One of the last challenges you’ll complete in Fortnite for Week 5, Season 14 tasks you to visit different restaurant kitchens. You have to visit two of them to complete this challenge, but it comes at the end of a sequence before you’re actually able to count any progress you’ve made. Here’s how to do it.
First off, prior to trying this challenge, ensure you’ve done the other three steps. You’ll need to collect cookbooks, harvest eight fruits or vegetables–which can be done quickly at the Orchard northeast of the Coliseum–and then collect 150 gold bars. For collecting the 150 gold bars, just complete a bounty, as the one we completed rewarded us with 200.
Restaurant Kitchen Locations
Once that’s done, you have a few different options for visiting kitchens, including:
Sticks, at Craggy Cliffs
Butter Barn, southeast of the Zero Point
Pizza Pit, northeast of Collassal Coliseum
Durrr Burger, southeast of Holly Hedges
Choose any two of these
As you can see from the way they’re arranged on the map, the two locations in the northern section of the map–Pizza Pit and Sticks–are the closest together. Land near one of them, walk into the kitchen, and then head for the other one, doing the same when you get there. Once you have completed that, the challenge is done.
Pizza Pit
As you can see in the image above, Pizza Pit is separate from the other landmarks around it, but its giant pepperoni-covered roof make it impossible to miss. You can also spot it super easily from the air, making this a good starting point.
Sticks
Sticks is the centerpiece of Craggy Cliffs. It isn’t quite as obvious to spot from the air, but you should find it almost immediately once you’ve arrived in town.
You’ll get 40,000 XP for completing this challenge, as you will with the other Fortnite challenges in Week 14. This is up double from typical weeks, so you won’t want to miss out on completing them.
Hitman 3’s ‘A Death in the Family’ mission is a Hitman level like no other, allowing the player the opportunity to take on the role of a master detective, collect clues and alibis, and solve a locked room murder mystery with multiple possible outcomes.
In the video above, Hitman 3 level designers Toke Krainert and Victor Rasmussen break down the development of the game’s unforgettable Dartmoor mission and how they reworked familiar Hitman mechanics to allow players to catch a killer.
From initial conception to their favourite secrets, Toke and Victor detail the challenges and opportunities that come with crafting a compelling murder mystery narrative, as well as how the foreboding Thornbridge Manor was designed.
Sony Pictures and XR Games have announced a new virtual reality game based on the Zombieland movies. Called Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever, the upcoming VR game will launch for Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets in Spring 2021. The game will be released later for PlayStation VR.
“With this VR game, we’re bringing the zombie apocalypse right to you in a totally new way while preserving the humor and wit of the hit movie franchise,” Sony Pictures Entertainment SVP Jake Zim said. “Now Zombieland fans can feel what it’s like to stare down an onslaught of Zombie hordes and make split-second gameplay decisions in order to blast their way to survival.”
XR Games founder and CEO Bobby Thandi added, “The Zombieland world is a no-nonsense kind of place, and to this end, we’ve made one of the purest shooting games for VR. We handcrafted the content, upping replayability and incorporating mechanics from racing games such as time splits so you know exactly how well you’re doing.”
Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever prioritizes speed, tasking you to shoot down waves of the undead as quickly as possible. Your score is dependent on how fast you clear a stage, which you can improve by performing special actions. Shooting a zombie in the head twice will temporarily slow down time to score extra hits on other zombies, for example.

The first Zombieland movie was released in 2009 and starred Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Abigail Breslin as a kind of thrown-together dysfunctional family that has to survive the zombie apocalypse. A sequel called Zombieland: Double Tap was released in 2019.

Elgato is releasing a new smart light simply called the Light Strip. The thin strip contains 108 tiny LED lights and can be mounted to your TV or monitor. The Light Strip isn’t available to purchase just yet, but it will cost $60. Elgato is also introducing Wave Panels, specially designed foam pieces that bolster the acoustics in a room.
The Light Strip is two meters and can be customized by trimming and bending before mounting with the included adhesive. The RGBWW LED lights offer a range of 16 million colors. The lights have a 2,000-lumen output and be dimmed. To be clear, the Light Strip is purely for style; they aren’t reactive to on-screen action like some other backlit peripherals. Amazon has a listing for the Light Strip, but it’s not available to order yet.
Elgato’s new Light Strip will have Stream Deck integration, allowing you to control the lights along with your other accessories. It will also work well with Key Light, Elgato’s lighting accessory that’s specifically designed for streamers. You can tinker with the lights via Wi-Fi using the Light Strip app on mobile or desktop. With the Stream Deck mobile app for iOS, you can even ask Siri to adjust the lights for you.
The new Wave Panels come in sets of six for $100 and are available to order now directly from Elgato. At this time, it appears they will only be available in black and blue. The hexagonal panels mount to your wall behind your entertainment setup to improve acoustics.
The new challenges for Fortnite Season 5, Week 14 are now live, and a few of them are food-themed. Though not particularly difficult, they are a little bit tedious and can be annoying to complete if you don’t know what you’re looking for. One such challenge tasks you to collect cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs. We’ll show you how to complete this challenge in just a few minutes.
The name of the challenge is a bit dishonest, as you don’t actually have to go to both locations. We’ve circled them on the map, but we strongly recommend going to Craggy Cliffs, as you’ll be returning to this location at least one other time this week for a different Fortnite challenge.
Cookbook Locations
Either location will work for this challenge
Head around the buildings in Craggy Cliffs, especially the homes, and examine the floors. All of the cookbooks we found were on floors rather than tables or counters.
All cookbooks are identical
You’ll see very small green and yellow books on the ground, and all you have to do is collect them. They aren’t exclusively in kitchens, but we found two of them on kitchen floors and two in other areas of the buildings.
In Pleasant Park, the cookbooks also look exactly the same. We found one in a kitchen almost immediately when entering a house. If for some reason you couldn’t find four at Craggy Cliffs, you can finish the challenge by heading over to Pleasant Park.
Cookbook at Pleasant Park
Once you’ve collected four of these, the challenge is complete. It’s the first in a four-challenge sequence that will eventually send you back to Craggy Cliffs, so make note of the landmarks.
MOBA-inspired spin-off Pokemon Unite looks set to have some form of extra monetization when it launches, as leaked footage of the game’s Canadian beta has confirmed a battle pass system. Videos surfaced online of the game once its beta on Android went live and while a number of them have been taken down, Twitter account Centro Pokemon Leaks managed to grab a few screenshots.
Like most battle passes, Pokemon Unite’s take on the gameplay mechanic rewards persistent leveling up with various cosmetic rewards. You can purchase the battle pass with an in-game currency that is acquired with very real-world money and will likely need to grab a new one once the current season of activity wraps up inside the game.
Leaked footage of Garchomp, Cinderace, and Greninja doing battle also surfaced during the beta, although Nintendo has been quick to strike down any of this content online as it violates the NDA that beta testers are required to sign before trying the game out.
There’s no guarantee that the battle pass in its current form will remain when Pokemon Unite is eventually released and it could still be further tweaked. Battle passes have proven to be very successful in games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Destiny 2. While the current beta is being held on Android devices, Pokemon Unite will also come to iOS when it launches globally.
It’s a big year for Pokemon as the franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary, and so far Nintendo has rolled out a number of celebrations to mark the momentous milestone for its pocket monster franchise. From a partnership with Katy Perry, who will take part in what’s being called the “P25 Music” celebration event, to a McDonald’s tie-in event that was predictably ruined by adults, Pokemon even featured rapper and singer-songwriter Post Malone performing in a virtual concert.
The show may have been short and weird as Malone’s digital avatar took to the stage, but a mix of original songs and a cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s “Only Wanna Be With You” made for a memorable event.

Shaquille O’Neal took a major table bump on this week’s AEW Dynamite in a mixed tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. Shaq’s partner, Jade Cargill, also made her official in-ring debut in the wrestling promotion.
AEW has been hyping Shaq’s debut match for a month now, and whether or not it lived up to the hype, the NBA icon was all-in about showing what he could do in the ring. He even landed some offense on Cody with a powerbomb in tribute to Mr. Brodie Lee.
During the match, Jade had set up a table on the outside of the ring. It was Cody who then hit Shaq with a flying crossbody, taking himself and the big man crashing down into the table. Check out the footage.
Later, Shaq had to be taken in an ambulance only to have disappeared from it not too long after. Shaq has been been in a wrestling ring a few times, even coming in as a surprise entrant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale at Wrestlemania 32.
Shaq has also made appearances here and there, and actually in the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. A match between him and Big Show seemed like a likely scenario back in 2017, but it never came to be. Now, with Paul Wight and Shaq finding themselves again in AEW, it could be a possibility down the line.
Rockstar Games’ plans to launch a standalone version of Grand Theft Auto Online were prompted, at least in part, by sheer market saturation for Grand Theft Auto 5.
“As you sell that many units, you will at some point arrive at the conclusion that you’ve saturated for purchasing the title,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said at a Morgan Stanley technology conference. “At that point you’re willing to experiment with the possibility that maybe there is another way to bring people into the online experience. Make it super-low friction, low price point. Sure, you don’t have access to the original single-player experience, but you do have access to an online world. Our view is perhaps that’s a different market and that’s a way to expand the player base.”
He said the company’s experience with putting out Red Dead Online as a standalone release, apart from Red Dead Redemption 2, was a proof-of-concept. That gave Red Dead Online its biggest month since launch, and the people who get in using the online experience might upgrade to the full version too. He sees it as an opportunity to bring in a larger player base, which then helps feed long-term success.
The standalone version of Red Dead Online is regularly priced at $20, but it was 75% off for the first several weeks, bringing it down to $5. We might see a similar approach for GTA Online, but Take-Two and Rockstar have not announced release or price details.
Grand Theft Auto Online has sold 140 million units, and often makes the top ten in NPD sales despite having been out for several years already. Take-Two has often boasted that its GTA Online microtransactions have served as a boon for the company, which may help to explain why we still haven’t heard word on a GTA 6.

Wolf Armor is the sixth tier of protection you can get in Valheim, but like everything else in the Viking survival game, crafting it isn’t easy. You’ll need to locate Silver, one of the toughest metals to find, and that takes special requirements. On top of that, you’ll have to survive the cold of the Mountain, which can be lethal all on its own. This guide will help you find Silver, give you all the info you need to survive the mountains, and run down the requirements for each piece of armor, so you know exactly what to hunt for before you get started.
Locating Silver in the Mountain biome is a multistep process. It’s buried underground, rather than popping up on the surface like Tin and Copper. That means Silver is a way more difficult ore to mine, and you won’t find it without a little help or a lot of luck. To find Silver underground, you need a special item called the Wishbone.
How To Get The Wishbone
You’ll need the Wishbone in order to find Silver, which you can only obtain by beating the Swamp boss Bonemass.
The Wishbone is an item you can only earn by defeating the Bonemass, the boss of the Swamp biome. That’s a lengthy process on its own, one that requires delving into the Sunken Crypts dungeons found scattered around the Swamps. For that, you’ll need the Swamp Key, which you can earn by defeating the Black Forest boss, the Elder.
Beating the Bonemass can be tough, so you’ll want to search for Iron and gear up long before you go after the boss itself. To find it, delve into Sunken Crypts and look for a rune stone that will mark the Bonemass on your map. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to find its altar and make a sacrifice of 10 Withered Bones to draw the giant blob out to fight you.
The Bonemass does a ton of damage with its melee swipes, and most of its attacks will leave you poisoned, so make sure you’re making Poison Resistance Mead ahead of the battle. Blunt damage works well against the Bonemass, so the Iron Mace is a good melee weapon to bring along too. We found the most success, however, with Frost Arrows. The Bonemass resists piercing damage but is susceptible to Frost damage, which still makes the arrows very effective. You’ll need to venture into the Mountain biome to get them, though.
Kill the Bonemass, and it’ll drop a Wishbone, which is an equippable item. With that in hand, you’re ready to head to the Mountain biome to search for Silver.
How The Wishbone Works
When the Wishbone is equipped, you’ll see turquoise sparks fly off your character as you near buried treasure. The faster the pulse, the closer it is.
The Wishbone detects buried treasures, and it does so basically by acting as a metal detector, blinking and beeping when you draw close to underground items. With the Wishbone equipped, you’ll see turquoise lines emanate from your character and hear a sort of pinging sound when you draw close to something that’s buried. That’s your indicator that you’re on the right track–but don’t start digging just yet.
As you get closer to a buried item, the Wishbone will pulse faster and faster, so it’s a good idea to have your sound turned up to help you identify when you’re drawing closer to an item. If the pulses are a few seconds apart, you’re still a pretty long way from your destination. Don’t start mining in earnest until the pings are pretty close together.
You’ll also need to note that some Silver is probably beneath your feet a fair distance. This can make it tough to locate, although your pickaxe will take you down pretty quickly. Keep your Wishbone equipped the entire time you’re mining, as it’ll help you figure out if you’re moving too far away from a Silver vein. The actual Silver nodes can be tough to spot, but you’ll know you’ve found some when your Wishbone quits blinking altogether.
How To Explore The Mountain Biome
Make the Wolf Fur Cape as early as you can–it’ll help you withstand the cold of the Mountain biome and fend off Freezing.
You’ll find mountains before long as you explore in Valheim; essentially, if the elevation is rising ahead of you, you’re on the right track. It can be tough to see through forests and swamps to find the Mountain biome, so if you’re having trouble locating the right place on foot on a given island, consider hopping into a boat and sailing around a bit. Mountains aren’t especially common as far as the other biomes go, but they can be much easier to spot at a distance.
The thing to remember is that mountains are cold. Venture too high in elevation and you’ll suffer from the Freezing debuff, which will slowly sap your health until it kills you. Freezing, like poison, can quickly be your undoing if you encounter any of the Mountain biome’s denizens, so don’t start climbing until you’re ready to go.
To circumvent freezing, you’ll want to make Frost Resistance Mead. You’ll need both a Cauldron and a Fermenter to make the potion, but it’s worth the effort. Use the Cauldron to make Frost Resistance Mead base from 10 Honey, 5 Thistles, 2 Bloodbags (taken from Swamp Leeches) and 1 Greydwarf Eye. After brewing that, toss it in the Fermenter and wait–brewing takes about an hour, but you’ll get six Frost Resistance Mead potions for your trouble, and each one will protect you from the cold for 10 minutes.
You’ll also want to gear up as best you can with Iron armor and weapons from the Swamp biome. The Mountains are full of tough enemies, not the least of which are Wolves, who will likely rip you apart a few times as you explore the area. Keep lots of arrows handy for your bow, and get ready to make a run for it if a pack of wolves descends on you. They attack fast, hit hard, and can easily stagger you if you try to block them with a shield.
Mountains are steep but note that with some Stamina, you can usually sprint up their slopes. Just make sure you have a plan for where you can stop and recharge your Stamina before you start venturing upward.
Once you can start making Wolf Armor, it’s recommended that you craft the Wolf Fur Cape as soon as possible. Wearing either the Wolf Fur Cape or the Wolf Chest Armor will give you Frost Resistance, making you immune to freezing; the Wolf Fur Cape requires the least amount of Silver, so it’s your best bet for fending off the cold right away.
What You’ll Need To Mine Silver
Silver veins are often deep underground, so make sure you bring the means to protect yourself from both cold weather and wolves while you mine for it.
As with Copper and Tin, you’re going to need a pickaxe to mine Silver, but your old Hard Antler pickaxe won’t do. Silver is too hard to break with anything less than an Iron Pickaxe, so factor in the extra 20 Iron you’ll need to make one into your plans for upgrading your gear in the Swamps.
The first thing you should do in the Mountain biome is set up a base. A house with a fire will give you a place where you can survive should your Frost Resistance Mead run out. It’s a good idea to fashion a portal in this location as well so you don’t constantly have to climb up and down the mountain to get anything done. A house will also help you avoid getting mauled by wolves as you cross country. Bring Wood, Fine Wood, Surtling Cores, and Greydwarf Eyes with you before you venture out, so that you can rig up some shelter and a portal on the fly. These things will definitely help you get out of emergencies. Just remember to fashion the other end of the portal before you leave your main base–and don’t forget to label it so you can make the connection.
What You’ll Need To Create Wolf Armor
You’ll have to hunt wolves in the mountains to get what you need for much of the armor you can make with Silver–but they’re not the only enemy that drops resources required for the set.
Once you’ve got a base set up and start mining Silver, you can get together the other items you’ll need to craft Wolf Armor and other Silver gear. The prerequisites are pretty involved, though–you’re going to need at least some Copper at some point, and some Iron Chains or Bronze as well.
First and foremost, you’ll need both a Workbench and a Forge, with both upgraded to Level 2. It’s probably a good idea to create a Mountain base that contains a Smelter and a Kiln so you can refine Silver Ore on-site. You’ll also need Copper to build your Forge, and Bronze for some of the Forge upgrades.
You’ll unlock a bunch of recipes once you refine Silver Ore. Here’s the armor you can make with Silver:
Wolf Chest Armor
Wolf Leg Armor
Drake Helmet
Wolf Fur Cape
Each item has its own unique requirements to craft, however. While you’re in the Mountain biome, you’ll need to hunt wolves and drakes, the flying ice dragons you see hovering around the area.
Wolf Chest Armor Requirements
Forge Level 2
20 Silver
5 Wolf Pelts
1 Iron Chain
Wolf armor generally requires a lot of Silver and a few wolf pelts, but each piece of armor also has an extra, slightly less obvious requirement. For the Wolf Chest Armor, that’s an Iron Chain. Find these in the Sunken Crypts of the Swamp biome. You’ll only need one for the armor, but if you can find a few more, Iron Chains are useful for building Forge Bellows, which can upgrade your Forge fairly easily; the other Forge upgrade add-ons require Bronze.
Wolf Leg Armor Requirements
Forge Level 2
20 Silver
5 Wolf Pelts
4 Wolf Fangs
For the Wolf Leg Armor, you’ll need Wolf Fangs in addition to the usual crafting materials. The good news is that these are fairly easy to come by; you should get them naturally as you hunt wolves for their pelts or just fight them off as you explore the mountains.
Drake Helmet Requirements
Forge Level 2
20 Silver
2 Wolf Pelts
2 Drake Trophies
Though it’s part of the Wolf Armor set, the Drake Helmet adds the requirement to hunt drakes as well as wolves. You’ll find these creatures easily enough–they’re flying blue dragons you can usually spot at a pretty decent distance. Use your bow to take them down; they’re not tough to fight and don’t have a ton of health, but make sure to keep moving when the drake stops flying to hover and shoot ice blasts at you. The enemy will fire three at a time, but you can dodge them without much trouble.
Watch out for flying Drakes in the mountains–they’re fairly easy to kill and avoid, but they can ambush you easily. Look for Drake Trophies to make the Drake Helmet.
Drake Trophies might require you to hunt for a bit since not every drake will drop them. But like wolves, drakes are plentiful in the Mountain biome, so you should meet this requirement without too much trouble.
Wolf Fur Cape Requirements
Workbench Level 2
4 Silver
6 Wolf Pelts
1 Wolf Trophy
The Wolf Fur Cape takes the least amount of Silver to craft, so you’ll want to knock it out first rather than last. That’s because wearing the cape will give you automatic Frost Resistance and keep you from freezing in the Mountain biome, and that’ll make continuing your mining operation a whole lot easier. You’ll need a Wolf Trophy for this one, so keep an eye out for star-quality wolves as you hunt. Also, note that you’ll make the cape at your Workbench, so you’ll need to upgrade it once to get access to the recipe.
A full set of Silver armor gives you a lot of protection, while making you immune to the lethal effects of the cold.
With the complete Wolf Armor set, you’re ready to start hunting down Moder, the dragon boss of the Mountain biome. It’s a good idea to keep mining Silver to make additional weapons and further upgrade your armor to make it stronger, because your next stop is Valheim’s toughest region: the Plains.
