In Fortnite battle royale and Zero Build, the difference between winning and losing doesn't just come down to skills such as aiming a gun or building a fortress. It can just as often be about who has a trick up their sleeve, who knows the map the best, or who takes advantage of some of Fortnite's unheralded secrets and tips. That's why we're here to, uh, herald them. With these lesser-known tricks you can grow your power even as the safe zone shrinks. Here are 11 Fortnite secrets and under-the-radar tips.
While Shield Breakers are great for quickly wiping out enemy shields or shutting down electronics like turrets or security cameras, they have a hidden use too: earning you free gold bars. Each EMP thrown near a vending (or Mending) machine will cause the dispensary to spit out 150 gold bars.
There's no limit to how many times this will work either, so if you're carrying a full stack of six EMPs, you can earn 900 gold bars, nearly a fifth of the maximum capacity you can carry. With even more EMPs, you can earn even more gold, of course, if you're willing to use them in this way rather than on your rivals around the island.
If you're lucky enough to go into a downed state in in duos, trios, or squads while near a Mending Machine (a vending machine that sells only health items), you can crawl over to it and heal yourself by buying the Get Patched Up option for 200 gold, which restores almost all your HP. This is very helpful since you'll be slowly losing HP while downed and you may want to extend the time your allies have to get to you and revive you.
While we're on the subject of Mending Machines, stop ignoring them! Many players like to carry health items in their inventory, and while I won't say that's never worthwhile--in fact, it often is--it's really only vital in the final circle or two. If you're playing in a team mode with good players, you can usually get by with one or two people in a larger group stashing some heals, leaving more open inventory slots for others.
That way, if you need to heal, you can either borrow theirs or get to a Mending Machine, which will fix you right up at no inventory cost at all. So long as the safe zone includes some named locations or other small landmarks like gas stations, you can probably make it to a Mending Machine and use the aforementioned patch-up option.
This is arguably the easiest but most important change you can make in all of Fortnite's competitive modes. We actually have a separate guide to help you turn on this critical feature, visualized audio effects, so here I'll just reiterate why it's important: Visualized audio adds on-screen HUD effects to noise, meaning things like gunfire, Reboot Van uses, and most importantly, footsteps, can
Sony Interactive Entertainment is reportedly planning to bring Until Dawn to PS5 and PC.
The first major LEGO Fortnite update since the mode launched is now live. Various gameplay changes have been made, as well as performance fixes, and the elimination of pesky bugs that have been getting in the way of your playthrough. In addition, a new item has become available in both Survival and Sandbox modes that’ll elevate you to new heights. That’s right, the Launch Pad has joined LEGO Fortnite and here’s how you can craft one the next time you play.
A PlayStation developer has revealed that the company is planning a large array of PC ports of their top games later in the year.
From its hand-to-hand combat and its fully simulated whip to its focus on cinematic set pieces and the fact that it’s going to be a primarily first-person experience, there’s plenty about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that has been revealed by developer MachineGames, though some questions have still yet to be answered. For instance, how is the game going to be structured? Is it going to be a linear experience, as you’d expect from a cinematic action-adventure game such as this one, or will it afford room for open-ended exploration?
Sheryl Sandberg, who helped to transform Facebook from a tech startup into a digital advertising empire, will step down from the board of Meta, Facebook's parent company.
Microsoft's January Xbox Developer Direct has been and gone, bringing first looks and long-awaited release news for some of the company's most highly anticipated titles. MachineGames' Indiana Jones was the biggie of course, showcasing first gameplay and featuring confirmation of a 2024 release, but there was more besides, with Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Avowed, and Oxide Games' Ara: History Untold all putting in an appearance.
Back in 2024 Microsoft and Bethesda announced a new Indiana Jones game was coming our way courtesy of producer Todd Howard and Wolfenstein developer MachineGames, but since then, very little else has been revealed. Rumors that the game may be launching this year have been making the rounds, but it’s been radio silence from Microsoft and Bethesda themselves.
The leaks were right. Machine Games' next Nazi-biffer is called Indiana Jones And The Great Circle. It was shown for the first time during this evening's Xbox Developer Direct, where we got to see first-person punching and whipping, some tomb raiding, and plenty of Indy's face in cutscenes.
2015’s Until Dawn was an early stand-out PlayStation 4 exclusive. Developed by Supermassive Games, it effectively asked players to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to a horror movie. Everyone has yelled at characters not to run upstairs when pursued or split up to search for somebody, but Until Dawn let you make those calls.
Developer Supermassive Games' branching-narrative horror, Until Dawn, which exclusively hit PlayStation in 2015, is the latest video game to get the film adaptation treatment. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Shazam! and Annabelle: Creation director David F. Sandberg will direct the Until Dawn movie.
Vince Staples is getting his own Netflix series. The rapper, and occasional actor, first tweeted about his show on Monday, but it wasn’t until Wednesday that we got our first look at it in Netflix’s new trailer and it already looks great. The series, called The Vince Staples Show, will premiere on Feb. 15.
Upon logging into Fortnite, a quick flick of the mouse or joystick will reveal a library of user-generated content crafted using Fortnite’s Creative tools. While many of these are genuinely impressive experiences with considerable audiences, it’s clear that Fortnite is suffering from a severe lack of content moderation.
