Fortnite Season 5 is here and there’s no doubt that this is Epic’s biggest patch in the game’s history. Epic is also bringing a brand new feature called “Rifts” to the Fortnite map but the patch isn’t very clear on what exactly those will entail. After firing a shotgun , another shotgun cannot be fired for a very short time. Starting in Season 5, progressive challenges will no longer be restricted to a single season. Streamer mode no longer just says “Player###”, instead it now uses the player’s

Fortnite doesn’t really have a story as much as it has events that hint at a broad outline of what’s going on. Those events spread out into our world in the lead up to season five, with the Durr Burger sign showing up in the Los Angeles desert. The new trailer for season five gives at least a few hints about what’s going on, and you can watch it at the top of this post. The story is likely to continue throughout the season, or at least more things are going to happen as the game is patched and p

But if you thought we’d seen the last of those pesky treasure map challenges, think again. This week your task is to: “Follow the treasure map found in Risky Reels.”As always, there is a treasure map in Risky Reels, but you don’t need to worry about that. Specifically you’re looking for a small strip of land just above the tunnel’s entrance (on the Tomato Town side). Try to land as close to that as possible, as the Battle Star will be hotly contested. If you’re in the right spot, the Battle Star

Fortnite Season 5 has arrived and that means a whole host of new cosmetics are coming with it in the new Battle Pass. The Season 5 Battle Pass will be available for purchase in Fortnite’s in-game store for the entirety of the season and will cost 950 V-Bucks ($9.50). For the first time in Fortnite, Season 5’s free pass will also open up the first three challenges of every week to free players as well. Just like last season’s pass there will be progressive challenges, which unlock new pieces of a

The All Terrain Kart, or ATK, is one of the more exciting details about the just-released season five of Fortnite. “The All Terrain Kart has room for your entire squad,” the Fortnite team wrote in the game’s official patch notes. You’ll get a speed boost from drifting, and players can use the roof of the vehicle as a bounce pad. “Work together as rear passengers to leap over obstacles with the All Terrain Kart (ATK). We’ll have more details about the ATK, along with a hands-on report on how well

“Viking ships, desert outposts, and ancient statues have appeared across the island,” the Fortnite team wrote in the official patch notes for season five.

This week was traditionally the time in which the old NCAA Football series that EA Sports published, but canceled in 2013, would have launched. In the final season, I remember NCAA Football 14 was taking on a “sameness problem.” NCAA Football 14 had changes and updates but not new features that distinguished or advanced it from past editions. But EA Sports’ NCAA Football was still a miracle of modern sports video game development. We take a lot for granted as video game fans, and we took the mos

In this week’s episode of Quality Control, Dave Tach and Michael McWhertor talk about Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Press play below to learn about the game’s history and what you get with the new versions headed to Switch and Nintendo 3DS (spoiler: not a whole lot, but some of it seems cool). Stick around to find out just what it is about this little game that keeps Mike coming back. As Mike wrote in his review, “Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for Switch is measurably better in all ways than

Fortnite’s Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, which makes the $9.99 V-Buck bundle the least expensive way to buy one of the best in-game items in the industry. The Battle Pass gives you more currency than you spend on itThis tactic is like many parts of Fortnite: Kinda nice, but also brutal once you think about it. The Battle Pass has 100 levels total per season, and 13 of those levels reward you with 100 V-Bucks. But you can continue to just buy the Battle Pass and let your extra V-Bucks pile up in

Along his 60-issue journey, Yorick meets a number of women who open his eyes to what the world really is and what the world really will be as this version of the future continues to unfold. Headlining the series will be Academy Award-nominated actress Diane Lane (Unfaithful, Man of Steel), who will join Keoghan as Senator Jennifer Brown, Yorick’s mother and a major political force before and after the plague. Vaughan, along with Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson (American Crime Story, Pose, The Hun

Fortnite has caught the attention of rappers, but a new song and video from Murda Beatz, Lil Yachty, Ski Mask the Slump God and Yung Bans takes admiration for the game to a whole new level. Fortnite fans will recognize parts of the score in the track, which features the vocal stylings of the three aforementioned rappers. Both Yachty and Drake recently played a couple of Fortnite rounds with Ninja, the most popular Fortnite streamer in the world. Myth, another popular streamer, even teamed up wit

Hot on the heels of his show-stealing reprisal as Luis in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp, Michael Peña stars in the Netflix original film Extinction, looking considerably less goofy and considerably more in peril. It’s not clear at first what the threat is — only that Peña’s character is the only one who believes his harrowing visions may one day become reality. There’s a pivotal moment in the trailer when it becomes apparent that the crisis is no longer a premonition. Peña’s character’s visions

Company administrators and the moderators behind r/thanosdidnothingwrong, a subreddit dedicated to Thanos, managed to successfully ban half of the subreddit’s members. Reddit, Marvel Studios and Marvel itself all tweeted about the ban, blasting the news to millions of followers. A popular Reddit user, n1407, finished his six-part series, Reddit: Banfinity War, which is a hefty re-edit of certain Avengers: Infinity War scenes set to focus on the impending ban. Moderators are asking members to hel

“One of the greatest things about the Hulk as a character is how simple the rules are — when Banner gets mad, he turns into the Hulk and smashes stuff. In the first six issues of Incredible Hulk (circa 1962), the character bounced between monosyllabic and brainy, from slow and clumsy to fast and stealthy. Despite jumping genres, though, it feels like a logical fit for the character because Pak stays true to the themes at the heart of Hulk. From 1987-1998, David wrote 134 consecutive issues of In

Warner Bros.’ New Line studio has been trying to get a new Mortal Kombat movie off the ground for years now in the form of a reboot of the franchise. Pop culture site That Hashtag Show reported earlier this week that the Mortal Kombat reboot will feature an original character in the lead role: Cole Turner. Also listed are some characters deeper in the Mortal Kombat lore, like Drahmin, Nitara and Reiko. The Mortal Kombat movie hinted at in The Hashtag Show’s casting breakdown will likely be consi

Just like previous seasons, developer Epic Games kept the Fortnite changes coming throughout the season. Good: Skins and emotes got a lot betterLast season’s skins certainly didn’t disappoint. With all the lessons the company learned from Season 4, there’s no telling what Season 5’s Battle Pass might bring. This season’s changes allowed players to use a whole new combination of guns, and for them to be just as successful as the standard two shotguns of old. That being said, the map changes the E

Epic Games announced that it will host the new Fortnite Summer Skirmish series, a tournament with a combined prize pool of $8 million, which will be awarded across eight weeks of competition. The first of these competitions is going to be a Duos mode event this weekend that will have a prize pool of $250,000. Back in May, Epic announced that it would be starting its esports venture with Fortnite in 2018 by putting together a series of tournaments with a total prize pool of $100 million. Then, at

A new RoboCop movies is in development at MGM Studios, with District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp at the helm, according to a report from Deadline. The sequel, RoboCop Returns, will reportedly be based on a story from the creators and original writers of RoboCop, Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. Writer Justin Rhodes, who is also writing the new Terminator movie, is reportedly overhauling Neumeier and Miner’s RoboCop sequel script. RoboCop Returns will be MGM’s second attempt to revive

Fortnite Season 5 is almost here, but we still don’t really know much about it. Jurassic Period: Dinosaur bonesSure, technically this could be any era of dinosaur bones, but we’re going to call it Jurassic. This is a little interesting because technically we have been getting hints of dinosaurs in Fortnite since the beginning of this season, so there’s really no telling what this might be teasing. Feudal Japan: The kitsune maskThis image was tweeted by the official Fortnite account on Monday mor

This is something League of Legends developer Riot Games has never tried before. According to Riot, 70 percent of autofill players go into support, with the other four positions combining to make up the other 30 percent. In early 2018, Riot combined the support items with an item called the Sightstone that provided extra vision wards. There you go: a support character who gets to kill a lot of people and make fun, splashy plays. Pyke’s other big problem is that his core items are very expensive,
