landing at Snobby Shores and moving towards Retail Row would work well. Search between three ski lodges One of the classic Fortnite challenges, searching for a hidden Battle Star using cryptic clues, finally returns for Week 3 of Season 7. You’ll be heading to the iceberg biome for this particular challenge. You can find a full guide, including the location of the battle star, in our search between three ski lodges guide. Stage 1: Deal damage with shotguns to opponents We’ll get back to you with all three stages once we’ve had a chance to play through this challenge.

Fortnite Season 7, Week 4 challenges and how to complete them – Fireworks, Expedition Outposts and more Week 4 of Season 7 is already here, which means a new set of weekly challenges have just gone live in Fortnite Battle Royale. Week 4, as with previous weeks, provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 4 challenges have now gone live in game, and vary slightly to those that were leaked previously. Here’s a look at the official challenges: While most of the challenges are straightforward, there are a few which will require some very specific map knowledge. FREE PASS CHALLENGES Use an X-4 Stormwing Plane in different matches (5) – Launch Fireworks (3) – Eliminate opponents at Expedition Outposts (HARD) (3) – BATTLE PASS CHALLENGES Stage 1: Destroy Chairs (1) Stage 2: Destroy Wooden Utility Poles (1) – Final Stage: Destroy Wooden Palettes (1) – – Deal damage with a pickaxe to opponents (100) – Eliminate opponents at Happy Hamlet or Pleasant Park (HARD) (3) – Search… Stage 1: Search the letter “O” west of Pleasant Park (1) – Stage 2: Search the letter “S” in Wailing Woods (1) – Stage 3: Search the letter “M” in Dusty Divot (1) – Stage 4: Search the letter “N” under a frozen lake (1) – Final Stage: Visit the NOMS sign in Retail Row (1) – – We will have full guides for each of these challenges in detail soon, plus an all-in-one cheat sheet that will provide a straight forward plan of how to tackle these tasks best. There is also a fresh challenge for the 14 Days of Fortnite event, tasking you with dancing in front of nine different holiday trees – check out our full guide here. Use an X-4 Stormwing Plane in different matches (5) This challenge is self-explanatory, as all you need to do is a find a plane and fly it. Of course, this will take you a minimum of five matches to complete, as you must fly a plane in five unique matches. Launch Fireworks (3) Firework locations for Week 4 challenge The first firework location is just north of Risky Reels (now the block) and there’s another closeby, just north east of Wailing Woods. Finally, you’ll find another in the very south western point of the map, directly south from the center of Paradise Palms. There’s another firework nearby too, directly south east of Paradise Palms. If you get stuck on the west side of the map, you’re not completely out of luck, as there is one single, lonely firework just east of Pleasant Park. Eliminate opponents at Expedition Outposts (HARD) (3) You’ll simply need to head to these locations and take out enemies – considering lots of people will be trying to complete the challenge, you should have no problem finding people to aim for. Stage 1: Destroy Chairs Now moving on to the battle pass challenges, you first need to destroy a chair, then a Wooden Utility Pole (stage 2), and finally a wooden palette for stage 3. Deal damage with a pickaxe to opponents (100) Nothing fancy about this one, just attack enemies with your pickaxe. We recommend trying to do this early in the game, rather than later when everyone will have plenty weapons. Eliminate opponents at Happy Hamlet or Pleasant Park (HARD) (3) Best way to get these type of challenge done is to land at these locations right away and hope you can snag better loot before your opponents. Both these locations are already quite busy, and will be more so because of this challenge. Find the N O M S Letters Check out of full guide for every location you will need to visit to collect the letters to make N O M S here. Stage 1: Search the letter “O” west of Pleasant Park (1) – Stage 2: Search the letter “S” in Wailing Woods (1) – Stage 3: Search the letter “M” in Dusty Divot (1) – Stage 4: Search the letter “N” under a frozen lake (1) – Final Stage: Visit the NOMS sign in Retail Row (1) –

Fortnite Season 7, Week 2 challenges and how to complete them – Sheet Music, Dance Off and more The second week of Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale is upon us, and that means the Week 2 challenges went live on Thursday, December 13. Here’s everything you need to know. Week 2 will once again provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The official Week 2 challenges have now gone live, and they’re virtually identical to the December 12 leaks, so players around the world can now start working through them.

The official challenges are as follows: Free Challenges Search a Chest in different Names Locations (7) – Damage opponents with different types of weapons (5) – Eliminate opponents in Snobby Shores or Fatal Fields (3) (HARD) – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Visit Snobby Shores and Pleasant Park in a single match (2) – Play the Sheet Music on the pianos near Pleasant Park and Lonely Lodge (2) – Compete in a Dance Off at an abandoned mansion (1) (HARD) – Eliminate an opponent from at least 50m away (1) – How to complete the Season 7, Week 2 challenges Week 2 Snowfall challenge The second week of the Snowfall challenge involves players finding a hidden Banner after completing all of the standard challenges. You can find the Snowfall guide and location here. Search a Chest in different Named Locations (7) This is a pretty straightforward challenge. All you need to do is search a chest in any of the many named locations around the map; Tilted Towers, Retail Row, Polar Peak etc. Damage opponents with different types of weapons (5) The ‘types’ of weapons refers to various different classes like assault rifles, submachine guns and more. You can’t use 3 different types of rifle, for instance. With that in mind, try to deal damage with any five of the following types of weapon: Shotguns – Assault rifles – SMGs – Pistols – Snipers – Explosives – Traps – Minigun – Eliminate opponents in Snobby Shores or Fatal Fields (3) (HARD) This challenge is classified as hard, but landing at Snobby Shores or Fatal Fields a few times should make it easy enough to complete! Concentrate on looting early, and expect to be challenged quickly by other players attempting to complete the same task. Stage 1: Visit Snobby Shores and Pleasant Park in a single match (2) There are a total of three stages to this challenge and you have to complete them in order: Visit Snobby Shores and Pleasant Park – Visit Dusty Divot and Lonely Lodge – Visit Frosty Flights and Tomato Town – Play the Sheet Music on pianos near Pleasant Park and Lonely Lodge (2) This is a repeat of one of our favorite challenges from Season 6 with a slight twist. This time around, the sheet music is already laid out for you in front of the pianos. Here’s everything you need to know about the Week 2 sheet music challenge. Compete in a Dance Off at an abandoned mansion (1)(HARD) This is classed as a ‘hard’ challenge, but only requires one dance off to be completed. All you need to do is head to the old hero mansion near Lonely Lodge and take part in a dance competition with another player. A full guide on the dance of challenge can be found here. Eliminate an opponent from at least 50m away (1) Find a sniper and fight as many long-range battles as possible! Alternatively, get in a Stormwing plane and rain hell on your opponents from the skies.

Fortnite Season 7, Week 1 challenges and how to complete them epic gamesIt’s a new season in Fortnite Battle Royale, and that means there is a new set of challenges for you to complete and help rank up the battle pass tiers, unlocking all those sweet new cosmetics. With so much new content added for Season 7, Epic Games can be a bit more creative with their challenges, putting players to the test with the new vehicles, map changes and more. Just like previous seasons, the weekly challenges are split, with some available to all players and others only available to complete for battle pass owners – which, considering how much content is in the new battle pass, is probably the majority of players. The challenges go live the same day as the new season and update v7.00 dropped, on December 6, with a total of seven tasks to complete (or only three if you’re not a battle pass owner). More: Fortnite Season 7 map changes – Iceberg, Polar Peak, Frosty Flights, Happy Hamlet, Ziplines and more from the v7.00 update – In addition to the standard weekly challenges, there will also be progressive challenges for upgrading particular skins, such as the ‘Lynx’ skin shown in the Season 7 trailer. The first weekly challenges for Season 7 are as follows: Dance in different forbidden locations (7) Like the challenge suggests, there are seven forbidden locations in total. We first saw this challenge all the way back in Season 3, where sign’s showing no dancing allowed were dotted around the map. You will need to dance next to these signs when you spot them in game. In total, there are seven locations to dance at, shown on the map below. You can see a full guide of how to complete this challenge here. Stage 1: Dance on top of a crown of RV’s (1) This is the only brand new challenge in the first set of weekly tasks, and it is a staged one. You will need to head over to just south of Paradise Palms for the RV’s. Here’s the location for Stage 1: Stage 2: Dance on Top of a Metal Turtle Stage 3: Dance on top of a submarine Deal Headshot Damage to opponents (500) Another familiar challenge here, but there are a few ways to do this a bit faster. Try to find higher damage weapons, like snipers and Assault Rifles. When you find an unsuspecting enemy, or come up behind them, take some extra time to line-up the headshot as the first shot, before they realize you’re on to them. Stage 1: Search Ammo Boxes in a single match (5)(HARD) Nothing too complex here, you can find ammo boxes in most buildings and houses. Try to avoid conflict too early in matches so you can search these boxes, since you will need five in a single match. Stage 2: Search Chests in a single match (3) Stage 3: Search Supply Drops in a single match (1) Eliminate opponents in different Named Locations (5)(HARD) The final challenge for week 1 is another tried and tested one. You don’t have to do this in a single match, but you may as well try to save yourself time. Head to quieter areas to search for a single elimination, then once you’ve got one move on to another. Aim for areas like Greasy Grove, where there are plenty other named locations in close vicinity, so you can quickly move around location to location.

Fortnite Season 7 Week 10 challenges and how to complete them – Expedition Outposts, Shooting gallery locations Week 10 of Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale got underway on Thursday, January when the Week 10 challenges go live on on PC, PS4, Xbox One and all other platforms. Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s tasks and how to complete them. Week 10, as always, provides players with a total of seven challenges. Three of these are free-to-play and the remaining four will be exclusive to owners of the Season 7 Battle Pass. The Week 10 challenges were leaked by data miners ahead of time, giving us a pretty good idea of what the developers have in store for us. The leaks proved to be as accurate as we’ve come to expect and Week 10 challenges are probably the easiest so far this season. The developers of Fortnite, Epic Games, have been known to switch or edit some challenges by the time they go live in the past, so we were hoping to see some changes to the more mundane challenges once they went live. However, when the challenges went live at 14:00 GMT (09:00 EST, 06:00 PST), the only change was the order in which they were listed. The official challenges are as follows: Fortnite Season 7, Week 10 Challenges Free Pass Challenges Place a Mounted Turret or a Damage Trap in different matches (3) – Search Chests at Lazy Links or Dusty Divot (7) – Assault Rifle Eliminations (3) (HARD) – Battle Pass Challenges Deal Damage with Scoped Weapons to opponents (200) – Stage 1: Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery east of Wailing Woods Stage 2: Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery north of Retail Row – Stage 3: Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery east of Paradise Palms – – Visit Expedition Outposts in a single match (4) – Hit an opponent with a Chiller Grenade or Boogie Bomb in different matches (3) – How to complete the Season 7, Week 10 Fortnite challenges Week 10 Snowfall challengeThe ongoing Snowfall challenge is back for Week 10 of Season 7. This week, you’ll be looking for a hidden Banner rather than a secret Battle Star. Once you’ve completed all seven of the standard challenges for the week, check out our step-by-step guide on how to find the secret Fortnite Banner for Week 10, Season 7. Place a Mounted Turret or a Damage Trap in different matches This is another simple challenge – all you need to do to complete this one is find a Mounted Turret or Damage Trap and place it. Do this in three different matches and your work is complete. Search Chests at Lazy Links or Dusty Divot This is another straightforward challenge, you just need to open a total of seven chests in Lazy Links and Dusty Divot. As always, you can open all seven in one location or split them between the two. If you’re in a hurry, land at one of the locations straight away. You’re almost guaranteed to find one or two chests for free each time. Assault Rifle Eliminations This is, once again, a pretty straightforward challenge – simply eliminate a total of players with an Assault Rifle of any rarity. You don’t need to kill all of your opponents in one match, so you can take your time with this one. The number of eliminations required to complete the challenge is three. Deal damage with scoped weapons to opponents You’ll be asked to deal out a total of 200 damage for this challenge – it should be fairly easy to complete considering how many scoped weapons are available in Fortnite Battle Royale. If you’re struggling, try entering a more laid-back Limited Time Mode where players are less likely to be watching their back. Stage 1: Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery east of Wailing Woods The only stage challenge for Week 10 will involve visiting different locations and completing the shooting gallery challenge at each of them. We’re expecting three stages in total and you’ll need to complete them in this order: Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery east of Wailing Woods – Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery north of Retail Row – Get a score of 5 or more at the shooting gallery east of Paradise Palms – Visit Expedition Outposts in a single match We’ve seen expedition outpost challenges once or twice before in Season 7 so we’re surprised to see them back yet again. You’ll actually need to visit four different outposts in one match to complete this, so think carefully about your route: Hit an opponent with a Chiller Grenade or Boogie Bomb in different matches Yet another damage challenge… We were keeping our fingers crossed that at least one of these was switched out or changed. You already know the drill here: Simply hit an opponent with a Chiller Grenade or Boogie Bomb in a handful of different matches. You to hit a total of three opponents over he course of as many matches as you want.

Fortnite Season 7 teaser warns of aliens coming Epic GamesIn the lead-up to the new Fortnite Season, Epic has gone ahead and posted the first official teaser ahead of its release. Be aware, as the rumors surrounding aliens are all confirmed with this new teaser! The beginning of any Fortnite season is one that brings in players from all communities to speculate what Epic has in store for us. This has been the trend for some time now, and Epic does an incredible job at building up anticipation in the days before a new season kicks off. They are once again following this philosophy, as the first teaser for Season 7 has been swarming our social media as of late. One important note from the teaser is that it all but confirms the existence of aliens in Season 7. Season 7 teaser In the afternoon on June 2nd, images and videos started piling in regarding the first teaser for Fortnite Season 7. HYPEX was the first source to post a video of the teaser, and according to fellow leaker VsstBlastt, its source originates from Tiktok. Better quality of the Season 7 Teaser video! pic.twitter.com/hy0Ta0UVa7 — HYPEX (@HYPEX) June 2, 2021 There isn’t a whole lot to gather from the teaser, as with Epic, there is never much we can tell from these videos/images – but the line of text at the bottom of the video says “They’re coming”, which has to be a sign towards the existence of aliens on the Fortnite map. Read More: UFOs are abducting unlucky Fortnite players – Epic has been handing out clues surrounding aliens for a while now, as the Foreshadowing quests were only the start of this. Recently, they added crop circles to portions of the map, and some players are even getting abducted by these extraterrestrial folk. Every Fortnite season has some sort of theme related to the battle pass and the outlook on the map. Furthermore, the lore of Fortnite is one that is constantly changing, and the appearance of aliens in Season 7 is one we did not expect for sure.

Fortnite Season 7: Snowfall challenges replace Hunting Party as secret Battle Star returns If you’re wondering what the Fortnite Season 7 equivalent of Hunting Party challenges will be, it looks like the answer is ‘Snowfall Challenges’. Throughout Season 6, players were given hints at the end of a week’s standard challenges via a loading screen. This loading screen was related to a bonus ‘Hunting Party’ challenge that involved finding a hidden Battle Star or banner somewhere on the map. Complete enough of the weeks, and players unlocked a mystery Hunting Party skin which turned out to be the A.I.M outfit. This popular challenge was also seen in other forms previously – Blockbuster challenges in Season 4 and Road Trip challenges in Season 5. For Season 7, the assumption is that the ‘Snowfall’ challenges, which were originally leaked by @lucas7yoshi_ on Twitter, will work in a similar way. As you can see in the image below, players will need to complete a host of challenges throughout the season in order to unlock a mystery skin: Whether or not the Snowfall challenge will work in an identical way to previous seasons is currently unknown. Once we’ve worked our way through all of the Week 1 challenges, which were released on December 6 when the v7.00 patch downtime ended, we’ll find the Battle Star or Banner and update you! Read More: Fortnite Season 7: Leaked skins and cosmetics from the v7.00 patch files – Names, rarities and more – Season 7 already promises to be one of the best yet for Fortnite fans. The new Iceberg biome has added a huge amount of room to the map and there are a tonne of other changes besides. Players will also get the chance to take to the skies like never before thanks to the addition of the all-new X-4 Stormwing plane!

Fortnite Season 7 major changes to Loot Llamas leaked Epic GamesLlamas have been an aspect of Fortnite that have remained relatively unchanged since they were first introduced. Now, leaks are noting that they could finally be getting tweaked in Season 7. Fortnite Season 7 is set to release tomorrow, June 8, and players worldwide could not be more excited for the Summer season of Fortnite. Every time Epic Games roll out a new season, there is always excitement in the air, as we never know what they are planning. Another component of a new Fortnite season releasing is the ample amount of leaks we receive from data miners in the days leading up to the season. This time is no different, as one notable leaker has noted that Loot Llamas are getting significant changes in Season 7. Season 7 Loot Llama changes It is rare to encounter a Llama during a Fortnite match, as they spawn in random locations all over the map and they also have some unique spawn points. We have encountered some within lakes, the side of mountains, or even hidden on the roof of buildings. Read More: Fortnite Season 7 early patch notes – They are a joy to find as they drop the following materials each time you open one of them. 350 Wood – 350 Brick – 350 Steel – 3 traps – 10 Stacks of Ammo Shotgun – Light – Medium – Heavy – – 3 types of consumable items Shields or Med Kits – – Llamas are a fantastic way to improve the outcome of your game, as you will be set in regards to materials, heals, and ammo, which are all vital components of any Fortnite match. But, we could be seeing some changes to how Llamas work in Season 7, as HYPEX has tweeted they will be getting notable changes. I was told a few days ago from a trusted source that Llamas will receive an update in Season 7, most likely in 17.00! The update is really good and I’d rather not spoil it, but yeah.. Season 7 is gonna be REALLY good! — HYPEX (@HYPEX) June 7, 2021 The contents of the update are unknown as of now, but if we were to guess we can speculate they may be reducing the number of materials and ammo you receive from each Llama. Another note that we think Epic could change is the amount that spawn in each match, as right now there are five Loot Llamas around the Fortnite map during a game. Read More: Fortnite pro Issa announces comeback – If the Fortnite map increases in size due to the alien takeover, we could see Epic increase the amount of Llamas by one or two. On the flip side, if the map does not feature as many POIs as previous seasons, we could see this number drop all the way down to three. We will have to wait and see what Epic have up their sleeves for how Llamas are going to work in Season 7!

How to defeat Doctor Slone & get Mythic Pulse Rifle in Fortnite Season 7 Epic GamesEpic Games have launched Fortnite Season 7 with a few more Mythic weapons and one of those is the Slone Pulse Rifle, which boss Doctor Slone is holding onto. The game’s latest major update revealed a number of big changes in our unofficial patch notes, following an alien invasion theme that’s been building in Epic Games‘ teasers throughout the latter end of Season 6. Now that the v17.00 update has dropped, however, fans will be sniffing around the map for new things to do – and battling Doctor Slone should be high on that list, based on the reward you’ll get for defeating her. Let’s take a look through everything you need to know to get the better of them and collect their powerful Mythic weapon. Doctor Slone location in Fortnite If you want to take on Doctor Slone and steal her Mythic weapon, you’ll have to head to Corny Complex. This new Season 7 POI is east of the center of the map, and replaces what used to be Colossal Crops. Don’t be deceived by this location’s rural appearance – there’s actually a hidden area underneath the central red farmhouse that’s full of technology, and this is where Doctor Slone is hanging out. Doctor Slone’s Mythic Pulse Rifle damage stats The rifle is fully automatic when hip firing but slows down when aiming down sights. Below, you can see its damage stats: Damage to player – 38 – Magazine size – 16 – Fire rate – 4.2 – Reload time – 2.6775 seconds – Dr Slone will be in the middle of the map with this Mythic Rifle! pic.twitter.com/5hdbo7QzsC — HYPEX (@HYPEX) June 8, 2021 How to defeat Doctor Slone in Fortnite Season 7 Defeating NPC bosses is always tricky, but these battles are all about patience and picking your moments. Here’s how to defeat Doctor Slone: Drop from the Battle Bus into Corny Complex. – Pick up a good weapon or two nearby, and make sure you have enough ammo. – Head down underneath the red farmhouse to find Doctor Slone. – Use the various walls and objects as shelter while aiming at her head for extra damage. – If you want, you can try and draw her out into the open which might help. – After dealing enough damage, you’ll take Slone down and get the Mythic weapon. – Remember that this NPC boss will have more HP than you, so don’t go in all guns blazing. This area is also swarming with IO Guards, who make their return from Season 5 after being absent last season. At the same time, based on the powerful weapon at Doctor Slone’s disposal, you might not be the only player trying to take them down so do keep your wits about you after landing.

Fortnite Season 7: Leaked skins and cosmetics from the v7.00 patch files – Names, rarities and more As is often the case after the a major Fortnite update, data miners have been hard at work finding cosmetics, skins and more in the v7.0 patch files for Season 7. The v7.0 update, which was released on December 6, marked the start of the all-new season along with a host of new map changes, skins, Battle Pass items and more. However, the skins that have been announced are not necessarily everything that is included in the massive patch – Epic Games like to keep some hidden for future releases or the daily item shop. Fortnite leaker @lucas7yoshi_ on Twitter has already leaked three new outfits that will apparently be appearing in the Fortnite shop soon: Epic Games have reportedly made some changes to the way that they order their files that prevent data miners getting as much information as before, but some lists of asset names and their associated skin have been linked already. The image below leaked by @FNBRLeaks on Twitter and it is assumed that each cosmetic lines up with one of the names. Skins At the time of writing, asset extraction in the latest Fortnite build is difficult. Unfortunately this means that further data on these cosmetics is currently unavailable. Stay tuned. Trog (Yeti (Male)) – Sgt. Winter (TacticalSanta (Male)) – Powder (Snowboard (Female)) – Lynx (NeonCat (Female)) – Zenith (ArcticSniper (Male)) – The Ice King (IceKing (Male)) – Waypoint (BlueBadass (Female)) – Cloudbreaker (DieselPunk02 (Male)) – Wingtip (DieselPunk02 (Female)) – ? (RavenWinter (Male)) – ? (RedNightWinter (Female)) – ? (CupidWinter (Male)) – ? (Math (Male)) – Pickaxes Scratchmark – Scorcher – Ice – Scepter – Icicle – Abominable Axe – Gliders Rickety Runner – Tactical Sleigh – Glidurrr – Royale Air – Back Bling TBA. Emotes TBA. It’s currently uncertain whether these are all just the names of skins that can be found in the Battle Pass or whether they are outfits that will be added at a later date. We’ll update this post with more leaks and information about the skins in the image above as soon as they become available. However, according to a recent Twitter post from @FNBRLeaks, we might be waiting for longer than normal: “Epic Games, somewhat killed leaking. Assets we’re re-ordered in a way where its not exportable for me and multiple people. So until I can find a way to get this done. There’ll most likely be no leaks instantly.” Epic Games, somewhat killed leaking. Assets we’re re-ordered in a way where its not exportable for me and multiple people.

Fortnite Season 7 FNCS: Dates & times, prize pool, trios, more Epic GamesAnother round of competitive Fortnite is just around the corner, and Season 7’s FNCS has some notable changes coming that players should be aware of, and we are stoked to see the festivities yet again. Competitive Fortnite has been on a standstill since the FNCS All-Star Showdown at the end of June, but now, Epic has announced this season’s events which is once again going to feature the trios game mode. Now, trios worldwide will be practicing in hopes to become the new wielders of the FNCS Axe of Champions, and we’re going to run overall you need to know about this season’s FNCS. FNCS Season 7 start date Similar to last season’s FNCS, there’s going to be three rounds of qualifiers for players to participate in, followed up by a Semi-Finals for those who don’t automatically qualify for the FNCS Grand Finals. The first qualifier is going to begin on July 29/30, and it will continue like this for two following weeks, before the Semi-Finals. Below are all the dates for the qualifier weekends for FNCS Season 7. July 29: Qualifier 1 – [Middle East] – July 30: Qualifier 1 – [All Regions Except Middle East] – August 12: Qualifier 2 – [Middle East] – August 13: Qualifier 2 – [All Regions Except Middle East] – August 19: Qualifier 3 – [Middle East] – August 20: Qualifier 3 – [All Regions Except Middle East] – “Each open Qualifier occurs across four rounds. The top players from the final round in each region will skip directly to the Finals on September 3rd – 5th. Players will accumulate Series Points based on each Qualifier’s final placements tracked on the Series Leaderboard. Every Qualifier counts, as top performers on the Series Leaderboard will advance into the Semi-Finals,” Epic explained. Prize Pool No FNCS is complete without an absolutely loaded prize pool, and it appears Epic has kept the same prize pool for the majority of the regions this time around. Here is an outline of how the prize pool will be structured per the top ten for each region. Once again Europe and North America East have the lion’s share of the prize money, and these regions are touted as producing the most intense action during FNCS. Reboot Round and Semi-Finals The Reboot Round for the FNCS Semi-Finals is back once again, and this is used to determine the final teams for the Grand Finals. Players who fail to qualify for the Finals based on the opening qualifier rounds and the Semi-Finals will duke it out to see who the final trios are. While we await to see the trios that will prove their worth and qualify for the FNCS Grand Finals, this season’s festivities are bound to be some of the best!

Fortnite Season 7: How to complete the ‘Dance in different forbidden locations’ challenge Fortnite Season 7 went live on Thursday, December 6, and brought with a huge amount of changes, new skins and cosmetics, map updates and even a new Battle Pass. If you’re one of the millions of people worldwide that have already installed the v7.00 update, there’s a good chance that you’re already working your way through the Season 7, Week 1 challenges. As was the case throughout Season 6, the first week of challenges for Season 7 consist of three tasks that are free-to-play, and four that are exclusive to Battle Pass owners. One of the free-to-play quests requires players to dance in seven different forbidden locations, which is pretty difficult to do when you load into a totally revamped map and have no idea where any of these forbidden places are. Luckily for you, we’ve put together a map of all the forbidden locations that we have found or been made aware of so far: Simply find the ‘no dancing’ signs at the locations marked on the map and use your favorite dancing emote to proceed. Make sure that you go to seven different locations – repeating one spot will not work. Read More: Fortnite Season 7 map changes – Iceberg, Polar Peak, Frosty Flights, Happy Hamlet, Ziplines and more from the v7.00 update – As always, ensure that you complete any game where you’re working through challenges before leaving. If you return to the lobby before being eliminated, your progress might be lost. If you find any more locations, feel free to send them to our Twitter account, @Dexerto, and we’ll try to add them. More information about the massive v7.00 patch and all of the Season 7 changes, from the map to the Battle Pass, can be found here.

Fortnite Season 7 could start alien takeover as UFO abductions leaked Epic Games / MasterTux via PixabayA new batch of leaked information suggests that an alien takeover could be the theme of Fortnite Season 7, with UFO abductions and quest lines related to the outer space creatures. After Season 6 of Fortnite threw players right back to the Primal age with tameable dinosaurs and craftable weapons, many were left wondering where Epic Games could possibly go next in order to top their previous season themes. One of the most prominent theories was that they would do the exact opposite of Primal, and instead take players to the future. However, following a set of recent leaks, it now seems that Season 7 is actually going to revolve around aliens. Is the theme of Fortnite Season 7 ‘aliens’? Following the v16.50 update – which is the final mid-season update of Season 6 – a huge number of unreleased sounds, animations, and quest lines related to aliens were discovered by Fortnite leakers. It seems that these leaked assets are related to a new set of ‘Foreshadowing’ quests, which are expected to go live at some point before Season 6 comes to an end. Here are all the UFO & Alien Teleport Props sounds ! pic.twitter.com/bzwen0HCF5 — HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 25, 2021 Here’s the animation of when you get abducted by aliens? (via @gameshed_) pic.twitter.com/JvpbVjSPov — HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 25, 2021 Prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX explained that UFOs will “randomly spawn around the map then abduct a player or squad and teleport you somewhere else” – which could definitely affect gameplay if you’re in a heated shootout. Here’s what i noticed about the UFOs thing, they will randomly spawn around the map then abduct a player or squad (idk if its by choice) and teleport your somewhere else (idk if its by choice) & they heal your HP & Shield in the process.. They also have a warning before abducting — HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 25, 2021 It appears that these UFO abductions will either begin happening at some point in the two weeks building up to the finale of Fortnite Season 6 or at the beginning of Season 7. If all goes to plan, the current season will finish on June 7, 2021. While nothing has been confirmed yet, it certainly seems likely that these UFO appearances and alien abductions will have a part to play in Season 7 of Fortnite, which is expected to kick off on June 8, 2021. Read More: How to get the Deathstroke skin in Fortnite – A similar thing happened in the final two weeks of Season 5, where the Zero Point began sending out strange pulses and teleporting NPC characters around the Island. This was a hint about the Zero Point destabilizing, which led directly into the Primal theme of Season 6. As we said before, nothing is confirmed right now. But, given Epic’s history of teasing future seasons in this way, Fortnite fans could very well be in for an alien-themed season – or maybe one set in outer space? Of course, there’s no reason why aliens and UFOs couldn’t also fit into a ‘future’ themed season…

Fortnite: Season 7 battle pass skins leaked online With Season 7 fast approaching in Fortnite, three new skins which are yet to be released have leaked online, giving fans a first glimpse at what new cosmetics they can expect. As with every new season in Fortnite, there will be a new theme for Season 7, along with new cosmetics – and some map changes also expected, with snow spotted and a wintery scene shown in teasers. Usually all the new cosmetics would be kept a guarded secret until after the new season begins, but the iOS App Store appears to have leaked three skins ahead of the start of Season 7. Although these have not been confirmed by Epic Games, there is actually a big clue that these are definitely real skins dropping in Season 7. Along with the three main skins which are visible, a small eye shape is also present in the far right of the image, where it is cut off. The catwoman-like skin on the left is also clearly the same shape as the skin shown close up in the second teaser for Season 7, appearing to be snowboarding. This eye shape almost certainly belongs to another skin which was leaked previously, with a female character wearing a onesie. This skin was leaked and then shortly after removed from the game files. 500You can also see the outline of the black cat skin in the second teaser for Season 7. Because they are shown off as the feature image for Season 7, these skins will likely be available as part of the Season 7 battle pass. Following the announcement of Fortnite Creative, some players also notice this character in the featured image, who appears to be wearing a skin not yet in the game, although it is difficult to tell from a distance.

Fortnite Season 7 map changes – Iceberg, Polar Peak, Frosty Flights, Happy Hamlet, Ziplines and more from the v7.00 update epic gamesFortnite’s highly anticipated seventh season finally went live on Thursday, December 6, and it came with a whole host of new map changes! Fans of the game predicted that Season 7 would have some sort of snow and ice theme to celebrate the winter months, and the majority of leaks in the latter half of Season 6 seemed to prove those theories correct. Add the fact that an iceberg was seen drifting ominously closer to the south coast of the map during the final weeks, and that snow eventually began to fall on Spawn Island, and the winter theme was all but confirmed. Various teasers about a ‘frigid day’ dawning or a ‘bitter ice’ spreading only served to build upon the snow hype, but nobody knew exactly what to expect until the release of the Season 7 patch notes and trailer of December 6. Read More: Fortnite Season 7: What’s included in the Battle Pass? Skins, Cosmetics, Trailer and more – First and foremost, the Iceberg will features heavily as it will now be part of a new ‘biome’. Downtime for the v7.00 update hasn’t ended yet, but you can get a good idea of what to expect from the Iceberg in the Season 7 trailer below: Below, you can find all of the map changes that we know of so far. We’ll be updating this article once downtime has ended and we’ve had a chance to look around for ourselves. Iceberg The new Iceberg biome has now collided with the edge of the map, turning a large section of it into ice and snow and adding large amount more land. The overhead image of the Season 7 map shows that around a quarter of it has been affected! Frosty Flights Happy Hamlet Yet another new location, Happy Hamlet can found on the southern edge of the Iceberg Biome. Other changes The patch notes also confirmed that ziplines, points of interest and various icy areas have also been added throughout the map. They’ve also adjusted the way that the storm closes in, making final circles at the edge of the map more likely: Icy Surfaces can be found in snowy areas. Players will slide on certain frozen surfaces. – – Ziplines can be found around the Iceberg and near Expedition Outposts. Latch on and zip from one end to the other. – Aim, fire, or use items all while conveniently traveling on Ziplines. – – Minimap updated. – – Icy Surfaces can be found in snowy areas. – Increased the chance of final circles ending on the outer edges of the map. –

Fortnite Season 6, Week 9 challenges and how to complete them Believe it or not, Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is already entering its ninth week, meaning that the Week 9 are upon us and the time remaining to earn to reach Tier 100 and earn the Dire outfit is running out! Week 9 will once again provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass. The official Week 9 challenges went live on November 22 and are in-line with what we expected following the November 21 leaks. You can see the official list of challenges for Week 9 in the image below: Get a score of 10 or more on different Carnival Clown Boards (3)BATTLE PASS CHALLENGES: Deal damage to players with a Clinger, Stink Bomb or Grenade (300) – Deal damage to opponent structures with Dynamite (10,000) – Rocket or Grenade Launcher Eliminations (3) (HARD) – Stage 1: Deal damage with Grenades to opponents (100) (HARD) – Hunting Party Challenge The weekly Hunting Party challenge returns for its eighth installment and this week you’ll be looking for a Battle Star! For more information, check out our in-depth guide. Get 30s of airtime in a vehicle We’re assuming that you need to get a total of 30 seconds in different leaps, because one 30 second jump seems pretty far fetched! Whether you need to accumulate all 30 seconds in the same vehicle, and during the same game, is currently uncertain. Get a score of 10 or more on different Carnival Clown Boards So, Carnival Clown Boards have been added to Fortnite, and your task is to find some of the minigames and get a score of 10 or more on them. For more information, including a map with all the clown board locations, check out our in-depth guide. Stage 1: Consume Mushrooms As there are five stages to this challenge, we expect you’ll be asked to consume various other health/shield as the challenge progresses. Deal damage to players with a Clinger, Stink Bomb or Grenade This is a pretty straightforward challenge on paper, so don’t be surprised if the wording changes slightly when they are officially announced. Deal damage to opponent structures with Dynamite This definitely sounds like a realistic challenge due to the fact that the Dynamite was added to the game in the November 20 v6.30 Content Update. Completing it should be a simple case of lighting the fuse on some Dynamite and throwing it at anything built by an opponent. 10,000 damage might take a while though! Rocket or Grenade Launcher Eliminations This is the sort of challenge that we wouldn’t be surprised to see switched out when the challenges go live. Check back later for confirmation. Stage 1: Deal damage with Grenades to opponents Check back for more information on each stage once the challenges go live!

Fortnite Season 6: Where to find Fancy View, Rainbow Rentals & Lockie’s Lighthouse Epic GamesFortnite’s newest set of challenges is out for Week 6 and one of them tasks players with visiting three unnamed points-of-interest around the island. Here’s where you can find them all. Fortnite Season 6’s week six challenges are officially here and generally speaking, they aren’t too annoying to complete. Players will have to finish bounties, stay within a certain distance of someone using a prop, and open some safes located around the map. One frustrating challenge, however, is that you have to visit three different unnamed points-of-interest around the map: Fancy View, Rainbow Rentals, and Lockie’s Lighthouse. Even though they are generally marked when you highlight over a challenge, you may be a bit confused as to where you need to go. Fortnite Rainbow Rentals location Just south of Holly Hedges, players will be able to find Rainbow Rentals. These are the small group of multi-colored houses located along the beach. This is probably one of the more difficult ones as it’s a bit tucked away and generally not as visited as the other locations. Still, it’s pretty easy to track down nonetheless. Fortnite Fancy View location Another relatively easy-to-find location, Fancy View can be found towards the west-side of the map. This is the mansion that The Reaper can be found in that overlooks the ocean. This location is a bit more popular than the previous one, so make sure that you get in and out quickly as there could be some players dropping there, even if they aren’t completing the quest. Fortnite Lockie’s Lighthouse location The last location players will need to visit is Lockie’s Lighthouse. This is certainly the easiest one to find, as it’s the only lighthouse on the map. Read More: All safe locations in Fortnite Season 6 – That being said, it is a popular destination, even outside of the challenge itself, and there’s usually one or two players who always drop there so be ready for a fight. For all of these locations, you simply have to drop in and visit each one. There’s nothing to interact with or manipulate so simply visit them and move on to the next challenge.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 8 challenges and how to complete them Believe it or not, Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale has already entered its eighth week, meaning that the Week 8 challenges went live on November 15. As has been the case throughout the season so far, Week 8 provides players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass. The official Week 8 challenges have now gone live and they’re virtually identical to the ones that were leaked on November 14. You can see the official challenge list in the image below. Dance with a fish trophy at (7) different named locations – 5 Battle StarsBattle Pass Challenges Get a score of 3 on (3) different Clay Pigeon Shooters – 5 Battle Stars – Get (250,000) Trick Points in a vehicle – 5 Battle Stars – Visit (4) different Named Locations in a single match (HARD) – 10 Battle Stars – Stage 1: Use a Grappling Hook (HARD) – 3 Battle Stars Stage 2: Use a Launch Pad – Stage 5: Use a Rift-to-Go – – Hunting Party Challenge The weekly Hunting Party challenge returns for its eighth installment and this week you’ll be looking for a Banner! For more information, check out our in-depth guide. Stage 1: Visit Lonely Lodge and Retail Row in a single match As this is a stage challenge, you’ll need to check back when the challenges have been live long enough for us to play through them! Dance with a fish trophy at different Named Locations Probably the most enjoyable of this week’s challenges – you’ll need to find seven different fish trophies and use your favorite dance emote in front of them. You can find all of the fish trophy locations that we are currently aware of in our in-depth guide. Six Shooter or Heavy Assault Rifle Eliminations (HARD) To complete this one you’ll simply need to eliminate a total of two enemies with the Six Shooter or Heavy Assault Rifle. As both weapons were recently added to the game, this one should be a lot of fun. If you happen to be struggling, we’d advise playing a few games of the Disco Domination LTM where you’re more likely to catch opponents off-guard. Get a score of 3 on different Clay Pigeon Shooters The first of this week’s Battle Pass challenges asks you to score three or more at three different clay pigeon locations. The clay pigeon shooters have been on the map for quite some time now, but you can find them all in our guide if you’re struggling. Get Trick Points in a vehicle Another returning classic, we expected to see the wording changed for this challenge so that you would have to use one particular vehicle, but it looks like they are all fair game. Visit different Named Locations in a single match As easy as A, B, C. Simply make your way to a total of three locations that are named on the map (Tilted Towers, Lucky Landing etc.) in one match. Stage 1: Use Grappling Hook Check back for more information on each stage later.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 6 challenges and how to complete them Believe it or not, we’ve already passed the halfway point of Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale, a point that is highlighted by the release of the Week 6 challenges on November 1. As has been the case throughout the season so far, Week 6 provides players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass. The official Week 6 challenges have now gone live. They differ slightly to the ones that were leaked earlier in the week, but mostly in wording. The official challenges are as follows: The official challenges are as follows: Free Challenges Place Chillers in different matches (3) – Search a Chest in different Named Locations (7) – Shotgun eliminations Eliminations (3) – HARD – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Land at Shifty Shafts (1) Stage 2: Land at Risky Reels Stage 3: Land at Retail Row Stage 4: Land at Haunted Hills Stage 5: Land at Leaky Lake – Deal damage with a Pickaxe to opponents (250) – Stage 1: Find the Sheet Music in Pleasant Park (1) – HARD Stage 2 – Play the Sheet Music at the piano near Pleasant Park Stage 3 – Find the Sheet Music in Retail Row Stage 4 – Play the sheet music at the piano near Retail Row – Stage 1: Elimination with a common weapon (1) – HARD Stage 2: Elimination with an uncommon weapon Stage 3: Elimination with a rare weapon Stage 4: Elimination with an epic weapon Stage 5: Elimination with a legendary weapon – Hunting Party Challenge Week 6 The ongoing Hunting Party challenge returns for Week 6 of Season 6. This week, you’ll need to find a secret Banner after completing all seven of the standard challenges. For more information, check out our in-depth guide. Place Chillers in different matches You won’t need much help from us for this one! Simply find some Chiller traps and use them. As there is a limit on how many you can place per game, you’ll need to play at least three matches. Search a Chest in different Named Locations Easily one of the most boring challenges we’ve seen this season, all you’ll need to do is search a chest at any point of interest that is named on the map (Pleasant Park, Tilted Towers etc.) Shotgun Eliminations Elimination challenges are a fairly common theme throughout Fortnite seasons. Picking up a kill with a shotgun isn’t exactly difficult, so we’d advise you to not concentrate on this one, just play through your games and it should be completed fairly quickly. Stage 1: Land at Shifty Shafts The first of this week’s ‘Stage’ challenges and the fist of the battle pass tasks will ask you to land at various different locations as time goes on. After landing at Shifty, you’ll need to land at Risky Reels, Retail Row, Haunted Hills, and finally Leaky Lake. Deal damage with a Pickaxe to opponents Another fairly boring challenge, dealing damage with pickaxes can take quite some time. Your best bet for completing this one quickly will be to finish off opponents that have been knocked down with your pickaxe. If damage only counts when an opponent is up, you might be grinding away at this one for a while. Stage 1: Find the Sheet Music in Pleasant Park This is a pretty interesting challenge and involves a total of four stages! Check out our in-depth guide for a step-by-step tutorial. Stage 1: Elimination with a Common weapon As we predicted from the leaks, this task turned out to be another multi-stage challenge. After picking up an elimination with a common weapon, simply work your way up through the rarities (uncommon, rare, epic, legendary). You don’t have to complete this challenge in one game, so completing it over the course of the week shouldn’t be too taxing. If you’re still struggling with any of this week’s locations, you can check out the cheat sheet from squatingdog for more information.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 7 challenges and how to complete them Week 7 of Season 6 is now upon us in Fortnite Battle Royale, meaning a new set of challenges are now live to help you rank up. Similar to previous weeks, there are three challenges available to all players, and another four challenges which only battle pass owners can complete. The official Week 7 challenges are now officially live in game, and we have a full breakdown and helpful tips to get them done faster. The challenges remain unchanged from the leaks that surfaced on November 7, so unfortunately there are no new innovative challenges from Epic this week. There isn’t much to be excited for in these challenges really, they’re all pretty mundane tasks, and we even have the old classic ‘Skydive through floating rings’ challenge. There is a couple of multi-stage challenges, and we will add there next stages as they are revealed. The Week 7 challenges are as follows: Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match (7) – Deal Headshot Damage to opponents (500) – Stage 1: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (HARD)(300) Stage 2: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (400) – Stage 3: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (500) – – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Destroy Trees (50) Stage 2: Destroy Rocks (25) – Stage 3: Destroy Cars (10) – – Skydive through Floating Rings (20) – Stage 1: Consume 5 Apples (HARD)(5) Stage 2: Consume Bandages (60) – Stage 3: Consume Medkits (100) – Stage 4: Consume Slurp Juice (50) – – Eliminate Opponents in Pleasant Park (HARD)(3) – Check back when the challenges go live for a confirmed list and an explanation of how to complete each one. Hunting Party Challenge Week 6 The ongoing Hunting Party challenge returns for Week 7 of Season 6. The Battle Pass star returns for this week’s challenge. For more information, check out our in-depth guide. Search 7 Ammo Boxes in a single match This is a pretty straightforward task, and if you’ve played Fortnite long enough you’ll know the common spots for these ammo boxes. You can usually find them in basements and buildings, often sitting on shelves. Because this one needs to be done in a single match, we recommend dropping somewhere quiet, as you don’t want to die early before you’ve looted seven of them. Deal Headshot Damage to Opponents Again not much explanation needs given here, although we can give a few tips to get it done faster. Try to find higher damage weapons, like snipers and AR’s. When you find an unsuspecting enemy, take some extra time to line-up the headshot as the first shot, before they realize you’re on them. Stage 1: Deal damage to opponents in a single match (300) So this is only stage one, and required you to deal 300 damage to opponents in a match. Stage two and three have now also been uncovered, and they simply require you to do 100 more damage each time, still in a single match. – Stage 2 = 400, Stage 3: 500: So for stage two, you will need to do 400 damage in a match, and then finally 500 damage for stage three. Stage 1: Destroy Trees (50) This has got to be up there with the most mundane Fortnite challenges we’ve seen, tasking you with destroying 50 trees. It doesn’t stipulate that you must do it in a single match, although you probably could. Head to a densely leafy area like Wailing Woods to get this out of the way fast. – Stage 2: Destroy Rocks (25) – in a similar vein, just go find some Rocks, the best spot is likely the quarry between Lazy Links and the Motel. – Stage 3: Destroy Cars (10) – There’s plenty of cars at Retail Row just waiting in the car park to be demolished for this third stage. Skydive through Floating Rings If you’ve been playing Fortnite for a while this challenge will be very familiar to you. You need to dive through 20 in total, but you can usually only manage two in a single dive when departing the battle bus. There are purple rings and blue rings, with the purple ones higher and the blue ones lower, so you can see at a glance if you can pull off two in a single dive. Check out our full guide to Skydiving through rings here. Stage 1: Consume 5 Apples Your best bet for finding Apples is probably the same places you might go to destroy 50 trees, since Apples are only found in Fortnite underneath trees. This challenge is marked as ‘HARD’ however, and we can see why with the next stages. – Stage 2: Consume Bandages (60) – Stage 3: Consume Medkits (100) – Stage 4: Consume Slurp (50) For these next stages, you will find it faster if you stock up medkits/bandages/slurps, and then do fall damage to yourself, allowing you to use them. This will still take a long time to get through however. Eliminate Opponents in Pleasant Park Nothing to exciting here either, simply head to Pleasant Park and take out three opponents. Because plenty of other players will also be trying to complete this, there should be no shortage of enemies to target. Recommend getting to one of the main houses as fast as possible to ensure you get a weapon. To complete these challenges super fast, be sure to check out the ‘Cheat Sheet’ map with all locations and hints for every Week 7 challenge.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 5 challenges and how to complete them Week 5 of Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is upon us, and that means that the fifth set of weekly challenges officially went live on October 25. The first four weeks have provided players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass, and Week 5 is no different. The official Week 5 challenges have now gone live, and they are almost identical to the ones that were leaked ahead of time. Challenges were changed slightly at the last minute in Week 3 and Week 4, and we had assumed that at least two or three of them would change by the time they went live, but the only real change is the speed required to complete the first challenge. The official Week 5, Season 6 challenges are as follows: There are also three ‘deal damage’ challenges and, as expected, two of them have become ‘stage’ challenges where you have to complete a number of small tasks in order to finish the entire thing. Read More: Leaked skins and cosmetics found in Fortnite V6.20 files – Halloween theme continues! [Names and rarities] – In fact, the only exciting new challenge for this week seems to be the one that asks you to record a speed of 27 or more on different radar signs: Free Record a speed of 27 or more in front of different Radar Signs (0/5) – Jump through flaming hoops with a Shopping Cart or ATK (0/5) – Stage 1: Deal damage with Tactical Shotguns to opponents (0/200) Stage 2: Deal damage with Pump Shotguns to opponents (0/200) Stage 3: Deal damage with Heavy Shotguns to opponents (0/200) – Battle Pass Eliminate an opponent closer than 5m away (0/2) – Deal damage with SMGs to opponents (0/500) – Minigun Eliminations (0/2) – Stage 1: Deal damage with standard Pistols to opponents (0/200) Stage 2: Deal damage with Silenced Pistols to opponents (0/200) Stage 3: Deal damage with Handcannons to opponents (0/200) – Hunting Party Challenge The ongoing Hunting Party challenge returns for Week 5 of Season 6. This time there’s a secret Battle Star which can be found after completing all seven of the standard challenges. Check out our full guide on how to find it here. Record a speed of 27 or more in front of different radar signs We’re not entirely sure what speed each vehicle travels at on average, but we’re willing to bet that the easiest one to complete this challenge with will be the new Quadcrasher. Find out more about this challenge, including the locations for the various radar signs, here. Jump through flaming hoops with a shopping cart or ATK The flaming hoops challenge was one of the most enjoyable to ever be added to the game, so we’er pleased to see it return but sad that Quadcrashers are excluded. Check out our in-depth guide for all of the flaming hoop locations that you need to complete this challenge. Deal damage to opponents with tactical shotguns Shotguns might not be as powerful as they were in the past, but we’re still willing to bet that you’ll be able to get through this challenge fairly easily. As the first ‘stage’ challenge for the week, completing it will then move you the second stage where you’ll need to deal damage with pump shotguns. The final stage of this challenge will have you deal damage with heavy shotguns to close things out. Eliminate an opponent closer than 5 meters away We’ve seen challenges that ask you to eliminate an opponent from 50 meters away in the past, but this challenge would be completely different – and much easier on paper. Simply get close and personal, perhaps after landing at Tilted Towers, with a shotgun, and you’ll be laughing. Deal damage with SMGs to opponents Much like the shotgun damage challenge, this one will be pretty simple. With the power of submachine guns in Fortnite Battle Royale, getting this one done will involve little more than playing the game. Minigun eliminations Playing a 50 vs. 50 mode like Disco Domination will be the easiest way of completing this task. Miniguns can be extremely difficult to use, so giving yourself more opponents to shoot at will be make life easier. Deal damage with standard pistols to opponents You only need to deal a total of 200 damage to opponents to complete this one, but that won’t be the end of the challenge as it’s only the first of three stages. Dealing damage with standard pistols will move you to stage two where you’ll then have to deal damage with silenced pistols. The final stage of this challenge will then require you to deal damage with handcannons.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 3 challenges and how to complete them Believe it or not, Week 3 of Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is already upon us, and that means that the third set of weekly challenges are also set to go live. Weeks 1 and 2 provided players with three free challenges and four that were exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass, much like we saw throughout Season 5. The official Week 3 challenges have just gone live, and there are a few key differences to the ones that data miners leaked! The official Week 3, Season 6 challenges are as follows: Week 3 Hunting Party challenge which grants you a free Battle Pass tier when you collect the hidden Battle Star!As far as the two ‘stage’ challenges are concerned, we will need to wait until they officially go live to find out what is required after the first of those stages. The expected challenges are as follows: Free Challenges Revive a player in different matches (5) – Stage 1: Search a chest in Lonely Lodge (1) – Damage Trap Eliminations (1) HARD (No doorbell challenge after all!) – Battle Pass Challenges Stage 1: Visit Risky Reels and Wailing Woods in a single match (2) – Hit a player with a Tomato 15m away or more (1) – Complete timed trials (3) HARD (Not the shooting gallery that leaks suggested) – Eliminate an opponent in different matches (10) HARD – Cheat Sheet Map You can use the cheat sheet map provided by Fortnite content creator ‘thesquatingdog’ to help you find all of the locations where this week’s challenges can be completed, Revive a player in different matches For this challenge you’ll need some teammates! Play squad games, or even 50 vs 50 for more opportunities, and simply revive a player when they get dropped. Note that the challenge requires you to revive one player in five different matches, so only your first revive will count in each game. Stage 1: Search a chest in Lonely Lodge Everyone loves the stage challenges, but we can’t tell you a great deal about this one until it goes live so that we can see what the other stages involve. You may simply be asked to visit various areas to open more chests or the developers could decide to throw a curveball and give you a different type of task for each step. Damage Trap Eliminations This one is pretty simple, but completing it might take some time. If you’re clever with the way that you place traps, finding one kill should be easy. Putting one on the ceiling above a door in a busy area of the map is usually a good bet. Stage 1: Visit Risky Reels and Wailing Woods in a single match The first of the Battle Pass exclusive challenges! As this is another stage challenge, you’ll need to wait until they go live before finding out what the later steps entail. Hit a player with a tomato from 15m away or more Another interesting new challenge! If you simply need to hit a “player” your best bet will be to work with teammates and allow yourselves to be hit. However, if the challenge only applies to hitting opponents, this could prove to be one of the more difficult tasks this week. The Tomato is a toy item that cannot be unlocked until you reach Tier 28 of the Battle Pass. Once you get there, equip it and you’ll be able to throw it during games. Complete timed trials Timed trials were one of the more difficult challenge in Season 5 but Epic Games want you to complete some yet again! All of the locations for the time trials have been found and can be found below: Eliminate an opponent in different matches There’s no trickery to this one, you simply need to pick up one kill in a total of 10 different matches; something that you should be able to achieve as you play through the week. Even better, this is classed as a hard challenge, so you’ll get even more xp for completing it!

Fortnite Season 6, Week 4 challenges and how to complete them Week 4 of Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is here, and that means that the fourth set of weekly challenges have now officially gone live. The first three weeks provided players with three free challenges and four that were exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass, much like we saw throughout Season 5. The official Week 4 challenges went live on October 18, and they look to be identical to the ones leaked by @lucas7yoshi_ on Twitter. The official Season 6, Week 4 challenges can be viewed in the image below. Ring the doorbell of a house with an opponent inside (3) – HARDBattle Pass Challenges: Stage 1: Land at Greasy Grove (1) Stage 2: Land at Wailing Woods Stage 3: Land at Dusty Divot Stage 4: Land at Pleasant Park Stage 5: Land at Paradise Palms – Stage 1: Dance on top of a Clock Tower (1) Stage 2: Dance on top of a Pink Tree Stage 3: Dance on top of a Giant Porcelain Throne – Get a score of 3 or more at different Shooting Galleries (5) – HARD – Eliminate opponents near any of the Corrupted Areas (3) – HARD – Hunting Party Challenge The ongoing Hunting Party challenge returns for Week 4 of Season 6. This time there’s a secret Banner which can be found after completing all seven of the standard challenges. Check out our full guide on how to find it here. Use a Port-a-Fort or Port-a-Fortress in different matches Pretty simple – find a Port-a-Fort and use it (literally just throw it) five different times and you’ll earn yourself five battle stars! Search an Ammo Box in different named locations Easily one of the most boring challenges we’ve seen this season, all you’ll need to do is search an ammo box in any point of interest that is named on the map (Pleasant Park, Tilted Towers etc.) Ring the doorbell of a house with an opponent inside in different matches Every Doorbell location on the Fortnite map This was a leaked challenge from Week 3 that never materialized. Ringing doorbells was never an option in Fortnite previously, but they’ve now started to appear around the map and you simply need to interact with them. Your best bet is to head to a high traffic area with a lot of houses and wait for another player to enter one of the buildings with a doorbell. Remember you can only ring one doorbell per match, so you’ll need a minimum of three games to complete this one. Check out our full guide here. Stage 1: Land at Greasy Grove For this challenge, all you’ll need to do is land at Greasy Grove in a game, followed by Wailing Woods, then Dusty Divot, then Pleasant Park, and finally Paradise Palms. You can’t simply land, return to the lobby, and then start another game. Make sure you’re eliminated before leaving. Stage 1: Dance on top of a Clock Tower Another super simple task – begin by landing on the large clock in Tilted Towers and use one of your dance emotes. Next, head to Lucky Landing and dance on the pink tree, and finally head to Flush Factory and dance on the giant toilet! A map with all three locations marked can be seen below, courtesy of Fortnite Intel. in-depth guide, along with a map showing all Shooting Gallery locations, here.Eliminate opponents near any of the Corrupted Areas This is another fairly straightforward task – simply head to any of the large purple runes left by the cube in Season 5 and attempt to fight other players. You can almost guarantee that all of the corrupted areas will be extremely busy as everyone rushed to complete the challenges, so make sure you have some loot and materials before you arrive.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 2 challenges and how to complete them The first week of Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is officially behind us, and that can mean only one thing: the Week 2 challenges are upon us. Week 1 provided players with three free challenges and four that were exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass, much like we saw throughout Season 5. The official Week 2 challenges went live on October 4 and follow the same format. They are also the easiest set of challenges that we have seen in quite some time. You can see the full list in the image below. If you’re not sure where those runes are, take a look at the map below: You can find out how to complete it and find the hidden banner by following our tutorial here.Using three Shadow Stones is as easy as it sounds – find three Shadow Stones and consume them. Eliminating an enemy from 50 metres or more away should also be fairly easy to complete. We’d advise using a sniper and trying to find some long range engagements, just to be safe. Dealing damage with pistols and getting kills with submachine guns should be possible over the course of a few matches, just try to use weapons from those classes whenever possible.

Fortnite Season 6, Week 10 challenges and how to complete them Believe it or not, Season 6 in Fortnite Battle Royale is coming to an end very soon, and Week 10 – the final week of the season – is upon us! With that in mind, here is the final set of challenges for the season! Week 10 will once again provide players with three free challenges and four that are exclusive to owners of the Season 6 Battle Pass. The official Week 10 challenges went live on November 29 and are identical to the ones that data miners leaked on November 28. Epic Games have been known to switch some challenges out at the last minute during Season 6, so we were half expecting a similar story for Week 10. However, we were wrong and the official challenges can be viewed in the image below: The only challenge that really catches our eye is the timed trials with vehicles – stay tuned for more information on that. The challenges are as follows: Free Pass Challenges Build Structures (250) – Visit a Viking ship, a camel and a crashed Battle Bus (3) – Search Chests at Tilted Towers or Paradise Palms (7)(HARD) – Battle Pass Challenges Place Mounted Turrets in different matches (3) – Stage 1: Land at Lazy Links (1) Stage 2: Land at Snobby Shores Stage 3: Land at Lucky Landing Stage 4: Land at Lonely Lodge Stage 5: Land at Salty Springs – Complete vehicle timed trials (3) (HARD) – Stage 1: Shotgun Elimination (1) (HARD) Stage 2: Assault Rifle Elimination Stage 3: Pistol Elimination – You can find a map with the locations below. You can open chests and either location and take as long as you want about it, so we’d advise simply landing at Tilted or Paradise a few times and going from there. Place Mounted Turrets in different matches The Mounted Turret is probably the least popular addition to Fortnite in the game’s history, but the developers have worked tirelessly to nerf it and make it more balanced. Either way, don’t expect to be the most popular player in the server on any of the three occasions where you use one! Stage 1: Land at Lazy Links The stage challenges have been some of the most popular in Season 6 due to the fact that you can see yourself progressing through them. After landing at Lazy Links, you’ll need to land at Snobby Shores, then Lucky Landing, then Lonely Lodge, before finally landing at Salty Springs. Complete vehicle timed trials These timed trials are very similar to the previous ones, just with vehicles instead of running. You can use any of the vehicles in the game, but you’ll need to be quick! Here are all of the locations: Stage 1: Shotgun Elimination After getting an elimination with a shotgun, you’ll need to get one with an assault rifle and one with a pistol. You don’t need to complete all stages in one game, so simply playing as normal should be enough for you to get it done before Season 7 rolls around.

Fortnite Season 6 to begin on March 16 as Zero Crisis Finale event details revealed Epic GamesEpic Games have revealed details about Fortnite Season 6, including when it will begin and the major Zero Crisis Finale event players will get to experience. With Fortnite Season 5 slowly coming to an end after three long months of bounty hunter action and pop-culture crossovers, Epic Games have confirmed that the highly-anticipated Season 6 will arrive on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. Unlike previous seasons, there won’t be a big live finale event to close out Season 5. Instead, Epic are switching things up by launching Season 6 with an “explosive” solo event called the Zero Crisis Finale. Fortnite announces Zero Crisis Finale event When players first launch the game after Season 6 kicks off on Tuesday, March 16, they’ll play through the conclusion of Agent Jonesy’s mission to secure The Loop and stop anyone from escaping The Island. The Zero Crisis Finale is a solo experience and can be played whenever you first log into the game. This means players won’t have to worry about missing out on a time-specific finale event like in previous seasons. Epic have promised that the aftermath of this event will “shape Reality as we know it”, so expect to see some pretty big changes on The Island going into Season 6. Fans will also be able to watch the global premiere of the Zero Crisis Finale online, with details coming soon. It’s set to include the game’s “most ambitious story cinematic yet”. Gold Bars will reset in Fortnite Season 6 Epic are encouraging players to spend all of their Gold Bars before Season 6 begins, with all Exotic weapons that can be bought from NPCs on The Island now being sold with heavy discounts. You can see the original prices and the new prices of all Exotic weapons below: The Dub: 600 to 350 Bars – Storm Scout Sniper: 500 to 300 Bars – Boom Sniper: 600 to 350 Bars – Shadow Tracker: 400 to 250 Bars – Night Hawk: 400 to 250 Bars – Dragon’s Breath Sniper: 500 to 300 Bars – Hop Rock Dualies: 500 to 300 Bars – Burst Quad Launcher: 600 to 250 Bars – Chug Cannon: 600 to 350 Bars – The Big Chill: 400 to 250 Bars – It’s been confirmed that the popular in-game currency – which made its debut in Season 5 – will indeed return in Season 6, but players will lose any Gold Bars they currently have and start fresh. Also, with the Season 5 Battle Pass expiring on March 15, 2021, players now have a week to grind for XP if they want to max out their Battle Pass and unlock all of the skins and cosmetics before that date.

Fortnite Season 6 trailer was directed by Avengers’ Russo Brothers Epic GamesIt’s now been revealed that the Russo Brothers of Avengers Infinity War and Endgame fame were directly involved with the creation of Fortnite Season 6’s opening cutscene, which blew away fans with its amazing action and graphics. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 is finally here, and it brought along with it a slew of new weapons, features, map changes, and more. But before players players could sink their teeth into anything the season had to offer, they had to experience a new opening cutscene and single-player level. Fans were immediately blown away by the cutscene, with most agreeing that it outdid any other cutscene the game has featured over the course of the past several years – and now, it all makes sense as to why. According to Variety, Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind the massively successful Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, had a huge part in the cutscene. Not only did they direct the 3-minute long video, they also wrote and storyboarded it. In addition to that, Variety also confirms that the Russo Brothers were also involved in some of the “character setup” for the upcoming season, although what that exactly means isn’t clear at this point in time. The Russo Brothers and Fortnite have a long history together. They have confirmed in the past that they’re fans of the game, and were even part of the driving force behind its first major crossover, which involved Thanos and Infinity War film, and eventually led to another event for Endgame’s release. As far as fans are aware, this is the first major director to be involved with the creation of a Fortnite cutscene – but here’s hoping it won’t be the last. Since the game is already known for its insane crossovers, it wouldn’t be too crazy if the opening cutscene every season was directed by a major Hollywood filmmaker. Of course, that’s all speculation, and Donald Mustard, nor anyone at Epic Games, have confirmed whether or not this is one-time thing or if it’s something that they want to try out more in the future.

When does Fortnite Season 6 start? Release date, Season 5 live event, leaks Epic GamesAs fans look ahead to Fortnite Season 6, we’ve got everything you need to know about the next update including a release date and the biggest rumors. Fortnite Season 5 dropped on December 2, 2021, and introduced a ton of changes to The Island including an exposed Zero Point, crossovers with The Mandalorian and The Walking Dead, a new type of currency called Gold Bars, and a series of Exotic weapons. While the update has been well-received by existing fans and has brought many former players back to the game, attention is now turning to the upcoming Season 6 update, which will no doubt bring a whole host of exciting features to the game. We’ve scoured the internet for every rumor, leak, and theory about what Fortnite Season 6 has in store for us, including potential themes and when fans can expect it to arrive on their PC or consoles. When does Fortnite Season 5 end? It’s been confirmed that Fortnite Season 5 will finish on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 12 AM ET | 4 AM GMT, which is when downtime will begin ahead of Season 6. While some recent seasons have been extended multiple weeks beyond their original end date to allow Epic more time to perfect their next update, it’s now been announced that won’t happen this time around. The official Fortnite website explains that players will need to complete the current season’s Battle Pass by March 15, 2021, meaning Season 5 will also come to an end on that day to make room for Season 6. When does Fortnite Season 6 start? Epic Games have confirmed that Fortnite Season 6 will begin on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. It’s likely that downtime will end at 4 AM ET | 8 AM GMT, which is when the Season 6 cinematic premieres. It’s also been revealed that the new season will officially kick off with the Zero Crisis Finale, an exciting solo event that all players can experience the first time they log in to the game after Season 6 begins. While there will be some downtime between seasons, it’s unlikely there will be a major Black Hole event like previous seasons. Fortnite Zero Crisis Finale event details While previous Fortnite seasons have ended with huge live events including a boss fight with Marvel villain Galactus and a devastating Mecha v Monster battle, Epic Games are breaking tradition with Season 6. Instead of ending Season 5 with a live event, they’re kicking off Season 6 with a solo experience called the Zero Crisis Finale. It will bring an end to the events of Season 5, and conclude Agent Jonesy’s mission. Epic have promised the event will feature the game’s “most ambitious story cinematic yet” and that the aftermath will “shape Reality as we know it”, so expect to see some pretty big changes going into Season 6. Teasing for the event has already begun. Starting with the v15.50 patch update that went live on March 2, the Zero Point is turning purple, becoming severely cracked, and emitting some very unusual sounds. What will the Fortnite Season 6 theme be? We won’t truly know the theme of Chapter 2 Season 6 until it launches, but fans already have many predictions and theories about what could happen in the new season of Fortnite. One of the biggest rumors is that Chapter 2 Season 6 will reimagine the Darkness theme from Chapter 1 Season 6. This would likely mean a comeback for Kevin the Cube, the mysterious purple object that once caused mayhem on The Island. It’s a theory that’s backed up by popular YouTuber Ali-A, who pointed out that each season in Chapter 2 is mimicking its corresponding season in Chapter 1. For example, Chapter 1 Season 4 was superhero-themed, while Chapter 2 Season 4 focused on Marvel superheroes and villains. Elsewhere, a newly-announced collaboration between DC Comics and Fortnite has also led to speculation that a DC-themed Battle Pass could be on the way, as it’s been confirmed that events that happen in a new series of comic books will affect what happens in Season 6. Meanwhile, a rather interesting leak appears to have hinted at NPC drivers and boss vehicles. Could we see those make their debut in Season 6? We’ll have to wait and see… What new weapons and skins will be in Season 6? As with every other season of Fortnite, Chapter 2 Season 6 will bring with it a new Battle Pass that will offer a number of skins, back blings, gliders, and wraps for players to unlock as they progress. We don’t know what they’ll be yet, but given the high-profile nature of recent skins, with the likes of The Mandalorian and Marvel/DC superheroes showing up, we’d expect at least one major crossover to launch the season. A new Gaming Legends series of skins was introduced in Season 5, with Halo’s Master Chief and God of War’s Kratos joining the battle. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for more in Season 6, like the rumored Samus Aran. As for weapons, it’s been confirmed that Gold Bars will appear in Season 6, so we’ll have to wait and see whether Exotic-class additions like the Shadow Tracker Pistol and The Dub will carry across or if there will be a whole new selection to choose from. Is there a trailer for Season 6? There’s no trailer for Fortnite Season 6 yet, as that usually arrives on the day of the new season update. Epic Games have shared a few intriguing teaser clips, though, which have given away a few key details. He’s given everything to the Order… and for what? 3.16.2021. #FortniteSeason6 pic.twitter.com/vP0tZytkaU — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) March 13, 2021 It appears that the Save The World shotgun ‘Black Drum’ will be coming to Battle Royale, while the image of a wolf’s mouth appears to confirm previous leaks about wolf NPC enemies appearing on The Island. Elsewhere in the teaser, players have noticed what looks like the jersey of Brazilian football star Neymar Jr, as well as the 2014 World Cup football, leading to speculation that he’ll get his own skin in the game.

Fortnite Season 6 should be a turning point for crossovers Epic GamesFortnite quickly became the king of pop-culture crossovers, and it’s clearly a successful business plan for creators Epic Games. But these quick bites of hype are coming at the expense of the game’s long-term quality. Crossovers are certainly nothing new in the world of Fortnite. For a long time, it was exciting to see your favorite TV shows or comic books join forces with what is undeniably one of the world’s most popular video games. Whether it was a limited-time mission inspired by Marvel supervillain Thanos, or a Demogorgon skin from Stranger Things, there was something to get everyone hyped, and they fit rather nicely into the battle royale genre – even if they did look a little odd alongside the likes of Peely and Fishstick. Things began to get a little more divisive when the hyped-up Star Wars live event in Chapter 2 Season 1 delivered little more than a trailer for the movie Rise of Skywalker, leaving fans disappointed with the lack of actual gameplay. Then, Chapter 2 Season 4 dialed things up to 100, becoming what was essentially one big advertisement for Marvel Comics, with a Battle Pass that exclusively featured the brand’s most famous characters as unlockable skins and a map overhaul with superhero-themed locations. For Marvel fans, this collaboration was a dream come true, and in many ways, the season acted as a stand-in for the Avengers game they deserved but never got. It allowed them to watch their favorite Marvel icons including Storm and Venom duke it out, while the special powers like Iron Man’s Unibeam were a fun addition. But for players who weren’t Marvel fans? Well, it meant four long months of almost nothing else to enjoy, and that Fortnite magic got a little lost along the way. Chapter 2 Season 5 initially seemed to buck the trend with only one major crossover at launch, the well-received Mandalorian, and a slew of original characters. But as the season played out, it became pretty clear that the ‘bounty hunter’ theme was pretty much an excuse to cram as many pop-culture crossovers into the game as possible. In the space of three months, high-profile franchises including God of War, Halo, The Terminator, Street Fighter, Predator, Alien, G.I. Joe, The Walking Dead, and even TRON all ended up tied into the Fortnite multiverse. As for the game’s actual story? Well, there hasn’t been much – if any – of that in recent seasons. Players have been craving a backstory for the recently-introduced Imagined Order, an explanation of The Island’s mysterious hidden bunkers, and for the remaining members of the longstanding organization known as The Seven to be revealed. Unfortunately, they’re still waiting, and it’s beginning to feel like Epic is more concerned with mass-producing crossovers than crafting original Fortnite stories. When Fortnite’s own characters are more intriguing than gaming icons like Master Chief and Chun-Li, it highlights one of the biggest issues with these crossovers: The core game just doesn’t benefit from having them around. Compared to a series like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which handles its many crossovers with incredible attention to detail in a way that really affects the game’s meta, Fortnite feels a little cheap. Characters like Marvel’s Deadpool, for example, are so well-known for their charisma and witty dialogue that seeing them reduced to a generic costume which – for the most part – behaves in the same way as every other skin in the game, well… it simply doesn’t do them justice. There is some hope on the horizon, though. With Season 6 arriving imminently, Epic have announced a series of Zero Point comic books that will merge the world of Fortnite with DC Comics. The news was met with concern from gamers who worried the entire season would be DC-themed, but it doesn’t look like that will be the case. Instead, it’s been revealed that the storyline of the comics will have a direct impact on in-game events and Fortnite lore, with Batman, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman leading the charge. Read More: 10 of the best Fortnite Creative map codes – This sounds exactly like the level of respect that Fortnite needs to give its collaborations, and marks a step in the right direction towards giving these high-profile franchises some actual substance and significance in the Fortnite multiverse. After all, most of the characters that have crossed over to Fortnite have a long and beloved history, and they (and their fans) deserve more than a quick cash grab cameo; hopefully, Season 6’s DC Comics collaboration will set a new precedent for quality over quantity. Nobody is asking for Fortnite to cut out the crossovers entirely – and most don’t want them to, either. They offer a fun addition to the game for those that enjoy them. But if Epic want to keep everyone happy, they must strike a balance between relevant pop-culture cameos and a return to Fortnite lore going forward.

Fortnite Season 6 update patch notes: Weapon crafting, Wolves, Bunker Chests, new POIs Epic GamesFortnite’s Season 6 update has arrived, and there are some major changes. From new POIs and the unvaulted Pump Shotgun, to new weapons and tameable wolves appearing on The Island, here’s what players can expect to see in patch v16.00. After three months of bounty hunting, pop-culture crossovers spanning Star Wars, Hollywood, and other video games, and plenty more, Season 5 is finally bowing out to make way for the highly-anticipated Season 6 update. The new Fortnite season is set to shake up the battle royale all over again. Jonesy, the now-nailed-on protagonist of the series, will be taking on the Zero Crisis Finale in a season-starting event. After that cataclysmic event, Fortnite players will find themselves battling on a changed island, taming wolves, and wielding iconic Save The World weapons in a new ‘primal’ world. While Epic Games has become notorious for not releasing patch notes for their big changes, we’ve made sure to get all the juicy details together for you. Here’s everything we know about Fortnite Season 6. Fortnite Season 6 patch notes Zero Crisis Finale event When players first load up Fortnite after Season 6 begins, they’ll take part in a solo experience called the Zero Crisis Finale. It’s a one-off event that will conclude the events that happened during Season 5. Players will work alongside Agent Jonesy as he turns against the Imagined Order and joins forces with a member of the mysterious organization The Seven in an attempt to stop the Zero Point from destabilizing. Epic will also be streaming the Zero Crisis Finale event online here. Fortnite Season 6 theme — “Primal” The new Fortnite season theme has officially been confirmed: Primal. This makes sense too, considering we’re seeing crossovers like Lara Croft, hunting weapons, and new tameable NPC wolves (see below). The Season 6 battle pass also shows chunks of the island changed into prehistoric areas, and characters with bows, Black Metal weapons, and using magic. Everything has come down to this. Agent Jones is putting a stop to it. Play through the Zero Crisis Finale in-game now. #FortnitePrimal pic.twitter.com/S8i1HlE03f — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) March 16, 2021 Crafting weapons One of the biggest new features in Fortnite Season 6 is one that’s been rumored for a long time now: Weapon customization. Fitting with the Primal theme, players can collect resources like animal bones as well as ‘technology untouched by the pulse’ to craft new upgrades for the weapons they find around The Island. You’ll be able to use resourced to craft primal weapons like the Primal Rifle, classic weapons like the Revolver, and powerful new bows like the Flame Bow and Metal Bow. Pump Shotgun returns: All vaults & unvaults Several popular weapons including the Lever Action Rifle have been vaulted at the beginning of Fortnite Season 6, which is most likely to make way for new weapons as well as the new weapon crafting feature. Vaulted weapons Suppressed SMG – Dragon’s Breath Shotgun (Epic/Legendary) – Tactical Shotgun – Charge Shotgun – Lever Action Shotgun – Lever Action Rifle (Uncommon/Rare/Epic) – Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle (Rare/Epic/Legendary) – Heavy Assault Rifle (All) – Pistol (All) – Common Assault Rifle – Perhaps the biggest weapon news is the return of the fan-favorite Pump Shotgun. The super-popular close-quarters gun has been absent since v15.00, but is being unleashed again heading into Season 6. Unvaulted weapons Pump Shotgun (Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary) – Revolver (All) – It’s likely that more weapons will get vaulted and unvaulted as Season 6 progresses, so make the most of the current lineup while you can. Magazine sizes nerfed According to VastBlastt, gun magazine sizes have been nerfed across the board. Heading into Season 6 all weapons boasted the same magazine size — 999 — with ammo reserves very rarely playing a part in Fortnite combat. That may change this season, however, with changes for all guns. Shells: 999 ⇒ 150 – Light Bullets: 999 ⇒ 500. – Medium Bullets: 999 ⇒ 500. – Heavy Bullets: 999 ⇒ 50. – Season 6 map changes: The Spire, Colossal Crops, more The Zero Crisis Finale event appears to have changed The Island in Fortnite Season 6. A top-down look at the updated battle royale arena shows a number of new Primal-themed POIs littered around. These include The Spire, which has been placed right at the heart of the island, and Colossal Crops to the north. There’s also a new southern POI, titled Primal Pond, which has replaced Hunter’s Haven. One last new POI, called Boney Burbs, has appeared but is not marked on the map. The Spire Colossal Crops Primal Pond The new map also has a number of Guardians that will appear across the map. These are NPC bosses that will patrol their chosen area, and will likely play a role in Fortnite lore as the season progresses. Like bosses The Mandalorian and Predator that appeared in previous seasons, they’re very powerful and each one has its own special powers like teleportation, so they’ll be incredibly difficult to take down. Here are all the new Guardians added in Fortnite Season 6: Guardian of the Bay – Guardian of the Woods – Guardian of the Lake – Guardian of the Mountains – Guardian of the Fields – Guardian of the Sea – Season 6 Map With Names! (via @VastBlastt) pic.twitter.com/m4Y3ZHwqoU — HYPEX (@HYPEX) March 16, 2021 Tamable Wolves added on the Island Fortnite’s March 16 update has added tamable pets for the first time in the game’s history. First leaked back in December 2020, wolves have seemingly been in the pipeline for quite some time. Now, after teasers from Epic Games as well, they’re finally in the game. “Tamable wolves are confirmed to be in this season,” prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX shared on Twitter. This means players will be able to tame their own pets while traveling the map. Wolves could be hostile at first, but after taming them, they might even fight beside you. Read More: Fortnite adds tamable pets in Season 6 – Alongside the new wolves, three other animals were also highlights: Chickens, Frogs, and Boars. These can also help players out. Chickens, for example, can be used to float like in classic series The Legend of Zelda. Tamable wolves are confirmed to be in this season, also new Chickens, Frogs & Boars! — HYPEX (@HYPEX) March 16, 2021 Bunker Chests It seems a few thrify characters on The Island were well-prepared for the Zero Point destroying parts of The Island, as they left behind a number of Bunker Chests containing rare items. These desirable chests can be found scattered around the map, and will contain powerful weapons ranging from Rare to Legendary, including Rocket Launchers. As the season progresses, new weapons and upgrades will start to appear in the Bunker Chests, including a new Chonkers Tire Set that will let you “tear it up off-road”. Sounds like a vehicle mod to us. Neymar Jr. is coming to Fortnite There’s one more planned, very much star-studded crossover coming in Season 6 as well — according to recent teasers, Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. will be joining the Fortnite universe in some way. The teaser clip features images of Neymar’s number 10 jersey and what appears to be the 2014 World Cup football. This was all solidified when Neymar himself retweeted the teaser alongside the side-eyes emoji. Read More: How to get Neymar skin in Fortnite – Our best guess is that Neymar Jr. will get his own skin in the game, which could either appear in the Item Shop or be unlockable with the new season’s Battle Pass. Who knows, he might even end up being a boss fight… Fortnite patch v16.00 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite dev team will also ship a few bug fixes, as documented on the official Trello board. This patch only has a few solved issues, including for Battle Royale, Save the World, and Creative modes. Here is the full list of bug fixes coming in Season 6: General Balloons item temporarily disabled. – Unable to edit color Styles for the Phantasmic Pulse Pickaxe in the Locker. – Battle Royale Inventory menu selector appearing on multiple slots. – Creative Mode Pressing the default key in pre-game lobby starts the game. – Main Player rift can sometimes show as a Seasonal Rift. – Save The World The Val Defender doesn’t have perks when unlocked from the Valor Questline. – Keep up to date with the latest Season 6 news, leaks, and guides over on our Fortnite Season 6 live hub.

Fortnite Season 6 glitch is giving some players unlimited health Epic GamesWhile Season 6 of Fortnite has already had its fair share of bugs and glitches, a brand-new issue is allowing players to get unlimited health by completing a few key steps. While it doesn’t completely break the game, it will give whoever uses it a crazy advantage. Exploits and bugs are nothing new in Fortnite Season 6. Just a few days after the season went live, a player discovered a way to get unlimited gold by completing certain quests. Now, that same player has uncovered a glitch that gives players unlimited health if they play their cards right. The glitch comes from YouTuber ‘OrangeGuy,’ who has leaked a ton of Fortnite exploits and glitches in the past. According to them, it involves three things: the mushrooms that be found on the ground and in crates, a Port-A-Potty to hide in, and another player in your party. Normally, mushrooms heal around 5 health/shields slowly, acting similar to a very small Slurp Juice in the past. This glitch however, essentially causes the mushroom to heal you an unlimited amount. Even if you take damage at max health, the mushroom will continue to heal you. The glitch itself involves players healing themselves with a mushroom, jumping into a Port-A-Potty and breaking it at the right time. Once you do that, you’ll notice your health slowly creep up until it’s at max health. It’s unknown what, if anything, can be done to stop you from auto-healing, which means it’s a pretty insane glitch. While you’ll still run the risk of being taken down from a dedicated player with enough ammo, this bug will certainly make it way harder to do. Because of this – and how quickly Epic has stopped glitches and exploits in the past – it’s honestly only a matter of time before this either gets fixed or one of the items gets removed from the game temporarily. No announcement has been made about any removal, however, as of the time of this writing.

Fortnite Jurassic World crossover hints leaked with dinosaurs coming soon Epic Games / Universal PicturesEven though Fortnite Season 6 has just been released to the world, we already have some leaks about what might be added to the game during the course of the season, including the possibility of wild dinosaurs and velociraptors roaming around the map. Season 6 of Fortnite Chapter 2 is finally here after months of anticipation and fans are diving into the Primal-themed season. Everything included in this season has some sort of “wild” theme, whether it be the animal bone-style weapons or the tomb raiding Lara Croft. While fans still haven’t had enough time to find everything Season 6 has to offer, we already know that roaming dinosaurs could be coming to The Island in the near future thanks to new information from prominent Fortnite leakers. We could possibly see Raptors getting added in the future als wildlife. “”A wild Raptor eliminated {PlayerName}”” “”A wild Raptor knocked out {PlayerName}””There is also an Egg in the files related to wildlife 👀 pic.twitter.com/6Nnj1jqbAx — FortTory – Fortnite leaks & news (@FortTory) March 16, 2021 Dinosaurs could be coming to Fortnite The first leak comes from dataminer FortTory on Twitter, who revealed that there are strings referencing Raptors. Specifically, the lines included are “A wild Raptor eliminated {PlayerName}” and “A wild Raptor knocked out {PlayerName}”, which is pretty specific to say the least. It’s also been shared that these Raptors will appear in the Forest, and will be hostile when they spot players just like Wolves and Boars. Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey has also tweeted that the Raptors will be tameable, so players can use them as allies. While it’s always important to take leaks and rumors with a grain of salt, this would line up perfectly with the rest of the season. Animals have already been introduced to the game in the form of Wolves and Boars, and dinosaurs have already been hinted at with one of the characters in the Battle Pass. Tarana’s items and outfits, which are unlocked between Tiers 23 and 37 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, are all dinosaur-themed in one way or another. Her Tier 37 outfit even appears to feature a Raptor skull on her head. Egg teasers on the Fortnite Island? While the leaks referencing dinos from both FortTory and iFireMonkey are pretty strong pieces of evidence that they will be coming to the battle royale title, Epic Games has now gotten in on the fun as well. In their Season 6 tips article that was released on March 22, Epic Games made reference to eggs on the island and stated that “don’t want to touch that one yet”. They also said that players “should stay away too” while referring to eggs. Then, on March 23, players saw just what Epic was referring to when the eggs on the map cracked open slightly and players reportedly started hearing heartbeats when going near them. Beyond that, however, the eggs currently do nothing but they probably won’t remain that way for long. The raptor eggs are now starting to crack and you can hear a heartbeat! (Thanks to @FNinformation for the video!) pic.twitter.com/TYOQgjMihr — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) March 23, 2021 Given how quickly the situation is changing with the eggs, players will probably know more about them in the very near future. Is Fortnite getting a Jurassic World crossover? With the theme of Season 6 being Primal, the Battle Pass featuring a dinosaur-themed Tarana outfit, and now leaks about Raptors roaming The Island, many players have speculated that a Jurassic World crossover could be in the works. When the jungle-themed POI Stealthy Stronghold appeared in Season 5, it was originally believed by some to be a Jurassic Park location. It turned out it was actually created for Predator, but there’s no reason it can’t now be used for dinosaurs in Season 6.

How to complete Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenges Epic GamesFortnite Season 5 is quickly coming to a close, with the battle pass set to expire on March 15. That means you only have a few weeks to keep on grinding for all those skins and other rewards. Thankfully, a new set of challenges are out, ready for you to play. We don’t mean to alarm you, but Fortnite Season 5 is more than halfway through now, which means you’ll have to get a wriggle on with your missions if you want to complete the battle pass — in case you already haven’t. Week 7’s set of challenges are out, taking players to Slurpy Swamp and Holly Hedges, and playing around the shields they find along the way. Here’s what you need to do. Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 quests Visit Houses in Slurpy Swamp in One Match (3) – Collect Books from Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands (5) – Consume Shield Potions (3) – Destroy Slurp Barrels (10) – Search Chests in Slurpy Swamp (7) – Gain Max Shields in a Single Match (1) – Eliminations with Zero Shields (1) – Each of these challenges is worth 20,000 XP, adding up to 140,000 XP total. It’ll be a handy boost for players who are still gunning for Tier 100 and that Mandalorian alt skin. These Epic Quests are active until the end of the event, but there’s another Legendary Quest you’ll need to complete this week. Gather your friends, because you’re going to need to do damage from vehicles. Read More: How to disable pre-edits in Fortnite – This will be a lot easier in a group, where you can have someone driving — or flying — around, giving you free reign to beam your opponents. Damage Opponents in Vehicles: 500 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 – Each tier is worth 22,000 XP, totaling 110,000 XP if you reach 2,500 damage, and 250,000 XP for the week if you complete all the challenges. You have until January 21 to complete that Legendary Quest before the Week 8 challenges come along, so good luck!

What’s in the Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass? All tiers and rewards Epic GamesFortnite Season 6 is here and so too is the all-new Battle Pass for the next few months. From unique skins to exclusive emotes you can’t grab anywhere else, here’s an overview of everything on offer. After a season filled to the brim with major crossovers, Fortnite Season 6 is now here to try and top it. As with every major update, a new season means a new Battle Pass and this time around is no different. You’ll have a few months to unlock everything on offer as per usual. Though if you’re looking to get ahead of the curve with new items, the Battle Pass is your best place to do so. From how much the Season 6 Battle Pass costs, to everything included, here’s our complete rundown. How much is the Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass? Just like previous seasons, the latest Fortnite Battle Pass comes at a familiar cost. As always, you’ve got two options when it comes to progressing through the tiers in Season 6. There’s the free path anyone can enjoy just by playing and earning experience. You’ll be able to unlock a few items without having to pay. On the other hand, there’s a premium option with more rewards. For 950 V-Bucks (roughly $10), you’ll have access to the paid version of the Battle Pass. Alternatively, for 2,800 V-Bucks (roughly $25), you can purchase a bigger bundle that instantly skips the first 25 tiers. What’s included in the Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass? The Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass kicks off with none other than Agent Jones in his stylish suit. Just 15 tiers in and the first major crossover becomes available. Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider franchise is exclusive to the new Battle Pass, alongside a handful of cosmetics from the franchise and a Classic variant of the skin. At tier 61 is one of the more unique items available this season: A human-sized chicken skin known as Cluck can be equipped from this point on. This new design also comes with a few unique variants throughout the Battle Pass. The next crossover brings Raven of DC Comics fame into Fortnite. Unlocked at tier 72, the hooded Teen Titans figure comes along with her own unique sprays, loading screens, and plenty more. Season 6 Battle Pass Tiers & Rewards The Season 6 Battle Pass is full of exclusive content on every page. From a variety of skins like Lara Croft and the Spire Assassin to plenty of free V-Bucks and everything in between.

How to complete Fortnite Season 5 Week 4 challenges Epic GamesA new week, a new set of challenges for Fortnite Season 5. The season continues to crank on, and there’s plenty of XP on offer to help you complete your battle pass for all those sweet rewards. The battle pass grind in Fortnite continues in Season 5. With all the new crossover content, it’s easy to see why this season is yet again worth another chunk of your time to complete. If you’re struggling to get through it all, or if you just want another hit of XP to reach that elusive next tier, we’ve got you covered with the newest set of challenges in Week 4. Fortnite Season 5 Week 4 challenges The weekly challenges in Season 5 are pretty straightforward for the most part. The quests don’t expire, and can usually be pulled off in a game or two. This is especially true for Week 4. All you need to do is get some eliminations — one up close, one while low on health, and one while fully medded up. Then, you need to hit some boxes and enemies with your pickaxe, and finally go get some tomatoes and dance. This means dropping near Pizza Pit could be the way to go. If things fall in your favor, you could have all the challenges completed within a couple of minutes. Each of these will give you 20,000 XP — 140,000 all up — so it’s definitely worth doing. Eliminations within 5m (1) – Eliminations while below 50 health (1) – Eliminations at full health and shields (1) – Destroy enemy structures with a pickaxe (10) – Damage opponents with a pickaxe (100) – Collect a tomato basket from a nearby farm – Ignite and dance at a Tomato Shrine near Pizza Pit or Pizza Food Truck – Plus, there’s also the timed challenge you have to worry about. Thankfully, it’s not the hardest of them. All you have to do is build up and deal damage from above. Damage from above: 4,000 / 8,000 / 12,000 / 16,000 / 20,000 – This will take you quite a few games to do, but if you jump into some Team Rumbles, you can blaze through them pretty quickly. Each stage of this timed challenge is worth 22,000 XP, for a grand total of 110,000. That makes all of Week 4’s missions worth 250,000 XP. You have until December 30 to complete the timed challenge, so good luck!

Fortnite Season 5 Week 14 challenges: How to complete all quests Epic GamesFortnite’s Season 5 Week 14 challenges have arrived, and it’s a mixed bag of quests with a small focus on driving. Here’s how to complete them all easily. With only a couple of weeks to go until Season 5 comes to an end on March 15, 2021, gamers don’t have long to reach Level 250 of their Battle Pass and unlock all of those elusive Sapphire, Topaz, and Zero Point enlightened skins. Fortunately, the Week 14 challenges have arrived for an XP boost. There’s a loose theme, and that’s cars. As Fortnite players will no doubt be aware, vehicles have a tendency to massively bug out in the game, but these quests seem pretty easy so that hopefully won’t be too much of a problem. All of these challenges go live on Thursday, March 4, 2021 at 9AM ET. There are a total of seven Epic quests worth a massive 40,000 XP each, as well as one big Legendary quest that will earn you a massive chunk of XP when completed. Fortnite Season 5 Week 14 Epic quests Collect Cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs (4) – Harvest fruits and vegetables (8) – Earn Bars to hire a Character (150) – Visit different restaurant kitchens (2) – Drive a vehicle from Sweaty Sands to Pleasant Park (1) – Drop off a vehicle at the gas station in Lazy Lake or Catty Corner (1) – Drive a vehicle from Pleasant Park to Lazy Lake (1) – Collecting four Cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs might be the most difficult quest this week, as it will require you to do some hunting at the named locations. We’ve got a Cookbook location guide to help you out. You can harvest fruits and vegetables from the Orchard Farmers Market, which can be found just north of Colossal Coliseum. We’ve got a handy guide to earning more Gold Bars in Fortnite which should help you complete the next quest. To visit restaurant kitchens, head to Sticks at Craggy Cliffs then Pizza Pit just northeast of Colossal Coliseum, as they’re within walking distance of each other. There’s also Durrr Burger southeast of Holly Hedges and Butter Barn north of Hunter’s Haven if you prefer them. Finally, we have three driving quests. All of these challenges are pretty self-explanatory, so we won’t go into too much detail. Simply land at the named start location, find any car, and drive it to your destination. Fortnite Season 5 Week 14 Legendary quest Damage opponents at greater than 50 meters away (1000/2000/3000/4000/5000) – This week’s Legendary quest is a bit harder than previous ones, especially if you’re not very good with long-distance weapons. Players will need to deal a grand total of 5,000 damage to opponents at more than 50 meters distance to earn the max amount of XP. You may be tempted to go straight for a classic sniper rifle, which makes sense as these are the best for long-distance combat. The Mandalorian’s Amban Sniper would be excellent for this, but a Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle will do. Read More: Fortnite female Midas skin MariGold leaked – However, if you’re not very good with a scope, try using the commonly-found Lever Action Rifle. It will still reach opponents at long distances, but it uses more traditional aiming which may be more comfortable for some players. Remember, you’ll only have until Thursday, March 11, 2021, to complete all of these quests before the Week 15 challenges arrive.

Fortnite Season 5 Week 15 challenges: How to complete all quests Epic GamesFortnite Season 5’s Week 15 challenges are here, offering players a final chance to earn some double XP. Here’s how to complete all of them. Season 6 of Fortnite is set to kick off on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, with a huge Zero Crisis Finale event, so most players are doing their best to complete the Season 5 Battle Pass and unlock all of the enlightened skins before time is up. Fortunately, there’s one last set of weekly challenges to get through, with double XP being offered as a reward for the main quests. This means you’ll get 40,000 XP for ticking off each one, which should be a big help. Below, you’ll find all the information you need on completing the Week 15 challenges, which arrive in the game on Thursday, March 11 at 9 AM ET. There are seven Epic quests and one Legendary quest with a huge XP reward. Fortnite Season 5 Week 15 Epic Quests Distance traveled through sand (500) – Spend 5 seconds within 20 meters of enemies while sand tunneling (5) – Spend Bars (500) – Purchase an item from a character (1) – Upgrade a weapon (1) – Get intel from a character (1) – Hire a character (1) – The first two quests this week require you to sand tunnel. You can do this by remaining still on the sand that covers the center of the map. Traveling a distance in the sand is easy, but you’ll need to be sneaky to spend five seconds near enemies. The rest of the quests revolve around NPCs and Gold Bars, which makes sense as Epic Games have confirmed that players will lose all of their amassed Gold Bars when Season 5 ends on March 15, 2021. Spending 500 Bars should be easy, as most NPCs around The Island will offer some way to spend them. You’ll need to find specific NPCs that sell items/weapons, offer weapon upgrades, or sell intel to complete the next three quests. Finally, you’ll need to hire a character/NPC to be your bodyguard. There are quite a few that you can hire, such as Mancake at the Butter Barn and Doggo at Retail Row. Fortnite Season 5 Week 15 Legendary Quest Duel characters (5/10/15/20/25) – You’ll need to duel multiple characters for this week’s Legendary quest. To do this, speak to an NPC that offers duels – the option to do so is represented by the symbol of a gun and dagger – and prepare to engage in combat with them. Not all NPCs will allow you to duel with them. Some options are Kondor at Misty Meadows, Blaze near Holly Hedges, Big Chuggus at Slurpy Swamp, Kit at Catty Corner, Brutus at Dirty Docks, and Menace at Colossal Coliseum. From the challenge description, it doesn’t sound as though you actually need to win the duel, just engage in one. This means if you’re eliminated or simply run away, you should still get one step closer to earning XP. Remember, you’ll only have a few days to complete these Week 15 challenges, as Fortnite Season 6 kicks off on Tuesday, March 16, 2021.

Fortnite Season 5 Week 13 challenges: How to complete all quests Epic GamesFortnite’s Season 5 Week 13 challenges have arrived, and we’ve got all the information you need to complete each and every quest in no time at all. We’re now only a few weeks away from the end of Season 5, which is expected to close on March 15, 2021. Things are getting a bit dry, but Epic Games are continuing to pump out weekly challenges to give players something new to focus on. This week, there’s a mix of weapon damage quests and location-based quests. There are also a few tasks based around the Zero Point, as players will need to destroy some Crystal Trees and enter the Zero Point. Below, you’ll find the complete list of Week 13 challenges that go live on Thursday, February 25, 2021, at 9AM ET. There are a total of seven Epic quests to work through, as well as a single Legendary quest that will earn you a huge amount of XP. Fortnite Season 5 Week 13 Quests Scan a server at a Surface Hub (1) – Throw Fruit at Hunter’s Haven (3) – Damage opponents at Hunter’s Haven, The Orchard, and Retail Row (300) – Pistol Damage (300) – Bathe in the Purple Pool at Steamy Stacks (1) – Enter the Zero Point (1) – Destroy Crystal Trees (5) – The most interesting quest this week is the first one, which tasks players with scanning a server at a Surface Hub. It turns out, these are actually the Imagined Order’s underground bunkers. We’ve got a guide to finding Surface Hubs here. Throwing fruit at Hunter’s Haven should be easy. Collect fruit from any POI, make your way to Hunter’s Haven, then throw it on the ground. You can also deal damage to opponents here to complete the next challenge, and if you do it with a Pistol, you’ll tick off another in the process. To bathe in the Purple Pool, you’ll need to visit Steamy Stacks at the northeast of the Season 5 map. You can find the pool inside the main building on the ground floor. We’ve got a guide to finding the Purple Pool here. Entering the Zero Point requires you to jump out the Battle Bus over the center of the map and glide into it. Doing so won’t harm you, it will actually increase your shield. From here, destroying Crystal Trees is as simple as attacking the crystals that stick out of the sand with your pickaxe. Fortnite Season 5 Week 13 Legendary Quest Build Structures (60/120/180/240/300) – This week’s Legendary quest should be a lot easier to complete than last week’s challenge, which required players to deal damage to opponents within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing. You won’t even need to engage in combat this week, as you’ll simply need to build a total of 300 structures. As this is something most players do at least a few times during a match, you should complete it during everyday play. Read More: What’s included in March’s Fortnite Crew? – However, if you want to speed things along, we recommend you land at a quiet POI and farm for materials. Once you’ve maxed your inventory out, build away and you’ll tick each tier of this Legendary quest off in no time at all. Remember, you’ll only have until Thursday, March 4, 2021, to complete all of these quests and earn XP to level up your Battle Pass before Week 14 kicks off and they disappear.

Fortnite Season 5 Week 12 challenges: How to complete all quests Epic GamesFortnite Season 5 Week 12 is here, which means there’s a whole bunch of new challenges to complete to stock up on that all-important XP. We’re now 75% of the way through Season 5 of Epic Games’ hit battle royale, and fans are naturally looking forward to what Season 6 has in store for us in March. But in the meantime, there are still plenty of weekly challenges to complete. Week 12 brings a mixed bag of quests, but there’s quite a big focus on fishing this time around. This means players need to do things like damaging opponents with a Harpoon Gun and catch different weapon types from fishing spots. Below, you can see the complete list of Week 11 challenges which go live Thursday, February 18, 2021, at 9AM ET. There are seven Epic quests which will get you 20,000 XP each, and a single Legendary quest that will bag you a massive amount of XP when completed. Fortnite Season 5 Week 12 Epic Quests Deal damage within 15 seconds of gliding (200) – Visit Scenic Spot, Gorgeous Gorge, and Mount Kay (1) – Destroy inflatable tubemen llamas at gas stations (3) – Find a family portrait from a shipwreck (1) – Throw a fish back in to the water (1) – Hit different opponents with a Harpoon Gun (3) – Catch different weapon types from fishing spots (3) – Dealing damage within 15 seconds of gliding will require you to think fast, but it can be done. Land at a popular landmark beneath the Battle Bus path, and there should be plenty of players around to shoot – or hit with your pickaxe if you can’t find a weapon. Scenic Spot, Gorgeous Gorge, and Mount Kay should be marked on the map for you, so visiting them is easy. Destroying inflatable tubemen llamas will require you to visit various gas stations until you find them, then hit them with your pickaxe or a weapon. Players will have to visit one of two locations to find a family portrait. This could either be Shipwreck Cove, which is southeast of Catty Corner, or Crashed Cargo, which is found on the beach west of Sweaty Sands. For the final three fishing-themed quests, we recommend visiting Lazy Lake Island, just north of Misty Meadows. Here you’ll find plenty of fishing spots and fishing rods, and hopefully a Harpoon Gun as well. Throwing a fish back in the water is as simple as releasing it from your inventory. Then, you’ll need to hit three different players with your Harpoon Gun, which can be quite difficult. See if this one works on IO Guards, as they’re slow and easier to target. Finally, to catch different weapon types from fishing spots you’ll need to go fishing as normal and hope you get weapons instead of fish. Doing this with a Harpoon Gun usually increases your chance of getting good weapons. Fortnite Season 5 Week 12 Legendary Quest Hit an opponent within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing (5/10/15/20/25) – This Legendary Quest sounds like it will cause plenty of chaos on The Island, and could be quite difficult to do if multiple people are attempting to complete it all at the same time. In order to Zero Point Dash, you’ll want to land in the sand-covered area near the center of the map and destroy the crystals that stick out of the ground. Eat one of the small crystal shards that falls and you’ll be able to dash by quickly pressing the jump button twice. This effect only lasts for 30 seconds, so you’ll have to be quick. Find an opponent and deal damage to them. To fully tick off this Legendary quest, you’ll need to do this 25 times, so you’ll be spending a lot of time near the Zero Point. Remember, you’ve only got until Thursday, February 25, 2021, to complete these weekly challenges and earn XP to level up your Battle Pass before Week 13 kicks off.

Fortnite update 15.40: Patch notes, Flint Knock pistol, more exotic weapons Epic GamesThe next Fortnite Season 5 update, patch v15.40, has finally arrived. Here are all the juicy details, including patch notes, for the update that’s already being dubbed “the most amazing thing ever.” [jwplayer Mx6o4MA0] This patch has had an air of excitement around it since late last week, when Japanese content creator Urara leaked it would be “messy” and “the most amazing thing ever.” The YouTuber, who boasts over a million followers, also tipped Feb. 16 as its upcoming release date — turns out, he was right on the money. Epic has teased an “unvaulted favorite” set to return alongside new Exotics, two new LTMs — including a popular returning Fortnite mode — and more. There’s also a bundle of bug fixes included in the update, as per usual. Here’s everything we know about update 15.40, starting with all the details on Fortnite’s impending patch downtime, and the February 16 patch notes. When is the Fortnite v15.40 patch coming? Fortnite’s v15.40 patch update arrived on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, at 4 AM ET, with downtime expected to last for quite a while as the new additions are fully incorporated. The PS4 update size is 2.5GB, the PS5 update size is 2.5GB, the Xbox One update size is 3.2GB, the Xbox One Series X update size is 2.3GB, and the Nintendo Switch update size is 3GB. The size on PC varies, but will be around 1.58GB. Limited Time Modes: Air Royale & Floor is Lava Fortnite’s latest patch is set to bring back two of the most popular LTMs, “Floor is Lava” and “Air Royale.” Floor is Lava was a huge hit when it was added a couple of years ago. The rules are simple. Lava gradually rises from the lowest parts of the map and players need to scurry around to secure themselves onto the high ground. Air Royale was another popular mode that allows players to live their dream as a Top Gun pilot. It revolves around players fighting in planes, and if they come in contact with the ground, they’ll die instantly. Fortnite brings back the Flint Knock Epic teased the return of an “unvaulted favorite” set to return in patch v15.40, and we now know that the weapon in question is the Flint Knock pistol. It uses heavy bullets, deals 86 damage in its common variation, and has a headshot multiplier of x2.0. The weapon has a reload time of 3.2 and a fire rate of 0.33. Read More: Fortnite star Clix “perma-banned” on Twitch – Alongside the unvaulted weapon, Epic is also adding “more Exotics in stock for allies (and enemies)” to collect throughout the game, meaning there will be even more stock for players to purchase and cause chaos. New hunter portals added The theme of Season 5 has been bounty hunters, with several new skins added throughout including Predator and Halo’s Master Chief. It’s been revealed that two new portals have been added. The first is being referred to as Skirmish, which is a male and female set, and the second is called Kepler, which is a male skin only. There’s no clues as to who they’ll be, but many are hoping the male and female set will be Wanda and Vision from Disney+ seriesWandaVision. According to leaker ShiinaBR, there are currently three encrypted sets, with two of them being the new hunter sets. The codenames for these are BikeCatch, ToneTrip, and AcutePanic, which could be hints. There are currently 3 sets encrypted (2 new hunter sets + another one), here are the code names: – BikeCatch – ToneTrip – AcutePanic— Shiina (@ShiinaBR) February 16, 2021 Fortnite 15.40 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite dev team will also ship a few bug fixes, as documented on the official Trello board. This patch only has a few solved issues, including for the battle royale, Save the World, and Creative mode. Here is the full list of bug fixes coming in v15.40: General Total Bars appearing as “0” in a match. – Purple XP Coins disappearing when driven through (without granting XP). – Matchmaking doesn’t start if unreadied player leaves early. – Creative Mode Phone Booths do not respect island settings when players change Outfits. – Save the World Mythic Lead Survivor portraits appear only as silhouettes. – Locating a Durrr Burger not counting towards the “Locating: Burger Break!” Ventures quest. – So, there you have it; all the patch notes & planned changes for Fortnite’s fourth Season 5 update. Once the official v15.40 details are released and added to the battle royale, we’ll be the first to let you know.

Fortnite Season 5 update patch notes: Bounty System, Battle Pass, POIs Epic GamesAfter the incredible Nexus War event that saw Galactus finally attack the Fortnite island, Chapter 2’s next update has landed, bringing a host of updates to the game, including new weapons, a Bounty system, and some major map changes. Here’s the unofficial Fortnite Season 5 patch notes. [jwplayer nFbAibXn] Season 4’s dramatic conclusion captivated the world on December 1, as the “Devourer of Worlds” Galactus finally reigned terror over the game’s island, attempting to pull the Zero Point out of the middle of the map to be consumed and end reality as we know it. Thankfully, with the help of some Marvel heroes like Ironman, Thor, and Wolverine, the gigantic villain was banished, but not before he made some startling changes. Season 5 is set to revolve around the Zero Point, a massive ball of energy that creates the reality Fortnite exists in, and with it now exposed, Jonesy and some powerful bounty hunters have arrived on the island to stabilize it, and prevent any players from escaping the island. With new weapons, the Bounty system, and some major map updates, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into this season. Here’s everything you need to know about Fortnite Season 5: Zero Point. New Weapons and Items As always, a new season brings new toys for players to try out, and Season 5 is no exception. The new Dragon Shotgun is sure to lead to your enemy’s fiery demise, while the seven new fish available to catch in-game will give you a nice boost when needed. Fans of Disney+’s The Mandalorian will get to use the weapons they see the character uses in the show, with his Amban Sniper Rifle making an appearance, while you’ll also be able to take to the sky using his Jetpack too. Interestingly, there are also Gold Bars this season, along with a safe to keep them in. What you’ll be able to do with these bars remains unclear, but it’s likely they are the reward for capturing bounties and could be used to improve your loadout by buying new weapons or items. You can view the full list of new items below. Dragon Shotgun – Shadow Tracker – New Floppers Tiger Zero Fish – Leafy Zero Fish – Skull Zero Fish – Rift-To-Go Flopper – Sandstorm Rift Flopper – Zero Point Flopper – – Bounty Board – Gold Bars & Safe – Boom’s Sniper Rifle (Mythic) – Amban Sniper Rifle (Mythic) – Mandalorian’s Jetpack (Mythic) – Vaults and Unvaults Along with new items, Epic Games have used the Vault system to freshen up the loot pool. Charge and Double Barrel Shotguns are back, along with the P90, Storm Scout Rifle, and Balloons. Players will be saying goodbye to the Revolver, Fire Trap, Scar AR, and Tactical SMGs. Perhaps the biggest vault, the Pump Shotgun has once again been removed from the game, although it’s always worth remembering that just because an item has been vaulted doesn’t mean it won’t come back again in the future. You can check out the full list of vaults and unvaults below. Unvaulted Charge Shotgun – Double Barrel Shotgun – P90 – SMG – Storm Scout Rifle – Tactical Shotgun – Balloons – Vaulted Revolver – Fire Trap – Scoped Assault Rifle – Epic/Legendary Pump Shotgun – Legendary Combat Shotgun – Scar – Epic/Legendary Tac SMG – Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass Of course, there’s also a new Battle Pass for players to grind through this season, with The Mandalorian the stand-out addition, alongside a number of new skins that are unlike anything we’ve seen before. The new battle pass features a whole load of typically-awesome rewards. Not all of the rewards have been revealed as of yet, but there’s a huge variety of fantastic items to work towards as it stands. Map Changes There’s something strange going on with the Fortnite Season 5 map, with some classic locations returning, but not exactly as we remember them. Tilted Towers and Salty Springs have been merged together to create Salty Towers, a hybrid of both original map locations. Elsewhere, Stealthy Stronghold, Hunter’s Haven, and Colossal Coliseum are the three POIs to be added this year, along with a host of other Season 5 map changes that have yet to be discovered. Here’s a few screenshots of the new map. Bug fixes No Fortnite patch would be complete without bug fixes, and Epic Games have ironed out a few issues heading into the new season, including a fix for keybinding issues and disabling the Bash Burner pickaxe in competitive playlists: Huntress Outfit appearing as Ramirez or another Outfit. – Impossible to bind the same key to different actions with Keyboard. – Bash Burner Pickaxe temporarily disabled in competitive playlists. – Hunting Grounds Areas like the Jungle, Ancient Arena are self-contained places to focus on your survival skills in Fortnite. The Jungle is a hard area to get out of in itself, so you have to be on your top form here. Sinking sands also give players a new feature to work against in the Crystaline Sands. Stopping for too long will see you sink into the ground – so keep moving! New NPCs All over the map, you’ll now find new quest givers that task you with certain things. From Bounties and more, these new NPCs will be fantastic in helping you progress through the Battle Pass. Look out for Mancake, Sunflower, Steel Farmer, and more on your travels. You’re also able to hire them as an ally, gather intel on surroundings and your enemies, too. Reap the rewards with these NPCs and utilize them as often as you can. New Hunters/Skins Alongside the fantastic slew of new characters to arrive, from The Mandalorian to Mave; they aren’t the only ones slated to drop through the loop during the season. More information and patch notes from the Fortnite Season 5 update is being released constantly, so make sure to keep checking back to Dexerto as we continue to update this article throughout the day.

Fortnite quiz: 10 questions to test your Season 5 knowledge Epic GamesEpic Games’ hit battle royale, Fortnite, remains one of the most popular games in the world, with millions regularly visiting The Island. Season 5 has certainly been a memorable experience for fans, but how well do you know the game since its last major update? After an epic Marvel-themed season that redefined what a crossover between massive pop culture franchises and the world of gaming can look like, Season 5 had big boots to fill when it dropped – but it managed to meet our expectations and then some. Kicking off with an appearance from Star Wars characters The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, the season continued its ‘bounty hunter’ theme with God of War’s Kratos and Halo’s Master Chief, and surprised everyone with The Walking Dead characters. It’s not just skins that got people talking, as The Island also got an overhaul with new Points of Interest like Salty Towers and the jungle-themed Stealthy Stronghold, which turned out to be a landing spot for iconic movie villain The Predator. As players slowly begin to turn their attention to Season 6 of Forntite, which is expected to debut in March, we’re here to test your knowledge about everything Season 5, from weapons to landmarks and beyond. Take our Fortnite Season 5 quiz! Fans are expecting Season 5 of Fortnite to come to an end on March 15, 2021, as that’s when the current Battle Pass is slated to expire. Epic sometimes extends these dates, though, if there are more updates to work on. While we don’t know much about Season 6, players have been speculating about what it will entail, including a potential ‘darkness’ theme and the appearance of a long-running mystery object that could spell trouble for The Island. YouTuber and Fortnite superfan Ali-A has a pretty convincing theory that Kevin the Cube will make a return for Season 6. The Cube is a mysterious object that first appeared in Fortnite in 2018 and caused mayhem as it destroyed parts of the map. We’ll keep you updated on any new announcements, rumors, and leaks over on our dedicated Fortnite hub.

Fortnite Season 5 Rift Beacon leak hints at map changes Epic GamesA new Fortnite leak has hinted at the Rift Beacons making a return in the near future, so, they could be coming back in the upcoming Chapter 2, Season 5 update? Even with a new map, a raft of new mechanics, and different crossovers, Fortnite Chapter 2 hasn’t quite hit the heady heights it set itself back in Chapter 1 when it exploded onto the battle royale scene. That, in turn, leads fans to beg for Epic Games to bring back things from the past – be it a particular weapon, map location, and in some cases, an overall theme for the season. On of the most sought-after items, that fans would like to see make a return, are the Rift Beacons. The beacons, which popped up in Season X, were apart of the ever-evolving map – with locations, new and old, taking their place with each update. Seeing a beacon in-game, at a certain location, spelled danger for it – and they gave fans something to look forward to. Well, it looks like they could be returning in the near future – at least, perhaps, to play a role in the Galactus Event. Fortnite leaker TweaFN tweeted on November 29 that the beacons had been updated – alongside a whole host of other assets. These included the beam of light used in the Robot vs Monster event at the end of Season 9. These event-related assets being updated does seem to suggest that they will be used in the Galactus, especially as the beacons were also updated prior to the Chapter 2, Season 3 event – where they played a small role. Even though all signs point to the beacons, at least for now, playing a role in the event – this doesn’t completely rule out their return in Season 5. Read More: Fortnite leaker claims mods are coming soon – As of writing, the only hint about the Season 5 theme we’ve got is the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda secret skin, so everything is on the table in terms of changes. We’ll just have to see what Epic decides to do.

Fortnite Season 5 Leaked Skins and Cosmetics Images The release of Season 5 and the v5.0 update in Fortnite Battle Royale has brought with it changes on an unprecedented scale, but what most players will be mainly interested in is what new skins they can expect to get their hands on. Shortly after the roll out of the v5.0 update, a new image appeared as the background to the Epic Games launcher for Fortnite, showing off a selection of new skins on their way. The skins seem to have no discernible connection on the surface, but some eagle eyed players have pointed out that certain outfits actually resemble characters from other popular video games. For example, their a female outfit which somewhat resembles the main character from ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’, “Aloy”, and another which is almost certainly inspired by God of War’s fictional Norse God and protagonist, “Kratos”. What is for sure is that these character skins embody the ‘Worlds Collide’ slogan which has accompanied the Season 5 rollout, as they seem to come from all different fictional worlds. The background image shows seven skins in total, some of the inspiration behind you might recognize while others are much more ambiguous. Along with these skins, one other outfit was also revealed on the Epic Games website when the patch notes for v5.0 where posted initially. And thanks to data miners TwoEpicBuddies, even more skins and cosmetic items have been found in the game files. They include another Viking like outfit, Wrestling costumes and a Shark outfit, as well as new back bling items. TwoEpicBuddies also uncovered lots of new gliders and pickaxes on the way with the v5.0 patch – as well as another secret skin unlocked at the highest tier of the battle pass.

Fortnite 14.50 Update patch notes: Jetpacks return & next-gen upgrades Epic GamesEpic Games have released the latest update for Fortnite, with November 3’s v14.50 patch for PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch marking the return of Jetpacks while finishing preparations for the game’s release on next-gen consoles. [jwplayer so0eN9Pk] This week we’re getting treated to another Fortnite update; one focused on preparing the super-popular battle royale for the arrival of the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. That doesn’t mean Epic haven’t spared a thought for gameplay too, with Tony Stark making some tweaks to Jetpacks that see them return to the battle royale mode for the first time since June 2018. When is the Fortnite v14.50 patch coming? Epic Games has officially locked in the v14.50 update for Tuesday, November 3. Downtime is expected to begin at 4am ET (9am UTC, 9am BST, 6pm AEST). The patch is surprisingly early, considering v14.40 only came out two weeks ago, but with the next-gen consoles on the horizon, it looks like Epic Games want to get their popular battle royale ready as soon as possible for the switch. Expect a lengthy downtime for the v14.50 patch. Fortnite matchmaking will be disabled 20-25 minutes before the new Chapter 2 Season 4 update. Hey there, everyone. v14.50 jets in tomorrow, November 3, and prepares Fortnite for next week’s next-generation consoles! Downtime will start at approx. 4 AM ET (09:00 UTC). pic.twitter.com/rjsTgF2Psj — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) November 3, 2020 Fortnite v14.50 early patch notes Jetpacks, courtesy of Tony Stark It’s been a good while since Jetpacks have appeared in Fortnite. Thankfully, Marvel’s very own Tony Stark is bringing them back in a big way. The latest update will let you soar through the skies with a “new and improved” Jetpack straight from Stark Industries. There’s currently no telling how this item has been changed, but expect it to be more efficient than its previous form. It once came in Rare, Epic, and Legendary variants, so a similar approach might follow for their Season 4 overhaul. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled when you boot up Fortnite. From helicopters to jetpacks, players have lots of ways to get around the map in style. Next-gen preparations One of the most important aspects of the v14.50 update is in regards to next-gen hardware. With the new patch, Fortnite will be fully prepared for the launch of the Xbox Series X/S along with the PlayStation 5. “Faster loading times, dynamic visuals and physics, and 4K resolution at 60 FPS” are the features coming exclusively to the new hardware. This means you’ll be dropping into games faster than ever before and each round of action will be smoother than usual. For a full rundown on next-gen improvements, you can catch up on the biggest announcements, and find out how to unlock a free Throwback OG pickaxe. New “Lachlan” Icon Series skin released One of the biggest skin releases coming in Fortnite patch v14.50 will be the battle royale’s next Icon Series set, themed around Aussie YouTube star Lachlan Power. Lachlan has been one of the most consistent creators in Fortnite ever since it launched in 2017, so it’s no surprise that he has been graced with a skin of his very own likeness in the game. Read more: How to get new Fortnite Lachlan skin early – The cosmetic set, which will include an outfit, pickaxe, back bling, and emote, will be added to the Item Shop during 14.50. The exact date of its release is expected to be Thursday, Nov. 12, with Lachlan giving away some skins early on Nov. 8. XP Xtravaganza With Season 3 coming to a swift end, Epic Games are giving players another chance to earn some XP to finish your Battle Pass, with new bonus challenges arriving this week. Fortnite v14.50 bug fixes As per usual, the Fortnite team has also added a number of bugs and issues to their official Trello board. This week’s patch will likely include fixes for many of these recurring problems, including issues with Gas Cans, and plenty more. Epic Games has also flagged v14.50 will disable party matchmaking in Creative Mode. It is not expected to be re-engaged on live servers until “at least v14.60,” the Fortnite devs warned after announcing update v14.40 was on its way. Here is the full list of bug changes potentially set for v14.50: General Burn Basher animation issue. – Battle Royale Gas Cans temporarily disabled – Cozy Chomps and Ravage Outfits appearing as Ramirez. – THWIP! Legacy not being awarded. – Creative Mode Baller Movement is unnatural after exiting. – There is no “Back to Hub” Option in Creative Play server. – Team Size setting does not properly function when Join In Progress is set to Join Next Round. – Mobile Nintendo Switch audio may be delayed or dropped out. – So, there you have it! That’s our early patch notes with expected changes and fixes coming in Fortnite’s v14.50 update patch. Once the official details are released and added to the game, we’ll be the first to let you know.

Fortnite Season 5 best landing spots: Most chests & exotic weapon spawns Epic GamesThe best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5 have been revealed as players have found the places that have the most chests and best loot at the start of every game. After Chapter 2, Season 4’s epic end of season event, the Fortnite battle royale island has been taken over by hunters – and the Zero Point has also made an appearance at the center of the map again. The map has been tweaked too, bringing in new locations like Stealthy Stronghold and Hunter’s Haven, while Tilted Towers is back in the form of Salty Towers as it’s now part Tilted and part Salty Springs. With all these map changes, some players might be wondering if it’s time to switch up their trusty landing spot, or if their usual location has been given a bit of a boost. Fortnite Season 5 POIs with most chests Well, that’s where Fortnite stats website LootLake comes into play. They’ve already documented the amount of chest, vehicle, fish, and whatever other spawns you can think you might need in Chapter 2, Season 5. Chests are the biggest thing, so, we’ll focus on them. In Seasons 3 and 4, Misty Meadows had the most chests, but the title now goes to Lazy Lake. The POI has 41 possible chest spawns dotted around. After that, Sweaty Sands and Misty Meadows have the most – with 34 and 33 respectively. In terms of new POIs, Hunter’s Haven leads the way at 21, though depending on your rotation, you could find another 15 nearby. Fortnite Season 5 exotic weapon locations Now, if you’re not too fussed with chests and want to go after the exotic, rare weapons that have been plunged into this season, we’ve got them for you as well. The Mandalorian’s rifle is found at his downed Razor Crest ship near Colossal Coliseum, while the Boom Sniper Rifle is on the small island to the east of Stealthy Stronghold. Obviously, to get your hands on the rare weapons, you will either need to defeat one of the hunters – and that’s not an easy task, especially against The Mandalorian – or have the bars to buy the weapon. Though, if you do manage to get your hands on them, you’ll be well on your way to a victory royale as the weapons are incredibly powerful.

Fortnite Season 4 superheroes abilities: How to get Mythic Items Epic GamesMarvel characters have crash-landed into the Fortnite Battle Royale world for Season 4, bringing with them a few Mythic Items that grant players superpower abilities. Here, we look at how to use them and what each of them offer. On August 27, Epic Games rolled out one of their most ambitious patches we’ve seen since Chapter 2 began. You only have to watch the trailer to see that, with the X-Men squad coming in alongside Thor. With that jam-packed update, which delivered a load of vaulted and unvaulted weapons to shake up the meta, it has also brought new superhero abilities. Each of these are tied to a different Marvel hero or villain, and as of the time of writing these include: Groot’s Bramble Shield, Doctor Doom’s Mystical Bomb, Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets, and Silver Surfer’s Board. So, let’s take a look at what to do with them and how to get them. Groot’s Bramble Shield Groot’s Bramble Shield is an interesting one, because it’s basically a Season 4 version of the Baller. The Baller was vaulted back in Season 10, Chapter 1, and hasn’t made a return since. Well, there’s something very similar to it in-game as of Season 4, Chapter 2. The new update has released this new ability, which when found and activated places players inside a slower version of the Baller, which is brown in color. It heals as you ride with it and doesn’t last forever, with Epic slapping a 25-second cooldown on this superhero ability. To get one, you’re going to have to shoot down some drones that fly overhead near Avenger jets in-game. They fall into the game at random, though, so we don’t yet know how to guarantee one in a single match. You will know when one is nearby, though, as it is a big shiny coin to pick up. How to get Groot’s Bramble Shield in Fortnite Jump into a game of Fortnite Battle Royale. – Leap out of the Battle Bus and head for one of the Avenger ships. – Shoot down drones until you find the Groot Mythic Item. – Pick up the coin, activate the ability and you’re away! – Doctor Doom’s Mystical Bomb & Arcane Gauntlets Doctor Doom is the greediest of the new superheroes, as he has two items to hold. This brings a bit of mystery to the table though as you won’t know which one you’re getting when you have knocked him down. Somebody might scoop the one you wanted, so be fast. The first ability, the Mystical Bomb, is an interesting one because it sets areas on fire. By doing so, it deals 60 damage per hit. On the other hand, Arcana Gauntlets can shoot you high into the sky, making it a perfect ability for escaping tight situations or gunfights you perhaps did not want to take. Doctor Doom can be found at Pleasant Park and usually spawns near the football field. All you have to do is take him down to grab one of these items he’s protecting, but that might be easier said than done. How to get Doctor Doom’s Mystical Bomb & Arcane Gauntlets in Fortnite Jump into a game of Fortnite Battle Royale. – Head over to the Pleasant Park location. – Pick up a weapon and visit the football pitch, where Doctor Doom spawns. – Take him out and grab one of the Mythic items he protects. – Activate the superhero ability you find. – Silver Surfer’s Board Last, but certainly not least, is the Silver Surfer’s board. This superhero ability will set you apart from the pack but is particularly difficult to find, as it’s so rare. Land at one of the Avenger’s jets to find this one, just like we said for the Groot item, and start firing down the drones. Inside one of them will be the Mythic Item you need to use the board. Once found and activated, it works just like a Launch Pad. How to get Silver Surfer’s board in Fortnite Jump into a game of Fortnite Battle Royale. – Exit the Battle Bus near one of the Avengers ships. – Pick up a weapon and fire down drones overhead. – Once a coin drops out, pick up the Silver Surfer board item. – Activate it periodically to boost into the sky. – So, there you have it! That’s how each of the new superhero abilities work in Fortnite Season 4. Now you know where to find Groot’s shield, Doctor Doom’s two items, as well as how to boost yourself into the sky like a Silver Surfer.

Fortnite Season 4 teasers reveal new skins and crossovers coming soon Epic GamesEpic Games has unleashed several teasers for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, some of which confirm previous leaks and rumors. Leaks concerning Fortnite’s eagerly-anticipated Season 4 update hit the web weeks ago. One such leak claimed Spider-Gwen from Into the Spider-Verse would soon join the roster. Another hinted at a Goth Meowscles skin for the beloved humanoid cat character. Of course, Epic Games kept silent, leaving players to constantly guess at the veracity of the unceasing leaks. With Season 4 set to go live in the coming days, the development team has finally started to lift the lid on what awaits in the next update. Fans look for meaning in official Fortnite Season 4 teasers Today, September 14, Epic Games uploaded “Placeholder Store Art” to various digital storefronts. Four pictures in total went live, all hinting at the new content in Fortnite Season 4. According to the Fortnite-centric Twitter account, iFireMonkey, a picture depicting Meowscles’ hand coming out of liquid chrome originally surfaced on the Epic Games Store. This photo presumably confirms rumors of the Goth Meowscles skin. A second teaser hit the PlayStation Store around the same time, showcasing Spider-Gwen’s hand reaching out from the shiny goo. The Nintendo Store played host to the third image, which offers a look at Remixed Paradigm. Finally, the fourth and final of Epic’s Season 4 teasers for Fortnite came in the form of a chrome hand via the Xbox Store. As iFireMonkey noted in a subsequent Twitter post, fans have pointed out that the chrome hand matches the art of a “concept skin from the surveys.” Thus far, it seems the Season 4 Battle Pass will at least include Spider-Gwen, Goth Meowscles (or his son, Kit), an alternate Paradigm, and the unnamed survey character. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is expected to begin on Sunday, September 18.

Fortnite Season 4 is reportedly adding Into the Spider-Verse’s Spider-Gwen Sony PicturesSeveral leakers claim Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 will introduce a Spider-Gwen skin from Into the Spider-Verse. Other Spider-Man characters have already swung into the world of Fortnite over the years. Since Spidey hit the Island in late 2021, Epic Games has added multiple skins for players to unlock, including Tom Holland’s No Way Home design. Spidey-adjacent characters joined the roster in recent months as well, namely Green Goblin and Prowler. Still, fans patiently await the day when more Spider-Verse heroes and villains enter the ranks. And, fortunately, it seems as though such a day may arrive sooner rather than later – if recent leaks prove accurate. Spider-Gwen will reportedly make her Fortnite debut soon Various leakers, including the likes of HYPEX and FNBRIntel, claim Into the Spider-Verse’s Spider-Gwen will join the popular battle royale title in Chapter 3 Season 4. Shiina, another prominent insider, said they’ve also verified the alternate version of Gwen Stacy will become available in the Season 4 Battle Pass. This supposed leak comes amid rumors that Fortnite Season 4 will not boast a Marvel-centric theme. Notably, some were anticipating a Marvel event given Chapter 2 Season 4’s Galactus storyline. At the time of writing, Epic Games has yet to specify what exactly the next major content update will entail. Not even an official launch date has hit the web, though the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass suggests its follow-up should arrive in mid-September. The third season of Chapter 3 launched a few months ago in June, complete with a laidback summer “Vibin’” motif. Darth Vader and Indiana Jones constituted some of the new characters, so the sky’s the limit in terms of what Epic has up its sleeve for the next update.

Fortnite Season 4 makes fans nostalgic for old Hasbro Marvel action figures Hasbro/FortniteA 2014 Hasbro commercial for Marvel toys hit Fortnite players in their feelings, as some of the scenes and features shown in the ad look strangely similar to the features in Chapter 5 Season 4. This second Marvel-themed Fortnite season allows players to mix and match superhero parts to create their ultimate Marvel-inspired character. If you’ve got Marvel skins, you can deck out your avatar with your favorite heroes’ mythic loot. During a battle royale match, you might run into Deadpool sporting Doctor Doom’s gauntlets or Peelverine ditching his claws to sport the War Machine Arsenal gloves. While Marvel is the main theme, one sharp-eyed player stumbled upon an old Hasbro ad that is surprisingly similar to Fortnite season and shared it on Reddit. The commercial, from 2014, featured Super Hero Mashers, a toy line that allowed kids to mix and match Marvel heroes. The ad featured Spider-Man, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Iron Man, and Wolverine – the same characters that are front and center in Fortnite. In the commercial, Spider-Man even hurls Captain America’s shield at Doctor Doom – the not-so-villain of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 – in a move that Fortnite players can currently recreate. However, the Captain America shield is, shall we say, slightly less shield-y after the recent nerfs. The Redditors had a blast with this discovery. One user joked, “Fortnite is basically just buying action figures and playing with them.” Most comments show a shared sense of nostalgia, with many agreeing, “they were goated toys.” One player even thanked the owner of the post for reminding them they owned some of the Marvel Mashers. “Now I have the urge to mess with them in the morning,” they shared. Whether Epic Games took a page from Hasbro’s toy catalog is a mystery. Unfortunately, while Chapter 5 Season 4 mixes Marvel and nostalgia, it’s not hitting all the right notes. Earlier this season, Fortnite fans griped about the lack of new Marvel-themed skins available. They also slammed one specific medallion as “useless.”

Fortnite Season 4 leak reveals controversial planes set for return Epic GamesAccording to a leaker, Epic Games may reintroduce Fortnite’s controversial planes when Chapter 3 Season 4 arrives. Epic initially added planes to Fortnite during Chapter 1 Season 7, allowing players to wipe out foes from the sky. It didn’t take long for Fortnite faithful to become sour towards the aircraft. Many referred to planes as overpowered, then celebrated once the high-flying vehicles were vaulted in Season 8. Since then, planes have resurfaced every so often for a limited period of time. But now it seems as though the unpopular vehicles will soon exit the vault for a longer stretch. Planes will reportedly return during Fortnite Season 4 Yet another Fortnite Season 4 leak is making the rounds, with the latest claiming that a widely disliked vehicle could rear its head again. According to leaker and Twitter user HYPEX, a recent update hinted at the return of planes. HYPEX posits they could appear during Season 4. Other vehicles that were previously outed as possible Season 4 entries include motorcycles and a brand-new mech. Meanwhile, the insider speculates that leaks from Chapter 2 Season 7, including a City Bus, Sport Truck, and HMV, may have been “scrapped.” As of writing, Epic Games has yet to announce details about Fortnite Season 4, much less confirm whether or not planes will take to the skies again. News should surface in the near future, though, especially since the Season 3 Battle Pass expires on September 17. In addition to planes and mechs, rumors suggest the upcoming season will also add Into the Spider-Verse’s Spider-Gwen as a playable hero. Despite the supposed Spider-Gwen appearance, leakers claim a Marvel-centric Season 4 theme is not on the docket.

Fortnite Season 4 leaked weapon and mechanic spotted in SypherPK skin reveal Epic Games / Twitter: SypherPKFortnite fans may have just gotten a new tease for Season 4 content thanks to a trailer shown on SypherPK’s skin reveal live stream. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is almost here, as the new season finally begins on September 18, 2022. As Epic Games prepares Season 4’s launch, leaks have been swirling around the internet about what players can expect from the new season. Now, fans may have just gotten a glimpse at a brand new weapon and mechanic coming in Season 4, thanks to a trailer shown during SypherPK’s Icon skin reveal. Fortnite leaks reveal new weapon and mechanic Fortnite leaker HYPEX on Twitter posted screenshots from the trailer that showed SypherPK’s icon skin holding what looks to be either a new Sniper Rifle or a new scoped Assault Rifle. Though the gun looks vaguely similar to other weapons in the game already, like the Ranger Assault Rifle, it has some subtle differences. As a Sniper, it features a much longer magazine clip than any other possibly pointing to a larger ammo capacity. If this gun in fact does carry more ammo than a Sniper, this could point to it being a new scoped Assault Rifle coming next season. Unfortunately, the gun wasn’t shown firing so it’s not entirely clear what weapon class it belongs to just yet. Additionally, viewers spotted other new elements in the SypherPK skin reveal trailer as well, like the new hot air balloon lining Season 4’s map. Fortnite creator iFireMonkey also posted screenshots of some new map changes coming in Season 4. It appears as though these hot air balloons have platforms attached to them, providing players with elevated height and a bit of cover. Finally, some fans spotted what looks to be a new POI in the form of a Chrome Forest and some changes coming to The Joneses POI introduced in Chapter 3 Season 1. Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait much longer to see what changes Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has in store.

Fortnite Season 4 leak reveals big detail about theme Epic Games / MarvelA reliable leaker claims that Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 won’t feature a Marvel-centric theme, unlike Chapter 2’s fourth season. Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Season 4 event in 2020 proved momentous, thanks in large part to a Marvel theme that centered on the Devourer of Worlds – Galactus. This particular season also allowed players to unlock skins for a host of Marvel characters, including the likes of Groot, Thor, Wolverine, and She-Hulk. Rumors about the Battle Pass for Chapter 3’s upcoming fourth season have some convinced the Marvel Universe will soon retake center stage. A new leak sets theme expectations for Fortnite Season 4 According to well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX, the upcoming season of Fortnite will not revolve around Marvel heroes and villains. HYPEX noted as much in a recent Twitter post, to which another insider – FNBRintel – responded with a claim that at least one Marvel skin should appear in Season 4’s Battle Pass. The leakers’ track record aside, Fortnite faithful should take all of the above with a grain of salt for the time being. Notably, Epic Games has yet to discuss its plans for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, which is expected to arrive in the back half of this month. Chapter 3’s third season debuted earlier this summer in June, introducing players to a laidback summer theme all about “Vibin’.” Of course, a few additional weapons, map changes, and Battle Pass offerings entered the mix, as well. And new characters included cinema icons such as Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. Suffice it to say, whatever Epic Games has in store for Chapter 3’s next season will have pretty big shoes to fill.

Fortnite Season 4 Marvel theme finally confirmed with Thor teaser Epic Games / MarvelFirst it was leaked, and now it’s official.

There has been talk of the next Fortnite Battle Royale season taking on yet another superhero theme for some time, with Thor being mentioned by countless leakers before the confirmation came through. Epic, however, had been radio silent on the matter. They recently revealed a very casual looking Jonesy skin that looked something like Thor in The Avengers: Endgame, although some fans may have been accused of clutching at straws for that one at the time. Then, data miners like HYPEX started to find clues in the files. New Fortnite Season 4 theme confirmed The official Twitter account posted the following animated graphic, showing Thor’s face etched into the famous Fortnite logo. It also states above it that the next season will begin on August 27, as expected. A frenzy of Twitter posts hit all Fortnite player timelines when the discovery was first made on the Nintendo eShop, as it was leaked a few hours prior.

Fortnite Season 3: Vibin Battle Pass ‘lookbook’ previews streetwear-inspired skins Epic GamesEpic Games has revealed a look at Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3’s Battle Pass, which seems to take inspiration from modern hype-beast and streetwear culture. Every new Fortnite season has some sort of theme or concept that the battle royale follows until the next one rolls around. With Fortnite’s climactic Collision live event wrapping up Chapter 3 Season 2 on June 4, Epic Games have given fans a sneak peek at the next theme for Season 3. Apparently, Fortnite Season 3 will revolve around a “chill” aesthetic, taking heavy inspiration from modern-day streetwear culture according to a new teaser website. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 inspired by streetwear culture Epic Games Vice President and Co-Founder Mark Rein teased the Chapter 2 Season 3 theme, saying “‘Chill’ is the word” to describe the upcoming Fortnite update. After the Collision live event concluded, the Fortnite account tweeted out a link to a website filled with flashy animations that debuted a few brand new skins. The site previews three skins called Evie, Adira, and Malik who are all stylistically posed to make them appear like modern influencer posts on social media. Moreover, the website teases variations of each skin, with a clear example of how Malik’s skin will change with the addition of new pauldrons and a cloak. While the Malik and Adira skins seem to have elements of battle armor crossed with streetwear with their skins, Evie’s skin is much more obviously streetwear-inspired. Her primary skin consists of a tank top with an ‘X’ across the chest, vibrant joggers, sneakers, and bright sunglasses with each variation. Furthering this new “chill” aesthetic, the Fortnite devs began streaming a video feed showing a neon forest scape pulsating with light over lofi hip-hop music while servers are down to prep for Season 3’s start. However, it’s unclear just how long Fortnite will be down following the end of Season 2, as the lofi stream simply states “To be continued…” In the meantime, players can listen to and even stream the relaxing beats provided by Fortnite as they are “procedurally generated through ‘Quartz,’ an Unreal Engine sub-system. No need to worry about claims or strikes.”

Fortnite Season 3 update adds all-new driveable vehicles Epic GamesYou won’t have to fight constantly over boats and helicopters in Fortnite anymore. More vehicles are coming to help you traverse the new Season 3 map, including cars, ATVs, and others. You could fly in Fortnite. You could navigate the seas in Fortnite. Once upon a time you could drive ATVs from POI to POI, but they were removed months ago. Although the tide is now rising, land vehicles are making a return in Season 3. The trailer for the new season showcased a bunch of land vehicles being driven around the island, which means players will be able to as well. While no in-game footage of players being able to drive around the island is available yet, it has been confirmed that when players boot onto Season 3, there will be new vehicles awaiting them. Cars, buggies, taxis, and trucks await players around the map to help them get from one side to another.

They’ll have a set amount of HP, and once they break, they explode in an inferno. Whether they’ll be able to boost like boats, or will have other mechanics, is unclear. The battle pass trailer also featured players getting around on water skis attached to the fin of a shark. If boating isn’t your thing, maybe you’ll be able to ride on the back of a shark instead of swimming. If you were wondering about helicopters and boats, they won’t be going anywhere. With water flooding the map in Season 3, it’s more crucial than ever to find easy ways to navigate through sea or air. Other vehicles might be added that weren’t shown in the trailer as well. Motorcycles are an obvious exclusion, although there might be some more wacky concepts players haven’t seen yet. The Fortnite Season 3 update comes after a long wait, with an all-new map, new battle pass, and new mechanics revolutionizing the mega-popular battle royale.
