Watch Out, Amazon Prime Day: Walmart Is Coming For You

You’ve probably heard by now, but Amazon Prime Day 2019 is next week–July 15 and 16, to be precise, with some early deals already live. Over the past several years, Amazon has grown rapidly to dominate the online shopping industry, but its members-only Prime Day event is now facing quite a bit of competition as other retailers continue to announce their own sales scheduled for the same days. Now, Walmart is stepping into the ring with its own sale on thousands of products, including games, consoles, and accessories.

Walmart’s Summer Savings event will kick off on Sunday, July 14 (with some gaming deals going live early on July 12) and run through Wednesday, July 17. Naturally, the retailer is emphasizing the fact that no membership is needed to claim these deals, and orders over $35 will receive free two-day or next-day shipping (depending on eligibility and your location).

Specific discounts for Walmart’s upcoming sale haven’t been revealed yet, but we know the deals will include new Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch games; retro arcade machines; gaming accessories; and more. Walmart’s first major gaming deal actually went live on July 7: an Xbox One S bundle with a bonus game, controller, and headset for $300 (was $450). Unfortunately, that deal is already sold out, but bookmark that page if you’re interested, as it’ll likely go back in stock eventually.

As soon as Walmart’s Summer Savings event kicks off, we’ll update you on all the best gaming deals available. In the meantime, catch up on the latest Prime Day 2019 info and stay tuned to GameSpot as more deals roll in through this week and next. Twitch Prime, which is included with any Amazon Prime membership, is offering free PC games, free Apex Legends skins, and other free loot for games including Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and Grand Theft Auto 5 Online in celebration of Prime Day. GameStop’s Summer Sale, which also overlaps with Prime Day, is in full swing already and includes major discounts on games like Kingdom Hearts 3, The Division 2, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (all of which are currently $20). Plus, other retailers, like Target and Ebay, are planning major sales of their own.

Fortnite Grills Location Guide: Where To Destroy Grills

We’ve reached Day 14 of Fortnite‘s ongoing 14 Days of Summer event, which means the final daily challenge is now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. For the last mission, you’ll need to destroy seven grills with the Low ‘n Slow harvesting tool, which is unlocked by completing a previous challenge that asks you to launch fireworks along the river (we show you where those can be found in our fireworks locations video guide).

Like many of the other 14 Days of Summer challenges, this mission seems straightforward on the face of it, but you may have some difficultly completing it if you don’t know where the grills are located. Fortunately, there are plenty around the map, so you should be able to complete the challenge fairly quickly once you know where to look. If you need some help finding them, we’ve put together this map and guide to show you where the grills are located.

Where Are All The Grill Locations?

As previously mentioned, you need to destroy a total of seven grills in order to complete this challenge. You don’t need to vandalize all of them within a single match, although you’ll likely be able to destroy a few per round, as many are located fairly close together on the map. We’ve found at least 17 different grills scattered around the island, so there are plenty of options to choose from. The most are located within Paradise Palms and the surrounding desert, but you’ll likely run into a ton of other players looking to complete the same challenge there, so we’d recommend heading to the grills in Snobby Shores instead.

Another thing to keep in mind as you attempt this challenge is that you can revisit the same grills in different matches and they’ll still count toward your progression when destroyed, which should make it much easier to complete to complete the mission. We’ve marked the locations of all the grills we found around the island on the map below.

How To Destroy Grills

Before you can attempt this challenge, you’ll need to have unlocked the Low ‘n Slow harvesting tool, which you’ll receive after completing the challenge to launch three fireworks found along the river bank. Once you’ve unlocked the tool, be sure to equip it before jumping into a match. Then, completing the challenge will simply be a matter of locating grills and smacking them until they’re destroyed. You can watch us complete the challenge in the video at the top of this guide.

Grills Challenge Reward

Once you’ve destroyed all seven grills, you’ll unlock the Griller banner for your troubles, which you can then use as a profile icon. More importantly, if you’ve been keeping up with all the 14 Days of Summer challenges to date, then you’ll be able to unlock a special reward: the Smoothie back bling. If you have outstanding challenges to complete, however, you still have time to do so; while there will be no more new daily challenges, the 14 Days of Summer event will run until July 16, giving you a few more days to wrap up any tasks you might not have completed yet. You can see the full list of challenges, along with links to our guides on the trickier ones, below.

The Top-Selling 3rd Party Console Games of All Time

If you guessed GTA V and any of several Call of Duty’s would dominate the lists of top-selling third-party games of all time, you’d be right. But how do they all stack up to one another, across all platforms through over 20 years?

Well, Mat Piscatella of the NPD Group compiled the top 10 best-selling third-party published games on all Nintendo platforms combined since NPD began tracking this data back in 1995. Piscatella also provided IGN with data for the top 10 third-party games (through May 2019) on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as across all platforms. Ranking of the best-selling games for each platform is based on total dollar sales.
