Month: August 2019

The Rumble Royale Mission released on August 1, 2019 as part of the Season 10 (Season X) launch. This Mission set contains seven challenges along with seven Prestige challenges, all of which take place in the Team Rumble game mode. Completing Rumble Royale Mission challenges will earn players rewards based on the number of challenges they complete.

Rewards will work a little bit differently in Fortnite Season 10 (Season X) and won’t be tied to a specific challenge. Instead, players will earn rewards based on the number of challenges they complete. For example, completing any one challenge might earn players an XP reward.

Below are a list of all of the Fortnite Season 10 Rumble Royale Mission challenge Rewards:

• 10 Battle Stars (1 Mission)
• 10 Battle Stars (2 Missions)
• 10 Battle Stars (3 Missions)
• 5,000 XP (4 Missions)
• 10 Battle Stars (5 Missions)
• 10 Battle Stars (6 Missions)
• Fang Saws Pickaxe (7 Missions)
• 1,000 XP (1 Prestige Mission)
• 1,000 XP (2 Prestige Missions)
• 1,000 XP (3 Prestige Missions)
• Rust Lord Emoticon (4 Prestige Missions)
• 1,000 XP (5 Prestige Missions)
• 1,000 XP (6 Prestige Missions)
• X-Lord Rust (7 Prestige Missions)

Below are all of the Fortnite Season 10 Rumble Royale Mission challenges. Clicking on a specific Mission will take you to a detailed description of how to complete it.

Play matches of Team Rumble with at least one elimination[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to play five matches of Team Rumble with at least one elimination.

This one is pretty straight forward. You’ll need to get an elimination in five separate Team Rumble matches to complete this challenge. Shouldn’t be too hard!

Win a match of Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to win three matches of Team Rumble.

Again, not much to say here. You’ll simply need to be on the winning side of three different Team Rumble matches and you’ll complete this challenge.

Assist teammates with eliminations in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to assist teammates with 20 eliminations in Team Rumble.

The important thing to note here is that you much assist teammates with eliminations. This means that in order to get credit for a kill, you’ll need to have dealt some damage.

On the other hand, this means that you’ll have to work with teammates to target a specific enemy, since you can’t get an assist by yourself.

Build structures with the X-Lord outfit in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to build 200 structures with the X-Lord outfit in Team Rumble.

The X-Lord outfit is available at Battle Pass Level 1, so as soon as you purchase the Battle Pass, you’ll have access to the outfit.

Simply make sure you’re wearing the X-Lord outfit, then cue up a game of Team Rumble. This challenge won’t take too long, since building is a natural part of the game. Build a total of 200 structures and you’ll be done with this Rumble Royale challenge.

Damage opponents in a single match of Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to deal a total of 500 damage to opponents in a single match.

This challenge is worded a bit weird and may cause some confusion. For this challenge, you don’t need to damage 500 opponents, but instead deal 500 damage to opponents in a single match.

Given the length of the Team Rumble matches, this likely won’t be very hard.

Eliminate opponents less than 5 m away in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to eliminate five opponents less than 5m away.

You’ll want to pull out your favorite close range weapon for this Rumble Royale challenge. Grab a Shotgun or SMG and get ready for some close range battle.

This challenge can be completed over the course of multiple games and will likely be easy to complete towards the end of Team Rumble when the circle gets really small.

Search Supply Drops in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to search five Supply Drops in Team Rumble.

Thankfully, in Team Rumble, Supply Drops are coming down from the sky at virtually any given moment. Just keep your eye on the sky while you’re playing and and search any Supply Drops that are close by. Doing this will ensure that you complete this challenge in no time.

Eliminate opponents in a single match of Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge players will need to eliminate three opponents in a single match of Team Rumble.

There isn’t much to say here, simply grab your gun of choice and get to shooting. You’ll likely be able to complete this first Prestige challenge pretty quick.

Eliminate opponents farther than 100m away in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to eliminate three opponents farther than 100m away in Team Rumble.

Similar to the regular version for this challenge, players will need to pull out their Snipers instead of their close range weapons. Find a good hiding spot and get ready for some long distance kills. This challenge can be completed over the course of multiple games, so if you don’t finish it in one match, no worries.

Assist teammates with eliminations in a single match of Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to assist teammates with five eliminations in a single match of Team Rumble.

As we stated earlier, the key here is to make sure that you play a hand in the elimination. If you see a teammate shooting at an opponent, join in and see if you can deal some damage. You’ll need to get all five kills in one game, so this could be a bit tricky.

Deal damage to different opponents without respawning in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge players will need to deal damage to three opponents without respawning in Team Rumble.

The key here is that you cannot respawn in this challenge. This means that you’ll need to deal damage to three different opponents without dying. If you die, it’s not a huge deal, you’ll just have to start this Rumble Royale challenge from the beginning.

Search Chests with the X-Lord outfit in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to search 20 Chests with the X-Lord outfit in Team Rumble.

The X-Lord outfit is available at Battle Pass Level 1, so once you purchase the Season 10 Battle Pass, you’ll have access to the Outfit.

Simply make sure you have it equipped and then start hunting for Chests! This should be one of the easier Rumble Royale challenges to complete.

Headshot damage in Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to get a total of 1,000 headshot damage in Team Rumble.

Lots of players already aim for their opponents head in the first place, so this should be common practice for most. If you see the damage points in yellow, you’ll know you got a headshot. Just keep aiming for the head until you’ve totaled 1,000 damage. If you don’t normally aim for the head, then this is a good time to practice.

Search Supply Drops in a single match of Team Rumble[edit]

To complete this challenge, players will need to search three Supply Drops in a single match of Team Rumble.

Much like the regular version of this challenge, players will need to search Supply Drops. The only difference here is that they must be searched in a single match. Keep your eye on the sky as you’re playing and this won’t be too hard.

Video game retail chain GameStop has reportedly laid off over 50 regional leaders in an effort to restructure the organization following a failure to sell the company.An email from GameStop corporate headquarters sent to store managers was leaked on Twitter that seemingly confirmed the layoffs. Over 50 regional district field leaders, human resource, and loss prevention leaders were affected by the layoffs.

The email says that the layoffs are a result of a new “realignment” strategy. “This realignment results in an expanded size of GameStop’s regions and districts, therefore reducing the number of field leaders required to run the organization,” the GameStop email says.

“Unfortunately, with these changes, there are more than 50 field leaders who have been impacted and will be leaving the GameStop team. This includes regional, district, HR, and LP leaders. These leaders will be missed and we wish them success in their future endeavors.”

In January, GameStop leadership ceased its attempt to find a buyer for the company. The company also posted a nearly half a billion dollars worth of losses last year. The retailer relies heavily on physical video game sale, but as the most recent financial reports indicate, digital sales of games are overtaking physical sales for companies like PlayStation and EA.

GameStop’s decision to layoff regional leaders and consolidate regions into larger zones appears to be a cost-cutting measure. The company is also in the process of dedesigning its stores into “unique experiences,” with a focus on live events and retro games.

IGN has reached out to GameStop for more details about the reported layoffs but have not heard back in time of publishing this story.

July was a busy month for Twitch Prime, which is included with any Amazon Prime subscription, as Prime Day 2019 ran for a full 48 hours this year and spawned a huge number of counter-sales in the weeks leading up to it and afterward from retailers trying to compete. Now that August is finally here, the sales are starting to calm down in preparation for fall deals and the holiday season, but in the meantime, Twitch Prime continues to offer regular perks in the form of free monthly games and various in-game loot. This months’ free games are available now through September 3–check out the offerings below.

The most notable freebie this month is Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, which is the 2017 remake of the 1989 Sega Master System title with new, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack. It’s a Metroidvania-style game where you play as a young adventurer-turned-lizardman who gradually gains more abilities and forms as you explore. The game earned a solid 8/10 in GameSpot’s Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap review.

“Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap shines as one of the best retro remakes yet. It knows not to tamper too much with the enjoyable, exploration-driven gameplay that made the original so good, instead focusing on updating the presentation to reintroduce the game to a new generation of players,” wrote Heidi Kemps. “While it’s a bit on the short side–you can probably beat it over the course of a lazy Saturday–its small world is packed with personality.”

While we haven’t reviewed the other games Twitch Prime is offering this month, they’re free, so you might as well grab them if they sound interesting. Pumped BMX Pro is an arcade racing game where you pull off bicycle stunts and trick combinations in side-scrolling, platform-style levels. Then there’s Mable and the Wood, another Metroidvania-style game where you can hunt down beasts and take their form, granting you power to either save or destroy the world. Finally, you can claim Automachef, a resource-management game where you design kitchens, program machinery, and literally put out fires.

Free games are cool, but some of Twitch Prime’s other benefits are even more appealing, like the free 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online and free skins, outfits, emotes, and more for games like Apex Legends, Red Dead Online, League of Legends, and Grand Theft Auto Online. You can check out all those offers over at Twitch.

As a reminder, to claim these free games and loot from Twitch Prime, you just have to make sure your Twitch account is linked to your Amazon Prime account. And if you’re not already subscribed to Prime, which gets you plenty of other perks like free two-day shipping, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial anytime. After the trial ends, Prime membership costs $119 / £79 a year.

There’s a lot happening in Destiny 2 right now. A major update and event just launched, and Bungie revealed that it’s pushing back the release of its Shadowkeep expansion. With the DLC and the accompanying New Light free-to-play version of the game now launching later than expected, Bungie has altered its upcoming schedule and revealed some of the changes on the way, including a few that seem to directly address fan feedback.

Along with a few new Shadowkeep screenshots, Bungie’s latest blog post outlines what the next two months or so will look like for Destiny 2 now that Shadowkeep won’t arrive until October 1. Moments of Triumph have been extended and will run until September 17. The just-launched Solstice of Heroes, however, will still end as previously scheduled on August 27. On the bright side, we’re getting two more Iron Banner events, one starting on August 27 and another on September 17. There will also be some Valor and Infamy boosts between now and Shadowkeep. The updated scheduled follows below.

Destiny 2 Season Of Opulence Updated Schedule

• Solstice of Heroes — 7/30 – 8/27
• Iron Banner — 8/27 – 9/3
• Destiny 2 Update 2.5.2.2 — 9/3
• Moments of Triumph Week, Infamy Boost — 9/10 – 9/17
• Iron Banner — 9/17 – 9/24
• Mayhem, Valor Boost, Infamy Boost — 9/24 – 10/1

Another major item in there is the 2.5.2.2 update. While we’ll have to wait until closer to release for the full patch notes, Bungie did provide a preliminary look at what to expect from it. Many of these changes deal with player feedback and complaints about particularly grind-heavy aspects of the game. For instance, weapon reward rates for Gambit Prime and Reckoning will be “highly increased,” with the addition of bad-luck protection that ensures you’re guaranteed drops after completing an unspecified number of runs. Reckoning’s difficulty is also being adjusted, which is great news for those who have grown frustrated with failed runs that yield no rewards.

Other aspects of the update of note include changes to the pinnacle quests to earn the Mountaintop grenade launcher and Wendigo GL3 grenade launcher. Bungie simply says the corresponding quests “will become more accessible,” with specific objectives being “tuned based on player feedback.” Wendigo currently requires an intense amount of grenade launcher usage in Strikes, while the same is true for earning Mountaintop in Crucible’s Competitive playlist.

And while the Menagerie chest glitch has long since been closed, Bungie says, “As the season comes to a close, Menagerie chests will become more rewarding as Calus sees fit.” Again, no specifics are shared, but it sounds as if you might again be able to earn more than one drop per run, though given the wording, it’s unclear if this is only a temporary change.

And although it’s not mentioned in this blog post, Destiny 2 cross-save is launching at some point in August, according to a tweet from lead producer Jared Berbach. An exact date has not been shared.

Destiny 2 Update 2.5.2.2 Early Patch Notes

• Moments of Triumph has been extended through 9/17.
• Gambit Prime and Reckoning weapon reward rates will be highly increased.
  • They will also have bad-luck protection to guarantee a drop after a set amount of runs.
• Reckoning difficulty will be tuned to be more welcoming as you hunt for rewards.
• BrayTech Schematics will no longer have a daily lockout and will give better chances toward weapons that players do not own.
• Mountaintop and Wendigo GL3 pinnacle quests will become more accessible.
  • Specific quest objectives will be tuned based on player feedback
• There will be multiple weeks of increased Valor and Infamy to look forward to in September.
  • Iron Banner will be accompanied by increased Valor in each event.
• As the season comes to a close, Menagerie chests will become more rewarding as Calus sees fit.
• On the week of Destiny 2 Update 2.5.2.2, we’ll be hosting a Community Challenge of sorts. Stay tuned for more details.

With Shang Tsung getting unleashed and Sindel’s new look being unveiled, Mortal Kombat 11 continues to receive more content additions and updates since its April 2019 release. NetherRealm’s latest fighting game will see another fighter join its ever-increasing roster soon. Nightwolf enters the fray, bringing with him ephemeral animals and vicious tomahawk attacks.

Nightwolf looks to retain a lot of his signature style from previous Mortal Kombat games, including the ability to use lightning. He can also use animal spirits to enhance his abilities, effectively changing his stance and slightly altering his moveset depending on the animal selected. The bear gives more defense while the wolf seems to increase attack speed, providing a strategic element while in battle. Check out the gameplay reveal trailer below.

Nightwolf is part of the Kombat Pack, a set of DLC that includes six additional fighters, alternative skins, new gear sets, and more. While the final two characters have yet to be announced, Nightwolf, Spawn, Shang Tsung, and Sindel are already available as part of the Kombat Pack. The Kombat Pack retails for $40 USD / $59 AUD / £33 GBP, with Nightwolf being downloadable starting Friday, August 13 if you own it. Everyone else will be able to download the character starting Friday, August 20.

Another fan-favorite Legendary has returned once again in Pokemon Go. Rayquaza, the Legendary cover monster from Pokemon Emerald, is making an encore appearance in the popular mobile game for a limited time. Not only does this mark its first stint in Raid Battles since this past March, you’ll have your first chance to catch a Shiny Rayquaza. If you’d like to add one to your collection before it leaves the game again, here are some tips on how to catch Rayquaza.

How To Catch Rayquaza

For the next several weeks, Rayquaza will appear as a boss in five-star Raid Battles. If you find a nearby Rayquaza Raid, you’ll need to head to the Gym where the Raid is taking place and challenge it. You’ll need to have a Raid Pass in order to participate in the Raid, but you can receive one for free when you spin the Photo Disc at a Gym.

To earn an opportunity to capture Rayquaza, you’ll first need to battle it. Rayquaza and other Legendary Pokemon are quite powerful, so you’ll need to team up with other players in-person if you hope to defeat it. Rayquaza is a dual Dragon/Flying Pokemon, which means it has a 4x weakness to Ice-type Pokemon such as Mamoswine, Weavile, and Glaceon–they’ll be your best bet. Fairy, Rock, and other Dragon Pokemon will also be effective against it.

If you manage to defeat Rayquaza, you’ll receive a handful of Premier Balls among other rewards; you’ll need to use these Premier Balls to capture it. Study Rayquaza’s movement pattern before your throws to ensure you have the best chance of snagging it. Feeding it a Golden Razz Berry will also make it a little easier to capture.

How To Find Shiny Rayquaza

Shiny Pokemon are fairly rare in Pokemon Go, so there’s no sure-fire way to ensure you find a Shiny Rayquaza. That means you’ll need to participate in as many Rayquaza Raids as possible if you’re hoping to add a Shiny one to your collection. Fortunately, you’ll know for sure if you’ve encountered one; if the Pokemon has black scales instead of green ones, then you’ve found yourself a Shiny. Follow the steps outlined above to add it to your collection and make other trainers envious.

How Long Will Rayquaza Be Available?

Each Legendary in Pokemon Go typically hangs around for about a month, and that holds true for Rayquaza. The Sky High Pokemon will appear in Raids from July 31 to 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST on September 2, when it will be replaced by a different Legendary, so you have until then to capture as many as you can.

A new trailer for My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising has been released. Though most of the trailer reuses scenes from MHA: Season 3, there are some new clips. The trailer can be watched in the tweet embedded below.

The trailer begins with our first look at Nine, the villain of the movie. We know almost nothing about Nine–even his abilities are still unknown–but he seems to be connected to All for One, one of the biggest bads in MHA, as he dresses just like All Might’s archenemy, even adopting similar headgear. The end of the trailer sees a badly injured Midoriya and Bakugo once again temporarily putting aside their differences and teaming-up, presumably to take on Nine.

Heroes Rising is the second MHA movie, following Two Heroes, and is being advertised as the final chapter of the superhero story, as it incorporates elements from how MHA’s creator originally wanted the manga to end. Whether Heroes Rising remains MHA’s finale remains to be seen, though. The movie will be released in Japan on December 20 with an international release presumably scheduled for 2020.

In My Hero Academia, Midoriya is one of the few powerless humans born in a world where superpowers are the norm. Wanting to be a hero, despite his lack of superpowers, Midoriya strives to get into the high school where All Might, his idol and the number one hero in the world, attended. After being impressed by Midoriya’s heroic potential, All Might lets the young boy in on a secret: his super strength and speed actually come from a power that can be passed from one person to the next. Midoriya is chosen as All Might’s successor, but his sudden strength irks Bakugo–a boy born with the ability to sweat and detonate nitroglycerin in his palms–who’s always strived to be the world’s next number one hero and now, for the first time, must acknowledge that the peer he’s been bullying for years might actually be stronger than him.

Two Heroes acts as a bridge between Season 2 and Season 3 of the MHA anime series. The movie sees All Might taking Midoriya to the US to see an old friend of his, David Shield, who’s an inventor that created All Might’s original hero suits. While visiting, Midoriya befriends David’s daughter, Melissa, who’s also exceptionally intelligent and seeks to help others by building support devices for heroes. Midoriya’s vacation is cut short, however, when a metal-controlling villain attacks and captures All Might, forcing the young aspiring hero to work together with Melissa and other members of his high school class in order to save the day. Though originally a one-off character, Melissa reunites with Midoriya in My Hero Academia: Team Up Mission, a brand-new manga that acts as a bridge between Seasons 3 and 4 of the anime.

Season X of Fortnite has officially arrived, and a lot has changed in Epic’s popular battle royale game. Not only are there new areas of the map to explore, there’s also a new Battle Pass to purchase, which gives holders access to an assortment of new challenges to complete and cosmetic rewards to unlock.

This time around, however, the challenges work a little differently than in past seasons. Previously, Epic offered new missions to complete on a weekly basis, some of which were available to everyone, even if they didn’t own a Battle Pass. Season X does away with these free missions. Now, most of the challenges are gated behind the pass, so you’ll need to pick one up if you’re hoping to get the most out of the new season.

The challenges are also no longer doled out weekly; rather, they’re now grouped into different themed sets. Three challenges are available from the outset, with additional ones unlocking as you complete them. The first themed set is called Road Trip, and it features a couple of tasks that may give you some trouble if you’re not too familiar with the island, such as one that asks you to destroy stop signs with the Catalyst outfit. If you don’t know where those are, we’ve put together this guide to point you in the right direction.

Where Are The Stop Sign Locations?

The stop signs that you need to destroy are scattered all around the island. You need to vandalize a total of 10 in order to complete this challenge. Fortunately, you don’t need to destroy all 10 within a single match, so you can jump into a game, visit an area where a few of the signs are bunched together, then get eliminated and repeat the process until you’ve completed the challenge.

The most stop signs can be found in Pleasant Park, which is home to 10 of them, so you can potentially clear this challenge in one go if you land there–although it will surely be a hotbed, as other players will be looking to complete this challenge as well. If you’d prefer to avoid the crowd, you can find three stop signs scattered around Salty Springs, and another two by Mega Mall. We’ve also found at least two stop signs around Paradise Palms, so you have plenty of options to choose from. You can see some locations in the tweet below.

How To Complete The Challenge

As the challenge name states, it isn’t enough to simply destroy the stop signs; you need to be doing so while wearing the Catalyst skin, which is unlocked at the first tier of the Season X Battle Pass. Equip the skin, then located some signs and destroy them using either your Harvesting Tool or any weapons you’re able to pick up during the round. Once you finally manage to break all 10 stop signs, you’ll complete the challenge and earn 10 Battle Stars.

Season X has only just begun, and much has changed in the game. Be sure to check out our Fortnite Season X hub, where you can find more details about what’s new this season, from all of the new unlockable skins and cosmetics to the Season 10 patch notes.
