Child Gamer Apologizes for Harassment of Pokimane During Fortnite Stream 12-year-old gamer ‘Toxic’ made an apology video following a negative interaction with Pokimane during a Fortnite stream. Notable streamer and gamer Pokimane was confronted with an uncomfortable situation during a Fortnite stream. Over voice chat, a fellow player revealed himself as a huge fan — and a twelve-year-old boy. While Pokimane was initially pleased and surprised at his enthusiasm, that surprise quickly turned to shock and disgust at the kid’s following statements. “Are you down to sixty-nine?” he asked, making slurping noises over the mic. Pokimane left the game following an especially racist remark, where the child yelled “Allahu Akbar” during the match. The child’s sexist and racist comments were enough to drive viewers to report him, leading to the deletion of his YouTube channel. The streamer, appropriately named ‘Toxic,’ uploaded an apology video preceding the ban, where he expressed remorse for his behavior. “I was in Pokimane’s game recently and there was some negative energy,” he admitted. “I wanted to come out and say I’m sorry about all the inappropriate things.” He went on to say that his comments were meant as a joke, and that his words were badly received by viewers. Toxic’s comments caught the attention of Ninja, who recognized that the internet’s anonymity can lead to inflated confidence for pubescent boys trying to interact with women in gaming. “For some reason, kids just think that they can be the most disgusting people in the world,” he said during a stream. “It’s the anonymity. There’s no punishment.” Since his YouTube account has been suspended, Toxic’s apology is not longer available for users to see. Toxic’s apology video serves as a milestone for his personal growth – and a major lesson to those looking to make dehumanizing comments to female streamers.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 update: Patch notes, new items, more – Dexerto
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 update: Patch notes, new items, more Epic GamesAfter a long wait, Fortnite‘s Chapter 2, Season 2 is finally here, as the 12.00 update goes live on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices on Thursday, February 20. Season 1 was the longest in the game’s history, but the popular battle royale title finally is finally introducing a major update to Fortnite as it enters the second season of its second chapter. While in previous seasons the developers had released a new update every week, new additions were few and far between in Season 1, so fans will be delighted to have some new locations, items, and cosmetics to sink their teeth into. After days of teasers, including strange advertising boards and phone numbers appearing around the world alongside strange images on social media, the update is finally live, and there’s a lot for Fortnite fans to get excited about. What’s New? Top Secret The theme of Fortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 2 is ‘Top Secret,’ with players who purchase the Battle Pass not only gaining a host of new skins and V-Bucks, but the ability to take part in special Missions to unlock special skin variants for the characters. On top of that, players will also be able to take part in Limited-Time Operations, which Epic Games claims will “change the fate of the island” forever. Chapter 2, Season 2 Battle Pass As always, a new season means a new Battle Pass, and players have plenty of new skins and cosmetics to rock with the release of this update. On top of the skins in the Pass, Fortnite fans can also unlock special variants by completing challenges and Missions, and will receive 1500 V-Bucks to spend on items from the in-game store. New locations While none of the game’s main locations received any major updates in Season 1, the 12.00 update has introduced two brand-new locations, giving players more options around where they drop to pick up loot. The small island located at the center of the map, often known as “Eye-land,” has been completely revamped, with a massive building now sitting on top of this piece of land, complete with a helipad and plenty of rooms full of weapons and chests. Elsewhere, an oil rig has also appeared in the south-west corner of the map, taking over the area next to Slurpy Swamp. Deadpool joins the game Marvel superhero Deadpool is the latest character to enter the fray, and brings with him a brand-new set of challenges that players can complete if they own the Season 2 Battle Pass. Fortnite fans can also suit up as the masked vigilante too as they try to find victories in the game, although how the skin can be unlocked remains to be seen. Shakedowns Ever down an opponent but find yourself confused as to where their teammates could be hiding? Wonder no more, as Epic Games have introduced Shakedowns, which see players gain the ability to pick up their fallen nemesis and glean information from them. After knocking an opponent, run over and intereact with their character to pick them up, and interrogate them for the locations of the squad. Once complete, red arrows will appear on your screen, allowing you to see their positions and prepare your team for combat. Weapon Vaults and Unvaults As always, a new season means an update to the game’s weapon pool, and Epic Games have introduced some massive changes, bringing back a host of classic weapons and sending some of Season 1’s more powerful items to the vault. The Suppressed Pistol, Suppressed Assault Rifle, and Suppressed Sniper Rifle are all back to help players complete their secret agent missions with stealth, while Drum Guns, C4, Grapplers, Heavy Snipers, and Boom Bows are also back. Epic have also added some new items, with the Decoy Grenade and Creeping Cardboard also intrudced. That does mean that some have to be removed from the game, with the Damage Trap gone along with the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, while certain rarities of the Rocket Launcher and Submachine Gun have also been sent to the vault for the time being. Remember though, just because Epic have removed them now, doesn’t mean they won’t return at some point in the future. Other Changes Vaults have also been added, with special keycards required to gain access, while NPC Agents are also in the game. Players can use toilets to travel through tubes to new locations, while consumables are now throwable items as well. Bug Fixes As always, a new update means Epic Games have a host of fixes for some of the most frustrating bugs that have been affecting the game, which will hopefully remove some pesky issues and improve the quality of life for fans of the game. The following fixes have been taken from the official Fortnite Trello board. Players no longer get stuck on loading screens after accepting an invite before selecting game mode. – Players can now select traps with a controller when ‘Pick Up’ indicator is on-screen. – Game will no longer crash when selecting controller settings menu that may result in a blank controller layout. – Players will no longer pick up ‘down-but-not-out’ teammates when trying to switch to their Pickaxe. – Players will no longer be temporarily unable to move or do any other action after Emoting. – Fixed an issue where the “Could not join party” message was wrongly occurring. – Removed the delay in movement after using a movement key to exit your inventory. –

Characters’ mouths now move when your mic is activated on Fortnite – Dexerto
Characters’ mouths now move when your mic is activated on Fortnite Fortnite players have discovered that the characters’ mouths are now in motion when your in game mic is on in the lobby area. Epic Games loves to surprise the community with in-game features that often go beyond expectation, and this latest change is a small novelty, but an entertaining one. On November 3, some players noticed that when their microphone was active in game and the player spoke, the mouth of their character began to move, mimicking speech. Fortnite developers Epic Games seem to have added this feature in silently, as it is not mentioned in any recent patch notes or on their official social channels. More: TSM Daequan criticizes Fortnite’s ‘direction’ with recent updates – “They don’t make anybody happy” – It is unknown if the feature is active on console and mobile yet, as there is only evidence of it on PC. So, if you are a PC player, you can test out speaking in your microphone when you are in the lobby of the game, and see your character speak along with you. Note that this feature only applies in the lobby are, and not the spawn island or in actual matches, at least currently. If you are planning to try it out, you may need to increase some of your graphic settings to make it happen, as some players have said that the mouths will not move on lower settings. While ideally this feature would work in actual matches too, there is likely too much action in game to notice such a small novelty anyway. Nonetheless, it is an interesting addition from Epic, and we wonder if they have any more small touches like this in the works.

Chaotic ‘Overpowered’ Fortnite concept would be a game changer – Dexerto
Chaotic ‘Overpowered’ Fortnite concept would be a game changer FinnWasTakennMany Fortnite features haven’t gone down too well with fans in the past, whether that’s new weapons or items, but this insane ‘Overpowered’ concept would bring them all back inside a limited time game mode. This would mean the return of some of the craziest things to have ever featured in the battle royale game mode, such as the Guided Missile, Shadow Stones and even the controversial Infinity Blade. The idea would be to balance out the powers of the weapons. Instead of having one Infinity Blade which is clearly the strongest weapon on the game mode – as was the case after Fortnite’s v7.01 patch – there would be many other overpowered weapons you could use to combat it. The creator of the idea, Reddit user FinnWasTakenn, posted on the FortniteBR subreddit: “This is a quick concept trailer for an LTM [limited time mode] idea I had just before the Infinity Blade was vaulted. Read More: Fortnite vaults six items for Season 7 – “The whole idea of this LTM is to bring back everything that the community and Epic decided was “unbalanced” and put them all into an LTM.” A number of vaulted items such as Bouncers, Hop Rocks and even the Jetpack would make a return in this concept as well. While it is highly unlikely that some of the features in the trailer will return, such as the Infinity Gauntlet, the idea is an interesting one and would certainly bring about some chaotic battles. So, do you like the idea of this ‘Overpowered’ game mode? Give us your thoughts by tweeting us @Dexerto and keep tabs on our Fortnite news page for all breaking stories related to the game.

Censor to focus on Fortnite, says he ‘wants a challenge’ – Dexerto
Censor to focus on Fortnite, says he ‘wants a challenge’ Ex-Call of Duty pro Doug ‘Censor’ Martin may switch to Fortnite as his main game, as hinted at in a statement he made during a vlog on November 10. In the vlog, he addressed fans’ concerns that he wasn’t playing enough Black Ops 4, to which he responded that he preferred the ‘challenge’ that Fortnite is currently providing him. “I just want to have some fun, man,” he admitted. “…I want to start playing the game a little bit more because I’m not that good at it, and it’s a challenge to me.” Censor also hopes to train with Fortnite professionals to hone his skills, citing teammate FaZe Cizzorz as one pro he’d like to be mentored by in the future. Censor additionally expressed some regret that he’d focused on Call of Duty so heavily during his time as a professional player for the game. “I’m really enjoying Fortnite right now,” he continued. “I’ve played so much CoD in my life… looking back, I wish I was getting good with Fortnite, because this game is such a challenge, and it’s something new for me all the time.” FaZe clan, of which Censor is a part, currently has a massive team of Fortnite pros; while Censor has since retired from competitive Call of Duty to focus on full-time content creation, his statements on the battle royale title could hint at another shift into competitive gaming in the future. While Censor assured his audience that he still has a love for Call of Duty, he aims to focus his sights on Fortnite in the interim.

Certain Fortnite usernames are now crashing the game – Dexerto
Certain Fortnite usernames are now crashing the game Epic Games[jwplayer Puy4UiEa]Fortnite players have been running into a strange bug that causes the battle royale to freeze and glitch if they eliminate a player who uses a certain letter or number in their name. Even though Fortnite is pretty much the mack daddy of battle royales, that doesn’t mean Epic Games have a perfect game. The developers have done a stellar job at plugging holes and fixing issues, but there are still some lingering problems. Players have constantly run into problems with the servers, a lot of them disagree with the current content that is in season three – be that because of the Mauraders or Sharks – and the teleporting whirlpools don’t currently work. However, some players have been encountering a frustrating problem that hasn’t been too big of an issue in previous seasons and actually probably needs to be seen to be believed. The problem was flagged by Reddit user hobleyyy, who noted that if you kill a player who has a symbol, letter or number in their Epic Games username, your game will freeze and bug out after the elimination. The Redditor even showed a video displaying highlights where, as they eliminated players who had a symbol in their name, the game quickly stuttered before returning back to normal a few seconds letter. As hobleyyy showed, it wasn’t just a one-time issue, as it happened to them multiple times. The Fortnite player even noted that they’ve run into the problem in previous seasons, but Epic hasn’t fixed it just yet. Other players even testified to having the bug hamper them as well. “Had that too, yesterday I was wondering, he had a name with only Chinese letters and it freezed for like 10 seconds, commented Clemibeast. Given that the problem lies with a player’s username, it probably is something for Epic to investigate in order to stop it becoming a hugely widespread issue that ruins games completely. Wheter or not they will do so anytime soon, however, is unknown given that they’ve got a set of problems already lined up for fixes in the coming v13.30 patch.

Ceice and Elevate win $100,000 WSOE Fortnite Event – Dexerto
Ceice and Elevate win $100,000 WSOE Fortnite Event Ceice and Elevate have won WOSE 3’s $100,000 Fortnite tournament after a dominating LAN performance that made headlines for planes and boomboxes. Despite the evenly matched field of 100 players, the same teams found themselves near the top each round. Two teams won two rounds each, with qualifiers Psalm and Rhux taking two, as well as leaders Ceice and Elevate. Heading into the final round, WOSE had a tight leaderboard with only 30 points separating the top 3 teams and plenty more in striking distance. The top two teams clashed in a head to head rarely seen in Fortnite esports, with first place Ceice and Elevate going after second place Psalm and Rhux to make sure they couldn’t be caught. The aggression paid off as Ceice eliminated Psalm, then Rhux followed. Zayt and Saf won the sixth and final round and due to their third overall place headed into the final, the tournament was left in a holding period as math was calculated to determine the winner. Second place Psalm and Rhux scored zero points in round 6, but Ceice and Elevate hung around long enough to potentially hold their top placing. And the elims were enough as Ceice and Elevate took home first place. WSOE Fortnite Final Placements Myth also made headlines for winning the $5,000 viral clip prize. Unfortunately for him, the clip that went viral was not an amazing play. Of course, it was Myth getting knocked by fall damage then being attacked by a Stormwing.

Can you use instrument controllers in Fortnite Festival? – Dexerto
Can you use instrument controllers in Fortnite Festival? Epic GamesEpic Games announced that you will not be able to use instrument controllers in the Fortnite Festival game mode at launch, and here we explain why there is no current support. Fortnite has collaborated with many huge artists, like rap phenoms Travis Scott and Eminem. Epic Games has also been working on a brand-new music event called Fortnite Festival, which brings another live in-game show and its own rock band-style music mode. Players were thrilled with Epic Games’ announcement of the fun new mode, with there still being a large number of players who loved classic music games like Guitar Hero, which allowed players to use instrument controllers like specialized instrument controllers. Fans initially hoped that Epic Games would also have integrated instrument controllers into Fortnite, but the developers recently released an official blog post that let players know that they will not be able to use them in the current state of the game. Fortnite Festival currently does not support instrument controllers Epic Games explained in the blog titled “Take your stage in Fortnite Festival!” all the new exciting content that will arrive with the event and new mode. However, they also revealed that it will not support instrument controllers at launch. The developers responded to the popular question by fans: “Does Fortnite Festival support instrument controllers?” “Not at launch,” Epic Games replied, “but it’s a priority for the team and currently under development. Will have more to share in 2024.” Fans were disappointed with this announcement, but there is still a bunch of exciting content in Fortnite to get stuck into: Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, a new map, Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and more.

Can you play Fortnite on iOS 14 beta? – Dexerto
Can you play Fortnite on iOS 14 beta? Epic Games / AppleApple have officially launched the beta for their latest operating system, iOS 14, but Fortnite players have one question in mind: Will they be able to play the battle royale game on it? While iOS 14 hasn’t rolled out in its full version just yet, with it expected to arrive on Apple devices around September 2020, the beta became immediately available after the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 22, with some lucky users being able to test it out on their iPhone. While Fortnite is primarily played on PC, Xbox One or PS4, it still has a huge playerbase on mobile devices, and now some of them are worried that this may be scarpering their plans to play the game. As the iOS 14 beta rolled out, a number of players were worried about updating their iPhones in case it meant that they wouldn’t be able to drop in and earn their victory royales. Now, Fortnite have been quick to reveal when iOS 14 beta users will be able to play the game, and it’s looking bleak for mobile players. FortniteStatus, the game’s official service status Twitter account, provided an update to mobile players, addressing the game’s current status on the iOS 14 beta. “We’re aware of connection issues on the iOS 14 beta for Fortnite Mobile,” they posted late on June 22. “Fortnite does not support iOS 14 beta at this time.” We’re aware of connection issues on the iOS 14 beta for Fortnite Mobile. Fortnite does not support iOS 14 beta at this time. pic.twitter.com/sw7lZ4BrIK — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) June 22, 2020 Evidently, if you’re planning on playing Fortnite on your iOS device, you should not be updating to the iOS 14 beta at all, or risk missing out on playing the game for the foreseeable future. Whether the beta ends up supporting Fortnite remains to be seen, but saying that it’s not available “at this time” may give mobile players a reason to be optimistic.

This will also go for your connectivity. The other limiting factor here is that you can’t access Fortnite on iOS or Android storefronts due to the game being pulled from both. You will have to use a streaming service like Amazon Luna or Nvidia Geforce to stream the game to your phone. For more information about this process, check out our guide.

Can you play Fortnite on a Mac? – Dexerto
Can you play Fortnite on a Mac? DexertoFortnite stands as one of the world’s most renowned games, accessible across a plethora of platforms. However, does this include compatibility with Mac devices? Here’s an overview of whether gamers can enjoy the Battle Royale experience on Mac. Epic Games’ Fortnite is extremely beloved and it’s had a record-breaking time recently with Season OG bringing a lot of fans back to the game thanks to the return of the original map, and a handful of new titles including LEGO Fortnite being released. The Battle Royale is readily available on a lot of platforms from PC to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch but if you prefer to use an Apple device, you may be curious to know if you can enjoy the game on Mac. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about whether or not you can run Fortnite on Mac. Is Fortnite available to play on Mac? Yes, Fortnite is available to play on Mac OS — but it requires a bit of a workaround for the best experience. Fortnite can be installed on Mac through MacOS Sonoma by using the Game Porting Toolkit to download Fortnite through the Epic Games launcher. Another option is through the Epic Games launcher on Mac OS, but users will be limited to version 13.40. Apple and Epic Games have been in an ongoing legal battle over the last few years after Fortnite was removed from the App Store over how they were handling microtransactions in the game. Since then, Epic removed support for Fortnite after the 13.40 update and hasn’t updated the game since. That’s everything you need to know about how to play Fortnite on Mac OS.

Can you kill Klombo in Fortnite? – Dexerto
Can you kill Klombo in Fortnite? Klombos are giant loveable dinosaur creatures who inhabit Fortnite’s island, but some players might want to challenge these behemoths to a fight. As a part of the Fortnite v19.10 update, Tilted Towers returned to the island after a long hiatus. While the city was meant to be the star of the update, players were more excited about their brand new dinosaur friend, Klombo. They are hearty-sized dinosaurs that were asleep under snow at the start of Chapter 3. After the ice thawed, these creatures began roaming the island in search of food. Players became obsessed with the Klombos almost as soon as they were released. However, there are some that might want to rid the island of these peaceful reptiles. Can you kill Klombo in Fortnite? Unlike other NPCs and animals, Fortnite’s Klombos cannot be killed. Despite being able to take damage from guns and explosives, they are invincible. According to Fortnite’s files, Klombos technically have 2,000 health points. And even though every weapon deals 1 damage, players can’t actually drain their health to 0. Despite being impossible, there are other reasons why you don’t want to mess with them. They may be friendly when first approached, but an angered one can deal serious damage. After taking 10 damage, they will go into a state of rage for 30 seconds. During this time they will charge at players and shoot acid balls from their heads. They also instantly destroy any builds they touch making their large bodies very hard to avoid. If you accidentally enrage a Klombo, there’s no need to worry. Just throw it some Klomberries and it’ll calm down. Don’t have any? Run! For more Fortnite, check out the best landing spots in Chapter 3.

Can you open Fortnite’s Helicarrier vault? – Dexerto
Can you open Fortnite’s Helicarrier vault? Epic GamesFortnite’s Helicarrier vault has caused plenty of intrigue to players and content creators alike, but can you actually open it? Well, here’s what we know. When Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 got underway, Epic Games followed Apex Legends by introducing vaults across the map. These hard to enter locations have wondrous loot inside and can be a gamechanger – if you can you take down the guards and find the keycard, that is. The vaults have stuck around through Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 4 with a handful of Marvel characters – including Iron Man and Doctor Doom – now being used as guards. While these two vaults can be opened pretty easily, there is one that has sparked much intrigue to players – the vault on the Helicarrier spawn island. Can you get into Fortnite’s Helicarrier vault? The Helicarrier vault looks like a normal vault. It has a big grey door and a keypad just to the left of it that says it requires a keycard to be opened. Plenty of players have tried taking the Doctor Doom and Iron Man keys up there, but as of right now, the only way to access it is either through replay mode or by glitching yourself in as Ali-A did. Though, if you do manage to glitch inside, don’t expect to find any loot. As of writing, there is no loot inside and it’s actually just an empty room. Will the Helicarrier move across the Fortnite map? That might sound disappointing to some fans, but, there is still hope that the vault can be accessible in the future. On top of it having a keypad and requiring a keycard, Fortnite data miners have uncovered files that suggest that the Helicarrier is actually going to move across the map and start to hover over certain areas. If it does move, and the Helicarrier plays a part in games rather than just being the spawn area, the vault should become accessible then. Though, it’s unconfirmed when that will be just yet. As it is, we’ll just have to keep an eye on Epic Games and their next few updates for a concrete answer on when you can get inside the vault. Once that becomes possible, attention will turn to how you get inside the vault and you can be sure that we’ll have an answer for you when the time comes.

Can you catch fire in LEGO Fortnite? – Dexerto
Can you catch fire in LEGO Fortnite? Epic GamesThe collaborative Fortnite game mode with LEGO has been launched, prompting player inquiries about outdoor survival. Among the initial steps is building a fire, but can that fire potentially pose more risks than benefits? LEGO Fortnite gives players a whole new world to navigate and explore. There are cute animals to pet, endless structures to build, and dangerous foes lurking around every corner. While the environment may be LEGO-fied, the world is straight out of Fortnite with similar animations and sounds. All of which adds to the fun survival style that has been implemented in the world. When players first launch the game, they will be faced with the task of gathering materials to start their survival journey. One of the first things players have to build is a campfire to keep warm from the night and the elements. Do campfires deal damage in LEGO Fortnite? The simple answer to this is no – campfires do not deal damage to the player. Unlike other survival titles like The Forest and Minecraft, the player does not take damage by walking over the campfire. Campfires are used as an element of survival in LEGO Fortnite. The player has to keep warm or risk possibly freezing to death. Cold can be brought on by the day turning to night or whenever it begins to rain. This requires the play to get close to the fire in order to warm themselves, but fear not! The fire will not add any extra worry when it comes to taking damage. LEGO Fortnite leaves that to the spiders and wolves that constantly roam the area.

Fortnite: Cameo vs Chic Challenge guide – all No Fishing locations – Dexerto
Fortnite: Cameo vs Chic Challenge guide – all No Fishing locations Epic GamesThe news set of Overtime challenge set, called Cameo vs Chic, has been released for Fortnite Chapter 2. Here’s how you complete the challenge that requires items to be caught with a Fishing Rod at three different locations with ‘No Fishing’ signs. The lengthy Season 1 of Fortnite Chapter 2 is nearly at an end, but not before some additional Overtime Challenges get released. The Cameo vs Chic set was released on January 30 and those who complete it earn a golden outfit skin of the same name. 12 challenges are included within that set, but players only need to complete nine of them if they want the cosmetic item. However, each completed challenge awards an additional 52,000 experience points, so there’s an incentive to do as many as you can. One of the objectives is to catch an item with a Fishing Rod at different locations with No Fishing signs. Fortunately, players won’t have to travel far to get to all three, as they are all located in the immediate vicinity around Slurpy Swamp and the Slurp factory. You can find one No Fishing sign directly north of the factory and to the east of the bridge that leads away from the factory. The other two are on the west side, with one directly west next to the boat spawn, and the other on the southwest, where the glowing, healing water touches the edge of the factory. The good news is that each spot has fishing rods available, but those could be taken by the time you get there, so perhaps you should save an inventory slot and take the first rod you find with you. You don’t have to get all three spots covered in a single game, so don’t worry if you get eliminated running from one to another. It also doesn’t matter what item you catch. This challenge is one of three initial objectives that players need to complete to unlock the rest of the set. The other two are to consume an apple, a mushroom, and a Slurpshroom, and to search five Rare Chests or Supply Llamas. As the image above indicates, completing these challenges is one of the ways players can unlock the Chic skin, albeit the only free method. The other way requires the purchase of the Battle Pass, as those who reach Tier 80 will also get the outfit added to their inventory.

Can you buy Fortnite accounts? Epic Games’ rules on Fortnite’s “black market” – Dexerto
Can you buy Fortnite accounts? Epic Games’ rules on Fortnite’s “black market” Epic GamesWondering if you can buy or sell Fortnite accounts online? Here’s what Epic Games’ rules say and the consequences you can face with the game’s black market trade. Cosmetic items in Battle Royale games are as rare and valuable as real money since players constantly desire them and they only appear for a limited time. Popular games like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, and others offer unique, unusual cosmetics that players are continuously trying to gain. Some of these cosmetics, especially in Fortnite, are exceptionally popular due to their rarity and limited availability (they may be part of a seasonal Battle Pass or a collaborative release), which makes them worth a pretty penny. The worth of accounts that have them is higher than those with free ones. Users who don’t have access to these rare cosmetics are constantly trying to get a leg up in the game, whether that’s by paying real money for them when they re-release or engaging in illegal account trading. For those who are wondering if it’s acceptable to buy a Fortnite account on the black market, we’ve laid out the facts and the repercussions for you right here Should you buy Fortnite accounts? The answer is No. The internet is rife with illicit websites that trade and sell Fortnite accounts, but you should never do it with your Epic Games account. This ensures that your personal information, such as your email address, date of birth, location, name, and more, are protected against potential financial scams. Some websites or businesses on various platforms, such as Telegram and Discord, steal users’ accounts and then sell them for exorbitant prices, sometimes reaching $5,000. In other words, you’re buying an illegal account, which could land you in hot water with law enforcement agencies. Players primarily seek out accounts that own uncommon skins, such as the Renegade Raider, Reaper, or Omega, or that possess pickaxes, like the Merry Mint Axe. Even though the deal doesn’t seem bad at first glance, you should be aware of Epic’s policies and the potential repercussions of engaging in such activities. What are Epic’s rules on the Fortnite Black Market? Right from the start, Epic Games has had extremely strict regulations to deal with stolen accounts. If an account is banned, the user associated with it will also be banned. If the harmful activity on the account is severe, the ban might be a hardware ban, an IP address ban, or even a combination of the two. Despite this, individuals who deal in stolen Epic Games accounts risk legal action and a permanent ban from using Epic services on any device. The same holds true for a credit card or V-Bucks theft since if you use them to purchase in-game items, your balance might be drained to negative, rendering you unable to purchase Fortnite cosmetics. Although purchasing uncommon items on the Fortnite Black Market entices consumers to part with their cash, it leads to the worst possible outcomes. That’s everything you need to know about Fortnite’s Black Market of account trading!

Bugha shows how he shuts down Fortnite stream snipers – Dexerto
Bugha shows how he shuts down Fortnite stream snipers Sentinels / Epic GamesAfter gaining international fame by winning 2019’s Fortnite World Cup, Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf is now subject to to the vast depths of stream snipers—but he is colorfully shutting them down. Back in April, Bugha was already getting sick of stream snipers, noting that streaming his competitive matches online was leading to people farming him for the “clout.” But that has only gotten worse, as the professional player’s scrims have been flooded with people trying to bait him by offering free meds before killing him (against his scrim’s zone rules). After initially deciding to simply stop streaming his competitive matches, he’s now come up with ways to curb stream snipers in his scrims too. If you come into Bugha’s scrims with any plans to subvert competitive integrity by trolling, be prepared to learn the error of your ways. The Sentinels star has decided to take a firm approach to any stream snipers, whether good or bad. And the approach is very simple: if he sees you treating him differently in a scrim and trying to give him stuff, he will immediately down you and leave you (and your stuff) to be revived in the hopes that you’ve learned a lesson. In his own words, “Now, get away. Learn your lesson, get away. Take your s**t and get away.” Following some experiences with “good stream snipers” who would drop meds for the World Cup winner, there have been the aforementioned instances of baiting in which snipers lure Bugha in with goodies before sucker-gunning him down. Read more: Has Tfue quit Fortnite? – Hopefully, the professor’s lesson is working, as those frustrating opponents should no longer expect their tricks to work given his recent switch to a no-nonsense policy regarding those who subvert the competitive integrity of his scrims. Even despite having his practice rounds interfered with by stream-watching nuisances, the cracked Fortnite pro continues to win money at events. For those considering joining his training regime in scrims, just be aware that Bugha’s eyes remain on the prize and that, should you interfere and disobey zone rules, he won’t hesitate to teach you a lesson.

Bugha stunned by Fortnite’s controller aim assist after crazy blind shot – Dexerto
Bugha stunned by Fortnite’s controller aim assist after crazy blind shot Fortnite star Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf managed to once again display the ridiculous powerful of controller aim assist by pulling off an insane kill during a duos match-up. Like many games that allow for keyboard and mouse versus controllers, Fortnite has run into some issues with the power of the latter’s aim assist – with some players equating it to having aim bot-like power. Of course, there are downsides to using a controller in terms of building vs PC players, but it is the aim assist in gunfights that has caused players like Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney to speak out and claim to have “less respect” for players who wield a controller. Yet, it’s Bugha who has dived head first to showcase how powerful it still is in Fortnite Chapter 2. The Fortnite World Cup winner had been playing alongside fellow Sentinels player Cayden ‘Carose’ Bradford in a few duo matches when swapped his usual keyboard and mouse set-up for a controller. Almost instantly, it worked as Bugha managed to deal 44 shield damage to a player that was stood behind a tree and who he even admitted that he couldn’t really see. “I just hit for 44 through a tree, couldn’t even see him,” he said before his teammate laughed at the ridiculousness of the callout. “Wow,” Bugha added. It’s not the only example of the Sentinels star showing just how crazy it can be when using a controller. He even tweeted out a clip on December 23 showing himself engaged in a build battle, before landing a perfect shot with the legendary pump shotgun on an unsuspecting player. Yet, he wasn’t finished there. Bugha even managed to quickly focus his attention on another foe who was trying to pick him off behind cover. Instead, the World Cup winner rained down a barrage of quick shots that scored him another stunning elimination. Of course, while the controller aim assist is still pretty ridiculous, it’s still unlikely that players trace out their keyboards and mice in favor of one. After all, it just takes a few changes from Epic Games to put a stop to overpowered assist – even if they try and keep it around to level the playing field.

Bugha reveals his new Fortnite Season 2 keybinds & settings – Dexerto
Bugha reveals his new Fortnite Season 2 keybinds & settings Bugha / Epic GamesJust in time for Fortnite Season 2, World Cup champ Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf revealed his updated keybinds and settings he uses to dominate the competition. If you ever want to play like the professionals, you need to think like them, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to mimic what they do in their games. It’s hard to think of many better pros to try and be like than Bugha, who famously took home the number one spot during the Fortnite World Cup. He is constantly pestered by viewers to reveal his settings, so that’s what he finally did in a YouTube video. In his upload, the Fortnite pro goes through all of the tabs the game offers so viewers know exactly how to set their graphics on PC to get the most frames-per-second out of matches. Read More: How to get Deadpool skin Fortnite Season 2 – Like most pros, he plays in 1080p, but instead of playing with a unlocked framerate, he caps it at 240. His draw distance, which will affect how far you’re able to see, is set to “Medium” while the rest of his settings are either off or on low. The most important thing, and what players are likely most interested in, are his keybinds and he went through and gave viewers a glimpse at those. For a game that uses as many as keys as Fortnite thanks to its building mechanic, it’s important to get something that feels right for you. Many players will use a mouse that has buttons on the side for their ramps and walls, but there are still several pros who still prefer using their keyboard. Bugha does use his mouse for a lot of his building, and he explains how he uses the side buttons to open up his inventory and build options, making everything all in one handy spot. (Segment begins at 5:19) Now, just because you copy someone’s keybinds doesn’t mean you’ll instantly become as good as they are. It will still take plenty of practice, and definitely won’t be an overnight thing.

A survey of 120 Fortnite pros revealed what the most popular equipment is among them, so if you do find yourself looking to improve your skills, it might be worth picking up some new peripherals. Who knows, if these new settings end up paying off – you could find yourself in the next Fortnite World Cup!

Bugha hits out at Fortnite pro Mackwood for stream sniping ahead of FNCS – Dexerto
Bugha hits out at Fortnite pro Mackwood for stream sniping ahead of FNCS Sentinels/ComplexityFortnite pros Bugha and Mackwood traded blows on Twitter after the Fortnite World Cup champion accused Mackwood and his trio of stream sniping him in an event. Just like many other esports over the last year, Fortnite’s competitive scene has suffered a fair bit as events have been few and between, and there has been a complete lack of LAN events. With 2021 getting underway, Epic Games revealed their competitive scene plans for the new year, bringing back the Fortnite Champion Series – FNCS – in a trios format. That is slated to start on February 14, and players have been getting practice in ahead of time, though, it has lead to back and forth between pros Bugha and Mackwood after stream sniping allegations were made. The pair, and their respective trios, competed in an open event on February 12, streaming the action for their fans. Read More: Fortnite quiz – Test your Season 5 knowledge – Bugha’s team were taken down by Mackwood’s at one point, resulting in the Fortnite World Cup champion dishing out stream sniping allegations on Discord. Mackwood exposed the heated exchange on Twitter afterwards, adding: “Why does this f**king trio think we stream snipe them every time we fight them, my god.” Though, he ramped things up from there, taking shots at Bugha and saying his ego is “insane.” That prompted the 18-year-old to respond, saying: “Yeah, definitely weird for me to assume you’re stream sniping when you do it in every custom with almost every trio I’ve ever played with because your teammate doesn’t know how to let go of a grudge.” WHY DOES THIS FUCKING TRIO THINK WE STREAM SNIPE THEM EVERY TIME WE FIGHT THEM MY GOD pic.twitter.com/aI15oZWUCh — MackWood (@MackWood1x) February 12, 2021 yea definitely weird for me to assume you’re stream sniping when you do it in every custom with almost every trio i’ve ever played with because your teammate doesn’t know how to let go of a grudge, and don’t claim you haven’t either i’ve had bucke admit to me that he has LOL — DIG Bugha (@bugha) February 12, 2021 The pair continued their back and forth with Mackwood adding: “This is the craziest s**t ever, just because your favorite streamers yells stream sniper doesn’t mean we are stream sniping,” and saying he had proof. That prompted a response from Bugha who noted that even if they didn’t stream snipe in the open event, it seemingly happens on a regular basis. “I just don’t understand why u do it all the time in scrims and then feel harassed when we call you out for it in-game? That just doesn’t make sense to me.” Mackwood further defended himself with a clip of the moment in question, showing how the fight had come to happen, and further claiming that he wasn’t stream sniping. and heres the streamable for anyone who still thinks we stream sniped https://t.co/KR6Vcx2EPq — MackWood (@MackWood1x) February 13, 2021 Even though Bugha dropped it afterwards, and sent some good vibes ahead of the FNCS starting, the respective teams will likely come head-to-head again at some point soon. Whoever comes out on top will have some bragging rights, even if the allegations continue.

How much does Bugha lose from his $3 million Fortnite World Cup prize money to tax? – Dexerto
How much does Bugha lose from his $3 million Fortnite World Cup prize money to tax? L: Eric Ananmalay/ESPAT Media. R: UnsplashFortnite World Cup winner Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf might have just netted himself $3 million dollars thanks to his incredible battle royale skills, but how much will be truly take home? While fans may have expected big names like Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney and Anthony ‘Bizzle’ Miller to duke it out for the Fortnite World Cup solos win, it was Sentinel’s star Bugha who stepped up. The 16-year-old dazzled on-lookers and fellow competitors with his skills as he racked up 59 points from the six games – taking the lead from the first match and never looking back. While much has been made about the cash dished out by Epic Games for the event, the harsh reality of tax means that his parents won’t be depositing a $3 million cheque into a bank or savings account for him any time soon. Prize winnings in New York fall under their own tax that currently sits at 8.82% – meaning that Bugha owes the state around $264,600 just for competing and winning. The state is in for a windfall too, considering they’ll take money from everyone involved. However, it doesn’t end there for Bugha. Ryan from RushB Media calculated that the 16-year-old, despite his young age, also has to stump up the cash to pay the 39.4% amount of the US’ top tax bracket. From his $3 million winners paycheque, that total comes out to an eye-watering $1,182,000 million. In total, the battle royale star would have to deduct $1,446,600 from his total earning, leaving him with a touch over $1,500,000 to do with as he pleases. So for @bugha, in winning $3m, he actually owes the Federal Governent $1.2m and the state of New York $265,000, approximately. His final take home should be somewhere around $1.5m. — Ryan (@RyanAtRBM) July 29, 2019 Of course, considering he’s 16, it’s unlikely that he goes around and splashes out on a brand new car or heads to his local nightclub. In fact, despite his media tour – where he even appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon – Bugha has not revealed what he is eyeing up with his winnings. Regardless of that first big purchase, it’s probably not the best idea to be thinking about the huge number of in-game cosmetics. There are plenty of better things to buy than those.

Bugha hits out at Epic Games over Fortnite tournaments region system – Dexerto
Bugha hits out at Epic Games over Fortnite tournaments region system Epic gamesFortnite World Cup Solo’s winner, Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf has hit out at Epic Games for allowing players to compete in other regions. Fortnite’s weekly events such as the Champions Series Trio’s tournament is often streamed by professional players and streamers. However, despite their popularity amongst viewers, World Cup winner, Bugha, expressed his concerns for the weekly events’ current region system, which often sees European players competing in the North American tournaments and vice versa. The Sentinels star had enough of matching up with high-ping players from other continents and criticized the popular battle royale developers for allowing them to compete outside of their local region. Bugha also claimed that certain players would even “grief” or purposefully sabotage other competitors while playing in Bugha’s NA-East events. “Why are other regions able to play on yours in tournaments,” The World Cup winner asked, explaining his concerns with the current system, “All they do is grief.” why are other regions able to play on yours in tournaments, all they do is grief — SEN Bugha (@bugha) September 7, 2019 Although streamers and pros are less likely to take the tournament as serious when competing in another region, there are many pro players who try their best to make the tournament as competitive as possible regardless of what region the online event is based in. One European star who is often seen competing at a high level in North American tournaments is FaZe Clan’s Mongraal, who recently finished 3rd in one of the Solo Cash Cups. It is unknown if Epic Games will look to take on Bugha’s criticism and change the current region system or even introduce harsher punishments for those found guilty of griefing in order to make the weekly Fortnite tournaments more competitive again.

Bugha becomes free agent as Sentinels abandon Fortnite esports – Dexerto
Bugha becomes free agent as Sentinels abandon Fortnite esports Bugha/Epic GamesFortnite World Cup winner Bugha is now a free agent, following an announcement that esports team Sentinels will no longer focus on Epic’s battle royale. The now-famous Fortnite Battle Royale player rose to stardom a few years ago upon winning the Fortnite World Cup in 2019. Bugha, real name Kyle Giersdorf, joined the Sentinels organization in early 2019. His victory at the World Cup that summer earned him more than millions in prize money. The pro player’s likeness has since appeared in Fortnite as a cosmetic outfit, for example. But the tide in esports currently sits in the midst of change; said change has come for Bugha’s role with the Sentinels. Sentinels’ Fortnite decision makes Bugha a free agent Sentinels CEO Rob Moore has confirmed the organization’s plan to no longer compete in games geared towards Epic’s battle royale. According to Moore, Sentinels will “focus on games that provide the opportunity to activate for [its] sponsors or offer team-branded in-game content.” Since Fortnite presently offers no such option, the organization will stop participating in Fortnite competitions. Fortnite pros Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, Nick “Aspect” McGuire, and Brian “Zyfa” Wielgolaski are no longer signed with Sentinels as a result. Bugha’s departure will especially shock fans that have long followed the Fortnite esports scene. After all, his 2019 World Cup win marked the first consequential victory for the Sentinels brand. Esports organizations across the industry have begun to weigh their options going forward, as external investments aren’t what they used to be. Organizations such as Sentinels, thus, need to monetize their efforts by other means. Highly publicized events where player jerseys and the like can advertise sponsors to viewers help tremendously in this regard. But Epic presently shows no sign of hosting another event on the scale of the World Cup competition that Bugha won under the Sentinels label three years ago.

Bugha handed “competitive warning” after FNCS teaming allegations – Dexerto
Bugha handed “competitive warning” after FNCS teaming allegations Twitch: Epic GamesAlmost 12 months to the day since he won the Fortnite World Cup 2019, Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf has been handed an “official warning” by Epic Games for cheating in the FNCS after allegedly teaming in the Solos event. Bugha has been caught in hot water for allegedly cheating in the FNCS Solos qualifiers over the last week. While on stream playing the FNCS qualifiers, the 2019 World Cup champion was on a call with friend ‘Owl’. After Bugha got jumped on and killed by ‘co1azo’, the Solos champion called out to his friend to take down co1azo. “Bro, sh*t on this kid Owl,” Bugha said as Owl pushed the box he died in. Co1azo ended up taking down Owl too, with the two knocked out of that match. However, this little action caught the eyes — and the ire — of the community. Hundreds of people on Reddit were calling out Bugha, asking Epic to look at banning the World Cup champion for colluding. “If Dubs got banned for what he did, this should be a ban [in my opinion]. How are you allowed to be in the same call as someone who is in the same game and location and be communicating to them?” one player asked. Epic did end up taking action. Three days after the qualifier, Bugha was handed an “competitive warning” for collusion and match fixing. However, he was not suspended, and will be able to play this weekend’s FNCS Finals. “Due to your recent actions, you have been issued a competitive warning for collusion and match fixing. Please refrain from repeat offenses or you may receive an account ban,” the notice read. Under Section 8.2.2 of the official FNCS ruleset, “players may not work together to deceive or otherwise cheat other players during any match.” Bugha defended himself after receiving the warning, but not through his own words. Owl was also handed an official warning from Epic, and he made a statement that was retweeted by the 2019 World Cup champion. “Me, Bugha, and Nosh were all in the same call in that game.

Bugha explains how Fortnite should fix controller aim assist issues – Dexerto
Bugha explains how Fortnite should fix controller aim assist issues Sentinels/Epic GamesFortnite superstar Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf has explained how Epic Games can fix the battle royale’s aim assist issues by laying out two ideas for possible changes. As Fortnite has cross-platform play and optional inputs, controller users can take on keyboard and mouse players, and there have been endless debates about what Epic Games can do to balance aim assist versus normal aiming. The developers of the battle royale game made a pretty big change on March 13, removing the legacy aim assist option from the game’s settings. However, some players like Bugha are still hoping that they go even further and make another balancing change to level the playing field. The Fortnite World Cup solo champion laid out his two ideas for changes via Twitter on April 2, showing how he’d change things for both controller players and keyboard and mouse users. “Option one, Mouse and Keyboard: Same recoil as controller. Remove Scroll wheel reset. Controller – Lower aim assist strength,” Bugha tweeted as his first idea. The Sentinels star followed that up with another option, suggesting that keyboard and mouse players could have the same recoil as a controller while retaining the scroll wheel reset. As for controller users, they would have lower aim assist strength but have a one-button reset option like the scroll wheel. Option 1⃣ M&K- Same recoil as controller | Remove Scroll wheel resetController- Lower aim assist strength Option 2⃣ M&K- Same recoil as controller | Keep Scroll wheel resetController- Lower aim assist strength | Add one button reset Thoughts? — DIG Bugha (@bugha) April 1, 2020 Some players quickly jumped on board with the World Cup winner’s ideas, suggesting that the better of Bugha’s two was the second option. Yet, others pointed out that keyboard and mouse users would benefit from either option much more than controller users. While professional stars like Bugha can chime in with their own ideas, the final say on any changes comes from Epic and it is difficult to say as to whether or not they have anything in the works. It still remains to be seen as to whether or not they will address the aim assist balance in the near future.

Bugha explains why he’d never quit Fortnite for another battle royale – Dexerto
Bugha explains why he’d never quit Fortnite for another battle royale Epic GamesKyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf is one of the best Fortnite players going around, and that’s not likely to change in 2020, after the Solos World Cup champion explained why he isn’t the quitting competitive battle royale any time soon. As far as Fortnite players go, it’s hard to come by one more decorated than Bugha. Winning the World Cup 2019 in solos shot the then 16-year-old to fame, and since then, he’s proven time and time again it wasn’t a fluke. He’s racked up his fair share of Cash Cup wins, and had consistently good performances across squads and duos in the last 12 months. It’s hard to see a player of his calibre give up his title, but stranger things have happened in esports. However, even if you put his results aside, it’d be hard to draw Bugha away from Fortnite. His love for the game is deep, and it’d take something highly innovative for him to jump ship. Him joining the Fortnite ship in the first place was because of innovation, after all. Fortnite took the battle royale genre, which was just starting to become a big thing, and turned it into a creative masterpiece, according to Bugha. From the art style, to the fast-paced gameplay, and even just the fact it was a battle royale — everything Bugha saw in Fortnite lured him to pick up the game and become the best. Read more: Ninja and SypherPK form star duo for FNCS – “I really liked the idea that you’d be the last one standing and you’d eliminate every other person,” he explained in an interview with ESPN. “It kind of reminded me of Search & Destroy in CoD, and I love that game mode, so coming from that to battle royale, I loved it.” Fortnite’s unique building mechanic was the big draw card though. It made the game feel more like a sandbox with an infinite amount of solutions and possibilities that allowed players to express their skill in so many different ways. Bugha saw that if he could nail building — by emulating the likes of TSM star Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani in the early days of Fortnite — he could become the best. “I think I’d say [I fell in love with Fortnite immediately]. The whole building aspect of the game just made me want to keep getting better at building, the aiming aspect, I just wanted to get better with my edits and it got me hooked forever,” he said. “I thought [building and editing] was really cool because I hadn’t played a game before where you could do your own mechanics and create your own things. It reminded me of Minecraft in a way.” For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 5:27. While he’s dabbled in games outside of Fortnite since then, like Apex Legends and more recently Warzone, nothing has been able to draw him away from the Epic-developed battle royale, and it’s unlikely anything will. “I think those games [Apex Legends and other battle royales] have a lot to them, but Fortnite in my heart is just going to be the best because of the whole building aspect and being able to do your own thing,” he said. “You can categorise yourself as a different kind of player based on how you build or edit, and I think that’s really good.” If a new game came along with a more interesting creative mechanic maybe Bugha would make the jump. However, for now, the Solos champ is focusing his attention on defending his World Cup title and not only becoming the game’s best player, but the best he can be.

Bugha & Dakotaz hit out at “brainless” Fortnite devs over Marauders – Dexerto
Bugha & Dakotaz hit out at “brainless” Fortnite devs over Marauders Reddit: ThatPumpkinHookTop Fortnite players Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf and Brett ‘Dakotaz’ Hoffman have vented their dismay at having their games disrupted by the Marauders NPCs, with Dakotaz calling the devs “brainless” for introducing them. Even though the Fortnite battle royale mode is all about player vs player combat, over the different seasons, Epic Games have added NPC characters to throw an additional threat into the mix. With the start of Chapter 2, Season 3, the groups of Marauders descended on Fortnite to deal damage to players. The groups have different types of enemies – some who prefer to do damage up close, and those that stand at range and hit players with their deadeye abilities. Though they can be pretty harmless at times, players have been getting incredibly annoyed with the NPCs – with some, like Dakotaz, even deciding to just quit out of games instead of being taken down by them. Dakotaz had recent games ruined by the disruption of the Marauders, with some pushing him while he was healing in a house. He was even sniped out of the air by another group which caused him to vent. “This is so bad. How do they think that’s a good thing?” the streamer asked while waiting for a new match. “I’m not even angry, I’m just baffled at how they even think that’s a good thing in the game. Dude, some of these devs are brainless, I’m telling you man.” Dakotaz also noted that the NPCs “aggro you too heavily” as they don’t care about the distance between you and them. He isn’t alone in his criticism though. A compilation from DailyClipsCentral compiles reactions from others too. Fortnite World Cup champion Bugha called them “dumb” after being pushed by a group. “Why are there Marauders in the game?” he asked after being eliminated by the Marauders. “Like, why is my entire game griefed because they spawn on me?” Bugha also labeled them as “annoying” given that he’d waited for half-an-hour to find a game, only to be eliminated by the NPCs and not an actual enemy. Given that NPC enemies were brought back into the mix with the start of the previous season and given a big part to play, it’s unlikely that Epic Games will be getting rid of them anytime soon. Players will have to follow the lead of others and try their best to avoid the enemies.

BRUTES meet explosive end with new Fortnite “virus” – Dexerto
BRUTES meet explosive end with new Fortnite “virus” Epic GamesThe Fortnite community will rejoice now that the devs are finally getting rid of the infamous BRUTE mechs with the help of a new “virus”, presumably from the Visitor. Epic Games has been receiving major backlash in the game since Season X introduced new elements to the battle royale’s formula. While the Fortnite devs initially stood their ground on the BRUTES, they eventually caved to popular demands by slowly taking the bots out of the game. Now it looks like the devs are now poking fun at themselves as the events of Season X are starting to see the mechs crash and burn upon their arrival to the battle royale island, much like their reception when they were first introduced to the Fortnite community. Various clips from community members are showing what some have been hoping for since the start of the tenth season, which is the quick elimination of the BRUTE mechs. BRUTEs routinely rocket down from the sky when they spawn in the game, but it seems like the effects of the v10.40 patch is destroying them on impact. While players have been having an immediate positive outlook on the update, lore enthusiasts are speculating that the devs are weaving the new development into Season 10’s story. “People are saying that BRUTES are exploding upon landing on the ground,” user ‘worrywirt’ said. “What if it’s not a bug? What if the Visitor is causing the BRUTES to explode upon entering the map?” A previously leaked file for the game showing a “virus” inside of the BRUTE mech’s system are reportedly showing up on the TV screens in Dusty Depot. The Visitor’s intentions and how they figure into Fortnite’s story is still unknown, but it seems like they will at least clean up a major nuisance plaguing the battle royale. Even though the BRUTEs don’t look like they’ll cause players many problems, the explosion can still harm people, as one person noted: “And here I thought I just had a really, really strong head when one landed on me and exploded (left me at 1HP lmao).” With the BRUTEs slowly getting phased out of the game, it seems like Season X will still have plenty of surprises in store for Fortnite players.

Bugha apologizes for Fortnite snaking ahead of Season 7 FNCS – Dexerto
Bugha apologizes for Fortnite snaking ahead of Season 7 FNCS Bugha / Epic GamesBugha apologized to fellow pros after trying to ‘snake’ Reverse2K out of his Fortnite trio ahead of the next FNCS, which caused a rift in other trios across the NAE region. Fortnite FNCS has been on a standstill since the conclusion of Season 6’s finals, and the FNCS All-Star Showdown towards the end of June. But, on July 14 there’s been a flurry of drama that has kept the community entertained. Three trios have now undergone roster changes that’ll definitely shake up the landscape of the North American East scene for the next competition, and some trios are likely going to be taking a step back this season after the roster moves. Bugha apologizes for latest Fortnite snaking There’s been some notable changes within trios ahead of the next FNCS qualifiers, and centered around these changes is none other than Fortnite World Cup Champion, Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf. Read More: Fortnite pro Saf a free agent once again – Essentially, Bugha split from Tim ‘Bizzle’ Miller and Cody ‘Clix’ Concord after their disappointing FNCS performance, where they failed to qualify for the Grand Final. Bugha then hit up former teammate Avery to possibly squad up, but here’s where things get complicated. After a couple of practice matches with Avery, Bugha then decided to link up with two-time FNCS champions Deyy and Mero, who agreed to add him as a third. This left Malachi ‘Reverse2K’ Greiner looking for a new team since he was the odd-man-out after Bugha joined. With Bugha now teaming with these two players, this also means that Avery has been forced to go back to his old trio of Josef ‘Stretch’ Liepshutz and Rocco ‘Saf’ Morales. But that only created more drama since Stretch and Saf have already stated they don’t want to play with Avery anymore. Stretch, Saf and Avery are still listed as a trio for FNCS. Avery clarified that he has no intention of signing the form needed to disband the trio. That’s left Stretch and Saf in the dust, not knowing what to do ahead of Season 7’s FNCS, along with Reverse2K since he was phased out of his old trio by Bugha. I feel bad for doing this I understand if stretch or saf end up not playing grand finals I wouldnt blame them I just dont have any other options available like I said idk im just lost getting snaked by bugha once again after 1 cc lol (2/2) — C9 Avery (@Avery_FN) July 14, 2021 With a wide array of moves coming to light, Bugha has since apologized for the mayhem that his decisions have caused within the NAE region. But, we highly doubt this will be the last roster move we see before the next FNCS. First i’d like to clarify the fact that no matter what happens in the scene or what people say, if you have the drive to win in fortnite, you’re going to do what’s best for yourself. Besides that, i’d like to apologize to the people that i’ve affected by snaking. 1/4 — Bugha (@bugha) July 14, 2021 Drama is not hard to come across within the competitive Fortnite community, and this time around it has certainly delivered some of the most unanticipated roster moves we’ve seen in quite a while.

BRUTE Mechs are finally getting ‘nerfed’ in Fortnite, but everyone’s still angry – Dexerto
BRUTE Mechs are finally getting ‘nerfed’ in Fortnite, but everyone’s still angry Epic GamesEpic Games have finally addressed the overpowered B.R.U.T.E. mech suits in Fortnite Battle Royale, although the changes haven’t exactly been received all too well. On August 9, Epic Games released their latest blog post on the competitive side of things in Fortnite, discussing their plans for competitions that will be taking place in Season X. One of the topics brought up was the BRUTE mech suits, arguably the most controversial addition to the popular battle royale title in its nearly two years of existence. Considering how negative the community feedback on these robots has been since the start of Season X, the developers announced that the next update will finally implement a nerf, if it can even be called that. We’ve been monitoring the impact of the B.R.U.T.E. in gameplay and are investigating ways to enhance combat feedback when interacting with the vehicle. In v10.10, we will add a targeting laser that will show the direction the B.R.U.T.E. is aiming its rockets while they are being charged. This laser will have directional audio to help indicate when it’s being pointed at you, even if you’re behind a structure. We’ve also fixed a few mobility bugs that we’re allowing players to exploit its boost mechanic. Players will now get a warning when being targeted by the BRUTE’s rockets. Understandably, this news has done very little to appease the majority of the player-base, who has been asking for the removal of BRUTEs since the start of Season X. This so-called nerf isn’t expected to have any kind of significant mitigating effect on the power of these robots, since it won’t do anything in terms of lowering their 1,000 HP health or limiting their ability to do immense damage during fights. Instead, it will simply offer players a visual and auditory warning whenever they’re being targeted by a mech’s rockets, and the effectiveness of these warnings is yet to be seen. Looks like the BRUTE mech suits are here to stay for the foreseeable future. Ironically, Epic Games’ August 9 blog post has actually sent many players into further uproar, especially prominent members of the competitive and content creation communities. This is because Epic also announced that the BRUTE mech suits will not be removed from any of the core default modes, meaning that they are to remain in both Arena and cash prize tournaments for the foreseeable future. “The B.R.U.T.E. remains within the core game modes (Solo, Duos, and Squads), select Limited Time Modes, and in competitive Arena and Tournament play,” they wrote. “We’ll communicate any future iterations to the vehicle as we’re continuing to investigate a few more areas where we can improve combat interactions.” This has garnered a lot of negative feedback in the short time since the post went live, and we’ve gathered some of the reactions below for your convenience.

Laser and I hear…………. gota go they are here! — :crown:KingRichard:crown: (@KingRichard) August 9, 2019 While it may seem inevitable that Epic Games will eventually either heavily nerf or vault these robots, the developers seem to be standing their ground for now.

Bruno Mars getting his own Fortnite emote themed after Leave the Door Open – Dexerto
Bruno Mars getting his own Fortnite emote themed after Leave the Door Open Epic Games/Bruno MarsFortnite is getting a new emote based on Bruno Mars’ new song ‘Leave the Door Open’ some time in the near future according to the artist himself. Fortnite is known for its inclusion of songs and emotes from real-life artists. Numerous celebrities like DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, and more have had their songs included in some way within the game as emotes, and it looks like a new one will be coming in the very near future. On April 2, 2021, Bruno Mars tweeted a video of a dance for he and Anderson Paak’s new song Leave the Door Open, which was released at the beginning of the month as a part of the Silk Sonic group. The tweet also tagged the official Fortnite Twitter account and featured the character 8-Ball vs Scratch dancing along with it. Yo @FortniteGame let ya uncle Brunz teach ya how to swang to this thang 😎✨#LeaveTheDoorOpen#WearAMask #SilkSonic pic.twitter.com/IxCz2czctG — Bruno Mars (@BrunoMars) April 2, 2021 A short time later, notable Fortnite leakers, including HYPEX and ShiinaBR, decrypted the actual in-game emote confirming that it’ll be available within the Item Shop at some point in the near future as a part of the Icon Series. Read More: The rarest Fortnite skins of all time – As for the emote’s design, it seems to be a fairly simplistic dance but most people will be buying it so that they can play the song while roaming the island.

Brutal Fortnite trick lets you kick out players hijacking your car permanently – Dexerto
Brutal Fortnite trick lets you kick out players hijacking your car permanently Epic GamesAre you fed up of having an unwanted passenger in your vehicle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3? Check out this trick that can help you get rid of them. With the addition of Nitro Cars and Vehicle Mods, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has brought a completely different meta compared to the previous season. And while Epic has nerfed cars recently, it goes without saying that playing in Solos with this new meta can still be a painful experience. If you managed to get your hands on a decent car, the chances of other players hijacking your car are pretty high. In fact, in one player’s experience, it had gotten to a point where all four players in the final circle decided to hop in one car instead of fighting each other. So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re stuck with an unwanted passenger in Fortnite, this particular trick that was shared in a Reddit thread is something you can try to teach them a lesson. What you’re going to need for this trick to work is a Boogie Bomb, a Rift, and the Floating Island. To kick the hijacker out of your car permanently, drive to the Floating Island, which is marked on the map once it spawns. Find a Rift nearby. There’s usually one underneath or near the Floating Island area. When you enter the Rift, your entire vehicle will also be teleported with you. Now’s your chance to land on the Floating Island to pull off the next move. Your main objective as soon as you land on the Floating Island is to drive your car forward until it falls off the edge. However, just before that, make sure you exit the car and throw a Boogie Bomb into the vehicle. With the right timing, the unwanted passenger will be forced to dance outside the car and fall to their death. They won’t be able to use their glider to land safely, as shown in the clip. It’s a pretty brutal trick for sure, but if you’re tired of others freeloading in your vehicle, it’s worth a try. Plus, you might get some of the best weapons from looting them.

Broken Fortnite Launch Pad bug is costing players Victory Royales – Dexerto
Broken Fortnite Launch Pad bug is costing players Victory Royales Epic GamesFortnite’s v11.50 update reintroduced Launch Pads into the game, but with them came a new bug that could end up costing players some well-deserved Victory Royales. Through most of Chapter 2’s first season, players were forced to traverse the gigantic map without the use of any mobility options. Previous seasons had vehicles like Stormwing planes, Ballers, and even golf carts as a way to get around, but all of that has disappeared. Finally, near the end of Season 1, Epic Games decided to throw players a bone and bring Launch Pads back into the game. By having them again, it opened up many more playing styles because being stuck out in the storm was no longer such a big deal. However, some costly bugs have entered the game as a result of their return. Reddit user PuppyScrubber17 posted a clip showing that if you put down the Launch Pad over an object, not only will it not destroy the obstruction anymore, but it also won’t propel you into the air. By the time they realize their escape route wasn’t going to work, they were already beamed by another player and eliminated from the game. Obviously, that can end up being a very devastating glitch, so it’ll be important for the developers to get that one ironed out as soon as possible. Given the fact the Launch Pad remains one of the only ways players can get around the map quickly, having a bug like this stay in the game would pretty much wipe out any of the uses they have. Luckily, this doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue as of yet, so it could have just been a case of bad luck. The Redditor explains they were playing on Xbox One X, which could be the source of the problems. Many players have been reporting issues with Fortnite’s performance on console since the launch of Chapter 2. Whatever the case may be, we’ll just have to hope Epic will get on it fast. To find out what bugs are currently being worked on, you can always head over to the game’s Trello board to see what’s been reported.

Broken Silver Surfer Board trick lets Fortnite players phase through walls – Dexerto
Broken Silver Surfer Board trick lets Fortnite players phase through walls Epic GamesThe all-new Marvel items and super powers have been a hit with Fortnite players. However, in a competitive sense, Silver’s Surfers Board might be the most broken. This broken trick is allowing players to phase through walls with the board, making it a must-find. Silver Surfer’s Board might just be one of the most broken items added into Fortnite. Part of Season 4’s Nexus War Marvel takeover, the movement item gives players a chance to fly high up in the air almost instantly. While it’s good in open spaces, so you can pull out your umbrella and glide to places, players are finding a use for it closer to the ground. It appears that you can even used the board while inside a building, or boxed in a fight, to escape. Reddit user ‘MajorLeagueGMoney’ shared the tip on August 31, which completely revolutionizes how to play late-game fights. If you are getting surrounded by builds, or if you find yourself in a box fight you’re not going to win, all you need to do is pop your Silver Surfer Board. Activating the board will throw you well outside of the build as the animation kicks off. It’s almost like you vanish in thin air for your opponent. After you dash out, you have two options: flee, or fight. While the Redditor claimed the trick was “sort of situational, but can be useful for getting free tags [or] losing your enemy,” others have labeled it downright broken. You don’t even need open walls to pop the board — you can do it in a completely closed off box. “Sh*t’s a little broken,” one Redditor added. “You can essentially bail yourself out of any outplay the opponent makes on you. Also it’s really good for just mobility.” While there’s a 15 second cooldown between uses of the board, the one-time use can be enough to reposition yourself to win a fight — much like what MajorLeagueG did in the clip. Obviously, such a broken item can really swing the tides of competitive play. Given there’s only a few of these boards dotted around the map at different Quinjets, those who get their hands on it will certainly have an advantage in fights. It remains to be seen if this ability is intentional, or just an exploit or bug. If Epic decides to keep the mechanic in, you’ll have to be weary of your opponent disappearing in your box fight, as they could reappear right behind you on Silver Surfer’s Board.

Broken Fortnite glitch lets players shoot through Cow Catchers – Dexerto
Broken Fortnite glitch lets players shoot through Cow Catchers Epic GamesA wild new Fortnite glitch is allowing players to shoot an opponent directly through their Cow Catcher and kill them despite being behind cover. Five years since its release and Fortnite seems to be stronger than ever. Epic Games has renewed interest in the Battle Royale shooter after they made the drastic decision to remove building entirely from the game. The move has piqued interest from players and streamers alike, with both Pokimane and xQc hopping back into the game for the first time in a while. Although the changes have had a positive reaction, one player encountered an unfortunate glitch with a new item that cost them a match. Fortnite player encounters game-losing Cow Catcher bug Reddit user radioactivejason2004 was playing the shooter when he got shot directly through a Cow Catcher. Cow Catchers are new item in Fortnite that are both a vehicle modification and can provide emergency cover when in a firefight. Jason attempted to use the Cow Catcher to protect themself from gunfire up above, but was shot directly through the protection. They titled their post, “Uhhh, why did I get shot through my cover?” Comments flooded the post attempting to find the exact reason why this bug occurred, with some pointing to the game’s issues with rendering. Read More: Best Fortnite Escape Room codes & maps – The top-rated post said, “Rendering bug. If someone is far away, they can shoot you through the cover. Someone that was in 5th place a the no-building tournament died like this yesterday.” Despite the bugs with Cow Catchers players have encountered, star players like PKSypher still believe they are an incredibly strong item.

Brilliant Fortnite concept would make looting weapons much easier – Dexerto
Brilliant Fortnite concept would make looting weapons much easier epic gamesAn ingenious Fortnite fan has come up with a new way to make sure you’re always carrying the most powerful versions of weapons available to you in the game. One of the main aspects of the popular battle royale title is looting, as players search chests and buildings as they hunt for weapons and items that they hope will help propel them to a victory royale. Fortnite’s weapons come in a variety of different rarities, with the different versions offering players more powerful guns as they attempt to take out their opponents. However, as players find new weapons, they can often come across stronger editions of the gun they are currently holding, and replacing it can be a nuisance, especially if you’re trying to do it quickly, as Fortnite players have to open their inventory, drop the item and then pick up the new one. However, this concept from Cynadote on the Fortnite subreddit would see the game automatically switch weapons for those of higher value, without taking up an extra space in your inventory, or forcing you to go through the menus to drop the lower rarity item. While Fortnite fans on Reddit feel this would be a good idea, they would also like to see Epic Games add a new tool to the game where certain inventory slots were reserved for a specific item. For example, assault rifles would automatically go into slot number one, while healing items would go straight into the fifth inventory slot when picked up. While there is no official plans to add this concept to Fortnite, Epic Games take player feedback very seriously, and it’s always possible that they may choose to use this in the future.

Broken Fortnite exploit gives players unlimited Marvel hero abilities – Dexerto
Broken Fortnite exploit gives players unlimited Marvel hero abilities Epic Games / MarvelThe new Marvel hero abilities modeled after characters like Doctor Doom and Silver Surfer have taken players by storm in Season 4. They are exceptionally strong, however, a new exploit has made them even stronger — by giving players unlimited access to them. As part of Fortnite’s Nexus War Season 4 event, Epic introduced a number of Marvel hero themed abilities into the game. From Doctor Doom’s Mystical Bomb to Groot’s Bramble Shield, every character is getting some sort of item in the game. While some haven’t been added yet, players are already making use of the ones that are. The abilities are already pretty strong, forcing Epic to gate them behind a cooldown so they can only be used every 15 seconds or so. However, players have already found a workaround that gives them infinite charges — just sharing the items. While such an exploit won’t work in solos, in duos, trios, or squads, you can easily get access to unlimited charges of the Marvel abilities. The cooldown for the abilities are attached to the players, not the items themselves. This means you can use it, pass to your squadmate, then pass it on again. Once it cycles back the original user, it should be off cooldown already. Pro players like Clix, MackWood, and Calc are already abusing the strat in pro scrims and public lobbies. The items are all available in competitive play, which means come FNCS and other tournaments, it’s likely such sharing will become more prominent. In case it wasn’t clear enough, here’s exactly how you can replicate the ‘exploit’ to remove the cooldown: Find one of the mythic Marvel items – Let one squadmate use it – Drop it so another squadmate can pick it up – That squadmate should be able to use the Marvel item instantly with no cooldown – Keep cycling between your squad to get unlimited abilities – Obviously, such a broken mechanic probably shouldn’t fly in competitive play, or even regular play. It could be that such a tactic is unintentional. If so, Epic is probably looking into a fix. However, Epic haven’t commented on changing the cooldown or nerfing the items. Segment begins at 4:12. As more of the mythic Marvel items get added into the game, it’s only going to be more likely this abuse becomes a center-piece of how to play in Season 4. There’s still items like Thor’s Mjolnir hammer and Iron Man’s suit waiting to be added, according to dataminers. If you have some friends you are queuing up in Season 4 with, be sure to abuse this tactic while it lasts. If not, you could just face off against someone else who is, and you’ll be at a disadvantage almost immediately.

Brand New Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle Coming to Fortnite Battle Royale – Dexerto
Brand New Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle Coming to Fortnite Battle Royale A new in game daily message has gone live in Fortnite Battle Royale, showcasing a brand new assault rifle ‘coming soon’. Epic Games, developer of Fortnite, is constantly at work bringing new items, skins and even weapons to the battle royale mode, in an effort to keep the experience fresh for the massive player base. Weekly content updates are typically when fans can expect these new items to arrive, with recent additions including the shopping carts, bouncer traps and shield mushrooms. It has been a few weeks since a brand new weapon was introduced however, with the last time being the ‘Famas’ burst assault rifle. For the next new weapon, it looks like Epic Games feel the assault rifle category needs another new addition, with a new Thermal Scoped rifle being unveiled. There is already a scoped rifle in Fortnite, giving players a lot of extra range than the unscoped AR’s, however in comparison to a sniper rifle it is relatively inadequate. This new thermal scoped AR may be Epic’s attempt at a weapon which can more effectively provide a cross between a sniper and a regular AR. The description “new high power assault rifle makes it easier to find enemies” certainly hints at it perhaps having a slightly higher damage output at range than the other AR’s. While there is no details on the exact stats, the image does suggest it will be a legendary weapon with the golden/orange background. Although no date is given as to when it will be dropping in game, it is most likely it will come with the next update, scheduled for Tuesday June 12th.

Brand new Infantry Rifle weapon coming soon to Fortnite – Dexerto
Brand new Infantry Rifle weapon coming soon to Fortnite An unexpected announcement has been made that a brand new weapon called ‘Infantry Rifle’ is coming soon to Fortnite Battle Royale. The weapon was revealed in the in-game ‘Message of the Day’ announcement screen and it contains the following description: “Infantry Rifle – Classic design meets new combat style.” The weapon very much resembles the Hunting Rifle in that it features the classic wooden outer texture that can be found on many traditional and old-school rifles. The blue background shown in the announcement image strongly suggests that there will be a Rare version of this new weapon, although it’s unclear how many other variants there will be. As for its release date, it’s very likely that this new weapon will be added to the game as part of the v7.40 update, which is scheduled to go live on February 12. While it does share a similar design with the Hunting Rifle, it’s unlikely to be a Sniper Rifle, especially since the two weapons would essentially be identical in their function. By the look of things, the only plausible theory is that the weapon will be Fortnite’s version of the M1 Garand, a bulky and powerful semi-automatic rifle used during World War II. In fact, the gun may be designed to pack a more powerful punch than any other Assault Rifle in the game, meaning there’s a chance it could use Heavy Ammo rather than Medium. Of course this is all speculation for now, and a lot more will be clear once the Infantry Rifle makes its debut in Fortnite. Keep monitoring our Twitter @Dexerto, as well as the Dexerto Fortnite page, for more information about what’s coming in the v7.40 update.

Brand new Sniper Rifle may soon be coming to Fortnite, according to leaks – Dexerto
Brand new Sniper Rifle may soon be coming to Fortnite, according to leaks New information has been discovered and leaked that points to a brand new weapon that may be added soon to Fortnite Battle Royale. The new weapon appears to be a suppressed version of the Sniper Rifle, which would be the first of its kind in Fortnite. It was discovered by data miner @lucas7yoshi_ in the new game files that were added during the v7.10 update. The two files he came across had the name ‘WID_Sniper_Suppressed_Scope_Athena_SR_Ore_t03,’ with the ‘Athena’ being the code-name that Epic are known to use when referencing the Battle Royale mode of Fortnite. In terms of its design, the new Suppressed Sniper Rifle seems to be modeled after the ‘Frostbite’ sniper that currently exists in the Save the World mode, although that weapon does not have a suppressor attached. Below you can see what the Sniper Rifle looks like in the rendered images found by the data miner in the v7.10 game files. “”wid_sniper_suppressed_scope_athena_vr_ore_t03″” “”Suppressed Sniper Rifle”” The top file name contains “”Athena”” and that file references this icon, and the 3d model@HappyPower @TheCampingRush @bodil40 @FortniteBR @FortniteINTEL @bnwkr @FortTory @ShiinaBR pic.twitter.com/cZTDk5xtAE — Lucas7yoshi_ // Fortnite News & Leaks (@lucas7yoshi_) January 4, 2019 Lucas7yoshi_ has also found the audio files for the weapon, giving players and fans a sample of what the Suppressed Sniper Rifle would sound like in Battle Royale. As expected, the sound that the weapon makes when fired is a lot quieter than a regular Sniper Rifle, especially the Heavy variety, which makes a huge difference since players can’t track the location of the shooter as easily. However, with that suppression is likely to also come a drop in effectiveness for the weapon in terms of the the amount of damage it can deal per shot at different distances. Suppressed Bolt-Action Sniper Sounds:@HappyPower @FortTory @ShiinaBR @FortniteBR @bnwkr @FortniteINTEL @TheCampingRush @bodil40 pic.twitter.com/5sfMCDDsBQ — Lucas7yoshi_ // Fortnite News & Leaks (@lucas7yoshi_) January 4, 2019 As for when this new Suppressed Sniper Rifle will make its debut in Battle Royale remains to be seen, and all of this information should be treated as speculation until Epic Games formally confirm and announce the weapon. If added, it would become the fourth weapon in the category, joining the Heavy, Bolt-Action, and Hunting Rifle.

Brand New Fortnite Victory Royale Screen and Slow-Mo Animation Updated for Season 5 – Dexerto
Brand New Fortnite Victory Royale Screen and Slow-Mo Animation Updated for Season 5 If you haven’t managed to get your first win during Season 5 of Fortnite Battle Royale, you may not even be aware that Epic has completely redone the famous ‘Victory Royale’ screen and animation. Getting a victory royale, whether its your first or your 100th, is the sweetest feeling in all of Fortnite, so making sure it feels appropriately rewarding and ‘epic’ is absolutely vital. The old victory royale screen had remained unchanged since the game’s launch, and no one really had any major complaints about it – but that didn’t stop the developers from always looking for improvements. The signature golden ‘#1’ stays as well as the text ‘victory royale’, so in terms of the actual screen image itself it isn’t that big a change. It’s the new slow motion animation added that makes all the difference. Instead of the game instantly stopping as soon as the final elimination comes in, there is now an awesome slow-motion effect, really giving the winning moment some extra flair. It certainly makes winning a game feel and look even better, and should be particularly special during the upcoming competitive tournaments which will be watched by millions. OpTic Gaming’s Jack “CouRage” Dunlop managed to snag a win with his first game of Season 5, and was not expecting the dramatic new victory animation. FIRST GAME OF SEASON 5 = VICTORY!!! BRAND NEW VICTORY ROYALE SCREEN! It goes slo-mo!!! #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/egknA1yT1U — OpTic CouRage (@CouRageJD) July 12, 2018 It’s another reminder of Epic Games incredible attention to detail, that even with all the big changes, including new map zones, a vehicle and lots of new skins, they are still looking to make small improvements. It should also contribute to the overall longevity of the game, as keeping the game feeling fresh can come down to just the small things if players are playing for months and months on end – as many Fortnite fans have been. You can find out more about all the changes in Fortnite Season 5 right here.

New Fortnitemares 2019 Zombie skins leaked for Fortnite Chapter 2 Reputable leakers ‘Lucas7yoshi‘ and ‘Makks‘ have revealed brand new Fortnite Chapter 2 skins, which will be released as part of the upcoming Fortnitemares event. As is customary in games nowadays, developers are constantly looking for ways to introduce new content, particularly based on seasonal events that occur in the real world.

While a number of Halloween themed skins have already been released into Epic’s battle royale, a pair of reputable leakers have revealed a look at the entire set. Earlier seasons of Fortnite have utilized seasonal aesthetics. Lucas7yoshi is well known in the Fortnite community for their often accurate leaks, including skins and gameplay mechanics that will be coming soon. On October 26, Lucas leaked a number of upcoming Halloween skins, which will be implemented into the game as the ‘Dead Ball’ set. A combination of the infamous ‘soccer skins’ and existing zombie skins, the ‘Dead Ball’ set is a creative incarnation of an undead football team that has made the Fortnite Chapter 2 island their hunting ground. also now i have stuff filling up the white space because twitter doesn’t believe in the alpha channel it seems pic.twitter.com/RrtRexDSoG — Lucas7yoshi – FNBR Leaks/News (@Lucas7yoshi) October 27, 2019 These leaks were compounded by ‘MakksBR’ – another Fortnite leaker who specializes in items on their way to the in-game shop.

A Brand New Weapon is Coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale – Dexerto
A Brand New Weapon is Coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale A new type of the Burst Assault Rifle appears to be coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale, becoming the first new weapon added during the current Season 4 of the popular video game. An announcement screen in the pregame menu shows the new Burst Assault Rifle with a blue background and is noted to be coming soon. Part of the reason Fortnite has become one of the most popular video games in recent memory is that developer Epic Games have shown dedication to paying attention to detail. Epic have consistently added new items, adjusted mechanics, and worked to improve the game to keep the experience fresh and fun. In the announcement screen, the new item is captioned with this description: Burst through the competition with a new Epic and Legendary rarity assault rifle. While a Burst Assault Rifle already exists in Fortnite: Battle Royale, the differences in design and rarity indicate that this is a complete new weapon. The current Burst AR comes only in Common, Uncommon, and Rare rarities, making this new weapon the first of its kind to come in Epic and Legendary varieties. While there is no officially listed release date for the new Burst AR, it appears that it will be added to the game as part of the v4.2 update that is scheduled to launch on May 15th at 1 AM PDT. Fortnite hinted at the new weapon and release date prior to the official in-game announcement when they said ‘Burst onto the battlefield, tomorrow” in their initial tweet about the v4.2 update.

Brand New Compact SMG Coming to Fortnite Battle Royale – Dexerto
Brand New Compact SMG Coming to Fortnite Battle Royale A brand new ‘compact SMG’ has been revealed in game and is coming soon to Fortnite Battle Royale, according to a new daily message. The compact SMG bears a striking resemblance to real life weapon, the P90 sub-machine gun, which is known for having a incredibly fast fire rate and huge magazine size. There is no official date for when it will be releasing, but typically when these new messages appear in game, it is set to drop with the next major content update. The description of the weapon doesn’t tell us much at this point: ‘Epic and Legendary rarity SMG that excels at close quarters combat’ By the sound of it, it won’t be best suited for gunning down opponents at a distance, but possibly will act to counter shotguns up close and personal. Epic stated recently their intentions to rebalance some of the weapon play in Fortnite, and mentioned specifically that they want to lessen the reliance on shotguns for close quarters. If this new SMG really is a monster up close, then it may not be the end of the world when you drop into the map and fail to find a shotgun early on, as this may be an ample substitute. The content update should be expected sometime in the next couple of weeks, with new skins and character gear dropping, the new SMG will be the big attraction. It is the second SMG added recently, with the new tactical SMG replacing the old one, and a P90-esque weapon has been rumored to be on the way for some time, with fans suggesting it frequently. We will keep you up to date with all the latest news on the new compact SMG as more is revealed.

All Bounty Board locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 – Dexerto
All Bounty Board locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Epic GamesLooking for Bounty Board locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4? We’ve got a map with all of them marked on it to help you find them. Gold Bars are an essential in-game currency in Fortnite, as saving them up will allow you to purchase powerful Exotic weapons and upgrade the rarity of your existing weapons to give you the edge in battle. One of the best ways to earn Gold Bars is to accept a Bounty from a Bounty Board. Doing this will mark an opponent’s estimated location on the map, and it’s up to you to find and eliminate them for a reward. You’ll also need to accept a Bounty from a Bounty Board to complete one of the weekly challenges in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, so we’ve got a list of all of their locations to help you earn that XP. Contents Where to find Bounty Boards in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Bounty Boards are located all over the Fortnite map, but you’ll have the best luck finding one by visiting any POI or major landmark and searching around, often near the entrance to the location. Some of the best places you can go to find Bounty Boards are the remaining Seven Outposts around the edges of the map, as these don’t get much footfall and you might have an easier time finding your target. You can see every Bounty Board location marked on the map below: How to accept a Bounty from a Bounty Board in Fortnite Once you’ve found a Bounty Board in Fortnite, accepting a Bounty is as simple as approaching it and interacting with it. Double confirm that you want to accept the Bounty, and your challenge will begin.

Be aware that your target will know that you’ve got a Bounty on them, and as you get closer to them they’ll be warned that you’re nearby. They won’t know your location, though, so a stealthy approach is still best. That’s everything you need to know about Bounty Board locations!

Boston Celtics’ Gordon Hayward Claims to be the Best Fortnite Player in Professional Sports – Dexerto
Boston Celtics’ Gordon Hayward Claims to be the Best Fortnite Player in Professional Sports Gordon Hayward of the Boston Celtics has made a bold claim regarding his Fortnite: Battle Royale skills in comparison to other professional athletes. Since his arrival to the NBA in 2010, Gordon Hayward has been transparent with his love for video games while off the court, including titles such as Starcraft II, League of Legends, Overwatch, and a variety of others. The 2017 NBA All-Star even has an endorsement deal with HyperX, a gaming-headset company, along with a well-documented PC setup which allows him to broadcast his gameplay to the world. After a devastating injury in the first game of the 2017-2018 NBA season saw him fracture his tibia and need to sit-out for the remainder of the year, Hayward had more time to spend playing video games throughout his rehabilitation process, which led him to be swept up in the Fortnite: Battle Royale phenomenon. In an article released on his website, the Boston Celtics Small forward discussed his love for Fortnite, along with how watching Twitch streams of major personalities such as Ninja, DrLupo, and Tfue allows him to get better over time. “I also watch a lot of streams in my free time, and everybody is streaming Fortnite right now. To me, that is the best part about Twitch. You can watch the best players play every day, and pick up the same strategies that they have. Personally, I think watching streamers play is the best way to get better, other than practicing yourself. So I watch Ninja, Tfue, DrLupo. It’s easy to watch what they do, and try to emulate it.” However, Hayward believes that he has been able to separate himself from other players in the NBA and professional sports in general, and guarantees that he would ‘come out on top’ against any professional athlete in head-to-head Fortnite competition. “But it would be actually really fun to have an all-NBA Fortnite match or something. I’ve been playing for a few months now, so I’m pretty confident I could come out on top. In fact, I’d almost guarantee it, and I’d be happy to take on anyone from any other sport, too.” The full article titled ‘The Fortnite King’ can be found on Gordon Hayward’s official website.

Boston Red Sox Pitcher David Price Potentially Set to Quit Fortnite, Video Games Following Carpel Tunnel Diagnosis – Dexerto
Boston Red Sox Pitcher David Price Potentially Set to Quit Fortnite, Video Games Following Carpel Tunnel Diagnosis Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price claims he may need to take a step back from video games and Fortnite: Battle Royale after developing Carpel Tunnel. In recent years, few games have been able to reach a fraction of the popularity that has been generated by the wildly popular Fortnite: Battle Royale over the course of 2018. With such a massive amount of name recognition and praise, Fortnite shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, especially with Epic Games introducing a collection of new content on a regular basis. More: Thanos Accidentally Rocket Rides During Intense Fortnite Battle and Uses the Opportunity to Dance in Hilarious Clip – Various celebrities and other notable figures have been found playing the title, with Fortnite effectively breaking into mainstream culture unlike any video game before it. Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price has gotten swept up into the phenomenon that is Fortnite: Battle Royale, however, claims that he may need to take a step back from video games in general when speaking to ESPN after he needed to miss a scheduled start against the New York Yankees due to a Carpel Tunnel Diagnosis. “I’ve always played [Fortnite] with my teammates, during the offseason, at the field, at the hotel […] That’s kind of my generation. That’s what we do. If I need to shut down video games and pick up a new hobby, then so be it. But I do not think that’s the cause.” More: Fortnite: Battle Royale Reaches Major League Baseball With the Milwaukee Brewers Playing on the Miller Park Jumbotron – Although he may play a lot of Fortnite recently, Price mentioned that he has been an avid gamer for years after receiving his first PlayStation over 20 years ago. “If that was the cause of the problem, it started back in 1997 when I got my first PlayStation when I was 12 years old […] This is just something that happened over time. This didn’t stem from any one thing […] I’m born in 1985, so that’s the video games generation. Being a Red Sox is the least amount of video games I’ve ever played being in Major League Baseball.” Price is scheduled to return on Saturday, May 12th with a start against the Toronto Blue Jays, however, it is unknown if he will remain in the lineup as of writing.

BlocBoy JV reckons he deserves more credit for Fortnite’s Hype dance – Dexerto
BlocBoy JV reckons he deserves more credit for Fortnite’s Hype dance Epic Games, .last.fmYou might know BlocBoy JB from his 2017 song dubbed ‘Shoot,’ which birthed the incredibly popular dance of the same title. The dance has since been used in a variety of media, one of which is Epic Games’ popular battle royale game, Fortnite. In the game, players can use a variety of emotes, which are character-specific actions such as dances. One of these emotes has been titled ‘Hype,’ and takes its inspiration from BlocBoy’s ‘Shoot’ dance. BlocBoy took notice of this and went to twitter to express his concerns over the matter. “EveryTime Somebody Does My Dance Dey Give Credit To @FortniteGame But Dey Ain’t Create Nothing But Da Game So Basically Dey Takin Money And Credit For My Shit Dats Crazy” “Dey Love Our Culture But Hate Our Color” “Fortnite should put the actual rap songs behind the dances that make so much money as Emotes. Black creatives created and popularized these dances but never monetized them. Imagine the money people are spending on these Emotes being shared with the artists that made them.” 600https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/1017806749028573184 Other emotes taken from popular dances include “Fresh,” inspired by Carlton’s iconic moves from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, “Dance Moves,” which uses Turk’s dance from the TV series Scrubs, and “Floss,” popularized by the “BackPack Kid.”

Boogie Bomber Fortnite concept looks like a CoD scorestreak – Dexerto
Boogie Bomber Fortnite concept looks like a CoD scorestreak An interesting new item concept video posted on the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit is reminiscent of a Call of Duty scorestreak. The video was posted on /r/FortniteBR by a user named The-Final-Hoss, would be a legendary item in the game. The item is called the Boogie Bomber Airstrike, and The-Final-Hoss states it could be used to “drop some major funk on the battlefield”. The Boogie Bomber Airstrike would be called in much like a scorestreak would be in Call of Duty, dropping a massive Boogie Bomb on an area designated by the player using it. The creator admits that the airstrike is more for fun than practicality, but feels like it could be a comedic inclusion to the game. The bomb would cause everyone in the vicinity of it’s explosion to burst into spontaneous dance, much like the Boogie Bomb item that already exists in Fortnite. The airstrike, however, would affect every player within a 100 meter radius, a much larger area than the normal Boogie Bomb. The creator of the concept states that the effects of the Boogie Bomb Airstrike would last for 10 seconds, and suggests that it could be made exclusive to the 50v50 Gamemode, causing for some massive, and hilarious, enforced flash mobs. Of course, the Boogie Bomb Airstrike is just a concept and hasn’t been officially announced as something that could arrive on Fortnite Battle Royale. However, with Season 6 set to begin on Thursday, September 27, who knows what we could see added to the game.

Fortnite: Everything you need to know about Blitz as the popular LTM returns – Dexerto
Fortnite: Everything you need to know about Blitz as the popular LTM returns The highly anticipated release of the v6.22 update for Fortnite introduced a number of new additions to the game, but the return of one of the most popular Limited Time Modes ever is perhaps even more exciting. While the Heavy Assault Rifle (which is quite clearly an AK-47) and the new ‘Team Terror’ LTM are more than enough to whet the appetite of even the most seasoned Fortnite player, the return of Blitz is likely to overshadow them for many! Returning in the form of a Limited Time Event as part of the November 6 patch, Blitz is the most fast-paced and frantic version of Fortnite that you’ll ever play due to the fact that the match begins with the storm already closing in. There’s also more loot, more resources and much more action! “Blitz is a faster-paced version of Battle Royale,” explain the developers at Epic Games. “The match begins with the storm moving towards the island, and the delay between each circle is shorter than normal, creating matches that are 15 minutes long or less. The map also has extra loot and resources. Profile Stats count in this mode, so fight hard for the Victory Royale!” We’re not entirely sure how long Blitz will be available for, so we’d advise you to make the most of it while it’s here. Full details about the mode, including the changes in drop rates, resources and more, can be found below: The storm is already moving in at the beginning of the match, choose your landing spot carefully! – Wait time between storms is significantly shorter than usual; maximum match length is 15 minutes. – Increased chances of treasure chests spawning from 50-70% to 80-90%. – Increased chances of ammo boxes spawning from 65-80% to 85-95%. – Reduced empty floor loot spawn chance from 21.5% to 3.55% – Resource harvesting amounts increased by 50%. – Increased materials found on the ground from 30 to 60 per instance. – Increased number, spawn rate & the descent speed of Supply Drops. – Increased number of llamas spawned by 4x. – Removed shopping carts. –

Black Panther’s Prowl monument added in Fortnite September 1 map changes – Dexerto
Black Panther’s Prowl monument added in Fortnite September 1 map changes Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2, Season 4 is rumbling on, and a brand new location has been added to the map, with Panther’s Prowl, a monument in honor of Black Panther appearing in the south of the island. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll be well aware that Season 4 is based around superheroes, with Marvel’s popular characters invading the game as they prepare for battle against the evil villain Galactus. The Season 4 Battle Pass features characters like Thor, Tony Stark, Storm, and even Wolverine. As Season 4 has progressed, new points of interest have sprouted up across the island, seemingly built by the characters as their home base on the island. Doctor Doom has taken over Pleasant Park, Antman has created Ant Manor, and now Black Panther has been added to the mix, taking ownership of a section of land near Misty Meadows. New Black Panther POI location in Fortnite If you’re looking for the Panther’s Prowl monument, the good news is that it’s going to be hard to miss, as it seems like a giant island has just plopped out of the sky and settled west of Misty Meadows, perched on top of a hill to give you a view over the entire town. It’s easy to know this location is in honor of Black Panther, with a massive statue of the animal sitting proudly on top, in a pose reminiscent of the massive panther statue that looks down over Wakanda, the fictional home of the Black Panther. Even better, players can actually walk up the tail of the creature and stand on top of its head, giving you an incredible view of the surrounding area. There’s also some gear to be found, with floor loot scattered across the area, and a chest sitting inside the roaring mouth of the big cat. First look at the Panther’s Prowl monument Panther’s monument is unlikely to be the last superhero-themed location we see this season, with The Collector also rumored to get his own spot somewhere on the map in the near future. The addition of the monument comes at a time when many are mourning the loss of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Black Panther, following the sad passing of actor Chadwick Boseman on August 28. The character became a cultural icon following the movie’s release in 2018 and played major roles in both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

Blink and You’ll Miss It! Fortnite Battle Royale’s Jetpack and Shotgun “Close Encounters” Mode Has Already Been Disabled – Dexerto
Blink and You’ll Miss It! Fortnite Battle Royale’s Jetpack and Shotgun “Close Encounters” Mode Has Already Been Disabled Fortnite Battle Royale’s all-new “Close Encounters” Limited Time Mode finally went live on May 25th and the Shotgun + Jetpack combination had everyone excited… until it was disabled again less than an hour later. One of the many ways that Epic Games is able to keep Fortnite Battle Royale fresh and exciting for its ever growing fan base is through Limited Time Modes. Limited Time Modes, or LTMs, are additional modes which custom rules and settings which differ from the standard Battle Royale game type. Generally speaking a Limited Time Mode will be introduced on a weekly basis, along with the weekly update, to replace its predecessor and will remain live for a total of seven days. This was not the case following the release of the May 22nd V4.2 Content Update as the patch notes described two Limited Time Modes in the form of Solid Gold V2 and the all-new “Close Encounters”. Solid Gold V2 was mode that was initially enabled but the highly anticipated Close Encounters, which features Shotgun only gameplay mixed with the new Jetpacks, finally went on May 25th, much to everyone’s excitement. Shotguns. Jetpacks. The Close Encounters LTM is here! Remember to check those fuel gauges. ⛽️ — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 25, 2018 …. For about 40 minutes. In the time it took to see the news about Close Encounters going, the official Fortnite Twitter account put out another announcement which was met with a great deal less enthusiasm. The developers have been forced to disable the LTM due an undisclosed issue and have re-enabled Solid Gold V2 for the time being. Due to an issue with Close Encounters, we’ve had to disable this LTM while we investigate. In the meantime, we’ve enabled Solid Gold. — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 25, 2018 We’re not sure what the problem is but we hope it is fixed soon so that we can finally start playing Close Encounters and find out if it is as fun as it sounds. We will keep you updated as more news is made available.

Black Panther & Captain Marvel Fortnite skins teased by Epic – Dexerto
Black Panther & Captain Marvel Fortnite skins teased by Epic Epic Games/Marvel[jwplayer uZppK6qI]Donald Mustard, the Worldwide Creative Director at Epic Games, has seemingly teased a handful of other Marvel skins that could be coming to Fortnite. With the start of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 4, Epic Games linked up with Marvel to bring some of the comic book giants biggest heroes and villains to the battle royale. Some of them, like Iron Man and Doctor Doom have skins as well as points of interest in-game, while others just have skins and superhero abilities. Given that Marvel has such a huge number of characters that they could use, they aren’t just limited to the Avengers or Fantastic Four series’ – and it looks like more skins could be on the horizon. Donald Mustard, who regularly teases Fortnite changes on his Twitter account, quote tweeted an image of some original Fortnite skins as well as some of the current Marvel cosmetics adorning the front cover of an upcoming comic. However, it didn’t take long for eagle-eyed fans to notice that there are some characters in the shot who haven’t yet been used as a skin in Fortnite – and that he might have dropped a not so subtle hint. These characters include Captain Marvel and Ghost Rider – who are both on the right side of the image – as well as Black Panther who, like Iron Man and Doctor Doom, has a POI and abilities in-game. Donald Mustard has just shared this picture on his Twitter account & I’m 99.9% sure that all heroes in this picture who aren’t yet in the game will come to the game throughout the season. Some of these skins would be: Black Panther, Ghost Rider & Captain Marvel! pic.twitter.com/73BonVhyYL — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) September 25, 2020 While there’s no telling if these skins will actually be included in Fortnite, Epic have dropped these sort of teases before. Blade was included in a comic-themed image earlier in the season before being available in the Item Shop. Ghost Rider was also included in that particular image, as well as Venom – who has abilities in-game through the Marvel limited-time mode. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Bizzle joins FaZe Clan following Ghost Gaming exit – Dexerto
Bizzle joins FaZe Clan following Ghost Gaming exit FaZe Clan YouTubeFaZe Clan have signed Tim ‘Bizzle’ Miller as the newest member of their Fortnite team, marking yet another major addition to the organization in 2020. As it stands, FaZe is loaded to the brim with exceptional talent in the battle royale, including the likes of Nate Hill, Kyle ‘Mongraal’ Jackson, Soleil ‘Ewok’ Wheeler, and Trevor ‘Funk’ Siegler, just to name a few. But the new signee is an instant crowning jewel in FaZe’s Fortnite empire, now that he’s joined the most talked about org in the world. Welcome to the squad legend. FaZe tf up when you talk to me baby ❤️ — FaZe Banks (@Banks) April 6, 2020 Bizzle “mutually parted ways” with his previous org Ghost Gaming on April 4, along with then-teammate and similar Fortnite All-Star ‘Aydan’ Conrad. After FaZe announced the latest signing, Bizzle said that his new org contacted him “five minutes after” leaving Ghost. Whether that’s an exaggeration or not is unclear, but it wouldn’t be surprising for FaZe – or any org for that matter – to move in on what was one of the hottest free agents in the Fortnite landscape. Bizzle was on a tear at the tail-end of 2019, and that’s not including his top-30 finish at the inaugural World Cup Solo Finals. Though he didn’t place where he wanted to at the premier event, his performances lit up the matches throughout the World Cup. FaZe’s montage for Bizzle highlighted the pro’s accolades including having the most top 5 finishes as well as the most match wins on LAN in Fortnite’s history. His success has amounted to a whopping $593,125 total earnings from competing, according to Esports Earnings – a number he’ll now be looking to dwarf with his new team. The Fortnite pro is no stranger to the allure and expectations that normally follow a FaZe member. He’s an incredibly accomplished competitor and an entertaining streamer; a natural fit to the world-renown org. Bizzle joins Swagg as the latest members to sign with FaZe in recent weeks, as the content kings invest in more talent across their brand. FaZe is only the second gaming org that Bizzle has been a part of and he’ll undoubtedly look to make an impact in the 2020 Fortnite competitive season.

Bizzle slams “joke” Fortnite as he splits from Clix & Commandment – Dexerto
Bizzle slams “joke” Fortnite as he splits from Clix & Commandment GhostGaming/Epic GamesTimothy ‘Bizzle’ Miller, professional Fortnite player for FaZe Clan, has hit out at the building battle royale as a “joke” and a “shambles”, as he confirms the split of his long-time professional trio. Trios has grown to be the main competitive mode for Fortnite, meaning the world’s best pro players have been doing their best to find players whom they click with. Bizzle, alongside Clix and Commandment, formed one of the strongest trios in the world, at least on paper. In reality, Season 3 struggles have plagued the trio, ultimately leading to the announcement of them going in separate directions. In Bizzle’s statement, he fired some shots at Fortnite itself, stating that the game is currently a “shambles”. Rumors had swirled around Bizzle, Clix, and Commandment, with many considering the trio to be playing at a level less than the sum of their parts. On July 10, the FaZe Clan star confirmed that the trio would be going their separate ways, explaining that the current state of Fortnite was a major factor in their decision. “I think the reasoning for this is simply because the game is in complete shambles right now,” Bizzle said. “Before Season 3 we were dominating every single game and then when the new season came, the Shockwave Launcher disabled us from playing the way we were used to and crazy end game lag lead to a lot of thrown games.” He also stated that Commandment signaled his intent to leave, which gave Bizzle the opportunity to team up with Dubs and Megga. “Every competitive player knows how big of a joke this game is right now,” he continued, “but when every player wants to be the best and you aren’t winning games change is bound to happen.” Despite Bizzle seeming reluctant to leave Clix, it seems there are no hard feelings between the two pros. Clix responded to the tweet in a highly complementary fashion, describing Bizzle as “the best player” he has ever played with. You are by far the best player I’ve ever played with. Loved playing with you and all your smart plays. Learned a lot and hopefully we’ll team up in some future events. ❤️ — Clix (@ClixHimself) July 10, 2020 As Clix says, there is the potential to reunite with Bizzle in the future but, for now, you will be able to find the FaZe Clan star playing alongside Dubs and Megga. Clix, as of the publication of this article, has not commented publicly on whom he will be playing alongside.

How to open a Vault while holding a chicken in Fortnite Chapter 3 – Dexerto
How to open a Vault while holding a chicken in Fortnite Chapter 3 Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 3: Season 1 sees Vaults return to the Island, and some creative players have figured out that you can actually use a chicken to open them. Fortnite Chapter 3 is well underway, and with the likes of Marvel’s Spider Man and iconic actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, joining the Epic Games title’s ever-growing roster, it’s already been an absolute banger. The map itself has also undergone a huge overhaul with Vaults making a return. These high-security rooms are hidden under the mysterious Seven Outposts, and they contain loads of Supply Chests with rare weapons inside. You’ll need to pay a visit to one of these Vaults to complete the new Avian Ambush Quests, but instead of enlisting another player to open it, this time you’ll have to be holding a chicken. Here’s how to do just that. How to open a Vault while holding a chicken in Fortnite To open a Vault with a chicken in Fortnite Chapter 3, you first need to find a chicken out in the wild (we’ve got a location guide that should help) then travel to any Vault location hidden around the island. Vaults can be found at Seven Outposts at the corners of the map. Once you arrive there, you’ll need to search each individual building to see which one has a downstairs area for you to descend into. Found it? Good. Now, you’ll need to stand in front of the Vault door with your chicken held high above your head, waiting for it to scan you both and eventually allow you to enter. Normally, you’d need to have at least two players stand in front of a Vault for it to open, but the chicken works as a replacement. Squads require more players, so it might be easier to complete this quest solo. Now you know how to open a Vault using a chicken, check out some of our other Fortnite guides: All leaked skins and cosmetics | How to get Chapter 3 Super Styles | All Exotic weapon locations | Split-screen guide | What’s in Fortnite Crew this month? | How to get free V-Bucks | How to get free skins | How to complete all weekly challenges | Best weapons ranked | Best Deathrun map codes

Bizarre Fortnite performance issues could change your skin mid-game – Dexerto
Bizarre Fortnite performance issues could change your skin mid-game Epic GamesFortnite has been impacted by a number of significant bugs since the latest major update saw the jump to a new physics engine, though the console experience might be the most shocking of all. From weak spots not working as intended to players phasing through solid walls, the transition to a new physics engine has certainly come with its own unique difficulties. However, console players appear to have it worse than perhaps any other platform as laggy gameplay experiences have seen players suddenly changing skin in the middle of a match among other quirky flaws. Having dropped into a match on February 12, Reddit user ‘Dolotone’ showcased the buggy nature of Fortnite gameplay on their PS4 following a recent stability patch. With textures not loading in properly, they could barely so much as walk through the map without awkwardly floating and skipping through chunks of the map. Buildings and nearby terrain all appeared blurry as the world failed to render properly, leaving them to float through an odd mix of architecture in Misty Meadows. Amusingly enough, they also suddenly changed skin in the middle of the match. Without reason they swapped from one cosmetic to another, altering everything about their appearance except for the pickaxe. Eventually forced to simply back out of the match in hopes of finding a fresh lobby that actually works, they outlined how such skin-changing shenanigans aren’t a rare occurrence. “Skins I PAYED for are unusable…imagine that,” they expressed. “Every game I queue up whether it’s solo, duo, TR, they all do this. It’s really aggravating.” While they couldn’t offer immediate feedback, Epic Games Community Coordinator ‘EpicBoaty’ chimed in and asked the player to formally submit a report of the issue “using the in-game Feedback button.” Fortunately, other PlayStation 4 users were reporting that their gameplay experience hasn’t been quite as buggy since the latest stability update, yet Epic is clearly on the ball and attempting to address the bizarre Fortnite issues. With the major Season 2 update right around the corner, perhaps console players will be treated to a sweeping set of improvements come February 20.

Bizarre Fortnite chicken combo surprises enemies with death from above – Dexerto
Bizarre Fortnite chicken combo surprises enemies with death from above Epic GamesA clever Fortnite combo using the new chickens is making waves, giving players a way to safely sneak up on opponents from the skies. Epic Games have really been shaking up the meta in Chapter 3 with new items and weapons that can turn combat on its head. The battle royale has never been livelier and players are getting really creative with the game’s boundaries. That’s where the Avian Ambush Week star comes in. The studio added chickens for players to complete certain quests, but resourceful people can actually use them to get over their opponents. These chickens can be found around the Fortnite island and could be another tool in your arsenal if you know how to use them. Reddit user ‘shreyaspandit’ found a way to “catch [people] totally unaware” by using a chicken with some help of a web. Webs let people get a huge bounce off them and, when coupled with the glide of the chicken, it lets people cover a ton of ground. Now the trick here lies in the fact that the webs negate fall damage. With this in mind, players can web bounce and then glide to find an opponent. Once they are near the enemy, simply let go of the chicken and fall directly on an opponent. In their clip, shrey immediately dive bombs on an unsuspecting foe and instantly deleted them off the map in no time at all. Even if you do the chicken glide-web combo and don’t get a kill, the trick is still really great to cover large portions of the map in a pinch.

Billie Eilish confirms Fortnite Festival Season 3 collab with exclusive skin – Dexerto
Billie Eilish confirms Fortnite Festival Season 3 collab with exclusive skin Epic GamesBillie Eilish has confirmed her collaboration with Fortnite Festival’s upcoming Season 3, which will include an exclusive skin and more. Fortnite Festival Season 2 has come to an end and rumors about the next season have been out for quite some time. Finally, the rumor about a Billie Eilish collab has been confirmed and the nine-time Grammy award-winning artist has now announced she’ll be headlining Fortnite Festival Season 3 as its featured artist. Eilish shared the news on her X page with an image of her cosmetic skin donning her signature green-dyed hair and all-neon green attire. She wrote, “Fortnite Festival Main Stage: 4.23.24,” while confirming the collab is set to arrive with update v29.30 on Tuesday, April 24. Several of her fans shared their excitement in the thread. One said, “Now this is a W Skin.” Another chimed in, “Oh they ate DOWN. Please tell me they gave you a hair down style as well.” A third wrote, “OMG can’t wait to attend our favorite artist’s concert!” A fourth user added, “This makes me happier than ever.” Each Fortnite Festival season brings a popular musical artist to the game as an in-game skin, alongside their iconic songs as Jam Tracks within the Festival Pass. Even though they don’t actually perform like an in-game event, players can don their outfits and rock the Main Stage or Jam Stage with their songs. The Fortnite Festival pass included The Weeknd and Lady Gaga in previous seasons and both times fans were excited.

Bizarre Fortnite Chapter 2 mechanic gives players new way to use rockets – Dexerto
Bizarre Fortnite Chapter 2 mechanic gives players new way to use rockets Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2 players are thinking outside of the box with a newly discovered mechanic by YouTuber ‘SypherPK’ that bounces rockets for potentially game-changing effects. By using a Remote Explosive for the base of the trick, a player is able to bounce or change the trajectory for the Rocket Launcher’s missile to make it climb skyward, for example, after shooting it toward the ground. The Rocket Launcher has always been a popular weapon to take in Fortnite to quickly clear builds or 1x1s and takes opponents by surprise. But the new trick gives it the potential for so much more. After a strange interaction during Sypher’s games with Twitch star NICKMERCS, they noticed a missile had reflected off of a C4. “For some reason Rocket Launchers bounce off of C4,” SypherPK said. “Position yourself really well in the center, line up the C4 accordingly, [and] you can achieve an infinite loop.” Testing out the interaction, the YouTuber saw that the Remote Explosives have a near-consistent effect on rockets that players are quickly adopting. Showing off the trick on Reddit, user ‘Slushyguy’ showed how a strategically placed Remote Explosive brick could be the foundation for a sly rocket depending on how it’s used. By angling the shot, the trajectory can be manipulated to veer up, which opens up the maneuver’s application – especially if you’re trying to get out of a tricky situation. Since rockets can make quick work out of basic builds, a team pinned in lower stories of a build fight could take a big gamble by using the missle bounce. If there’s a situation where an opponent is pinning down your team from above and you can’t get a safe shot, throwing down a C4 and spamming some missiles skyward could give you the perfect distraction to set up a counterattack or escape. The mechanic could get a little tricky, though, and potentially be deadly if you make the mistake of aiming it too close to yourself in a high-pressure situation. It’ll be interesting to see how creative Fortnite players utilize the rocket bounce in-game since it could be a useful trick to surprise unsuspecting foes.

Best weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Ultimate gun tier list – Dexerto
Best weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Ultimate gun tier list Epic Games/DexertoFortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 brings some Marvel-themed weapons and items to the game that rework the gameplay. If you’re struggling to work out which are the best to use, then here’s a complete weapons tier list to help you. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 has yet again altered the gameplay on the Battle Royale island. With four new POIs, a Marvel-themed season, and a Battle Pass stacked with heroes and villains, this is the season that a lot of players have been waiting for. Furthermore, it brings back superpowers and adds some new weapons that shift the power scale in the game in favor of those who hold them and utilize them to claim the coveted Victory Royale. With plenty of new features and meta added in this update, several players are perplexed about which guns are the greatest and which are the worst to take out enemies and Marvel Villains on the island. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 weapons tier list Our tiers explained S: The best weapons in the game – A: Very good weapons offering an alternative to other options – B: There might be situations where these weapons can perform well – C: Best to avoid unless you find yourself drawn to them – Best weapons in Chapter 5 Season 4 These are the best weapons currently available to use in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Dual Micro SMGs – Striker Burst Rifle – Gatekeeper Shotgun – War Machine’s Arsenal – Either of these weapons is great but we’d definitely recommend picking up Dual Micro SMGs and a Striker Burst Rifle for your loadout if you find it hard to come across the Gatekeeper Shotgun and War Machine’s Arsenal. The Striker Burst’s lesser recoil and longer range enable it as a perfect weapon to eliminate mid-to-long-range enemies and offer you pinpoint accuracy on your targets. At the same time, keeping the Dual Micro SMGs handy offers you that fast-paced action in close-range encounters that help you ace the pray-and-spray meta this season. Absolute Doom Tier weapon in Fortnite Apart from the traditional loot pool, you have a 5% chance of getting the Armor of Doom mythic which transforms you into Doctor Doom himself. However, to get that you need to capture the Cauldron at the Isle of Doom which spawns rarely across Battle Royale matches. Once you have that, you’re granted 500 Health and 500 Shield, which basically makes you invincible throughout the rest of the match. Plus you’re also twice the size of loopers on the island and are granted four abilities which lets you unleash Absolute Doom on your enemies. Fortnite S Tier Weapons The new season brings back the pray-and-spray meta in full swing with the Dual Micro SMGs which are the fastest-firing weapon in the game. These SMGs are your perfect companion for close-range encounters and eliminating an enemy in a single magazine. You can also grab a mythic variant of this weapon from the Gwenpool NPC, however, the SMGs aren’t moddable so it’s best you use them up close and personal with an opponent. The Striker Burst Rifle makes a triumphant return and is the go-to AR this season for your loadout. With a mid-to-long-range firing capability and a tighter crosshair with low recoil, this is a gun suited for those who like to take out their opponents from a distance. Find a mythic variant by defeating Emma Frost boss in the game and you’ll have the most powerful AR in the game. Gatekeeper Shotgun returns as well and stays on the S-tier since it’s the best shotgun in the game as of yet. Players have found ideal mods to make this a lethal weapon in their loadout which helps them deal heavy damage to enemies. War Machine’s Arsenal is a new item added with the Absolute Doom season and it’s one of the best utility items in the game. It’s one part of the complete War Machine Arsenal and has two firing modes. One mode uses light bullets and fires rapid shots at mid to close-range enemies with accuracy. Another is mini rockets which you can fire at enemies in close range to deal some explosive damage and drain out their health. This weapon can be best used when you want to wipe out an area or while you’re battling bosses on the island. Fortnite A Tier Weapons The Combat Assault Rifle returns this season and is fully automatic and has first-shot accuracy. The gun is best used in medium to close range and can deal some heavy hits on the enemy, thanks to its tighter weapon spread on the crosshair and low recoil. A new shotgun appears this season which is the Sovereign Shotgun which is a hard-hitting weapon with a low bullet count. This weapon has a unique firing mechanism as it fires sideways and has a considerable amount of recoil. But thanks to weapon mods, even a couple of hits at an enemy can make this gun quite devastating. You can find the Mythic Sovereign Shotgun by defeating the Mysterio Boss on the island. The mythic variant is much quicker to reload and has a higher damage count, so you can use it to take out enemies in one shot easily. The Ranger Pistol stays in A-tier this season since more hard-hitting weapons have arrived and our trusty Pistol isn’t as overpowered as it used to be. Regardless, modding it with a Red Dot, Drum Mag, and Muzzle Brake can offer players a decent experience that produces a fair damage output on enemies. Captain America’s Shield returns from Chapter 1 and offers a similar experience as it used to. You can throw it at an enemy to deal 50 damage as well as block shots while holding it. However with nerfs introduced in the latest patch, you’ll need to be more accurate while throwing it to hit an enemy, or else you’ll easily be vulnerable to them. Shuri’s Black Panther Claws are another melee weapon that allows you to slice enemies while on the move and function similarly to Wolverine’s Claws from Chapter 2 Season 4. However, you may charge them with Kinetic Energy by sprinting and then pouncing at opponents, or you can use them to move across the map. They are best effective when you’re battling a boss or have a bunch of enemies nearby, so you can just dive in and slash them with consecutive hits and get out of the situation. War Machine’s Auto Turret is another weapon part of the War Machine package that is basically an automated laser dealing damage to nearby enemies. This weapon is extremely useful if you find yourself stranded between multiple enemies and you want to brush them off your back. Furthermore, it even deals damage to your enemies when you’re knocked, so best to have that handy in your inventory to troll your opponents. Fortnite B Tier Weapons Monarch Pistol is a slow-firing pistol introduced this season and it’s quite okay but doesn’t perform well in any encounters. This is more like a Hand Cannon but with lesser damage and slower reload time. Plus even with the weapon mods, it proves quite ineffective as the Ranger Pistol to take out enemies. Still, if you’ve got a knack for it, you can get your hands on the Mythic variant by eliminating Doombot on the island. The Striker AR makes a comeback this season and stays exactly the same with its fully automatic quick-firing capabilities. However, it underperforms as compared to the Combat AR due to high recoil and ineffective range. But with weapon mods, it becomes a lethal mid-range assault rifle you’d love to use. Coming to submachine guns, Hyper SMG is back and offers a classic SMG experience with its pray and spray stat since you can use it to deal close-range damage to players. You can also mod the weapon with a Red Dot and muzzle brake to eliminate recoil and hit your shots more accurately. Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets from Chapter 2 Season 4 return as well and have two attacks you can use − Arcane Blast and Mystical Bomb. While the latter deals decent AoE damage and blasts any enemies out of your way, the Arcane Blast attacks are ineffective as compared to other weapons of the same type. You’re better off becoming Doom’s Chosen rather than using these Gauntlets if you want to get a dub. Fortnite C Tier Weapons Returning this season is the Hammer Pump Shotgun which is an underwhelming weapon in its category as it’s slower than a standard Fortnite Pump Shotgun and has a first-person recoil animation. Players have been questioning its existence in the current season as it feels quite out of place compared to the other shotguns. As always, this ranking could end up shifting around as Epic Games rolls out Fortnite patch updates with new weapons and old classics throughout the season. But for now, this is how the state of play looks. We’ll be sure to update this ranking when more weapons get vaulted or unvaulted as the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 progresses, so check back soon to make sure you’re using the very best weapons on offer. Best weapons to use in Fortnite Reload Fortnite brings back OG Battle Royale gameplay in a fast-paced mode called Reload, where a lobby of 40 players battle it out to claim the Victory Royale. However, players can respawn (or reboot) throughout the match, once eliminated, if their teammate is alive. The mode also brings back OG weapons from past Fortnite seasons which have created a separate loot pool for the same. Here are all the best weapons you can use for your loadout in Fortnite Reload: Pump Shotgun – Infantry Rifle – Assault Rifle (Epic or Legendary Rarity) – Midas’ Drum Gun – Rocket Launcher – Mythic Goldfish – The Pump Shotgun brings the classic power of shotguns back into the game known for box fights. You can one-shot an enemy or drain their shield bars while cranking 90s. Another weapon to help you deal damage with accuracy is the Infantry Rifle which has a tight crosshair and minimal recoil so you can eliminate enemies with precision. The classic Assault Rifle makes a comeback in Reload too which gives you that standard hitscan experience with ARs to deal effective damage to enemies from mid-range. Similarly, the Midas Drum Gun brings the pray-and-spray meta to Reload which ensures you maintain pressure on your enemy. The Rocket Launcher and Mythic Goldfish are two projectile-based weapons that assure an easy kill and take down enemy structures with ease. Find one and you’ll dominate the lobby. While there are several more weapons to be added in Reload mode in the coming weeks, we’ll keep the list updated with the best weapons you can choose as you reboot your way to Victory Royale. As you check out the best weapons to use in Fortnite Reload or Chapter 5 Season 4, also check out the weekly challenges, where to find all mythic weapons, and how to get the new Doctor Doom skin.

Best weapon mods for Shotguns in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 – Dexerto
Best weapon mods for Shotguns in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Epic Games/DexertoOn the hunt for potent weapon mods for your reliable Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4? Discover the top attachments to enhance your gameplay right here. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 has finally arrived, and it brings players a Marvel-themed season once again with a stacked Battle Pass featuring iconic heroes and villains. Furthermore, new weapons including some superpowers are also added to the game. You can find these weapons in chests or loot them from buildings and landmarks spread throughout the map. The returning Weapon Mods feature, however, allows you to customize your weapon by adding attachments using a Mod Bench. Previously, players could only use their reliable shotguns without attachments. However, that has changed as weapon mods enable them to be more powerful than ever before. So to make the most of your Shotguns in Chapter 5 Season 4, here are the most effective weapon mods in Fortnite. Best weapon mods and attachments to use for Shotguns in Fortnite In the ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, there are three Shotguns in the game – namely, the Hammer Pump Shotgun, the Gatekeeper Shotgun, and the Sovereign Shotgun. While the Hammer Pump is a more heavy-hitting weapon that mimics the classic Pump Shotguns that existed in Fortnite, Gatekeeper continues to be the one perfect for close-range scenarios. Furthermore, the new Sovereign Shotgun is a slow-firing shotgun but deals some heavy damage to enemies and is capable of eliminating them in just a couple of shots. Here are the weapon mods and attachments recommended for you to use to get the best out of all the guns. Recommended weapon mod for Sovereign Shotgun Here are the recommended attachments for the Sovereign Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Red Eye Sight with 1.15x scoped view – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Laser (Increase Hipfire Accuracy) – Using the mod combination above, the Sovereign Shotgun becomes significantly faster than its default state. With the Red Eye scope you’re able to hit your shots more accurately, and thanks to the Muzzle Brake you experience minimal recoil. Furthermore, the Speed Mag ensures you’re ready to fire back the weapon instantly once it goes into reload, and using the Laser, you can hit shots accurately even if you’re not using ADS during a combat scenario. Recommended weapon mod for Hammer Pump Shotgun Here are the recommended attachments for the Hammer Pump Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Red Eye Sight with 1.15x scoped view – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Laser (Increase Hipfire Accuracy) – Using the above-recommended combination, the Hammer Pump Shotgun becomes a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to the Muzzle Brake and Speed Mag, the weapon experiences minimal recoil and reloads instantly which makes it a reliable choice even if you are not using ADS during a close combat build fight. Recommended weapon mod for Gatekeeper Shotgun Here are the recommended attachments for the Gatekeeper Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: No Optic – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces time to ADS) – Using the above-recommended combination, the Gatekeeper Shotgun becomes overpowered in close-quarter combat. Unlike the other shotguns, the Gatekeeper needs no scope due to its short range and limited bullet count. But with the Speed Mag and Angled Foregrip, you can get the jump on your opponents and fire faster. If you’re looking for the best weapons to arm you as you survive Doomsday, check out the newly added Dual Micro SMGs, War Machine’s Arsenal, and returning mythics that can help you claim the Victory Royale.

Having said that, here are the most effective mods you can use for SMGs and Pistols in Fortnite. Best weapon mods and attachments to use for SMGs and Pistols in Fortnite The ongoing Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 features two pistols and two SMGs. These are Hyper SMG, Dual Micro SMGs, Ranger Pistol, and Monarch Pistol. However, you should note that the Dual Micro SMGs do not support mods. Having said that, all the other three weapons can be customized with a Mod Bench, and here’s a full rundown for all of them: Recommended weapon mod for Hyper SMG Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Hyper SMG in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Holo-13 (Provides 1.3x magnification) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduces recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces time to ADS) – These mods allow the Hyper SMG to become even more powerful in close-quarter combats. On top of lower ADS time, your recoil will be a lot less when using the spray option. Additionally, it provides you with a decent vision magnification while also boosting your reload speeds for fast-paced action. Recommended weapon mod for Ranger Pistol Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Ranger Pistol in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Red Eye Sight (Provides 1.15x magnification) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Drum Mag (Increases Magazine size but decreases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Laser (Increases Hipfire Accuracy) – The Ranger Pistol makes for an excellent secondary weapon in Fortnite owing to the firepower it offers. Adding these mods makes the gun even more powerful with reduced recoil and increased hipfire accuracy. On top of that, the Drum Mag allows you to hold even more bullets for every round, giving you ample support in sweaty situations where you need more ammo to keep the action going. The Red Eye Sight provides some vision magnification, however, that is only good for close-range encounters. Recommended weapon mod for Monarch Pistol Here are the recommended attachments you should use for the Monarch Pistol in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Holo-13 (Provides 1.3x magnification) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Increases Reload Speed) – Underbarrel: Laser (Increases Hipfire Accuracy) – The Monarch Pistol features a much slower firing rate than the Ranger Pistol, however, it makes up for it with the per-bullet damage it deals. Additionally, each round of this weapon has 7 bullets, making the Reload Speed a very important factor for the firearm. Increased hipfire accuracy and reduced recoil mean you will be able to land your shots much more easily with these mods. The Holo-13 optic provides decent vision magnification, ensuring that you can have a fighting chance in close to mid-range combats. If you’re looking for the best weapons to arm you as you survive Doomsday, check out the newly added Dual Micro SMGs, War Machine’s Arsenal, and returning mythics that can help you claim the Victory Royale.

Best Weapon Mods for Assault Rifles in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 – Dexerto
Best Weapon Mods for Assault Rifles in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Epic Games/DexertoLooking for the best Weapon Mods for your Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4? We’ve got the best attachments available for you to use in the game right here. With the release of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, players are already using everything they can on the updated map to claim Victory Royales. Epic’s Marvel-themed season has unleashed all-new powers and weapons to shake things up across the island which brings three new POIs. However, you can pack a punch with several guns in this season’s weapons pool even further by attaching Weapon Mods to give them some powerful upgrades and gain a competitive edge over your enemies. Here are all the best Weapon Mods you must use for each Assault Rifle in Fortnite to create the ultimate AR builds. Best Assault Rifle Weapon Mods in Fortnite In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, there are three Assault Rifles, which are the Striker AR, Striker Burst Assault Rifle, and Combat Assault Rifle. These can all be upgraded with up to four Weapon Mods to create the best builds. The Striker AR is an automatic, medium-ranged weapon that fires insanely fast and deals high damage. It excels at medium and close-ranged combat but suffers at longer ranges due to the high recoil. Meanwhile, the Combat Assault Rifle is a fairly similar choice but has different strengths. It is fully automatic with a slightly reduced fire rate and lower damage count compared to the Striker AR. Instead, it has a tight spread and low recoil when fired, which makes it excel at medium to long-range combat with accurate shots. However, the Striker Burst Assault Rifle is completely different from the two other AR choices in Fortnite this season. It fires burst shots and the fire rate is significantly slower. Although it has the least recoil out of all rifles and can fire at targets with precision in medium to long range. Despite all the AR’s strengths and weaknesses, they can all be modded with the best Weapon Mods to counter-act their weaknesses and buff their strengths, as shown below. Best Striker AR Weapon Mods Here are the best attachments for the Warforged Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Quicker reload speed) – Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS recoil and spread) – Using this combination, the Striker AR becomes the ultimate mid-range assault rifle. With the Holo-13 Optic, you can easily target nearby opponents and shoot with minimum recoil thanks to your Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel and Muzzle Brake barrel. Meanwhile, the Speed Mag mod allows you to quickly reload during those intense gunfights. Best Striker Burst Assault Rifle Weapon Mods Here are the best attachments for the Striker Burst Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Speed Mag (Quicker reload speed) – Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS recoil and spread) – Using this Striker Burst Assault Rifle best build, it becomes the perfect mid-to-long-range weapon with these Weapon Mods. Firstly, you can easily target both medium and long-range opponents with the Holo-13 Optic and the Speed Mag that makes up for the AR’s slow reload time. The Muzzle Brake Barrel and Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel round it out to make your shots even tidier for some incredibly accurate firing. Best Combat Assault Rifle Weapon Mods Here are the best attachments for the Combat AR in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View) – Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil) – Magazine: Drum Mag (Increase ammo capacity) – Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces ADS time) – Using the Holo-13 Optic will make the Combat AR easier all around for aiming at short to mid-range encounters to get the pray and spray meta going. The Drum Mag ensures you’ve got enough bullets in the magazine when you need it the most during intense gunfights. The Muzzle Brake Barrel reduces your recoil, while the Angled Foregrip Underbarrel lets you aim down those sights faster to fire quick high-damage dealing shots. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is also filled with superpower mythics that you can use to defeat Doom’s Henchmen and the three Marvel villains who roam the island as bosses.

Best leaked Fortnite weapons that still haven’t been released – Dexerto
Best leaked Fortnite weapons that still haven’t been released Epic GamesGnome Guns? Troll Launchers? Yes, those really are Fortnite weapons. We’re taking a look back at the best leaked and unreleased weapons that never made it into the game. Epic Games’ popular battle royale has introduced countless weapons since it first launched in 2017, and everyone has their favorite, from the Pump Shotgun to the Heavy Assault Rifle and even a Star Wars Lightsaber. But there are also plenty of intriguing weapons that never see the light of day. We only know about them because of leakers, and while some of them show up on The Island eventually, others are sadly sent to the metaphorical scrap heap. We’ve scoured the internet for some of the best unreleased weapons that never ended up in Fortnite. Some of them are strong, others are downright ridiculous. Hopefully one day Epic decides to finally add them all to the game. Mini-Gun Grenade Launcher This one doesn’t appear to have an official name, but it’s been referred to as both ‘Tinstack’ and ‘Mini-Gun Grenade Launcher’ by leakers, the latter because it’s essentially a combination of the Mini-Gun and the Grenade Launcher. Those are two of the most powerful weapons we’ve seen in Fortnite so far, so a combination of the two could be absolutely devastating in battle – which might be why it hasn’t been added to the game yet. A new Heavy Weapon is in the works. It may be a cross between a Grenade Launcher and a Minigun. A prototype mesh is included, which appears to be a minigun without its barrel. Really interesting weapon in the works, stay tuned. Gun stats + Mesh in pics below. pic.twitter.com/600kpmfUIh — Mang0e (@Mang0e_) September 28, 2020 Gnome Gun Gnomes have played a big part in Fortnite over the last few years, regularly popping up in challenges that require you to dig them up, bury them, destroy them, or even save them by disabling explosive traps that have been set to lure them in. But some creative Fortnite devs came up with a completely different use for them, as this leaked Gnome Gun shows off. What does it do? It shoots Gnomes. Yes, that’s literally it. Not much use, then, but still looks like a lot of fun. https://twitter.com/ximton/status/1342811689260085249 Troll Launcher Around the same time that details of the Gnome Gun emerged, another wacky Fortnite weapon leaked online: the Troll Launcher. Honestly, who thinks of these things? They deserve a raise. Unlike the Gnome Gun, this one looks like it actually packs a bit of a punch, as the tiny creatures explode on impact. Essentially, it’s just a Rocket Launcher, but with added Trolls – and who wouldn’t want that? https://twitter.com/ximton/status/1342804383218724864 Big Money Assault Rifle Not much is known about the Big Money Assault Rifle – we haven’t even seen what it looks like – but it’s believed to have some connection to the new Gold Bars currency that was introduced in Fortnite Season 5. One theory is that it could increase the number of Gold Bars dropped by opponents when they’re eliminated by the gun, which sounds like it could be a very good way to stock up on the in-game currency. Flamethrower Back in 2018, leakers found evidence that a Flamethrower weapon was going to be added into Fortnite. Unfortunately, this never happened, but we’re still keeping our fingers crossed it arrives one day. We can see why this weapon might not fit with the overall aesthetic and gameplay of Fortnite, though, and it would likely have had a very short range which may not have been very useful in actual gameplay. A flamethrower is most likely coming to the Battle-Royale mode! (Credits to: @TopRankEd8 & @StormLeaks) pic.twitter.com/Z143QVq3IX — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) September 10, 2018 Run Gun SMG Unlike many of the other unreleased Fortnite weapons on this list, we’d expect the Run Gun SMG to actually make an appearance in the game at some point soon, as it seems to belong to Season 5’s Exotic class of weapons. While using the weapon, the player will run faster than normal, a bit like when they eat a Chilli. Its base is the Rapid Fire SMG, which is capable of a whopping 255 damage per second, so it will no doubt be a popular weapon if the devs do decide to add it. Here’s the Run Gun exotic SMG from the previous tweet, recoded 2 clips with @ximton for y’all.. It makes you walk/run faster and its still unfinished pic.twitter.com/inINji0g8x — HYPEX (@HYPEX) December 29, 2020 E-11 Blaster Okay, so this weapon is technically already in the game. You just can’t use it. Why? Well, it’s the weapon that The Mandalorian Boss uses at close quarters, and while players can steal his Amban Sniper Rifle, this one has been kept exclusively for him. It shoots red energy bolts and functions very similarly to the First Order Blaster Rifle that appeared in Chapter 2 Season 1 as part of the Star Wars crossover, meaning there’s no reason we can’t get the E-11 Blaster as a usable weapon in the game at some point. If this list has got you hungry for more epic Fortnite weaponry, we’ve also rounded up the 7 best vaulted Fortnite weapons that need to make a return in a future season.

Best ways to use the new Chiller trap in Fortnite Battle Royale – Dexerto
Best ways to use the new Chiller trap in Fortnite Battle Royale The most significant addition to Fortnite in the latest update, v6.01, is the new ‘Chiller’ trap, replacing the recently vaulted bouncer. The bouncer pad was a very popular feature, so it was a surprise to many when Epic Games removed them, but we should have known they had something else up their sleeve. The Chiller trap is more seasonal, just as we enter winter and the new Halloween decorations going up – there is a suspicion that the map itself will get a snowy makeover come Christmas time. Fans immediately tested out the Chiller trap in Playground mode, and in regular matches, showing off how useful the sliding feet granted by large ice cubes can be for moving fast around the map. Strangely, the trap can work both in your own benefit as well as too frustrate opponents, especially if you catch them off guard. Whether it is better than the bouncer pad or not in the long time we will have to wait and see, but it is a much needed fresh addition for season 6. Like the bouncer pads, you can pair two together and create a ‘loop’, as shown by Reddit user u/kbachani. And using the Chiller trap in tandem with the Shockwave grenade can turn your character into a Usain Bolt on the map, escaping storms or outrunning enemies at ridiculous speed. Possibly the most ingenius use for the Chiller trap though, was discovered shortly after release, which is to place it jut next to one of the purple runes, giving a massive boost in speed. You can see the full patch notes for update v6.01 here, with details of the Chiller trap, other additions and bug fixes.

The 5 best places to land in Fortnite Chapter 2 – Dexerto
The 5 best places to land in Fortnite Chapter 2 Epic GamesIn partnership with Chipotle. Find out more about the Chipotle Challenger Series here. Fortnite Chapter 2’s new map features loads of new locations to explore, but where should you aim for when exiting the Party Bus? We’ve selected five of the best places to land – head to these areas to grab loot and boost your chances of a Victory Royale. [jwplayer msmrw58e-SUloKWJP] The map might have changed a great deal but, as has always been the case, some areas are quickly becoming more popular than others due to the amount of items and chests that can be found in them. The risk vs reward aspect of of going to a high traffic area is that you could be stocked up on weapons and items in no time at all. However, if you don’t find something to fight with fast, you could be eliminated before your game even begins. It’s up to you whether the risk is worth it or whether you’d rather play the long game and pick a quieter area of the map and risk having a weaker loadout until later in the game. Whatever your style, here are five landing spots that we believe you should seriously consider: 5. Pleasant Park The well known suburban landscape of Pleasant Park is back, and it’s just as viable a landing spot as it was in Chapter 1. The Park features numerous homes and buildings that are made of all different types of materials, giving players lots of opportunities to obtain plenty of early materials necessary to make a late-game push. Loot chests are scattered all over the park, in the basements and attics of houses, underneath staircases, and all over the neighborhood. For Squads, there’s also a respawn van in the center of the park in case other groups decide to drop there as well. 4. Frenzy Farm The homage to Chapter 1’s Fatal Fields, Frenzy Farm is just as productive and useful to dropping players as its spiritual predecessor. Frenzy Farm provides a plethora of wood and metal materials from all the farm structures and machinery, as well as plenty of loot chests and hiding spots. Numerous hay piles act as literal hiding spots that you can dive into, Assassin’s Creed-style, but the hay fields and tomato trellises provide excellent cover as well. But keep your eyes peeled for the instant death spots that some streamers have noticed. The farm also has a respawn van to bring back your deceased teammates, and is just southwest of the previously mentioned Steamy Stacks, making it a good ambush point for teams or players gliding away from the power plant. The farm’s central location makes it a great spot to build your arsenal early, and then feed off of players making their way in from the map’s edges. 3. Sweaty Sands The Sweaty Sands boardwalk and beach area in the northwest corner of the map boasts loads of loot chests and materials. Wood, stone and metal are in high quantities throughout the area, as are loot chests, and that’s just the above ground ones! Yes, underneath the boardwalk and scattered across the beaches are extra buried loot chests – you have to use your eyes to spot them though, because they don’t give off the typical loot chest sound. This was first discovered by reddit user FortyNineMilkshakes. For that extra loot, along with the nearby upgrade station and all the materials available, a trip to the beach should be a priority for players hopping off the Party Bus. 2. Steamy Stacks Despite its location in the very northeast corner of the Chapter 2 map, the new power plant known as Steamy Stacks is a tremendous starting point for players. Land here and you’ll have access to lots of metal materials, plenty of loot chests, a weapon upgrade station, and most importantly, access to two different modes of easy-to-use transportation. Make your way into the base of either of the two cooling towers, and there’s plenty of pink goo that gives off lots of steam. Simply jump over the goo and let the steam carry you right out of the tower, allowing you to fly or glide away from the towers. There’s also power lines that players can use as ziplines, taking you south. 1. Slurpy Swamp and Slurp Factory The Slurpy Swamp and the Slurp Factory that sits within it are excellent spots to get some early game loot. The best part? You don’t even need to drink any shield potions you pick up to get full shields. The swamp and the factory have plenty of Slurp Juice just lying around, with convenient and beneficial ways of accessing it. In and around the factory are Slurp Kegs that you can break open, with each one giving you 10 shields and some metal materials. By standing in the glowing pools in the swamp, you can increase shields and health without having to use items. With all that and the number of loot chests in the immediate area, it makes the destroyed factory and the polluted swamp a highly valuable drop zone. What’s great about all five of these locations is that they are all on the waterfront as well. All five locations we mentioned are right up against one of the many rivers that feed into the center of the map, so if you’re a fan of the new boating or fishing mechanics, these spots will serve your interests as well. However, if there are any spots that you’ve had good luck with that we didn’t mention, then keep using them! Whatever gets you the win.

Best old school Fortnite skins to play with on OG map in Chapter 4 – Dexerto
Best old school Fortnite skins to play with on OG map in Chapter 4 Epic GamesFortnite is bringing back its original map for players to dive right into, with classic content once again being made fresh. In light of this, here are some of the best Fortnite skins to get your hands on and play with while revisiting the OG map. Fans of the original Fortnite will be pleased to know that the game has taken a trip down memory lane, the original Map being added back into the game and with it, all the nostalgia gamers could ask for. As a result, the classic cosmetics from the original game are also sure to be in the spotlight as players revisit the early years. For those interested, here are some of the best skins to get your hands on when playing through the original map. Renegade Raider skin When it comes to discussing original Fortnite skins, many will immediately think of the Renegade Raider. The skin was first released during the season 1 Battle Pass for Fortnite. Players falling in love with the warrior-looking military woman who dons very distinctive face paint. As one of the first and most used skins in the game, be prepared to see Renegade Raider much more now that the original map is back in Fortnite once more. The Royale Bomber skin The Royale Bomber skin is about as OG as it gets. In large part due to the way in which it was able to be obtained. For players who do have access to this skin. they would have had to have purchased the limited edition PlayStation 4 console package that included Fortnite and the skin with it. Therefore, it is quite a rare skin, one that only those who purchased this limited edition PS4 have. Regardless of its rarity, it is a great design, with a futuristic-looking military style and a bomber jacket that looks like something out of a Top Gun film. While there are many more OG Fortnite skins to choose from, here are just a few of our favorites from the classic game and the ones we predict many players dusting off from their pile to equip with the OG map back. Black Knight skin Of course, some original skins were much harder to unlock and gain than others. Therefore, those who do have them in their arsenal are likely to whip them back out when playing through Fortnite’s OG map once again. In light of this, expect many old-school players to once again equip the Black Knight skin What makes this skin so special to fans of the OG Fortnite? For starts, the only way it was able to be unlocked was by reaching Tier 70 in the Battle Pass for season 2 of the game. As well as this, the skin is an epic-looking Knight get-up, with black armor and red trims cementing an air of skill and commitment to each player who equips it. Skull Trooper skin When it comes to iconic exclusive cosmetics, the Skull Trooper skin is one of the OG’s in Fortnite. Making its debut during the game’s Halloween event back in 2017, this skin has been a staple of the game. With a skeleton face and black military outfit that many Fortnite players recognize instantly. While the popularity of the skin did increase when it was brought back to the item shop years later, this original 2017 is still special thanks to its unique purple tones. Something that only those who purchased it back in 2017 will have. Ghoul Trooper skin Similar to the Skull Trooper skin, the Ghoul Trooper is another Halloween special that was introduced to the game back in 2017. As the name suggests, the skin includes a female-presenting character who takes on the appearance of a ghoul-like person, with pale green skin and a destroyed and tattered outfit to boot. This skin did also come back to the item shop but with pink coloring, meaning those who have the original color scheme can be instantly recognized as OG players of Fortnite.

Best places to complete Fortnite’s ‘Open a chest within 60 seconds’ challenge – Dexerto
Best places to complete Fortnite’s ‘Open a chest within 60 seconds’ challenge Fortnite‘s special Winterfest event continues to rumble on, and the special Christmas Eve challenges tasks players with opening a chest within 60 seconds of their feet hitting the ground after they leap out of the Battle Bus. Replacing the 14 Days of Fortnite event from last holiday season, fans of the popular battle royale title have been taking on the Winterfest Challenges, while also receiving a special gift every day of the festive period as Epic Games celebrates the end of the year. Some of the Winterfest challenges are easier than others, and while opening a chest within one minute of landing on the ground may sound simple, there are some handy tricks that will help you complete this task with ease, and help you avoid landing only to find there aren’t enough chests to go around. The biggest decision that players face when taking on this challenge is where to land, as that can be the make-or-break choice that sees you complete this challenge, or heading quickly back to the Battle Bus following an elimination. Choosing somewhere with lots of Chests is obviously the key to this, as the more of the wooden loot-filled crates that are sitting around, the better chance you have of finding one quickly and efficiently, and the less likely you are to be fighting with enemies who also want to get their hands on the treasure. With Chapter 2 introducing a new Fortnite map, the location with the most Chests is Sweaty Sands, and the fact that it’s a spread-out location should make it easier for players to avoid running into enemies before they open one. If you have a specific spot you prefer to land at though, here are the number of Chests at a number of different named locations. Once you decide where you’re going, the next step is making sure that nobody lands beside you, so you can quickly listen out for a Chest, make your way to it and open it up to recieve the Ice Fisher Back Bling. If you’ve missed any of the Fortnite Winterfest challenges, you can use our handy guide to get caught up, and earn all the sweet Christmas-themed rewards.

Best landing spots in Fortnite OG map: Tilted Towers, Kevin the Cube, more – Dexerto
Best landing spots in Fortnite OG map: Tilted Towers, Kevin the Cube, more Epic GamesFortnite has finally brought back its original Chapter 1 map in Season OG and here are some of the most iconic and well-known landing spots that players are likely to swarm when dropping into the classic BR map all over again. Fortnite is one of the most popular games of the generation. With fast-paced gameplay, an almost never-ending roster of skins, and more to keep players coming back time and time again, it’s kept its hype alive for years on end. And while the game may look very different from its initial form, players are now getting the chance to take a drop down memory lane. The Fortnite Season OG update has sent fans back to the classic Chapter 1, which includes its iconic map complete with old fan-favorite POIs, weapons, cosmetics, and more. However, it has been a long time since players have been able to dive into the original map. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best landing spots for Fortnite’s OG map. Titled Towers Titled Towers is one of the original battlegrounds of Fortnite and for good reason. Each house in the area is well-known and beloved. Between Big Ben and Main, players will find themselves thrust into the action when landing at Tilted Towers. And while it may be a risk to land in such an area, the cover from the houses makes for a fantastic vantage point, one that can set you up for success if you are able to arrive early and truly cement your claim on the area. Kevin the Cube at Loot Lake Epic Games dropped a release trailer for their Fortnite OG Season 6 update stating: “Hi, Kevin,” showcasing a wave of fresh nostalgic updates that included Kevin the Cube’s return. The fan-favorite purple cube known as Kevin, has been beloved by Fortnite fans since it was first added to the game in Chapter 1 Season 5. It has returned to the map in the exact location of Loot Lake where it was found all the way back in 2018 and is sure to be a hotspot. Simply just land at the Loot Lake POI near the center of the map and you can’t miss it, where it can be seen directly under the floating island hovering in the sky. It is expected to move to various locations around the map just as it did over five years ago as further season updates and hotfixes are released for Season OG. Shifty Shafts While some players prefer to be up high and above the action, Shifty Shafts places gamers in the underground. As well as this, however, the surrounding houses always made for fantastic loot spots, with great weapons and tools available to find and use throughout the round. For those who decide to land in Greasy Grove instead, Shifty Shafts is a great second location to venture to when looking for some action and wanting to take down other players ready for a standoff for the ages. Dusty Depot While Dusty Depot may not seem like much at first, this location became a great place to hide out and recover while the action was nearing its close. With great places to hide and mask yourself from incoming fire, the Depot remains a classic drop spot of the season 1 map, putting you in a favorable spot from the jump. Fatal Fields Who doesn’t love going to all-out battle in a beautiful and vibrant garden location? Fatal Fields, as the name suggests, was always a tricky place to find yourself in when playing through the OG map. This picturesque area, which is likely to be very nostalgic for players, always felt like a death trap. At any moment, a sniper could appear from a surrounding area and try to take you down. Even more frightening, a player could be looming around the corner with a close-quarters weapon. Use this as your drop spot if you’re seeking an early fight. Pleasant Park landing spot When Fortnite players think of iconic areas for the game, Pleasant Park is likely to be high on their list. The area has it all. From buildings to scenery to surrounding mountains and vantage points. With the return of the OG map, players are likely to once again dive headfirst into Pleasant Park, turning the beautiful and calm area into mayhem. And with some good loot in the buildings as well, a frenzy is sure to break out when players dive back down into Pleasant Park. And there you have it. Some of the most iconic landing locations for the original Fortnite map. We’ve also got plenty of tips and tricks available to help you out, so make sure to check out our guide content: How to level up fast in Fortnite | How to get V-Bucks in Fortnite | Rarest skins in Fortnite | What are the best Fortnite skins ever? | How many people play Fortnite? | How to win in Fortnite | How to refer a friend in Fortnite | All Fortnite crossovers & collabs | Best guns in Fortnite | Best Fortnite landing spots | Fortnite dances list | Where to find all Exotic & Mythic weapons in Fortnite | Are there any free V-Bucks codes in Fortnite? | How to play Fortnite split-screen | How to get free Fortnite skins

Best guns in Fortnite Season 5: Ultimate weapon tier list – Dexerto
Best guns in Fortnite Season 5: Ultimate weapon tier list Epic GamesEpic Games mix up the Fortnite Battle Royale meta almost every season and that was exactly the case in Chapter 2, Season 5. Now that the dust has settled on the v15.00 update, a tier list for its best weapons has naturally formed. Chests can be opened right across the battle royale game, not to mention the new NPC characters protecting areas of the map with dangerous guns of their own. If you hunt down the right people, you could walk away with some of the most devastating tools to take you right to the endgame. Knowing which are the high performing guns is handy as well, after all, you could be prioritizing the wrong one when looting and it could cost you. In Season 5, we saw the vaulting of several weapons and some even came back – so let’s take a look at how the meta looks since the patch went live. Fortnite Season 5 best weapons, ranked Our rankings have been selected from a mix of in-game experience and community feedback since Season 5 launched. The S Tier represents the best in class, and as the letter grades lower for the weapons it is to reflect how effective they are in Fortnite’s current state. This meta may change during the course of the season, however – as Epic Games rolls out weekly updates. S Tier Just like several seasons gone by, it’s been hard to see the likes of the SCAR, Bolt-Action, and Rocket Launcher anywhere but the top tier. They have been mainstays of this bracket for some time, though Exotic Weapons have broken the glass ceiling – with our list featuring Mando’s own weapon and more. SCAR – Bolt-Action – P90 – Rocket Launcher – Amban Sniper Rifle – Splode’s Boom Sniper Rifle – A Tier The Heavy Assault Rifle is a weapon that screams A-Tier in Season 5. While it might not be as good as others in its class, such as the SCAR, there’s no doubt that you will go far with a high rarity of this gun. Alongside that, the likes of The Dub Shotgun and others have made the cut. Assault Rifle – Heavy Assault Rifle – The Dub Shotgun – B Tier The Silenced Submachine Gun has been very much a B Tier gun for some time now, with its speedy fire rate but short mags. Alongside that falls the Tactical Assault Rifle, which just fails to deliver in the same way the Heavy or SCAR does – but still usable in your buildup to the latter stages of a match. Exotic Weapons once again feature here, as The Nighthawk Revolver takes a place in the standings. While all of these new weapon rarities are worth trying, these two aren’t quite as strong as the others. Tactical Shotgun – Dragon Shotgun – Silenced Submachine Gun – Shadow Tracker Pistol – The Nighthawk Revolver – Tactical Assault Rifle – C Tier Shotguns are proving to be a problem in Fortnite, frankly. In Chapter 1, a lot of talk within the community was about how strong the Pump Shotgun used to be – which was vaulted in patch v15.00. Now, with that out of the picture, there really isn’t room for a shotgun in the top tiers of the loot pool. Charge Shotgun – SMG – D Tier Some are just made to be at the bottom and that’s the case for these two. Unfortunately, they are made for the early looting phases of matches but taking these too far into a match would be a mistake. Storm Scout Sniper – Pistol – That rounds off our Fortnite Season 5 best weapons tier list, showing the likes of the SCAR and Rocket Launcher are still among the very best in the current meta. The placements will likely shift during the season as buffs and nerfs are announced, so keep an eye out for that – and tweet us any potential changes @FortniteINTEL. We’ll update this list should things change.

Best instruments in Fortnite Festival – Dexerto
Best instruments in Fortnite Festival Epic GamesFortnite Festival allows players to unleash their inner artist by playing along to popular hits. But what instruments are best to use? Fortnite Festival gives players a chance to listen to their favorite artists while jamming out with friends. All while putting their hand-eye coordination to the test with its increasingly difficult levels. The Guitar Hero-like mode was announced alongside two other modes during the Big Bang event. Coupled with Fortnite’s new LEGO survival and racing title, what made Fortnite Festival stand out was its The Weeknd collab. There are five different types of instruments that can be played in Fortnite Festival. Here are the two best instruments to choose regardless of the jam track. What instruments in Fortnite Festival are best? Vocals and Guitar are the best instruments to use no matter what the jam track is. They are almost the most important when it comes to getting a high band score. All songs will have a vocalist, meaning that choosing this role guarantees a decent amount of gameplay. Other instruments may only have short parts in the song, but the Vocals will always shine. If Vocals have already been taken by a friend or player, another great instrument to choose is the Guitar. Like the Vocals, the Guitar typically has a big part to play in most songs. The complexity of the sections may vary depending on the jam track. Some songs will have some Guitar throughout and others will have drawn-out riff sessions. While the Guitar and Vocals may be the best instruments to use, it’s always good to branch out and try all five different styles. Especially with different songs which will give the player multiple ways to play. That’s everything you need to know about what instrument to play in Fortnite Festival!

Best guns in Fortnite Chapter 2: Ultimate weapon tier list – Dexerto
Best guns in Fortnite Chapter 2: Ultimate weapon tier list In partnership with Chipotle. Find out more about the Chipotle Challenger Series here. Epic Games have completely redone the weapon pool in Fortnite with the release of Chapter 2, so you’ll need to know which ar the best guns to have in your loadout. Here’s our Fortnite Chapter 2 weapons tier list – ranked from best to worst. [jwplayer msmrw58e-SUloKWJP] With there now being only eight guns in the game, Epic have implemented what they call a “streamlined weapon arsenal”, as each weapon now has all five rarities, as opposed to the previous system which capped off how rare certain guns could get. That said, some weapons are still worth using over others, and we’ve ranked them from best to worst based on factors such as usability, damage, reliability, and more. This list can and will be changed when / if Epic add more weapons, vault some, and implement buffs and nerfs throughout the seasons in Chapter 2. S-Tier These are weapons that are of very critical importance, and should be picked up and kept in your inventory every match from start to finish. All five rarities of the weapons in this list are viable enough to use. Assault Rifle DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 30 – Uncommon: 31 – Rare: 33 – Epic: 35 – Legendary: 36 – The Assault Rifle has been around ever since Fortnite was first released, and it remains arguably the most viable and consistent weapon in the game. Its ability to be fired as both an automatic and semi-automatic makes it a good option for short, medium, and long range gunfights, and you always know what you’re getting with this gun. And in case you forgot, the Epic and Legendary versions are still the SCAR, which is one of the most sought-after weapons available. Tactical Shotgun DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 71 – Uncommon: 75 – Rare: 79 – Epic: 83 – Legendary: 87 – So far in Chapter 2, the Tac Shotgun seems to be the more popular choice rather than the Pump, as its higher fire rate does make it more usable in the current state of gunfights. The fact that you can shoot it faster makes it more forgiving to missed shots, which makes up for the less damage. That said, with shotguns in particular, you should always go with the one you feel more comfortable using, even if it goes against the rankings in this list. Submachine Gun DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 17 – Uncommon: 18 – Rare: 19 – Epic: 20 – Legendary: 21 – Much like the AR and shotgun weapon classes, SMGs are also an important part of the Fortnite meta, so you should always look to carry one in your inventory. In Chapter 2, there are essentially two SMGs available under one name – the regular SMG for the first three rarities and the Compact SMG for the last two. The weapon’s very high fire rate and decent enough damage makes it an absolute must-have, as it can be a definite gamechanger in close-quarter fights. A-Tier The guns in this list are still very good and important options to have in your inventory. They rank lower than S-Tier because they have qualities that make them slightly not as good as the higher-tier weapons. That said, you shouldn’t rush to drop them if you come across an S-Tier gun, because the higher rarities of these weapons are probably worth carrying over the lower rarities of the ones listed above. Pump Shotgun DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 70 – Uncommon: 80 – Rare: 90 – Epic: 100 – Legendary: 110 – For whatever reason, the Pump Shotgun has fallen behind the Tac in popularity so far in Chapter 2: Season 1. That said, it is still more than a good-enough option and you should definitely pick one up if you find yourself without a shotgun. It does have a very wide range of damage when comparing the five rarities, so this is one of those guns that’s worth upgrading if you find an upgrade bench on the map. While its lower rarities might not be as strong, if you come across an Epic or Legendary version, those may be good enough to even use over a Tac, despite the considerably lower fire rate. Burst Assault Rifle DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 27 – Uncommon: 29 – Rare: 30 – Epic: 32 – Legendary: 33 – The Burst Assault Rifle is an interesting weapon because its Epic and Legendary versions are of a brand new design never seen before in Fortnite. It’s definitely a very usable and good option, but the fact that it deals less damage and fires in bursts makes it a bit less reliable than the regular AR, due to how the bloom and hit registration RNG work. B-Tier These are reliable options to have, and will help you get the job done. That said, they are not of critical importance, so you shouldn’t hesitate dropping them for a valuable item. Rocket Launcher DAMAGE PROFILE (Reload Time) Common: 70 (4.7) – Uncommon: 85 (4.1) – Rare: 100 (3.6) – Epic: 115 (3.1) – Legendary: 130 (2.5) – One of the most noticeable changes when it comes to weapons in Chapter 2 is that the Rocket Launcher has become a lot more prevalent, mainly due to the fact that there are now lower rarities of it. As always, the Launcher is a very versatile weapon, as it can be used to both destroy a lot of builds at once and inflict serious damage to enemies. Read More: How to use the boat in Fortnite Chapter 2 – However, it’s not as critical as the higher-tiered weapons in this list, and considering that inventory spaces are limited to five, it’s not something that you should always look to pick up. This is especially true for the lower rarities, which just don’t do enough damage and take way too long to reload to be effective. C-Tier The weapons in this list are average, and should only be carried if there are no better alternatives. They will usually be limited in their usage, meaning that they can’t be used in more than one way. That said, they can still be viable if used correctly, especially the higher rarities, so don’t hesitate to use them as you would other comparable weapons until you can find a better option. Pistol DAMAGE PROFILE Common: 24 – Uncommon: 25 – Rare: 26 – Epic: 28 – Legendary: 29 – This Pistol has and likely always will be a middle-of-the-pack gun, as its not really one that you want to be carrying around in the endgame phase of matches. However, it can still pack a punch at close range, especially for those with a good trigger finger, and should be treated as an poorer alternative to the SMG until you find one. The cream of the crop for this class are the Epic and Legendary variants, which also have a design that’s new to Fortnite. Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle DAMAGE PROFILE (Reload Time) Common: 95 (3.3) – Uncommon: 100 (3.2) – Rare: 105 (3.0) – Epic: 110 (2.5) – Legendary: 116 (2.3) – Sniper Rifles have always had a place in Fortnite, but they are obviously very limited in their usage and are only viable when engaging in long distance gunfights. In the right hands, the Bolt-Action can be deadly, but it’s just not consistent and versatile enough to justify being ranked higher in this list, and the spot it takes in your inventory should be used for more valuable items. Only carry this weapon if you are very confident in your sniping ability, and even then you should really only go for the Epic and Legendary variants, as the other rarities don’t do enough damage and take too long to reload.

Best Fortnite Weapon Concept Ideas – AK-47, Railgun, Paintball Gun, Battle Rifle and More – Dexerto
Best Fortnite Weapon Concept Ideas – AK-47, Railgun, Paintball Gun, Battle Rifle and More Creative Fortnite fans have been busy devising weapon concepts which are not yet in the game, but could potentially be excellent additions. There are a lot of very passionate and imaginative Fortnite players, and due to Epic Games’ willingness to implement fans’ ideas in the past, more and more fan-made concepts have popped up on social media. While most of these concepts are for items like skins, pick-axes and consumables, there are also some excellent weapon concepts which we wouldn’t be surprised if Epic added at some point in the future.

What are the best Fortnite skins? Top 50 list in 2024 – Dexerto
What are the best Fortnite skins? Top 50 list in 2024 Epic Games/DexertoThere’s a huge amount of skins in Fortnite but some are more beloved than others, and these are our picks for the top 50 skins in the Battle Royale in 2024. Fortnite is well known for its massive array of skins, particularly its collabs and crossover cosmetics. While there’s no competitive advantage to skins, as they simply change your character’s appearance and, some are much more popular than others. With so many to look out for, we’ve gone through the history books to put together a complete list of 50 of the best skins that have appeared in the game since they were first released back in 2017. Mystique Key Details Last seen: December 1, 2020 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Tier 80) – Selectable styles: 5 (Default, Tactical, Silver Foil, Gold Foil, Holo Foil) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 4 – Mystique skin is part of the Chapter 2 Season 4 Battle Pass, which is based on Marvel superheroes and villains. This Epic Outfit, which could be obtained at level 80, is renowned for its unique ability to mimic the look of any opponent she defeats owing to Mystique’s shape-shifting abilities. Furthermore, Mystique has an emote that allows her to transform into any skin in the player’s locker during a battle, making her one of the most flexible skins in terms of in-game cosmetic capabilities. Travis Scott Key Details Last seen: April 27, 2020 – Cost: 1500 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 2 (Default, T-3500) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 2 – The Travis Scott skin was released as part of the Icon Series during Chapter 2 Season 2, to commemorate the famed rapper’s virtual musical concert, “Astronomical.” It portrays Travis Scott in his signature style, with variations such as the default and the ‘T-3500’ edition, inspired by his stage attire. The bundle also included extra items such as the Astro Jack outfit, making it a highly sought-after cosmetic owing to its scarcity and link to the live in-game concert experience before Epic forever vaulted it. Midas Key Details Last seen: June 16, 2020 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Tier 100) – Selectable styles: 4 (Default, Ghost, Shadow, Golden Agent) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 2 – Midas is one of Fortnite’s best-designed original characters, being simple yet highly desirable. You had to work hard to unlock the leader of the spies, as he was the Level 100 reward for Chapter 2 Season 2’s Battle Pass. The skin has since received several variations like Shadow Midas and Midas Rex, and has become so popular that rumors of more Midas-themed skins coming to the game are always doing the rounds. Peely Key Details Last seen: May 8, 2019 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Tier 47) – Selectable styles: 1 (Default) – Released in: Chapter 1 Season 8 – It’s a ridiculous skin, we can all agree on that. But whether you love it or hate it, Peely has become a mascot for Fortnite, regularly becoming the butt of jokes and often popping up as hidden easter eggs in various locations with each map update. You’ll likely be spotted from a mile away if you’re wearing Peely or one of the various goofy-looking spin-off skins like Agent Peely or P-1000, but we think that’s worth it to bring a bit of fun to The Island. Deadpool Key Details Last seen: June 16, 2020 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Challenges) – Selectable styles: 3 (Default, Mask Off, X-Force) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 2 – Are there any Marvel superheroes more beloved than Deadpool right now? Until the hit 2016 movie, he was resigned to being a favorite of comic book readers, but now that he’s found mainstream success the whole world has fallen for the wise-cracking ‘merc with a mouth’. When he was introduced as a challenge reward in Chapter 2 Season 2, players went crazy for it, and we can see why; as one of the few Marvel characters who would actually use an assault rifle or a rocket launcher in his own movies and comics, he’s the perfect crossover skin. Spider-Man Key Details Last seen: March 19, 2022 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Page 9) – Selectable styles: 6 (Default, Symbiote, Future Foundation, Photo Negative, Scarlet Blackout, Gilded Reality) – Released in: Chapter 3 Season 1 – After months of speculation, Marvel fans finally got the Fortnite skin of their dreams when Spider-Man debuted in Chapter 3 Season 1 Battle Pass alongside a Web-Shooter item that allowed players to swing around the Island. That’s not all, though, as a Spider-Man based on Tom Holland’s Peter Parker from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was also released in the Item Shop just weeks later, giving players multiple options to become the iconic superhero. Renegade Raider Key Details Last seen: December 13, 2017 – Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 2 (Default, Checkered) – Released in: Chapter 1 Season 1 – Okay, so the design might not be anything special, but what makes Renegade Raider a standout is the fact that it was only ever available as a Battle Pass reward in Chapter 1 Season 1, making it arguably the rarest skin ever in the game. Wearing this during a match makes it clear to other players that you’ve been making trips to The Looped Island since the very beginning, and that alone means it deserves a special place on this list. Spider-Gwen Key Details Last seen: December 3, 2022 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Page 10) – Selectable styles: 5 (Default, Gwen Stacy, Celestial, Spectral, Aurelian) – Released in: Chapter 3 Season 4 – Spider-Man was an incredibly popular skin in Fortnite, so it was only a matter of time before more skins from the comics joined the roster. This happened in Chapter 3 Season 4, when Spider-Gwen was finally introduced as the Level 100 Battle Pass skin. This version of Spider-Gwen (also known as Gwen Stacey or Spider-Woman) is based on the character from the animated movie Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Unlike some other crossover skins, the art style is recreated perfectly in Fortnite. Clark Kent (Superman) Key Details Last seen: September 12, 2021 – Cost: 950 V-Bucks (Battle Pass Challenges) – Selectable styles: 3 (Clark Kent, Superman, Shadow) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 7 – While Marvel superheroes tend to hog the spotlight in Fortnite, the excitement was ridiculously high for Superman’s arrival in Chapter 2 Season 7 – it was teased for weeks before finally being released as the season’s Secret Skin. The Man of Steel has a built-in emote that lets him transform from Clark Kent to Superman mid-game – a feature that not many skins have – as well as an epic Shadow style that only the most dedicated players managed to unlock. Naruto Uzumaki Key Details Last seen: November 15, 2022 – Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 2 (Default, Seventh Hokage) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 8 – One of the most-hyped Fortnite skins of all time was Naruto, the beloved ninja from Konohagakure. After months of rumors and teasing, the anime icon finally arrived with matching cosmetics and a throwable Kunai weapon. Even better, the whole of Team 7 – Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi – were available to purchase from the in-game shop. But there’s only room for one Naruto character on this list, so it has to be the main man himself. Harley Quinn Key Details Last seen: December 3, 2023 – Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 2 (Lil Monster XOXO, Always Fantabulous) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 1 – Alongside all of the popular Marvel superhero skins sits the iconic DC villain Harley Quinn, who’s gained a legion of fans from both her comic book origins as well as her recent live-action appearances in the Suicide Squad movies. You’ll rarely play a round of Fortnite and not see a Harley Quinn somewhere on the battlefield, because she’s just so popular. It also helps that there are multiple Outfit styles, so you can still stand out from the crowd. Galaxy Key Details Last seen: July 10th, 2020 – Cost: Play 3 matches on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 – Selectable styles: 1 (Default) – Released in: Chapter 1 Season 5 – Fortnite’s collaboration with Samsung produced a few exclusive skins, but none has been more in demand than the epic Galaxy skin, which was only available for players who purchased a Galaxy Note 9 or a Galaxy Tab S4. The hype surrounding the skin was so high that some players would visit Samsung stores to log in on one of the devices and try to claim it for themselves. Unfortunately, there’s no way of getting it anymore, as the skin was vaulted in early 2019. The Batman Who Laughs Key Details Last seen: December 6, 2023 – Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 1 (Default) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 8 – The Batman Who Laughs skin is a DC Comics crossover, introducing one of the darkest and most fascinating interpretations of Batman to the game. This skin was released as part of the Dark Multiverse collection and was available in the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks or via a redeemable code from the “Batman/Fortnite: Foundation” comic book. It embodies the character’s frightening spirit, which combines Batman’s wisdom with the Joker’s chaotic temperament, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to any player’s collection. Eddie Brock (Venom) Key Details Last seen: December 29, 2021 – Cost: 2,000 V-Bucks (Item Shop) – Selectable styles: 2 (Eddie Brock, Venom) – Released in: Chapter 2 Season 8 – The Eddie Brock skin in Fortnite was added to commemorate the character’s relationship to Venom, particularly around the time of the “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” movie release.

Best Fortnite settings for console: PS4, PS5, Xbox One & Switch – Dexerto
Best Fortnite settings for console: PS4, PS5, Xbox One & Switch Epic GamesFortnite allows you to change settings to improve everything from performance to graphical quality and aiming accuracy. Here are the best settings you can use. Epic Games’ popular battle royale title Fortnite has become one of the most popular games in the world, with millions trying to score a coveted Victory Royale at the end of every match to show off their gaming prowess. As a result, getting the right settings is incredibly important, as they can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing. But with so many options to adjust, where do you even start? It can be quite daunting. Every player has their own preferences and style of play, so we’d recommend that you play around with the options and see what works for you. But we’ve put together what we believe are some of the best settings in Fortnite below. Video Settings There aren’t too many Video settings to tinker with, but a few adjustments here and there can make a difference. Turning the Brightness up, for example, can make it easier to spot enemies when it’s dark on The Island. On the other hand, Contrast doesn’t matter too much. Motion Blur is supposed to give a more realistic look, but it can cause gameplay lag and even dizziness in some players. It’s a good idea to have Show FPS on, simply so you can figure out if you’re playing at an optimal 60fps. Of course, any Color Blind settings will be specific to the player. Brightness: 120 – User Interface Contrast: 0 – Color Blind Mode: Down to personal preference – Color Blind Strength: Down to personal preference – Motion Blur: Off – Show FPS: On – Game Settings One of the biggest changes you can make here is to set Matchmaking Region to the closest region to you, which will ensure your ping remains as low as possible. Auto may be faster, but it could result in a worse connection with lag in gameplay, especially during unusual hours. Toggle Sprint should be off and Sprint by Default should be on to keep you moving as fast as possible at all times. Turning Auto-Open Doors on, Hold to Swap Pickup off, and Tap to Search/Interact on will reduce the amount of time you’re vulnerable while standing still. Auto Sort Consumables to the Right being on will make switching weapons quicker. Finally, all of the build settings depend on your own play style, but most players prefer to have Disable Pre-Edit Option turned on as pre-edits often cause them to lose matches. Matchmaking Region: Set this to your nearest Region – Toggle Sprint: Off – Sprint by Default: On – Sprint Cancels Reloading: Off – Auto-Open Doors: On – Hold to Swap Pickup: Off – Toggle Targeting: Off – Mark Danger when Targeting: On – Auto Pick Up Weapons: Off – Auto Sort Consumables to Right: On – Reset Building Choice: On – Disable Pre-Edit Option: On – Turbo Building: On – Confirm Edit on Release: On – Contextual Tips: On – Invert View: Down to personal preference – Invert Airborne Controls: Down to personal preference – Turbo Delete in Creative Mode: On – Tap to Search/Interact: On – HUD Options There aren’t too many settings that are worth changing from the default selections here. Most of the HUD options like Reticle, Player Health, Resources, and Control Prompts are essential to playing Fortnite. However, if you do want to declutter your screen, you can turn off some options including Pickup Loot Stream, Elimination Feed, Net Debug Stats, and Quest Progress as they don’t have any real impact on how well you’ll perform in the game. Controller Options Turning Vibration and Adaptive Triggers (PS5 only) off will help you when aiming, as even subtle movements can throw your accuracy off. The Build Immediately option might take a while to get used to, but it will allow you to build much faster and defend yourself from enemy fire. Sensitivity is down to personal preference, but we’ve found that having higher sensitivity than the standard amount helps to aim quicker. Equally, reducing the Deadzone on both Left and Right Stick will allow for faster reactions. Controller Auto-run: On – Build Immediately (Builder Pro): On – Edit Hold Time: 0.150 seconds – Vibration: Off – Look Sensitivity: 6 (Normal++) – Aim Sensitivity (ADS): 6 (Normal++) – Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.5x – Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 1.2x – Use Advanced Options: Off – Left Stick Deadzone: 10% – Right Stick Deadzone: 10% – Enable Adaptive Triggers: Off – Use Effect for Press: Off – As we said before, choosing settings in any game ultimately comes down to personal preference, but using our recommendations above is a good starting point for any gamer. Play around with them in a few matches, and you’ll be a Fortnite pro in no time!

Best landing spots in Fortnite Reload – Dexerto
Best landing spots in Fortnite Reload epic gamesFind out the best Fortnite Reload landing spots in Chapter 5, Season 3 to get the best loot possible to prepare for the endgame. While it’s essential to gather the best weapons and work together with your teammates to secure a Victory Royale in Fortnite Reload, one thing that can boost your chances of winning is picking the right landing spot from the very start. At the beginning of Fortnite Reload, you can respawn every time you die as long as one person on your team is still alive. However, as soon as the match passes a certain time, that will no longer be the case – meaning that you’ll have to be very careful as you progress. That said, knowing the best landing spots in this mode can help you get a better idea of where to prepare, gear up, and even rotate throughout the game right off the bat. Here is the list of the best landing spots in Fortnite Reload. Pleasant Park Pleasant Park is a suburban-styled POI in Fortnite Reload, filled with multiple-story houses, basements, garages, and many others. What makes this an excellent spot to land is the amount of chests you’ll find in it. Not only is it brimming with all kinds of loot, but this location also provides plenty of cover, allowing you to play safely as you search for the best items. The only downside is that it’s quite a popular spot, so make sure to turn on footsteps if you haven’t already. It’s also recommended to wait before engaging in a fight until your whole team is ready just to be safe. Dusty Docks If you’re looking for somewhere quieter that still has plenty of loot, you’ll want to visit Dusty Docks. Depending on the Battle Bus route, this could be one of the last locations you’re forced to drop off to. The best thing about this POI, besides the loot, is that it provides much cover. You’ll have an easier time fighting any other teams dropping with you by rotating around the buildings and interiors. Though at the end of the day, your survival also depends on your skill. Retail Row Retail Row has an interesting layout, with plenty of houses that offer loot and a hill nearby – giving you the opportunity to sneak up and snipe your enemies while they’re busy fighting each other nearby. However, if you don’t find a sniper other weapons can also be viable, depending on your skills and positioning. Additionally, this area in Fortnite encourages you to mantle into rooftops thanks to its layout. This makes it easier to call out or ping flankers to your teammates. Lone Lodge Much like its name, Lone Lodge has a peaceful look to it, mainly because the POI is surrounded by so many trees. Here, you’ll find a few houses with plenty of loot despite the POI being small compared to others. Some of the loot can also be found outside near the trees. This may not look like an ideal place to land due to its size, but knowing that there’s less competition can help you gear up early without dealing with sweats obliterating your entire team in one sweep. Later, you can rotate to other locations once you’re all set. Tilted Towers Tilted Towers is undoubtedly one of the most popular locations in Fortnite OG, and the same goes with Reload. Located at the center of the map with plenty of high-rise buildings and chests, it’s almost impossible to find this spot looking dead quiet – at least in the beginning. Expect to see multiple footsteps roaming around the same building as you try to navigate the whole place. That said, if you can survive dealing with other teams who drop here, all the loot at the end makes the effort very well worth it.

Best Fortnite Season 3 landing locations revealed in new breakdown – Dexerto
Best Fortnite Season 3 landing locations revealed in new breakdown Epic GamesThere’s a world of difference with Fortnite’s newly drenched map in Season 3 but players may have already figured out the most successful landing locations in the battle royale. While the many new locations in Season 3 can be daunting at first, deciding where to land is another challenge in and of itself. As with every new map overhaul though, players are already figuring out the best places to start your looting frenzy. Much of the new map is segmented as bodies of water divide land like never before. There’s all-new vehicles to get you through the flooded locale, but where should you be looking to start your run? A new set of data compiled by Novos has uncovered the most popular landing zones, along with the most successful landing zones to boot. Here’s a full rundown. What are the best landing spots in Fortnite Season 3? Since the launch of Season 3 on June 17, casual players and competitive veterans alike have all been looking to master the new changes. If you’ve been grinding as a lone wolf in the Arena playlist, you may be surprised to learn that one drop spot stands out from the rest. Sweaty Sands has the highest success rate of any solo landing spot in Fortnite’s Arena game mode. Of all games played since the release, Sweaty Sands leads to a top 35 placement on average. This is significantly higher than any other location on map. There’s a great deal of loot for players to snag and it also gives players a good amount of freedom. Once you know the position of the storm and where it’s headed, you can easily navigate to Pleasant Park, Salty Springs, or Holly Hedges. If you prefer to play as part of a Trio, Rickety Rig has been highlighted as the most successful landing spot in Season 3. However, there’s not as much of a gap between the next best locations in this mode. The Yacht, Frenzy Farm, Steamy Stacks, and Holly Hedges come together in a closely contested top five. Public matches differ from the Arena playlist, however. As solos have found more success in Steamy Stacks, duos at The Yacht, and Squads at Misty Meadows. Still trying to wrap your head around all of the new changes in Season 3? We’ve got you covered. Here’s our in-depth breakdown of the latest map overhaul in Fortnite.

These islands may be anything from Deathrun maps to Gun Games to the hilarious Prop Hunt ones. With the help of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), the mode has now developed into a metaverse brimming with breathtaking experiences influenced by many pop cultural phenomena and other games. Red vs. Blue, a hit web series from the early 2000s that took place in the Halo universe, is one example of many inspirations for these experiences. The launch of the Master Chief skin in Fortnite in 2020 marked the official debut of these Creative maps, with Blood Gulch being the first in the category. Since then, Red vs. Blue has grown into a staple of Fortnite Creative, taking cues from the traditional team-based shooters wherein two teams, represented by the colors red and blue, battle fiercely in intense combat. Designed with balance and competition in mind, these maps will test your and your team’s mettle.

Builds are disabled, and players must use the latest mobility tools like the Kinetic Blade, Rocket Ram, and more to reach the enemy area.

The Pit – Red vs Blue: 8683-4941-1519 The Pit is a famous Fortnite Creative map that players use for build battles because of its vast area.

Best Fortnite Creative map codes to play in 2021 – Dexerto
Best Fortnite Creative map codes to play in 2021 Epic GamesFortnite Creative maps give players the freedom to let their imagination run wild, with everything from obstacle courses to innovative new game modes on offer. When Epic Games launched Creative mode in 2018, it promised a huge sandbox experience for gamers to build to their heart’s content. It’s more than delivered on those expectations over the last few years and has become the standout mode for many players. As well as being able to design their own Creative Islands and jump into featured games in the Welcome Hub, players can use map codes to access a seemingly endless number of community creations, each presenting a new way of playing. From massive RPG creations to horror adventures and even maps based on popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, we’ve collected some of the best custom maps that you can play in Fortnite Creative mode right now. Best Fortnite Creative Codes We’ve gone into more detail about all of these Creative maps below so you can get a better idea about what each one entails, and whether you want to play them or not. They’re all incredibly fun, though, so make sure you give them all a try. Fall Guys Fortnite: 3958-4575-1075 Whether you’re still obsessed with Fall Guys or you stopped playing months ago, it’s definitely worth checking out this custom Fortnite map just to see how much work has gone into it. It’s an almost identical recreation of the hit party royale game’s levels including Slime Climb, Door Dash, and Hex-A-Gone, as 16 players dodge obstacles and attempt to reach the finish line. Purple Garden: 3449-3963-3944 One of the darker maps in Fortnite’s Creative mode is the Purple Garden, which tries to answer the existential question, “What happens to a player after they’re eliminated in Battle Royale mode?” There’s a lot of exploring to do, and a big mystery to solve. You might have seen this map on various Fortnite streams, as many consider it to be one of the best custom maps of all time. Cybernite 2: 5959-5776-7711 Many were left disappointed by CD Projekt RED’s highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077, but this Fortnite map full of bright lights and futuristic vibes might offer some comfort. Cybernite 2 allows players to take on the role of The Hacker, a member of a group called Scorpion who gets to explore an impressive neon-colored District while avoiding CybSec’s gaze. Tales of the Explorer: 8033-7025-4735 While most Creative maps in Fortnite offer up quick bites of fast-paced fun, Tales of the Explorer might be the most in-depth and immersive experience we’ve seen in the game. Players take on the role of an explorer searching for their father who went missing on a dangerous expedition. You can upgrade stats, cook recipes, fight monsters and conquer dungeons. It’s seriously impressive. Dead by Fortlight: 8099-5981-3796 Another popular multiplayer game that’s been given the Fortnite treatment is Dead by Daylight, the cult classic from Behaviour Interactive that merges various horror franchises together. In this faithful recreation, there are three survivors and one killer. The survivors must destroy the generators and the killer must stop them. It might not be as scary as the real game, but it’s still a whole lot of fun. The Shire from Lord of the Rings: 2341-0879-7382 If you’re looking for something a little more zen when you next load up Fortnite, perhaps you could pay a visit to The Shire from Lord of the Rings? This incredibly detailed recreation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s iconic landscape is sure to calm you down after an intense battle, as you explore the inside of the Hobbit House or relax down by the river. The Hudson Mansion: 4293-5026-9534 Now for something truly unique: The Hudson Mansion. It’s an original horror story where you, the player, take on the role of a journalist exploring the mystery surrounding the sadistic Hudson family. The atmosphere is tense as you explore the family’s mansion and the fog-covered grounds outside, and there are plenty of jump-scares along the way for fans of both Fortnite and horror. 100 Level Rainbow Deathrun: 0388-5756-0977 Death Runs are a popular genre in Creative mode, and this creation from Meep is top-tier. You’ll have to avoid insta-death forcefields, make treacherous (and well-timed) jumps, and shoot targets to make floating platforms appear. The stages are described as being “easy to medium” difficulty, but good luck completing them all! Fantasy Princess Gungame: 2933-9593-6272 This gorgeous fantasy castle setting looks straight out of a Disney movie. It features a courtyard decorated with water features, spires you can climb, and fireworks exploding in the background. Read More: Best Fortnite skins ever released – But it quickly becomes a warzone as players duke it out with a cycle of 30 weapons. The rules are simple: The first to 30 kills wins. Just don’t get distracted by how good it all looks. Capture The Flag (City): 5895-8518-1900 Capture The Flag is a classic mode in multiplayer games, and it works very well in Fortnite Creative. This is one of our favorites – you’ll spawn in a mysterious and eerily quiet city that’s shrouded in fog as you battle it out in two teams to capture three flags. The fog might make it hard to see, but it also makes it easier to ambush your opponents… The Last Maze: 7807-0098-3064 Fans of the popular Maze Runner franchise will immeditately feel at home in this Escape Maze map, which takes plenty of inspiration from James Dashner’s dystopian books and the recent big screen adaptations. This labrynth will leave you scratching your head, but it’s always satisfying when you make it to the end. Fortnite Basketball: 3613-5135-9180 Now that players can wear official NBA skins in Fortnite, creator SKTTLZ decided to bring the popular sport to the game with this innovative Creative map that puts gamers at the heart of basketball. Of course, there aren’t actual basketball items to throw in Fortnite, so a Flopper fish will do the job. Players need to throw the Floppers into the hoop to score points, or you can go off and explore the stadium. Fiend Slayer Primal Survival: 0302-3674-9098 The second map on our list from the incredibly talented spazy64 is Fiend Slayer: Primal Survival. Inspired by Call of Duty’s popular Zombies mode, teams of up to four players will fight to survive against hordes of the undead while collecting power-ups and weapons. It’s another seriously impressive Creative experience, and even comes with boss fights. What more could you ask for? Star Wars Jedha City: 4619-1110-7182 If you’re a massive Star Wars fan, you can’t get much better than this Jedha City map. It’s a Gun Game with 25 weapons and up to 16 players, so you’ll have plenty of shootout action to get through while exploring. What are you waiting for? Put on your best Star Wars skin, whether that’s Kylo Ren or The Mandalorian, and explore this incredibly-detailed map. It’s just a shame there aren’t any lightsabers around… Season 1 Battle Royale: 3192-4487-8318 If you’re longing for the good old days of Fortnite’s Season 1 map, you’ll be glad to know that the entire map has been faithfully recreated in Creative mode. This map features Season 1 loot and all your favorite POIs like Wailing Woods, Lonely Lodge, and Anarchy Acres. Grab some friends, and feel the nostalgia. How to load a Creative Island in Fortnite If you’re not sure how to use a Creative Island code in Fortnite, it’s actually pretty easy. You can do this from the main menu, or when you’re already in Creative mode. Just follow the steps below: Load up Fortnite and enter Creative mode. – Walk up to a featured island rift. – Hold down the ‘Use’ button to bring up the code menu. – Type the code for the island you want to visit. – Walk into the rift to begin. – That’s it for our list of the best Creative maps in Fortnite.

Each season, Fortnite players discover new strategies to level up quicker and finish their Battle Pass before the season ends. To proceed through their pass, players must collect XP by completing missions in the Battle Royale, Rocket Racing, Festival, and LEGO Fortnite modes. Those who wish to avoid the grind could head to Creative or UEFN maps to participate in illicit XP glitch maps. Although they can initially provide significant amounts of XP, the consequences might eventually result in an Epic account ban. On the other side, there are various enjoyable maps in Fortnite Creative that you can enjoy while earning legitimate XP using faster-than-usual tactics to avoid the grind. Here are the 7 best Fortnite Creative maps that grant generous XP. Contents Best XP map codes in Fortnite – Full breakdown of best XP map codes – How to load a Creative map in Fortnite – 7 Best Fortnite Creative maps for earning legit XP You can find more details about each individual Fortnite map below that grants legit XP, with screenshots and information about their gameplay styles so you can decide whether you want to play them or not.

Full breakdown of best Fortnite Creative maps to earn XP The Pit – Free For All: 4590-4493-7113 The Pit – Free For All by Geerzy is one of the top practice maps in Fortnite Creative. Players can claim their choice of loot from spawn and drop into a huge pit to battle among themselves. Furthermore, you can earn ridiculous amounts of XP when you eliminate an opponent in a single shot, plus you earn bonus XP if that’s a headshot.

Complete the course and earn bonus XP with each stage. Zombieland: 9369-6922-8408 Zombieland is by far the most fun map of them all where killing endless waves of husk monsters is your ultimate goal.

Once you start eliminating zombies faster, you earn more XP and from there, it gets easier for you to level up along your account level. LEGO Obby Fun: 6344-4048-9837 LEGO Obby Fun marks the introduction of LEGO-themed UEFN maps and is a gorgeous obstacle course fully modeled using LEGO Fortnite assets.

So challenge yourself and clear the beautiful LEGO obstacle course set in the skies. Crazyy Red vs Blue: 2898-7886-8847 Unleash chaos and mayhem in RVB’s Crazyy Red vs Blue map. In this Fortnite map, you get access to all weapons from the vast loot pool that you can use and vehicles as well so you are well equipped to wipe out the other team. Furthermore with each elimination, you gain an insane amount of XP which helps you level up faster. Prison Breakout RP: 6531-4403-0726 A stunning roleplay map where you assume the role of a Prisoner or a Guard, Prison Breakout RP is one of the most detailed Fortnite maps. In the game you get to perform a plethora of activities like mining, robbing a bank, heist diamonds, and so on. For each little task you do, you earn XP, so make sure to party up with your friends and give this one a go. Furthermore, you can also drive around the map or fly a choppa to wreak havoc.

Best Fortnite aim settings for PC, console & mobile – Dexerto
Best Fortnite aim settings for PC, console & mobile Epic Games/DexertoAre you wondering what aim settings to go for while playing Fortnite? We’ve got the best ones right here on PC, mobile, and consoles. Fans of the Battle Royale genre often choose Fortnite because of its packed features. Players can enjoy the Epic Games title on their preferred device, thanks to the game’s accessibility across several platforms and cross-platform features. One feature that Fortnite players are always looking to lock down early on to be better at the game is their Aim. These include Aim Sensitivity, Input Methods, Aim Assist, and Controller Deadzone, all of which are contributing factors to the best settings for a Fortnite player to grab that Victory Royale. If you’re on a PC, mobile, or console and aren’t sure which aim settings to use, we’ve got the best options for you right here. How to change aim settings in Fortnite Aim settings are located in Fortnite settings that you’ll be able to access by pressing the top right Avatar icon on the main screen. Once there, hit the gear button on the left pane to go into the Settings menu. You’ll be presented with the Video settings first but using the top tabs, you can navigate between Touch and Motion (Mobile), Mouse and Keyboard (PC), and Controller settings pages. From there, you can change the settings for your preferred device using our recommendations below. Best PC Aim settings If you’re playing on a PC, your aim primarily depends on your Mouse sensitivity settings that decide the speed you’re moving your crosshair, building structures, and using ADS to fire weapons. While these settings are set to normal values by default to assist a first-time player, if you’d like to get better and make the most out of your Keyboard and Mouse, here are the best recommended Aim settings for PC you should choose. Recommended Mouse Sensitivity Settings X-Axis Sensitivity: 7.0% – Y-Axis Sensitivity: 7.0% – Targeting Sensitivity: 40.0% – Scope Sensitivity: 40.0% – Building Sensitivity: 100% – Editing Sensitivity: 100% – Ignore Controller Input: Off – Lock Input Method as Mouse: On – We recommend setting the X & Y axis sensitivity to 7% since you’ll want to maintain a steady pace while building structures and aiming your weapons but not too fast. The recommended values ensure accuracy and give you enough area to move your mouse around your desk. The Targeting and Scope Sensitivity values are 40% since you’d want your crosshair to move quicker than usual so you can snap on enemy targets faster and keep the action going. The Building and Editing Sensitivity is at 100% since accuracy while building structures and editing through them in a build fight is vital. You want to be quick, but not too fast that you make a mistake and let an enemy in your box during a 1v1 situation. Lastly, lock your Input Method as Mouse and Ignore Controller Input so you get minimum latency with your device. Recommended Keyboard Movement settings Use Custom Diagonals: On – Forward Diagonal Angle: 70 – Strafe Angle: 90 – Backward Diagonal Angle: 135 – Recommended Mouse Flight settings Sensitivity Multiplier for Aircraft: 100% – Invert Aircraft Mouse Controls: Off – While Keyboard settings aren’t as important when it comes to aiming, good movement is a vital component of your Fortnite gameplay. The custom diagonals ensure your diagonal movement is freeform rather than jerky movement across the map. The Forward, Strafe and Backward angle values allow you to be quick enough on your turns and 360 movement on the island, but at the same time ensure you’re not just going anywhere. Lastly, since Fortnite doesn’t have any flying vehicles at the moment, you can simply let the Mouse Flight settings on default values. Best Console Aim settings When it comes to playing Fortnite on a console, you’re presented with an entirely different input method, which is a controller. Console players are often frowned upon in the community by pros due to an added advantage of Aim Assist which allows them to be more precise with their shots. However, apart from that there are also several factors that determine your gameplay while using a Controller. Here are the best recommended Aim settings for the Console or Controller that you should choose. Recommended Input settings Controller Auto-Run: On – Build Immediately (Builder Pro): On – Edit Hold Time: 0.100 seconds – Slide Hold Time: 0.040 seconds – Reset Camera Axes: Both – Reset Camera Time: 0.100 Seconds – Vibration: Off – When using a controller, you need to make sure you’re pressing all the right buttons to move, build, aim, and edit in Fortnite. Enabling Controller Auto-Run allows you to focus on the important things without having to worry about aiming or doing other things in the game. At the same time, turn on Builder Pro if you’d like your structures to build immediately without the frustrating snapping animation. Furthermore, if you’re in a build fight, you’d need to be quick at editing to make structures and crank 90s. A lesser Edit Hold Time like 0.100 seconds lets you do that much faster than others. At the same time, lower Slide Hold times like 0.040 seconds let you fall into a slide quicker while sprinting. When you’re in combat, you’ll tend to move your camera a lot using different weapons and while building. The Reset Camera Axes option when enabled to both makes your view centered with a quicker time of 0.100 seconds. Finally, turn the controller vibration off so your hands accurately hit buttons and move the joysticks as you want them to without any hindrance. Furthermore, set your Quick Weapon settings to default, but ensure it is set to Custom Only so you can set the weapons/items in your inventory slot according to your preference to switch to them quicker during a match. Recommended Sensitivity settings Look Sensitivity: Default disabled – Aim Sensitivity (ADS): Default disabled – Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 2.2x – Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: 2.3x – Use Advanced Options: On – Recommended Advanced Look Sensitivity settings Look Horizontal Speed: 45% – Look Vertical Speed: 45% – Turning Horizontal Boost: 0% – Turning Vertical Boost: 0% – Turning Boost Ramp Time: 0.00 Seconds – Instant Boost When Building: Off – Recommended Advanced Aim Down Sights (ADS) Sensitivity settings ADS Look Horizontal Speed: 10% – ADS Look Vertical Speed: 10% – ADS Turning Horizontal Boost: 0% – ADS Turning Vertical Boost: 0% – ADS Turning Boost Ramp Time: 0.00 Seconds – Recommended Advanced Sensitivity settings Look Dampening Time: 0.00 Seconds – Look Input Curve: Linear – Aim Assist Strength: 100% – Copy Basic Settings: Do not change – Copy Legacy Settings: Do not change – Recommended Controller Dead Zone settings Left Stick Dead Zone: 10% – Right Stick Dead Zone: 7% – If you want to make the best out of your controller, turn the Advanced Options to On which will disable the default values of Look and Aim sensitivity. However, change the Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier to 2.2x and the Edit Mode to 2.3x to perform those actions quicker while playing the classic battle Royale. In Look Sensitivity, assign Horizontal and Vertical Speed values to 45 since you want your analog sticks to perform in a uniform motion rather than moving at a different pace across the screen. Keep the Turning values to 0 since you don’t want to depend on how far you push your sticks on the controller. Keep the Instant Boost when building off as well which ensures a steady pace throughout. Coming to ADS sensitivity, the look speed is recommended to be set at 10% horizontally and vertically to maintain the same uniformity in movement as we suggested earlier. Also, similar to look settings, keep all turning values to 0. For Sensitivity, keep the Look Dampening Time to 0 since you don’t want any delay while switching your direction. That is further enhanced by enabling Linear Look Input Curve which ensures your raw stick input determines your character’s actions in the game. Lastly, push the Aim Assist Strength to 100%, after all, there’s no shame if you’d like to make your shots snap faster on your targets. However, while playing on a console, controller drift is a significant contributor to players being unable to fully benefit from aim assist. Hence you can change the Dead Zone values according to your controller, for us keeping the Left Stick at 10% and the Right Stick at 7% worked perfectly. Best Mobile Aim settings Fortnite returned to iOS in the EU and is available globally on Android via the Epic Games app. You can play the Battle Royale title using touch controls on your handheld devices, which come with different settings. Here are the best Mobile Aim settings we recommend for your gameplay: Select Fire Mode: Auto Fire Recommended Touch Sensitivity settings Touch Sensitivity: 19% – Touch Targeting Sensitivity: 37% – Touch Scope Sensitivity: 39% – Touch Building Sensitivity: 143% – Touch Edit Mode Sensitivity: 140% – Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier: 101% – Look Acceleration Strength: 100% – Aim Assist: Off – If you’re a Fortnite player on Mobile and want to match the level of PC and console players, then the game provides you with an Auto Fire feature with a stronger aim assist. When it comes to aiming, your Touch Sensitivity should be set to 19, Targeting at 37, and Scope at 39 to give you the best possible results as you drift your fingers across the screen. However, when it comes to Building and Edit Mode, your values rise to 143 and 140 since you’d want to be quicker than others. At the same time keeping the Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier at 101 and Look Acceleration at 100 ensures a faster camera movement while you’re playing. But turn the aim assist off since it’s already being taken care of by your Auto Fire mode. Furthermore, turn Gyro Aiming off and keep other values to default since you won’t be using them most of the time. Although mobile may not be the most ideal platform for Fortnite, it does offer a variety of accessibility features to assist players in having a good time.
