Fortnite is heading into it’s Week 5 challenges with the brand new Meowscles’ Mischief. As a reminder, players need to purchase the Battle Pass in order to decide whether the Meowscles skin sides with Ghost or Shadow.

Whether or not players have the Fortnite Battle Pass does not affect the number of experience points gamers will gain after completing these challenges....

Fortnite developer Epic Games has found itself in deep water after pursuing legal action against two cheaters in its game. As it turns out, one of the cheaters is actually a 14-year-old boy and that boy’s mother is looking to fight back. In early October, Epic Games filed civil complaints against two Fortnite cheaters for allegedly using an aimbot service to gain an unfair advantage in the battle royale game. While Epic Games could have easily just banned these players, the developer alleges that the two individuals did more than just use the paid cheating software, but also offered support for the service and helped stream snipe popular Twitch broadcasters....

As the protectors of not only their people’s lives, but their livelihoods, the samurai clans of Ghost of Tsushima could have spent much of their time in the game being close allies for the Ghost and the rebellion forces. Unfortunately, the majority of the clans were wiped out in the initial invasion on Komoda Beach, leaving very few members left alive by the game’s end. While this makes the rebellion that much harder for all those left alive, it does mean that it’s easier to associate each clan with their particular zodiac sign, since the ones who are left alive all have vastly different personalities and character traits that make them stand out from the crowd....
