With this said, there are only two locations that they’ll spawn, Believer Beach and Retail Row. Here are all the locations of the CB Radios. Believer Beach Retail Row Once you are within the locations circled on the map, you are going to be looking for a table with a small radio on top of it. This is the CB Radio and you will have to go up to it and use your interact key, and you will be one step closer to completing the challenge.

All Cabbage Cart locations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Epic Games/GuilleGagCabbage Carts from Avatar: The Last Airbender are now on the Fortnite island. Here’s where you can find and destroy them. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has finally brought the Avatar crossover in the game with an event called Avatar: Elements. The event brings a new mini-pass, four Avatar characters as skins, three new mythics, and a brand new questline for players to complete. Upon completing Elements Quests, players can unlock rewards in the event pass and gain XP. While several of those quests require you to visit an Elemental Shrine or use the mythic items, one quest requires you to destroy a Cabbage Cart around the Fortnite map. If you’re wondering where to find these carts in the game, we’ve got you covered right here. All Cabbage Cart locations on the Fortnite map There are a total of 26 Cabbage Carts spread across the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 map. You can find a cart almost near every POI, so make sure to roam around till you find one. However, to make things easier, here’s a map with all the marked locations of every Cabbage Cart you can find: Simply head to a location and you’ll find either the cart toppled on the ground or in perfect condition. How to destroy a Cabbage Cart When you locate a Cabbage Cart on the Fortnite island, simply go up to it and strike it with your pickaxe. Continue hitting it until it is fully destroyed. However, you may make things simpler by firing at the cart with your weapons. Make sure the cart is entirely damaged and the cabbages have fallen off; only then will your quest be considered completed.

All boss locations in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 Epic GamesEvery season of Fortnite has its own boss fights dotted around the map, so we’ve put together all the boss locations in Chapter 4: Season 1 to help you find them. Whichever season of Fortnite you’re playing, there are always plenty of things to discover around the map – whether that’s NPCs who sell Exotic weapons, wild animals to ride on, or locations themed on your favorite movies. There’s also usually at least one boss fight to encounter in each season. These dangerous NPCs will attack you on sight and have some powerful weapons (as well as plenty of health) so they’re very difficult to defeat. You’ll get some great rewards for taking down a boss, though, and you’ll sometimes need to defeat one to complete an in-game quest. So if you’re looking for all the boss locations this season, we’ve got you covered. All boss locations in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 There’s currently just one boss in Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 1 and that’s the Ageless Champion at The Citadel. We found this boss inside the throne room of the main castle, although he may roam around the upper floors of the castle so you might need to do some exploring. We’ve marked all of the current Fortnite boss locations on the map below: How to defeat the Ageless Champion boss in Fortnite Before you take on the Ageless Champion, you should stock up on some decent weapons. Fortunately, you can do this around The Citadel as there are plenty of regular Chests and even Oathbound Chests which contain rare weapons. We’ve got a list of the best weapons in the current Fortnite season, but we would recommend using short-to-medium-range weapons like a shotgun or an assault rifle as there’s not really enough room to fight from a large distance inside the castle. As for your opponent, the Ageless Champion will have a Shockwave Hammer and an Ex-Caliber Rifle, so he’ll be able to attack you whether you’re close by or far away. He’s also got a lot of health to get rid of, so be prepared for a long fight. As with any boss fight, you’ll need to focus on avoiding receiving damage as much as dishing it out. For this reason, you should always make sure you’ve got cover nearby and keep a Med-Mist or a Shield Potion in your inventory if possible. A good approach is to squad up with friends, as this battle will be a lot easier (and faster) if you’ve got four people targeting him. If you’re feeling brave, you could even act as a distraction while the rest of your team deals damage from a safe distance. It’s worth pointing out that if you’re trying to defeat the Ageless Champion boss as part of a quest, you only need to assist in defeating them. This means you can land one shot and then run away – as long as someone else manages to defeat them. That’s everything you need to know about this season’s boss locations!

All Bounty Board locations in Fortnite Season 8 Epic GamesBounty Boards in Fortnite are one of the best ways to earn extra Gold Bars, and you’ll need to find them to complete specific challenges. Here are all of their locations in Season 8. Bounties are challenges that task players with hunting down opponents and eliminating them for a reward of Gold Bars. In previous seasons, you could take on Bounties from NPCs, but in Season 8 they’re exclusive to Bounty Boards. There are a number of reasons you might need to find a Bounty Board. Maybe you’ve got a Punchcard quest that asks you to start a Bounty, or perhaps you want to earn some Gold Bars to purchase the latest Exotic weapons. Fortunately, there are quite a few Bounty Boards in Fortnite Season 8, meaning you shouldn’t have to travel far to find one. They aren’t marked on the map, though, so you’ll need to know where to look. We’ve got you covered. Contents Bounty Board locations in Fortnite There are 18 Bounty Boards in Fortnite Season 8. We’ve marked them on the map above to make finding them a little easier, and also listed them below: Believer Beach – Boat Dock near Lockie’s Lighthouse – Boney Burbs – Bus Stop northeast of Lazy Lake – Camp Cod (island south of Catty Corner) – Catty Corner – Dirty Docks – Dusted Depot (east of The Convergence) – Fancy View (west of Believer Beach) – FN Radio (on the hill east of Craggy Cliffs) – Hydro 16 (east of Sludgy Swamp) – Misty Meadows – Pylon south of Steamy Stacks – Risky Reels (north of The Convergence) – Sludgy Swamp – Stealthy Stronghold – The Orchard (farm north of Corny Crops) – Weeping Woods – You can visit any of these locations to start a Bounty, but if you’re looking to actually complete one and earn Gold Bars, you might be better off choosing one near the center of the map or near a busy location. How to complete Bounties using Bounty Boards in Fortnite Once you’ve found a Bounty Board in Fortnite, you can interact with it to start a Player Bounty, where you’ll be asked to track down and eliminate a specific player before time runs out for a reward of 75 Gold Bars and some XP. The player you’re targeting will appear on the map as a yellow circle, but you’ll only see the general area they’re in. This means you’ll still need to do a bit of searching to find them, but the marker will become more accurate over time. Read More: When is Naruto coming to Fortnite? – Player Bounties end when your target is eliminated or the timer on the Bounty runs out. If another player eliminates your target, you’ll still get some Gold Bars (albeit a smaller amount) and any quests involving Bounties will be completed. You won’t be punished if a Player Bounty runs out of time before your target is eliminated, but you’ll miss out on any Gold Bars you would have earned.

All Ariana Grande Fortnite easter eggs & secrets from Rift Tour concert Epic GamesThe Rift Tour was arguably the biggest event Fortnite has ever pulled off, and there were plenty of references to both Ariana Grande’s career and Fortnite lore hidden away in there. After months of teasing, pop superstar Ariana Grande finally made her debut in the Fortnite metaverse on Friday, August 6, when she followed in the footsteps of Travis Scott and Marshmello by performing a virtual concert for gamers around the world. As the music icon performed hits like 7 Rings and Positions, players were taken through a variety of worlds and experiences that referenced not only key moments from Ariana’s career and life, but also memorable events in Fortnite history. There was a lot going on in this live Fortnite event, so we’ve recapped all of the easter eggs, references, and hints at the future that you might have missed during Ariana Grande’s concert below. Breathin’ music video: The swing scene As Fortnite players floated through the clouds on flying unicorns, riding through as many rainbow rings as they could, Ariana Grande appeared in the distance singing R.E.M. – an album track from her Sweetener album. She was also sweeping backwards and forwards on a swing suspended in the sky, a scene that will look familiar to dedicated Arianators as she also did this in her music video for fan-favorite track, Breathin’. Sweetener World Tour: The Relativity stairs In a later Rift Tour scene, Ariana Grande ascended a set of stairs into the sky while performing The Way, a track from her debut album Yours Truly. Fortnite players followed her through various doors while walking along the walls. While it was a clear reference to the painting Relativity by Dutch artist M. C. Escher, it’s also a throwback to Ariana’s Sweetener Tour and her Tonight Show performance, where she appeared in front of a Relativity-inspired set. A tribute to Mac Miller Fans were unsure if they would ever hear Ariana perform The Way again after the passing of Mac Miller, but choosing to include the song in her Fortnite concert was a lovely way to pay tribute to the late rapper. Many viewers also saw Ariana Grande walking up the pearly-white stairs in the sky while performing the Mac Miller-featuring track as a reference to heaven or the afterlife. God is a Woman music video: The hammer scene As a giant Ariana Grande performed the final song of her Rift Tour set, Positons, among aurora borealis-inspired lighting, she picked up a giant hammer and slammed it into the ground, sending Fortnite players flying. It’s not the first time Ariana has wielded a hammer like this. In her God is a Woman music video, she launched a hammer straight through the ‘glass ceiling’ as God (voiced by Madonna) spurred her on. A new costume for Drift? This one is for the Fortnite lore fans. In a touching scene before Ariana Grande’s appearance that saw players help revive their fallen allies, the character that lifts you up is Drift, who’s got deep ties to Kevin the Cube. We’ll get onto that big teaser in a minute, but some eagle-eyed fans noticed what appears to be a new outfit for Drift in the background, where he has black hair. Could this mean Drift will return in a future storyline? Or maybe as a new skin in the Item Shop? Kevin the Cube is returning Fans of Fortnite have predicted this one for a while now, but a brief moment at the start of the Rift Tour appeared to confirm that ‘Kevin the Cube’ will indeed be returning before Chapter 2 comes to a close. You can just about see the iconic purple cube in the screenshot above. For those who don’t know, this strange object caused havoc across the Island in Season X, but it remains shrouded in mystery to this day. Out of all the Fortnite memories that appear during this opening scene, it appears this is the one the alien invaders are searching for. Even more interesting, the image depicts Kevin the Cube on the current Island. If you missed Ariana Grande’s Fortnite concert, you can watch it below. With the Rift Tour over and done with, many players will be looking ahead to the future. What implications does this event have for the rest of the Fortnite world? Well, Epic Games lead Donald Mustard has teased that the aliens used the event to scan our brains and steal information to help their invasion. Aside from that, Superman is expected to make his Fortnite debut very soon. Keep up to date with the latest news, guides, and leaks on our dedicated Fortnite page.

All 14 Days of Fortnite challenges are back for a limited time Over the Christmas period, players were given the chance to take part in a ‘14 Days of Fortnite’ limited time event and challenges. Unfortunately for some fans, the challenges were disabled earlier than expected. Many players disappointed at the fact that they no longer had the chance to complete the challenges and earn the various cosmetic rewards, voicing their displeasure across various forms of social media. Epic awarded any players that had completed at least one challenge with the Equalizer glider and released a blog post saying that they would be re-enabling the challenges soon. “Players who were unable to complete those Challenges will be able to earn all of the rewards they may have initially missed out on,” explained the developers. “All Challenges will be available to complete for the entire duration of the event. Unfortunately, progress on partially completed challenges has to be reset.” On January 7, the challenges went live once again. Epic have confirmed that all of the challenges are available and that they will remain enabled until January 15 at 3 AM ET(08:00 UTC). 14 Days of Fortnite has been extended for a limited time!

Fortnite Alien Parasites: How they work, how to remove them & spawns Epic GamesFortnite‘s alien-themed Season 7 is in full swing, and the recent v17.10 update has brought new Alien Parasites to the battle royale map. Here’s a complete overview of how they will work. Aliens have well and truly taken over in Fortnite Season 7 aptly titled ‘Invasion’. From pilotable UFOs to other-worldly weapons, cosmic chests, and new NPCs, their impact can be felt through the entire game as players to try level up fast through the Battle Pass. One of the biggest new additions, however, are Alien Parasites. While they may appear terrifying at first, these critters will actually come with some unique gameplay boosts. They might not be ideal for every scenario, but coming across a swarm of Parasites may help in a sticky situation. Here’s what they do and how you can use them to your advantage now that they’ve arrived in the game during Chapter 2, Season 7. Contents How parasites work – All parasite stats in Fortnite Season 7 – How to remove parasites – Where do parasites spawn? – When are Alien Parasites coming to Fortnite Season 7? – How Alien Parasites work in Fortnite Season 7 Alien Parasites are AI-controlled creatures on the Season 7 map. They’re tiny but appear in rather large swarms, with more than a dozen often appearing at any given moment. At first, they appear inside of green eggs littered throughout certain locations. Upon getting close, these eggs will hatch and the purple Alien Parasites will try to latch on. They do this by jumping on your head and refusing to let go. While your character may struggle at first, you’ll still be in full control. You can still fire weapons and move around the map freely with a Parasite now glued to your head. In fact, you may even want to do so considering their unique buff. Having a Parasite on you means you’ll move faster, jump higher, and even be protected against headshots. This boost does come with a tradeoff, as the Alien Parasite will zap you down to 60 HP. Shield remains unaffected, though. All Alien Parasite stats in Fortnite Season 7 We’ve listed everything that we know so far about parasites, and how they’ll impact gameplay: Each parasite will have 75 health, whereas their eggs will have 60 health. – The parasites are contained in green eggs that spawn across the map. – The eggs will only hatch when you approach them. – Before attaching to you, you’ll receive a warning. – They’re able to be picked up and thrown, too. – The upcoming Alien Parasites will spawn as green eggs consistently in some places with 100% spawn chance (probably the purple landmarks around the map) and they also spawn in random places with a 66% chance! They can also be picked up as throwables but that might be scrapped! pic.twitter.com/RhaGROBe3J — HYPEX (@HYPEX) June 12, 2021 While you’re likely to be able to plan which best landing spots to jump into depending on if you’re looking to avoid or find the parasites, you’ll still need to watch out. The Parasite spawn locations seem as if they’ll be relatively consistent, but it looks like there’s a 66% chance of random spawns throughout the map, too. How to remove Alien Parasites in Fortnite Season 7 Once a Parasite is stuck to your head, it’ll be a little difficult to get rid of it. Currently, it seems like there are only three things you can do to detach the alien creature: Jump in some water. – Walk through some fire. – Enter a prop. – This means if you end up finding yourself stuck in the middle of the map with no water nearby, you could have the Parasite attached for quite a while. Finding a vehicle could certainly help, but if not, starting a fire definitely could. Here’s how to get rid of Alien Parasites that stick to you: “Detach and ignore you for a few seconds if you touch fire, water, or enter a prop” Also other text related to them: “An Alien Parasite has attached to you! Enjoy enhanced mobility in exchange for some health!” — HYPEX (@HYPEX) June 8, 2021 Where do Alien Parasites spawn in Fortnite Season 7? Alien Parasites are set to appear across the entire map. Early rumors point towards their green eggs spreading throughout purple mutated zones in the Season 7 update. These eggs will be in noticeable clusters, rather than individual pods spaced out across a POI. Parasites can also attach to wildlife like boars and wolves, and eliminating them will transfer the Parasites to you. When are Alien Parasites coming to Fortnite Season 7? Details about the Alien Parasites were leaked at the start of Season 7, and following the v17.10 update, they’ve finally arrived on the Island. Good luck dealing with them! So, there you have it.

Ali-A tests how many bots are actually in Fortnite games Those who have played Fortnite Chapter 2 already will know there are a number of bots to be found in pretty much every game, but popular YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has revealed a really helpful trick to count how many are appearing in matches. Epic Games confirmed ahead of their game’s latest major update that bots would be added, which sparked a number of different reactions from the community at the time, but they have no doubt helped fill up games a lot faster than they would previously. With that being said, it’s sometimes unclear as to whether or not you’re facing up against literal bots or been matched up in games with players with a lower skill level. So, these tricks from Ali-A should really come in handy for working that out. The popular internet personality, known for his viral YouTube videos playing Pokemon Go, Call of Duty and many other games, uploaded a video to his channel on October 23 tackling the issue of bots in Fortnite. Starting out on the spawn island, he stood around just staring at other characters for a few moments, before exiting back out to the pre-game lobby. From there, he headed to Replay Mode and used the drone camera to look around. “Boot up your replay file, it’s easiest to see on respawn island because everyone is in one place. Go onto camera options and if you go across to nameplates, turn that on,” he explained. Ali-A added: “Once that’s on, you can then go into drone free, turn on the heads up display, and this is where we’re going to start doing some testing. If you see a name above somebody’s skin, this guy is a human. If you don’t see a name above someone’s head, they are a robot. That is 100 percent confirmed.” This trick allows you to see – once you have zoomed out, of course – just how many bots are starting up in each game. It will give you a greater idea of the proportion between people playing and robots. Using the technique, Ali-A found that those proportions are actually quite random. For example, one match he had a significant amount of bots included, while the second test in a solos match involved no bots at all. Then, once he had selected an account that he hasn’t played on as much as his main, the YouTuber noticed that the number of bots being matched with him was significantly higher – which suggests that the more you play, the fewer robots you’re going to see appear in your games. He wouldn’t have even known that without this handy trick!

Ali-A tests possibility to win in Fortnite with hidden treasure weapons YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken tested the limits of Fortnite’s hidden treasure loot to see if it was possible to win out using only the contents inside the buried findings. At the turn of Chapter 2, Epic Games introduced a swarm of new mechanics like diving, fishing, and more. While buried treasure was first brought in Season 8 along with Treasure Maps, Season 2’s version makes the hidden loot much more accessible to passersby. Always looking to test the limits of the game, Ali-A put the hidden treasure’s RNG to the test by solely relying on its contents to win out in a Fortnite match. It’s easy to drop into Sweaty Sands to pick out the mounds of sand indicating there’s loot to be found. What isn’t ideal is limiting your gameplay to only what you find in those chests since they can be pretty lacking. In the YouTuber’s first attempt, their initial haul was decent; finding a green Burst Assault Rifle, and an RPG later on. The challenge proved to have its fair share of temptations since his first bits of loot weren’t inspiring, and with every fight he won, he had to resist the urge of picking up the fallen’s loot since “it was against the rules.” While a few buried treasures wouldn’t yield that much reward, Ali-A made do with an Assault Rifle and Pistol with whatever heals he could find in the game. It was impressive to see the British YouTuber stick with the two mediocre weapons even in the heat of the battle. Swapping between looked a bit awkward especially when he started to come across build-heavy competition. That’s when Ali showed off his prowess as a Fortnite builder, fighting to get the high ground while taking down other players’ mats as soon as they placed them. The final skirmish was definitely the most nerve-wracking since it came down to a close-range 1v1; Ali-A’s Assault Rifle against the other foe’s Shotgun. But the YouTuber held his nerve, and was actually able to take the meager loot from Fortnite’s hidden treasure and earn a Victory Royale screen.

Ali-A shares bold prediction on Fortnite Season 6 theme & skins Ali-A/Epic GamesFortnite YouTuber Alastair “Ali-A” Aiken has some bold predictions for what we’ll see happen in Season 6, which is right around the corner. By now every Fortnite player is looking forward to the end of the current Season 5 and the beginning of Season 6, which starts on March 16, 2021. As usual Epic has done a fairly decent job when it comes to keeping the big upcoming new content under wraps, and keeping players guessing at what’s coming next throughout the season. Ali-A thinks he’s cracked the code for Season 6 however, and it all has to do with a brand new Fortnite/DC comic crossover, which we’ve known about for awhile already. Comic books have been part of my life since… forever. A driving force of inspiration for all things I’ve created. Never did I imagine having a chance to work on a Batman book – let alone write and draw on one. So grateful to Fortnite, Epic, and DC for this dream come true! pic.twitter.com/LLCwmUmrK2 — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) March 7, 2021 Basically, the comic called “Batman Fortnite Zero Point” will follow the Dark Knight as he gets drawn into the Fortnite universe, and at the same time give us a bunch of lore details that haven’t made it to the surface just yet. Each issue of the comic, which will be released throughout Season 6, will also come with its own codes for downloadable items and skin unlocks in Fortnite. “[The comic] will explain a huge amount about Fortnite, but just Batman and DC I don’t think will be the only focus for the next season,” Ali explained. “Potentially a lot more crossover skins. The only information we know about Season 6 at the moment the Batman aspect of it.” We already saw a big Batman crossover during Season X with a skin for the Caped Crusader, Catwoman, and other cosmetics and items, so it will be interesting to see what kind of new stuff we get this time around. Ali-A also mentions that the Fishstick, Bandolier, and other skins from the past, including the ultra-rare Renegade Ranger, that could be returning too. But he warns, and we have to agree with him on this, that if you’re looking to grab the super-rare Season 1 skin you shouldn’t get your hopes too high. The first Season 6 comic code skin has already been revealed — the “DC Rebirth Harley Quinn” skin that looks different than the one before. Not to be outdone, Ali-A claims if you collect all six comics when they come out, you’ll also get an exclusive armored Batman Zero skin. While Batman will be a central theme in Season 6, the YouTuber believes it should be “another big collaboration season,” like 5, with even more characters from different universes being drawn in. Good news for those of you hoping for a Family Guy Fortnite crossover, as this means it could definitely still happen.

Ali-A & SypherPK steal the show in Lachlan’s $10,000 Fortnite fashion final YouTube: Ali-A/Epic GamesAfter baiting Lachlan into giving them a spot in his Fortnite Fashion Show finals, Ali-A and SypherPK teamed back up and took their routine to a whole new level to bag themselves the top prize in the $10,000 event. With Fortnite Chapter 2 lacking in updates and new content from Epic Games, YouTubers and streamers have come up with the idea of fashion shows. As the name suggests, these content creators give fellow players and fans the chance to show off their Fortnite cosmetics in a chance to claim bragging rights. Perhaps the biggest to date has come from Australian YouTuber Lachlan as he ran a $10,000 fashion show that even had qualifiers. One team of qualifiers, Ali-A and SypherPK, managed to make the grand finals in surprising fashion but they took things a little bit more seriously when the big money was on the line. Recapping his and Sypher’s glory, Ali-A uploaded a highlight video of the event – showing off some behind-the-scenes footage of the pair coming up with their routines in order to win. Going back and forth between the rounds, the eventual winning duo told a story using their skins, emotes, and even in-game items – keeping the spooky theme from their qualifying entry that saw Ali-A turned into a witch and back again. In the end, even though they’d taken the lead for a few rounds, the pair had to go all-in in a head-to-head decider with another team. Keeping with the theme that got them there, they told another story about a witch and her jelly monster sidekick – blowing away the judges and the competition. Even though he and Sypher took home the top prize, Ali-A revealed that he wouldn’t be keeping it for himself – deciding to split it between the other finalists as he “never entered for the money.” However, he and his partner will always have bragging rights, especially as they didn’t put all that much preparation in before the show got underway. What will they do next? Will they defend their crown? Only time will tell.

Ali-A reveals where to find Fortnite Season 2’s rare Rapid Fire SMG Instagram: Ali-A/Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Ali-A has revealed how Fortnite players can get their hands on the rare Rapid Fire SMG in Chapter 2 by heading to one of the brand-new map locations. After weeks of waiting and much speculation from fans, Epic Games finally dropped the V12.00 update that signaled the start of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 on February 20. The change, which gave the game a ‘Top Secret’ theme, added new locations, new weapons, and plenty of fresh cosmetics. The main location and weapon changes come thanks to the addition of The Agency, The Shark, The Rig, The Yacht, and The Grotto – as well as their respective new bosses. Defeating these bosses and searching the spots will grant you with powerful weapons to wield, yet, there are another few secret weapons laying around. After receiving a tip from a fan, Ali-A revealed that the Rapid Fire SMG and Heavy Sniper Rifle can be found by ignoring the main new locations and heading to the new mini bases that are scattered around the map. Heading to these houses will see you come up against the Shadow and Ghost henchmen but by defeating them, you will get access to upgraded loot. Keeping one of them alive at each location though, will allow you to open one of the new caches. Though, if you’re just after the Rapid Fire SMG and Heavy Sniper Rifle – which Ali-A claimed is pretty overpowered – just follow our step-by-step guide. Head to Shadow Safehouse – Charlie above Craggy Cliffs – Defeat the Shadow Henchmen but keep one alive – Carry them to the basement – Use them to scan the weapon cache – According to the YouTuber, heading to the Shadow Safehouse – Charlie, which sits above Craggy Cliffs, will give you a “one hundred percent” of grabbing the second weapons based on his research. Heading to the other spots, though, could very well reward you with other weapons. It is all a case of trying them out and seeing what comes from them. Though, expect the drops to be hot if they’re withholding powerful, secret weapons.

Ali-A reveals what “sucks” about Fortnite iOS situation Turtle Beach/Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Ali-A has discussed why the Fortnite vs Apple situation “sucks” for iOS users, but why it won’t be the end of the battle royale on mobiles. Epic Games has become locked in a legal battle with both Apple and Google over Fortnite after the battle royale devs made it possible for players to buy V-Bucks in-game for a cheaper price than going through the normal app store steps. Since then, the uber-popular title has been taken down off both the Apple App Store and Google Plays store, meaning that new players can’t download it and updates are tough to push out. Even though it’s not completely terrible news for Android owners as they can use different stores and ways to download updates, it’s pretty bad for Apple users. So much so that Ali-A admits it “sucks” for the latter group. In his latest video, the popular YouTuber dissected the ongoing situation for Fortnite mobile players. He noted that Epic have already committed to keeping Fortnite alive on Apple in its Season 3 state, but beyond that, nothing is changing. “It could honestly be, worst-case scenario here, months and months before Fortnite returns to normality on Apple devices,” the YouTuber added. “I hate to say it, but that is the biggest reality.” Ali further noted that once Chapter 2, Season 4 starts to roll out, Android users will be able to head to Epic’s website and find out where they can download the new update. “It’s literally just the iOS players who are going to be left behind,” he said. Obviously, Epic and Apple could end their dispute at any point, but given that Epic CEO Tim Sweeney went after the hardware giants in a Tweet thread, that might not happen anytime soon. So, as Ali-A notes, it does “suck” that it’s looking unlikely that iOS players will be unable to play Season 4, but it isn’t a complete death knell for Fortnite on mobile devices.

Ali-A reveals what’s inside all Fortnite Winterfest epic presents YouTube: Ali-A, Epic GamesFortnite Winterfest has arrived, with plenty of presents to unwrap along the way. YouTuber Ali-A has got his hands on all of the festive delights, revealing what treats are up for grabs. Introduced in December 2019, Winterfest is a brilliant time for Fortnite players. Dropping 14 free presents, these can range from fantastical emotes to stylish new gliders. However, you may be wondering exactly what is underneath the cheery wrapping of Epic Games’ free gifts. If you’re after a specific treat this Christmas, Ali-A has unwrapped every present available in the game. Ali-A reveals exciting Fortnite additions There is no shortage of content this Christmas in Fortnite, with Spider-Man: No Way Home additions also increasing the fun. To get the Holidays off with a bang, Ali-A began to rattle through each present within the Winter Lodge. Thanks to the contributors over at Ali-A’s Discord server, the YouTuber was able to preview every present available over the Christmas period. Notably, Epic Games rolled out their first taste of The Matrix Resurrections-themed content pack, with a Sentinel glider. Christmas weapons wraps such as the ‘Twinkly’ and ‘Woolly’ variants will no doubt please players looking to add some vibrancy to their arsenal. “This year, you want to be looking out for the color of the present and the design on it,” Ali-A advised his viewers. Since many of the gifts tend to look similar to one another, it can be confusing to find the exact one you require. However, if you look closer, you’ll be able to see different pattern designs, that will help to differentiate the repetitive color schemes. Fortnite Winterfest will run up to January 6, 2022, so there is plenty of time to check-in and claim your gifts.

Ali-A reveals what happens when you reach Star Destroyer in Fortnite A new Star Wars-themed crossover in Fortnite Chapter 2 celebrates the release of the new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game and it has more to offer than just a free Imperial Stormtrooper skin. Any player who purchases Jedi: Fallen Order from the Epic Games store will automatically receive a free Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite as well. Along with the new skin if players take a moment to look up during the event, they’ll see a Star Destroyer orbiting menacingly above the map. Some players think the ship will move closer to the map in coming days to trigger some kind of in-game event, but in the meantime, others have decided to see what happens when you get to the ship itself. How do you even get to the Star Destroyer in Fortnite? It’s certainly not possible to reach the ship during a regular Fortnite match and it doesn’t seem to do anything more than float in the sky the entire time. But, Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A proved it is possible to visit the ship in the sky above the island by using the game’s Creative mode in his November 15 video. Timestamp at 4:40 for mobile users. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little to the craft once you get up there, as Ali-A simply clips through the ship with nothing interesting popping up. That doesn’t necessarily rule out the possibility there’s more to come with the Star Destroyer and the Star Wars event, but it seems the current version is most likely just decoration. Some players feel that Chapter 2 has been lacking in any exciting gameplay additions or new stuff in general, so hopefully, there’ll be more to come from this Star Wars crossover. Epic has given no time frame for how long the Star Wars promotion will be around, or how long the Stormtrooper skin will be available in stores either. Jedi: Fallen Order has been well-received initially it seems though, which could play into how long the crossover event goes on for. The Stormtrooper skin is still available in the in-game shop for 1,500 V-Bucks or “free” along with Jedi: Fallen Order at the time of writing, and the Star Destroyer remains in the sky, for now.

Ali-A reveals teasers for future Fortnite Season 5 crossovers & skins Ali-A / Epic GamesFortnite streamer Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has shared some juicy teasers of what players can expect from the future of Season 5, and it looks like we’re getting even more iconic crossovers. Fans initially thought that skins and weapons based on The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda would be the biggest crossover of Fortnite Season 5, but then along came God of War’s Kratos and rumors of an appearance from Halo’s Master Chief. Epic Games promised to bring “even more hunters from the realities beyond” to Fortnite Season 5 following The Mandalorian’s debut, and they’ve now given us teasers of who they could be with a mystery gift box sent to popular streamer Ali-A. The package arrived in a real-life version of Jonesy’s backpack – which the character lost after entering the Zero Point in the Season 5 trailer – and included a number of seemingly-random items that actually hint at future bounty hunters. “He loses his backpack, and where has it ended up? It’s ended up at my house,” explained Ali-A. “The world of Fortnite and real-life are combining yet again, starting to merge in some weird joint reality. So we need to open this thing, up and see what Agent Jonesy was storing in his bag.” Fortnite Season 5 crossover skins teasers The bag contains 18 items in total, all of which are linked to future bounty hunters. It’s assumed that these will be skins and other cosmetics that the player can either purchase or unlock as Season 5 progresses. You can see the list of items, as well as the characters they could be hinting at with a little help from Reddit sleuths, below: Cup: Fans believe this is a clue towards Baby Yoda, who was already revealed as a back bling for The Mandalorian. – Sunglasses: This could be in reference to The Terminator or a character from Men In Black. – Hand Wraps: This is likely pointing towards a fighter of some sort. Potentially something from Street Fighter? Or maybe The Rock – he did recently hint at a skin in the game. – Shark Tooth Necklace: Probably a reference to Mave, who has a shark style that changes her legs to a fin when she swims. – Golden Backscratcher: This could be a reference to the Midas Touch, hinting at a Female Midas skin. – Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: It seems pretty obvious that this is pointing to Reese. – Space Bananas: It’s a loose link, but this could be hinting at Metroid’s outer-space bounty hunter Samus Aran, who is already heavily-speculated to join the game. – Cherry Blossom Tea: This one is linked to Kondor. – Ant Farm: Could we be in for another Marvel character with the arrival of Ant-Man? – Pink Wig: This one is a hint at Lexa, the anime-style character who’s proven a hit with fans. – Red and Blue Jelly Beans: This could be a reference to The Matrix’s red and blue pill scene. There is a fourth movie coming out in 2021, so the timing would make sense. – Red Face Paint: This could be a reference to Kratos, who was recently added to the game. He has red markings across his body. – Helmet: This is another new Fortnite Season 5 character, Menace. – Rations: These could hint at a number of characters, but potentially Halo’s Master Chief or Metal Gear Solid’s Snake. – Mud Mask: This could be a hint at Predator, as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character covers himself in mud to disguise his body heat in the movies. – Maple Syrup: This one’s clearly Mancake, an NPC and skin players have already seen. – Gold Coins: This could be a hint at The Witcher, or it could be Uncharted’s Nathan Drake. – Baseball Bat: Some fans believe this could be Scout from Team Fortress 2. – Many of these are just speculation for now, but we’ll find out which characters each item hints at as Fortnite gets deeper into Season 5. The Predator seems like a definite shout, as there have been hints at a crossover popping up throughout the game already. We also know that there will be more video game icons coming soon. After the addition of Kratos, a new cosmetics category called the Gaming Legends Series was created, with rumors of a Master Chief skin being the next to join.

Ali-A reveals unreleased Fortnite skin haunting Weeping Woods Ali-A/Epic GamesPopular Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A has shown that the previously leaked Madcap skin looks to be coming soon as a mobile glitch has revealed a strange character ‘haunting’ Weeping Woods. [jwplayer so0eN9Pk] Across the different Fortnite seasons and updates, Epic Games have released a vast amount of cosmetics – with fans picking out their favorites and donning them in-game. Typically, these skins are leaked ahead of time as leakers are able to decrypt games files that are added to the mix with each new update and patch. Some of these skins never see the light of day, or are held back for quite a while, despite being leaked following a patch. One of the skins that falls into this category is the Madcap – a glowing, purple, Mushroom-themed skin. It was leaked quite a while back, and while it hasn’t been available just yet, it looks like it will be pretty soon. Popular YouTuber Ali-A pointed out that some Fortnite mobile players on Android had spotted the outline of a skin sitting around in Weeping Woods. The character that seems to be ‘haunting’ the POI, is stood under a tree with their arms crossed. However, it’s not colorful. Instead, it’s a blacked-out silhouette – almost as if it’s going to be added soon, but is showing up as a visual glitch in-game. Ali-A noted that the character is most definitely Madcap because of the shape of the head, and given that he’s hanging around Weeping Woods, there might be a challenge or quest line involved with unlocking the skin. Timestamp of 3:48 Even though the YouTuber’s speculation seems pretty spot on, there’s no telling if he’s right just yet because Epic Games hasn’t announced anything. It could very well be that, as Fortnitemares unfolds, the skin will finally be available through the item shop and there are also challenges in Weeping Woods to unlock skin styles. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Ali-A reveals secret Fortnite “pets” coming soon Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has revealed that secret in-game “pets” could be on their way to Fortnite following the latest map changes. Epic Games are known for introducing plenty of new features and items to keep Fornite fresh since the battle royale’s initial release in 2017. The Fortnite developers are now seemingly looking to add some in-game pet mushrooms, which can be found around the map, after the feature was initially teased at the end of Chapter 2, Season 2. Ali-A explained, in his latest video, that the July 28 map changes revealed new mushrooms that had been hidden underwater and claimed that they could be transformed into pets. “The biggest thing I’m seeing almost no one talk about is a big secret that’s being revealed in wailing woods,” he added, “at the end of last, Chapter 2, Season 2 for just a few hours, Fortnite added in a brand new thing, people like to call it a pet.” “You’ve got to awaken it by dancing near it. It will then come to life basically and then you’ve got to feed it 100 wood and it’ll become your pet mushroom,” the YouTuber continued. Topic starts at 7:37 He explained these pet mushrooms also have their uses, later revealing footage of when they were briefly tested in-game and shared that they could help restore your shields. “This thing will then go ahead and start following you around, as you can see by his shield, boosting you up two shields a second, this thing is honestly pretty OP,” he admitted, sharing a look at the mushroom. However, the “pets” can also be reset if they receive enough damage, go into the water, or if your character gets out of range, forcing you to reactivate them for more shields. The unusual pet mushrooms can be found all around the Weeping Woods POI, with quite a few spawning near Deadpool’s old hut from Season 2, although you are currently unable to interact with them. As of now, it is unclear when they will fully arrive in Fortnite but Ali-A has claimed that they could be arriving in one of the next map changes or “silent updates” in the coming weeks.

Ali-A reveals ‘secret’ new Fortnite POI hint following V13.40 patch Instagram: Ali-A/Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Ali-A has revealed a few secrets that have popped up in Fortnite following the V13.40 patch – and hints for a new POI could be right under our noses. With the launch of the v13.40 patch, Fortnite fans finally got to get behind the wheel of cars. The vehicles, which had been long rumored and sought after by players across the globe, have added a different way for you to traverse the map and cause havoc. As you’d expect, with any patch, leakers were also able to get their hands on details about things coming further down the line – with cosmetics and the ‘Hightower’ event being the most interesting finds. However, there are a few things that are currently in-game that have also gone unnoticed to the majority of players who don’t really travel around and look for secrets. These interesting and secretive additions were pointed out by Ali-A, with two of the main ones centering around the Coral Buddies that have appeared in the northern part of the map. The first secret relates to a potential new POI. As the YouTuber points out, the slimes have got themselves a few new buildings to play with but it does resemble we’ve already seen. In fact, from one angle, it looks as if its the buildings used in the trailer for the cars. On top of that, there is also a new Coral Buddies challenge coming. Some players saw it in-game early, but, their newest step is into the ‘Nuclear Age’. Once live, the mission will task you with finding a small can with the nuclear symbol on so that you can trigger a launch. As well as the Coral Buddies, the location of the Ancient Astronaut’s ship is also set to change. The YouTuber noted that, currently, in replay mode, there is a spot behind Misty Meadows that shows the ship landed there and it looks intentional. What it all means very much remains to be seen, but the astronaut may link to the Hightower event that has grasped the attention of fans. We’ll just have to wait and see one way or another.

Ali-A reveals “secret change” from Fortnite 12.60 update BookTrust YouTube / Epic GamesAlastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken took a closer look at Fortnite after the v12.60 update to see what changes Epic Games made that weren’t revealed in the patch notes – which could give clues to what the Agency is up to. As Season 2 for the second chapter winds down, there’s still a lot of mystery revolving around Midas and the crew that makes up the Agency. With a live event still in the cards for the current era in the battle royale, players are waiting to see what the devs have been planning for the closing spectacle of the season. Though Ali-A thinks that might not be too far from now, seeing as Season 3 is scheduled to start June 4, making it the perfect time for Epic to begin the in-game teasers. Running through the Fortnite map, Ali-A noticed that The Agency now has a cloud ring forming high above the building surrounded by water. The secluded nature of the standalone facility makes it the perfect location for a major story live event, which has all but been confirmed to be centralized near the secret hideout. Timestamp at 9:26 for mobile viewers Ali-A is aware that the last Saturday before the new season typically has major implications for that season’s in-game festivities. With May 30 right around the corner, Ali-A expects Epic to introduce a steady flow of easter eggs or clues around the Fortnite map that could give more insight into what the Agency is plotting and how it relates to the overarching story of the game. Recent leaks have hinted at major map changes that could be coming to the Agency once the story starts to kick off. That’s not even including the Doomsday Device that will reportedly play a huge part in the story as well as a leaked mysterious countdown that will appear over the Agency’s building at some point. There’s still a ton of questions surrounding the upcoming finale for the Fortnite season, but players like Ali-A and more are staying on their toes in case Epic decides to sneak another clue before the premiere of the live event.

Ali-A reveals potential fishing changes in Fortnite Coral Castle update Epic Games[jwplayer 1IFYfpxn]YouTube star Ali-A has highlighted a few things that might not be too apparent to Fortnite players following the addition of the new Coral Castle POI. Over the course of Chapter 2, Season 3, Epic Games have been making subtle changes to the Fortnite map by lowering the water. Popular landing spots like Risky Reels, Dirty Docks, and Slurpy Swamp are all pretty much back to normal, but they’ve also added a brand new location. Coral Castle was added on August 1, taking up the spot where the giant Whirlpool had sat. Leaks pointed to this being Atlantis, but it doesn’t quite bear the same resemblance to Aquaman’s home from the comics or movies. Though, the new location might just contain a few subtle hints for new updates that could be released further down the line. Popular Fortnite content creator Ali-A pointed out that the location has a giant gold flopper statue on the balcony of one of the small buildings. But, that’s not all. There are also fish sat in fishbowl small plinths dotted around the different buildings. You can destroy the small plinths, but you won’t get a flopper or any other loot for it. Though, that could come later down the line. The YouTuber notes that there are apparently new fish, as well as a fishing book to keep a log of your catches, coming in the future. His theory points to these small fish being set free in the future and becoming catchable. Outside of that theory, he also noted that if you complete the spaceship challenges behind Craggy Cliffs, you will be able to use rifts. That’s right, rifts are back – if only in a small way. Now, there’s no real way of telling whether or not Epic will release the fish or the rifts on a wider scale, but the theory is plausible. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Ali-A reveals potential new weapons in Fortnite Season 2 YouTube: Ali-A/Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Ali-A has seemingly uncovered some plans for new weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 – as some of the new bosses appear to be constructing guns of their own. After Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 1 dragged on to become the longest season in the history of the battle royale, players were finally given the Chapter 2, Season 2 update on February 20. The Top Secret theme of the new season has dropped an army of henchmen and five bosses on new locations within map – as well as expanding the small loot pool for the new season. However, it appears as if that loot pool could be growing a little further, as Ali-A appears to have stumbled on to plans for new weapons. In his March 8 upload, the popular YouTuber noted that there have already been some weapons leaked within the game files that haven’t been released – most notably, some sort of electric gun. Seeing the phrase electric gun might spark fears of a return for the Zappatron but before we get there, Ali-A noted that some weapons are appearing under the collective nose of players. To be exact, if you head to the Challenge Table and look around the secret bases at your agents, there are weapons on the wall behind them. Most of these are in-game already but a few, including the Hand Cannon, are not – with the YouTuber summarising that they could appear later. Segment begins at 1:00 for mobile viewers Heading into an actual game, Ali-A revealed that players who head to The Rig and snoop around TNTina’s rooms will note that there weapons of some kind being built. This is because there are blueprints on the wall and parts scattered around on tables. Of course, Epic Games have teased players with in-game easter eggs before so it wouldn’t be all that much of a stretch to consider what is going here as a possible hint towards new weapons. Whether or not that will be the case, though, remains to be seen as there hasn’t been any confirmation that these weapons are being built. The next Fortnite update does not currently have a confirmed date, though players will see legacy aim assist removed from the game on March 13.

Ali-A reveals missing features in Fortnite Chapter 2’s final update Epic Games / Ali-A YouTubeThe last Fortnite Chapter 2 patch has come and gone, much to the disappointment of YouTube star Ali-A, who noticed promised features were excluded from the update. As we look ahead to The End event on December 4, Epic Games are going down memory lane on social media with plans to also give the current season a proper send-off with items from the VS voting series. But popular Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A realized this, and other teased features, aren’t going to be coming to the BR on time since The End is nigh. “According to the in-game files,” Ali-A began. “At least it was planned, initially, from Fortnite [that] we were going to get all of the things that didn’t make it and lost the vote, returning in-game for the final week this season. “Well the final season update is here and, unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. Which is really annoying. It doesn’t look like it is going to happen.” Though Epic are likely planning sweeping changes to Fortnite, Ali-A was bummed out that players will have to wait for some of the things he thought were coming soon. He named the Combat SMG as an example, which lost to the Combat Assault Rifle in the mid-October vote ahead of the v18.20 patch update that week. Before Chapter 3 takes over, Fortnite’s in-game files also suggested players would be able to ride animals in some fashion. But Ali-A noticed that too was going to be missed since the final update of the season didn’t include it. Ever the optimist, the English YouTuber is instead looking forward to the new era of Fortnite to see if those features will be implemented then or if the ideas got scrapped altogether.

Ali-A reveals how Fortnite clues may hint at upcoming Mythic abilities Epic GamesFortnite YouTuber Ali-A has suspicions that Epic Games could be hiding the next Mythic abilities and weapons in plain sight using splash art for Marvel heroes in the battle royale. [jwplayer y5OnwS0O] So far, newer characters like Ghost Rider and Daredevil have appeared in special Marvel Knockout Super Series Cups to unlock the characters. But Ali-A noticed the distinct imagery that filled the void behind the heroes. Now some of these will look familiar to Fortnite players seeing as the Mythic ability they correspond to have already been integrated within the game. However it could be that Epic are giving fans a quick teaser of upcoming signature weapons. “We’ve had Fireballs, we’ve had Claws,” Ali-A explained. “We’ve had loads of icons that are shown in the background, yet they just haven’t appearing [in Fortnite].” The Fortnite x Marvel collaboration has been building up to Galactus and the inevitable end of the Nexus War event, meaning the adventure with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and friends isn’t going away just yet. This means that a number of skins, abilities, and even characters could yet to even make their presence known on the Fortnite island, seeing as Galactus would need an army of heroes to effectively meet the threat. “The fact they’re using these Mythic icons on their official Fortnite imagery makes me think these definitely have to come out. And it’s a good sign that more Mythic abilities, weapons and potential Bosses are coming to the Fortnite map,” Ali-A said. As far as the YouTuber is concerned, Epic has been feeding these small clues for anyone that cares to pay attention – especially since they can have major implications for incoming content. For example, there have been leaks in the past few weeks that suggest an updated model for Black Widow will be coming to Fortnite. The first Marvel hero in Fortnite, the heroine is expected to get another skin, and possibly Mythic weapon, for her upcoming ‘Black Widow’ Marvel movie. Epic Games have loads of different avenues to explore until the end of the Nexus War, which could introduce more Marvel heroes into Fortnite.

Ali-A reveals how to use unreleased Assault Rifle in Fortnite Popular Fortnite YouTuber Alistair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken shows players how to get an early look at an unreleased version of the ‘Heavy Assault Rifle’ in Chapter 2. Epic Games are known for making many changes to the Fortnite world to keep players entertained with fresh content. Among many of their changes were their plans to revamp two of the battle royale’s Assault Rifles in Chapter 2, which was leaked by data miners on November 20. The revamped ‘Heavy Assault Rifle’ is the first of the two weapons that were expected to hit live servers and Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A has managed to test out the gun, despite it never making it to the game (yet). The popular content creator explained that the revamped weapon had been added to game files and was available to be tested in Creative mode. “A month ago or so Fortnite added into the game an unreleased weapon, which is basically a re-skin of a weapon we already had, except it had been changed slightly,” he shared, before explaining how fans could get their hands on it. Topic starts at 7:25 for mobile users. “It turned out if you had that original weapon in your creative mode you could actually bring it back into the map and use it now unreleased,” the Fortnite YouTuber expressed, before trying the rifle out for himself. Ali-A began to test out some of the differences between the Heavy Assault Rifle and its counterparts, highlighting the changes that were made to the previous iteration of the gun. As well as being re-skinned with a new look, Epic Games also made adjustments to the Assault Rifle’s bloom, reload time and damage. It is unclear when the Rifle is expected to be released on live servers, although it is likely that both the Epic and Legendary versions of the rifle should be available to players in a future update.

Ali-A reveals his secret Fortnite Chapter 2 controller settings YouTube star Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has finally given fans a glimpse of his secret Call of Duty, Pokemon, and other tip-related content in the past. With Ali-A picking up Victory Royales on a regular basis since the beginning for Fortnite Chapter 2, many fans might have been wondering what he’s doing to achieve that success. We all have access to the same weapon list, but settings can make a real difference to how the game plays. Here’s a look at some of Ali-A’s Fortnite settings. Finally, the 25-year-old has revealed his “secret” Fortnite settings and button layout for all to see, explaining some of the positive impacts felt after making some subtle changes. He said: “Yes, I’m using the new settings and there are a few features in here that I really like. Actually, the boost mode is one of them – something I didn’t think I’d like. Essentially, when either of your thumb sticks hit the edge of your controller, all the way at maximum press, it basically initiates a boost.” This feature, which can be seen as turning horizontal and vertical boost in the menus, temporarily boosts his sensitivity to allow him to build faster in certain situations. He has this set to 16 percent. While there are a ton of different controllers out there to choose from, he shows fans that he uses a Scuf pad during the video. For those who aren’t aware, these controllers are pro-level pieces of kit with additional buttons for extra customization. “My ADS is really low,” he explained. “I don’t have any boost on that because it will just throw your aim off massively and I use the exponential curve, which means for again the subtle movements in the middle of the control stick, I can be really accurate.” Here are some of the controller settings Ali-A uses in Fortnite Chapter 2. As he plays on his PlayStation 4 console, Ali-A does make the most of his touchpad at the top, using it to interact, pick up and confirm. His video shows a number of other techniques that he uses, including edit, building and other control options. Whether or not his fans will jump right into the battle royale game and make changes, based on his settings, remains to be seen – but there are definitely a few handy tricks included.

Ali-A reveals “hidden” Fortnite weapons ahead of Season 3 Ali-A, YouTube / Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has shared some hidden weapons that might be on their way to Fortnite in Season 3. Season 3 has been long-awaited by Fortnite fans and after the season was confirmed to be delayed by Epic Games, it left many players wondering about what could be added next to the popular battle royale title. Following on from that, though, it was confirmed that June 11 would be the day everything new kicks into action. While little is known about what will happen following the upcoming Doomsday Event, Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A has suggested that some new secret weapons have been hidden right under our noses all along. Fortnite has not had too many new weapons added recently and Ali-A explained that some of the upcoming weapons might have already been hidden within the game. “Throughout Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2, hidden weapons have been within the game right in front of our eyes, however, they haven’t been easy to access,” he revealed. The YouTube star claimed that some of the weapons within Fortnite’s new Spy Games playlist, which are given their own unique abilities, could soon be added to the standard battle royale modes soon as well. Here, players can choose different settings and options for various guns – making their own versions of what’s already available. He explained how the new weapons worked and that they even have their own abilities in-game. “At the start of each game you’ll be given a weapon and assigned to that weapon will be a random ability as well,” he said. The weapons can be equipped with passive abilities such as Air Raid, allowing you to deal more damage in the air and provide you with new ways to gain the edge over your opponent. “As you start ranking these up, you can start to link together specific weapons with specific abilities to create weapon types and weapon unlocks that aren’t available anywhere else in the game,” he continued. The YouTuber also pointed out that weapons such as the unreleased ‘Legendary scoped AR’ were also featured in this playlist and claimed that it could be a teaser for what’s to come in Season 3. “The cool thing is a lot of these weapons are being tested out right now,” Ali-A explained, “potentially they’re going to be released properly into the rest of the game with the next Fortnite season, except we’re getting an early look.” As of now, Epic Games has not revealed many details on what players can expect in Season 3, or if these weapons might be added, although with the new season releasing soon on June 11, it is likely that they will let fans find out for themselves. However, if you do want to try out some of these unique guns and their abilities just incase, they are available in different operations which can be found within the Spy Games tab in Fortnite’s lobby. Maybe he’s onto something.

Ali-A reveals hidden Vending Machines ahead of possible Fortnite return Ali-A, YouTube / Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Alistair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has revealed hidden Fortnite Vending Machines under the map, hinting that they could finally make their return in Season 3. [jwplayer ibznrzc6]Fortnite offers plenty of choice when it comes to selecting the right weapons and gear in the early game, with more items constantly being added, such as the new Charge shotgun and Flare Guns that have been introduced in Season 3. Currently, most of the in-game loot can only be found on the ground or in chests, though Epic has previously introduced Vending Machines where players could choose between the items they needed the most. Vending Machines were first added to Fortnite in Chapter 1, Season 3 and would spawn at random points around the map, allowing players to swap out a portion of their materials for weapons or a consumable. They were removed following the battle royale’s massive ‘The End’ event, which kicked off the second Fortnite Chapter, but YouTuber Ali-A claims that the Vending Machines might soon return after uncovering some hidden under the map. During his July 1 upload, Ali-A revealed some of the “hidden secrets” that Epic Games has left in following the latest updates and shared a short clip of one of these machines underwater. Topic starts at 9:15 “These things have been found under the map, I believe in The Shark and several other locations since the start of this season,” he explained. He followed up adding that other players have also seen the Vending Machines glitch onto the map at long distances or during Fortnite’s replay mode in Chapter 2. Ali-A also claimed that. with all these clues, it is possible that they could finally return in Season 3, “I’m sure they must be ready to finally come this season because they’ve just been sitting there, waiting to drop them, and vending machines have been gone for ages now.” However, Epic Games has yet to confirm whether or not they intend on adding the popular feature back, meaning that Fortnite fans will have to wait a little longer to find out for themselves.

Ali-A reveals another ‘invincibility’ glitch in Fortnite Chapter 2 Ali-A, Instagram / Epic GamesAlastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has uncovered numerous glitches in Fortnite Battle Royale, everything from useful to the irritating, and now he’s came across another one that allows players to take no fall damage whatsoever. Those who follow the popular YouTuber, or even Twitch streamers NICKMERCS and SypherPK, might have heard about some of these invincibility glitches in the past – with a previous bug allowing players to run through a bush first before taking zero damage from high falls. However, another has surfaced. It might be a bit more difficult to execute, though, and that’s just one of many things Ali-A explained in his December 7 upload to YouTube. This time, all you need is to track down a zipline and a perfectly located river – very random, but there’s an explanation coming, don’t worry about that. Gather as many materials as you can by breaking things nearby, the video suggests around 2,000 for testing, and head over to the zipline. Ali-A uses one between Slurpy Swamp and Weeping Woods in this demonstration, but it can be any that crosses a river. Exit the zipline and land directly into the water, swimming from side-to-side for a few moments. Just like the previous glitch involving the large bushes, jumping will force the effect to wear off so do avoid doing that. Timestamp in the video below at 7:30. “This one is actually a lot cooler because you can see the effect on your character,” Ali-A said as his character’s body glowed with a blue outline, a clear indicator that the exploit has worked. After taking those steps, build as high as you can and let the glitch do the rest – you won’t be eliminated from fall damage the first time you drop. Other players around you might not be as co-operative during this process as you might like, so do watch out for enemies approaching your location while giving it a try. The worst way to debut this tactic would be to be eliminated without seeing how useful it can be. It’s unclear as to whether or not Epic Games are aware of this particular problem, but have confirmed that they’re investigating an issue regarding players dying from fall damage when leaping from a zipline to the water – according to their official Fortnite Trello board. Well, that would throw a spanner into the works for those trying to use this exploit. Not just that, though, but Epic could also dish out some punishments as well. It’s probably best to err on the side of caution if you’re considering giving it a go.

Ali-A reveals “cheat” to get Legendary MK-Seven in Fortnite Season 2 Fortnite content creator Ali-A revealed a simple “cheat” to get his hands on the removed Legendary MK-Seven assault rifle during Season 2. Fortnite Chapter 3 introduced one of the best weapons to ever grace the battle royale: the MK-Seven assault rifle. The rifle featured Fortnite’s first-ever red dot sight and ignored the game’s controversial bloom mechanic. However, at the start of Season 2, players were disappointed to realize the MK-Seven wasn’t in the game. While it didn’t spawn as floor loot or in chests, dataminers discovered it hadn’t been vaulted either. In fact, the rifle could still be found in-game but only by very few players. In a recent video, Ali-A shows how to find the “cheaty” weapon. Ali-A “cheats” to use removed MK-Seven assault rifle In his video, Ali-A shows players that some items stored in tents during Season 1 were still there in Season 2. For example, the MK-Seven of any rarity could be withdrawn if stored during Season 1, but the Spider-Man Web-Shooters were removed. Luckily, Ali-A stored a Legendary MK-Seven in his tent before the end of Season 1. However, he’d only have one chance to use it before he’d have to store it in the tent again. If he was eliminated, he would lose the gun forever. The YouTuber isn’t fully wrong when he says he is “cheating” by using the gun, as it isn’t meant to be in the game. This is likely because it would have been ridiculously overpowered in the Zero Build modes. That being said, the MK-Seven received a recent nerf significantly reducing its damage. Ali-A went on to place second with six eliminations, but was able to store his MK in a tent before he was eliminated. If you don’t have an MK-Seven in your tent, don’t worry. Fortnite is running a limited-time event from April 2-4 where both the MK-Seven and Combat Assault Rifle will be available. After which, players can vote using gold bars on which weapon they want in Fortnite permanently. For more Fortnite, check out why Epic Games is being sued over an in-game emote.

Ali-A reveals 6 things Epic should do to make Fortnite “great again” A lot of changes were made when Fortnite Chapter 2 launched in October, and superstar YouTuber Ali-A has come up with a list of six things developers Epic Games should do to bring the popular battle royale title back to its peak form. While it may still be the most popular title out there, there is no denying that Fortnite is no longer the game that was universally adored during its early seasons of existence, with many of the game’s recent changes directly leading to more and more player complaints. The emergence of Chapter 2 was a curveball that gave fans a lot of hope, as the brand new map and limited pool of items and weapons gave many the impression that Epic was starting a new chapter in Fortnite with almost a blank canvas. All that said, most content creators are still using the game as their primary source for content, one of them being Ali-A, who is among the biggest Fortnite YouTubers out there. While his channel is still almost exclusively limited to the battle royale title, Ali-A wants to see Epic return the game to what it was when almost everyone loved it to its core, and has made a list of proposals that he thinks will help with that. Go back to releasing patch notes – For one reason or another, Epic have stopped releasing patch notes with every update, and it’s frustrated most, if not all, of the player-base. – Add more mobility – There is no doubt that the new Fortnite Chapter 2 map is starving for mobility options like Launch Pads, Impulse and Shockwave Grenades, Bouncers, and pretty much anything that would help players get to places faster. – Remove skill-based matchmaking – Epic added SBMM to the casual playlists back in Season X, and it’s definitely something that a lot of players want removed so they can enjoy the game without having to constantly be trying 100% against tough opponents. – Add more vehicles – While this does fit in with the need for more mobility, adding more vehicles deserves its own separate point because there simply aren’t enough types of them on the map. The only vehicles currently in the game are boats, and when Epic temporarily disabled them due to an unknown issue, it left the map with no vehicles at all. – Add siphon back in casual game modes – Siphon is the mechanic that gives players an extra 50 points of health or shield when eliminated an enemy. It was removed from casual playlists back in February, and since then, players have been asking for its return. Adding it back to regular pubs would definitely help improve Fortnite. – Bring back Vending Machines – Vending Machines were also taken out of the game when Chapter 2 launched, and there’s no question that they were a good thing to have on the map. – Ali-A’s full video on how to make Fortnite great again can be found below. In the video, he actually presents 10 things for Epic to do, but some were omitted from our list. At the end of the day, if Epic have proved themselves to be one thing over the past two-plus years, it’s that they’re unpredictable. In most cases, they’ve not allowed negative player feedback and complaints to deter them from their overall agenda and plan for Fortnite. That said, the fact that they launched Chapter 2 in a way that indicates they’re starting over, so to speak, then maybe they will use a lot of what was said during the first 10 seasons to dictate the next 10, starting with some of the items in the list above.

Ali-A makes huge prediction about Fortnite Season 6 Epic Games / Ali-APopular Fortnite YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has made a bold prediction about where the game is heading in Season 6, and it could mean the return of a long-running mystery. Fortnite may be best-known for its addictive battle royale gameplay and high-profile crossovers with franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, but it’s also got its own immersive storylines and lore to keep players hooked. Naturally, this leads to plenty of speculation from fans about where the game could be heading next, and YouTuber Ali-A has presented his own prediction about what Epic Games could have in store for us in the upcoming Chapter 2 Season 6. In a new video, superfan Ali-A explains that Fortnite is close to the halfway point of Chapter 2 Season 5, and that Chapter 2 Season 6 will likely arrive at some point in March – an exciting prospect indeed. Based on previous theories, he believes that the new season will mark the return of Kevin the Cube. Is Kevin the Cube returning in Fortnite Season 6? The Cube is a mysterious object that first appeared in Fortnite in 2018, and was quickly nicknamed Kevin by fans. Its reason for arriving on The Island was initially unknown, although it went on to cause mayhem as it destroyed locations and lifted the island at Loot Lake into the sky. There have been plenty of rumors and speculation from fans that The Cube will return, although it’s yet to make an appearance in Chapter 2. But that could be about to change if predictions from Ali-A are correct. “The big theme we’ve picked up on with the Chapter 2 seasons is that they mimic the Chapter 1 seasons, just with a new twist,” he explains, pointing to how Chapter 1 Season 4 had a superhero theme, and Chapter 2 Season 4 had a Marvel superheroes theme. “Looking ahead, the next season will obviously be Chapter 2 Season 6. Chapter 1 Season 6 had the theme of Darkness Rises, specifically the point at which Kevin the Cube had gone into the ground and then returned, lifting up the central island on its back.” Because of previous similarities between seasons in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, Ali-A believes that Chapter 2, Season 6 will have another Darkness theme, and as a result, will see the return of Kevin the Cube. “There are constant Fortnite hints to the Cube returning, and also this Darkness theme,” he says. “The next season is going to be huge, and no doubt will keep on giving us information about Agent Jonesy, the Imagined Order, and Kevin the Cube.” The return of Kevin the Cube will likely be enough to get fans expected about the upcoming Season 6, and hopefully Ali-A is right about the Imagined Order, too, as they’ve been a mysterious presence throughout the current season.

Ali-A, Nick Eh 30 & more react to new Fortnite lever action shotgun: Is it OP? Epic GamesWith the brand new Fortnite update, Epic Games added Lever Action Shotgun to the game and it seems to output an insane amount of base damage, dwarfing other shotguns, but it also has a questionable accuracy problem. Every time a new weapon is added into Fortnite, it has the potential to change up the metagame a significant amount. While some never even make a mark, the community always pays attention when it happens. Because of that, all eyes are on the new Lever Action Shotgun, which was added in with the new update. Currently, players are scrambling to find out exactly where the new gun lands compared to others not only in its class, but in the entire game. Now, we have some early reactions from some streamers and suffice to say there’s a variety of opinions right now. On January 13, YouTuber Ali-A released a video talking about the new gun. While he initially said that the shotgun was “the best that Fortnite has ever seen” due to its high amount of base damage and quick rechamber speed, he quickly seemed to back off, stating that it actually might be a bit underpowered. The problem comes from the fact that the spread and accuracy seems to be incredibly weak. In a tweet posted to his Twitter account, he showed that a near-point black shot on an enemy with the uncommon version only netted him three pellet hits and 32 damage, which is very weak. Is the new Level Action Shotgun actually really bad…!? 😶 pic.twitter.com/AUUJeiQERQ — Ali-A (@OMGitsAliA) January 13, 2021 That being said, the base damage of the weapon is actually higher than others in the game right now like the Tactical Shotgun, meaning that, if you can get all of the pellets to hit your target, you have the potential to deal some heavy hits. The weaknesses of the Lever Action Shotgun, however, don’t seem to be all that detrimental for some. Twitch Streamer NickEh30 posted on Twitter that the new weapon gets his approval. In addition, during a recent stream, he also said “I like it, I like it a lot”, after winning a gunfight with it. Things in 2021 that are officially approved by Nick Eh 30: – Lever Action Shotgun — Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh30) January 13, 2021 Streamers x2Twins also seemed to like it, stating that “the Lever Action Shotgun is kind of a demon”. The pair doesn’t seem to be too confident, however, adding “maybe?” and “we’re not sure”, signifying that more testing might have to be done before determining just how good or bad it really is. Both NickEh30 and x2Twins reactions can be seen in a video from Daily Clip Central below. (NickEh30’s reaction starts at 9:12 and x2Twins reactions start at 11:50 for mobile users) All in all, while it might take some time to know the full ramifications, it seems like it’s an overall positive improvement and has a good balance. Here’s hoping that this is actually the case.

Ali-A hosts “impossible” Fortnite trivia event with 10,000 V-Bucks prize L: Ali-A – YouTube R: Epic GamesYouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken hosted a Fortnite trivia event that gave players an opportunity to come away with 10,000 V-Bucks as a reward. While Ali-A isn’t known for being among the best Fortnite players in the world, he still commands a large audience that is always looking to see what he comes up with next. In his video from February 1, the YouTuber hosted a trivia contest made in the Creative mode where he asked a lobby of players a series of questions that he deemed to be “impossible.” As an incentive for players to give it their all, Ali-A offered up a reward of 10,000 V-Bucks, which would be good for buying anything from new skins and cosmetics, or even holding onto for the upcoming Battle Pass in Season 2. Of course, he couldn’t make it easy for players, so he had to come up with a series of questions that would narrow down the lobby to just one victor. Every time a player answered incorrectly, they would be eliminated by Ali-A and forced to watch as somebody else went on to claim the prize. Questions included things as simple as when Fortnite’s battle royale mode launched but became as complex as how many builds could you put down if you had maxed out materials in all three categories. Eventually, he was able to whittle it down to just two remaining players. For his final question, he asked the two if he was closer to six or seven billion views when you combine his two YouTube channels together. The contestants were split with their choices, so a winner was going to be declared. The answer ended up being six billion and Ali-A named player ImDaddio- the victor. With such a high turnout and interest in this trivia event, it’s possible the YouTuber will decide to run it again in the near future. Even star Fortnite streamer SypherPK got into the comment section and suggested including a question about the recent Fortnite Fashion Show World Cup, which, of course, he and Ali-A won.

Ali-A explains potential Fortnite Chapter 2 storyline twist Epic Games could be on the brink of doing something unprecedented in Fortnite Battle Royale for Halloween, if YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken is proven to be correct. The popular internet personality, who many people will know for his popular Pokemon Go, Call of Duty and Fortnite video series of videos online, posted some interesting information that any battle royale fan will no doubt be interested in. Ali-A recently revealed a handy trick on how to count the amount of bots in Fortnite Chapter 2 matches and now it appears that he might well have uncovered a huge clue for an upcoming event. The 25-year-old posted a video to his official YouTube channel on October 26, after noticing that a huge mysterious door had been added along with the brand new map, without any real explanation behind its existence. Ali-A, however, has seen something very similar to this door before and it was in Save the World mode, which is separate from Fortnite Battle Royale and has to be purchased to play. With Epic Games previously hinting that the game could also be free-to-play in the near future, this door could be a way of making that crossover happen – maybe even as part of this year’s Fortnitemares Halloween event. “For a long, long time now Fortnite have said that Save the World will be going free-to-play,” he said during the video. Ali-A continued: “I believe the biggest reason it hasn’t happened yet is because they are still waiting to tie in the stories together so when finally the Save the World story and Battle Royale story link in, make sense, and has an actual connection in the storyline, that is when they will open it up to the masses to play for free because people will understand it a little bit better and will have a reason to jump over and play that portion of the game.” While this is just a theory at the time of writing and nothing has been confirmed, let alone even mentioned, by Epic Games about this potential crossover coming soon, the pieces of the puzzle are certainly there for all to see. Whether or not the modes will be coming together as he suggests during the video remains to be seen, but elements of the Save the World have already appeared in Battle Royale previously, as zombies have been seen to take over different locations in the past. It might not be the most unlikely possibility that we see something come out of this massive door at some stage in Chapter 2, Season 1.

Ali-A has a crazy theory about Fortnite Season 5, but he might be right Epic Games / YouTube: Ali-AAlastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has heard every Fortnite fan theory in the book, but there’s one he truly believes in. The YouTube star believes everything old is new again, and everything in the Fortnite universe is somehow “linked together” — pointing towards Season 5 as the prime example. Fortnite players have always theorized about what parts of the game relate to another. It’s part of the parcel when Epic developed a deep enough story and lore behind the game that fans want to dig into. While this often means smaller things — a POI with a reference to a character, or some special interactions — Ali-A believes it’s something much bigger. He believes that everything is interconnected, from the Fortnite world to the real world, and Epic are the puppet-masters. “Worlds Collide. If you’ve been playing Fortnite for long enough, you’ll recognize that slogan from Chapter 1 Season 5, and guess what? It’s happening again right now,” the YouTube star claimed. “We refer to the loop as the infinite looping of playing battle royale games over and over. The storm comes in, someone wins, the storm goes out again, and it repeats. That’s not the only thing looping though…as the Fortnite chapters are looping themselves too.” He used the two latest Chapter 2 seasons — four and five — to prove his point. “In Chapter 1 Season 4, with all the fake superheroes that were on-set filming in the Fortnite world, and then jump forward to Chapter 2 Season 4, real superheroes in the form of the Marvel world entered the map,” he said. “The entire theme of Chapter 1 Season 5 was worlds colliding, viking ships appearing on the Fortnite map, Durrr Burger disappearing from the Fortnite world and going to the real world, and here we are again in this season with so many worlds colliding.” He also claimed that the zero point ‘existed’ somewhere in real life. With all the crossovers Epic are putting on between in-game events and real world occurrences, someone high up is calling the shots. “Some people have been sending me videos from Egypt of Fortnite battle busses in real life, actually on the streets. We know that when Agent Jonesy jumped through the zero point, he lost his backpack, and I have it — it was literally sent to me,” he added. “Anything and everything in the Fortnite world has a reason and has a purpose — it is all linked together.” This theory has a bit of momentum behind it. Epic certainly has managed to create numerous events to help promote Fortnite, and the real world is a part of their medium. The chapters looping back on themselves also makes sense — and it could make the rest of Chapter 2 even more exciting.

Ali-A gets inside secret Spawn Island vault in Fortnite Epic Games / Ali-A[jwplayer kQAVn1Ly] Popular YouTuber Ali-A has managed to glitch inside of the secret vault found on the Helicarrier Spawn Island in Fortnite and it’s contents are a bit underwelming, to say the least. Season 4 of Fortnite Chapter 2 saw the inclusion of a slew of Marvel Comics-themed weapons, characters, items, and even locations to the game. Players are able to fly around as Iron Man, wield Thor’s mighty hammer, and even glide on the Silver Surfer’s board. One of the changes made this season on Spawn Island, which was converted into a SHIELD Helicarrier. On the island, fans noticed that there was a secret vault that required a keycard in order to open but no one seemed to be able to get into it. That is, until now. Popular YouTuber Ali-A has managed to get inside of the locked off vault byways of glitching, but if you’re expecting a grand reveal of content, you won’t be getting it. Ali-A managed to glitch through the invisible wall near the side of the map with a boat, then build a ramp up and drive the boat on it, before landing on the Helicarrier. He then used another glitch (which was blurred so that he doesn’t actually show how to perform the glitch), placing him inside the locked room itself. So what’s inside the vault, you may ask? Nothing. Which shouldn’t really come as a shock to most people. If an area isn’t supposed to be accessed a game, generally speaking, they won’t put anything in there, as that just takes up unnecessary memory that bogs down the system, even a tiny bit. Does this mean that the vault will always be like this? More than likely, the developers will add something to the vault once it’s meant to be opened the proper way. While there’s no telling exactly when that will be, it’s probably bound to happen at some point during this season. While the reveal of what’s inside the vault is certainly disappointing, here’s hoping that something interesting will be added in the near future.

Ali-A gives Fortnite players first look at next-gen graphics Epic Games / Ali-AYouTuber Alistair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has released footage of how Fortnite Battle Royale will look with its next-gen update, giving PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC players a flavor of what’s to come. The popular content creator is known for finding some of the game’s biggest secrets and tricks. Many of his videos drop following patches, where he looks through different skins and leaks. Though, one day before everybody else, he rolled out a new video showing off how graphics will soon look in the battle royale title. Ali-A shows off Fortnite next-gen On September 16, Ali-A posted a video to his YouTube channel showing off what he described as Fortnite 2.0. He put in the new parts needed to run Fortnite next-gen on PC, and off he went! After picking up a few eliminations, he opened up about the game’s new performance. He said: “I have never had performance like this in Fortnite, even with the old setting turned onto max. It’s crazy, the fact that the game can run all this, look this good, and still get such high FPS. I’m blown away.” Segment starts at 3:44 below. New Fortnite update opens up next-gen graphics The game’s developers have since rolled out a new update that allows all players to access these graphics, if they own NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU cards and DirectX12. As the trailer shows, not to mention Ali-A’s footage, a boat load of graphics improvements are in the pipeline for the new Xbox and PS consoles. PC players will also be delighted by the change, but their graphics always have the potential for improvement unlike those on console. See Fortnite in a whole new light ✨ Today PC players can enable ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS if you use supported @NVIDIAGeForce RTX GPU cards and DirectX12! Read about all the #FortniteRTX info in our blog: https://t.co/rgvv7wAtsv pic.twitter.com/JXPEp78gbl — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) September 17, 2020 In an Epic Games blog post, they said: “The advanced rendering capability of ray tracing allows new visual and lighting effects previously not possible in Fortnite. With our latest update, we’re delivering improved ambient occlusion, shadows, reflections, and real-time global illumination.” They also posted two screenshots which show the difference, as seen below. The one on the right is the old graphics, and the left shows the changes. Clearly, there’s a hell of a difference with reflections. How to get next-gen graphics in Fortnite If you would like to jump into the game and visit the exact same place these screenshots were taken, you’re going to need to enter Creative mode on PC. You will also need the parts listed by Epic. To access the new tech, enter the following code to spawn there: 189-0518-5408. Soon enough, this will be the normal in Fortnite – so get used to it!

Ali-A finds clue for “biggest event ever” in Fortnite Season 4 teasers Ali-A, YouTubeYouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has made a big prediction about Fortnite Season 4’s kick-off event, after sieving through Thor comic books and teasers posted to hype up the next major update. The game’s developers, Epic Games, have been dropping teaser images throughout August about the battle royale title’s next crossover event. After several leaks suggested Thor would be the next one in line from the superhero world, they later confirmed it. Now, fans are wondering what comes next. Live events in the past have proven to be good bridges between seasons, and Ali-A believes history will repeat itself. Though, in a much bigger way than we’ve ever seen before. The British YouTube creator, who has over 17 million subscribers on his channel, posted a new video on August 24. Regular viewers will know he likes to dig into the details and seeks clues wherever he can, and during this upload he did just that. Fortnite Season 4 event prediction After showing off a string of Thor Marvel comic books, he went line by line through the comic book strips of the character. Using what he learnt from each part, the creator made a bold prediction for the future of Fortnite. “Once you reach the island on Fortnite, no one can talk. You’re not able to talk,” he said. “It’s been revealed now that when you come here your memory starts to get wiped, you lose your ability to talk. When Thor was trying to communicate with Fortnite characters they couldn’t respond. They have no memories. They have no way of talking.” Ali-A added: “As a result, the immediate start of the next Fortnite season will be nothing to do with the Galactus I believe that leads to start off with, it will be an initial battle of Marvel and Thor versus the Fortnite world as they try to come to an understanding as to what on earth is going on and try to get each other on their side.” Segment starts at around 7:36 below. “Biggest live event ever” could be coming soon There’s no way of knowing what Epic have up their sleeve just yet, although one thing is clear for now. Thor and Galactus will feature at some stage, possibly with the former getting an exclusive skin set players can unlock. On top of that, he also suggested the Fortnite characters could join up with Marvel superheroes to find out what’s going on in the world. “We could be getting, next season, the biggest live event ever. Galactus could be end live of season battle for Chapter 2, Season 4. As long as we come together with Thor to help for the greater good we’re going to have to get rid of Galactus.” Should Galactus win, Ali-A reckons we could even see a new map emerge as the current island may be destroyed in the battle. Nothing like that has ever happened in Epic Games’ title, so we’ll have to wait and see if the YouTuber’s prediction proves to be accurate.

Ali-A explains why Fortnite’s secret bunkers still can’t be opened Epic GamesYouTube star Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has explained why he thinks Fortnite’s secret metal bunkers still can’t be opened or used since they were added to the game early in Chapter 1. [jwplayer ibznrzc6]Fortnite has undergone tons of map changes since it was first released in September 2017, although there have been some elements that have remained unchanged since the game’s earlier seasons. Among these unchanged features are the hidden bunkers, which have remained relatively untouched and are still scattered around the Fortnite map in Chapter 2, Season 3. While these mysterious bunkers were first added to Wailing Woods in Chapter 1, Season 4, they have still not been opened and have continued to puzzle fans about what their purpose could be. After another one of the bunkers resurfaced, following the July 11 map changes, YouTuber Ali-A has explained why he thinks they have yet to open up in the battle royale map. Following Season 2’s Device event, where it was revealed that “talking Fortnite skins” were in control of the map, Ali-A revealed that they might have a certain use for these bunkers. “This is what I believe the bunkers are used for, simply an access point for the controllers of the Fortnite battle royale world to enter the map, change and do whatever they want to it, and head back out again,” he explained during his latest upload. The YouTuber shared that, while no one has seen these bunkers open up, they are likely used during the downtime around a big update and ahead of major map changes. “The Fortnite servers go off for a few hours every other week for big changes,” he added, “we have downtime before a new season and magically we come back to new changes within the Fortnite world.” Ali-A also claimed that these bunkers could play a massive part in the future storyline, with one of these “talking characters” potentially slipping up in a later season and allowing players to discover what lies behind the bunker. However, the YouTuber’s theory has not been confirmed by Epic and the devs will likely wait for players to find out in-game before revealing just why these bunkers exist.

Ali-A explains why the Star Wars Fortnite event was the biggest disappointment Epic GamesYouTuber and Fortnite superfan Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has broken down all of the Fortnite live events, and one of them was deemed to be worse than the rest. Each season of Fortnite brings with it a host of exciting updates like map changes and new weapons, but some of the most anticipated moments are the live events that often take place to mark the end of a season. So far, we’ve seen everything from in-game Travis Scott and Marshmello concerts to Marvel supervillain Galactus attempting to destroy The Island. While most of the live events have gone down well with fans, some of them have received a slightly more frosty response. That’s why YouTuber Ali-A has taken it upon himself to rank them all from ‘Godly’ to ‘Not Great’. Ali-A ranks all Fortnite live events Of all 12 events on the list, Ali-A revealed that his least favorite one was Chapter 2 Season 1’s Star Wars crossover event. He said it felt like promo for a new film, and went on to explain why the lack of a standout moment was “disappointing” for players. “I think Chapter 2 Season 1 was one of the slowest Fortnite seasons ever, it was the community getting used to the new map, learning the new weapons and mechanics, but we basically got no updates and the live event for that season was also pretty disappointing,” he said. “It was basically a giant collaboration between Star Wars and Fortnite with a lot of chanting on stage and a small preview of a new film. It wasn’t that good.” Although he enjoyed the “absolutely epic” lightsaber weapons that appeared as part of the big Star Wars crossover, Ali-A expressed his hope that Fortnite won’t have a live event similar to this one again. “I don’t think we ever need to see a live event on that scale, that everyone participates in and all the modes shut down, just to basically have a promo put in our faces,” he said. When it came to the best events, though, Ali-A selected Chapter 1 Season 8’s volcano explosion; Chapter 1 Season 9’s epic battle between the Mecha and the Monster; Chapter 2 Season 2’s Travis Scott concert; and Chapter 2 Season 3’s The Device as ‘Godly’ tier. “Looking at this list, all of the live events have had something great about them, and most of them have been utterly incredible,” he concluded. “If the events keep ramping up in scale, it’s only going to get bigger and better.” Ali-A previously shared his expectations for Season 6 of Fortnite, suggesting that the mysterious object Kevin the Cube could be returning alongside a ‘darkness’ theme sweeping The Island. If you’re curious when Season 5’s big event will take place, or when the upcoming Season 6 will begin, we’ve got all the information you need about Fortnite’s future right here.

Ali-A reveals secret buff making Gold Burst the best gun in Fortnite Popular British YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has discussed the supposed secret buff received by the Gold Burst, explaining why he believes it has now overtaken the Gold Scar AR as the best gun in Fortnite Chapter 2. Fortnite Chapter 2 saw a shake-up to the long-established formula and meta that Season 10 saw. A number of weapons were re-added, albeit with different aesthetics and properties. The legendary and epic variants of the Burst Assault Rifle were added back in 2018, only to see all variations vaulted in Season 7. However, all variants were then unvaulted for the start of Chapter 2 (Season 11), seeing the old design bumped down to common through rare variants, while a new design took over the epic and legendary versions. The weapon suffers from a poor fire rate and slow reload, but it compensates through incredibly accurate bursts. On November 1, Ali-A posted a video titled: “The New Best Gun in Fortnite!”, highlighting the gun’s strengths, to the point where he considers it better than the Gold Scar, the rarest form of fully automatic AR. The Scar, available in epic and legendary variants, has long been considered the most powerful overall weapon in Fortnite. However, thanks to one sly buff, Aiken believes the meta might be changing, with a new gun on top of the pile. He kills an enemy swiftly, just after destroying their desperately built walls. “That shows you,” the 25-year-old said. “Broke through the walls, absolute laser accuracy. Already showing you how good it can be. I’ve been overlooking this weapon, maybe you guys have as well.” Timestamp for mobile users: 8:40 “It’s a big game-changer that I did not know about,” he summarized, after finishing off the last opponent with it. Essentially, the ability to fire three shots in such quick succession represents a different strength. With the first bullet or two breaking down an enemy’s wall, the following shots are too fast for another wall to be built, allowing reliable tags even when enemies are behind cover. Also, the weapon returns to 100% accuracy – in which the crosshairs are guaranteed to hit their first shot – very quickly, more so than the Gold Scar. While any significant meta change will not happen quickly, Ali-A clearly believes the Gold Burst can rival the Gold Scar for the spot of fans’ overall favorite weapon. Ali-A references it as the ‘AUG’, a well-known burst assault rifle that has featured countless times in Call of Duty games, the series from which Ali-A initially found fame on YouTube. While maybe not as powerful as the Black Ops weapon of the same name, it seems the Gold Burst is in an excellent place in Fortnite, and up there with the very best weapons.

Ali-A explains why Fortnite’s original map should return L: Ali-A – YouTube R: Epic GamesYouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken took a trip down memory lane and looked back at the original Fortnite map, revealing that he feels the scenery should make a comeback. With the start of Fortnite Chapter 2, Epic Games completely ditched the map players have come to know and love for 10 seasons and replaced it with an entirely new one. There was a lot of hype for this change and it was exciting for players to explore all of the new locations. However, once that honeymoon period passed, there wasn’t a whole lot left for players to keep them engaged. In previous seasons, there would have been a variety of updates that changed locations or hinted towards the future, but the inaugural season of Chapter 2 hasn’t had much of that. As players grow tired of the current map, they yearn for the past, and Ali-A is one of those players doing just that. In a video released on January 13, the YouTube star revisited the beginnings of Fortnite, including a look at the original map. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and Ali explained Epic should bring the map back for that reason, alone. “I seriously think Fortnite should bring (the map) back, even for just an LTM, to allow us to play it and reminisce about the old school days,” he said. He went on to say that if he could bring anything back from a previous season, it’d be the double pump shotgun strategy or jump pads. (Timestamp 0:38) The remainder of the video goes through the very beginnings of Fortnite, including the Halloween event that felt like it was never going to end. Fortnite was such a simpler game back then, as players would make giant bases or sky forts, all while not having a single clue on how to aim their guns properly. It seemed to be something that just about anybody could pick up and master, but as players finally learned how to build, the meta shifted and the casuals were completely left in the dust. The game is clearly in a much better state now, but it’s still fun to think back to how the game got its start and compare it to what it has become in recent times.

Ali-A explains how skill-based matchmaking is “killing” Fortnite YouTuber Alastair ‘Fortnite is being “killed” by the implementation of skill-based matchmaking. Near the end of Season 10, Fortnite introduced skill-based matchmaking into the mix and it has proven to be rather divisive among players. The idea was to prevent pub stomps from the skilled players, as the newer players pretty much had no way of winning considering they don’t know how to build or hold their own with the pros. Instead, the new players are matched up with each other so everyone has an equal chance of winning, while the good players will presumably be going again each other. However, Ali-A thinks that the system inherently has its issues, and spoke up about them while explaining how it’s killing the game. “Skill Based Matchmaking is the worst addition ever to Fortnite and it’s killing the game,” he began. “It’s a system that puts you with similarly skilled players in an effort to see you improve. Then when you do improve, you only go up against other players that are better.” He explains that every game will turn into a sweat-fest with everyone trying their hardest. It’s a common complaint as it has essentially removed the casual aspect of Fortnite. “It’s a never-ending cycling of playing sweaty games of Fortnite and I’m not a fan.” It’s a system that puts you with similarly skilled players in an effort to see you improve. Then when you do improve, you only go up against other players that are better. It’s a never ending cycling of playing sweaty games of Fortnite and I’m not a fan :shrug:♂️ — Ali-A (@OMGitsAliA) November 8, 2019 He does make a fair point, especially for full-time content creators who make a living playing Fortnite all day. If they ever want to have a relaxing day on the stream, it becomes difficult since they will have to tryhard at nearly every moment. Obviously, the new players are benefiting from this, but as he says, as they improve, they will continue to go against similarly skilled players, so it’ll always be a challenge. Many players think this is what Arena mode is for and the regular lobbies should be kept casual. Of course, Epic decided to go in a different direction and this is how things are for the time being. At least bots are being sprinkled into matches now so not every encounter will be over-the-top difficult. Epic said they will keep on fine-tuning the system so feedback like this from Ali-A is critical to that if they want to perfect the formula.

Ali-A discovers secret Galactus event ‘teaser’ on Fortnite next-gen Ali-A / Epic GamesYouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has stumbled upon what appears to be a hidden map change in Fortnite next-gen, and he thinks it’s going to link up with the Season 4 ending event. The game’s current season started up in August of this year and has been all about Marvel characters again, with the world eating Galactus expected to finally descend upon the map to kick off the next major update. A few clues about the character’s arrival have already been seen dotted around the island, but this one is a little stranger than anything we’ve seen before. What could be a secret lair appears to be shining in the background when dropping into the game, and Epic Games haven’t confirmed what it is just yet. Ali-A finds big Fortnite Galactus clue On November 15, the popular content creator uploaded a video about free skins and how to claim them – which relates to the new Surf Strider bundle players can pick up, by following a few simple steps. Though, aside from that, he did pause for a quick moment to show off one of his latest discoveries. In the distance, a small glimmer of light can be seen on another island, which might be another indication about how this Season 4 ending event will play out. Ali-A shows off the location at 3:04 below. He says: “You see that light there, off in the distance. I first noticed that when I jumped on next-gen version of Fortnite. That light is super obvious, we don’t know what it is right now, but could play a huge part in a live event or some part of the story.” Ali-A urged players to keep looking over at the distant islands in the near future, to see if any other changes emerge from this discovery. Of course, in the past, he’s been the fastest to notice many changes like this in-game, and he could be onto a big find here again. Whether or not Galactus has already landed over there, plotting, remains to be seen.

Ali-A explains how Epic can stop “killing” Fortnite Epic Games / Ali-AFortnite Chapter 2 has been a crowd-pleaser for the most part, but popular YouTuber Ali-A released a lengthy video detailing how the devs could improve the battle royale. One of the biggest complaints from Fortnite content creators, pros, and community members alike has been the Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) system implemented in the game’s multiplayer. SBMM pairs players of similar skill level in the same lobby. While this sounds great on paper, the lackluster execution has been creating situations where Fortnite games are wildly competitive, even in casual environments – taking some of the joy that the battle royale offered, according to Ali-A. “Ultimately, for some people it [SBMM] was great, generally the bad players,” Ali said. “For the better players, it was putting them in skill lobbies where the skill is more even. It generally made content creations a lot harder and generally makes the mood of the game a lot more dull.” To drive his point, the YouTuber pointed out that the random fun in matches from Fortnite’s early months aren’t as prevalent. It’s at the point where it’s “almost impossible” for casual players to hop in and get that “odd win,” he explained. While people were still getting the hang of the game and how it works at that time, it’s more about the kind of firefights that would randomly pop up – creating a hectic gaming experience filled with unexpected thrills. Ever since SBMM came into the game, these instances have been far and few between for a lot of Fortnite community members. The effects of the changes have been putting off people from the shooter, and, as a result, souring the experience for the people left playing. “If Fortnite aren’t careful, this implementation of SBMM will just slowly kill the whole community even more,” Ali-A said. The longtime Fortnite content creator is a staunch supporter of the game and as such explained a variety of ways that Epic Games can go about improving their battle royale. This included revamping the ‘Fun Factor’ that Fortnite was iconic for. Items like Port-a-Fort weren’t perfect, but they offered that bizarre sort of enjoyment that was part competitive, part campy humor. Along with the changes Epic has made over the years, some of the fun factor has diminished, the YouTuber says, so bringing back certain items and weapons could help restore that. As for the recurring changes the Fortnite typically have, Epic Games knocked it out of the park in Chapter 1 with the various patch notes and updates they launched. Ali-A was impressed with the amount of content week-in-week-out that Fortnite used to release. While that amount of content is realistic anymore, he thinks Epic needs to roll out with a “consistent pace” of exciting additions to the Fortnite map to keep things interesting. One of the biggest criticisms that the developers have faced since the release of Chapter 2 is their inconsistent approach to updates and patch notes, so going back to the pattern they established in Chapter 1 could be a solid move. All in all, bringing Fortnite back to its heydey doesn’t come down to a single miraculous change. Instead, Epic Games will have to strategize and figure out what approach will yield them the most positive feedback moving forward.

Ali-A discovers secret details about Fortnite’s new spaceship Ali-A, YouTube / Epic Games / FortTory[jwplayer t8tVUPFe]Fortnite YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has revealed hidden details about the underwater spaceship that has recently appeared on the map. Following the introduction of a flooded map in Season 3, Fortnite has been receiving weekly map changes as the water levels are continuing to lower. However, during some of the latest changes on July 18, it was revealed that a new spaceship had appeared underwater on the northern side of the map near Craggy Cliffs. It had been previously leaked that there was an astronaut trapped inside, who would need to be rescued in one of the upcoming challenges, and YouTuber Ali-A has now revealed some more secret details about the mysterious character and the spacecraft. The Fortnite star revealed that Epic Games had already shared clues about the arrival of the spaceship with space-themed cosmetics hidden in the Season’s battle pass. Season 3’s battle pass featured items such as the ‘Comet Crasher’ glider but Ali-A pointed out a tier 80 skin, Siona, who has an astronaut suit as one of her alternate styles. “Her space theme outfit doesn’t really align with everything else, but the whole idea of space is dotted throughout the battle pass,” he explained. He also pointed out that a loading screen in the battle pass featured Siona next to the spaceship, suggesting that it is likely how she arrived in Fortnite. The YouTuber went into replay mode to get a better look at the spaceship and trapped astronaut, even managing to reveal a look at his face underneath the helmet. While it is unclear when the leaked challenges surrounding this astronaut will be made live, Ali-A suggested that this character could tie into “the biggest mystery of the Fortnite storyline – The Seven.” Only three characters of the Seven have been revealed so far and Ali-A added that claimed more could be coming soon, “to find out more about these characters, space is going to have to be revisited at some point and it looks like its starting off right now.” However, Epic Games have yet to confirm any of these rumors and will likely remain silent on these theories until it is revealed in-game.

Ali-A begs Epic Games to stop “killing” Fortnite BRUTE mechs were first added to the game at the start of Fortnite Season X, and immediately became an unpopular addition to the game due to their incredible power to eliminate opponents, mixed with the ease of use that makes them accessible to any player. Player likes Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins and Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney have already weighed in on the problems they have with the mechanical monstrosities, and now Ali-A has added his name to the list of disgruntled content creators who are desperate to see Epic Games make a change. In a tweet sent out on Thursday, August 15, the Brit made it clear that he wasn’t a fan of the robots being in the game, and took aim at Epic Games over their failure to nerf them despite continued outcry from the people who play their game. Dear Epic Games,” the 25-year-old wrote on Twitter. “I love you, but you’re successfully killing your own game and losing players because you’re too stubborn to change the mechs in a way that actually makes them fair.” “Listen to the community, please.” Dear @FortniteGame I love you but… You’re successfully killing your own game and losing players because you’re too stubborn to change the Mech’s in a way that actually makes them fair. Listen to the community, please :pray: — Ali-A (@OMGitsAliA) August 14, 2019 While August 14’s v10.10 Update did include some changes to the BRUTES, including a new laser sight that should warn you when one is about to open fire on your location, it still doesn’t appear to have satisfied players who believe they should be nerfed, or removed from the game entirely. Whether they are “killing” the game like Ali-A suggests remains to be seen, but it comes as little surprise that he is the latest popular figure to express their annoyance at the developers of the battle royale title.

Ali-A breaks down Fortnite Season 3’s big Midas mystery Epic Games / Ali-A, YouTubePopular YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has explained what he thinks happened to the fan-favorite character Midas, following the massive flood event in Fortnite’s second season. [jwplayer ibznrzc6]Midas was first introduced in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 as a Spy Boss at the former ‘Agency’ point of interest and was also available as a Legendary character skin for players to obtain. However, it was later revealed that Midas would play a massive role in the end-of-season event, coming out as the mastermind behind the attempts to stop the storm from taking over the map. Will Midas return in Fortnite Season 3? Although his plans to act against the mysterious Jonesy character, who is seemingly controlling the Fortnite world, did not go as expected, many are curious whether or not he will be added back to the game. Fortnite YouTuber Ali-A broke down some of the clues that Epic Games had left behind, during his latest video, and explained what he thinks has happened to the Golden Agent. Ali-A explained that the characters in Fortnite would have their memories reset for every match. However, Midas seemingly found a way around this, using the helmets in his base to remind himself he was trapped in a simulation. “Midas was so clever, he realized that the battle royale map was stuck in an infinite loop of the storm coming in over and over,” Ali-A revealed, “he was 200IQ enough to realize he had to stop it.” Unfortunately, after his failed attempt at putting an end to the cycle, Ali-A shared that the talking Jonesy took action against the rogue character to prevent him from doing similar in the future. “It’s safe to say, that all of the talking Fortnite skins have gone ahead to make sure Midas will never do a great big escape plan ever again,” he added, explaining that they destroyed his base and will be keeping a closer eye on him in coming seasons. After Midas was last seen being eaten by a Shark, in the Season 3 intro trailer, Ali-A admitted that he felt as if it was unlikely that Midas, as well as TNTina and Skye, would return as major characters for quite a while.

Airwaks and RL Grime win $3 million Pro-Am at Fortnite World Cup – recap, highlights and final placements Epic Games – TwitchThe Celebrity Pro-Am competition at the Fortnite World Cup wrapped up on July 26, with Team Solary pro player Karim ‘Airwaks’ Benghalia and popular DJ RL Grime finishing in first place for the second time in a row. As with the previous two Pro-Am competitions, the World Cup edition featured some of the biggest content creators in the Fortnite community. Paired with these 50 streamers and YouTubers were 50 well-known athletes, musicians, actors, and other celebrities who have at least a mild interest in the popular battle royale title. The format of the competition was simple, four matches were played, with the duos earning points each match based on their number of eliminations and placement. The overall prize pool of $3 million was split according to the final placements, with all of the money earned going to the charities of the players’ choices. This was the second time that the duo of Airwaks and RL Grime took home the championship trophy at a Pro-Am event, having also claimed victory at the same competition during last month’s Summer Block Party in Los Angeles. Below, you can find a full recap and highlights for all four matches, followed by the final placements and the prize split. Game 1 – SinoOoh steals the show With all of the players and their duos looking to get off to a good start in the first match, it was Korean pro Fortnite player Sino0h and Oh.King who took the cake early on. Their Victory Royale and 13 eliminations, 12 of which came from the Korean pro, were good enough to secure them a nice 23 point haul. Game 2 – Tfue and Cloak fall just short The second match was a strong opportunity for Fortnite heavyweights Tfue and Cloak to land a thick amount of points, but they were both outlasted by YouTuber Jacob and his actress duo Clare Grant. The pair got the Victory Royale to go along wit six eliminations, all from the Polish Fortnite star, leaving Cloak and Tfue to finish second and third respectively. Game 3 – Cloak forced into second place again For the second straight match, Cloak found himself on the verge of finally grabbing that elusive Victory Royale, and for the second straight match, he fell just short. This time, it was YouTuber Jelty and Timbers Esports CEO Gaborever who clinched the first place finish, to go along with their five eliminations for a 15 points haul. Game 4 – Marksman and JT Brown clutch up With everything still to play for in the fourth and final game, the endgame turned out to be a crowded affair, with still a lot of teams left alive in the final stages of the match. The Victory Royale ended up going to Twitch streamer Marksman and JT Brown, who also got 12 eliminations to boost themselves into the sixth spot for the final standings. Fortnite World Cup Pro-Am final standings With all four matches in the book, here are the final placements for the Fortnite World Cup Celebrity Pro-Am, along with each duo’s split of the $3 million prize pool that will be going to the charity of their choice. Remember, this completes only day one of the three days of festivities at the Fortnite World Cup. There is still a Duos event to be played on July 27 and a Solos tournament on July 28, with the collective prize pool between the two competitions sitting at an incredible $30 million.

Fortnite: Alfonso Ribeiro’s ‘Carlton Dance’ legal dispute with Epic Games concludes AK Gammer / Benjamin ReedEpic Games were previously accused of infringing copyright by Alfonso Ribeiro for adding the ‘Carlton Dance’ to Fortnite, but the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor has now dropped his lawsuit. Ribeiro had claimed that the developer had used his dance in their game without permission and was expecting Epic to pay for copyright infringement. He alleged that many Fortnite players will associate the ‘Fresh’ emote with his character from the show. However, after it was revealed that the U.S Copyright Office had rejected his attempts to copyright the dance move on February 14, he has decided to drop legal action. Court documents confirmed that Ribeiro’s lawsuit had come to a close – almost three months after the actor first revealed that he intended to sue Epic Games. Read More: Fortnite Season 8 Week 2 Challenges and how to complete them – Pirate Cannons, Furthest Points and more – “This action is dismissed by the Plaintiff in its entirety,” the document states – according to Yahoo Finance. (A video of the dance can be seen below, near the 0:50 mark) Ribeiro is not the only actor to have explored legal action against Epic for adding purchasable cosmetics inspired by popular culture, though. Terrence ‘2 Milly’ Ferguson had also claimed that the developer had added his dance move to their popular battle royale game without his permission. In that instance, an Epic attorney responded by saying: “No one can own a dance step”. The ‘Fresh’ emote is still available in Fortnite’s item shop, as is the ‘Swipe It’ dance – inspired by the Milly Rock dance made popular by 2 Milly.

Aim coach sparks debate ranking impact of aiming in Fortnite, Overwatch & Apex Respawn/Epic Games/BlizzardAn esports aiming coach has created a couple of tier lists ranking games for their difficultly to properly aim and the impact that good aim can have. Needless to say, fans are split on the results. AIMER7 is well-known for his educational guides and being quite a skilled player at a number of games, including Overwatch, where he is a former top 500 player. Now, the coach has crafted two tier lists that got fans of a number of titles riled up by ranking games by how aiming affects them. AIMER’s more controversial list ranked games based on the impact aiming has on a match, listing Fortnite in the top tier. Tier list of how IMPACTFUL aim is in order to make you win at the game: pic.twitter.com/rRMbr2VZv3 — AIMER7 (@vF_AIMER7) January 7, 2021 From there, Warzone was in the “significantly impactful” tier while Quake, CSGO and Valorant were listed as “moderately impactful.” Apex Legends was alone as “not very impactful,” but Overwatch and TF2 had the unfortunate distinction of having “zero impact.” “As you guys can see, Overwatch is both the hardest game in the world to aim in, and where aim is the least impactful,” AIMER7 explained. “You can have an aimbot in OW and lose most of your games. The impact of aim in Fortnite is however very big, and this is why aim assist should be NERFED massively.” The decision to rank Overwatch so slow did not sit well with fans of Blizzard’s hero-based shooter. “You obviously don’t play OW at a high level or don’t watch pro play …any hitscan with aimbot will just dominate games,” one user snapped. Others called AIMER7 biased towards Fortnite. One remarked, “Fortnite will NEVER be a game that requires amazing aim skills, you can be average but have amazing building skills and decimate in that game.” The list may make more sense, however, when you factoring in his first tier list, which ranked games by their aim difficulty. In this list, Overwatch was number one, alone in the “S tier.” From there, in A tier, he notably put Fortnite, while B tier featured Apex Legends and Warzone. C tier, meanwhile, had Valorant, CSGO, and Unreal Tournament. Surprisingly, the only game in D tier was Team Fortress 2. When asked about why Fortnite’s aim was the most impactful when it’s not the most important, AIMER7 responded, “If you’re a decent builder/box fighter, without being cracked, you can carry yourself with very good aim, hard angles, and so on. Reciprocally, if you’re a god in build/edit/boxfight with bad aim, you’re not going to do a lot.” It will be interesting to see how the lists change if games with heavy aim assist properties are ever considerably toned down. Until then, the great aim debate continues to rage on.

Airplane ‘Bumble’ vehicle coming to Fortnite Battle Royale according to leaks A new vehicle has been discovered in the game files of Fortnite following the v6.22 update on November 4, and its description sounds very much like it will be a plane. The game files relate to vehicle sounds for something called ‘Bumble’, but it is the types of sounds that indicate this will not be a land vehicle. Instead, this new vehicle will almost certainly be soaring high in the sky, with sound descriptions such as ‘Overhead distant’ and ‘Travel Cue’. Of course, none of this has been confirmed by Epic Games officially, these are simply raw game files, but given the file names it is difficult to fathom what else the ‘Bumble’ could possibly be. Considering the recent change to gliders, allowing players to use them at any point in the match, it would make sense that more items were added allowing you to get up high. Potentially the Bumble could also be a helicopter or another form of air vehicle, but most fans seem to be predicting an aeroplane. A New Vehicle coming Soon, and let me tell you. It’s sounds like a plane. pic.twitter.com/BTmAsC5psj — Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks (@FNBRLeaks) November 6, 2018 Update: FNBRLeaks have now shared another leak relating to the Bumble on Twitter, and this all but confirms that it is indeed a plane. The sounds described in the game files above can be heard in the video below, and you can distinctly hear a jet engine flying and the air rushing by. This would presumably be what a player on the ground would hear above them. Bumble (Vehicle) Sounds, it’s a plane. pic.twitter.com/og4s83BAqK — Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks (@FNBRLeaks) November 6, 2018 There’s no hints whatsoever as to when this vehicle might be added, although there is every chance we won’t see it in game until Season 7. On the other hand, it could be as soon as next week, you never really know with Epic Games and their Fortnite surprises. Presumably, a vehicle like this would be found at certain locations on the map, perhaps only one or two in total, but how they would affect balance and matches, especially in the closing moments will be interesting. How an air vehicle interacts with the storm would also be notable, as in other battle royale games with air vehicles, the storm often causes them to malfunction to prevent players simply flying around outside the zone.

Aim-botter takes out Dr DisRespect in his own $20,000 Fortnite tournament There is nothing more frustrating than running into an aim-botter in Fortnite Battle Royale, which popular streamer Dr DisRespect was harshly reminded of recently. On November 8, Dr DisRespect and Team SoloMid streamer ‘RealKraftyy’ partnered up to compete in the first-ever running of the $20,000 Code Red Fortnite tournament, a competition that the Doc himself had organized in collaboration with BoomTV and EsportsArena. In round three of the tournament, which was the WInners Bracket semifinal, the pair were wiped out by a single player during a gunfight at Pleasant Park. The player hit some pristine shots to first down the Doc and then followed up by annihilating Kraftyy, who was trying to build up and protect his teammate. The shots that were hit were so pure, that both Doc and Kraftyy could do nothing but react incredulously: “What? No! Are you serious? Ummm, he literally did not miss a shot on me while I was gliding. Like actually didn’t miss.” However, a closer examination of the sequence in replay mode revealed that the enemy player’s shots were a little too perfect, and it quickly became clear that cheating and unfair play was involved. The clip below shows the hacker’s character moving in an exaggerated fashion as his aim drags seamlessly from player to player. Wile this situation may not have been the only factor in the Duo’s eventual loss, it was clearly enough to be a major distraction that threw off their concentration for the remainder of their matches. The Doc and Kraftyy ended up losing their round three match, and were dropped down to the Losers Bracket, where they also lost and were eliminated, finishing the tournament tied for 5/6th. For a full recap of the November 8 Code Red $20,000 Fortnite tournament, including a finalized bracket and final placements, check out our recap HERE.

How to visit Adrift or Pawntoon in a motorboat in Fortnite Chapter 3 Epic GamesPlayers will need to visit Adrift or Pawntoon in a motorboat to complete a weekly challenge in Fortnite Chapter 3, so we’ve got their locations to help you find them in no time. The end of Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 1 is fast-approaching, meaning players only have a few more weeks to earn XP, max out their Battle Pass, and unlock all of the skins and cosmetics on offer (including those rare Super Styles). Fortunately, those weekly challenges just keep on coming. In Week 12, players will need to visit Adrift or Pawntoon in a motorboat to earn 25,000 XP – although that could be difficult, as these landmarks are quite hard to find. Below, you’ll find locations for both Adrift and Pawntoon, as well as tips on how to complete this quest. Contents How to visit Adrift or Pawntoon in a motorboat – Adrift location in Fortnite – Pawntoon location in Fortnite – How to visit Adrift or Pawntoon in a motorboat in Fortnite The first part of this challenge is to get a motorboat, as there’s no point finding Adrift or Pawntoon and then having to backtrack. You can find two motorboats at the docks just west of Greasy Grove. From there, you’ll just need to visit one of the landmarks – either Adrift or Pawntoon – to complete the challenge. We’d recommend going to Adrift, as it’s just west off the coast near the Greasy Grove docks. It’s likely that many players have never visited Adrift or Pawntoon before, considering how difficult they are to find, so we’ve put together simple location guides for both landmarks below. Adrift location in Fortnite Chapter 3 To find Adrift in Fortnite Chapter 3, visit the beachside docks west of Greasy Grove and grab yourself a motorboat. Then, you just need to drive further west out into the ocean until you reach Adrift. If you’re struggling to spot the Adrift landmark in Fortnite, that’s probably because it’s a sunken ship hidden underwater. You should be able to drive your motorboat over it to complete the challenge. Pawntoon location in Fortnite Chapter 3 Pawntoon is a unique boat in Fortnite, as it’s the first (and only) landmark that spawns in a random location at the beginning of each match. This means you’ll need to do some searching to find it. The main tip we can give is that Pawntoon never spawns on lakes or rivers inside the map, so the best way to find it is to travel along the coastline around the edges of the island and hope that you spot it. Read More: How to find Drake’s Map in Fortnite – As there will be lots of other players looking for Pawntoon, you’ll need to be careful when approaching it. We’d recommend bringing along some weapons just in case you end up in a shootout. Remember, you only need to visit one of the two landmarks, either Adrift or Pawntoon, in a motorboat to complete this challenge. Once you do that, a total of 25,000 XP will be added to your account.

A Warning Siren Ringing Out From the Evil Lair (Snobby Shores) in Fortnite Battle Royale A mysterious siren sound has been heard coming from the ‘Evil Lair’ near Snobby Shores in Fortnite Battle Royale, leading players to speculate about the expected missile launch. The v.4.5.0 patch was released on June 27th for Fortnite just as players have been trying to solve the numerous riddles and mysterious countdowns, which is believed to be leading to a missile launch. The mysterious siren sound is undoubtedly linked to whatever developers Epic Games have up their sleeves as they prepare for the end of season four, leading into season five. With the start date for season five released along with the most recent update, it looks as though Epic is now getting the ball rolling on whatever it is they have planned. A number of players reported hearing the siren, posting clips to social media, although it was initially unclear if the reports were fake or just being misheard. Now though some high profile Fortnite players, including OpTic Gaming’s Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, are posting clips of the sound. IT’S HAPPENING!!!!! NEW LAUNCH SOUND??? Randomly happened out of nowhere pic.twitter.com/1NqKCBOnbi — OpTic CouRage (@CouRageJD) June 27, 2018 We just heard a SIREN sound in game?! @FortniteGame — Martyn Littlewood (@InTheLittleWood) June 27, 2018 It is currently unknown what exactly the siren sound means or is leading to, but we will keep you updated as more information comes. For now, the Fortnite conspiracy theorists will be hard at work trying to decipher the sound and deduce its many possible meanings.

Absurd Fortnite glitch leaves games running forever with no storm Epic GamesFortnite’s storm is essential at grouping players together and forcing gunfights, but a new glitch is revealing what the popular battle royale would look like if the storm never rolled in at all. Since its inception, the 100 player mode has always forced players together as the safe section of the map gradually shrinks away. However, a ridiculous new bug has left Fortnite players stranded on the Chapter 2 map with no storm in sight. This one in a million issue revealed an entirely new side of Fortnite. Here’s how things unfolded without a storm closing in around the map. In the midst of a June 1 session, Reddit user ‘woofblah’ noticed something out of the ordinary upon loading into a new match. There was no storm to be seen and no circle on the full map. Even at the furthest boundaries, the full playable space was safe from any kind of damaging storm. As a result, it took them “an hour” of searching and wandering for other players before they eventually gave up. “The clock ticked down and stayed at 0:00, without a single storm zone spawning,” they explained. With the entire map free to explore, players could go wherever they liked and loot every POI at will. Unfortunately, this freedom comes with its own downsides. Enemies could sit and hide away forever without needing to change location due to the storm. This essentially resulted in a never-ending game of hide and seek. After a good amount of time had passed, and the final remaining player remained hidden, woofblah “gave up” and called it a day. Leaving the glitched lobby behind and handing the victory to the camper. With the current season winding down, unexpected changes to the storm have already been discovered in the latest patch. There’s a good chance that this particular occurrence is just a one-off, however. Keep your eyes peeled as you next drop into Fortnite, you never know when a bugged lobby might pop up.

A new trap has been leaked from the latest Fortnite Battle Royale update Dataminers sifting through the files of the v6.0 update have discovered assets for a new ‘Freeze Trap’ that could be making its way to Fortnite Battle Royale. The Freeze Trap was found in the ‘Athena’ directory of the games files, a place where only Fortnite Battle Royale assets are stored. The asset, which is classed as a ‘Rare’ item, is described as a trap which “Hits all enemies on trap when triggered doing small damage and slowing players.” While the files don’t show how much damage the trap does, it does confirm that the item will be able to be placed on any flat surface, as file names featuring the terms floor, wall and ceiling are all spotted in the Athena folder. The item’s description states that it will slow players, however it’s still unclear how long players will actually be hindered by the trap. The use of the term ‘slow’ seems to indicate that the item won’t freeze players in place, but rather suggests that they may still be able to move, just at a greatly reduced speed. Looks like Freeze Traps will be coming to the game! Rarity: Rare Desc: Hits all enemies on trap when triggered doing small damage and slowing players pic.twitter.com/wcPak5ECaj— Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks (@FNBRLeaks) September 28, 2018 The Freeze Trap is an item that already exists in Fortnite’s other mode, Save The World, but this would be the first time it’s made an appearance in the battle royale portion of the game. Of course, as with all leaks, there is no guarantee that the item will appear in the game until it is officially announced by Epic Games.

A Video of the Fully Customization Football World Cup Skins for Fortnite Has Been Leaked Video footage with more information about Fortnite Battle Royale’s football (soccer) World Cup related content has been released and it’s even better than people originally imagined. June 14th will mark the start of the FIFA World Cup when the hosts, Russia, kick off against Saudi Arabia in Group A. The footballing spectacle will last for a month and millions of fans around the world will be heavily invested in the matches and stories coming out of it. Following the release of the V4.4 patch for Fortnite, data miners revealed that some World cup related items and outfits were set to be added to the game in celebration of the tournament. Popular data miners TwoEpicBuddies later revealed that there was likely to be some level of customization involved as there were files for multiple countries included in the release. Little more was known until another well known data miner and leaker, jh9, took to his Instagram account and posted two videos showing the World Cup skins and the new Kick Ups emote. Of greatest interest will be the outfit, as Fortnite players will be able to customize the kit and number so that they are representing the team and footballer of their choice. The new football kit skins are sure to be a massive hit with players all around the world and it just another of Epic Games having its finger on the pulse at all times. Another big positive is that us England fans will now be able to ensure that at least one person in an England kit is still playing in the knockout stages!

A new building may be arriving to Fortnite’s Tilted Towers Epic GamesThe ever-changing Tilted Towers looks set to be receiving an update with the addition of a new building that has been uncovered by Fortnite data miners. One of the most popular landing spots in Fortnite, Tilted Towers hands players the ability to quickly drop into the action, with plenty of loot available in the many buildings that make up the area. During the evolution of the game, the area has received a number of changes – with fans even concerned for the safety of the entirety of Tilted during the meteor strike that kicked off Season 4. Now, data miners have discovered a new building file in the game’s creative mode files that match the Tilted Towers look. Labeled as ‘T_Icon_PG_TS_Tilted_L_Office_k,’ the new structure appears in the game’s prefab list – prefab being pre-constructed buildings that players are able to pop down wherever they choose. Read More: Are Rocket Launchers ruining Fortnite? – It appears that this will be an office building with five floors – all of varying sizes – and rooftop access. The different leveling of the floors makes the building seemingly perfect for action – a staple of Tilted Towers. There also appears to be a single plant growing on the top – something that may resemble a small cactus – and the majority of the structure is seemingly made of stone. The addition of this building is not yet confirmed and nor is a date on which it could be released. Being found in the game files points to its likely addition in the near future, especially considering the construction area that currently resides in Tilted Towers has seen progress over the course of season 7. Whatever happens, be sure to keep your eyes on Dexerto for the all the latest Fortnite news and updates.

A Mysterious Countdown Is Being Broadcasted In Fortnite Battle Royale For Nintendo Switch Users On the Nintendo Switch platform of Fortnite, there is a mysterious television broadcast featuring a mysterious countdown in sizeable red font across the in-game map. Speculation surrounding the countdown knows no bounds, but there is little known about what the timer represents. The developers have used the in-game television sets to relay messages to players in the past, and the strategy has become a go-to for signaling significant changes. At the end of season three, the television sets were used to broadcast an image of a llama and a message in Morse Code that said: “They don’t want us to k….” The countdown on the Nintendo Switch looks eerily similar to the image of the skull appearing across other platforms in the Snobby Shores location. At this time it is unknown if the two events are connected, but it seems as if we will know sooner than later. Less than two days are remaining on the countdown, at the time of writing this. Countdown appeared on Fortnite Nintendo Switch version!! pic.twitter.com/sxQZDR9xe1 — Jeremy (@Jeremyodieyo) June 16, 2018 With the arrival of the ‘Omen’ character in store, the ‘Visitor’ being unlocked by the Blockbuster Challenge, and the ‘Evil Lair’ location housing many of the hop rocks that were previously found around the map it is possible that the countdown is going to involve the massive missile at that location. Another speculation believes it could be a cross-platform announcement coming to Nintendo Switch. We will keep you updated as more develops.

A mysterious prisoner at Fortnite’s Polar Peak is being revealed The snow and ice at Fortnite’s Polar Peak is continuing to melt, and it appears that the thaw will reveal a prisoner who has been held captive at the castle. Polar Peak was added to Fortnite at the beginning of Season 7, and is home to the mysterious Ice King who has appeared in various loading screens throughout the season. On Saturday, January 19, The Ice King broke free of the strange orb he was hiding inside and unleashed a frosty spell on the island that saw the entire map covered in snow. Now, it appears that The Ice King has been keeping a prisoner trapped underneath his castle on Polar Peak, with the large block of ice that had been containing the captive slowly melting away. Now, the block is almost entirely gone and fans of the popular battle royale title have been able to catch a glimpse of the figure that has been chained up underneath the castle. At time of writing, only the arm of the unknown figure is visible, which appears to be made of rock and may be covered in runes which seem to be visible on the hand. While it’s currently unknown who this strange figure is, some Fortnite fans believe that the arm belongs to a skin which will become the Snowfall skin, which will be awarded to players who have completed the game’s Snowfall challenges throughout Season 7. With the ice continuing to melt at Polar Peak, it’s unlikely that we will have wait long before the figure is revealed, possibly in the next Fortnite update, which is slated for Tuesday, January 29.

A Glitch Involving the Port-a-Fort Can Help Stop Thanos in Fortnite The new Limited Time Mode in Fortnite has become a sensation amongst the game’s vast player-base. Called Fortnite x Avengers, the new mode is a mashup of the popular Battle Royale game and the recently released Marvel film In this new LTM, players land on the Fortnite map and search for the Infinity Gauntlet, which is the all-powerful weapon wielded by Thanos, the main villain in . Whoever is able to find and equip the Gauntlet turns into Thanos and gains several powers and an advantage against the remaining players on the map. As Thanos, players can dominate in Fortnite thanks to a flurry of powerful attack moves and an expanded health and shield that can make him difficult to eliminate. However, it appears that there is a glitch in the game involving the Port-a-Fort item that can make defeating the villain a much easier task. YouTube streamer Julie ‘ONE_shot_GURL’ has uploaded a clip in which she throws a Port-a-Fort at Thanos and it essentially freezes him midair, allowing her to shoot him down as he helplessly floats about the metal fort. The new game mode in @FortniteGame is so fun! Be careful if you’re Thanos though and someone throws a port-a-fort at ya… pic.twitter.com/WQeyIVsTJo — Julie (@ONE_shot_GURL) May 9, 2018 It is not yet clear whether this glitch occurs everytime a Port-a-Fort is thrown at Thanos, but perhaps the item is a specific weakness to the all-powerful villain. Another video has surfaced, thanks to Reddit user ‘shujin,’ that shows a player trying to destroy a metal fort with Thanos but badly failing.

A Fortnite fan has created a cool concept skin based on a Marvel character A creative Fortnite fan has designed a brand new concept skin for the popular battle royale game that is sure to give enemies the chills when they see it. The skin, uploaded to the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit by a user named ‘imrobertz1’, is titled ‘ICE BREAKER Z1’, and comes with the tagline ‘Cold as ice’. The concept features a character made entirely of ice, with shards of frozen water spiking out of his shoulders and head, giving the skin a menacing look. However, fans on the Fortnite subreddit have spotted an uncanny likeness between the ICE BREAKER Z1 concept, and Marvel character ‘Iceman’. Iceman is a character from Marvel’s X-Men, and is one of the founding members of the superhero squadron. Iceman has appeared in Marvel comics and movies, however fans believe that this concept skin is based on the Iceman character seen in Marvel’s popular mobile game, Contest of Champions. concept for a new item called the Boogie Bomber, which would act similarly to a scorestreak from Call of Duty.Unfortunately, this awesome ICE BREAKER Z1 skin is just a fan-created concept, and one that closely resembles a copyrighted Marvel character, so it’s unlikely we will see it in Fortnite Battle Royale any time soon.

“A game that broke the standards” – Ninja’s Happy Birthday Message to Fortnite Fortnite’s biggest star, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, has wished happy birthday to the game that helped him become one of the most recognizable faces in all of gaming. Epic Games is currently celebrating one year since the release of Fortnite with various birthday challenges, items and more. Ninja took to Twitter to say that he feels blessed to be in the position that he is currently in, saying that he “could not have done it without a game that broke the standards”. We hit Those! I just want wish a Happy Birthday to Fortnite! 1 year old today and I am super blessed to be in the position I am in right now, and I could not have done it without a game that broke the standards. @FortniteGame pic.twitter.com/VwcqdJ8MW3 — Ninja (@Ninja) July 25, 2018 The Twitch superstar’s popularity skyrocketed in 2018 alongside Fortnite Battle Royale, which has quickly become one of most successful games in history. While the Battle Royale version of the game was not released until September of 2017, the original Save The World title came out on July 25, hence the birthday celebrations. Widely regarded as one of the best Fortnite players on the planet, Ninja is now the biggest streamer on Twitch, boasting almost 10 million followers. His YouTube channel has also blown up, with over 15 million subscribers. Ninja has played Fortnite with numerous high profile celebrities, most notably Drake, and even won the $3 million Fortnite Pro-Am event in June alongside American music producer Marshmello. While Ninja was already a popular streamer before his switch to Fortnite, it is understandable that he feels grateful for everything that the incredibly popular game has helped him to achieve since its release.

A demonstration showing why Fortnite’s grappler should be vaulted Parallax, a Fortnite pro for 100 Thieves, took complaints about the grappler to the next level and went to the Playground to show why he thinks Fortnite needs to vault the item. In the playground, he lined up the four items that cause a player to fly through the air: the shockwave grenade, launch pad, bouncer and grappler. From his research, it’s clear the grappler moves the player the furthest and at the fastest speed. However, there are some distinct differences between the grappler and those other items. Read More: Competitive Fortnite Player Shows the Power of the Grappler With Impressive Killing Spree – To start, the grappler requires a ledge to hit while the other three can be used without a structure nearby. For those who are talking about Bouncers being OP compared to the grappler, here’s a comparison. Shockwave Grenade = 6 stories Grappler = 8 stories Launch Pad = 6 stories Bouncer = 3 storiesThe grappler travels almost 3 times as far as a bouncer at double the speed. pic.twitter.com/m4YAoRJdJl — Parallax (@100T_Parallax) September 29, 2018 But, more importantly, the other three items negate fall damage. The bouncer, shockwave grenades and launch pad are all often used to get out of fights and away from a structure, and they protect the player from taking damage. The grappler, on the other hand, is usually an offensive weapon, unless there is a convenient ledge nearby. The grappler already has been called out by other streamers for the item’s ability to be spammed to reverse high ground. The item may not need to be vaulted entirely. A simple delay between uses, or a harder limit on the total uses, maybe the only nerf needed to make the item balanced.

A fan recreated the TechnoViking Video in Fortnite and it’s perfect Almost every one of Fortnite’s emotes is a homage to a movie, song or moment in popular culture, but sometimes, the Fortnite audience pays homage back. The year was 2000 and the fourth annual “FuckParade” was set to begin in Berlin, Germany. The parade, a chance for the techno community to get together and celebrate their music, turned into one of the earliest viral videos on the internet when a massive dude took center screen and proceeded to lay down a signature dance. He is now known as the TechnoViking. Almost everyone on the internet has seen that video, but the dance experienced a recent resurgence in popularity when Fortnite added it to the game in September. The top comment on the video above was from FaZe Dirty: “aaand now it’s known as the Fortnite dance.” Just because some people in the younger generation don’t know about TechnoViking, doesn’t mean the reference was lost on the community. Youtuber LaffenGas paid homage to the original video with this recreation that sees the Viking do his signature dance from the techno club, to the cube, all the way to the Viking ship. The video starts with the Viking sternly turning down a couple music choices from the DJ, including the old music. In the original video, that stern look is aimed at another person at the parade who had just rather aggressively bumped someone else in the group.

A New Competitive Playlist Could be Coming to Fortnite Battle Royale Data mining of the latest Fortnite Battle Royale patch, V4.2.0, has revealed that a competitive playlist could be coming to the game in the near future. After releasing in 2017, Fortnite Battle Royale’s popularity quickly skyrocketed in popularity and soon took PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ spot as the biggest battle royale title around. The Fortnite Battle Royale community is constantly growing and with that growth, naturally, came the growth of a competitive community as the top players look for ways to prove who is best. Competitive Fortnite Battle Royale cannot currently compare to competitive versions of other games as the lack of a competitive playlist or custom matches makes it difficult to play directly against your opponents. That could all be about to change, though, as known data miner Richtoveen has discovered a new folder in the V4.2 files called “comp” with a file named “Playlist_Comp_Solo” inside. While this is unlikely to be related to private matches for competitive play, it could possibly hint towards an integrated matchmaking system coming soon. Some of the biggest esports like League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, and even Call of Duty feature some form of ranked play which can serve as an introduction to competitive play. A competitive playlist for Fortnite Battle Royale would help to separate players by skill and also be evidence of Epic Games considering Fortnite as a potential major player in the world of esports. Epic Games have not commented on the find and there is, of course, no guarantee that ranked play will appear any time soon, if at all.

A clever Fortnite fan may have found a way to improve the Mounted Turret An ingenious Fortnite fan may have found a way to make the Mounted Turret less overpowered, instead of removing it from the game entirely. The item was added in the V6.30 update for the game as an item, allowing players to place it down and sit inside it to fire heavy rounds of ammunition at enemies in a short space of time. Players of the game immediately found the item to be extremely powerful, and began to call for the Mounted Turret to be placed into the Vault and removed from the game. However, a Fortnite fan on Reddit named alwinaind believes he may have come up with a solution that could mean we see less of the dangerous item on the map in the future, by making a simple change to how the item is classified. Read More: Fortnite stream sniper explains how he manages to jump into Ninja’s games Currently, the Mounted Turret is classified as a trap item, meaning it doesn’t take up a space in player’s inventories when it is picked up. If the Turret was changed to become an actual weapon, players would be forced to choose whether they wanted to carry the item, but would be forced to drop another weapon such as a sniper rifle, or drop consumable items like bandages or shield potions. Unfortunately, while this idea could work, there are currently no plans for Epic Games to make the change to this ultra-powerful item. The developers have already released two updates in an attempt to nerf the Mounted Turret, but players are still unhappy. Professional players such as FaZe Clan’s Tfue and 100 Thieves player Parallax have both called for the item to be removed from the game, with Tfue calling labeling the Mounted Turret as: “One of the dumbest things Epic Games have added to the game, no joke.”

A Coin Flip Decided the Final Qualifier Spot at the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish A coin flip was used to determine who won the last qualifying spot in Grand Final of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish at PAX West. This weekend saw hundreds of competitors taking to the Battle Bus, in an attempt to qualify for Week 8 of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish. With 33 players qualifying each day, it was a tie at the bottom of the standings that grabbed everyone’s attention. With The_Real_Cryohme and Colton both level on points in joint 33rd, a coin flip was used to determine who would take the last spot in Monday’s Grand Final, with The_Real_Cryohme winning the coin flip and progressing. The coin flip, which was worth $5000 to the winner, was used due to Colton and Cryohme being level on all aspects. While the competition has a number tiebreakers in effect, both players were tied in Victory Royales, total eliminations and average placement so none could be used. Spectators of the Summer Skirmish believed that 99 was the limit for players competing in the Grand Final due to the 100th spot being occupied by the Spectator Cam, however that has been confirmed to not be the case. Colton, however, will still not be allowed to take that last position, as Epic claim it would be unfair to the other players who placed 34th – even though none of them were actually tied for 33rd spot originally. In the aftermath, fans felt that a coin flip was an unfair way to eliminate a player with massive amounts of money on the line. In a comment on Reddit, Esports Developer Colin ‘SkyzYn’ Fogle confirmed that while the scenario was unprecedented, Epic had “communicated the tiebreaker order repeatedly through broadcasts, rule-sets and verbally to competitors at the PAX West Summer Skirmish” Fogle also confirmed that Epic Games weren’t happy about having to use the coin flip, and stated; Going forward we will look at some additional ways to break ties, although we are currently a bit limited. One common suggestion is various types of ‘Damage Dealt’ stats, but that stat is currently not reliable and thoroughly tested enough to determine placement. While it’s good news that Epic intend to add additional tie-break options, this has unfortunately come too late for Colton.

A bug with Fortnite’s planes renders them completely useless on console Epic GamesA bug with Fortnite’s X-4 Stormwing attack planes makes them extremely powerful on PC but completely unusable on the console version of the game. Since their addition to the Battle Royale back at the start of season seven, the Stormwing’s have caused plenty of problems for all players, despite being nerfed pretty heavily just over a week after their release. Now, they may need more changes made to them as players have begun noticing a huge difference in how they operate on the PC version of the game compared to the console counterpart. In a post to the FortniteBR subreddit, user Skidsy19 demonstrated the difference between just how accurate the Stormwing’s machine gun is on PC compared to a console, in this case, a PlayStation 4, by shooting rounds of bullets directly at a target in Tilted Towers. On PC, the machine gun pretty much fires wherever the on-screen crosshair is pointed – in a laser-like fashion, without much change of direction. However, on the console, the gun’s bullets don’t follow the crosshair and seemingly have a mind of their own, going wherever they please. (if the below video does not load, click the post to go directly to Reddit) As Skidsy19 points out, plenty of players are unaware of the difference as they don’t play the game on both platforms – but for those that do, it’s a problem. With Fortnite Season 8 on the horizon, and so to the potential for the Stormwings to be vaulted, it remains to be seen if a change will be either way to address the bug. Apex Legends, they may want to address a number of big issues within their own title.Keep your eyes to Dexerto for all the breaking news and updates about Fortnite.

A Chinese New Year event could be coming to Fortnite Chinese New Year is just around the corner on February 5, so, could that mean that Fortnite will once again get an in-game event to mark the celebrations? All around the world, Chinese people are gearing up for the New Year celebrations to usher in the Year of the Pig. However, there is one place left asking if they’ll be having a party too – the Fortnite Battle Royale island. Epic Games have been on point with their limited time events recently with the Battle Royale title so it would make sense for them to have something planned for the massive celebration that is Chinese New Year – and possible leaks suggest that they could be doing just that. According to supposed leaks from FireMonkeyFN on Twitter, a video has appeared on the Chinese Fortnite website – fn.qq.com – with a scene representing a Chinese New Years-like celebration. The video loop, which only lasts for a few seconds, shows a number of different skins lighting multiple fireworks and celebrating the new year at Lucky Landing – an appropriate location on the Battle Royale map for a Chinese New Years party. I’m going to post a few images and such that I find on the Chinese fortnite site, as some of those are pretty nice, such as this one! pic.twitter.com/yh25LK67L8 — FireMonkey / The Fortnite Guy (@FireMonkeyFN) February 4, 2019 However, it’s unconfirmed if Epic Games is set to add a Chinese New Years celebration event. The game’s popularity in China would suggest that something may be planned for that market but a wider party, maybe less so. With the leak of the photo and the supposed addition of the new ‘Bottle Rockets’ item, it’s very possible that an event may come – with the Bottle Rockets representing a new type of Firework for the party. Until Epic makes some sort of an announcement either way, keep your eyes locked on Dexerto for all the Fortnite breaking news and updates.

Fortnite pro 72hrs mid-game controller swap shows why aim assist is OP Twitter: Team Liquid / Epic GamesThomas ‘72hrs’ Mulligan has demonstrated why Fortnite players are flocking to the sticks in droves, pulling off a mid-match swap from mouse and keyboard to controller to nail kills thanks to the game’s “awesome” aim assist. Controller Fortnite players have been criticized recently over the discovery of how broken the battle royale’s aim assist function apparently is. Breso, a controller player from Australia, recently took home the Fortnite Australian Open Summer Smash while using the hand-held controls. His efforts were put down by other pros, who blamed the aim assist controller players are given for their rise through competitive Fortnite. Long-time mouse and keyboard players like Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf have shown how easy it is to make the shift, going from dominating the World Cup on the keys to smashing casuals on the sticks. However, the award for the most egregious swap from the traditional PC setup to the console-favored remote goes to 72hrs, who showed off the difference between mouse and keyboard and controller in a matter of seconds. Firing down on an enemy from afar using his M&KB, 72hrs missed all but one shot as his bloom caused him to whiff. Not to be let down in the middle of a gunfight, he crouched, and swapped to the controller laying on his desk. The change in fortune was immediate. Within 10 shots, 72hrs knocked down the enemy, dinking them numerous times on the controller. All he could do was laugh as his swap to controller showed how powerful it is compared to mouse and keyboard, and he joked about how “awesome” it is. “Dude, I full bloom for like 30 shots [on mouse and keyboard], don’t hit a shot. Plug in the controller, triple dink. That’s awesome,” he said with a tinge of sarcasm. Other players have made the jump to the so-called Fortnite “controller army” after realizing the power of the game’s aim assist. Myth made the switch to the sticks at the start of 2020, but returned to the keys in January. However, some players have out-right outlawed it, like Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. The face of Mixer mentioned back in December that controller players shouldn’t be allowed to play on PC because “[they don’t] need to have any aim whatsoever.” 72hrs’ antics weren’t enough to net him a win that game, as he finished third. It did, however, show something needs to change regarding aim assist, or the gap between M&KB and controller players will just keep growing.

7 beginner tips to get started in LEGO Fortnite Epic Games/LEGONew to LEGO Fortnite and feeling a bit overwhelmed? Fear not! We’ve got you covered with these 7 beginner tips to help you kickstart your journey. Fortnite’s ecosystem is expanding at an accelerated rate now that Chapter 5 has begun. New UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) islands were introduced in Chapter 4, which significantly altered the Fortnite Creative experience for players. Following the conclusion of the Big Bang and the start of Chapter 5, Epic Games has at last released the highly-anticipated LEGO Fortnite game mode, which consists of a sandbox and survival adventure for players, similar to Minecraft. Although the game has now been released and players are busy creating their own worlds, if you too are interested in joining the action, the following seven tips will help you get started with LEGO Fortnite. 7 tips for beginners before playing LEGO Fortnite 1. Learn how to craft items In a survival game like LEGO Fortnite, crafting is at the heart of its gameplay. Just like Minecraft, you’ll need to gather resources like Wood, Granite, Wool, Silk, and much more to craft items. Just to get started with crafting, you’d need a Crafting Table which requires resources as well. Once you have that set up, you can craft a Pickaxe, Sword, Crossbow, Shield, and other items to aid your survival. 2. Learn how to build – after all it’s Fortnite! Once you’re done with your crafting skill, next up is building, which is the core fundamental of Fortnite. The sooner you learn to build structures, you’ll be able to build your own house and more with ease, just like you would in The Sims. Since the entire concept of LEGO bricks is to snap them in place and build figures, in Fortnite you need materials to build structures. Similarly, combining the best of both worlds, building in LEGO Fortnite is extremely satisfying as you’d see the blocks snap perfectly to your structure’s blueprint. Start with walls and a small shack, then make your way up to fences, larger houses, etc. You can also break down existing builds to gather resources to make new structures. 3. Know your Food and how to cook it As you continue to thrive in your survival journey across LEGO Fortnite, your energy level and health bar can get low. And that is when the hunger strikes for food. Around your world, you’ll come across a bunch of things to eat, from Raspberry and Pumpkin to Meat and Eggs. Either pet an animal to get items like Milk and Eggs or slay them with your sword to harvest meat from them. You can also plant seeds to grow food. Now that you have raw food in your inventory, craft a Grill to cook it into a delicious meal that will regenerate your health bar even further. 4. Start your journey towards building a Village Building a Village is the first step in your LEGO Fortnite journey to produce a living ecosystem in your world. Start by creating a Village Shrine from your inventory through which you’ll be able to invite NPCs as your villagers and assign them Jobs. While you cannot be on a constant grind to harvest materials or building structures at the same place, you can station your villagers and assign them different jobs to do it for you. So when you’re back from all the exploration, your villagers will have harvested enough wood and food for you to survive easily. 5. Adapt to survival as soon as you can As LEGO Fortnite might be all fun and colors, in the end it is a survival game where you’ll have limited tools. Make your supplies count, keep a watch on the durability of your tools and weapons, and fortify your village. However, you also need to be skillful in crafting weapons wisely and put them to correct use to defeat dangerous creatures, right from the ghosts to crabs or even the wild wolves. Take your time getting accustomed to a Crossbow and Sword as these two weapons are your best bet for survival in LEGO Fortnite. 6. Invite friends to help build your world As exploring solo in peace brings its own fun and solace in LEGO Fortnite, partying up with friends and embarking on a journey together makes it even more exciting. Since you’ll be limited to gathering a specific number of resources and building structures alone, being in a team with your friends will get things done around the world faster. You can invite your Fortnite friends to your world and make them Keyholders so they can visit your world and complete things for you while you’re offline. However, it is advisable to share it with trustworthy friends. 7. Manage inventory wisely LEGO Fortnite limits you to only 24 inventory slots. However, if you have multiple quantities of the same item, you can merge them and stack them up in one slot as a bundle. But if you run out of inventory slots while carrying crucial items, you can always build a chest that will give you extra space to store your items. You’ll also be able to find chests around the world in case you need to empty a slot on your way. So there you have it – that’s everything you need to know before you play LEGO Fortnite.

7 best vaulted Fortnite weapons that need to make a comeback Epic GamesFrom the Pump Shotgun to the Star Wars Lightsaber, here are seven of the best vaulted weapons that need to return to Fortnite. Epic Games regularly updates its popular battle royale with new vehicles, epic crossover skins, significant map changes, and of course exciting weapons to keep things fresh for players each season. But when the devs give with one hand, they take away with the other. New weapons mean old ones get taken away – a practice referred to as vaulting – and it’s a continuous source of unrest among Fortnite players. Sometimes vaulting can be for the benefit of the game, helping to level the playing field when certain weapons are too overpowered. Other times, they’re simply not being used enough to keep them around. But when your favorite weapon gets vaulted it can be incredibly frustrating. We’ve rounded up seven of the most-loved vaulted weapons that need to make a comeback in the future. Chapter 2, Season 6, maybe? Pump Shotgun Chapter 2, Season 5 was a hit with Fortnite fans, and managed to tempt back plenty of gamers who’d previously given up on the franchise. But one change that didn’t go down too well was the removal of the Pump Shotgun. Read More: How to get Fortnite’s The Big Chill launcher – The fan-favorite weapon has been vaulted and unvaulted more times than we can count, with the explanation being that it’s used too often for eliminations. The Charge Shotgun is acting as a stand-in for Season 5, but it’s just not the same. Bring the Pump Shotgun back please, Epic. Stark Industries Energy Rifle Chapter 2, Season 4 of Fortnite brought a huge number of Marvel skins, points of interest, and weapons to The Island. One of our favorites was the Stark Industries Energy Rifle, which features a sleek Iron Man-inspired design and has different stats depending on whether you’re aiming or hip-firing. Given that the Energy Rifle was so heavily linked to the Marvel-themed season, it’s unlikely we’ll see it make a comeback soon. But there’s always potential, especially if another Marvel crossover happens in the future. Light Machine Gun One of the major benefits of the Light Machine Gun is its ability to take down enemy structures with ease thanks to its high magazine capacity, making it a great addition to your lineup when taking on squads. Unfortunately, like the Pump Shotgun, the Light Machine Gun is another weapon that was vaulted in Chapter 2, Season 5. Fingers crossed it comes back soon. Lightsaber They might not be the most useful weapons in Fortnite as they require you to get up-close and personal with opponents to deal any damage, but there’s no denying that running around The Island with a Lightsaber that can fend off bullets is an epic prospect – especially if you’ve got a Rey or Finn skin to elevate the scene. Lightsabers were first introduced as part of a Star Wars crossover, and later made a brief reappearance to celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4, 2020. Hopefully, they’ll make another comeback soon – and bring some more Star Wars skins along with them. Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle Assault Rifles are always going to be near the top of any Fortnite weapons ranking, and for good reason; they’re a reliable choice that can fend off both close-range and long-distance opponents. One of the best in class is the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle. Read More: How to get Fortnite’s Dragon’s Breath Sniper – The gun has a headshot multiplier of x2.0 and a scope that magnifies by 2x, already making it a formidable weapon. But the best feature is the thermal sight, which highlights not only enemies but nearby loot containers too. Sadly, it’s been vaulted for a while now. Mounted Turret Technically, the Mounted Turret is classified as a trap item, but it’s a gun that shoots bullets so we’re including it on our list. While it comes with the risk of overheating, the turret also has unlimited ammo, making it a formidable offense in Fortnite. It’s a whole lot of fun to use, and the fact that anyone can take command of it once it’s placed only makes it more chaotic. It was overpowered and glitchy, so we can see why it was removed, but we’d still love to see it back on The Island soon. Rapid Fire SMG Capable of a whopping 255 damage per second, the Rapid Fire SMG certainly lives up to its name. It’s one of the best close-range weapons in Fortnite history — even popular streamer SypherPK called it the “most underrated” gun in the game. Sadly the Rapid Fire SMG remains vaulted for now, but as it’s not linked to a specific theme or season like other weapons in the game, there’s every chance we’ll see it return in the future.

6 Fortnite weapons that need to be vaulted in Chapter 2, Season 2 Epic GamesFortnite is arguably the most popular battle royale title in gaming history, a cultural phenomenon that nobody could have foreseen becoming the powerhouse that it is now. Epic have done so much right in their development and continued support of Fortnite, creating a game that was enjoyed on a near-universal basis, no matter the demographic. However, that doesn’t mean they have made the perfect game – there have been several additions and features that have been polarizing among the community, such as X-4 Stormwing planes, the B.R.U.T.E. Mech suits and the Infinity Blade. Of course, weapons are a major part of any battle royale title, but that doesn’t mean that every gun in the game should be in it, or that they are powerful enough to make a difference when in the heat of battle – searching for that Victory Royale. So, let’s take a look at some of the weapons that need to be removed from Fortnite for Chapter 2 when Season 2 is launched. Common/Uncommon Burst Assault Rifle While the Burst Assault Rifle was pretty strong when it first returned to Fortnite, it has slowly tapered off and become somewhat of a nuisance to find and use. The bloom has made it extremely difficult to aim, especially in comparison with the standard Assault Rifle, essentially nullifying the point of carrying a common or uncommon Burst AR. It makes no sense to have the weapon in the game still, especially since it is nowhere near as good as the weapons at a similar level in its class. Rocket Launcher It is pretty surprising that there isn’t more uproar about the use of Rocket Launchers in Fortnite. It’s hard to argue that they’re a fair addition to the game, and it’s often supremely difficult to counter them in any way. The game would be far more enjoyable if you didn’t have to accept that you’re probably going to die when an enemy pulls out a launcher, and probably balances Fortnite a little more, but are Fortnite players really looking for balance? Legendary Pistol If you don’t use the Legendary Pistol, you’re missing out big-time. This weapon has no bloom and shoots like a laser, as well as dealing some serious damage if you have a half-decent trigger-finger. Although later in the game you might want to swap it out for an SMG to take down enemy builds, the Legendary Pistol is absurd and needs to be fixed – if not removed entirely. Bandage Bazooka Not sure if a two-slot weapon or item is necessarily a bad thing, although in most cases the Bandage Bazooka simply isn’t worth carrying. It’s more an item that you grab to quickly heal and then drop it again – so what makes it worth two slots? There is surely never a point where you would choose to carry this over a Med Kit, or maybe even bandages since they only take up one slot, essentially rendering the Bandage Bazooka useless. Harpoon Gun The Harpoon Gun is an extremely useful weapon to have as it is so multi-functional. As well as going fishing with it and picking up some great loot and heals, the Harpoon Gun also does 75 damage to opponents as well as making it easier to take enemy walls. The issue with the Harpoon gun is this versatility. It is essentially a shotgun that can break builds and improve your inventory as you go, rolling several weapons into one. If it were just a fishing tool, or just a weapon, it would probably be alright, but in its current state it has to go. Pump Shotgun Perhaps a divisive decision, but the Pump Shotgun has been a nightmare to use in Chapter 2 so far. Issues with ghost shots have persisted for as long as we’ve had the Pump, and it simply can’t compete with the Tactical Shotgun unless you hit a perfect shot on your enemy – which isn’t all that easy to do. A fire rate increase could make the Pump Shotgun more viable, but right now there’s no valid reason for someone to pick up a Pump over a Tactical version in most scenarios. While a lot of these weapons could maybe be fixed with a small buff or nerf here and there, that doesn’t seem to be happening. It might be best to vault these weapons in favor of bringing back other items that may be better and preferred by players. With Season 2 of Chapter 2 growing ever closer, players should expect to see some big changes, including the addition and exclusion of weapons, come to Fortnite when the new season starts.

5 things we need to see in Fortnite Chapter 3: Spider-Man, new map & more Epic GamesWith Fortnite Chapter 3 just around the corner, we’re looking at the features it needs for it to be a success, from a brand new map to an epic Marvel crossover that’s long overdue. Epic Games took Fortnite players by surprise when they announced that Chapter 2 Season 8 won’t be followed by Season 9. Instead, the battle royale will go straight into Chapter 3 following the upcoming ‘The End’ live event on December 4, 2021. While new seasons are always something to look forward to, a new chapter means even bigger changes are ahead. The jump from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 was a huge one, so this is definitely an exciting time to be a Fortnite fan. So far, Epic have been keeping details about Fortnite Chapter 3 under lock and key, so all we have to on right now are rumors and speculation. Here are five features we need to see for Chapter 3 to be a success with players. 1. A brand new (and exciting) Fortnite map An entirely new map is exactly what Fortnite needs to make the game feel fresh and exciting again, but it can’t just be a rehash of the first two chapters. It must be unique to draw players back, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that Epic Games deliver something really special. Previous seasons of Fortnite have featured snow-covered areas, desert landscapes, and even water flooding the entire map (briefly) in Chapter 2 Season 3. But recently, the map has been pretty much a sea of green, and POIs like Retail Row, Lazy Lake, and Pleasant Park don’t have much to distinguish them from each other. Read More: What is the rarest skin in Fortnite? – Ideally, the map in Fortnite Chapter 3 will feature multiple biomes that really affect gameplay, as well as POIs that stand out from one another. One of the best ways to achieve this would be to introduce more significant mid-season map changes, which is another thing recent seasons have lacked. 2. More weird weapons and quirky items One thing that sets Fortnite apart from other battle royales like Warzone and Apex Legends is that it’s not afraid to embrace its quirky, cartoonish side. We’ve seen this with items like the Snowy Flopper and melee weapons like Lightsabers, but not so much in recent seasons. Although the loot pool in Chapter 2 Season 8 is arguably the best (and most balanced) it’s ever been, it is missing out on some fun. Give us some more wacky inventions like the Inflate-A-Bull, which is probably the last truly bizarre addition we saw in Fortnite, and keep things weird in Chapter 3, please. 3. The ability to slide Here’s a better look at the upcoming sliding mechanic (thanks to @gameshed_ for getting me the image). Here’s what we know so far: – You can shoot while sliding – Surface angle & type will affect the speed – 2 Seconds delay between each slide – FOV increases by 15 when sliding pic.twitter.com/m0INhE322r— HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 29, 2021 A feature that’s still missing from Fortnite after all these years is the ability to slide, which is a mechanic that’s pretty much taken for granted in most other battle royale titles. It might seem like a simple addition, but this is something players have been waiting a long time for. According to prominent leaker HYPEX, Epic have been quietly working on a slide feature, although it’s unknown if this is a proper addition or simply a bonus effect provided by an item. Either way, it’s something that’s long overdue, and we’d love to see it debut in Fortnite Chapter 3. 4. More virtual concerts from global superstars Fortnite fans are used to seasons ending with big live events, but it’s the unexpected mid-season events that are often the most exciting. Chapter gave us the excellent Rift Tour, which blended Fortnite lore with an Ariana Grande concert, and more of that would be incredible. So who could headline the next one? Well, it was previously revealed that Epic Games were attempting to get Lady Gaga to appear in the game, but if she’s not available, then artists like Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, and The Weeknd who already have dance emotes in Fortnite would be incredible. 5. A Spider-Man crossover (finally!) Now that Naruto has finally appeared in Fortnite, the next big crossover on pretty much every player’s wishlist is Spider-Man. Almost every major Marvel superhero has appeared in the battle royale so far, from Wolverine to Black Widow, but Peter Parker remains strangely absent. It would make a lot of sense for it to happen now: With the new sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home scheduled to hit cinemas around the world in December, the launch of Chapter 3 would be the perfect time for the beloved web-slinger to appear in the new Battle Pass. Regardless of what you think about Fortnite’s seemingly endless collaborations, getting Spider-Man to visit the Island would be a total win. While we patiently wait to see if that will happen, here’s everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 so far.

5 things we now know about Fortnite’s Travis Scott event Epic GamesWhile it took a long time for Epic Games to confirm the Travis Scott event in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2, here’s five things we now know about the celebration. As seasoned veterans of the battle royale title will know, in-game events always draw mass attention on the island. Whether it be something live like a monster going toe-to-toe with a huge robot, or something like a themed crossover section of the map, this type of thing always appeals to the mainstream. That’s exactly what Fortnite needs right now, too, as a number of the game’s biggest content creators and pro players have spoken out about the need for change. Not to mention #RipFortnite trending on social media during the month of April. Now we know that American rapper Travis Scott will be the star of the show this time around, fans will be hoping for something as exciting as Marshmello’s event – hosted back in February 2019, at Pleasant Park. It’s impossible to say whether or not this one will be as big as that, but let’s run through the things we do know. A private island awaits Pleasant Park was a perfect venue for Marshmello’s event. There was a packed crowd standing around in a field almost like a real festival experience. That type of event would be just what many players will be looking for right now, as mass gatherings like that aren’t really possible given the current global situation. However, this time the setting is going to be quite different – a private island. Based on the outskirts of Sweaty Sands, the Travis Scott stage has been progressively built over a number of days on a small island. Fortnite leakers have also found some of the last pieces of the puzzle, following the rollout of the v12.41 update, as seen above. Clearly, this is going to make for quite the party experience. Hopefully, just as good as last time – which drew a record amount of concurrent players. Multiple shows & new track We only really have one other event to use as a measuring stick in terms of what to expect from this event, and based on the Marshmello concert you might have thought it would be the same deal this time. Wrong. Epic have confirmed that there will be five shows held during the dates of April 23-25, with Cactus Jack himself performing a brand new track. Here’s the full schedule. As well as that, there will be “other-worldly experience inspired by Cactus Jack’s creations,” for people to check out on the island. So, make sure you log in during the event to see what that entails. Listening to his music, new and old, isn’t the only thing players have to think about over the two days, either, which brings us onto our next point. Themed skins and cosmetics When you hear about new events in Fortnite, the second thought for most will be the different skins and cosmetics like the gliders and pickaxes that will also be included. If you’re one of those people, you won’t be disappointed this time around – based on content that’s been discovered by data miners. As seen below, a number of never-before-seen character outfits will be landing in-game real soon, including a shirtless version of Travis himself and his Astro Jack character. There are also some gliders and pickaxes to look out for, too, as seen below, with emotes also being leaked ahead of time. Leaked images courtesy of Lucas7yoshi. Everything else pic.twitter.com/GU1YpEz3Dc — Lucas7yoshi – FESTIVAL ARC??? (@Lucas7yoshi) April 21, 2020 There’s more where that came from, too, as seen in our leaked skins and cosmetics article. Chances are, thousands of players will be dropping into the game on the days the event is being held, and many will be coming fully equipped with these sets. So, will you? Astronomical Fortnite challenges Not only will there be skins, cosmetics, as well as other bits and pieces for players to wear in-game – but the will also be a set of challenges to complete. Just like the Deadpool event, a set of challenges have been themed around Travis Scott, with a leaked list having been revealed ahead of schedule. These are called the “Astronomical” challenges, and the devil really is in the detail as they give away some of the other features the event will hold. As seen in a tweet from FortTory, in the rewards there’s a new spray, loading screen, and other cosmetics. Travis Scott challenges! pic.twitter.com/6ymxoiGw37 — FortTory – Fortnite leaks & news (@FortTory) April 21, 2020 The emote unlocked for finishing these tasks successfully has also been leaked, which will allow players to break out a microphone and throw it over their heads for a few moments. Based on the rewards that will be up for grabs, it looks like this set will be very popular indeed. First-look at Travis Scott’s stage in Fortnite Last, but not least, is what the stage will look like. Data miner FortTory has also revealed a detailed look of what a completed stage is going to look like. Not only is this stage set to appear on the island, but a number of huge golden heads have appeared around the location, too. These will most likely be part of the challenge list. So, there you have it! Those are the five things we now know about the Travis Scott event in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2. Those looking to get involved with the action, as stated earlier, will have to be playing Fortnite between the dates of April 23-25 – with multiple shows to check out. Epic are also giving out a brand new glider for everybody who watches along, and you can find more information about that here. If you grab any nice snaps of you and your friends during the event, feel free to tweet them right to us @Dexerto. Until then, just dance.

5 Star Wars skins Fortnite Season 5 should add next Disney / Epic GamesWith the introduction of The Mandalorian to Fortnite Season 5, there’s a very real chance more Star Wars characters could be on the way. The Star Wars universe first crossed over with Fortnite back in 2019. To promote the release of The Rise of Skywalker, character skins including Finn and Rey were added, as well as a number of items and cosmetics based on the franchise. Now, Chapter 2 Season 5 of the game has arrived and brought with it another Star Wars crossover based on The Mandalorian, the hit Disney+ spin-off series that’s taken the world by storm. Epic have teased “even more hunters from the realities beyond” will join Season 5, which has got fans speculating on who exactly they could be. With Mando and Baby Yoda already appearing, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to expect more Star Wars favorites to join the fight. This seems even more feasible given Fortnite’s ongoing partnerships with Disney, who now own Star Wars. After a whole season dedicated to Marvel superheroes and villains, players can also get two months free Disney+ for making a purchase in the Item Store. Given the uncertain future of Star Wars movies, it’s likely any new additions would also be taken from The Mandalorian – or one of the other upcoming Disney+ series that are in the works. As fans will know, there’s plenty of exciting characters to choose from. Ahsoka Tano There was an incredible amount of buzz surrounding The Clone Wars character Ahsoka Tano’s live-action debut in The Mandalorian, and the show more than lived up to the hype. Fans were unanimous in their praise for Rosario Dawson’s portrayal, and they’re looking forward to seeing more of her. With so much excitement surrounding the character, it seems obvious that if any current Star Wars character will be added to Fortnite in the near future, it’s Ahsoka. Boba Fett Another character who’s caused waves in the Star Wars universe of late is Boba Fett. After months of teasing and speculation, he briefly appeared in the first episode of The Mandalorian Season 2, and it got fans from all corners of the galaxy talking. It shows that fans are still craving more from the bounty hunter. Even better, he’s visually very similar to The Mandalorian himself, Din Djarin, so it shouldn’t be that hard to create. Make it happen, Epic. Bo-Katan Kryze Just like Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan Kryze is another animated Star Wars character who made the jump to live-action in The Mandalorian Season 2. There might not have been quite as much hype surrounding her appearance, but she’s still a beloved character among longtime fans. We sadly only got to see her for one episode of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian – here’s hoping we get to see her again in the Fortnite universe. Maybe as part of a Clone Wars celebration? Obi-Wan Kenobi With a highly-anticipated new Disney+ spin-off series in the works, it would make a lot of sense for Obi-Wan Kenobi to get his own skin in Fortnite. There’ll be renewed interest in the character, and he’s already one of the franchise’s most iconic Jedi warriors. This one could be a while off, depending on when Obi-Wan’s spin-off series debuts (it’s currently expected to start filming in January 2021), but Fortnite could surprise us by releasing it early to build up some hype for the series. Darth Vader If there’s one Star Wars character that would cause a meltdown for Fortnite fans, it’s probably Darth Vader. He’s also arguably one of the most iconic villains in cinematic history, so a Fortnite skin would appeal to more than just fans of the franchise. While the idea of Vader in Fortnite would’ve sounded like fanfiction when the game first launched, it now seems like a very real possibility, thanks to Disney and Fortnite’s huge collaborations. One fan has even created a pretty epic concept design for what Vader could look like in the game. Excitement for Season 5 of Fortnite is currently at fever pitch, and we’re keeping you in the loop with the latest news, guides, and updates over on our dedicated Fortnite page.

5 things we learned from Fortnite Chapter 2 map leak Epic GamesThe leaking of “Fortnite Chapter 2″ ahead of its scheduled release has sparked a lot of excitement and questions, so let’s take a look at some of the definitive things we learned from the massive leak. The Fortnite community has been buzzing with anticipation after a potential image of the upcoming season appeared in the Italian version of the iOS App Store on October 11. The image included a thumbnail of three characters overlooking a never-before-seen terrain, with the game’s title emblazoned up top, followed by “Chapter 2.” After seeing this, most fans are convinced that a brand new map is coming to Fortnite, but a closer look at the image reveals some more clues about what’s to come in the next season of the popular battle royale title. With that in mind, here’s a list of five things we have learned from this Chapter 2 leak: There’s finally a new map! Assuming that this leak is legitimate, then there’s probably no way to doubt now that a new map is indeed finally coming to Fortnite. This is arguably the biggest change Epic Games could have made, considering that the same map has been used for the game’s first ten seasons, albeit with major changes made along the way. Read More: Fortnite ‘The End’ event cosmetics revealed – Now, a whole new world will be opening to players, who will get to explore new locations, discover hidden areas, and learn what’s what and where’s where. This will also flip the competitive scene on its head, as now players will have to determine which POIs are the best to land at, and where and when to look for the best rotation opportunities. Season 11 is actually called “Chapter 2” While the new map is what’s caught most of the attention when it comes to this leak, the decision to title the next season “Chapter 2” has brought up a lot more questions that its answered. Could this mean that Epic are ditching the season structure, or perhaps the season numbers will be starting over now that this is a new chapter? There’s a chance that the term Season 11, which has been countless times for a while now, might not even be a real thing! Boats are the newest vehicles It looks like Chapter 2 might not be for those who get seasick, because it looks like there will be boats on the new map, something which has never been seen before in Fortnite. The leaked image clearly shows not one but two boats being driven in the river below the characters, which is likely a strong indication that players will be able to use them to get around the map. This also hints that the new map will have a lot of water running through it, which is interesting because streams and rivers have never played any major role on the current map. This will be welcome news to most players who have been complaining all of Season X that there aren’t enough mobility options on the map, following the removal of many vehicles, Slipstreams, the Geysers, and Glider Redeploy. There’s a lighthouse in the distance A very close look at the left side of the horizon reveals a lighthouse hiding behind the fog and clouds covering the new map. This is interesting because if Epic went to the trouble of adding it to the image, then it’s more than likely going to be one of the new POIs. Read More: What do the Visitor tapes mean in Fortnite? – Furthermore, as some have pointed out on social media, the presence of a lighthouse could mean there are actual beaches on the edge of the map that players can access. The only beaches on the current map are at Lazy Lagoon, as the waters surrounding the island inflict instant death to players who jump in them. The new map might not have any biomes… yet This one is a bit iffy, considering that the resolution of the leaked map teaser isn’t that great. That said, nothing in the teaser indicates that there will be any biomes on the new map, at least when Chapter 2 first launches. Biomes were first added to the current map back in Season 5, when the southeastern corner was turned into a gigantic desert. Read More: First official Season 11 trailer released – In Season 7, a massive iceberg collided with the southwestern corner, adding a lot more terrain to the map as well as transforming the whole area into a snowy biome. While one can never be too sure, but if Epic were planning on adding something similar to the new map right from the get-go, they probably would have at least hinted at it in the teaser.

5 Marvel skins Fortnite needs to add for Avengers: Endgame event Graphics from Epic Games and MarvelFortnite Battle Royale‘s crossover event for the launch of Avengers: Endgame is very much on the horizon and there’s a great chance that this time, a number of Marvel inspired cosmetics will be added to the game. Epic Games revealed a teaser on April 22 which finally put rumors to bed about a brand new event landing on the game, confirming that the bridge between the battle royale game and the Marvel universe would once again be drawn on April 25 – to celebrate the release of the highly anticipated movie. While there weren’t any cosmetics added to Fortnite for last year’s Thanos event, there’s a good chance that a selection of new outfits will appear this time round. So, let’s take a look at five skins that we’d like to see appear in the Item Shop… Iron Man Let’s kick our list off with what looks to be the most likely addition to the battle royale game. Fortnite’s creative director Donald Mustard tweeted a photograph of Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. wearing a Fortnite shirt on April 13, sparking speculation that the event would take place in the first place. It has since been confirmed, but this tweet might have also been a hint towards a hero inspired skin also landing in the near future. Let’s face it, if you’re going to hot drop at Tilted Towers and get eliminated in the first few minutes, you might as well do it dressed as somebody like Iron Man. Captain America If you’re not completely sold on the Iron Man speculation, Captain America’s arrival looks to be somewhat more likely. The initial teaser, as seen in Epic Games’ tweet below, shows the The Captain’s shield in full view along with a Fortnite character – which could potentially be the first look of a new skin. Whatever it takes. 4.25.19.#FortniteXAvengers pic.twitter.com/XSXcypJZJE— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) April 22, 2019 We’re certainly hoping it is, anyway. It would make sense for the developer to hide its full aesthetics in this way, too, leaving fans wondering how the full attire would look in-game. Black Panther Black Panther has quickly become one of the most popular Marvel superheroes since he burst onto the scene in February 2018 and many fans will be hoping they get to purchase the costume in Fortnite Battle Royale pretty soon. In-game events like that of Avengers Endgame on April 25 provide Epic Games the perfect opportunity to reap the rewards from external hype. Whether or not Black Panther will be included in a skins pack remains to be seen, but there’s certainly a very good chance of the hero making an appearance. Captain Marvel Captain Marvel was released in March 2019 and certainly answered a lot of questions fans might have had about the backstory of the Avengers. With the superhero set to play a major role in the Avengers: Endgame movie on April 26, it would definitely make sense to have a themed skin available in the Item Shop. Thor We can see it now. Thor skins running around the map with a cape Back Bling and his hammer as the pickaxe. Just make it happen. Fortnite has some incredible cosmetic packs already but there’s no doubt that a Marvel selection would be an instant hit with fans, potentially even more popular than the World Cup and NFL skins which have been released for previous in-game events. So, there you have it. These are the five Marvel skins which we would like to see added to Fortnite Battle Royale for the Avengers: Endgame event. Did we miss any out?

5 leaked Fortnite items potentially coming soon Epic GamesThe April 8 maintenance patch for Fortnite may have been small, but a few big changes were hidden deep in the game files, raising suspicions about further changes coming to the battle royale in coming weeks. The April 8 patch for Fortnite was more to fix performance issues rather than introduce new content into the game. With the next season on the horizon, and the Deadpool event well underway, there wasn’t much to add. However, in the future, there could be some exciting changes on the way, with data miners uncovering new items ready to add in upcoming patches. The five items were discovered by ‘Spedicey1’ in the rather empty April 8 maintenance update. While they only exist as code strings right now — with no images available — players might now have a little idea of what to expect. The unreleased items include a new Rocket Launcher, Tornado Grenades, itemized Upgrade Stations, a Clone Machine, and a Chug Stand. The full list of strings and descriptions Spedicey found are listed below: WID_Athena_LumpyRug (new type of rocket launcher) – WID_ShakingTurtle (tornado grenade) – AGID_Wumba (itemized upgrade stations) – AGID_CoolMammoth (clone machine) – Athena_ChuckleSaddleItem (chug stand) – https://twitter.com/spedicey1/status/1247826437387804672 Items getting added into the game files doesn’t mean they’ll be pushed to players, however. Some of these new pieces of equipment may never see the light of day in Fortnite. However, some of these changes could shake up how the meta of the battle royale evolves. Upgrade benches have been a point of contention for Fortnite players — especially since the release of Warzone and its buy stations — and expanding their power could increase customization for players every game. It could also make way for gold material to finally have a use in Fortnite. Players cashing in gold to get upgrades to their weaponry seems to be the popular consensus as to how upgrade stations will operate if they’re changed in the future, although nothing is confirmed. The soonest some of these new features will be implemented is Patch v12.40, which will be dropped on April 14. However, it’s likely that we won’t see any of these items for quite some time.

5 Guardians of the Galaxy cosmetics that the Fortnite Avengers crossover desperately needs Graphics: Epic Games, MarvelEpic Games partnered up with Marvel to pull off an insane Fortnite Avengers crossover event to celebrate the release of the Endgame movie, but leaks following its launch suggest there is even more to come – Guardians of the Galaxy cosmetics. A number of eye-catching announcements were made ahead of Fortnite Battle Royale’s April 25 event, including teasers for Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, as well as a brand new Marvel inspired LTM with challenges. While there might be a distinct lack of Marvel skins added to the game so far – with just Black Widow being introduced to the Item Shop so far – leaked information shows Guardians of the Galaxy content is very much in the pipeline for players to look forward to. So, here are five Guardians of the Galaxy cosmetics that should be added for the Fortnite Avengers event. Drax the Destroyer – Skin So, let’s kick this thing off with one of the most dominant forces the Marvel universe has to offer – Drax the Destroyer. The strong, yet lovable, character is played by former WWE superstar Dave ‘Batista’ Bautista and has proven to be one of the franchise’s more popular characters. With his unique body features and powerful physique, there’s no question that players would like to play with – and even come up against – Drax in Fortnite. Baby Groot – Back Bling This one jumps out to us as an absolute certain inclusion, should Guardians content ever land in the Fortnite Item Shop. Groot might have been the largest character in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but has been reduced to a much smaller version of itself since. Baby Groot would fit perfectly on the backs of players and would slip in seamlessly alongside the current selection of animal Back Blings – which we can now pet! Come on, wouldn’t you want to pet little Groot? Ronan the Accuser – Pickaxe Cosmetic packs don’t just include skins or a few types of Back Blings, though, which leads us to our next suggestion. Ronan is the Supreme Accuser of the Kree Empire in the Marvel Universe and wields a huge hammer-like object for battle, called the Universal Weapon, which could easily be transformed into a pickaxe in Fortnite. Imagine getting hit with that while you’re down! Lights out. Yondu – Skin If you never guessed it already, we think a Yondu skin (which looks a lot better than our version in the first image) would make for a fantastic addition to Fortnite. He’s such a deep character in Guardians of the Galaxy, with an interesting style of offense – using his Yaka Arrow to eliminate his enemies. Yet, sadly, we don’t predict that this type of feature would ever make it into Epic’s game. However, that shouldn’t stop them from creating a Yondu inspired skin! Star Lord – Glider Epic Games have already made the Avengers Quinjet available to unlock as a glider in Fortnite Battle Royale, so why stop there? Speculation has already emerged regarding the potential addition of a Star Lord skin to the Item Shop, with a leaked image surfacing online. Presuming that the character, who is played by Chris Pratt in the movies, is going to be added to the game, a perfect addition to that cosmetic set could be his ship! So, there we have it. These are our top five Guardians of the Galaxy inspired cosmetic suggestions for the Fortnite Avengers crossover. Did we miss any out?

5 Fortnite tricks you can do with Avatar mythics to help you win Epic GamesWondering how to use Avatar mythics effectively and win Fortnite matches? Here are 5 tricks you need to know. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2’s first significant crossover with Avatar was introduced with update v29.20. This included a new questline, animated series characters, a mini-pass, and three new mythics based on aspects, such as the current Waterbending item. With these inclusions, Fortnite vaulted Greek-themed goods like Wings of Icarus, Chains of Hades, and Thunderbolt of Zeus, which sparked player outrage. However, the new elemental bending mythics have shown to be a suitable alternative for all of them, since they keep the momentum going in sweaty Battle Royale lobbies. Since each item has a distinct ability and usage, here are 5 Fortnite tricks revealed by YouTuber Vice to help you win with Avatar mythics in your loadout. 5 Fortnite tricks you didn’t know you could do with Avatar mythics 1) Use Earthbending to replace enemy builds faster As seen in the clip, you can use Earthbending’s Rock Throw ability in Fortnite at an enemy build in front of you to break a wall or floor piece and can quickly replace it with your own build. For instance, Vice broke an enemy’s wall using the Rock Throw and quickly built a wall by the time the rock impacted the wall. This can also be used for cone or floor pieces if you plan to take over an enemy build during a sweaty fight in a Battle Royale match and win a build fight. 2) Use Airbending with a prop disguise An absurd bug with the Airbending mythic lets you move around using the item’s Air Wheel as a prop. To perform the glitch, simply interact with the Peely NPC near Restored Reels while using the Air Wheel and spend 50 gold bars to activate Prop Disguise. Once activated, you’ll be able to move around while using the wheel as a prop, for instance, a Sofa, Slurp Barrel, Gas Can, and so on. This would help you to easily rotate without being spotted by enemies. 3) Increase field of view using Airbending bug This glitch with Airbending lets you increase your Field of View during a Fortnite match. A larger field of view lets you look around more while building and spotting enemies easily. Thanks to this bug, you can now enable a wider FOV while playing. To do so, simply use the Air Wheel and instantly drop the Airbending item from your inventory. Now you’ll be able to see a wider FOV and will also be able to build and shoot. 4) Rift while using Airbending to glide farther Want to fly farther while Airbending like an Avatar? Well, enter a Rift while using the Air Wheel and now you’ll be able to cover longer distances than simply gliding using your glider. This can help you escape the storm circle faster and get to the safe zone without being shot at by enemies in the sky. 5) Use Waterbending instead of a DMR Last but not least, Waterbending mythic works as a perfect replacement for Marksman Rifles in Fortnite such as a DMR due to its insane range and damage count to enemies. You can use the Waterbending’s Ice shots at enemies up to 280 meters and deal some serious damage to them. The best part about it is that your enemy won’t even see where the shots are coming from, they’ll simply experience damage and their health and shield bars will go low. This mythic is the most overpowered of the four Avatar options and is definitely a worthy addition to your Fortnite loadout.

5 Fortnite crossover events we’d like to see in 2020 Epic GamesAs the next season of Fortnite Chapter 2 awaits in the distance, we look further ahead to the rest of the year and some of the potential crossover events that Fortnite and Epic should consider doing in 2020. Fortnite has connected with other franchises and cultural phenomenon in a way that no other video game has ever come close to. Since its inception, Fortnite’s crossovers with the likes of Avengers, Batman, and most recently, Star Wars, have brought numerous sets of new eyes onto the battle royale, and has led to introducing weapons and items with far-reaching impacts on the game. As Fortnite plans its next big collaboration, we thought we’d help get their creative juices flowing, and suggest some potential new Fortnite crossovers we’d like to see in 2020. Fortnite and its content creators For the longest time, the folks over at Fortnite have been enjoying their massive piles of money while another viable pile sat just next to them, ready to be added to the surplus. That pile comes in the form of cosmetic collaborations with some of its most popular streamers and content creators, and going forward into 2020, it looks like they’re finally making the obvious move. On January 15, Fortnite and arguably the game’s biggest personality in Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins announced the first-of-its-kind streamer-inspired skin. The Ninja skin comes in four different variants, and with its own katana pickaxe, Ninja’s edge back bling, and the dancing Ninja emote. The first cosmetic collaboration with a streamer will not be the last, as Epic announced the Ninja set was part of the Icon Series, which will already include Kathleen ‘Loserfruit’ Belsten and David ‘TheGrefg’ Cánovas in the near future. More streamers and creators are likely to see their skins and cosmetics come to the game this year. Fortnite and esports organizations One of the easiest ways for Fortnite to rapidly grow its competitive community is to introduce in-game jerseys and other cosmetics to represent various esports organizations that already have a massive foothold in the game. Huge brands like FaZe Clan and 100 Thieves already have extensive competitive Fortnite rosters and popular streamers, and a revenue-sharing model with these organizations would generate benefits for both sides. Both Fortnite and the teams would both make money off of microtransactions, while giving fans a tangible way to support the competitive scene in some regard. Games like FIFA use in-game jerseys in Ultimate Team to promote its prominent esports organizations, and CSGO and Rocket League, among others, have experimented with team-based cosmetics as well. As we approach a possible second Fortnite World Cup this summer, Epic might want to consider introducing esports team cosmetics to drum up even more interest and excitement. Music festivals Epic has already nailed down the formula for this idea, after their wildly successful in-game Marshmello concert. It also served as the foundation for their popular in-game events, including the Star Wars Rise of Skywalker event and the black hole event. More than 10 million players watched the Marshmello event in-game, setting a concurrent record for players at the time. With a more expanded lineup, Fortnite could reach a total viewers number for the event that could dwarf any other event. If they are unable to provide a proper experience collaborating with a current festival, whether because of streaming rights or technical limitations, they could even consider hosting and organizing their own festival. This would allow contributing artists to perform from home, and reach a massive audience from the comfort of their own home. Fortnite and the DC Universe Batman was just the beginning. The Batman Begins of a saga that should see more beloved DC heroes make their way onto the fields of Fortnite. As Marvel takes a small step back in 2020, with only two films compared to the three from 2019 that included the climactic end to the Avengers saga, DC is trying to get their expanded universe back on track with Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984, before bringing more Batman in 2021. Throughout 2020, DC could continue to stagger its legendary heroes into the Fortnite roster, with Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn leading the charge as the primary characters of their respective films. DC has a diverse and deep cast of heroes to add in addition to these two, and hopefully more come this year. On January 24, Fortnite replied “see you soon Harley!” to an official Warner Bros. tweet promoting Birds of Prey, hinting that this crossover might already be in the works. Tokyo Summer Olympics A chance for some of Fortnite’s best map creators to show their quality. In the summer of 2020, the Olympics are heading to Tokyo, Japan, and thus present numerous crossover ideas. Similar to the country-themed skins that Overwatch introduced during their Summer Games promotion, Fortnite could do the same with an added gameplay element. A global tracker that tallies wins from players and squads when they play while wearing their country’s skin. They could even do an in-game medal ceremony event for the top three global players. If more Olympics-themed competition is desired, Epic can look to map creators to make events that mirror the games that are seen at the Olympics, and put them into a playlist that players can queue into. By simply Googling “Fortnite Olympics,” you can see some of the examples that content creators have made.

5 big changes Fortnite Season 2 needs Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 is just right around the corner and here are five changes we’d like to see Epic Games implement. With the longest season in Fortnite’s short history set to end on February 20 and Season 2 confirmed to start at the same time, there’s no doubt that the game’s developers will be looking to shuffle the pack. The start of a season usually brings many radical changes such as new weapons, items, and map changes, so players will presumably have a lot to look forward to. The teasers have already hinted at a number of fresh changes so far, including the potential return of dynamite, a golden theme, as well as some peculiar cat references as well – with one having the text “Nine Lives” on it. The inaugural season of Chapter 2 ended up being the longest one the game has ever seen and it really wore out its welcome for many players. Epic Games would usually release a weekly update that added new content into the game, but that just hasn’t been the case these past four months. One thing’s for certain and it’s that Fortnite could use a shot in the arm in terms of new content. So, here are the five new additions we’d like to see in Season 2. 5. More mobility options If there’s anything that has become abundantly clear over the course of this season it’s that the game doesn’t have nearly enough mobility options available. It’s actually become very slow. With the new map featuring more waterways than ever before, the boats were a good addition, but they didn’t really help a whole lot on land. You might be able to steer them outside of water, but they don’t move an awful lot. Near the end of the season with update v11.50, Launch Pads were reintroduced into the game, but it was a case of too little, too late. We hope Epic Games will bring back some options in the future, whether it’s a new vehicle, unvaulting items like the Impulse Grenades or even the Flintknock Pistol. 4. Switch out unpopular locations The Chapter 2 map was very well received when it first debuted. A lot of this came down to the sheer mystery of it all since players had to discover landmarks on their own. However, there ended up being some boring and unpopular spots and we’d like to see those removed in the next season. Places like Wailing Woods and Retail Row, while fine on their own, would be on the chopping block for us since they’ve been around since the beginning of the battle royale mode. Fortnite is in such a different spot now that we’d be fine just seeing a complete overhaul with all brand-new locations. 3. Balance controller aim assist ad name=”article4″] A major debate raging in Fortnite right now is whether or not aim assist is too powerful for controller players. We saw the first controller player ever win a LAN event during the Fortnite Australian Open and pros didn’t seem too happy about that. Almost any time we see Tfue get eliminated by a player, he blames it on a controller player, whether that’s true or not. Ninja has actually come out and said he misses the Infantry Rifle because it’d be a counter to console players. This gun is different than any we’ve seen before in Fortnite considering it has perfect accuracy. All you have to do is aim and shoot, and if you have pinpoint accuracy your shot will hit. 2. Change the leveling system Doing pretty much anything in Chapter 2 will set off a series of notifications that make a loud noise. If you manage to complete a few challenges at once and level up from it, then you can pretty much kiss any sense of awareness you have goodbye for at least a minute. This can become very frustrating if it happens during a battle, so we’d like to see it reworked in some way. For starters, we’d like to have the option to turn off notifications. Believe it or not, some players play Fortnite to have fun instead of doing it just to complete challenges. These players are likely the ones that would become annoyed with the constant audio cues going off for pretty much doing anything. 1. Bring back patch notes This is perhaps the best change we can think of for the upcoming season. With the start of Chapter 2, Epic Games decided that patch notes were no longer a necessary thing to release for each update. Instead, players would have to figure out the changes on their own and that could quickly lead to issues since there’s no definitive way of telling what was actually changed. As the season wore on, Epic Games did actually release patch notes, but they weren’t as in-depth as they had been in the past. With Season 2, we’d like to see a true return to form so we actually know what the updates actually did instead of just having to guess. There are plenty of other changes Epic could make going forward, and there’s a good chance that players might not agree with all of them. No matter what happens in Season 2, just like many other people, we’re excited to see this phase of Fortnite finally come to an end.

5 features Fortnite Season 6 update needs to include Epic GamesFrom major map updates to weapon modifications, there are plenty of things we want to see change in Fortnite Season 6 for it to be a success. Season 5 definitely had its standout moments: The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda kicked things off with a welcome crossover, the new Salty Towers POI became a hotspot for kills, and Predator was one of the best boss fights we’ve seen so far. But beyond the pop-culture crossovers and occasional map change, many players were left wanting more, especially when it came to actual gameplay. Now, attention turns to Season 6, which is expected to debut shortly after Season 5 ends on March 15, 2021. It’s been a long time since a new seasonal update arrived, so we’ve had plenty of time to put together a wish list of things we want to see change. New Fortnite map Listen, we know the chances of an entirely new map are slim-to-none, and if it ever did happen it would most likely occur at the beginning of a new Chapter. But this would arguably be the most exciting (and unexpected) thing the game could throw out right now. If battle royales like Warzone and Apex Legends can have multiple maps, why can’t Fortnite? Read More: Fortnite female Midas skin MariGold leaked – If a new island is too much to expect, then map changes are surely on the menu. New POIs are always welcome, but changing the structure and layout of The Island would definitely go a step further. One thing Season 5 got right was sand tunneling, and more terrain-based mechanics like that would be ideal. More original Fortnite lore (and fewer crossovers) As Fortnite Season 5 has progressed, it’s become evident that the ‘bounty hunter’ theme was pretty much an excuse for Epic to cram as many pop-culture crossovers into the game as possible. Now don’t get us wrong, it’s great seeing the likes of Chun-Li and Master Chief in the game. But it does feel like these skins have come at the expense of progressing the game’s original storylines, or providing significant updates. Back when Fortnite started as a humble newcomer in 2017, it wasn’t big enough to attract crossovers with major pop culture franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, and DC Comics, but it was still a smash hit. If Epic wants to please all players, it needs to find a sweet spot between original content and franchise mashups. Better mid-season patches One of the most common complaints we’ve seen from Fortnite players throughout Season 5 is that things got stale very quickly, and it certainly feels like it’s going out with a whimper rather than a bang. In fairness, there were a couple of mid-season updates that Epic absolutely nailed. Predator completely switched up Stealthy Stronghold and gave players a boss fight that felt genuinely challenging, while a POI based on the iconic Cantina from Star Wars was a great easter egg for sci-fi fans. But aside from that, what was there to hold our attention? Not a lot, really. Leveling up the Battle Pass with weekly challenges will only keep people interested for so long, especially when many dedicated fans hit that Level 100 landmark halfway through the season. More interesting updates in Season 6 should be a top priority for the developers – ideally more than just an unvaulted weapon here and there. Weapon modifications One of the best features of Apex Legends is the ability to modify your weapons during a match. We don’t expect Fortnite to bring in the same amount of customization, as the game’s unique selling point is its simplicity in comparison to the other battle royale titles. But even a small amount of mod options would add a whole new level of depth. It’s not just a dream feature, either, as leaks from the beginning of Season 5 revealed that in-game weapon mods were being tested by Epic. The so-called Weapon Mod Slots will supposedly allow for multiple abilities or attachments per weapon, with players able to add or drop the mods at any time. Imagine being able to install a thermal scope to your Assault Rifle, or adding bolts to your Shotgun to increase its rate of fire? It could easily be a game-changer. There’s no release date for these weapon mods yet, but it would make sense for them to debut in Season 6. Increased player capacity People have been asking for this one for a while now, but with games like Call of Duty: Warzone changing the battle royale landscape when it comes to the number of people that can take part in a single online match, it’s about time Epic followed suit. It doesn’t need to be the insane 200 player limit Warzone recently introduced through limited-time modes. If Epic started out at 125, then maybe moved up to 150, that would be a good tweak. This would hopefully help matches feel more ‘alive’ and intense, as quite often it can feel like you’re wandering around an empty island. With Season 6 of Fortnite expected to arrive around March 16, make sure you visit our dedicated Fortnite hub for the latest news, leaks, and guides.

4 ways to improve the Fortnite Shopping Cart A committed fan of Fortnite’s Shopping Cart is campaigning for Epic Games to make improvements to the item. The user, known on Reddit as ‘NezvTrash’, created a post on the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit asking his fellow users to “Join the fight, make Shopping Carts right!” NezvTrash has four major suggestions for Epic Games, and even made a handy graphic to promote his ideas which he hopes the developers will implement for four-wheeled item. Firstly, they would like Epic Games to increase the top speed of the cart when it goes down ramps, allowing it to fly further and faster than it currently does. To match this, the cart would need more health, meaning it could take the much larger impact when landing after flying down the ramp at break-neck speed. NezvTrash would also like to see spikes added to the front of the cart, making it much easier to kill opponents with the cart as you could simply impale them on the front. Finally, carts should be able to carry items, just like a real shopping cart carries your shopping in real life. This would allow players to carry more items than the five they are currently allowed, but would mean they would have to push the cart around anywhere they went. The Shopping Cart was first added to Fortnite back in May with the release of Patch V4.3. The cart requires someone to push it around, but can also carry another player who sits in the basket portion of the cart. Unfortunately, these ideas are all just suggestions from an avid Fortnite fan, and Epic Games have not revealed any plans to update the Shopping Cart.

$3K Fortnite tournament with Bugha, Bizzle, more canceled over griefing Fortnite stars like Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf, Timothy ‘Bizzle’ Miller, Cody ‘Clix’ Conrod, and more have been left scratching their heads after the $3k Vanish Cup invitational was canceled due to a trio of players allegedly griefing and teaming in the event. The Vanish Cup was billed as “one of the biggest online solo tournaments” to be played in North America in recent times, with a host of major names from across the server kicking boots in the event with hand-picked competitors. All seemed to be going well in the first round of the competition too, with Misfits Gaming player Clix and invited solo star Jonathon ‘Nittle’ Weinman both standing out as two early favorites. As the storm closed in on the last remaining players, however, Vanish Cup officials noticed three players – all playing under alt accounts for the event – were gathered together on recently built structures, teaming together instead of fighting in the solo-only event. To add to the problems, the three players, who had allegedly been given the code to the custom lobbies with the intention of griefing, were spamming rockets at other players in groups to make sure they couldn’t compete properly in the opening round. As soon as the trio were noticed, the Cup was called to a halt, with Round 1 first set to be restarted, before casting pair Arten ‘Ballatw’ Esa and Shayan ‘ShyoWager’ Shehryar confirmed that the $3k event would be delayed, or canceled. “There were teamers, and we will be making an investigation to discover who they were,” Ballatw confirmed when the stream returned after a brief delay. “We are obviously very disappointed that the NA East pro community, who were hand-selected, are choosing to grief the tournament. “We have been forced to cancel the tournament, and reschedule for another time. It was going to be a great time, but of course, it gets ruined by a small few. We don’t know who (the alt account players were), but we will find out.” The tournament, which also boasted major names from the North American Fortnite scene like Nick ‘Aspect’ McGuire, Rocco ‘Saf’ Morales, Noam ‘Megga’ Ackenine, and Daniel ‘Dubs’ Paul Walsh, has not yet had its next date set by the organizers. Tournament founder ‘ImPapaMax’ confirmed the Vanish Cup would still go ahead, but said the organizers would have to take another look at working around the “horrible” custom game and third-party systems Epic Games currently has in place. “The Vanish Cup was a success in the short amount of time it was live, although unfortunately, due to people cheating, it will have to be rescheduled to a later date with a larger prize pool,” the event organizers said in an official statement. “We would like to apologize to all the viewers excited for the event who were disappointed with the short show. We are also very dissatisfied with Epic’s custom matchmaking services and treatment of third party tournaments.” Event caster Ballatw also took aim at Epic after the incident, calling for privatization of custom games, and modding for access codes so that major tournaments with cash prizes could fight back against code leaks, griefing, and other problems. “This isn’t even to say anything about the people who did it… Scumbags,” the disappointed caster said following the cancellation. “We can stop this with the right tools. We have no moderation ability. We have to trust 100 players, in some cases more. There’s a reason we have no third-party tournaments.” This isn’t even to say anything about the people who did it. Scumbags. We can stop this with the right tools.We have no MODERATION ability. We have to TRUST 100 players in some cases more. There’s a reason we have no 3rd party tournaments. — Ballatw (@Ballatw) November 4, 2019 The tournament cancellation is a disappointing look for the NA pro-community, especially considering Fortnite is still looking to find its footing as an esports against massive games like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Considering the major backlash that has already arisen about the griefing, as well as Epic’s poor custom game and tournament support, fans will be hoping the $3k tournament cancellation could lead to the developers taking notice, and maybe working on change. Keep your eyes peeled for the next Vanish Cup announcement as well, which will be coming in the next few weeks alongside confirmation of a larger prize-pool for the next event.

4 skin bundles leaked ahead of Fortnitemares Halloween event Epic GamesEpic Games have had four of their upcoming Fortnite bundles leaked following the v14.30 update, but it’s unclear if this is all that’s coming with the Fortnitemares Halloween event. The game’s developers have arguably been a little slower than usual for rolling out new content in the battle royale title, yet we are quickly approaching a busy time of year for the game – the festive season. In the weeks and months ahead, we can expect to see a full-blown Halloween event, coupled by their holiday challenges and updates. For now, though, we’ll just have to settle for a few bundles here and there to keep the game ticking over. Some of them look impressive nonetheless. Fortnite leaked bundles from v14.30 update Following the rollout of the game’s latest patch, which saw the introduction of a Rally Royale LTM and gave the Pump Shotgun a big buff, leakers were quickly hard at work finding unreleased content. On October 13, ShiinaBR hit the jackpot with four different bundles – as seen below. They include Daredevil’s red skin, as well as previously released Halloween skins that will likely return to the Item Shop. The data miner didn’t put an expected release date on any of these bundles, or prices for that matter, but their introduction to the game files suggests players won’t have to wait long before they are made available to use in-game. As mentioned earlier, Halloween is just around the corner for the community, so we should expect even more weird and wonderful skins to be released in the near future. If it goes down anything like this patch, they will probably be leaked ahead of time as well – so keep your eyes peeled.

$250k Summer Skirmish winner Morgausse reveals he’s having issues performing on stream Fortnite professional player Morgausse has revealed that he finding it difficult to perform at a high level on stream. Morgausse rose to fame when he won the $250,000 Fortnite Summer Skirmish event at PAX West, and used his success to launch his streaming career to the next level. However, the Fortnite champion has taken to Twitter to say that he is having a hard time performing to the level he’s capable of while streaming. He’s also concerned with his mentality on stream, tweeting; “struggling to keep a positive attitude when underperforming on stream, other streamers have any tips? Hate letting out negative vibes when people are watching.” Streaming on Twitch can also serve as a distraction from playing. Twitch streamers like to communicate with their viewers in chat, but constantly reading and responding to chat may stop them from fully focusing on their game. While Morgausse may be concerned that he isn’t playing to his best ability while streaming, there’s no doubt that he’s an extremely talented Fortnite player. He beat out some of the biggest names in competitive Fortnite, such as FaZe Tfue, Liquid 72hrs and NICKMERCS, to win the PAX West Summer Skirmish and take home the massive prize pool. With Morgausse’s incredible skills, it’s only a matter of time before he is able to strike a balance on stream.

30 second Reddit clip perfectly sums up everything that’s currently wrong with Fortnite You would be hard pressed to find many people who approve of and are enjoying the current state of Fortnite Battle Royale. Many among Fortnite community have been very vocal and outspoken about the game over the past few weeks, with the in-game bugs, glitches, and overpowered/underpowered items being the primary areas of their concern. Reddit user ‘LilYerk’ has taken the liberty of posting a video that pretty much sums up everything that is currently wrong in the game. The 30-second clip is a montage of several sequences that really bring to light some of the game-breaking bugs that are plaguing the game, and infuriating countless players in the process. There are several things to consider about what is shown in the video above. The first is the instance where the player gets eliminated by an enemy who just seemingly appears out of thin air, despite the fact that there doesn’t appear to be any ping spikes or connection interrupted. The next is a common issue in Fortnite, and has been for a very long time. This is the issue of shotguns not inflicting damage even though the pellets from the shot are shown to have hit the enemy player. The clip above shows the player’s shotgun hitting 10 pellets to the body of the opponent, while no indication of any damage is shown. includes a big buff to shotguns, particularly the Pump Shotgun.The final issue addressed in the video is that of builds not being placed properly, especially when using the Turbo Building feature. In the clip, the player tries to place a Trap on the floor inside the restroom and it instead gets placed in a different area, ultimately exposing the player and leading to his elimination. What adds insult to injury is the fact that the player gets eliminated with a Mounted Turret, which is widely considered to be very overpowered and has been negatively received by most players since being first added.

16-year-old pro Bugha wins Solos tournament at $30 million Fortnite World Cup – highlights, recap, final standings Epic GamesThe Solos tournament at the $30 million Fortnite World Cup wrapped up on July 28, with Sentinels pro player Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf finishing in first place and securing the $3 million grand prize. Following the six intense competitive matches at the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, the Fortnite community has finally crowned its first ever Solos World Cup champion. Bugha finished atop the leaderboard with 59 points, an astonishing 26 points above CLG’s Psalm, who finished with 33 points. The top-three was rounded off by NRG’s Epikwhale with 32 points. The competition used a format that awarded points to players for both eliminations and placements in each match. Below, you can find the exact scoring breakdown for the tournament, as well as recaps and highlights for each of the six matches, the final placements, and the share of the prize pool that each player received. Game 1 – Bugha takes command and never looks back Bugha’s road to becoming the World Cup champion started in match one, where he got the Victory Royale and kicked off what ended up being a wire-to-wire victory. The win, coupled with his nine eliminations, gave him a strong 19-point haul to kick things off. 13-year-old Argentinian player KING set a huge impression as well during the first match, making some aggressive pushes for eliminations to get second place. Game one of the Solo #FortniteWorldCup is dominated by @bugha who picks up 9 eliminations along the way! Some incredible plays from him through the late circles after he saved his movement to clutch up a memorable Victory Royale.

The win was enough to push Skite into sixth place, but game one standouts Bugha and KING did enough to keep their places atop the leaderboard. Game 2 finishes with a Victory Royale for @RxTSkite who manages to rotate up the mountain despite lacking health. 13 year old @k1nGOD also putting on a show in the first 2 games and becoming a crowd favorite at #FortniteWorldCup Don’t miss any action: https://t.co/MuOsVmQfx4 pic.twitter.com/9T9ZDv5r8W — Fortnite Competitive (@FNCompetitive) July 28, 2019 Game 3 – Dubs gets his dub Not letting his narrow second-place finish in the previous match faze him (no pun intended), Dubs regained quickly to get a strong Victory Royale in game three. He found himself in another intense 1v1 at the end of the match, this time against Team Liquid’s Riversan, but this time he came out on top. The Victory Royale in the 3rd game of the #FortniteWorldCup Solo Finals goes to @Dubsfn. A tense 1v1 in the final moving circle against @LiquidRiversan gives Dubs the 10 placement points in addition to 2 eliminations.

However, CLG’s Psalm denied Mongraal the cherry on the top, eliminating him to get the Victory Royale, even though it was just his first elimination. Game 4 is a win for @psalm as he shuts down @Mongraal’s elimination rampage on the low ground. Who will close this out in the last 2 games?

However, Bugha’s three eliminations and fourth place finish continued to add points to his overwhelming tally, giving him a whopping 15 point lead going into the final match. The penultimate game at the #FortniteWorldCup is won by @KreoFN who navigates a busy final few circles and outlasts his opponents to secure maximum placement points.@bugha performs well in game 5 too and extends his lead at the top.

However, it was Bugha who stole the show in the last game, staying alive until nearly the very end to secure another healthy dosage of points and secure the tournament victory. The final game of the 2019 #FortniteWorldCup is won by @crue1x. Prior to this game @bugha was 15 points clear and he showed up again here playing with a smile on his face. pic.twitter.com/mYbYeL4aay — Fortnite Competitive (@FNCompetitive) July 28, 2019 Fortnite World Cup Solos final placements With the six matches completed, here are the final placements for the $15 million Solos tournament at the Fortnite World Cup. 16-year-old Bugha took home the weekend’s grand prize, but you can view all 100 players performances below.

15 new sky structures have appeared in the Playground mode in Fortnite – Pirate Ships, Battle Arenas and more Epic Games have added several new arenas to the sandbox-style Playground mode of Fortnite Battle Royale. The Playground mode now features 15 brand new structures in the sky, including four Pirate Ships, a Parkour Course, new Spiky Stadium, four Battle Arenas, Trap Arena, three Build Templates, and an unknown Time Trial station. This massive set of new additions appeared in Playground after the v6.21 patch update went live early on November 1. Interestingly enough, there was no mention of these new structures in the v6.21 patch notes, and Epic did not announce or make any comments about them prior to the release of the update. Regardless, these new arenas offer players a multitude of new activities they can engage in the Playground mode, which has now been expanded considerably since it was first added to Fortnite. The following video, courtesy of Fortnite news and leaks outlet @LootLakeBR, gives a tour of all of the new structures in the Playground sky. Here are all of the structures, in order of appearance in the video above, that can be found and interacted with in the sky above the map. Pirate Ship – Seems to be a simple build showoff without much functionality; great for cinematics and build inspiration. – Parkour Course – Right after the first Pirate Ship there seems to be some sort of parkour course where players can test and practice their movement skills. – Pirate Ship – Same as the first Pirate Ship, good for team-based mini-games. – Spiky Stadium – Connected via a sky bridge is a Spiky Stadium, eliminating the need for players to go look for a Red Supply Drops in order to play. – Battle Arenas – Located across from the Spiky Stadium are four arenas which each feature four Vending Machines, a Freeze Trap, and a hole in the center. – Trap Arena – Next to the Spiky Stadium is an Arena constructed with Freeze and Spike Traps which could make some great mini-games. A Time Trail pickup can be found here. – Build Templates – Three templates demonstrate to players how to build a Llama, a double Staircase, and 1-1 builds. – Unknown – An odd-looking structure with a Time Trial pickup can be found near the Llama build template. – Pirate Ships – The set of structures finishes off with two more Pirate Ships, similar to the ones at the beginning. –

16-year-old Bugha becomes top 10 esports earner after Fortnite World Cup win Epic GamesKyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf has become the youngest esports professional to break into the top 10 esports earners, after scooping the $3 million prize following his solo win at the Fortnite World Cup in New York. The 16-year-old American pro took home first place after holding onto his game one victory royale lead for the remainder of the competition. Bugha’s performance continued throughout the tournament, finishing with 23 eliminations – a full 26 points clear of runner-up Harrison ‘psalm’ Chang; placing Bugha as the highest single-event earner in the history of esports. After just six games of Fortnite, notable changes have now been made to the highest earners list across all of esports — firmly putting Fortnite on the map as a top esports contender. Many are now speculating about the impact of the Fortnite World Cup and its transcendence into the esports industry, with some hoping that the likes of CS:GO and other more ‘traditional’ esports titles follow suit. Team Liquid’s Jacky ‘Stewie2k’ Yip voiced frustrations after Bugha more than tripled Stewie’s career earnings with just a single event win. Stewie’s list of accomplishments does not fall short, having previously won a $1 million Counter-Strike major with Cloud9, and more recently winning the Intel Grand Slam with Team Liquid — netting him a bonus $200,000 following a flurry of premier tier tournament wins. Many empathize with Stewie’s views, given that CS:GO devs Valve have successfully crowdfunded over $29 million to contribute to the $1.6 million base prize pool for the upcoming Dota 2 International, while failing to offer a similar monetary incentive for CS:GO majors. Bugha becomes the second most financially decorated American esports pro, sitting in 10th place overall in the all-time winningest esports player list. The teenager joins a cohort of Dota professionals in the list of highest earners. You can view the full top ten highest earning esports players, according to Esports Earnings, below. Top 10 highest esports earners to-date (July 29, 2019) Of course, an impending shuffle in esports earners is certainly on the cards, with Dota 2’s upcoming ‘The International’ 2019, which looks set to surprass the World Cup’s $30 million prize pool, taking place in less than a month.

$15 million Fortnite Winter Royale Duos 2019: dates, format, prizes, rules All of the details have been announced for the Winter Royale 2019 competition in Fortnite Chapter 2, including the official dates, format, rules, and prizes. The $15+ million Winter Royale 2019 will be the most lucrative competition so far in Fortnite Chapter 2, and the second biggest overall following the $40 million World Cup qualifiers and finals earlier in 2019. The event will be broken down into three separate Duos tournaments, played December 20, 21, and 22, each featuring their own scoring system, rules, and $5 million prize pool. There are some important things to note: the tournaments will all be platform-specific with players separated into PC, Xbox/PS4, and Switch/mobile/Touch lobbies. Furthermore, there will be no Arena rank requirement to enter, unlike the FNCS, which was available only to those who achieved Champion status in Arena. Speaking of Arena, Epic Games have enabled Arena Duos again in order to give players a competitive setting to practice in and prepare. UPDATE – December 19 On December 19, a day before the first tournament of Winter Royale was scheduled to kick off, Epic Games announced that they had increased the prize pool and added over 20,000 new placements for the event. This was so “more players have an opportunity to win.” The exact amount that the prize pool was increased by was not immediately revealed, but it was likely to have been split between all of the prizes for various regions and platforms (detailed below) In response to the huge number of players dropping into Arena Duos to prep for Winter Royale, we are increasing the prize pool and adding over 20,000 new placements to the Official Rules so more players have an opportunity to win.
