Week 5 challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale are live, presenting Season 4 Battle Pass owners with another set of seven objectives to complete. These include some fairly routine objectives, while a trickier one involves tracking down a Greasy Grove treasure map. More importantly, you’ll need the cooperation of other players to do some dancing. And a bug involving the LMG/minigun challenge has been resolved.

First up is the Hard-difficulty challenge to follow the treasure map found in Greasy Grove. You can head to Greasy Grove and track down the map to start this; alternatively, as with past instances of this type of challenge, you can actually head right to where the treasure itself awaits. This one is a bit trickier to find than most–it’s on the outside wall of a structure just northeast of Snobby Shores. Simply land on the slanted roof or build your way up and you’ll be able to collect the Battle Pass icon.

What isn’t labeled as Hard but could be quite difficult is the challenge asking you to dance with others to raise the Disco Ball near Loot Lake. The ball itself is found in the northernmost of the three buildings that line the western shoreline of the lake. Enter the ground floor and you’ll see the disco ball in the middle, surrounded by a dance floor in all four corners of the room. You’ll need to coordinate with other players to all dance on these simultaneously; the process takes a few seconds as the disco ball rises up toward the ceiling. It’s possible to do this with other random players, but your easiest bet will be to squad up with three friends and head there together.

Week 5 also tasks you to use a vending machine three times. This is relatively straightforward, but if you haven’t used a vending machine before, you might be at a loss. Vending machines allow you to exchange crafting materials for items; they’re located in fixed spots, but they don’t always appear in every match. You can consult our vending machine location guide to find likely spots for these to pop up, but make sure to come with wood, stone, or metal–the cost of using the machine may be high depending on the rarity.

Racking up two eliminations with the minigun or light machine gun sounds straightforward enough, though it of course requires you to happen upon one of the two weapons. This is labeled as a Hard-difficulty challenge. (This launched with a bug that Epic Games says it has fixed.) You’ll likely want to try doing this in a Solo playlist so that you don’t have to worry about a downed enemy being revived.

The same advice holds true for the challenge asking you to eliminate three opponents in Lucky Landing–not having respawns should make this easier. The remaining objectives simply ask you to deal 500 damage with SMGs to opponents (anything in the SMG family will do) and to search seven chests in Dusty Divot, the meteor impact site added as part of the big Season 4 update.

Completing these challenges will reward you with Battle Stars, which rank up your Battle Pass and allow you to earn Season 4 skins and cosmetic rewards. Completing all of the challenges in a given week also completes a Blockbuster challenge, which entitles you to a new loading screen that directs you to spots where you can obtain a free Battle Pass tier. You can see how to complete every Season 4 objective released so far in our Fortnite challenges guide.

E3 2018 is almost upon us. The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest event of the year in terms of announcements. Video game companies have increasingly begun to share news in the weeks ahead of E3 itself, and that’s certainly proven to be the case this year–Battlefield V, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Rage 2, and Fallout 76 have already been announced. Still, there’s plenty more to look forward to, both in terms of further specifics about those games–like just what is Fallout 76?–and others still to be revealed.

But in terms of E3 itself, we’ve got a complete rundown on everything you need to know. From the games and companies we know will be there to the press conference schedule and details on the event, you’ll find all of the key information about E3 2018. Be sure to stay tuned to GameSpot in the lead-up and through the event for full coverage.

When And Where Is E3?

E3 officially begins on Tuesday, June 12, and runs through Thursday, June 14. That’s when the show floor is actually open at the Los Angeles Convention Center, as game companies set up booths and demo their games to press, members of the industry, and–in a much more recent move–a select number of public attendees.

While E3 itself lasts only three days, things unofficially begin much sooner. Electronic Arts has branched off from E3 and now hosts its own event, EA Play, the weekend prior. That begins on Saturday, June 9, while other companies–including Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Bethesda, and Ubisoft–will host their own press conference in the days before E3 begins.

When Are The Press Conferences?

EA Play kicks things off, serving as both a mini E3 dedicated to Electronic Arts’ games and playing host to the publisher’s annual press conference. That happens on June 9. On June 10, we’ll get press conferences from Microsoft, Bethesda, and Devolver Digital. June 11 will see Square Enix (new to hosting its own press conference), Ubisoft, and Sony take their turns, in addition to the PC Gaming Show, which is a slightly different sort of beast. Nintendo rounds things out with its online broadcast on June 12, the same day E3 begins.

How Do I Watch The Press Conferences?

Why, right here on GameSpot, of course! We’ll be streaming the press conferences live, followed by reactions from our staff. Additionally, we’ll have a livestream filled with developer interviews and game demos throughout the week. Meanwhile, Nintendo will follow its Direct-style press conference with its typical Treehouse stream that showcases games coming to its platforms. The PC Gaming Show will stream on platforms like Twitch.

What Companies Are At E3?

A huge number of developers and publishers, both big and small, will be in attendance at E3. Of course, just being there doesn’t mean they have something to announce or show, although Witcher fans are nonetheless hoping CD Projekt Red is there to showcase Cyberpunk 2077, not just take meetings.

What Games Are At E3?

Similarly, there are tons of games at E3 that we already know about. That includes big-name ones like Fallout 76, Death Stranding, Super Smash Bros. for Switch, and Battlefield V, along with updates and DLC for existing games like Destiny 2 (the fall DLC/update for which is set to be shown). There’s also sure to be a lot of as-of-yet unannounced games there.

What Are The Big E3 Rumors?

Speaking of which, rumors and leaks have already spoiled some pre-E3 announcements, including Rage 2 and Lego DC Super-Villains. There are plenty of other rumors circling ahead of E3 for games that–assuming they’re real–we won’t hear about until the companies’ respective press conferences, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Just Cause 4, and Forza Horizon 4. There’s also word that Fallout 76, which appears to be a pretty standard Bethesda RPG, will have online survival elements.

What Do We Want To See?

Like you, we’ve got a long wishlist of things we’re hoping to see at E3 2018. That includes specific details and features in games that we both know will be there (Rage 2, Death Stranding, Spider-Man) and those we do not (a new Splinter Cell, Borderlands 3, Just Cause 4). We’ve compiled what we know about these projects and what we’re hoping to see at the event.

Is E3 Open To The Public?

Unlike most of E3’s history, yes, E3 is now open to the public, but you can’t just show up and get in. Tickets for the Gamer Pass are up for sale for $249, though you should be prepared for long lines to get into see most things on the show floor. Hours for when you can get in are different than in 2017, as Industry Pass holders (including exhibitors and members of the media) will get in before everyone else on Tuesday and Wednesday.

What Does E3 Stand For?

It’s a seemingly silly question, but given how often the term “E3” is used, it’s easy to never consider what it actually stands for. E3 is short for Electronic Entertainment Expo, although as the show has evolved, the name has changed slightly at times over the years.

The Dragon Ball FighterZ roster continues to grow, as two more DLC characters have arrived for the Dragon Ball fighting game. Fused Zamasu and Super Saiyan Blue Vegito are both now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and they can be purchased either individually or as part of the Dragon Ball FighterZ season pass.

Both Fused Zamasu and Super Saiyan Blue Vegito are fused warriors who appear in Dragon Ball Super. Fused Zamasu is one of the series’ major antagonists and is the resulting fusion of Goku Black and the evil Supreme Kai Zamasu. In contrast to other characters on the roster, some of his special attacks give him the ability to fly freely through the air.

Vegito, meanwhile, is the fused form of Goku and Vegeta. His special, the Final Kamehameha, is a combination of Vegeta’s Final Flash and Goku’s signature Kamehamha. He’s also a very brash and confident fighter, which is reflected in his moveset; in his reveal trailer, he can be seen casually throwing kicks with his arms crossed. You can see both characters in action in the trailer below.

Like the first pair of DLC characters for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Broly and Bardock, Fused Zamasu and Vegito can be downloaded individually for $5 / £4 / $7.55 AU apiece. Those who’ve purchased the game’s season pass, meanwhile, will receive both fighters at no additional charge. As before, each character also comes with his own Lobby avatar and Z Stamp.

The Dragon Ball FighterZ season pass runs for $35 US / £22 / $40.95 AU. It gives players access to eight DLC characters upon their release. Thus far, four additional characters have been revealed, leaving another four unannounced fighters still on the way for the game, although publisher Bandai Namco hasn’t hinted when they’ll arrive.

We’re in the run up to E3 2018, and many companies have already outlined their plans for this year’s show. The expo formally begins on Tuesday, June 12, but a number of major publishers will host their own press conferences in the days leading up to the event. Microsoft’s briefing is scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 10, although this year’s showing will be much different than in past years.

Instead of having a presence inside the Los Angeles Convention Center, where E3 is traditionally held, Microsoft has announced it will move to the nearby Microsoft Theater in LA Live. According to the publisher, this move allows it to have its “biggest E3 showing ever,” as it will be able to host the bulk of its efforts in a single venue. It won’t be entirely absent from the convention center however, as there will still be a traditional booth for its streaming service, Mixer, on the show floor.

Moving to the Microsoft Theater also allows the publisher to host more fans at its Xbox FanFest events than it could have in the past. “Not only does the Microsoft Theater allow us to centralize our Xbox presence at E3, but its size enables us to include even more fans and partners in the Xbox E3 2018 Briefing than ever before,” said Microsoft’s corporate VP Mike Nichols.

“These changes–expanding our presence, multiple venues, taking over the Microsoft Theater–give us the opportunity to bring together a variety of Xbox experiences into one primary location and, most importantly, let fans in on what we’re up to in 2018 and beyond in a fresh new way.”

Microsoft’s press conference kicks off at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST (6 AM AET on June 11). Xbox boss Phil Spencer has promised there will be “positive changes” for the company at this year’s E3, although just what those could be remains to be seen. Likewise, we won’t know what games the publisher plans to show off until its press conference rolls around, as Microsoft has remained tight-lipped about its E3 lineup. Despite this, a number of Xbox One games have been confirmed for the expo.

You’ll have a variety of options for watching Microsoft’s E3 2018 briefing. The broadcast will air online on the company’s Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer channels. GameSpot will also host a stream of the conference, so you can tune in right here to see all of Microsoft’s announcements. Additionally, Xbox One owners can watch the briefing on their console using the Mixer app.

June is upon us, which can only mean one thing: It’s time for E3. We’ll soon be inundated with countless game announcements, trailers, and demos, including what’s sure to be some nice surprises–assuming they don’t all get leaked first. But what does E3 itself stand for?

E3 is a ubiquitous term for the industry’s biggest gaming event, but it’s merely a shorthand for its full name: the Electronic Entertainment Expo. E3 has been around for more than two decades now, dating back to 1995. It’s evolved significantly over the years, and in the mid-2000s actually changed its name and format pretty dramatically. The E3 Media and Business Summit was held in 2007 and 2008 as a more stripped-down show that limited the number of attendees.

More recently, E3 has expanded to even open its doors partially to the public. It’s still primarily an industry- and media-focused event, but game publishers are increasingly interested in using the money and effort it pumps into its E3 showings to go directly to fans. Recent years have also seen the event unofficially extended; while E3 itself lasts only three days, it’s closer to a week-long affair thanks to the press conferences that come before it and EA Play, which takes place on the Saturday before E3.

You can check out the video above for a more in-depth look at the history of E3. If you’re more interested in what’s going on this year, we’ve rounded up all of the key information about E3 2018. That includes a press conference schedule, rumors, and games confirmed at the show. There’s still sure to be a lot we don’t know about, so stay tuned to GameSpot for complete coverage.
