Epic Games have revealed four of the upcoming Fortnite chapter 4 season 3 Battle Pass skins.

We’re just a few days away from the release of Fortnite chapter 4 season 3. We already know what to expect in the new season thanks to numerous leaks.

We know Optimus Prime will be a Battle Pass skin, we know we’re getting helicopters will be getting a launcher that’ll have a fire rate of 2 seconds and deal 35 damage to players.

In order to create hype for a new season, Epic Games release teaser images or videos showing off skins, features, or new items coming to the game.

The name of Fortnite chapter 4 season 3 was confirmed as “WILDS” yesterday with the release of the first teaser video which showcases a jungle.

A few hours ago, a new teaser was posted on social media with the following caption:

“Cracked, but not broken. Overgrown, but not forbidden. Lost, but not forgotten. What lies underneath the surface?”.

Epic Games then followed up by posting images of four of the Battle Pass skins for the new season. Here’s a look at those skins along with the names for each.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 WILDS Battle Pass Skins

Era

Era is a skin that was included as a survey skin. It’s no surprise this was added to the season three Battle Pass. Based on early feedback, it appears as though this is the favorite out of the four skins that have been revealed today.

Trace

The third best-voted skin, Trace.

Rian

Rian is the least favorite outfit that’s been revealed from the season three Battle Pass.

Lorenzo

Lorenzo was seen in the first leak for the new season alongside the Optimus Prime skin.

The world premiere for the first look at Fortnite chapter 4 season 3 will release on Thursday during the Summer Game Fest, a day before the new season is expected to launch.

We’ll be covering all the updates, news, and leaks in the lead-up to the new season, so be sure to check back regularly.

Epic Games announced that they released a new Fortnite update today (May 30th, 2023), version 3.91. Here’s what you need to know about the latest release.

Last week, Epic Games released the final update of Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 with the season scheduled to end next week on June 9th.

Aside from the highly anticipated Spider-verse x Fortnite collaboration, there wasn’t much in the way of new changes.

However, the Spider-Man web-shooters returned as the Spider-Verse Web-Shooters, which can be found as floor loot.

If you want to guarantee yourself the Web-Shooters, you can purchase them for gold bars from Spider-Gwen, who was added to the map when the 24.40 update was released.

Although there will be no new major Fortnite update before the start of the new season, we do have a downloadable update on May 30th, 2023.

Fortnite Update 3.91 Patch Notes – 30th May 2023

Epic Games announced the new 3.91 Fortnite update on the official Fortnite Status account. As expected, this is not a major release and is instead a stability update.

The new update is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Amazon Luna.

As this is a stability fix, there is nothing new that’s been added to the files. Here’s the tweet announcing the new release:

Although there’s nothing exciting in today’s update, we know what to expect from the new season of Fortnite thanks to leakers.

We know that there will be a Transformers Optimus Prime skin available in the Battle Pass along with knowing that there will be a tropical biome added to the map along with a volcanic area.

A Summer Meowscles skin and a mechanic skin will be available in the new season along with rideable raptors and a new Lever Pistol coming to the game at some point during season 3.

We’ll be covering the build up to the new season including any other leaks that emerge over the next week or so. Be sure to check back to our news page located here.

Fortnite players are wondering whether the Kinetic Blade is gone or if it’s still in Fortnite.

At the start of every season of Fortnite, Epic Games change up the loot pool by vaulting and unvaulted items as well as adding in new items.

Epic has focused on introducing more unique items over the past few seasons. One of the most popular additions over the past year has been the Shockwave Hammer.

It was introduced with the release of Fortnite chapter 4 and quickly became an all-time favorite item thanks to the ability that allows players to rotate around the map and navigate their way out of bad situations.

However, the Shockwave Hammer was vaulted with the release of Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. However, it was replaced with a similar item that can both deal damage and allow players to get around the map quicker.

The Kinetic Blade was the replacement. The new addition allows players to use a basic attack, Knockback Slash, which consists of two quick slashes, both of which will deal 35 damage to an opposing player.

The second function, the Dash Attack, deals 60 damage to opponents as you charge forward. However, the majority of players will use this to travel around the map quicker.

Players can get away from fights or get to a fight quicker using the Kinetic Blade’s Dash Attack. If players look up and use the attack, they can take flight and not worry about fall damage on their way down.

There are two different versions, a rare and an epic version. Here are the stats for each:

The Kinetic Blade can be found across the map but the best place to get your hands on one is on the southeast side of the map at Kenjutsu Crossing.

Unfortunately, players have been having trouble finding the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite, and here’s why.

Is the Kinetic Blade Still in Fortnite or is it Gone?

Players have been wondering whether the Kinetic Blade has been removed from Fortnite as they’re no longer able to find it on the map.

Unfortunately, Epic Games announced on the official Fortnite Status Twitter account that the Kinetic Blade has been removed from all Fortnite playlists due to an issue with the fan favorite item.

The bad news doesn’t end there. Epic Games also stated that the Kinetic Blade won’t be making a return to Fortnite for the remainder of chapter 4 season 2.

Here’s the official tweet:

For those wondering, there was a glitch that allowed players to eliminate others from any range with the Kinetic Blade.

Here are the steps players needed to take in order to do this:

1. Players must be in the open for this to work.
2. Disconnect wifi and dash to the players, you can use the slice feature reputedly until you feel like you’ve done 200 damage.
3. Reconnect wifi and you’ll be teleported back and granted the kill.

Here’s a video of the glitch in action:

How to kill anyone from any range with the Kinetic Blade:

1) Players must be in the open for this to work.
2) Disconnect wifi and dash to the players, you can use the slice feature reputedly until you feel like you've done 200 damage.
3) Reconnect wifi and you'll be… pic.twitter.com/oKGwB8bGUC

There’s no information on whether the Kinetic Blade will be in Fortnite next season which releases in the middle of June.

However, if it gets the same treatment as the Shockwave Hammer, expect there to be a similar item in the loot pool with the release of season three.

A new leak on Reddit showcases a leaked Transformers Optimus Prime skin in Fortnite. Here’s everything we know about the latest collaboration.

For the past few months, a number of leaks have emerged regarding the future of Fortnite Battle Royale. A few weeks ago, popular leakers including Hypex and ShiinaBR leaked when a new chapter of Fortnite would be coming.

According to a trustworthy source, chapter 5 of Fortnite will be released at the end of the year. We’ve had other leaks, too.

Season themes have been leaked months in advance along with the skins players can expect to see in the new Battle Pass.

Prior to the launch of Fortnite chapter 4 season 3, we knew we would be getting Eren Jaeger in the Battle Pass along with other skins including Stray (Drift 2.0).

Leaks haven’t stopped, they’ve only increased over the past few weeks. Leakers stated that chapter 4 season 3 would be tropical-themed and the latest leak all but confirms it along with a new collaboration this time with Transformers.

Transformers in Fortnite

Epic Games have continued to build their metaverse over the past few weeks. The first collaboration with Marvel back in chapter 1 season 4 has led to Epic Games bringing in characters from movies, games, the music industry, and more.

Now, it’s all but confirmed Transformers will be in Fortnite according to a new leaked image that was posted on Reddit.

The leaked image confirms Fortnite chapter 4 season 3 will be tropical-themed and leaked one of the Battle Pass skins, Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime Transformers Skin in Fortnite

A Transformers x Fortnite collaboration seemed unlikely. There were no prior leaks suggesting a collaboration would be imminent.

With season three being tropical-themed, it makes sense that a Transformers x Fortnite collaboration would be released with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts releasing in cinemas on June 7th.

The Transformers Fortnite chapter 4 season 3 Battle Pass skin is Optimus Prime. For those of you that want to see the leaked image of the Optimus Prime skin, we’ve included it below.

As you can see in the image above, there are a couple of other skins that can be seen including a tiger skin in the background.

With the new season of Fortnite just a couple of weeks away, expect more leaks to surface. We’ll cover them all here on Fortnite Insider so stay tuned!

We have a large number of new Fortnite skins that have been leaked from today’s v24.40 Fortnite patch update. Here’s a look at all of the new cosmetics including the new Miles Morales and Spiderman 2099 outfits.

In every major Fortnite update, Epic Games add new Fortnite cosmetics that’ll be released in the item shop at a later date.

At the peak of Fortnite’s popularity, Epic would add a large number of new cosmetics in each major patch release. However, for the most part, that hasn’t been the case for a couple of years.

In most recent updates, Epic has only added three or four new skins, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with today’s v24.40 release.

We already knew a Miles Morales Spiderverse skin would be coming to the game, which has now been leaked, but nobody expected the sheer number of new skins that have been added to the files today.

Here’s a look at all the new cosmetics that were added in the v24.40 Fortnite update.

Miles Morales Spiderverse and Spiderman 2099 Fortnite Skins

A few days ago, Epic Games all but confirmed the rumors, a Spider-Verse Fortnite skin would be coming with Miles Morales being added to the item shop.

The skin has now been added to the files and leaked by data miners. Data miners have also leaked a Spiderman 2099 skin, both of which can be seen below.

All Fortnite Leaked Skins – v24.40 Update – May 17th, 2023

Here’s a look at all of the other Fortnite skins leaked from today’s v24.40 update:

The post All Leaked Fortnite Skins v24.40 – Miles Morales, Spiderman 2099 appeared first on Fortnite Insider.

Epic Games will be releasing a brand new Fortnite update today, 24.40 (3.90). Here are the early patch notes for today’s release.

Two weeks ago, Epic Games released the third major update for Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. The update included another Star Wars collaboration with new cosmetics being made available to purchase from the item shop.

We also had a new set of quests for the collaboration called “Find The Force”. Players earned Galactic Reputation upon completing these quests which provided players with the chance to unlock free cosmetic rewards.

Players could also purchase the premium reward track that provides additional Star Wars-themed cosmetics including Darth Maul and two different Storm Trooper outfits.

Since then we’ve only had a patch release that addressed stability issues that were introduced with the release of the v24.30 patch update.

However, we knew we would be getting a new Fortnite update today, 24.40 (3.90). It’s the penultimate update of the season with chapter 4 season 3 expected to release on June 9th if there aren’t any unforeseen delays.

With that said, we know what we can expect to see in today’s 24.40 update, and we’ve listed everything we know so far about today’s update below.

Fortnite Server Scheduled Downtime Today

As we’ve come to expect, Epic Games will take down the Fortnite servers today (16th May, 2023), in order to prepare them for the 24.40 update.

The Fortnite Status Twitter account announced that server downtime will start at 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST with matchmaking being disabled shortly beforehand, likely thirty minutes prior.

As usual, Epic hasn’t announced how long the servers will be down. However, we’d expect them to be down for at least a couple of hours, which means the servers should be back online at roughly 5 AM ET / 10 AM on May 17th, 2023.

Here’s the tweet from the official Fortnite Status Twitter account:

UPDATE: The v24.40 update has been delayed.

We’ll update this article when the servers are officially back online.

Fortnite Update 3.90 (24.40) Patch Notes – 17th May 2023

Ranked Play

We already knew the 24.40 Fortnite update would include the release of the first Fortnite Ranked mode. Epic teased the release of ranked in a tweet and later released a blog post with further information.

The 3.90 (24.40) update includes ranked for both the normal Battle Royale and the Zero Build game modes. There are a total of eight ranks which are listed below:

• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
• Diamond
• Elite
• Champion
• Unreal

Here’s a look at the rank icons:

The release of Ranked means the popular Arena mode will be permanently disabled once the servers are back online once v24.40 has been released.

Epic has also announced materials caps will be decreased from 999 to 500 with today’s update.

Fortnite X Spider-Verse Collaboration – Miles Morales Skin

Fortnite data miners leaked that a Fortnite x Spider-Verse collaboration would be coming at some point in the future.

It looks like that collaboration will go live at some point in the next week. If leaks are correct, we should see 2 skins make their way into the item shop to purchase along with the release of new Web shooters.

Like the Star Wars collaboration, the Spider-Verse collaboration will include challenges that players can complete, but there’s no word on if any free cosmetic rewards will be available.

A tweet teasing the collaboration all but confirms that there will be a Miles Morales Fortnite skin, again, something that was leaked months ago by data miners.

We can expect the usual leaks from today’s 24.40 (3.90) Fortnite update including the June Crew skin, event leaks if there’ll be an event to conclude the season, cosmetic leaks, and the final set of quests being leaked.

We’ll be covering everything from today’s new Fortnite update over here, so be sure to head there during downtime.

Epic Games have teased the release of a Fortnite ranked game mode. Here’s everything we know so far including a release date.

With the new season of Fortnite just a few weeks away and with just one or two major updates left to be released before then, players have been wondering what’s in store for the game for the rest of the season.

Originally, players were expecting a first-person mode to release with the launch of chapter four season two. However, the leaks were incorrect and there’s still no new information regarding the highly sought-after game mode.

However, we’ve seen the release of UEFN which will only improve in the coming months, but players are always looking forward to the next major Fortnite release.

Epic Games decided to send the Fortnite player base into a frenzy with a teaser posted on social media that all but confirms a Fortnite ranked game mode will be coming soon.

Here’s what we know about the Fortnite ranked mode including a release date.

Fortnite Ranked Mode

Epic Games posted a short teaser video on social media which includes a number of different icons. The caption for the post is:

“A new way to grab the Victory Royale is coming… Will you rise through the ranks?”.

The tweet all but confirms a ranked mode will be coming to Fortnite Battle Royale. Some of the popular leaders are suggesting that this could be for a new driving mode that was leaked from the v24.30 files.

Based on the wording of the tweet, there’s a chance there could be a ranked Fortnite driving mode. Earning a Victory Royale in Fortnite is the same, regardless of whether it’s ranked on not.

That suggests the way the caption is worded points towards a Fortnite-ranked driving mode. There’s also a chance that the popular Arena mode could be getting an overhaul.

With Activision finding success with the Call of Duty ranked multiplayer and more recently, the Warzone ranked playlist, there’s a chance this is Epic’s response to those game modes.

For those curious, here are all the Ranks that were teased in the trailer:

Ranked Fortnite Mode Release Date

We’ve seen a handful of articles stating there’s no official release date for the Fortnite Ranked Mode or that it won’t be available until the new season.

However, based on the in-game news feed, the Fortnite ranked mode will release on May 16th, 2023. That falls on a Tuesday when the next major Fortnite update, v24.40, will release.

Here’s an image from the in-game news feed that confirms the Fortnite Ranked mode release date:

It’s unlikely Epic Games will change the release date of the Fortnite ranked mode, but if they do, we’ll update this article.

Let us know in the comments section below if you’re looking forward to seeing the ranked mode live in-game.

Epic Games have pushed out a brand new Fortnite update today, 3.89, on several platforms. Here are the patch notes.

Prior to last week’s v24.30 Fortnite update, we hadn’t had a major patch release for three weeks when the usual cycle of releases is every two weeks.

However, for most of the player base, the update was worth it. The much leaked Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration went live which includes new cosmetics, a rewards pass to earn cosmetics including Darth Maul, and the return of Star Wars items.

Lightsabers are back in the game along with the other weapons we’ve seen released in the past. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a pickaxe lightsaber, but players can pick up skins including Anakin Skywalker, Padme, and the 501st and 212th Stormtroopers.

The v24.30 Fortnite update also included force training that allows players to train in order to get abilities including sprinting faster and the ability to double jump while your lightsaber is equipped.

Players can also lift and throw objects from the environment and hurl them at players. If you accept Anakin Skywalker’s training, you’ll be able to pull objects and players towards you.

With last week’s update, players weren’t expecting to receive a notification to download the latest version of Fortnite, 3.89. Here’s what you need to know about the May 9th, 2023 update.

Fortnite Update 3.89 Patch Notes – 9th May 2023

Epic Games announced on the official Fortnite Status Twitter account that they released a maintenance Fortnite update (3.89) on May 9th, 2023.

The new update is available to download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Android.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing new that’s been added today, and the new release only addresses stability issues that have been plaguing the game for the past couple of weeks.

With the new season of Fortnite a month ago, Epic will release one or two more major updates before then with the next update scheduled for next Tuesday.

New leaks point towards a Goku Black Fortnite skin coming to the game. Here’s what we know.

Since their first collaboration back in Fortnite chapter 1 season 3, Epic Games has continued to build on their metaverse, especially in the last couple of years.

A handful of collaborations stretch beyond just having cosmetics available in the item shop. The most recent collaboration with Star Wars includes quests that provide players with free cosmetics.

There’s also a premium rewards track for the Star Wars collaboration that’s available for 1,000 V-Bucks that will provide access to Darth Maul and other cosmetics not available in the free rewards track.

We usually get a few collaborations each season, so we’re expecting a couple more before the end of the current season. As usual, data miners have provided some information for the next collaboration.

If leaks are correct, there will be another Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration. Here are the details we have so far.

Goku Black Fortnite

According to a reliable data miner and leaker, G Matrix Games, there are textures in the current Fortnite files for a Goku Black Fortnite skin.

The model is different from the current Son Goku outfit that was released with the first Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration.

It also looks like there’s a style for Goku Black that’s Super Saiyan Rosé. Along with the finding of the new skin, there’s a chance we could see a remodel of the original Goku skin, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Along with the new outfit, a Dual-Wield pickaxe will be released alongside an Emote and Wrap.

When is Goku Black Coming to Fortnite? Release Date

It’s likely that the Goku Black Fortnite skin and the Super Saiyan Rosé style will be available to purchase on Goku Day, which is on May 9th.

If that’s the case, we should get confirmation or a teaser posted by Epic Games before the release date.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite Star Wars “Find the Force” event including all the cosmetic rewards available.

Epic Games released a major Fortnite update today after three weeks, v24.30. We knew what to expect in today’s patch with Epic announcing a Star Wars x Fortnite event last week.

However, players weren’t aware of the extent of the latest collaboration with Star Wars. There are four new Star Wars skins along with other cosmetics available to purchase in bundles or individually.

There’s also a Find the Force Fortnite event tab. The tab explains the event, links to the quests, and provides a look at all of the cosmetic rewards that are available.

Here’s the list of current quests available along with all the cosmetics that are unlockable during Find the Force.

The Force Within Fortnite Quests

The Force Within is the first set of Star Wars-themed quests that are currently available to complete. Here’s a list of the quests:

• Land during Find the Force (5)
• Learn Force abilities at Rift Gates in different matches (3)
• Search a Republic chest (1)
• Hire a character (1)
• Damage an enemy player that is wielding a lightsaber or DC-15 Blaster (1)
• Destroy objects with Force abilities or a Star Wars weapon (50)
• Collect ammo at named locations (250)
• Launch Kinetic Ore with a Star Wars weapon (2)
• Travel distance on foot at night (500)
• Travel distance in vehicles (1,1338)
• Survive storm phases (25)
• Travel distance while sprinting (1,000)

What is Galactic Reputation in Fortnite?

Galactic Reputation was added as part of the Find the Force Fortnite Star Wars event. It provides players with the chance to unlock certain cosmetic rewards during the event.

In order to earn Galactic Reputation, players need to complete the challenges above.

Find the Force Fortnite Rewards

There are both free and premium rewards in the Find the Force event. The premium rewards pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks to unlock, but you’ll still need to earn Galactic Reupation in order to unlock them.

Here’s a look at all of the rewards including Darth Maul:

Upon completing all of the Find The Force quests, players will unlock the Light vs Dark loading screen.
