Fortnite fans are calling for Epic Games to give the infamous Goku skin a long-awaited redesign, especially since the rest of the game's anime skins look so great.

Epic Games has changed the speed of Fortnite's storm circles following player feedback.
Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground just launched, introducing a bunch of new updates to the battle royale, including new sights to explore, a train that spans the entire island, five bosses, and of course Peter Griffin from Family Guy.
As usual, the season also arrived with tweaks to mechanics, like new movement animations and other quality-of-life changes, however, players have noticed that the game's storm circle seems to be much faster than it usually is.
Over on Reddit, one user asked, «What's with the storm circles this chapter?» going on to explain that «it feels like they're way faster than previous chapters. In early game you're already running from the storm in most matches, where in other seasons that only really happened in late game.»
The user adds that at the end of a recent match, during their final battle, a circle «spawned so far away from the one we were all fighting in that none of us could even make it there before dying.»
It seems the sentiment isn't isolated, as other players have also been experiencing the same problem, as seen in a separate Reddit post.
Thankfully, Epic is aware of the issue and has already made a balancing update so storm circles one and two will take longer to close in on players.
«We've heard some feedback from players saying that the storm is harder to escape since Chapter 5 Season 1 launch, so we've decided to make some balance adjustments: Storm Circles one and two now take 20 seconds longer to close,» the Fortnite Status account explained in a recent Twitter post.
«We'll continue to monitor our Storm data and make additional changes if needed.»

Epic Games just sent out the latest Fortnite player survey and it hints at possible collaborations with some highly-requested series like Five Nights at Freddy's, The Boys, and even some Nintendo properties.
Lego Fortnite has confirmed that the highly-requested steering wheel piece is coming to the game in the future, which should allow players to move the vehicles and structures they create.
Fortnite is the surprise hit of the winter gaming season. Although the battle royale game has maintained popularity for several years, it’s now seeing yet another massive surge in interest. Last week, Epic Games released several new modes that bring entirely different kinds of games to Fortnite. Among the additions is a rhythm game called Fortnite Festival. In it, players can form bands with others while playing as Fortnite characters. Now, players are using it to create the most absurd bands possible and share clips online as characters like Goku, Peter Griffin, Kratos, and Gojo hit the stage.
Fortnite Festival — the game's new rhythm-based mode developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix — will let you use your plastic guitars and drums in the future.
Wanting a piece of the Minecraft pie, Epic has teamed up with some iconic Danish toymakers to create their own flavour of a blocky open-world survival game and to help you jump in, we’ve got how to play LEGO Fortnite and if it is a separate game explained.
Fortnite’s long-awaited Chapter 5 will revamp the release’s traversal gameplay, while adding some headline new features, including a train and the ability to customise your weapon. All of this has been teased as part of a new trailer, which also shows off some previously leaked Battle Pass skins, including Solid Snake and Peter Griffin.
Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.
Epic Games wasn't resting on its laurels, it would seem, as following on from the dizzying heights of Fortnite OG, it has given us what we all wanted and put Peter Griffin in Fortnite — and we’ve got where to find him and how to get the skin explained.
Fortnite's big Chapter 5 update has strangely made a lot of its characters look a lot angrier, as it's removed smiling faces for anyone with default animations.
Fortnite's latest event has brought the likes of Peter Griffin and Metal Gear's legendary solider Snake to the island for the first time. Most of the changes have been received pretty well, apart from the animation tweaks that a fan doxxed a developer over, but there is one certain feature that Metal Gear fans in particular are up in arms over. Snake has been thoroughly de-caked once again.
In Chapter 5 Season 1 players can track down NPC Characters to trade for useful items and perks. A total of eight NPCs can be found scattered across the new island, and players can trade with them using Gold Bars, a currency that’s earned from defeating enemies, opening chests, and more. Trading with NPCs can give you a valuable edge in combat and exploration.
