When does Fortnite Season 10 start? Release date, teasers, map changes and more We’re just hours away from the official start of Fortnite Season 10, but when will the new update launch, and what can you expect when it drops? Here’s everything we know so far. Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world, and were the pioneers of the season and Battle Pass structure that have become so prevalent in the gaming industry today. With the free-to-play title fast approaching a new season, many fans will be expecting Epic Games to pull out all of the stops to mark the massive milestone, and the developers have been dropping hints about what we can expect to see when the tenth season finally kicks off. When does Fortnite Season 9 end? Before we can get into the tenth season, fans of the game will need to wait for the end of the current season – Season 9. Epic Games have yet to confirm an official end date for the season, as the usual 10-week cycle would take it up to July 18, which is just around a week before the $30 million dollar Fortnite World Cup. Fortnite fans were treated to yet another fantastic in-game event, following on from the Marshmello concert and volcano eruption, as a giant battle took place between Cattus and Doggus on the Fortnite map, with the massive feline robot coming out on top. Their duel could hold the key to what Epic Games has in store for Season 10. The developers have previously confirmed that the World Cup will take place during Season 9, which suggests that the current season may drag on longer than many anticipated, possibly lasting 12 weeks instead of 10. An event on the PlayStation Store suggests that instead, Fortnite Season 9 will run until August 1, although this has not been officially confirmed as of yet. When does Fortnite Season 10 start? Fortnite Season 10 officially kicks off on Thursday, August 1, although the exact time of the update has yet to be released by developers Epic Games. Fans can expect August 1 to start with a major new update for the game alongside a host of changes to the map, and likely some sort of new weapon or item. This has been the case in the past, although nobody is ruling out a surprise twist considering it’s a landmark season for the title. What’s going to be the Season 10 theme? There haven’t been any major announcements made about Fortnite Season 10’s main storyline, either, but an overarching series of developments have been building throughout the course of Season 9, building up to the fight between Cattus and Doggus. The giant monster was eventually slain outside of Salty Springs, leaving a skeleton in it’s wake. However, a giant mysterious orb also appeared at Look Lake and it becoming more unstable with each passing day. According to the leaked Season 10 trailer, it seems that we’ll be heading back in time to what the island looked like in previous seasons, with the orb’s final explosion transporting us back to Season 1 and the classic Dusty Depot buildings, and possibly bringing back a few vaulted weapons too. What map changes will there be in Fortnite Season 10? The orb at Loot Lake could hold the key to any potential map changes in the new Fortnite season. Fans have speculated that the power supply could be destroyed, meaning locations such as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall will fall into a black out. The Season 10 teaser seemingly confirmed that Dusty Depot will be back for the new season, but whether we will see the return of other classic points-of-interest remains to be seen. Will Fortnite Season 10 have a Battle Pass? As always, Fortnite Season 10 will have a Battle Pass, which players can purchase for exactly 950 V-Bucks. The Battle Pass includes a number of new cosmetic items and rewards for completing challenges and earning Battle Stars, giving those who purchase the pass a horde of new items to make their characters stand out inside the game. If the Battle Pass contains items that you simply can’t wait to get your hands on, you can purchase the Battle Pass bundle for a more expensive 2,800 V-Bucks which includes 25 tiers meaning you will unlock some items early. Unfortunately, there has been no leaks at the time of writing as to what they could include in the Season 10 Battle Pass, but we’ll be sure to keep this post updated as more information becomes available. Have there been any teasers for Fortnite Season 10? Epic Games officially started teasing Fortnite Season 10 during the Fortnite World Cup, releasing an image of Dusty Divot that appeared to hint at the legendary location’s return to the game at the start of the new season. Since then, the developers have dropped teasers daily, with one seemingly confirming that The Visitor character will play a major role in the new season, with another teasing the time travel theme that many have discussed since the first image dropped. The fourth and final teaser shows the orb at Loot Lake finally exploding, tossing an unsuspecting Jonesy flying through the air has the rush of energy blasts across the map. What new skins will appear in Season 10? As is often the case with new seasons in Fortnite, fans can expect to see a whole host of new cosmetics being added to the game when the next major in-game update gets rolled out. The theme could very well decide how these will look, though, as we’ve seen in the past with pirate skins for Season 8, and more futuristic outfits appear in Season 9. It won’t be long before dataminers get their hands on some of the new details, though, as many of them have continually leaked new additions to the Item Shop since the game launched. Epic recently added ‘Banner’ skins to the shop, allowing players to customize their skin by changing their banner emblem and color. The developer confirmed that this feature will be implemented more in the future so expect to see similar skins and items in Season 10. When will Fortnite Season 10 end? Season 10 hasn’t officially been announced yet, but data miners scouring the game’s files have already found what appears to be the planned end date for the new season. Found in a file related to the Season 10 Battle Pass in the v9.40 update, a piece of text reads “Season 10. Now through October 10,” which means the game will return to a 10 week season, finishing on Thursday, October 10. Whether or not the new season will look anything like the images suggest above remains to be seen, there’s no doubt that things will be shaken up. As more leaks roll in, we’ll be sure to keep this article updated. Last updated on July 31, 2019 at 10:32am (EST).

When does Fortnite Season 10 end? Season 11 delayed, Out of Time Mission – Dexerto
When does Fortnite Season 10 end? Season 11 delayed, Out of Time Mission Graphics: Epic GamesFortnite Season 10 is coming towards the end now and what comes next is very much shrouded in mystery for players, with some expecting the big rocket event to spark the introduction of a new map. Here’s everything we know about Season 11. The much-maligned BRUTE Mechs left a sour taste in the mouths of many players, even sending longtime players away from the battle royale game, but there have been a lot of exciting map changes too – mostly sparked by the introduction of Rift Beacons. For Season 11, there is speculation that there could be an entirely new map, and we don’t have long to wait before we find out for sure. When does Season X end in Fortnite? Following the v10.40.1 update, a delay to the end of the tenth season was confirmed, and it will end on October 13, with the Overtime challenges, or ‘Out of Time’ mission, ending on this date. These missions go live on October 8, meaning you’ll only have a limited amount of days to complete whatever challenges are included. Season 11 start date? The exact start date for Season 11 was initially expected to be either Monday, October 14 or Tuesday, October 15, but leaks suggest that the new season could begin immediately after the in-game event. Epic Games state in the patch notes that “we may be almost out of time, but we’re not out just yet — Season X has been extended a week!” The Gotham City and the Batman Caped Crusader Pack are also available until the end of the current season. The End event Leaks suggest that an in-game event called ‘The End’ will bring Season X to a close, and these leaks are also the reason that some believe a new map is on the way. A countdown has now appeared for the event, which can be seen in-game, hovering above Dusty Depot. The countdown confirms that the event will take place on Sunday, October 13 at 2pm EST (11AM PT / 7pm BST). If leaks are accurate, Season 11 could begin immediately after the event ends. Check out our full breakdown of ‘The End’ event here, including all leaks and hints about what might happen. Fortnite Season 11 teasers While the new seasons are always something of a surprise for players, there’s an expectancy among much of its fanbase that surely teasers for Season 11 would have been released ahead of the game’s next major update. However, there’s been nothing – at the time of writing – that even suggests teasers are coming soon and with every passing day, it looks even more unlikely that hints are set to come. Will the season start right after the update? It’s never been done before, but we can’t exactly rule it out. Out of Time Mission With Season 10 being extended slightly, the Out of Time mission is here to keep you occupied until the new season begins, giving players a final opportunity to earn XP, Battle Stars, and some awesome skin styles. Players have eight total challenges to complete, and will be searching for recordings of the mysterious Visitor ahead of The End event, which he has played a key role in. 800For now, it’s time to grind out the final levels of the battle pass, complete the ‘Welcome to Gotham City’ challenges and the Out of Time Mission, before the season comes to an end. Aside from these challenges, there’s also a number of Visitor tape recordings to collect across the map, which once all have been found will unlock a brand new white Scientist skin style for free. More leaks and teasers should be coming soon about the event too, and then possibly we’ll get our first look at the new map. Last updated on October 11, 2019 at 06:55 AM EST.

When does Fortnite Season 10 end and Season 11 start? – Dexerto
When does Fortnite Season 10 end and Season 11 start? Epic GamesFortnite Season X began on August 1, but, in the ever-changing battle royale, eyes are already being set on the upcoming Season 11. Here’s everything we know so far. Fortnite Season 10 has had a controversial start with the addition of the B.R.U.T.E mech, that has many players wondering if a nerf is already being planned. Epic Games are no strangers to controversy like this, whether it’s Ballers, planes, the Infinity Sword or now mechs. This means some players may already be looking forward to Season 11, and the end of the current season. When does Fortnite Season 10 end? Seasons typically run for 10 weeks, but Epic Games have shown a willingness to extend them as needed in the past. If we jump ahead to 10 weeks after August 1, we’re put smack dab in the middle of October, Thursday, October 10 specifically, as a natural endpoint for the season. Luckily, they usually provide Overtime Challenges so the season doesn’t completely overstay its welcome as fans await what’s coming on the horizon. Provided there are no extensions or delays, Season 10 would end on October 10, perfectly setting the stage for yet another Halloween event for Fortnite to deliver, if they decide to go that route. When does Fortnite Season 11 begin? New seasons of Fortnite will usually begin right after the end of the previous one, and Thursday is a common day for updates, which means we should be looking at Season 11 on the same day. However, there is every chance there will be a delay, like has happened with Seasons 9 and 10. If October 10 does end up being the start of Season 11, expect yet another Fortnitemares, or similar Halloween-themed event to begin shortly after. Fortnite has run a Halloween event each year so don’t expect that to change now. The second Fortnitemares event was very controversial among players due to the unvaulting of the Skull Trooper skin and poorly received zombies all over the map, but did feature a pretty sweet event. Hopefully, Epic learned from their mistakes and will avoid them this time around, although we’re not holding out breath.

Thus, while these updates keep things fresh, many are often looking for a return to form. That’s exactly what Fortnite delivered at the tail end of 2023 with its OG update. But now following the Big Bang event and the debut of Chapter 5, the OG map has been sucked into the void once again. So can fans expect a return in the near future? Here’s what we know thus far. When is Fortnite OG coming back? Currently, there’s no set release date for the return of Fortnite OG. However, we do know for certain it’s happening, and devs have teased fans can expect it back at some stage in 2024. Although the return of the iconic 2018 map was initially planned as a one-time celebration, its record-shattering success has since forced Epic Games to change plans. With 44.7 million players jumping on all at once, raising the bar for live-service games as a whole, devs had no choice but to confirm the OG map will return once more. “[Not going to lie], the OG season far exceeded our expectations,” devs said from the official Fortnite Twitter account. “So much so that we’d like to bring it back… *opens 2024 roadmap doc*.” So exactly when Fortnite OG may return is yet unclear, but we know for sure to expect it at some point throughout 2024. And no doubt when it does come back into the spotlight once again, it’ll lead to another massive surge in engagement. So for now, that’s all we know about the inevitable return of Fortnite OG. Rest assured, we’ll keep you updated here with any further developments as 2024 rolls around.

The Chapter 1 focused update from Epic Games brought new and old returning players back to relive the nostalgia of the original game. It added the Battle Royale’s original map complete with old fan-favorite POIs, weapons, cosmetics, and more. Despite Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 ending on November 3, 2023, lasting for 71 days, Season OG will become one of the shortest seasons in Fortnite’s history and will last around just a month.

This hasn’t been confirmed yet, but Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 will most likely begin on Friday, August 25, 2023, which is the same day that the current season ends.

The background of the image has already convinced some fans that the new season will feature a tropical theme. There’s also been a leaked image that suggests Optimus Prime from Transformers will be featured in the new season’s Battle Pass. Another rumor is that raptors will return to the wild, but this time you’ll be able to ride them. Once we have more information on the contents of the upcoming season, we’ll update this page.

When does Fortnite Chapter 3 start? Release date, Battle Pass & leaks Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 3 is starting sooner than we expected, so here’s everything you need to know including a release date and all of the exciting leaks that have surfaced so far. It might be hard to believe, but Chapter 2 of Fortnite has been around for over two years, exceeding the length of Chapter 1. As a result, many players are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Chapter 3 to really shake things up once again. Now that Chapter 2 has ended with an explosive live event, it’s been confirmed by the devs at Epic Games that Chapter 3 does indeed exist, and it will actually be the follow-up to Chapter 2 Season 8. This means it will be arriving very soon! To get you prepared for Fortnite Chapter 3, we’ve rounded up all of the information we know so far including an expected release date, Battle Pass rumors, and all of the leaks that have emerged. Contents When does Fortnite Chapter 3 begin? – What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 3? – All Fortnite Chapter 3 leaks so far – What will be in the Chapter 3 Battle Pass? – When does Fortnite Chapter 3 begin? Fortnite Chapter 3 is expected to begin on Sunday, December 4, 2021, at 10am ET following a day of downtime caused by the Chapter 2 finale – we’ve got a recap of that brilliant live event here. It was previously reported by leakers that Chapter 3 would begin on December 7, but that date now appears to have been changed. Until the next chapter begins, players who log in to Fortnite will be greeted by an aerial view of the ocean. This is essentially a ‘downtime’ screen between chapters, similar to the infamous ‘Black Hole’ screen. What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 so far? While the natural next step after Season 8 would be to go straight into Season 9 (which is what happened during Chapter 1 of Fortnite), it’s now been confirmed that we’ll be going straight into Chapter 3 instead. Following the game-changing Chapter 2 finale event, the Cube Queen was destroyed but the Island was flipped upside down in the process, revealing a brand new map for players to explore on its underside. A leaked trailer for Chapter 3 – look away now if you don’t want spoilers – revealed that a new sliding mechanic will be introduced in the new chapter, as well as portable tents that act as bases for your team to heal and store weapons. Interestingly, a Chapter 2 Season 7 teaser from back in June hinted that a Kangaroo wild animal would appear on the Island at some point, but that never happened – could it have been foreshadowing for Fortnite Chapter 3? We’ll have to wait and see. All Fortnite Chapter 3 leaks so far The biggest leak so far is a video that appears to be a Fortnite Chapter 3 trailer [spoiler alert!], which shows off a completely different map, new weapons, and a Battle Pass containing some huge collaborations. A few other interesting details have popped up in recent weeks which could also hint at what to expect from Chapter 3, such as a Throwable Axe and a potential ‘buffed’ version of the Flint-Knock Pistol. It’s also been teased by leaker HYPEX that seagulls will be the next wild animal to arrive on the Island in Chapter 3, following in the footsteps of boars, wolves, chickens, and dinosaurs. Expect more leaks to surface as we get closer to the launch of Chapter 3. We’ll keep this page updated. What will be in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 Battle Pass? A leaked trailer revealed that after months of rumors, Spider-Man will finally be appearing as an unlockable skin in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Battle Pass with multiple styles, which will coincide nicely with the new movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. Other skins set to appear in the Battle Pass include The Foundation – who is now confirmed to be voiced by The Rock – and a new Llama skin. A Gears of War crossover has also been teased, but it’s unknown if that will be in the Battle Pass or the Item Store. Outside of the Battle Pass, a recent post shared by leaker HYPEX highlighted a number of previously unearthed collaborations that haven’t made their way into Fortnite yet, suggesting that they could make an appearance at some point in Chapter 3. These potential collaborations include Samus Aran from Metroid, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, The Bride from Kill Bill, and even Lady Gaga, who was rumored to have a live concert like Ariana Grande. Here are the collabs that were mentioned in the Apple v. Epic documents but didn’t happen yet, most likely all for Chapter 3! Which ones are you looking forward to the most? 👀 pic.twitter.com/noYThRUBdU — HYPEX (@HYPEX) November 22, 2021 Remember that these crossovers aren’t guaranteed to happen at all, and even if they do, they may appear in the Item Shop at a later date instead of in Chapter 3 Season 1. We’ll update this page when more Chapter 3 details emerge, but in the meantime, visit our dedicated Fortnite home page for the latest leaks, news, and guides.

The image shows a hand reaching out of liquid chrome. Leakers have revealed that this hand belongs to The Paradigm, a member of The Seven who’s rumored to be voiced by Brie Larson. FIRST SEASON 4 TEASER??? (via @gameshed_) pic.twitter.com/Lax9yaDxsX — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) September 1, 2022 Interestingly, the liquid chrome has already started appearing in the game, so it definitely feels like a clue to the next season. Some leakers have speculated that chrome could work similarly to sand tunneling. More chrome-related teasers have emerged since then, with the official Fortnite website hinting that the new season will be called Paradise and that chrome will soon begin spreading across the Island. As for Fortnite’s story, we should get an explanation for the Reality Tree that’s spreading its roots across the island, and we might see more of that mysterious figure at the end of the season trailer.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but leakers have claimed that the new Battle Pass will feature Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, with Miles Morales coming to the Item Shop later on.

ICYMI: This Meowscles skin is in the Season 4 battle pass. pic.twitter.com/X0fkAv6lkO — HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 3, 2022 While these franchises most likely won’t be featured in the Battle Pass, it’s worth noting that DC’s Black Adam and Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are both being released in the next few months. Given how many Marvel and DC characters have appeared in the Item Shop so far, it seems very likely there will be collaborations with them at some point in the new Fortnite season.

When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 begin? Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is expected to begin on Sunday, June 5, 2022. While this date hasn’t been confirmed by Epic Games, there’s normally a night of downtime following a season finale. With Season 2 ending on June 4, it makes sense that Season 3 will start on June 5.

When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 end? Season 2 start date – Dexerto
When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 end? Season 2 start date Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 has been a blast so far, but some players are starting to wonder when the current season will come to an end – and when Season 2 will begin. Chapter 3 of Fortnite kicked off with a bang, introducing an entirely new map to explore, the long-awaited Spider-Man crossover (complete with a web-swinging item), and another Battle Pass with some epic neon Super Level Styles. While there’s still plenty to come in Chapter 3 Season 1, including some exciting pop-culture crossovers, it’s always tempting to look ahead to the next major update. To do that, we need to know when the current season is set to end. Here’s everything we know about Chapter 3 Season 1’s end date – and what you can expect from Season 2 when it arrives. Contents When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 end? – When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 start? – What will happen in Chapter 3 Season 2? – What will be in the Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass? – When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 end? Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 is currently scheduled to end on Saturday, March 19, 2022. The most recent season ended on a Saturday too, with a huge live event known as The End, so this seems about right – and suggests we could be in for another big finale event! Of course, there’s always a chance that Epic Games could extend the season, which is something they have done in the past, but this seems unlikely as most recent seasons have ended on schedule. When does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 start? Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is expected to begin on Sunday, March 20, 2022. While new seasons have traditionally started on Tuesdays, Chapter 3 Season 1 broke the mold by launching early on a Sunday, and it seems likely that this will be the case with every season going forward. What will happen in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2? There are no official details about what will happen in Chapter 3 Season 2 yet, but based on the events of the current season, there are a few ideas floating about. Some players have speculated that there could be a war between The Seven and the Imagined Order. With the two sides currently fighting for control of the Island, it’s definitely building up to something big. It’s also likely that we’ll be introduced to the remaining members of The Seven: The Origin and The Sisters. Two skins were recently included in a survey sent out to players, and they look like they could fit the bill. This might be the biggest stretch but.. *Could* this be The Origin & The Sisters? I know their suit colors don’t match the pattern, but the suit design/pattern does match The Seven’s suits in many ways.. But again, the 2 females could be 1 skin with edit styles. pic.twitter.com/ml8zTLSRal — HYPEX (@HYPEX) December 15, 2021 What’s going to be in the Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass? It’s still too early to tell what’s going to be in the Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass, as Epic Games usually remain tight-lipped about this until launch day – and leaks won’t start rolling in until closer to the time. Having said that, there are already some rumors and speculation about what it could feature. One theory is that we might get a Star Wars season, similar to the Marvel season, or at least a Star Wars character in the Battle Pass. With the current Battle Pass starring the popular Marvel superhero Spider-Man, Epic Games will no doubt want to make sure the next one is just as big. Whatever it contains, it’s safe to expect at least one famous crossover character. Now you know when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 ends, make sure you’re leveling up your Battle Pass with our fast XP earning guide to unlock all of the skins and cosmetics you want before it expires. There are only a few weeks left of the current season, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble maxing out the Battle Pass – especially if you’re keeping on top of those weekly challenges.

When does Fortnite Championship Series start? Launch date, prize pool, and more details – Dexerto
When does Fortnite Championship Series start? Launch date, prize pool, and more details Epic GamesEpic Games revealed the Fortnite Championship Series at the World Cup and now we know a bit more about how it works and what prizes players can expect. After the World Cup finished up, which featured a $30 million, many were left wondering where Epic Games would go after that and how that could be topped. It was revealed that the Fortnite Championship Series would be introduced in Season 10 and it would be a competitive circuit where players go against each other to see who the best player is over the course of several weeks. The series begins on August 17 and runs for five weeks with players competing on Saturdays and Sundays for a chunk of the dedicated prize pool and also the chance to qualify for the Season X Championship, Epic revealed in a blog post. Read More: All Fortnite Season X map changes – Epic Games doesn’t give all of the information about the prize pool but do mention that millions of dollars will be included so there’s a lot on the line. This shouldn’t be too much of a surprise considering the amount of money Epic have already put into the esports scene. Season 10 saw Arena Duos get vaulted so it’s just Solos and Trios left for this season, and it seems like that was for a distinct reason. The inaugural Championship Series will be for Trios only but the wording suggests that could be changed up for future tournaments. Now is the time to get your team ready and get all of your practicing in. For those who aren’t interested in a Trios aspect, Epic Games also revealed Solo Cash Cups are coming back for the season and will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning on August 21. Fortnite is certainly all in on their competitive events and have steadily been introducing more as time goes on. The last thing Epic Games teased is the Fortnite Spotlight mode that will shed light on members of the Fortnite community from all over the globe. We don’t have a lot of information about what this is but we’re sure we’ll learn a whole lot more in the near future.

Season 9 start date, teasers, downtime and battle pass details Epic GamesSeason 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale has given fans twists, turns, pirates and superheroes, but the next major event on the horizon for the game is Season 9 and they’ll be expecting even more when it comes around. Fortnite Season 8 kicked off on February 28 and introduced a brand new pirate theme to the game, which sparked a whole restructuring of the northeast corner of the map. A brand new volcano, along with the arrival of Sunny Steps and Lazy Lagoon, gave fans a lot more than they bargained for with a new thematic setting. However, on May 4, players witnessed the volcano finally erupt during the Unvaulting event, with projectiles completely destroying both the Tilted Towers and Retail Row locations. Now, with so much free space on the map to take up, let’s take a look at when Season 9 is set to start and what to expect. When is Fortnite Season 8 ending? The typical season of Fortnite Battle Royale usually lasts around 10 weeks and Epic Games have now confirmed that, as expected, Fortnite Battle Royale’s Season 8 will come to an end on May 8. There has been an exception to the 10 week ‘rule’ since the game first launched its Battle Passes, though, and that was Season 7, which was extended for a further two weeks because it landed near the holiday season. Now, we now that there won’t be any extension this time around. The Future approaches. Downtime for Season 9 begins tomorrow, May 9 at 4 AM ET(0800 UTC). — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 8, 2019 Fortnite Season 9 start date Not only have Epic Games made the Season 8 end date official, following a number of teasers which feature later, but it’s now set in stone that Season 9 will commence on May 9. As is the case for many Fortnite Battle Royale patches, this means that there will be some downtime as the new season content is added to the game. Downtime will commence, as the tweet above states, at 4am (EST) – or 9am (BST) and 1am (PT) Three Fortnite Season 9 teasers revealed While Fortnite Season 9 hasn’t yet been released, we already have three teasers to work with. However, what they signify is actually quite unclear at this stage. The first image, as seen below, which was tweeted out by the official Fortnite Twitter account on May 6, showing what looks to be a futuristic character next to the new Fortnite Season 9 logo. The Future is Unknown. 5.9.2019 #FortniteSeason9 pic.twitter.com/OugJ6Y54G9 — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 6, 2019 The next teaser, which was revealed by Epic Games on May 7, doesn’t seem to give too much away. You may notice that the first image included the letter ‘N’ and this one features the latter “E’, though. The Future is Bright. 5.9.2019 #FortniteSeason9 pic.twitter.com/Nvm7TiMq2I— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 7, 2019 After Epic’s Donald Mustard leaned towards the possibility of the teasers eventually spelling out a word, hinting that something will soon rise “from the ashes,” the third teaser from May 8 seemed to include the letter ‘O’. The Future is Tilted. 5.9.2019 #FortniteSeason9 pic.twitter.com/vJXgh30FdQ— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 8, 2019 The word seems to spell out ‘NEO’, which isn’t what hopeful fans were hoping for, as many suggested the next letter may be a ‘W’, to hint towards a new map. However, that wasn’t to be the case. What to expect from Fortnite Season 9 It remains unclear as to what the next season could hold, but a number of rumors and leaks have surfaced which suggest some of the changes that could come in the next in-game reboot. One of those is a gifting feature, which many fans will have used for a limited time in the past. Leaked information, which surfaced on April 22, claimed players will soon have access to Battle Pass gifting in Fortnite. This would mean that friends could exchange Battle Pass content with others, but it is still yet to be confirmed. Another change, which would be hugely more significant in the grand scheme of things, is a rumored map change for Fortnite. Since the game was released in September 2017, the map has been extended, tweaked, and the locations have changed a lot – but the map itself has more or less stayed the same. One of the theories that just doesn’t seem to go away puts forward the idea of Fortnite’s map being completely submerged underwater, as an underwater vehicle was leaked on March 1, but that is somewhat an ageing idea now. Others have angled for a future season possibly taking the game to space, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass cost There hasn’t been much variation in terms of the cost of Fortnite Battle Passes, therefore there’s a good chance that Fortnite’s Season 9 will set players back a total of 950 V-Bucks. In real money, that’s $10 or £8. As well as the Battle Pass, expect to see another Battle Bundle in the Fortnite Item Shop for the new season, which may be a little more expensive to purchase, but will give players a head start on the first 25 tiers of the Battle Pass and will allow them to unlock a whole host of new skins along the way.

When Do the Fortnite Challenges Go Live for Week 9 of Season 5? – Dexerto
When Do the Fortnite Challenges Go Live for Week 9 of Season 5? Fortnite Battle Royale players that are eagerly awaiting the release of the Week 9, Season 5, challenges will have to wait a little bit longer than normal. Challenges routinely go live on a Thursday, meaning that the Week 9 ones would have been available on September 6, but a “critical controller issue” has gotten in the way of standard procedure. Following an announcement that this controller issue had forced them to move the release of the High Stakes event, and the the V5.40 patch, to September 6, Epic Games also confirmed that the challenges would be delayed by 24 hours and go live on Friday, September 7. Luckily, the High Stakes event comes with its own set of challenges, and the V5.40 patch is also expected to include the introduction of the all-new “Grappler”, so you’ll still have plenty of things to keep you busy once the update goes live. Read More: Ninja Pulled More Viewers for His Summer Skirmish Finals Stream Than the Official Broadcast and Epic Games Loved It – Week 9 is the penultimate week in Season 5, so time is running out if you want to earn all of the items and cosmetics associated with the Season 5 Battle Pass before Season 6 begins. The weekly challenges tend to feature four Battle Pass exclusive tasks and three that are free for anybody to complete. Once you complete all seven, you’ll also unlock a new loading screen with a hint about a bonus challenge, like finding the hidden Banner in Week 8.

When are helicopters being added to Fortnite Season 2? – Dexerto
When are helicopters being added to Fortnite Season 2? Epic GamesThe new Fornite Chapter 2: Season 2 trailer from January left everybody wondering about whether or not a new vehicle could soon appear in the battle royale game. Season 2’s trailer premiered in January 2020 and one thing sharp-eyed players soon noticed a chopper landing in one shot on the roof of the mansion, which appeared to be yet another hint that flying vehicles could be experimented with once again. Helicopters aren’t entirely new to Fortnite – one was spotted around the map from Seasons 4 through 8 in 2019, but that never led to a version that was actually usable by players. Now that we know patch v12.20 is on the way, there’s a chance helicopters could be added then. Let’s take a look at everything we know so far. Helicopters clues in Fortnite Helipads After seeing one landing on top of the mansion in the trailer, we have seen many other clues that may suggest they’re coming soon. Players have also noticed that every single one of the new areas on the map has a helipad somewhere in it. They’re marked with all of the distinct characteristics of any ordinary helipad – a wide surface with a large H in the middle of a circle. While you wouldn’t necessarily need a helipad for a helicopter to land, if Epic were planning on adding the vehicle in, it would make sense to have them as a place for it to spawn. Leaked emotes But some of the most convincing things we’ve seen to suggest the flying vehicles are coming to Fortnite come from prominent dataminer HYPEX, who leaked some helicopter-themed emotes and information about the new vehicle from back-end game files. HYPEX warned these stats could just be placeholders, but they’re one of the best indications so far the vehicle is definitely coming. The chopper will have 1500 HP, be able to boost and it can damage players if it hits them. Some infos about the upcoming helicopter vehicle, (might be placeholders) [@spedicey1]: – HP: 1500 – Can boost – Can damage players if it hits them— HYPEX (@HYPEX) March 3, 2020 The emote in question is named “Get To The Choppa” a nod to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legendary 1987 sci-fi action film “Predator”, and it definitely looks like a good sign for choppers coming to the game soon. Upcoming Emotes that let you shout to someone! – Get To The Choppa (Helicopter soon) – 1v1 – Bow 2 Bugha – Dang – Leggo – 2 Good – OMG & Gosh – It’s Over – Jankens – I have the highground – Leeroy (this is a codename) – Do This— HYPEX (@HYPEX) February 20, 2020 More leaks Last, but certainly not least, it has also been suggested that the new vehicles won’t be able to carry more than one person at a time, which would mean teammates wouldn’t be able to travel in a group. This information, posted to Twitter by user spedicy, is still unconfirmed. They also claimed that they would have 1500 HP, which would make destroying them quite the challenge. https://twitter.com/spedicey1/status/1238756979281219586 Helicopters wouldn’t be the first flying vehicle to be in Fortnite either; players used to be able to take to the skies in the X-4 Stormwing planes before they were vaulted at the end of Season 7. However, due to their overpowered nature, the Stormwings were widely disliked by the player-base and remain to this day as one of the more controversial additions to the battle royale. Fans will hope that if choppers are indeed coming, Epic Games will have made sure that they can’t cause too much havoc, or we’ll have another aerial catastrophe on our hands. As of now, there is no expected release date for helicopters in Fortnite, but with Season 2 nearly a quarter of the way done and patch v12.20 just around the corner, you just never know what may happen.

When are cars coming to Fortnite? Epic finally announce release date – Dexerto
When are cars coming to Fortnite? Epic finally announce release date Epic GamesThe long-awaited debut for cars in Fortnite Season 3 is just down the road as Epic Games gave players a clear signal for when to expect the new vehicles in the game. Since the start of Season 3, the Fortnite devs have let players know that cars were on the slate. But a few in-game events like the flooding that led to the introduction of Aquaman stalled any land-based vehicles on the island, considering there were hardly any roads to use them in. But now that we’re deep into the third season of Chapter 2, people have been waiting with bated breaths for any indication that the automobiles are coming soon. Thankfully for Fortnite fans, after a brief delay, they now have a concrete date from Epic as cars will officially make their debut in the Joy Ride update scheduled for Wednesday, August 5. It’s not just a name. It’s a warning. Experience the #FortniteJoyRide Update on 8.5.2020 pic.twitter.com/fxgCgAMpYk — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) August 3, 2020 The devs teased the upcoming cars by showing off a rough look at Whiplash, a new blue-and-sport- red roadster with racing stripes – a minor change from its grey paint job as it appeared in the Season 3 launch trailer. “It’s not just a name. It’s a warning,” the devs said about Whiplash. It sounds like this model could be one of the faster vehicles in the lineup, as players can expect a few options to arrive when the update hits live servers. The upcoming patch will mark the end of the prolonged wait for cars in Fortnite. They were expected to arrive earlier in the season, but then Epic announced that “many vehicles got taken for inspection” and were coming weeks later. Previous leaks revealed that cars will have max speeds around 28-45, with around 500 health, and the ability for players to ‘eject’ after being hit for 50 damage. More importantly, the leaks showed that players will be able to gain metal mats when hitting objects like the Brutes did in seasons past. When cars explode they deal 800 damage to buildings while inflicting 50 damage to players at short range and 200 at long range, according to the datamined files. (2/3) –Max speed will be around 28-45 (could change based on car type). –Vehicles will have around 500 health. –You can eject from a vehicle after being hit for 50 damage. –Hitting a player will impulse them. –You can refuel using the Gas Pumps and/or the Petrol Jerrycans.— VastBlast (@VastBlast) July 22, 2020 Driving a car in Fortnite will give teams a powerful and fun new tool to get around the island while adding to the charm of Epic’s popular game. If there aren’t any delays, Fortnite will soon introduce their fleet of vehicles to the island as the highly anticipated 13.40 Season 3 update is finally on the way.

What will the Fortnite Hunting Party skin look like? Data miners leak mystery outfit [Back bling with kill counter] – Dexerto
What will the Fortnite Hunting Party skin look like? Data miners leak mystery outfit [Back bling with kill counter] Data miners have given us our first look at the highly anticipated Hunting Party skin for Fortnite Battle Royale following the November 6 update. As is often the case after a Fortnite update, the release of the v6.22 patch files means that data miners have been able to begin digging through them for hidden gems and information. As a result, the November 6 leaks are already beginning to flow. Perhaps the most exciting of those comes in the form of a sneak peek for the upcoming Hunting Part skin. The head and shoulder shot provided doesn’t seem to show the most exciting skin ever, but we’re willing to bet that this will be another outfit that changes and updates over time as you level it up. According to leaked names and rarities, the skin will be Legendary and called ‘A.I.M’. The description reads: “Scanning area for targets.” Our best guess is that the number shown will be a kill counter – perhaps for kills in each game or perhaps a countdown to when you’ll level the skin up? (The kill counter now seems to have been confirmed. The Back Bling will be named ‘E.L.I.M’ and come with the description: “Increment elimination count.”) Much like the Blockbuster skin in Season 4 and the Road Trip skin in Season 5, the Hunting Party skin can only be unlocked by completing the weekly bonus Hunting Party challenges after you’ve completed the seven standard ones for the week. Completing the Hunting Party challenge usually consists of finding a clue in that week’s loading screen and using that hint to find a hidden Battle Star or Banner somewhere on the map. You’ll need to complete all of the Hunting Party challenges to get the skin. Our Week 6, Season 6 Hunting Party guide can be found here.

What is ‘The End’ in Fortnite? Everything we know about Season 10 event – Dexerto
What is ‘The End’ in Fortnite? Everything we know about Season 10 event Epic GamesSeason 11 in Epic Games’ battle royale is fast approaching, so the stage is set for a grand finale to see off Season 10 in style. Here’s everything we know about the in-game live event, including dates, times and exactly what is rumored to go down. Season-ending live events are a spectacle that Fortnite fans look forward, with the last event seeing the Mecha take down Cattus, leaving an orb in its wake which catalyzed a series of map changes throughout Season 10. Season X saw the return of The Visitor and multiple alterations to the map’s landscape, but fans are now looking ahead to the eagerly anticipated Season 11. However, before fans of the battle royale can get stuck into the next season, there’s the small matter of an in-game event to end Season 10 — rumored to be titled ‘The End’. When is the Season 10 in-game event? After a number of leaks and speculation, where many thought it was happening on September 28, the in-game countdown to the event is now underway at Dusty Depot – confirming that the event will happen on Sunday, October 13. As usual, the live event will happen at approximately 2:00 PM (EST) or 7:00 PM (BST) so you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to get ready in-game. Like season nine’s end, there will probably be a seperate ‘The End’ playlist for you to hop into closer to the spectacle getting underway. The countdown for the event has now appeared! #Fortnite (Via @Ta5tyy2) pic.twitter.com/hVP1KdTRuE — Fortnite News :goat: (@FNBRHQ) October 5, 2019 What will happen during the Season 10 live event? Most of the rumors circulating suggest that a new map will come as part of the grand finale, which means that Season 10 will directly lead into the next chapter for the battle royale. Alternatively, the map could just receive an overhaul. However, with The Scientist building a spacecraft and leaked images of in-game characters waving the battle bus into the yonder, a departure from the current landscape seems imminent. How will the new map will arrive? It is hypothesized that a cataclysmic event will cause the current map to be rendered inhabitable, leading players to be sucked into a space rift that will teleport players outside of the current map and into a new environment. EVENT LEAK: During the event, the players will be sucked into the Zero Point & will be unable to move (similar to the Butterfly event). After being sucked into the Zero Poin an currently encrypted Map will be loaded and used for the cinematic. ContainsSpoilers (h/t @Asriel_Dev) — ShiinaBR – Fortnite Leaks (@ShiinaBR) September 27, 2019 (“ContainsSpoilers”) The event will most likely have a fixed zone. That means that the zone will start closing towards Fata Fields & Dusty. At some point, all the players will be teleported outside of the map as you can see to the following image below. (via @spedicey1) pic.twitter.com/fKyJx9019O — FNBRUpdates – Fortnite News & Leaks (@FNBRUpdates) September 26, 2019 Moreover, speculation from @Asriel_Dev supports this notion by suggesting that the point at which players are sucked into a ‘Zero Point’ is where a dialogue will begin to play, which has also slipped through the cracks, thanks to @ShiinaBR. Players, trees, and tomatoes (yes that exists for some reason) will be sucked into the Zero Point at which point (I speculate), players will be under the influence of the gadget (above tweet) and the dialogue will start playing. — Asriel_Dev // Fortnite News, Leaks, & Tools (@Asriel_Dev) September 27, 2019 Some event sounds! ContainsSpoilers (via @HYPEX)pic.twitter.com/Jp9asd7YN2 — ShiinaBR – Fortnite Leaks (@ShiinaBR) September 25, 2019 The purported length of the event is also set to be almost three minutes long, meaning that fans will be subjected to lengthy cinematic, as we transition into Season 11. The event at minimum will be 2 minutes 50 seconds ish, it is 100% longer than that though. And a following parameter had a value of 255, might be placeholder but if its not the event is atleast 4 minutes 15 seconds long, however this one I can’t confirm with 100% certainty — Lucas7yoshi // Fortnite Leaks (@Lucas7yoshi) September 27, 2019 Dusty Depot invincibility As the countdown to the event draws ever closer to its conclusion, fans have started discovering that Dusty Depot can no longer be farmed for materials. Of course, loot still spawns at the location and you can still build – with materials from elsewhere – but you are no longer able to collect a ton of metal like in the past. The Visitor tapes played together One part of the teases for ‘The End’ has been the Visitor tapes that players have been tasked with finding. These voice notes are dotted all over the map and when collected, can be played at Dusty Depot for some added lore. Now, fans have been able to find every single one of the tapes and play them in order – giving us another layer towards the event from the perspective of the in-game character. Many expect that the event may occur on the speculated date of October 12, as players will have to complete the overtime challenges which are expected to end in line with the new season, which are aptly named the ‘Out of Time’ missions. However, the leaked challenges include objectives which revolve around current map POIs, Thus, backing up the idea that a temporary bridge in space will be placed between the two maps. Regardless of the substance behind current speculation, one thing is for sure, Fortnite fans are in for a treat, as Season 10 is poised for its very own endgame. This article was last updated on October 11, 1:21 AM (EST).

What is Siphon in Fortnite? Medallion explained – Dexerto
What is Siphon in Fortnite? Medallion explained Epic Games / DexertoSiphon is an in-game mechanic in Fortnite, that some players may not be familiar with, so here’s what it means and how it works. Fortnite has some terms and mechanics in the game that can be quite hard to keep track of, especially if you’re a new player or simply haven’t been in the loop for a while – Siphon being one of them. In Chapter 5, Season 4, this mechanic is finally back. This time, it serves as an effect from one of the Medallions you can pick up in the game instead of an augment. Knowing how this works can help you out in securing that sweet Victory Royale. Read on to find out everything you need to know about how the Siphon mechanic works in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4. What is Siphon in Fortnite? Mechanic explained Siphon is a mechanic in Fortnite that allows you to gain health and shield after eliminating an enemy. This can be extremely useful when you’re in a pinch or if you’re almost in the final circle with no medkit or shield potions to loot nearby. In Chapter 5 Season 4, players can utilize this mechanic by defeating Doombot at Castle Doom and looting him. Afterwards, he’ll drop the Siphon Medallion, which you can equip. However, like any other Medallions in the game, it comes with a cost. While you get to regenerate health and shield with Siphon, wearing the medallion will reveal your location to all players on the map. So, everyone will constantly know where you’re going, no matter your location in Fortnite. That said, this shouldn’t be a problem if you’re confident in your skills and know where all the Mythics are. Additionally, thanks to this season’s loot pool, there’s now a “broken combo” you can try to shred enemies in your way. If you need a refresher on where Castle Doom is to grab the Siphon Medallion, check out all the new POIs added to the game.

What is Ninja’s opinion on Nate Hill’s Fortnite Fall Skirmish suspension? – Dexerto
What is Ninja’s opinion on Nate Hill’s Fortnite Fall Skirmish suspension? Twitch megastar Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has shown sympathy towards Nate Hill, after it emerged that he’s been suspended from the Fortnite Fall Skirmish competition. Ninja was broadcasting some Fortnite gameplay, when a member of his chat brought up the situation regarding the FaZe Clan member’s suspension. Nate Hill was suspended when his teammate Funkbomb decided to watch a stream of the game they were in, and pass information on to Nate in an attempt to provide him with an advantage. When asked his thoughts on the situation, Ninja replied; “It is what it is. What happened happened… You just got to know not to do that man”, making it clear that he didn’t condone the actions of the pair. Blevins however does have sympathy for Nate Hill, and believes that the FaZe star didn’t ask Funkbomb to go and watch the stream. “I think it just happened, and he didn’t know it was going to”, remarked Ninja, “I don’t think Nate Hill had anything to do with it, just guilty by association.” Nate Hill has been suspended for two weeks, but will be able to return to Fall Skirmish action when his punishment ends on October 11. Nate will still be a member of the Dusty Dogs club, and remain eligible for club prizing. Funkbomb, however, has been banned for the rest of the Fall Skirmish, and is ineligible for any club prize money. He won’t be able to return to action until the Fall Skirmish event at TwitchCon on October 26.

What is a melee weapon in Fortnite? – Dexerto
What is a melee weapon in Fortnite? Epic GamesIf you’re wondering what counts as a melee weapon in Fortnite or trying to figure out how to deal melee damage to opponents, we’ve got all the answers you need right here. Epic Games’ wildly popular battle royale Fortnite has become one of the most successful games in the world since its release in 2017 – and plenty of seasonal updates and exciting weapons have been added since then. Still, you might not have figured out how to perform one of the basic actions: Deal melee damage. It’s not something that’s really encouraged when there are so many powerful weapons and items to choose from around the island. If you’re struggling to complete challenges like the recent Geralt of Rivia quest to deal melee weapon damage to opponents, we’ve got a quick and easy guide on how to do exactly that below. Contents What is a melee weapon in Fortnite? The primary melee weapon in Fortnite is your trusty Pickaxe! This means you’ll begin every match with a melee weapon at your fingertips, so completing any melee quests should actually be quite easy if you can get close enough to your opponents. There is another melee weapon in Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 1, and that’s the Shockwave Hammer. It will be much easier to deal damage with this weapon than the Pickaxe, so we’d recommend going down this route for any quests you have. There have been other melee weapons in Fortnite in the past, such as the limited-edition Lightsaber and the Sideways Scythe weapon. Players were even able to use Darth Vader’s Lightsaber at one point! How to deal melee damage in Fortnite The answer to this question is pretty simple: Instead of using weapons like Assault Rifles or throwable items like Grenades, you’ll need to utilize your trusty pickaxe to deal melee damage to other players. Players will normally use their pickaxe for farming wood, stone, and metal in Fortnite. These materials are used in building to create walls, roofs, and stairs that help defend against enemy fire and aid traversal. But the pickaxe can also be used to deal damage to enemies when you don’t have any weapons in your arsenal. This normally only happens early on in the game when players land on The Island with no items. Simply equip your pickaxe of choice and swing away to deal melee damage to your opponents. How much damage does the pickaxe do in Fortnite? There’s a reason most Fortnite players don’t use the pickaxe to deal damage to their opponents. Simply put, it’s a terrible offensive option that leaves you open to enemy fire as you have to get very close for it to work. It’s also not very powerful, with only 20 damage dealt per hit. It’s unlikely that you’ll land enough hits with a pickaxe to defeat an enemy player before they retaliate with a much stronger weapon or run away. Still, if it’s your only option, it’s certainly better than nothing. Besides, you might need to use the pickaxe to complete some of those weekly challenges to earn XP and max out your Battle Pass.

What is ‘mantling’ in Fortnite? How to mantle 5 times in 5 seconds – Dexerto
What is ‘mantling’ in Fortnite? How to mantle 5 times in 5 seconds Epic GamesMantling 5 times in 5 seconds is a weekly challenge in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, but how do you do that? And what even is a ‘mantle’? Let’s find out. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 introduced loads of features to the popular battle royale, with a big focus on the Zero Build mode and fresh ways to get around including sprinting and a driveable Armored Battle Bus. Another big new addition was mantling, which made navigating the island a lot easier when building was temporarily removed. This movement ability is still around now, but not everyone knows about it. Contents What does mantling mean in Fortnite? – How to mantle in Fortnite – How to mantle 5 times in 5 seconds in Fortnite – What does ‘mantling’ mean in Fortnite? Mantling is a new parkour-style maneuver that players can pull off in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, where your character grabs onto a ledge or the roof of a building and pulls themselves up. Before mantling was introduced in Fortnite, the only way to get to these high-up locations would be to either build a ramp or enter the building and look for stairs to climb up to the next floor. How to mantle in Fortnite To mantle in Fortnite, you simply need to jump towards a ledge and keep the jump button held down. You should then pull yourself up onto the building, cliff, or vehicle that you’ve jumped towards. Of course, the ledge that you’re aiming for should be within a reachable height – which is usually about one story up on a building. It also helps to sprint before mantling as you’ll cover more distance when jumping. How to mantle 5 times in 5 seconds in Fortnite One of the weekly challenges in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 requires you to ‘mantle 5 times in 5 seconds’ which is a tricky task. Your best bet is to head somewhere with lots of buildings like Condo Canyon. A quicker and sneakier method of completing this challenge is to build a set of giant stairs at least five stories high, alternating between walls and floors, and then quickly mantle up them in a row. How to damage an opponent within 10 seconds of mantling Another weekly challenge in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 requires you to ‘damage an opponent within 10 seconds of mantling’ which can be quite difficult, especially with the 10-second time limit. Read More: How to unlock the Prowler skin in Fortnite – The best approach is to land at a busy POI near the Battle Bus path so you’re guaranteed to see lots of other players, quickly grab an SMG or Assault Rifle, then keep on mantling until you spot an opponent.

What is happening with the Floating Island, Purple Cube and Runes in Fortnite? – Dexerto
What is happening with the Floating Island, Purple Cube and Runes in Fortnite? The mysterious purple cube in Fortnite Battle Royale has now caused two floating islands to appear on the map, the second one caused by lifting a ‘rune’ area out of the ground. At the start of season 6 in Fortnite, the mysterious purple cube suddenly elevated the center of what was previously Loot Lake, and it began moving across the map. Players also spotted areas featuring destroyed ground and strange ‘rune’ symbols, called corrupted zones, and the purple cube has now interacted with one of these areas. The purple cube appeared to lift the rune area up from out of the ground, and it has now become another floating island area. The small vents, possibly volcanic pits, filled with some kind of purple magma now surround the area. Located near Pleasant Park on the Fortnite map, the rune is now floating above ground. You can see it in game below, courtesy of FNBR. Credit: u/gforero And that’s not all, as parts of the purple cube appear to be splitting and being found in the underground cavern on the island. And the floating island/purple cube isn’t finished yet, as it continues to move around the map, currently moving across the Pleasant Park area. There are still six more rune locations that it is expected to visit, before it finally shows everyone what the big mystery is all about.

What is Fortnite’s The Squabble Emote? Viral TikTok dance explained – Dexerto
What is Fortnite’s The Squabble Emote? Viral TikTok dance explained Epic GamesAre you wondering what the new The Squabble Emote is referring to? Here’s everything you need to know about the viral TikTok dance behind Fortnite’s new Emote and how you can get it. Fortnite is no stranger to adding Emotes and cosmetics inspired by viral TikTok dance and music trends. Ever since Marshmello’s debut in Fortnite, Epic has had some major music collaborations with some of the world’s biggest artists. This includes Travis Scott, Eminem, and even Lady Gaga who headlined Season 2 of the new music Festival mode. Now, the developers have added The Squabble Emote to Fortnite. However, this has led many to question what the viral TikTok dance is, what the song being used is, and how to get the Emote. Here’s all the answers. What is The Squabble dance Emote in Fortnite? The Squabble is one of Fortnite’s many dance Emotes and was newly added to the game on February 28, 2024. The viral dance is also known as the “Left, Do It, Right, Do It” dance. It became a popular trend on TikTok after NFL football players C.J. Stroud and Chris Olave performed the dance as a touchdown celebration in September 2023. To perform the dance, participants alternate steps with their feet, while raising their arms and moving them to the left and then right. The simplistic nature of the dance has made it easy to replicate. Epic promoted the launch of the Emote across their socials, which features an un-released skin performing the viral dance at Snooty Steppes. But, what is that song that inspired the viral TikTok dance? What song is playing during Fortnite’s The Squabble Emote? The song playing during The Squabble Emote is “Soak City” by 310babii, Mustard, Blueface, Tyga, BlueBucksClan and Ohgeesy. Following NFL stars C.J. Stroud and Chris Olave sending the dance viral in September 2023 with their touchdown celebration, it instantly took over TikTok. It has spawned endless amounts of users performing the dance, as they move their feet and arms left and right, as per the lyrics: “Left, Do It, Right, Do It.” Despite the TikTok dance trend naturally losing its popularity over the months following and the NFL season being over, Epic Games has decided to add it as a new Fortnite Emote. Here’s how to get it. How to get the Squabble Emote in Fortnite? In order to get The Squabble Emote in Fortnite, you would need to purchase the Emote from the in-game Item Shop for 300 V-Bucks.

What is Fortnite’s Interstellar Bass emote? Viral TikTok reference explained – Dexerto
What is Fortnite’s Interstellar Bass emote? Viral TikTok reference explained Epic Games Inc.Has your gaming headset recently been blasted with late-90s Eurodance in a Fortnite lobby? Join us as we explain the viral TikTok reference behind Fortnite’s Interstellar Bass emote. Fortnite is no stranger to musical collabs. Ever since Marshmello opened Pandora’s box, we’ve seen concerts from Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, and more take over the battle royal shooter. With these concerts come other content like skins and emotes and the possibilities seem endless. Fortnite fans recently mocked up an insane-looking concept for a Gorrilaz collab but instead, we have the Interstellar Bass emote. So, what is this Interstellar Bass emote? What is the viral TikTok it’s referencing and why are you constantly hearing nonsense words in a nondescript European accent? Read on to find out more. What is the Interstellar Bass emote in Fortnite? Interstellar Bass is one of Fortnite’s many dance emotes and was added to the game on February 25, 2024. It costs a cool 500 V-Bucks but for many, it’s a worthwhile price to pay to be supremely annoying. The Interstellar Bass emote doubles as a traversal emote meaning you can use it to walk across the map as you blast its associated song into unsuspecting ears. But what is that song and why do you feel like you know it? What song is playing during Fortnite’s Interstellar Bass emote? The song playing during the Interstellar Bass emote is Planet of the Bass (feat. DJ Crazy Times & Ms. Biljana Electronica). The song was actually cooked up in a viral TikTok by Kyle Gordon. It enjoyed some time as a meme back in 2023 thanks to its hilarious and unfortunately accurate parody of late-90s Eurodance. During its moment in the sun, Gordon actually played the tune live at a Jonas Brothers concert. Much to the confusion of the audience. The song is filled with pensive lyrics but the ones you’ll be hearing on Fortnite are: “All of the dream / How does it mean / When we out in the space / On the planet of the bass.” Truly a masterpiece. As to why the team behind Fortnite decided to resurrect a months-old meme, we may never know. Their ways are strange and unusual. If you want to get good enough to drop folks using the Interstellar Bass emote, or stay alive long enough to annoy as many people as possible, check out our Fortnite guides.

What is Fortnite Paradise? Leaks and Chrome teasers explained – Dexerto
What is Fortnite Paradise? Leaks and Chrome teasers explained Epic GamesEpic Games have started to hint at something called Paradise in Fortnite, with plenty of teasers and leaks already popping up across the internet – but what does it all mean? There are just a few days left of Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 3, which means most of us are now eagerly looking ahead to whatever Epic Games has in store for the popular battle royale in its upcoming season. Although details have been scarce so far, we’re finally starting to see some teasers emerge. As well as the name ‘Paradise’, there have been some mysterious videos featuring liquid chrome spreading and taking over various objects. To try and make sense of what these teasers could mean for the future of Fortnite, we’ve rounded up all of the clues and leaks so far below. What is Fortnite Paradise? Although nothing has been confirmed by Epic Games, it seems pretty safe to assume that Paradise is the name of the next Fortnite season, which until now has been known only as Chapter 3: Season 4. The date featured on the Paradise website is September 18, 2022, which is when most people have predicted the next season will begin as it’s the day after the current Battle Pass is scheduled to end. What do all the Fortnite Paradise teasers mean? Since the Fortnite Paradise website was revealed, Epic Games have shared multiple live-action teaser videos across their social media channels including Twitter and TikTok. One video features a man pouring liquid chrome onto his cereal, only for it to harden in the bowl. Another stars a woman talking about organic pesticides until the same liquid chrome starts to cover her plants. With captions including “It consumes everything,” and “Chrome will consume all, Chrome will be all,” it does seem likely that the next Fortnite season will be focused on this strange liquid chrome taking over the Island. Mysterious substances spread across the map are a pretty common theme in Fortnite. The current season features the Reality Tree spreading its roots out, while Chapter 2: Season 6 placed Primal biomes around the map. As for how this liquid chrome will affect gameplay, some leakers have speculated that it could work like sand tunnelling, with players sinking into the chrome to sneak around. Another theory is that it will give some kind of power-up effect to players when they touch it. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what role this liquid chrome will play or what Paradise is truly about. In the meantime, we’ve rounded up everything we know about the new Fortnite season here.

Sidestepping Apple or Google’s official app stores by installing another marketplace to download software can leave your device vulnerable to everything from viruses, malware, spyware, etc. But some iOS/Android users are still reeling from the removal of Fortnite and looking for alternatives to get the popular game on their phones and tablets. That’s where people have been looking into a free App Store alternative that doesn’t have the need to jailbreak a device. What is AppValley? AppValley has been one of those marketplaces that went defunct and revived, but has been an alternative app marketplace. This is where some Fortnite users have been hoping to try their luck with getting into the free-to-play title on their mobile devices. But people often get hit with multiple crashes and the like since Apple’s software will detect and revoke app certificates if they come across unofficial content. Since Fortnite has been ousted on iOS, eager users have been hoping that these alt stores will let them drop onto the island once again. Inquiries into these app stores have been getting traction, especially for AppValley, as more mobile users try to bypass Apple’s deadlock with Fortnite. While people will recommend one alternative over another, there’s still plenty of official ways on other platforms to play Fortnite and avoid the intricacies of swerving the App Store.

What is a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? Where to find thermal scopes for Prowler challenge – Dexerto
What is a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? Where to find thermal scopes for Prowler challenge Epic GamesWhether you need a Thermal Weapon to complete a specific Fortnite challenge or because you simply want one of these powerful guns, we’ve got you covered. Our guide will run you through what makes Thermal Weapons so special in Fornite and where to find them. Fortnite’s fabulous array of guns and gadgets always keeps things interesting during the battle royale experience. The game has come on leaps since its debut back in 2017 and we’ve gone from being able to thank the bus driver to actually commandeering the vehicle itself. Some of the most popular items in Fortnite’s extensive inventory are Thermal Weapons. They offer something just a little bit different in Epic Games’ third-person shooter and are even required for certain challenges. Contents What is a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? – Where can you find a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? – Fortnite Headshot Prowler challenge – How many Thermal Weapons are in Fortnite? – What is a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? There’s currently one Thermal Weapon in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, and that’s the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle. When you aim with the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle in Fortnite, it gives the screen a blueish hue and if enemy players make a movement in your vision their heat signature glows on the scope. It helps you ignore the colors of your surroundings and easily identify nearby threats, allowing you to fire at them more confidently. It can be a big advantage for medium-to-long-distance shootouts. Where can you find a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite? Epic Games have given players a few different ways to procure a Thermal Weapon in Fortnite: Searching chests, keeping an eye on floor loot, defeating Huntmaster Saber, or defeating an IO Hunter. Floor loot and searching chests A fairly basic and rudimentary way of getting your hands on a Thermal Weapon, but the most tried and tested method. If you’re keen on getting the challenge done ASAP, then we advise you to drop into the map as far away from everyone as possible, giving yourself ample opportunity to loot as many chests unimpeded. You’ll have a better chance of finding one by searching high-tier chests. Defeating Huntmaster Saber A new boss introduced in Fortnite, Huntmaster Saber is part of the IO and we have a full guide here showing you where to find him and how to beat him. Doing so will net you the Mythic Thermal Rifle. Defeating IO Hunters This is another smaller boss in Fortnite. You are guaranteed to find one in the current ‘Help The Seven Reclaim’ location if you complete the mission. Beating one will drop a normal Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle. How to complete Fortnite’s headshot Prowler challenge Fornite Chapter 3 Season 2 welcomed the Prowler into the game, and to obtain the skin, one challenge required players to ‘Headshot opponents with a Thermal Weapon’ – three times. It’s not the most difficult task that fans of the game have been presented with, but, obviously, locating the weapon itself is a requirement. How many Thermal Weapons are in Fortnite? At present, Fortnite only has one Thermal Weapon that you can obtain – the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle. It was introduced in 2018 and has stuck around ever since, popping its head in and out of the vault from season to season. It doesn’t seem like Epic has any plans to introduce any additional Thermal Weapons, but you never know what the Fortnite universe will do next.

What is a Combat Cache in Fortnite & how to get it – Dexerto
What is a Combat Cache in Fortnite & how to get it Epic GamesBesides the standard chests and vending machines, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 adds combat caches as a new loot source for players to plunder. Here’s everything we know about them. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 included a plethora of new features never previously seen in the game. Several of the new items and mechanics have made substantial changes to the Battle Royale experience, such as the Grind Rails, which allows players to ride around Mega City, and the Kinetic Blade, which can be used to quickly travel around the island. Supply Drops, which were introduced in Chapter 1 and granted players Epic to Legendary loot, were one such aspect that was totally eliminated from the game. Epic has finally done away with Supply Drops in Battle Royale after six years, replacing them with a new way to farm random loot across the island called Combat Cache. Here are what Combat Caches are and how you can get your hands on one. What is a Combat Cache in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2? Like the Supply Drop, Combat Caches are special containers that randomly appear. They fall from the sky via a rift and land in a random spot on the island, alerting surrounding players with a symbol and an in-game message. The rarity of its contents is reflected in the color of its visible beacon. For instance, if the Cache emits a purple beam, it will contain Epic rarity items and will be granted to players as soon as they open one. How to open a Combat Cache Combat Caches spawn randomly across the island usually around eight minutes into a Battle Royale match. In order to claim a Combat Cache, players simply have to head over near one and interact with it. Players can claim its contents by interacting with it, at which point a countdown will begin. A minimum of two weapons, consumables, and materials will be dropped after the duration expires. The timer lasts roughly around 50 seconds, so make sure you have enough loot and consumables in your loadout to defend yourselves against any enemies that you may come across. The value of the loot in the Combat Cache decreases over time, as shown by the change of color in the cache’s beam. Hence you must hurry along and get to one as soon as it spawns on the map. The longer it goes unclaimed, the rarity decreases from Legendary to Epic to Rare. Open one Combat Cache and claim items from it to complete this week’s quest in exchange for 35,000 XP So, there you have it – that’s everything you need to know about a Combat Cache in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2!

What each special item does in Avengers: Endgame LTM – Captain America’s Shield, Infinity Stones, and more – Dexerto
What each special item does in Avengers: Endgame LTM – Captain America’s Shield, Infinity Stones, and more Epic GamesThe highly-anticipated Limited Time Mode for Avengers: Endgame has finally arrived in Fortnite Battle Royale, and we’re here to make sure you’re all caught up on how it works. Released on April 25, the v8.50 update introduced the Endgame LTM in Fortnite BR, in celebration of the worldwide release of Avengers: Endgame in theaters on April 26. The mode pits a team of heroes against the villain Thanos and his army of Chitauri, and all players respawn until one team manages to complete their designated objective and clinch the Victory Royale. The goal for the heroes is to destroy all of the Chitauri Invaders and then Thanos himself, which is tricky because Thanos keeps respawning until every member of the Chitauri is defeated. As for Team Thanos, their objective is to recover all six Infinity Stones hidden throughout the map, at which point the players on the heroes side will stop respawning and ultimately get defeated. Captain America’s Shield At the start of each match, the team of heroes is given access to four mythical items from the world of Avengers, each with its own damage profile and special abilities. One of these four items is the iconic shield carried around by Captain America, and the following are its properties: 300 health – 300 shield – Extended standard jump – Shield block – Shield throw – Iron Man’s Gauntlet 300 health – 300 shield – Gliding double jump – Projectile hand lasers (35 blast damage) – Thor’s Stormbreaker hammer 300 health – 300 shield – Extended jump – Ground Slam – Projectile throw which returns Stormbreaker to your hands – Hawkeye’s Bow 300 health – 300 shield – Grapple – Shoots an explosive projectile arrow – Thanos and the Chitauri Facing the team of heroes is Thanos and his army of Chitauri, both of whom have their own special characteristics and potential to cause damage. Hours after the Endgame LTM was released, Epic Games made a small change to Thanos’ damage profile, giving it a slight increase. 2,000 health – 2,000 shield – Increased jump – hold to charge – Ground slam (225 damage) – Power punch (200 damage) – Throw (100 damage) – Laser beam – As for the Chitauri, they are also given the ability to hover above the ground, and their weapon arsenal is nothing to be overlooked. 175 health – 175 shield – Jet pack with unlimited boost – Laser rifle – Energy launcher – Infinity Stones There are six Infinity Stones hidden throughout the map that Thanos and the Chitauri have to find in order to defeat the heroes. In addition to being required to win the match, each of the Stones provide a boost to Thanos’ power and the health points of each Chitauri. Reality Stone (Red) = Heath & Shields doubled (1000->2000) – Soul Stone (Orange) = Siphon activated (grants Thanos shields only) – Mind Stone (Yellow) = Jump height doubled – Space Stone (Blue) = Ground Pound AOE size tripled, damage x6 – Time Stone (Green) = Big knockback added to each hit, damage x3 – Power Stone (Purple) = Laser damage x6 –

What does the mystery Fortnite Snowfall skin look like? Data miners leak full outfit – Dexerto
What does the mystery Fortnite Snowfall skin look like? Data miners leak full outfit Following the v7.30 update for Fortnite Battle Royale, the full Snowfall skin has been revealed as data miners get their hands on the patch files. The Snowfall skin is directly linked to Season 7’s ongoing Snowfall bonus challenges where players are required to find secret Battle Stars and Banners after completing all of the standard challenges for a week. The identity and appearance of the skin has remained a mystery for much of the season, as players aim to complete the Snowfall challenges to unlock the skin, but leakers have now unveiled the full outfit. Following the v7.30 content update on January 29, the game files in Fortnite were updated, and data miners immediately got to work. Here’s what the Snowfall skin looks like in its entirety. Fortnite v7.30 patch notes: Chiller Grenade added, Bolt-action Sniper and other weapons vaultedThe data miner known as@s1l0x on Twitter shared a number of part-images and meshes on January 17 that appear to show a prisoner in the dungeon at Polar Peak. The leaker’s theory is that this prisoner will be the Snowfall skin: “Inside of the dungeon below the Ice Castle (img.1). Inside the Ice is a mesh for a ‘Penguin_Block’ (img. 2) which connects to the chains. That mesh references a prisoner skin (img. 3) which I am 99% sure will be the snowfall skin. The prisoner had a T1 File. Tier 1?” Judging by the arm shown in these images, it certainly looks like Snowfall is indeed the prisoner trapped inside the castle – soon to break free. With Season 7 now approaching its final weeks, the thoughts of many Fortnite fans are on what to expect when Season 8 rolls around. Traditionally, the stories from challenges like the Road Trip, Blockbuster and Hunting Party have given us vague clues about what’s coming next. If that’s the case again this time around, the official reveal of the mystery Snowfall skin, whenever it happens, is sure to answer a lot of questions and leave us with even more!

What does Rank Protected mean in Fortnite? – Dexerto
What does Rank Protected mean in Fortnite? Epic GamesEver wondered why you got a rank protected message even after a bad match in Fortnite? Check out how Fortnite’s rank protection works. What does ranked protected mean in Fortnite? You’ve probably stumbled upon this message a few times if you regularly play ranked matches in Fortnite. Normally, you’d lose ranked progress after playing badly. Maybe you were sent back to the lobby before you could even loot anything, or you didn’t even manage to survive the first circle with a single elimination, yet this message still popped up. If you’re curious about what the rank protected message means and how it works, this is everything you need to know. Fortnite: Rank Protected message explained The ‘rank protected’ message in Fortnite means you didn’t lose ranked points from the match you just played. Though it only kicks in during your first ranked match of the day. After that, you’ll be risking your rank progress as per usual. Think of it as a daily loss prevention feature that makes warming up or playing in ranked more forgiving. This feature was first brought up on an X post in October 2023. According to FortniteStatus, the Daily Ranked Loss Protection “will not reduce your Ranked progress” even if you “performed poorly.” Rank Protection reset time in Fortnite Rank protection resets at 8PM ET or 1AM BST daily. After you get your first rank-protected message, waiting for the next reset is generally a safe option to maintain your rank. But if you’re feeling bold and know how to find and use the most OP items in the current chapter, feel free to keep going. Who knows, you might end up racking points after securing a Victory Royale. How to protect your rank in Fortnite Losing sucks, and seeing your points and rank go down feels even worse. If you’d like to protect your rank, we suggest playing ranked once a day due to the rank protection benefit. The thing about this feature is that you don’t need to do anything specific to activate it. All you need is to jump into a ranked match, and it will automatically act as a safety net for your first match of the day.

What does Pandora’s Box do? Fortnite live event explained – Dexerto
What does Pandora’s Box do? Fortnite live event explained Epic GamesPandora’s Box has been opened, and with it comes a variety of chaos unfolding in Fortnite lobbies everywhere. Here’s what’s happened since the box has been opened. Chapter 5 Season 2 of Fortnite is nearly here, but before it drops, Epic Games assembled a special in-game mini-event. Multiple earthquakes led to a giant Titan Hand spawning on the map holding Pandora’s Box, the fabled Greek mythology box home to evil, power, and chaotic elements. Within 24 hours, players freed the box from the chains that bound it, which led to the box opening. Since it opened, it’s spawned loads of chaos in Fortnite. With that in mind, here’s everything that’s happened as a result of Pandora’s Box opening. Pandora’s Box effect on Fortnite Before the event, leaks pretty much revealed everything players could expect come the event’s launch. To recap, the Titan Hand would pop out of the cracks in the ground, holding Pandora’s Box high above the ground. Now that the event is live and the box is open, here’s everything that’s come as a result. Pandora’s Box POI Opening Pandora’s Box has unleashed a giant fiery vortex that can be used to launch yourself provided you jump into it. However, a closer look at the vortex, and you’ll see fiery souls and hear the screams of said souls. As you can imagine, the vortex is visible from the Spawn Island and the air as well while you deploy onto the map. Building in Zero Build Pandora’s Box is an object containing immense power and evil, and playing heavily into that ideal, players have discovered building has been enabled in Zero Build mode. To clarify, it seems only killing bots will grant materials iFireMonkey stated in a follow-up to their video. However, there may be more ways of gaining mats, although it’s unclear as of now. A few hours after this was discovered, it was quickly fixed, indicating this may have been a bug. Maybe Pandora’s Box is meant to break the game. We’ll be sure to keep this updated as more changes and effects come to light. For now, keep your eyes peeled for what Pandora’s Box holds for Fortnite.

What is Heat Level in Fortnite? How to raise it & all perks explained – Dexerto
What is Heat Level in Fortnite? How to raise it & all perks explained Epic GamesHeat Level is a new feature that’s arrived in Fortnite as part of the Most Wanted event, so here’s what it means as well as the perks you can get for raising your Heat Level. Fortnite’s Most Wanted event has begun, with the Cold Blooded syndicate taking over the Island, rare Exotic Weapons to be found in Vaults, and a series of quests that offer free cosmetics as a reward. One feature that might leave players a little confused, though, is the new Heat Level. This appears on the screen during every Battle Royale match, but it’s not immediately clear how it affects your game. Below, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about Heat in Fortnite – including the perks you’ll get for increasing it. What does Heat Level mean in Fortnite? Fortnite’s new Heat Level meter appears as a series of flames in the top left corner of the screen and it indicates how much attention is being paid to you by the Cold Blooded syndicate. The Cold Blooded syndicate is a new group of aggressive NPCs that will be appearing around the Island during the Most Wanted event. When you have any amount of Heat on you, they will attack you on sight. It’s also important to point out that having Heat means other players will be able to see you marked on the minimap, so it’s going to become a lot harder to sneak up on your opponents and take them out. How to raise your Heat Level in Fortnite Your Heat Level will increase as you eliminate opponents and open Cold Blooded Vaults. These are special Vaults that can only be opened with Keycards that Cold Blooded Bosses drop when defeated. You can also raise your Heat Level by spending Gold Bars at Burner Pay Phones located around the Island. You can spot Burner Pay Phones on the minimap as they’ll appear as little telephone symbols. Although increasing your Heat Level will put you at a higher risk of being targeted by NPCs and other players, it also comes with a series of useful perks which we’re going to outline below. What perks do you get with each Heat Level stage? Your Heat Level will reset at the end of every match, which means you’ll need to increase it every time you play if you want those perks. That’s everything you need to know about Heat in Fortnite!

What Does Fortnite’s Release on SHIELD TV Mean for Android Users? – Dexerto
What Does Fortnite’s Release on SHIELD TV Mean for Android Users? Epic Games’ Fortnite is now available to play on the Nvidia SHIELD TV, but what does that mean for Android users around the world that are waiting to play the game on their phone? The new GeForce NOW cloud gaming service for SHIELD TV owners has been rolled out for users across the US. It comes with a range of AAA gaming titles available to be streamed to their Android TV box. The most notable of these is Fortnite, a game that has taken over the world in 2018 and is also available to play on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and iOS. #Fortnite Season 5 is live and available to play on #GeForceNOW. Here’s everything you need to know! pic.twitter.com/nW37MmPtPB — NVIDIA SHIELD (@NVIDIASHIELD) July 12, 2018 Epic Games has promised that an Android version of the game is also on the way but, despite Nvidia’s SHIELD device technically using an Android operating system, the can the GeForce NOW Fortnite experience really be classed as an Android release? One could, perhaps, argue that the SHIELD TV version of the game is also the first Android version, but the technicalities involved with cloud software mean that you’re probably just playing another version of the game which is then streamed to the SHIELD. It certainly seems to be a step in the right direction, but we are still no closer to knowing an exact date for the Android release and can only go off of information from previous statements. Epic Games announced in May that the Android version of Fortnite would be released sometime this summer and the expectation is that it will happen before the end of Season 5, which will occur in September. Fortnite was released on iOS in March of 2018 and has been a massive success, quickly becoming one of the most played mobile games on the planet and earning Epic Games a great deal of revenue in the process.

What does 2018 07 12 mean in Fortnite? – Dexerto
What does 2018 07 12 mean in Fortnite? Epic GamesThe Fortnitemares 2023 update has led to players finding Kado Thorne’s Time Machine that features the mysterious date 2018 07 12, so here’s everything we know about what happened back then and what it means now. Fortnite returned with its annual Fortnitemares event on October 10, 2023 bringing a plethora of exciting new additions to the game. The fan-favorite update features Fortnitemares-specific quests, cosmetic rewards, LTM modes, a fully revamped UI, and more. Furthermore, the Halloween-themed classic items such as the Pumpkin Launcher and Witch Broom were also brought back to the game. As players have dropped into the game for the highly anticipated event, so too have the leakers. They didn’t take long to find in-game info and items, such as a Time Machine, that points towards the original Chapter 1 maps returning to the game. The Time Machine found on the island shows the date 2018 07 12 marked on it, but what does it mean? And exactly what happened on July 12, 2018 in the Battle Royale which is hyping up long-term fans of the game? Here’s everything we know about the date 2018 07 12 and what it means for the future of Fortnite. What happened on 12th July 2018 in Fortnite? After only a few hours since the Fortnitemares update was released, one of the biggest easter eggs in a Time Machine was found at the Frenzy Fields POI. It is believed to belong to this season’s vampire boss and time traveler Kado Thorne. Therefore, the date 2018 07 12 featured on the time machine is rumored to be where Kado Thorne will ultimately head back to in the upcoming season. More specifically, the date July 12, 2018 is in fact the exact date Chapter 1 Season 5 was released. This would take Fortnite right back to its roots when its popularity was at an all-time high. The slogan for Season 5 was “Worlds Collide.” The theme was centered around different worlds colliding after the previous season’s lore had blasted the map apart which brought along major changes to the island from rifts. A mysterious purple cube also appeared on the island, which was summoned through a giant rift in the sky, created by The Visitor’s rocket. Kevin The Cube became a fan-favorite item, and it slowly moved across the island during the season before eventually ending up at Loot Lake and dissolving into the water. Season 5 featured new additions such as the Rift-To-Go, the Heavy Sniper rifle, an All-Terrain Kart, and the infamously overpowered double-barrel shotgun which is still vaulted in Chapter 4 Season 4. As well as the original map POI Moisty Mire was replaced by the Desert, bringing in a new location with it called Paradise Palms. Similarly, Anarchy Acres was replaced by Lazy Links. None of these locations currently exist in the game. It is not known why Kado Thorne would want to go back to this specific timeline in Fortnite canon. However, this would take the game five years back in the lore to a time when Battle Royale was at the peak of its popularity and it was drastically different. That’s everything we know about what happened on 2018 07 12 in Fortnite and what it means for Battle Royale players! We’ve also got plenty of tips and tricks available to help you out in the new season, so make sure to check out our guide content: How to level up fast in Fortnite | How to get V-Bucks in Fortnite | Rarest skins in Fortnite | What are the best Fortnite skins ever? | How many people play Fortnite? | How to win in Fortnite | How to refer a friend in Fortnite | All Fortnite crossovers & collabs | Best guns in Fortnite | Best Fortnite landing spots | Fortnite dances list | Where to find all Exotic & Mythic weapons in Fortnite | Are there any free V-Bucks codes in Fortnite? | How to play Fortnite split-screen | How to get free Fortnite skins

What changed in the March 29 Fortnite update? v8.20.1 Patch notes – Dexerto
What changed in the March 29 Fortnite update? v8.20.1 Patch notes Epic Games have released a surprise patch on March 29 for PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms aimed at fixing a number of bugs and issues that have been plaguing Fortnite fans for some time. Epic Games announced the release of the patch on Thursday, March 28, stating that a new client update was coming that would include “bug fixes and stability improvements” for the game. The patch, which required zero downtime, released at 2am PST / 5am EST / 9am GMT on all platforms, with Epic Games releasing a detailed list of all the issues that were addressed in the Fortnite update. We have deployed a new patch to fix some bugs and stability issues. The list of fixes will be available soon. This update will not require downtime. — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) March 29, 2019 Trap Fixes One of the most requested fixes in the aftermath of the Fortnite v8.20 update was for Traps, which had stopped working when placed on a wall that had a ramp built directly in front of it. This issue was making it impossible for players to use traps in confined spaces, especially when someone had broken into your box to attack you. Thankfully, this will no longer be an issue, as Epic have addressed it and fixed the problem, meaning your traps will once again work. The Baller and Boogie Bombs Another bug that appeared in the days following the v8.20 update was with The Baller, as players who were hit by Boogie Bombs while driving one were not ejected from the vehicle, and instead could drive around without consequences, as Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney found out. This will no longer be the case with v8.20.1, as players will now be thrown out of The Baller to start jiving once they get hit by one of the grenades. Epic have released a full list of the updates and fixes made in the v8.20.1 update, which covers all three of Fortnite’s game modes – Battle Royale, Creative, and Save the World. . You can read the patch notes below.

What are Wraps in Fortnite? Season 7 adds new weapon and vehicle skins – Dexerto
What are Wraps in Fortnite? Season 7 adds new weapon and vehicle skins Epic GamesOne of the new additions to Fortnite Battle Royale for Season 7 has been a long time request, as players will now be able to personalize weapons and vehicles with the new ‘Wraps’ option. Instead of every weapon you pick up just being the boring old grey color, you will be able to equip new Wraps by levelling up your battle pass. And not just weapons, as vehicles like the Quadcrasher can also be customized with Wraps too, giving them a much more personal feel when in game. Update: Here’s a look at every wrap available in the Season 7 Battle Pass, plus what tier you will unlock it. Epic Games will probably add more in the shop too throughout Season 7. We got a first glimpse at these new Wraps being applied to weapons and vehicles in the trailer, showing the standard Assault Rifle is one of the weapons which can be personalized. In the official patch notes, only Rifles and Shotguns are mentioned, so it sounds like certain other weapons such as pistols or SMG’s may not have wraps available (yet). Give your weapons and vehicles a new look with Wraps. Level up your Battle Pass to unlock different Wraps, then equip them in your locker to items like vehicles, shotguns, rifles and more. Here’s an example of Wraps on the Assault Rifle, which even for just plain red and blue certainly make the weapons a lot better to look at, and we can only imagine how creative the developers will get with these. Another weapon Wrap was shown on the legendary Assault Rifle in the official Season 7 image, held by the new Zenith skin. Also shown was examples of Wraps on the Quadcrasher. Presumably you will be able to use wraps on all vehicles in the game – including the new Stormwing plane. For players who have grown to love weapon camo’s in other games, the new Wraps feature will be one of the most exciting additions to Fortnite in Season 7. The trailer also shows what they look like in-game, and you can definitely notice them even in third-person, as is shown with the burst AR. Watch the official Season 7 battle pass trailer below, with Wraps shown at the 0:17 second mark.

What are the differences between Fortnite’s Suppressed Assault Rifle and SCAR? Full auto comparison, DPS and more – Dexerto
What are the differences between Fortnite’s Suppressed Assault Rifle and SCAR? Full auto comparison, DPS and more If you’re still unsure what the differences between the SCAR and Suppressed Assault Rifle in Fortnite Battle Royale are, one helpful Reddit user has you covered! The all-new Suppressed Assault Rifle was added to the game as part of the V5.40 Content Update on September 11, and players immediately noticed the similarities between it and the normal SCAR. Technically speaking, the “SCAR” is just the epic and legendary variant of the standard Assault Rifle, with the appearance of a SCAR, and the Suppressed Assault Rifle looks virtually identical, but with a silencer attached. The weapons do perform differently, though, as GizmoSlipTV displayed in a side-by-side comparison video that also shows how they stack up against the Suppressed Pistol. The standard, non-suppressed, version of the weapon provides better damage per second (DPS) at close range and the “bloom” is more accurate when firing full auto. It can also achieve a respectable 59 DPS when tap firing. As GizmoSlip explains, the Suppressed Assault Rifle actually provides better long range DPS when tap firing at an impressive 70 DPS but it needs to be fired in five round bursts at short range because the bloom becomes almost impossible to control. GizmoSlip’s findings seem to confirm the feeling that most players have been getting while using the new Suppressed Assault Rifle – it’s good, but the original SCAR is still more powerful in terms of damage and ease of use. However, the new weapon is extremely strong in the hands of players that are good at using the Fortnite’s first shot accuracy (FSA) mechanic to accurately tap fire opponents at long range. Add the bonus of the it being almost impossible for players to work out where they are being shot from and the Suppressed Assault Rifle suddenly becomes a great deal more appealing for skilled players.

Where to find Hot Spots in Fortnite? – Dexerto
Where to find Hot Spots in Fortnite? Epic GamesHot Spots have returned in Fortnite for Chapter 5, but what is a Hot Spot? And where can you find and land at them? Here is everything you need to know. Fortnite has been well underway with Chapter 5 Season 1 as the season has started to draw to a close. This sesason has seen a whole overhaul of brand-new additions and changes that have freshened up the meta and how players compete to get themselves a Victory Royale. These include a Chapter 5 map, numerous NPC bosses, weapons and items, as well as the meta changing introduction of Medallions. Another key addition to make use of in your matches is Hot Spots. After making a return in the final update of Fortnite Season OG, Hot Spots can also be found in Season 1 of Chapter 5. Now, with the TMNT Cowabunga event and the release of the Give ‘Em Shell Quests, players will need to “Land at a Hot Spot” to earn 300 Ooze. But, what exactly are they? And how can you find and land at them? Here is everything we know. What are Hot Spots in Fortnite? Hot Spots are unique named locations that are chosen at random at the start of each Fortnite match in Battle Royale. If you visit one of these special POIs, there will be flying Loot Drones that carry high-rarity weapons inside of them. You can shoot these flying drones out of the sky and stock up on some powerful weapons and healing items when they hit the ground, which will give you a head-start against the competition. Typically there is between 12 – 16 Loot Drones found at each Hot Spot POI location. Where to find and land at a Hot Spot in Fortnite In order to find a Hot Spot to land at in Fortnite, you will need to use your map at the start of each Battle Royale match and any gold location names on the map are Hot Spots. Just check your in-game map while in the Battle Bus to see where you need to land, then choose one of the two Hot Spot locations per game to drop out and land at. As shown below, all other POI locations It’s likely that these Hot Spots will be filled with other players trying to get their hands on high-rarity weapons just like you, so keep an eye out for danger.

What are Funding Stations in Fortnite & why are they disabled? – Dexerto
What are Funding Stations in Fortnite & why are they disabled? Epic GamesWondering what Funding Stations are in Fortnite? We’ve got the answers you need, as well as details on how to donate and locations for every Funding Station in Chapter 3 Season 2. While there are loads of powerful weapons, fun items, and drivable vehicles in Fortnite that can be used to help you win that elusive Victory Crown, sometimes you need a little something extra. That’s where Funding Stations come into play. These pop-up stations give you a chance to unlock a new or previously vaulted item that can turn the tide when you’re approaching the final few players. But where can you find Funding Stations in Fortnite? And how do you use them? Let’s find out. Contents What are Funding Stations in Fortnite? Funding Stations (sometimes referred to as Donation Stations) are special pop-ups on the Fortnite map that allow players to donate Gold Bars to help ‘unlock’ a new or vaulted weapon, item, or vehicle to use. The first kind of Funding Station has a set goal to reach, with players around the world donating Gold Bars until the goal is met. Then, whatever they’re funding, whether it’s a Turret or a Battle Bus, will be unlocked. The second kind of Funding Station is a ‘vote’ where players donate Gold Bars to one of two items they’d prefer to see added to the loot pool. This is usually a choice between two weapons or throwable items. Funding Station locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 The first Funding Stations this season were for the Armored Battle Bus. These could be found near Synapse Station and Sanctuary, although they’ve both been funded and you can now drive the Battle Bus! The next available Funding Station is a vote between the MK-Seven Assault Rifle and the Combat Assault Rifle, and you can find Funding Stations for them at any major POI, so finding one won’t be difficult. Read More: All NPC locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 – To decide between the MK-Seven Assault Rifle and the Combat Assault Rifle, simply donate as many Gold Bars as you want to your preferred weapon. Why are Funding Stations disabled in Fortnite? If you’ve launched Fortnite lately, you might have noticed that there’s a warning explaining that ‘Funding Stations are currently disabled’ meaning players can’t currently donate Gold Bars. Epic Games have tweeted that they’ve “temporarily disabled” Funding Stations due to a “stability issue” although every donation made so far will still be counted towards the vote. We’ve temporarily disabled the Combat AR vs MK-7 Vote funding stations while we resolve a stability issue. Bars already spent have still contributed to your chosen item, and we’ll provide an update when funding has resumed. pic.twitter.com/ssv2xqb6YG — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) April 5, 2022 There will likely be a fix at some point in the coming days so your donations can get back on track, so keep an eye out.

What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite and how to play them – Dexerto
What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite and how to play them Epic GamesCreator-made islands in Fortnite allow players to flex their creative prowess and handcraft experiences for other users, and the process of making and joining islands is relatively simple. Player creativity has become a focal point in Fortnite, with Epic Games providing players tools to create nearly whatever they want. This ideal reached new heights with Creative 2.0, as players created insane playable levels. While it may not catch every player’s fancy, sometimes quests require players to play a few of these created maps and modes, aka Creator Made Islands: for example, the TMNT Cowabunga event tasked players with this very objective. Here’s what Creator Made Islands are and how you can play them in Fortnite Chapter 5. What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite? Creator Made Islands refer to any Creative map within the game. These maps have been created in Creative 2.0 and UEFN by Fortnite players, not Epic Games. You can easily check if the map is or is not a Creative map by looking at the thumbnail. If the level has an Epic Games logo in the top left of the thumbnail then it is not a player-made map, as shown above. Alternatively, if it doesn’t have the Epic Games logo then you can be sure it is a Creator Made Island. Here are all the maps that are official Epic Games maps and not Creator Made Islands: Battle Royale – Ranked Battle Royale – Zero Build – Ranked Zero Build – Rocket Racing – Fortnite Festival Main Stage – Fortnite Festival Jam Stage – LEGO Fortnite – JokeNite – Competitive Cups – How to play Creator Made Islands in Fortnite You can find Creator Made Islands in Fortnite’s discovery tab, which is easily accessible from the main Lobby Menu. Just navigate or scroll down, and you can then view and select all the different maps and modes that are playable. There are various ways you can earn XP from each Creative map. Deathruns usually feature XP Coins throughout the course that you can pick up and collect, while other islands will include XP shops that allow you to earn XP by completing basic tasks.

What are Channels in LEGO Fortnite and how to use them? – Dexerto
What are Channels in LEGO Fortnite and how to use them? Epic GamesThe introduction of the Wrench to LEGO Fortnite allows for a deeper level of vehicle customization via Channels. Here’s everything you need to know about them. LEGO Fortnite’s latest update puts vehicular power into the players’ hands, as vehicles are now in-game and usable for quick trips around the map. With vehicles, there’s a surprising amount of equipment needed to get your car up and running. Aside from that, there’s also a ton of customization options for the super builders who have proven to go above and beyond. Enter the Channels system, a way to modify Thruster-operated systems. How to use Channels in LEGO Fortnite Thruster-based systems use Thrusters and Switches, with the former providing a rocket boost and the latter triggering said boost. However, before update 29.10, all Switches and Thrusters were linked, meaning one Switch would trigger all the boosts. With 29.10, the Wrench allows players to resolve that issue via Channels. Using the image above as an example, there are three channels you can assign Thrusters to. In this case, each Thruster and Switch is assigned to its own channel, meaning flicking a switch will trigger each Thruster individually. To assign Thrusters and Switches to channels, you’ll need to have the Wrench. Once you have that, interact with the Thrusters and Switches to change what channels each is linked to. You can also link multiple Thrusters to the same channel, although it’s unsure what the maximum number of linked Thrusters is.

These include quests, playing new game modes and Creative maps, earning Survivor Medals, getting a Victory Royale, and Accolades.\n\n\n\nEpic has greatly increased the amount of Accolades you can achieve in Chapter 5 Season 4, which has given players tons more ways to earn extra XP while playing Fortnite.\n\n\n\nHere’s what they are in Fortnite and how you can acquire them to complete certain Fortnite quests associated with them.\n\n\n\nWhat are Accolades and how to get them in a Fortnite match\n\n\n\nYou can earn XP by completing Accolades during your matches.\n\n\n\nAccolades are small achievements in Fortnite that are given out automatically for achieving certain goals in a Battle Royale match. You’ll see a notification like the one seen in the image above after you’ve got an accolade and you will then receive XP as your reward.\n\n\n\nAbove you can see the 500 XP reward for earning the Shotgun Master accolade for doing 1000 Shotgun damage to enemies during a match. In Fortnite, there are a plethora of Accolades up for grabs, all of which you can accomplish numerous times, but only once per Battle Royale match.\n\n\n\nAfter the match concludes, head to the Match Stats section to view your medals and other Accolades you achieved during that match. However, you can also view your open collections and all the accolades from the lobby menu.\n\n\n\nHow to open Collections and view Accolades\n\n\n\nTo open Collections and view Accolades, you will need to head to the Quests tab from the main Fortnite lobby menu, select Collections, and then choose Accolades to view them.\n\n\n\nThere are 8 types of Accolades you can get in Fortnite.\n\n\n\nYou will need to do this to complete the “”Open Collections and view Accolades”” Jumpstart Quest in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. As soon as you access the Accolades screen, you will instantly be granted 15,000 XP as your quest completion reward.\n\n\n\nThe Accolades screen showcases all the available Accolades in Fortnite, the 8 different Accolade types, how to complete them, and how many times you have completed them in Fortnite.\n\n\n\nList of all Accolades in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4\n\n\n\nThere are 166 Accolades in Fortnite, compared to the 174 there were in the previous season. Here’s a list of all of the Accolades and how to complete them during a Battle Royale or Zero Build match:\n\n\n\nAccoladeHow to completeTypeEarly BirdFirst player to pick up a legendary or better

Wendy’s takes surprising stance on Fortnite’s burgers vs. pizza debate – Dexerto
Wendy’s takes surprising stance on Fortnite’s burgers vs. pizza debate Wendy’s, the international food-chain that specializes in burgers, has taken a firm and active stance in the ongoing Fortnite debate of pizza vs burgers. The question arose earlier in November when Fortnite tweeted a poll-question asking their followers if they preferred ‘Beef Boss’ or ‘Tomatohead,’ two in-game skins depicting mascots for the fictitious chains Durrr Burger and Pizza Pit. Thesituation escalated when food trucks for each restaurant were seen competing for territory throughout the Fortnite’s sprawling map. In a surprising series of events, Wendy’s has sided with Team Pizza, claiming they spotted freezers at Durrr Burger locations in game that go against Wendy’s philosophy of “Fresh, Never Frozen” when it pertains to hamburger meat. We never joined #TeamBurger because Durrr Burger is full of freezers and we don’t clown around with the frozen beef. So now we’ll officially declare #TeamPizza and start the real fight, the war on frozen beef. — Wendy’s (@Wendys) November 29, 2018 At the time of writing, Wendy’s is taking a persistent position on the matter by broadcasting on Twitch to solidify its anti-frozen-burger agenda. With a ‘verified’ checkmark in tow, the Wendy’s Twitch account has repeatedly landed at the Durrr Burger location with a squad all dressed in the Fable skin modeled after Little Red Riding Hood (which is also is a clear callback to the iconic Wendy’s logo) and proceeded to destroy the restaurant repeatedly. Although a fun-spirited move by the burger-chain’s social media team, so far it has been an incredibly successful move with many in Twitch chat suggesting this stunt will prompt them eating there tonight. Watch live video from wendys on www.twitch.tvSince the stream’s start, the new Twitch account has over 4,000 followers, an impressive 3,000 concurrent viewers, and they even managed to win a game! At the time of writing, no one seems to have stepped up to lend a helping hand towards poor Durrr Burger as their restaurant is getting continually destroyed and blasted on social media.

Weird Fortnite glitch lets players walk around after being downed – Dexerto
Weird Fortnite glitch lets players walk around after being downed It appears that the “down but not out” concept has taken a whole new meaning in Fortnite Battle Royale thanks to a strange new glitch. Players have reported that an odd bug in the game is allowing them to continue walking around despite being downed by an enemy player. Reddit user ‘HTXWaltDisney’ posted a clip online in which an opponent shot him down to the point where he had no more health remaining, but instead of crawling on the floor, he was able to continue to move around as normal. The clip even shows the player’s health being in full red, which signifies that they’re down and need reviving, and the character even did a movement that looked like he was going down, but then straightened back up and continued walking. As powerful and game-breaking as this glitch may seem at first glance, there are certain limitations to it that the video does not reveal. For one, players who are able to move around in this situation are unable to shoot, pick up weapons, or interact with the environment in any way. In fact, according to another player’s comment, teammates and enemies still see the downed player as downed and crawling, despite the fact that the player is able to move around on their own screen. Once this clip was posted on Reddit, players even began using it to come up with ideas for potential Limited Time Modes in Fortnite, including one where every player’s health is in a state of constant depletion and the only way to stop the damage is to find enemies to eliminate or healing items to heal with.

Week 9 Elimination Stats for Friday Fortnite Tournament Show Impressive Tally for Winners – Dexerto
Week 9 Elimination Stats for Friday Fortnite Tournament Show Impressive Tally for Winners Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s weekly ‘Friday Fortnite’ tournament series has become a sensation within the gaming industry over the course of nine weeks. With $20,000 on the line in prize money each week, some of the most influential names in the online gaming community try their luck every Friday for a portion of the winnings. After the ninth installation of the tournament, ‘Tfue’ and ‘Cloak’ of FaZe Clan once again walked away with a victory and $10,000 after taking down ‘Myth’ and ‘Hamlinz’ in the Grand Final by a score of 2-0. The FaZe showed how in-sync they are together by putting up identical numbers in kills-per-half, kills-per-series, and total kills, as shown by statistics generated by UMG commentator Landon ‘Land0’ Sanders. #FridayFortnite Week 9 (Top 8) Elimination Stats:@cloakzy@TTfue @HighDistortion @Ninja @TSM_Myth @TSM_Hamlinz @LOLiTOFDEZ @JacobHysteria @NICKMERCS @aimbotcalvin @Thiefs @TSM_Daequan @TSM_CaMiLLs @KingRichard @TypicalGamer @Svenosss pic.twitter.com/AtLnnm3YMM— Landon Sanders (@LandO) July 9, 2018 Tfue and Cloak were only rivaled by ‘HighDistortion’ in terms of their dominance in certain categories, however, all other players paled in comparison to their impressive numbers. More: Insane Number of Viewers Tuned in for TSM Myth’s 1v1 Against FaZe Tfue in Fortnite’s Playground LTM – Due to their being no concrete ruleset when it comes to competitive Fortnite, tournaments are often decided by the number of kills put up by teams opposed to other squads, and will likely be the format until an official format is created by Epic Games. Tfue and Cloak have been nothing but dominant when it comes to Friday Fortnite by securing a total of four championships in the span of nine total tournaments, and are the only team to win more than once. More information on week nine of KEEMSTAR’s Friday Fortnite Tournament can be found right here. Source: Land0

Week 4 of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Will Trial a New “Hold the Throne” Format – Dexerto
Week 4 of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Will Trial a New “Hold the Throne” Format Epic Games will trial a new format for Week 4 of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Series called “Hold the Throne”. Hold the Throne will be a solo competition that focuses on which player can hold onto the top spot for the longest and earn the top spot. Hold the Throne will provide competitors a number ways to earn points. A Victory Royale will be worth two points, while the score for a second or third place will be one point. Four or more eliminations in a game will also be worth one point and the player with the most eliminations will get a bonus point plus a cool $50,000. .@Chefstrobel shows that if you feel confident in your shot then you should take it. Tune in for Week 4 Day One of #SummerSkirmish on Friday, August 3. For more info: https://t.co/OBJuBaVYp9 https://t.co/BDHEg57h3H — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) August 2, 2018 The player that holds the record for the most eliminations will continue to receive their bonus point every single game until another player “dethrones” them by beating their record. The first player to earn eight or more points by the end of the competition will take first place and $67,500. The Hold the Throne format is a clear attempt to make sure that players are active in the game and not rewarded for “turtling” in bases (something that has been criticised in previous weeks). The continued format tests show that Epic is still considering the best format and look for the Fortnite esports. The Friday competition will feature the likes of Ninja, Myth, Hamlinz, Daequan, CouRage, Gotaga, TimTheTatMan, Tfue, Poach, Hysteria, HighDistortion and more. Saturday’s tournament is expected to feature more international players but follow the same format. Friday’s matches will begin at 5pm ET and Saturday’s at 1pm ET.

Week 2 challenges for Fortnite Season 9 have been leaked – Dexerto
Week 2 challenges for Fortnite Season 9 have been leaked Graphics: Epic GamesEpic Games officially reveal their weekly challenges every Thursday, but if you’re looking to get ahold of the Fortnite Season 9, Week 2 challenges early, you might have came to the right place. The new season of the popular battle royale game has brought about some interesting new changes across the ever-changing map, including the introduction of a brand new Slipstream transport system. However, according to potentially leaked information from dataminer Lucas7Yoshi, players will have to engage with a travel method from Season 8 instead – volcano air vents. That’s not all, though. As seasoned veterans of the game would expect, the leaked challenges includes three challenges which can be completed by all gamers, with a further four exclusive to Season 9 Battle Pass owners. The following list is still yet to be confirmed, as the game’s developer will reveal the second set of Fortnite Season 9 challenges on May 16, but it seems like players are going to have to mix up their drops a bit more this week in order to be successful. Free Challenges Launch off of (5) Air Vents in different matches – 5 Battle Stars – Stage 1/5: Land at Snobby Shores – 1 Battle Star Stage 2/5: Land at Fatal Fields – 1 Battle Star – Stage 3/5: Land at Sunny Steps – 1 Battle Star – Stage 4/5: Land at Dusty Divot – 1 Battle Star – Stage 5/5: Land at Happy Hamlet – 1 Battle Star – – Eliminate (3) opponents in Sunny Steps or Shifty Shafts – 10 Battle Stars – Battle Pass Challenges Deal (500) damage with Pistols to opponents – 5 Battle Stars – Visit an oversized Phone, a big Piano, and a giant Dancing Fish Trophy – 5 Battle Stars – Search a Chest in (3) different Named Locations in a single match – 10 Battle Stars – Stage 1/3: Eliminate an opponent from at least 50m away – 3 Battle Stars Stage 2/3: Eliminate an opponent from at least 75m away – 3 Battle Stars – Stage 3/3: Eliminate an opponent from at least 100m away – 3 Battle Stars – – I don’t remember if i posted this so ill post it just in case Week 2 challenges, these should be accurate unless theres an update that changes them in between now and when they release. pic.twitter.com/og0CTjHGuw — Lucas7yoshi_ // Fortnite Leaks & News (@lucas7yoshi_) May 9, 2019 As soon as the official challenges are revealed, we will be sure to let you know! Until then, take these with a pinch of salt. Even if the source of the leak has been accurate in the past, that doesn’t mean to say that these are accurate.

Week 10 Discovery challenge hidden banner location for Fortnite Battle Royale – Dexerto
Week 10 Discovery challenge hidden banner location for Fortnite Battle Royale If you’re a fan of secret Fortnite battle stars, you’ll be disappointed to hear that Week 10 of the Discovery challenge will once again feature a hidden banner instead. Here’s how Battle Pass owners can find it on PC, PS4, Xbox One and every other platform. How to find the Week 10 Discovery challenge banner The loading screen for the tenth week of the season was leaked shortly after the release of the v8.50 patch on April 25, so we already knew exactly where we needed to look in order to complete the Discovery challenge when it went live on May 2. The Discovery loading screen for Week 10 of Season 8 can be seen below. The hint for the hidden item has been circled for you: As you might have already guessed, the banner floating near the truck towards the left side of the screen can be found in the center of Loot Lake. It should be located at the exact point marked on the map below, directly underneath the laboratory in the E4 coordinate on the map. You’ll probably find that you need to build up to it as it’s located on the side of the cliff, but you cane easily farm the required materials from the metal truck. Once you’ve completed all seven of the standard challenges for Week 10, the Discovery challenge will be unlocked and the banner should be available for collection. If you’re still struggling to find the item, HarryNinetyFour on YouTube has uploaded a quick video guide that shows exactly where you need to go: What is the Discovery challenge? The Discovery challenge is a bonus quest that has taken place throughout Season 8. Players that complete enough of the challenges before the end of the season are rewarded with the Discovery skin, also known as Ruin. The Discovery challenge is very similar to the Snowfall, Hunting Party, Road Trip and Blockbuster challenges from past seasons. Players that complete all seven standard challenges for the week will unlock a loading screen that contains a hint for where to find a secret battle star or banner.

Week 10 challenge: Search the Treasure Map signpost found in Junk Junction – Dexerto
Week 10 challenge: Search the Treasure Map signpost found in Junk Junction Epic GamesThe week 10 challenges for Season 8 are upon us, and there’s another treasure map task to complete, which will have you hunting the map, with two separate stages to complete. The new challenges drop on the same day as the v8.51 update, which added in the new shadow bomb, and although players were expecting ‘Overtime Challenges’, they were not mentioned in the patch notes. As this is now the final standard week of challenges for Season 8, and with no Overtime Challenges in sight, this could be your last chance to rack up the all-important battle stars before Season 9 begins. Stage 1: Search the treasure map signpost found in Junk Junction [2 Battle Stars] As a two part challenge, you will first need to head to Junk Junction, as the name of the challenge implies, to find the treasure map itself. Once at Junk Junction, head to the north of the location until you find two tall stacks of crushed cars and a stack of wooden pallets, just to the west of the basketball hoop. The signpost is located in the small space between the stack of wood, stacks of cars, and the large blue shipping container. Once you find the signpost containing the map, you should be able to interact with it, which will earn you the first battle star, signifying that you can now move to Stage 2. Stage 2: Search the X on the treasure map signpost in Junk Junction [3 Battle Stars] The map itself is an image of what looks like a very rough fork and knife set, with a red X placed on the right side of the knife, pretty much at its center. This is, of course, in reference to the popular meme of calling Fortnite BR ‘Fork Knife,’ so it’s nice to see that the developers are very much in tune with the meme culture. If you haven’t been able to figure out where exactly on the Fortnite map this treasure hunt is leading you to, you’re in luck, because we’ve determined that you will need to head to just northwest of Fatal Fields, Here you will find large diggings in the ground that look identical to the fork and knife drawn on the treasure map. The rest should be pretty self-explanatory – head to the exact point on the diggings that’s marked with an ‘X’ on the map, and you will then find the battle star need to complete the challenge. Complete the treasure map in Junk Junction challenge: Go to Junk Junction, find the treasure map signpost between two stacks of crushed cars. – Visit just north of Fatal Fields, to the Fork Knife location – Head to the bottom edge of the knife – interact with the battle star to complete the challenge. – Remember, as with all challenges, if you leave the match early, your progress may not count, so play the game out till the very end if you don’t want to have to repeat the process all over again.

Special Fortnite Website Allows Players to Rate Their Favorite In-Game Skins – Dexerto
Special Fortnite Website Allows Players to Rate Their Favorite In-Game Skins There is a website that allows players to rate the in-game skins of the popular video game Fortnite: Battle Royale. Called ‘FN Rate,’ the website includes every single skin that was released over the games first four seasons. A major reason why Fortnite has become so successful and popular is due to developer Epic Games consistently improving, adjusting, and adding things to keep the gaming experience fresh and fun. Cosmetic items, especially the character skins, are a huge part of Fortnite and are available for players to purchase and/or earn by upgrading their Battle Pass. Season 4 has even added a further layer of innovation to the skins by giving players the chance to earn armor upgrades for the new Carbide and Omega skins. The FN Rate website ranks each of the skins based on how the average number of stars that players rate it out of five. Currently, the top rated skins on this rating website go as follows: Black Knight (4.38/5) – Season 2 Battle Pass Tier 70 – Omega (4.07/5) – Season 4 Battle Pass Tier 100 – Raven (3.96/5) – Item Shop 2,000 V-Bucks – Red Knight (3.9/5) – Item Shop 2,000 V-Bucks – Skull Trooper (3.57/5) – Item Shop 1,200 V-Bucks – The newly released Venturion trooper is currently ranked as the fifth highest rated skin, but it has too few votes to include in the top 5. It should not be considered a coincidence that the two highest rated skins are the final tier skins of their respective Season Battle Passes. As for the rest of the top 5, the Red Knight and Skull Trooper are considered to be two of the rarest skins in the game and have only appeared in the Item Shop a few times. – Fortnite fans and players can all visit the FN Tracker to rank any and all of the available skins here.

Waterbending dominates Fortnite as sniper nerfs kill its strongest counter – Dexerto
Waterbending dominates Fortnite as sniper nerfs kill its strongest counter Epic GamesFortnite has vaulted Rare snipers once again in Chapter 5 Season 2 following a further update, which has only made the Waterbending mythic even more OP. Ever since Epic Games unleashed Avatar’s bending mythics into the Battle Royale, it has shaken up the Fortnite meta in a huge way. The two standouts out of the four have been Waterbending and Airbending, which have proved to be some of the best mythics of all time. On April 18, Epic issued a typical small weekly update to issue some minor changes and make the Avatar Fire Chakra Quests available. However, shortly after, it was soon revealed that the Rare blue rarity of the Reaper Sniper Rifle had been vaulted once again. You can still get the Reaper Sniper Rifle across the map in Epic and Legendary versions, such as from chests, Weapon-o-matic vending machines, and the NPCs Myna, Hope, and Noorah. But, with the more common rarity removed, you’re much less likely to find a sniper rifle in the wild. Some players have praised snipers effectively being nerfed, with numerous players echoing that they “see this as an absolute win.” The frustrations are understandable as many have been left scarred by snipers picking them off from all distances and dominating the Chapter 5 Season 1 meta. “Just vault every rarity of sniper at this point,” another added, as some see them as no longer needed thanks to the Avatar Waterbending being far superior overall. However, many players have also been left triggered by the meta change. “The community killed the most fun sniper in the game,” one player responded. In particular, as one player alluded to, the sniper “might be the best counter to Waterbending right now.” With snipers purposely getting pushed out of the general loot pool, Waterbenders can run wild as the mythic becomes the hottest commodity in Fortnite. It can be somewhat countered by using Airbending to create space or running other long-range weapons like the Huntress DMR, but the fun of Waterbending is quickly fading as it becomes more and more frustrating to play against for players.

Watch the full Travis Scott Astronomical concert in Fortnite – Dexerto
Watch the full Travis Scott Astronomical concert in Fortnite Epic GamesTravis Scott’s first Astronomical concert in Fortnite just wrapped up as players from all over the world tuned in to see the rapper perform in-game. Fortnite has become known for some of the biggest events in the gaming industry. From major crossovers with the likes of Star Wars and Avengers, to in-game performances. The latest event saw popular rapper Travis Scott takeover a stage on the Sweaty Sands island and perform a range of his classic hits. Similar to Marshmello’s concert, the map changed drastically throughout the show. The first of five in-game concerts kicked off at 7 PM EDT for the Americas region and lasted for roughly 10 minutes. Travis Scott arrived in style as the purple light in the sky finally came towards the map. An enormous asteroid full of rollercoasters, Ferris Wheels, and more. As ‘Sicko Mode’ kicked off the performance, a giant model of Travis Scott crashed into the map, launching players back from the island. Visuals changed dramatically throughout the concert as the sky turned from bright purple to a hellish red, and even forced players underwater at one point. The in-game concert can be seen from the 6:00 mark in the video below. From Goosebumps to Highest in the Room, players were treated to crazy interactions as the rapper went through his setlist. It all came to an end with players flying through space and time, hovering over countless variations of Fortnite’s map as he debuted a new track in-game titled ‘The Scotts.’ Roughly 10 minutes into the show, all players were dropped back into the Chapter 2 battleground, however, some were noticing one key change. The terrain had tilted sideways. Perhaps a visual glitch or perhaps a tease for something coming down the line, there’s no telling just yet. Until the other concerts kick off in various regions, there’s no way to tell if every show will follow the exact same structure, or if the artist will change things up. .@trvisXX premieres his new song “”The Scotts”” at his in-game Fortnite concert pic.twitter.com/DiecXJZl2q — B/R Gaming (@BRGaming) April 23, 2020 While there are still four in-game performances for players all over the world to check out, the Astronomical event also introduced a wide array of new content. From new skins to fresh challenges. The Astro Jack skin in particular, has countless players predicting that a major storyline shakeup is on the way. One that could return Fortnite to its original map.

Watch Fortnite pros refuse to shoot each other in ridiculous Winter Royale battle A ridiculous moment where Fortnite pro players formed a truce and refused to shoot each other during the Winter Royale tournament has caused quite the stir among the competitive community, but it was comedy gold for Ryan ‘Chap’ Chaplo. Chap burst into hysterics when he found players Psalm, Vyx and TTV MmateosS shooting at each other almost as badly as Star Wars Stormtroopers, as they worked together in X-4 Stormwing planes to reach the game’s top ten. The streamer couldn’t contain himself when he saw the footage, which has been dubbed an ‘Oscar worthy performance’ by user thebigboss_123 who clipped his reaction on Twitch. “They’re not fighting, they’re fucking around you idiots. They’re literally shooting around each other on purpose because of their fucking truce” he said. Chap broke into wild laughter for a few moments as both Vyx and Psalm rolled around in the air, as both clearly had no intention of killing the other. He screamed: “They’re teaming, you bots! Oh my god. Wow, these guys really have bad aim”. Many Fortnite personalities have made their opinions known about issues of new content, including the controversial addition of the Infinity Blade to the competitive scene. Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins understands that Fortnite was never going to delay the arrival of a new season because of the Winter Royale, however he did criticize the timing of the latest v7.01 update, which included the sword. He said: “To add the sword and to have these planes, in this tournament, it’s just not what I qualified for.”

Was Glider Redeploy really disabled in Fortnite with v6.30 update? – Dexerto
Was Glider Redeploy really disabled in Fortnite with v6.30 update? Following the v6.30 update, there has been some confusion among the Fortnite community as to the changes detailed on the controversial glider redeploy system. On November 13, Epic Games announced that due to community feedback, glider redeploy would be disabled entirely from all default modes (Solos, Duos, Squads). However, it would remain in ‘larger team modes’ (e.g. Soaring 50s, Disco Domination etc.), as well as Playground, to “allow ongoing experimentation with this feature”. So, when the patch notes for v6.30 released and stated: “Glider Redeploy will now only activate the Glider. Skydiving will no longer be available when using Glider Redeploy” – players were somewhat confused. This seemed to indicate that glider redpeploy hadn’t been disabled at all, but rather simply adjusted to no longer allow for Skydiving. However, it appears that these adjustments are only being made for modes where glider redeploy is still active, such as playground and select LTM’s. Changes to Glider Redeploy in v6.30 update. Players who were not a fan of the glider redeploy system can play the default modes safe in the knowledge that no one will be gliding off their high builds as soon as you get them weak anymore. In Limited Time Modes and Playground, the glider redeploy system is still in place, and that’s where you’ll see the changes detailed in the patch notes implemented Players will be able to redeploy their glider at any time when jumping from a certain height, but the speed gained by Skydiving will no longer be possible. With the new Food Fight LTM added, it’s likely that this adjusted redeploy system will be active there too.

Warzone pro Aydan hints at Fortnite switch: “I’m embarrassed to be a CoD player” – Dexerto
Warzone pro Aydan hints at Fortnite switch: “I’m embarrassed to be a CoD player” Epic Games/NYSLWarzone pro Aydan ‘Aydan’ Conrad has admitted he’s “embarrassed to be a CoD player” and is considering getting back into competitive Fortnite. Since Warzone’s release, Aydan has established himself as one of the best players in the world and has taken home over $330,000 in prize money. Despite being the game’s top earner, he’s not been enjoying the new Pacific update and has made it very clear that he’s not a fan of the Caldera map. As a result, the talented pro is now considering a return to competitive Fortnite, even asking his Twitter followers when the next tournament or Cash Cup takes place. Aydan considering move back to competitive Fortnite Taking to Twitter on December 15, Aydan revealed to his followers that he was “embarrassed to be a CoD player right now” due to issues in Warzone, Challengers, and the CDL. He even announced that he was thinking about taking a break until all of the problems had been resolved. Although he could “name a million things wrong with Warzone”, Aydan said he doesn’t see the point as it’s obvious he feels none of the fundamental issues are being fixed. I’m embarrassed to be a CoD player right now. It seems like everything from Challengers, CDL, and Warzone are down badly right now. I could name a million things wrong with Warzone, but what’s the point… Part of me wants to stop playing until the game is fixed, but idk. — Aydan (@aydan) December 15, 2021 Of course, this led a lot of fans to speculate about what Aydan was going to play in the meantime while taking a break from Warzone. Well, the pro didn’t keep his followers waiting long with an initial joke tweet about a full move to Fortnite, and then a serious one about when the next upcoming tournament is going to take place. While this did catch a lot of CoD players off-guard, it’s not too surprising that Aydan would consider getting back into competitive Fortnite given his experience in the scene before becoming a Warzone pro. When do Fortnite tournaments or Cash Cups start? Would love to get involved again. — Aydan (@aydan) December 15, 2021 Although it’s certainly possible Aydan is baiting his CoD fans and trying to get a reaction out of the community, his opinion of Caldera suggests a move to Fortnite could be on the cards. With the next Cash Cup scheduled to take place on January 10, it’s possible Warzone’s top earner could be going for the Fortnite crown – we’ll just have to wait and see.

Warzone players jealous as Fortnite Chapter 5 update is ‘stealing’ them away – Dexerto
Warzone players jealous as Fortnite Chapter 5 update is ‘stealing’ them away Epic GamesFortnite’s new Chapter 5 update has made bored Warzone 2 players feel envious, while they claim Epic is “coming for blood.” After a month of going back to its roots, Fortnite Chapter 5 finally arrived on December 3. The update introduced several new gameplay features, including weapon mods, boss fights, and a revamped movement system now allowing players to climb walls. The community has taken issue with various changes, particularly demanding a revert to the “garbage” locker changes that arrived in Chapter 5 and the new “janky” movement. However, Warzone players are feeling envious over the new update, with them claiming Epic has taken a page out of Activision’s book to “steal” players. Warzone players claim Fortnite is out “for blood” with Chapter 5 update In a December 3 Reddit thread, one Warzone player kicked off a discussion around Fortnite’s Chapter 5 update, making note of the various new similarities between the two games. “With the Chapter 5 update they brought weapon attachments and also a train in the game. The weapon attachments work just like they do with Warzone ground loot guns where the rarity is decided by the number of attachments the gun has (1 being lowest and 5 being highest),” they explained. “They also overhauled the movement so you can slide, slide cancel and mantle. With this and the zero build mode, I can’t help but feel like they’re trying to speak to Warzone players more.” The played added: “I don’t know about you guys, but to me I feel like they’re trying to steal some Warzone players to go play Fortnite.” In the replies, others agreed that it was a golden opportunity for Fortnite to take some players away from Warzone, and admitted they couldn’t blame the Epic devs. “Considering that MWII/Warzone 2.0 has been overall weak, I can’t blame them for pouncing on an opportunity before the new, better Warzone map drops and overall gameplay overhaul happens with DLC Warfare 2.5,” said one. “They’re coming for blood for sure,” wrote another. “I heard someone mention ‘blackout vibes’ but to me it definitely had a more [Warzone] feel with the POIs this season.” Some even claimed that with the new Chapter 5 update, they’ll be giving Fortnite another try. “Looks like I might be going back to Fortnite,” one stated. However, while some will be testing with waters again with Epic’s battle royale, some believe Warzone will always be on top. “Fortnite’s good, but it will never be warzone. It’s so much better,” they said. It’s fair to say the hype for Fortnite is back at a high, with Season OG giving the game a massive resurgence in popularity. While initially planned as a one-time celebration, its record-shattering success means we’ll be seeing it return in the future.

Walmart dancers embarrassed as Fortnite spray they earned is now a free quest reward – Dexerto
Walmart dancers embarrassed as Fortnite spray they earned is now a free quest reward Walmart/Epic GamesWalmart dancers are now feeling embarrassed as a Fortnite spray they earned is now a free quest reward in Chapter 5. Here’s what they said. Fortnite dances have always been popular on the internet and fans are known to recreate those emotes in public places. Following the sudden rise in popularity of Fortnite emotes, Epic Games joined hands with Walmart in 2018 to reward customers with a free cosmetic spray. However, to earn the spray back in the day, customers had to spin an emote wheel at the Walmart counter and perform the emote written on it. If they performed the right dance move, they’d receive a coupon from the cashier that they could redeem in-game for their reward. Now fast forward to 2024 in Chapter 5 Season 2, the same spray is being rewarded for free by completing a quest and those Walmart dancers are feeling embarrassed. One such player said, “To whoever danced at Walmart in 2018 for this spray I am so f*****g sorry.” “It was so f*****g embarrassing dude. The realization didn’t hit me until they started making characters do emotes in shows”, said another. A third player wrote, “I T-Posed in a Walmart for this.” A fourth one chimed in, “Danced? My dad just found some in Walmart and got some for us. Guess we just got lucky since that would’ve been weird.” A fifth user commented, “I didn’t have to. My Walmart was chill and gave them away for free, and I got like 12 of them.” The spray in question here is the Disco Baller Spray and apart from the Walmart code that expired on January 31, 2019, you can now get it in Chapter 5 Season 2 in 2024 by simply completing a Lantern Trials quest. Just head to the Lantern Trials website and Sign Up for the Trials to earn this free spray. You can also earn a couple more rewards from this year’s Lantern Trials so be sure to check out our complete guide if you’re looking for some free Fortnite goodies.

Is the wall taking coin flip still in Fortnite Chapter 2? – Dexerto
Is the wall taking coin flip still in Fortnite Chapter 2? Fortnite fans are debating whether the coin flip mechanic that gave players a 50/50 chance to take walls is even in the game anymore. During the midway point of Season 10, Epic introduced numerous changes to turbo building and instead of favoring the person with lower ping when it came to taking walls, they introduced a coin flip mechanic that evened the playing field. Before, the lower ping players were always given the wall over the higher ping one, but the coin flip gave each player a fighting chance. Starting with Chapter 2, players are wondering if that mechanic is even in the game anymore and have started to ask questions. A thread posted on the Fortnite Competitive subreddit caused a lot of discussion from both sides, with some players saying the coin flip is still in the game, while others say they have tested it several times and it is gone. Read More: Full Fortnite Darkfire bundle leaked – It’s entirely possible it’s still in the game for players who say it isn’t and they are just getting extremely bad luck, due to it being just 50/50 chance of success. Some players are completely sure the mechanic is still in the game and have said others who say it isn’t are outright spreading false information. “Coinflip is very obviously in the game,” said Redditor ballatw. “Just go test with a partner.” With that being said, this was followed up with a response who doesn’t buy that. “This is 100% false,” said Krashys. In the past, this would have been a very easy thing for players to find out on their own, since they could just go and read the patch notes. Read More: Fortnitemares chest location – However, patch notes seem to have become a thing of the past with Chapter 2 as each update so far has been very scarce with information. Fans have instead been relying on short blog posts posted on the Epic Games website or updates to the game’s Trello board for indicators about what’s changed. It’s highly likely that the coin flip mechanic is still in the game, as that would be a major move for Epic to make without informing any players. It does seem like a strange coincidence that players have started complaining about this right on the heels of Epic holding back patch notes. Some players have chalked it up to being a bug, which could be entirely possible since Chapter 2 has had a couple of major ones, like the invincibility spot in Slurpy Swamp. As of the time of writing, the developers haven’t addressed it so either it’s still in the game or the problem isn’t widespread enough to talk about just yet.

What does Waiting in Queue mean in Fortnite? Fixes and causes – Dexerto
What does Waiting in Queue mean in Fortnite? Fixes and causes Epic GamesFed up with the aggravating “Waiting in Queue” message in Fortnite? You’re not alone. This error is causing issues for many players trying to play Chapter 5 Season 4. Sometimes, an issue like the ‘Waiting in Queue’ error can separate you and your friends from having a good time in Fortnite. This error that appears in the form of a prolonged loading screen prevents players from joining matches, hindering all the action and fun. Now you may be wondering what could be the causes of this error and if it can be fixed from your end or not. In this guide, we have answered all your queries, so let’s dive right into it. Contents What does Waiting in Queue mean in Fortnite? The ‘Waiting in Queue’ is an error message in Fortnite that arises when there’s an issue related to the game servers. When this issue occurs, a stuck loading screen appears right in front, preventing you from matchmaking against other players. This server-related issue may either happen from your end or may happen from Epic Games’ end as well. Causes of Waiting in Queue error in Fortnite One of the most probable causes of getting the ‘Waiting in Queue’ error in Fortnite is when the servers are under maintenance. This happens when the servers go offline for a new update, server problems, or network stress tests. If you’re experiencing this around September 10, 2024, you’re not alone. After players were forced to wait in terribly long queues, Fortnite Status on X explained why this was happening. Epic was working on network stress tests, which could be the reason why you’re in a queue. Other than these weekly tests, this has happened before back in Chapter 5 Season 2’s launch. Epic Games officially announced that the scheduled downtime for the new season was delayed by at least 8 hours. This left many players furious and was the expected cause of this error message. Another reason that may take place for this error to occur is when the internet connection between your device and the game servers time out. Slow internet speeds and frequent packet loss are the main culprits when it happens from your end. Can you fix the Waiting in Queue error in Fortnite? Since this issue is directly related to the servers, you can’t necessarily “fix” the error by any means. However, there are a couple of precautions you may take to not getting the error while playing Fortnite: Avoiding playing during peak hours – Checking your internet connection is stable – Peak hours can be a nuisance as the servers are restricted to a limited capacity of allowing players. Try queuing for matches during times when there’s less traffic. Also, check if your internet connection is stable or if there’s any new update from Fortnite before queuing. In case Fortnite servers go down for maintenance, you may also check our guide for monitoring. That’s everything you need to know about what Waiting in Queue means in Fortnite and its possible causes and fixes. Once you finally make it into Fortnite, you can look forward to new weekly challenges and rare Mythic weapons.

VP of Infinite Esports Suggests OpTic Gaming Could Use Its Current Players for Fortnite Esports – “We have at least 20 superstars that would all CRUSH the game.” – Dexerto
VP of Infinite Esports Suggests OpTic Gaming Could Use Its Current Players for Fortnite Esports – “We have at least 20 superstars that would all CRUSH the game.” The Fortnite community was thrown into a frenzy when developer Epic Games announced that it will pledge a whopping $100 million towards funding the prize pools of Fortnite events during the 2018-2019 competitive season. With major esports organizations such as FaZe Clan and Team SoloMid already having professional Fortnite teams, there have been questions as to if and when esports giants OpTic Gaming would join the Fortnite esports scene. Jacob Toft-Anderson, Vice President of esports at Infinite Esports & Entertainment, a partner company of OpTic, has addressed these questions on social media. On May 22nd, he posted a series of tweets in which he acknowledges the potential of Fortnite esports but urges patience from the Green Wall fans. People complaining about OpTic not entering Fortnite sooner, which is fair, but failing to realize that we have at least 20 superstars that would all CRUSH the game between the various OpTic titles and the Outlaws, should they want to. — Jacob Toft-Andersen (@TheMaelk) May 22, 2018 That’s not to say there won’t be a specialized Fortnite-squad, there absolutely will, but why rush it when the title isn’t established as an esport yet and we’re sitting on an endless goldmine of some of the world’s craziest, most high octane, insanely talented FPS-players. — Jacob Toft-Andersen (@TheMaelk) May 22, 2018 Judging by Toft-Anderson’s tweets, it appears that OpTic plan to play their involvement by ear until a more concrete and finalized esports scene is established. It also appears that the organization is even prepared to deploy some of its current players of other esports to also participate in competitive Fortnite until a dedicated team is assembled. Read More: Epic Games Announce E3 Celebrity Pro-Am Fortnite Battle Royale Tournament – Ninja, Myth, Paul George and More! – This could mean that some of the members of OpTic’s teams in Call of Duty, Overwatch, CS:GO, and even fellow BR game PUBG, could potentially become professionals in Fortnite as well. This could even be a hint that former CoD player Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow, who is currently not competing for the rest of the CWL season, could soon be taking a new direction in his esports career.

Players can now donate their personal stash of gold bars to make decisions on the state of the game.

Following the success of the Mounted Turret Gold Bar drive, there is now a second decision being left to the players’ hands. Welcome to the War Effort, recruit. JB Chimpanksi has a plan to save the Island, but we’re going to need your help to pull it off. Find out how you can choose which weapons and items will be unlocked to help fight back The Cubes! pic.twitter.com/Pf4mOEpqQi — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) September 22, 2021 Voting for Fortnite’s next unvaulted item The news of this showdown arrived in the form of a blog post on the Epic Games website. This post, like the one for the turrets, was written by J.B. Chimpanski, who is heading the in-game war effort against The Cubes. “Donation Boards are set up at POIs for you to chimp in Bars towards which item you want to see as future loot,” he wrote.”First item to hit 100% Funded is immediately unlocked and ready for use.” Based on the current state of funding, the Shockwave Launcher will be the next item to be unvaulted! 🔥 Do you like this or would you rather have the Rift-To-Go back? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/jmjlDIyI7t — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) September 22, 2021 How to vote Let’s quickly run through how to cast a vote: Load into the game and enter a non-competitive playlist – Find one of the Item Donation Boards which are marked by a dollar sign emblem on your map – Choose which item to support and donate 50 Gold Bars at a time towards that item. – (Optional) Collect the Small Shield Potions you receive each time you vote. – As of September 22, the Shockwave Launcher is leading the race by a fair margin. Even if your favored item doesn’t win out in this one, Epic has promised that more of these events are coming in the future. We don’t know how long these items will be around, but your vote could alter how this season plays out.

Visual bug in Fortnite lets players shoot Boom Bow without being seen – Dexerto
Visual bug in Fortnite lets players shoot Boom Bow without being seen Epic GamesA visual bug has been discovered in Fortnite Battle Royale that is allowing players to shoot the Boom Bow without enemies being able to spot them. There’s no hiding the fact that Fortnite, despite its monumental success, has always been full of bugs, glitches, and exploits. While some bugs are milder than others, the one concerning the Boom Bow has the potential of pretty seriously ruining players’ gaming experience. Visual bug with pyramids and Boom Bows Shortly after the Boom Bow weapon was released in Fortnite last week, players began noticing that there was a way to shoot a Boom Bow while hiding completely behind a pyramid structure. Pyramid, of course, is the common name given to Roof structure that is one of four basic shapes that players can build along with walls, floors, and stairs. The way it works is a player standing on one of the four faces of a pyramid can shoot their Boom Bow just above the adjacent edge at an enemy player and be virtually cut off from their line of sight. In the image below you can see that, although the visual path of the arrow is going through the pyramid, the fact that the reticle is point just above the edge allows it the shot to be fired without an issue. This can be directly contrasted with the act of shooting the Boom Bow when hiding behind a straight wall, which does not allow the arrow to fly until the player is very much visible to the enemy. You can see the difference between how both of these shots work in-game in the video below, courtesy of Reddit user ‘Mr_Fortnut,’ who experimented with it in Creative Mode. Will this ever be fixed? If so, when? Epic Games have not actually acknowledged the existence of this issue so it’s hard to tell how high it is up their priority chart when it comes to making changes to Fortnite. We do know that a massive v8.30 patch is expected to go live sometime this week that will bring changes to all vehicles, the brand new Reboot Van, and more content and fixes, so a fix for this might also be included. For now, just assume that the bug will continue to exist until further notice, so be wary of enemy players trying to use it against you.

What do the numbers mean in Fortnite event? Hidden Visitor message found – Dexerto
What do the numbers mean in Fortnite event? Hidden Visitor message found Epic GamesThere are a series of Visitor tapes located around the map in Fortnite and they are actually hints for what’s in store for the upcoming season. The only question is what do they mean? Update – October 13 Following ‘The End’ event in Fortnite, there was nothing left in the game except a mysterious blue circle floating in complete darkness. After a short while, numbers began floating around the circle, which players figured out was actually a coded message. When taking those specific words from the Visitor’s audio recordings, the following potential message was discovered: “I was not alone. Others were outside the Loop. This was not calculated. The moment is now inevitable.” THE CODE IS EXPLAINED!?? – The visitors audio… 11th word. 146th word. 15th word. 62nd word. 87th word. 14th word. 106th word. 2nd word. 150th word. “I was not alone. Others were outside the Loop.” *Others = us players ?* (Via: @Thooming)— HYPEX – Fortnite Leaks & News :jack_o_lantern: (@HYPEX) October 13, 2019 Next Leaked Numbers! 69 146 15 36 which might mean “”This was not calculated.”” 2 172 8 160 65 which might mean “”The moment is now inevitable.””— HYPEX – Fortnite Leaks & News :jack_o_lantern: (@HYPEX) October 13, 2019 Original Story: Fortnite Season 10 wraps up on October 13 and there are currently many directions the next season can go. One common theme is we are getting ready to say goodbye to the map as we know it and it will be replaced with something completely new, fulfilling the dreams for everyone who wanted change. We know the Visitor has left a lot of clues of what’s going to happen, but it’s hard to decipher. Epic Games’ Tim Donald Mustard, as he always does, dropped a series of teasers that should help paint a better picture of what’s coming up. If you’ve picked up the Visitor tapes then this sounds familiar to you. Let’s break them down one by one. Message #1 ‘What the Seven of us are attempting is very risky. I suspect They are not the only ones watching. But it must be done or we lose the Bridge forever.’ — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 The tapes mention “The Seven” which we still don’t know a whole lot about. The new Scientist skin says he’s part of the group, but we don’t know who makes up the rest of the roster. We don’t know who else will be watching or what the “Bridge” is, so that remains a mystery. Message #2 ‘I speculate that no one calculated the formation of the Island. That interdimensional matter collisions would resolve rather than push. Now that I witness it first hand, it’s obvious that Pinching alone made it inevitable.’ — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 This one mentions an Island which could either refer to the current map, or it could be the rumored new one. There’s a lot of different meanings it could have but the mention of the island could actually end up being the biggest clue yet for a new map. Message #3 ‘When I hear this, again, will it help me remember? Or once Looped will I be just as muted as the others? No matter – it seems the lengthy precautions worked.’ — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 This third message could be referencing the loop back in time that reverted the map. Perhaps the Visitor wanted to experience this moment again to see if he missed something. Becoming “just as muted as the others” could possibly refer to the group of Seven, but it remains to be seen. Message #4 ‘The (garbled) Theorem was a success! I… us… you arrived outside of the loop at the exact moment of expansion. This effectively paused the singularity, giving us time to create the devices needed to synchronize the Junction.’ — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 There is mention of a loop, which almost certainly references the time-traveling nature of Season 10 which saw the damage done by the meteor undone. Read More: Fortnitemares 2019 skins leaked – As for everything else, we’re going to have to wait for the season to end for that to be revealed. It’s probably safe to assume the “Junction” isn’t referring to Junk Junction. Message 5 ‘What I didn’t factor was that the only way to trigger the device was from within the Loop itself. Thus this hasty and primitive recording. And why now you… I find myself Looped.’ — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 The Visitor implies he’s stuck in a time loop so he’s trying to figure out how to get out of that. We expect the ending of this season will result in the break of that loop. Message 6 ‘Activate the beacon at precisely the moment this timer reaches nothing. The Zero Point must be contained once more. If They are correct, it will be the end.’ – The Scientist — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) October 10, 2019 The timer is counting down to zero right now, so the beacon will have to be activated at the right moment. There’s mention of the end, which happens to be the leaked name of the final event, so that will be something to keep an eye on. Last updated on October 13 at 5:55 PM EST.

Visitor tape recording locations for Fortnite Out of Time Mission – Dexerto
Visitor tape recording locations for Fortnite Out of Time Mission Graphics: Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale players looking to complete all of the Out of Time Mission challenges before Season 10 comes to an end are going to need to know where to find the Visitor’s tape recordings. As many seasoned veterans of the battle royale game will know by now, Fortnite always gives fans an opportunity to complete a number of tasks and pick up some season exclusive cosmetics before they draw the curtain on each season – and the tenth season is no different! There are a number of different Out of Time Mission challenges, which have replaced the previous overtime missions, but the ones we’ll be focusing on specifically with this guide are those that require you to obtain some hidden tape recordings from The Visitor. If you have dropped into the game mode of late, you will know that The Visitor – or Scientist – is preparing a rocket for blast off at the Dusty Depot point of interest. Before having it sail into the sky, however, they have dropped four different recordings across the map. Instead of searching in every room, corridor and bush across the Fortnite map until you come across them – which would take ample time – why not just use our simple map below? It shows both of their locations and should make them very easy to find. Fortnite Visitor tapes at Floating Island and Retail Row As the map suggests, along with the name of each challenge, these can be found at the Retail Row and Floating Island spots. Of course, the latter might move around a little by the time you go looking for the tape, but don’t worry! It won’t move away from where we’ve shown you. Fortnite Visitor tapes at Moisty Palms and Greasy Grove Two other Out of Time Mission challenges were activated on October 9 and, as expected, there are a further two tapes to find – at Moisty and Greasy. Let’s take a look at where to find them.

Viral hit OnlyUp climbs to new heights through custom Fortnite map as player count soars – Dexerto
Viral hit OnlyUp climbs to new heights through custom Fortnite map as player count soars Twitter: @FNCreativeNews/Epic GamesOnly Up fever has gripped Fortnite, with its player-made clone hitting new heights and creating a frenzy in the Battle Royale community. The custom mode “OnlyUp Fortnite,” inspired by the hit game “Only Up!” on Steam, has stormed into the Fortnite scene, reaching an astounding 113,933 concurrent players on July 6. The original Only Up! game revolves around ascending a challenging obstacle course designed to test players’ navigation skills, precise jumping, and tenacity. Only Up! caught the attention of famed streamers, including Fortnite legend Ninja, who completed the game on his first attempt, despite its difficult reputation. Drawing inspiration from the popular game, creator ‘ArmyUnits‘ replicated the experience in Fortnite’s Creative 2.0 platform, offering the Fortnite community an opportunity to experience the thrill of Only Up! without leaving their favorite Battle Royale game. With its player base expanding rapidly, it is only trailing behind official Fortnite playlists including the original Battle Royale, Zero Build Battle Royale, and Ranked Battle Royale, in terms of player count. Intriguingly, despite its cult status among gamers and streamers, the original Only Up! game only managed a peak of 11,135 concurrent players on Steam Charts. Its price tag, which doesn’t factor into the free-to-play Fortnite’s user-generated OnlyUp Fortnite, is likely a factor in this discrepancy. Reddit’s ‘FortniteCreative’ community has been debating the future of Fortnite amidst this Only Up fever. User ‘SpireletYT’ questioned, “Is Only Up (Fortnite) a sign of the future?” Their concern centers on the fear that Fortnite might slide into a routine of low-quality creative maps, even going as far as referring to OnlyUp Fortnite as a “cheap knockoff of a licensed game.” Conversely, ‘Pepsipierat’ believes the current popularity surge is tied to the hype around the free game and anticipates future high-quality games will draw significant player attention. However, this divide hasn’t slowed the momentum of other inspired users eager to make their mark on Fortnite. One user, ‘rohji,’ put a creative spin on the popular theme, introducing a gravity-defying concept called Only Down. In this version, players must nimbly navigate a complex obstacle course heading downwards, with the unique twist of avoiding fall damage. But for now, players looking to begin their vertical adventure on OnlyUp Fortnite can do so by punching in the game code 4366-9611-6988.

Viral Fortnite TikTok trick shows how to use Armored Walls for easy kills – Dexerto
Viral Fortnite TikTok trick shows how to use Armored Walls for easy kills Epic GamesFortnite added a new trap with the Armored Wall reinforcement for mats and one viral TikTok showed just how deadly the new item can be in a close fight. Shootouts in Fortnite have tremendously evolved since the battle royale first launched with more emphasis on build battles and reflexes that ultimately help out with landing the perfect shot. Not only do you have to out-aim your opponent, you also have to outwit them with breakneck build speed. But with the new Armored Wall item, there’s a way to throw off your opponents by using their own mats against them. While the traps primarily look like a defensive tool, TikToker ‘AroseFeared’ showed why these traps shouldn’t be underestimated during a 1v1. “As I boxed up my opponent, I placed an Armored Wall on his ramp so he can’t edit to shoot,” he explained. “I can now edit out and create my own peek.” More than anything, Fortnite players understand the importance of instant edits when trying to open up a shooting angle. In build battles, placing down a mat isn’t only beneficial to block weapons, but also because of the agency it gives you to change up sight lines. If someone ramps inside of a box, then they’re probably expecting to manipulate the mat to get a peek against you. Placing the Armored Wall completely ruins that game plan since they can’t make any changes to it. Using these kinds of items in creative ways could net you quick kills against Fortnite players that aren’t expecting it. As Epic Games continue to add layers to their game, expect more of these kind of items that can change the tide in any given Fortnite match.

Video footage of all three unreleased v7.10 Fortnite emotes – Dexerto
Video footage of all three unreleased v7.10 Fortnite emotes One of the most exciting things about Fortnite Battle Royale is the release of new items, with Epic Games updating the Item Shop every day to give fans new skins, back bling or emotes. Some of the most popular things to buy in Fortnite are new emotes, which allow players to express themselves in-game, whether it’s to celebrate amazing plays and make your teammates laugh, or to mock an opponent that you have just eliminated. For those who want to see what emotes will be coming to the game in the near future, dataminer Lucas7yoshi has uploaded a video to Twitter that shows actual footage of emotes that were added to the game in the v7.10 update, but have yet to be made available to players. The video which was uploaded on Sunday, January 6 contains five total emotes, although two of these, Knee Slapper and Mind Blown, were released as part of the January 7 Item Shop. The first of the three unreleased emotes is Cheer Up, which sees Fortnite characters turn into cheerleaders, complete with pom poms. The second is titled Lazy Shuffle, and sees the character perform a dance without exerting much energy. Finally, a Time Out emote has been included in the v7.10 update files, that can be used to inform players around you that you need to stop – although there is no guarantee that enemies will obey it! All currently unreleased emotes in-game Posting due to epic not seeming to make any attacks on leakers recently What ones will you buy? (thanks @shpankus for the ffmpeg thing) (Repost cause i said skins, not emotes) pic.twitter.com/niv4xooY8M — Lucas7yoshi_ // Fortnite News & Leaks (@lucas7yoshi_) January 6, 2019 The three new emotes come at three different rarities, with Cheer Up classed as Epic, Lazy Shuffle rated as Rare and the Time Out emote as Uncommon. It’s currently unknown when these emotes will be made available for players to purchase, or how much they will cost when they are added to the Item Shop, as this information can’t be datamined.

Vaulted & unvaulted weapons in Fortnite Season 5 – Dexerto
Vaulted & unvaulted weapons in Fortnite Season 5 Epic GamesA number of weapons and items have been either vaulted or unvaulted in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5, including some fan favorites and old classics. Fortnite Season 5 officially dropped on Wednesday, December 2, bringing a number of major changes with it. As specified in the new update’s patch notes, the game is going to look pretty different going forward. Some big map changes hint toward a slow revert back to the old map, with the likes of Flush Factory and Dusty Depot starting to come back, which is more than enough reason to get excited. And, although new weapons such as the Dragon Shotgun have arrived, one thing all players will be looking for is the old items that have returned from the vault, and those which have been placed back in it. Vaulted weapons Vaulted weapons are those that have been stashed away, unplayable in the game, that might one day return to the game. Here’s what we know has been vaulted: Revolver – Fire Trap – Scoped Assault Rifle – Epic/Legendary Pump Shotgun – Legendary Combat Shotgun – Scar assault rifle – Epic/Legendary Tac SMG – Unvaulted weapons Of course, with some weapons leaving the game, some are making their grand return. Here’s what: Charge Shotgun – Double Barrel Shotgun – P90 – SMG – Storm Scout Rifle – Tactical Shotgun – Balloons – So, that’s everything that’s been vaulted or unvaulted according to the patch notes for Fortnite Season 5, and there’s definitely some there that we’re going to miss, such as the Scar assault rifles and Pump shotguns, but the Tactical Shotgun and P90 making a return could make up for that and keep the weapons feeling fresh and fun. With a number of big streamers starting to switch back to Fortnite, it looks like Season 5 could be one of the biggest yet — so have fun destroying those new and returning players!

Vaulted Ballers available in Fortnite again, but with a catch – Dexerto
Vaulted Ballers available in Fortnite again, but with a catch Epic GamesThe spherical glass vehicles known as Ballers have been spotted in Fortnite Battle Royale once again – although not exactly as they were before getting vaulted. Fortnite players have gotten used to not seeing Ballers whizzing around the map after they were vaulted at the start of Season X. However, on August 23, players were stunned to see that the vehicles had been brought back into the game, and not just as a sight for sore eyes, but very much usable. However, the instantly recognizable balls of glass were only seen in the Sniper Shootout Limited Time Mode, and not in any of the core default or competitive playlists. Read More: Insane god mode BRUTE exploit found – That still does not offer any explanation or justification for why a supposedly-vaulted vehicle is appearing again in the popular battle royale, as seen in the image below posted by Reddit user ‘Whalun.’ There are really only two plausible explanations for why Ballers were being spotted in Fortnite again. The most likely reason is that this was just the result of some sort of bug or glitch, since Epic Games have not made any announcements or even put anything in recent patch notes to suggest that something like this would be happening. Read More: Top five rarest Fortnite cosmetics – Another possibility is that the developers were planning on bringing these vehicles back specifically for the Sniper Shootout LTM, going live ahead of schedule before they had a chance to let everyone know. In either case, this oddity has been going on for several hours now, and Epic have remained completely silent on the topic – making the whole situation that much stranger. Not quite as hated as the BRUTE Mech suits currently terrorizing the game, Ballers were still a very controversial addition in Fortnite during Season 9, especially for the competitive side of things. Prominently featuring in the qualifiers and finals of the $30 million World Cup, the vehicles gave players both the ability to move around quickly, as well as a strong layer of protection from enemy fire. Read More: How to get Fortnite STW pickaxes in BR – Many competitive players claimed that Ballers were a crutch for the lesser-skilled, since it allowed them to stay alive longer in matches that they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to survive in. In either case, all indications are that they will remain firmly sealed in the vault, at least when it comes to the main casual and competitive game modes.

Valkyrae reveals the only thing that will convince her to play Fortnite again – Dexerto
Valkyrae reveals the only thing that will convince her to play Fortnite again YouTube: Valkyrae / Epic GamesRachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter has revealed she’s “super keen” to stage a big Fortnite comeback more than a year after she shelved the Epic battle royale, but there’s one thing that has to happen to totally convince her. Like many modern streaming stars across the internet, Fortnite was one of the first big games Valkyrae cut her teeth on back before her Twitch defection in 2020. Playing Fortnite helped fire the now-100 Thieves co-owner into top billing on Twitch, but Valkyrae decided to shelve the Epic Games battle royale permanently when she inked a rich YouTube deal in January last year. It was a big decision for the former Twitch star, but one she’s stuck to ever since. Two years later, Valkyrae’s self-imposed exile may be ending. The YouTuber made an unplanned Fortnite return with OTV friends on Nov. 18, and admitted she could make the comeback permanent if one big thing happens. While playing, Valkyrae revealed she’s considering coming back in a more permanent fashion, and not just in short cameo-like bursts like she has these past 24 months. “I’m having so much fun, yeah!” she admitted. “I haven’t played in ages, that was fun. I actually really liked it,” the 100 Thieves star continued. “Might need a bit of practice, but I would definitely play again. Maybe we can do a few more Fortnite streams.” There is one big catch to her return though: Valkyrae originally ended her Fortnite love affair while she was still on Twitch due to how “unfun” it is playing alone. If the 29-year-old is to return to the Epic battle royale more regularly, she’ll “only do it with friends. It is really fun playing with everyone!” So, for Valkyrae to return to Fortnite, other stars need to jump back on the battle royale train too. She added: “I don’t think I’d just go back to playing it alone.” Valkyrae was far from the only Fortnite star to leave the Epic Games battle royale behind during its 2020 slump—LazarBeam, CouRage, NICKMERCS, Tfue, and even Ninja abandoned ship over the past eighteen months. Like Hofstetter, however, many of those big stars have been slowly filtering back into the game recently. Ninja has returned to posting Fortnite highlights on his YouTube channel and even streaming the battle royale. LazarBeam has also said he’ll be “keen to play again,” eventually. With the battle royale’s third chapter now right around the corner, perhaps we’ll see even more of Fortnite’s original stars returning in droves soon too.

Useful tips and tricks to help you dominate Fortnite’s High Explosives LTM – Dexerto
Useful tips and tricks to help you dominate Fortnite’s High Explosives LTM One of Fortnite’s most popular Limited Time Modes has returned, with the V6.31 update for the game bringing back High Explosives. This game mode removes all guns from the game, leaving only items that cause mass destruction with explosives, like Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers and Dynamite. These powerful weapons can cause chaos on the map, especially if you’re not used to the gamemode, with rockets and grenades flying around as players try to secure the Victory Royale. For those who would like to win more games and get more kills in High Explosives, YouTuber Geerzy has released a video with some helpful tricks and techniques that might help you in this frenzied mode. Fortnite’s High Explosives game mode is filled with Rocket Launchers and Grenades. As the game winds down and the circles get smaller, players will attempt to build 1×1 bases to protect themselves from enemies. A simple trick to counter these is to grab two Rocket Launchers, aim at one of their walls and fire. Then, immediately switch to the second launcher and fire again. This means that the first rocket will destroy their cover, with the second dealing damage before they can react. When under attack, Geerzy suggests simply crouching down and placing a pyramid while staring at the floor. The pyramid will give you cover from all angles, while taking very little time to build. This can be especially useful when someone is firing at you, but you’re not sure where from. While these tricks are extremely useful in the High Explosives mode, they can be transferred to normal Fortnite matches as well, making them well worth picking up if you hope to secure some wins. Fortnite’s High Explosives mode is only available for a limited time, as the developers tend to switch the modes out in an attempt to keep things fresh.

Up-To-Date Map Showing How Far the Giant Cube in Fortnite Has Traveled – Dexerto
Up-To-Date Map Showing How Far the Giant Cube in Fortnite Has Traveled ChaosWhen the mysterious, large Cube appeared at the Paradise Palms location in Fortnite on August 24, no one had any idea that it would not be staying there for long. Since its unexpected appearance, the Cube has been on the move by periodically flipping in what appears to be a predetermined direction. Fortnite news, leaks, and updates source ‘@siloxleaks‘ has been keeping a close eye on the Cube’s movements. He has created a map on which he keeps track of the its location at various time stamps over the past few days. According to the map, the Cube, which began moving on August 25, did not make it out of Paradise Palms until well into the 26th. It managed to make it all the way to Fatal Fields in Day 3 of its travels, with its last recorded location being in the northeast area of the point-of-interest at 6:42 PM ET on August 27. However, according to various leaks, Fatal Fields will not be its final destination as the Cube will apparently continue traveling until it reaches a specific spot on the map, after which it will activate and reveal what its holding inside. Many are speculating that the Cube and its contents are directly related to Season 6, which would mean that Epic Games have already started their usual elaborate transition between Seasons, despite the fact that the end of Season 5 has reportedly been delayed for a couple of weeks and will take place sometime in October.

Up-and-coming Fortnite pros claim FNCS Season 1 glory – Final Placements – Dexerto
Up-and-coming Fortnite pros claim FNCS Season 1 glory – Final Placements Some of the top Fortnite squads from around the world competed for a slice of the huge FNCS Grand Finals prize pool as they tried to claim the first piece of glory in Chapter 2. The Fortnite Championship Series started back in Season 10, giving some of the best battle royale players in the world the chance to claim some big slices of cash through online play. The one change to the mix though, is that unlike the Fortnite World Cup or other events, the set discipline has changed. We saw trios in Season 10, but the first event of Chapter 2 was for the squads – with the top 24 squads from NA East, NA West, Europe, Brazil, OCE, Middle East, and Asia fighting for bragging rights in their respective regions. FNCS Squads Grand Finals results It was no surprise then, that the culmination to the weeks of qualifying ended up with some high-level action in the final matches that spanned across December 7 and December 8. While thousands of fans tuned in to support their favorite teams and players in the high pressure deciding games, the eventual winners of each region may not have been the big names that many may have been expecting. The full list of winners, broken down into each region, are as follows: NA East champions: Avery ψ, Stable Ronaldo, UnknownxArmy1x, Vanguard KEZ – NA West champions: Sogys TV, 100T Kyzui, Dоmо., VICARΟS – Europe champions: RedRush., drobbаn, znaррy, wakiе – Brazil champions: G.V shecoboy-ᴄʀ-, SNG Lasers, SNG Igo, psychøǃ – Asia champions: T1 Hood.J, T1 Peterpan, DWG Ming, Comes And Goes – Oceania champions: x2dumptruck, x2Twinѕ Jesse, mrvolx1, Ghеez – Middle East champions: Ѕanе, AEGO NOMFU 777, рancаke, ALTEREGO MEV 777 – With the focus being on the eventual winners from each region, fans may have missed out the exact placements of some of the biggest names. For starters, in the NA East region, Tfue and Cloakzy managed to pip Ninja to 7th place, with the Mixer streamer coming in 8th, while the popular Team Liquid foursome came 6th. Fortnite World Cup winner Bugha saw his squad only manage to muster a 21st placed finish – leaving them near the bottom of the pile. In Europe, Mongraal and Benjyfishy’s team were denied glory as they finished 2nd. Nyhrox, one half of the World Cup-winning duo, managed to finish in 16th place as he linked up with some new teammates. Seeing as the FNCS squads event has concluded, the focus of the competitive scene will now switch to the upcoming Winter Royale – which has a $15 million prize pool. The event will have three separate tournaments, each with different scoring and a $5 million prize pool. It’ll run from December 20-22, meaning players have got some time to make decisions on their partners and take a shot at winning some cash.
