Month: September 2019

Grand Theft Auto V Online is celebrating another anniversary, and that means extra rewards if you play during the celebration period. Simply logging in by October 2 will net you $1 million in-game currency, to be deposited in your Maze Bank account by October 9. Another freebie is the Declasse Logo White Tee, yours for the taking by playing online.

If that isn’t enough, you can get double rewards on all Survival Series events through that period. This comes along with the release of seven new Survival challenges, like fighting off a Ballas attack on Grove Street or fighting Juggernauts in the Nuclear Bunker.

You can also score 2X GTA$ and RP on Mobile Operations missions. Meanwhile, Mobile Operation Centers will be 40% off so you can get it for a song. A variety of Declasse vehicles, Benny’s upgrades, and weapons are 40% off too.

This comes alongside some other regular rotational events. The Diamond Casino and Resort still offers a free daily spin, and the top prize this week is the roadster Declasse Mamba. The Casino Store is also offering a new refreshed selection of clothing and accessories.

And while you’re celebrating the anniversary, you can always get really drunk (in the game) and go on a secret mission to increase your inventory by retracing the steps of your drunken stupor (again, in the game).

Season 10 of Fortnite is almost over, but developer Epic Games still has a few more challenges for players to complete before Season 11 kicks off next month. Week 9’s set of challenges is called Bullseye, and as you can probably guess, most of the tasks revolve around hitting targets or taking precision shots. One challenge even literally asks you to land on different bullseyes. If you’re not sure where those can be found, fret not–we’ll show you where to go.

Where Are The Bullseye Locations?

There are three different bullseyes painted on the ground, and they’re all spread out around the island. Fortunately, so long as you dive in their general vicinity, the targets should be fairly easy to spot when you leap out of the Battle Bus. If you need help finding them, though, we’ve marked down all three bullseye locations on the map below.

• Northeast of Lucky Landing, at the edge of the desert
• At the edge of the snow biome directly north of Greasy Grove
• On the mountain southeast of Frosty Flights

How To Complete The Challenge

Once you know where the bullseyes are, all you need to do is make sure you land on them after you dive from the Battle Bus. You’ll need to land on all three of them to complete the challenge, so the quickest way is to touch down on a bullseye, get eliminated, then jump into another match and land on a different bullseye until you’ve been to all three. Do that and you’ll earn 10 Battle Stars and unlock another Week 9 challenge to complete.

Season 10 of Fortnite is set to end on October 6, so you have until then to complete any remaining challenges from this season. If you need help finishing any, we’ve rounded up all of our maps and guides for this season’s trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 10 challenges guide.

Week 9’s missions arrive in the midst of Fortnite’s Batman crossover event, which includes its own special set of challenges to complete. Those will be available until October 1, so you have until then to unlock some cool Batman-inspired cosmetics, like a Catwing glider.

After receiving a hotfix update last week, developer Gearbox has revealed that Borderlands 3 will receive a new patch later today that will address a variety of community concerns, including multiplayer problems, user interface issues, and more.

The new Borderlands 3 patch is scheduled to go live today by or before 3 PM PT / 5 PM CST / 6 PM ET / 11 PM BST for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A bulk of the patch is dedicated to the looter-shooter’s multiplayer and user interface, though the patch also targets performance and implements general fixes.

Some headlining changes center around multiplayer like audio troubles–such missing or quiet sounds when player two moves too far from player one in split-screen–and animation interruptions–including sprinting getting interrupted when other players open the ECHO menu in split-screen. Online multiplayer will also see some fixes, particularly relating to three-player squads having issues connecting to solo players.

Borderlands 3’s patch will also update the game’s user interface. Subtitles should now display after the initial cutscene, spending skill points will give off an audible flourish that previously failed to execute, Crazy Earl’s store has been modified, and more. PC players will notice a visual change with this new patch, too, as the focus from the mouse’s last known location should no longer hang around the screen even after plugging in and playing with a controller.

Some other changes come with Borderlands 3’s patch, including general improvements–like localizing special prompts–and performance updates–such as the game’s stability getting ironed out. Check out the full patch notes below.
