Time has come to take on the shogun!

If you are away to tackle the weekly challenge linked to the Shoguns Arena, want to scope out the location to snap some classic shots in your clash against the Samurai NPC boss, or aim to create content, it is critical to know where the Shoguns Arena is located within Fortnite.

In case you’re not sure, season 1 of Fortnite Chapter 6, called ‘Hunters,’ introduces a Japanese Samurai theme for players to explore.

Detailed Overview of Shoguns Arena in Fortnite

With the latest additions, we now have a novel floating POI, the Shoguns Arena, that becomes visible once you achieve certain criteria.

The Shoguns Arena in Fortnite can be found at random spots in the sky across the map during the fourth round of the battle royale game.

The arena appears just as the fourth circle shrinks and is marked on the in-game map as a red dimensional rift, as you can see in the screenshot of the map above.

So, when you start a battle royale match, your initial goal should be to survive till the closing of the fourth circle.

You are free to employ any strategy – lying low in bushes, hunting down opponents, ticking off other challenges, or anything else, as long as you survive until the fourth round.

As the fourth circle comes into play, pop open your in-game map and look for the location of the red dimensional rift symbol.

Next, navigate to the specified location and harness the air updraft to reach the Shoguns Arena. Simply stand in the wind updraft and press the jump command.

Arriving at Shoguns Arena in Fortnite

Once inside the Shoguns Arena and viewing the map, you’ll notice a large main floating island surrounded by three smaller islands.

All these areas are designated as part of the Shoguns Arena, and any damage inflicted here will contribute towards your challenge. Damage dealt to the NPC boss also counts towards the challenge.

The return of some of the most elusive skins to the game is not a daily occurrence. Epic Games has re-introduced the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper skins to Fortnite. These skins were initially made available in the shop during Season 1 and have made a comeback to the item shop after a span of seven years.

Players now have the chance to acquire these rare skins and commemorate Fortnite Original Chapter 1, and the game’s 7th anniversary. Here is a guide to assist you in obtaining the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper skins in Fortnite.

Procedure to Acquire the Aerial Assault Trooper in Fortnite

To earn the Aerial Assault Trooper, players are required to gain 1,000,000 XP, roughly equivalent to 13.5 Battle Pass levels. Upon reaching the XP goal, Aerial Assault Trooper can be bought from the OG Season Shop for 1,200 V-Bucks.

After collecting 500,000 XP (approximately 6 Battle Pass levels), players can also get the corresponding Aerial Assault One Glider for 500 V-Bucks. A unique LEGO theme Aerial Assault Trooper is also accessible.

To earn Renegade Raider, players need to accumulate a total of 1,500,000 XP. This can be collected by regular gameplay, completing everyday missions, and engaging in different game modes. Once the required XP is collected, they can navigate to the OG Season Shop in the Item Shop to buy Renegade Raider for 1,200 V-Bucks.

Upon obtaining a total of 2,000,000 XP (which equates to 25 Battle Pass levels), players can also get their hands on the matching Raider’s Revenge Pickaxe for 1,500 V-Bucks.

What is the equivalent of 1.5 million XP in Fortnite levels

Approximately, 1.5 million XP equals about 19 Battle Pass levels in Fortnite. It will require considerable effort and regular playing hours to obtain such XP, but it is indeed worth it for those who appreciate OG skins like these.

Let’s go in search of the colossal creature.

The Season 1, Chapter 6 Fortnite trailer revealed the presence of the Great Turtle, which is truly an enormous beast.

This gigantic creature can be seen swimming in a number of lakes all over the island, catching several players by surprise as their boats sail past it.

Although the turtle is immense, it isn’t readily observable due to its constant movement from one location to another. However, its presence affords a great landing spot. Here’s a guide to assist you in locating the Giant Turtle in Fortnite.

The Giant Turtle’s whereabouts in Fortnite?

The map contains seven potential spawn locations for the Great Turtle. We highlight these spots on the provided map.

The most effective strategy is to review the map while aboard the battle bus. Pay close consideration to the highlighted spots, and see if you can identify the Giant Turtle swimming in any of the bodies of water. Alternatively, you could simply leap into the center of the map and scan for the turtle while you descend.

While near or on the Great Turtle, you might come across Ryuji, an in-game character. This NPC will share a tale about a marine serpent and the unfortunate predicament of the Great Turtle. As per Ryuji, the turtle is grappling with darkness and solitude as it searches for its lost paramour.

Hunting for the monumental turtle adds a thrill to the routine Fortnite games, keeping them engaging.

Currently, apart from being a moving landing spot where you can open chests and engage in standard map activities, the Great Turtle doesn’t offer any rewards or unique features. Nonetheless, future updates may introduce an easter egg related to it.

Our guide to locating the Giant Turtle in Fortnite concludes here.

Get ready for a monstrous invasion in your Fortnite gaming sphere!

The much-awaited Fortnite Chapter 6 is about to unveil exciting collaborations and dynamic twists, which include the Godzilla crossover. Being a standard practice, gamers are quite keen to learn every aspect of the Fortnite Godzilla cooperation.

Thankfully, early insights have been provided by several famous leakers. So, let’s delve straight into the full details about Fortnite Godzilla collaboration, bearing its release date and important leaks.

Fortnite Godzilla tie-in launch date and leaked information

Despite the absence of official confirmation, the Fortnite Godzilla collaboration is speculated to go live on December 1, 2024, as part of the Chapter 6 Season 1 update. Hints of this crossover were first unveiled with the Rocket League Season 17 teaser.

Gamers spotted the emblem of Monarch—a distinguishing feature from the Godzilla series—displayed on a game machine in the teaser. This minor clue strongly suggests that Godzilla is joining the worlds of Fortnite and Rocket League.

The main aspect of this collaboration for Rocket League seems to be the release of a Godzilla-themed car. Leaked data suggests that this vehicle will most likely resemble the Nissan GT-R—a car known for its power and superior performance. This unique car is set to make its debut as part of the Rocket Pass on December 4th.

Not to leave the battle royale gamers, they can expect a Godzilla skin for their in-game avatars as part of the Fortnite Godzilla crossover.

Gamers may also get their hands on a plethora of themed accessories, including a back bling and a pickaxe inspired by the King of Monsters.

However, it’s essential to remember that this information relies on the leaks, so we advise treating it as speculative until further official updates.

It’s time to perfect your aim from a first-person perspective.

The much anticipated first person mode in Fortnite is nearing its launch, with Epic Games finally confirming a release date.

For those unaware, Epic Games first mentioned the first person mode during their State of Unreal event in March 2024, but didn’t provide a specific release date.

Details on Fortnite’s first person mode

Although no exact release date was provided at the time, we now have a release window for the first person mode in Fortnite.

When will Fortnite’s first person mode be released?

The First Person Camera Mode device is set to enter Beta on December 11, 2024, as revealed in the official announcement. It’s worth noting that its initial launch will be restricted to the Creative island, enabling only custom map creators to use this feature.

Regrettably, as stated during the State of Unreal event in March 2024, the new mode won’t be included in the main Battle Royale mode at launch. However, as development continues, it might make its way into Zero build and build modes.

To integrate this capability into their islands, publishers should navigate to Fortnite’s Creator portal and locate the first person mode feature under Fortnite > Devices > Experiment section.

It’s important that creators keep a few things in mind when adding this new feature:

  • During the Beta release, most ranged weapons and the Ballistic Shield can be used in first-person, but not all of them will have custom reload animations.
  • Actions such as dual-wielding, swimming, gliding, and skydiving will automatically switch to third-person view.
  • Player’s hands or weapon might be hidden during certain actions, and rendering or shadow issues like clipping might occur.

Epic Games states in their blog that backwards compatibility for assets created during the experimental phase cannot be assured.

Among⁤ all the ‌collaborations Fortnite has had, Fortnite X Star Wars stands out ​as the ⁣most significant across⁣ all five chapters. This ⁤collaboration is a recurring ‌event, bringing with it lightsabers, skins, and‌ special challenges every year. Despite already featuring ‌many of the franchise’s biggest characters, Epic has managed to introduce two more​ fan favorites this⁣ year.

Given the frequency of this collaboration, we have a good idea of what to expect. Epic‍ has ⁢also been teasing some of the new⁣ content. Here’s what‍ we know about Fortnite X Star Wars in ⁤Chapter 5.

New Skins in Fortnite X Star Wars

Skins are always⁤ a highlight‍ of any in-game crossover. ⁣While most of the main characters from the franchise have been featured, Epic has saved a few for Chapter ‌5 Star⁢ Wars content.

The two new headline skins are Lando and Chewie. Lando, the ⁢ruler of Cloud City and a former ally of Han, and Chewie, the lovable Wookie who communicates through growls, will both be part of the‌ new Fortnite X Star Wars crossover.

These skins are exciting additions to the current roster and ​it will be interesting to see them in-game.

In-Game Content⁢ Across All Modes

Epic has made it ​clear that Fortnite ‌X Star Wars is ‌not just for‍ Battle​ Royale. We’re expecting new content ‌for other game modes as well, such as Lego Fortnite.

With Lego‍ Star Wars being ⁣a franchise of ⁢its own, it’s exciting to ‌see it represented here. There will also ⁢be content for Fortnite Festival, as highlighted in the teaser image for Lando.

While we don’t know what ⁢songs will be featured in the Festival, it could be something fun from the series⁤ like Jedi Rocks, or perhaps some of John Williams’ iconic score. In Battle Royale, we’re definitely expecting the return of lightsabers, possibly with the‍ force powers seen in newer⁤ collaborations, making them more⁢ interesting as ⁢Fortnite melee weapons.

Excel Esports sign Fortnite pro Wolfiez

British esports organisation Excel Esports signed Jaden “Wolfiez” Ashman as their first Fortnite player, Excel announced today.

 

Wolfiez will become the first-ever Fortnite player who has signed with Excel, meanwhile being one of the best Fortnite players in the world. The 16-year old Fortnite pro is widely regarded as the biggest talent in the scene and a Guinness World Record holder, as the youngest person in esports history to ever win US $1 million at a single event.

The young Brit began his Fortnite career in February 2019, when he made his first appearance in a competitive environment at Cooler Cup 2019-02-20. Although success was hard to come by for Wolfiez in the early days of his esports career, the youngster made a breakthrough in July 2019, when he won WC 2019 EU Qualifiers – Week 10, which earned him a contract with Lazarus Esports, who acted quickly and picked up the young talent.

In the months that followed, Wolfiez picked up two eighth-place finishes at Trio Cash Cup 1 – Europe alongside Derman "MOTOR" Özdemir and Dave "Rojo" Jong, to which he added his career-best achievement when he finished runner-up at a World Cup 2019 – Duo Finals alongside Rojo and with that split a $2,250,000 prize with his teammate.

Throughout the years, Wolfiez became known for using a controller in competitions against PC players, while also being the highest earner our of all UK esports player with $1,140,026 in tournament winnings to date, which is over two times as much as the second-highest earner Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson and third-highest paid UK esports player, FIFA superstar Donovan "TekKz" Hunt.

Due to his success at the Fortnite World Cup, Wolfiez was also recognised as the 12th-highest esports earner of 2019, according to numbers provided by esportsearnings.com.

Wolfiez spent most of his career with Lazarus Esports, an organisation he joined in July. Unfortunately, Lazarus dropped their entire roster in February, leaving Wolfiez without an organisation. Since then, Wolfiez has been competing as a free agent and picked up a few solid results, including third place at FNCS Chapter 2 Season 2 Warmup – Europe, fourth at Contender Duo Cash Cup (Shadow) Week 1 – Europe, second at Contender Duo Cash Cup (Ghost) Week 2 – Europe and most recently 10th at Fortnite Champion Series: Chapter 2: Season 2 Heat 1 – Europe, as well as 27th at Fortnite Champion Series: Chapter 2: Season 2 Grand Finals – Europe and 24th at Contender Cash Cup Week 1 – Europe.

As of May 1, 2020, Wolfiez is ranked 23rd in the 2020 Fortnite European PC Power Rankings with 14550 PR points, which he earned with one gold, two silver and bronze medals, as well as two fourth-place finishes at Fortnite competitions. With 14550 PR points, Wolfiez is just 2120 short of reaching top-10 and 12750 behind the current frontrunner Alexandre "Andilex" Christophe.

With the acquisition, Excel will enter the Fortnite competitive scene for the first time in the organisation's history. Established in December 2014, Excel Esports is mostly known for its League of Legends team, which competes in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), where they have recently finished their Spring Split at seventh place, two wins short of making their first-ever playoffs appearance. Excel's LoL team has also recently acquired Felix “Kryze” Hellström and promoted BT Excel mid laner Jordan “Special” Scheffe to their main roster in a bid to see more success in the LEC Summer Split.

Although Excel's entry into the Fortnite competitive scene is a bit late compared to other major esports organisations like FaZe Clan, Team Liquid and 100 Thieves, who created their Fortnite divisions in 2018, it's fair to say Excel's future in the scene with the reigning World Cup runner-up is bright.
