Fortnite’s Season 4 is Marvel-themed, and that includes some of its challenges. The first Wolverine challenge is now available, and it asks you to investigate mysterious claw marks. Here’s where to find them and what to do.

How To Investigate Claw Marks, Explained

Investigating Fortnite’s new claw marks is as simple as approaching one of the designated locations. Just getting close to the claw marks is enough; you won’t need to hold down a button or key to actually do the investigating. But you’ll first need to know where to go, as the game doesn’t offer any specific directions on where to find Wolverine’s claw marks.

Fortunately, all three of the claw marks you’ll need to complete the challenge can be found in close proximity to each other in the Weeping Woods. You can consult our map below or check out the individual images and descriptions for how to hunt these down. These can be investigated in any order.

Claw Mark Location: Near The House

Starting with the northmost claw mark, you’ll find it in the building that’s directly northwest of where the words “Weeping Woods” are on the map. There are two larger buildings in the area, and this is the one that’s farther north. Along the west side of the building (the part that’s closer to the river), you’ll want to make your way to the bottom floor, underneath the porch that lines the floor above. Hiding behind some hedges and next to some air condition units, you’ll see the claw marks on the wall. Take note that this is on the outside of the building, not the inside.

Claw Mark Location: On The Rock Near The Water

Moving south, you’ll see a very small pond that’s situated between the two buildings. There are a few rocks here, but it’s the northern one, closer to the building you visited above, that has the giant claw marks. Simply walk near it or hop into the water and swim over to investigate.

Claw Mark Location: On The Green RV

Continuing southeast, you’ll see a few RVs–these are directly south of the other large building in the area. On the west side of the RV, you’ll find the final claw marks just next to the door.

Claw Marks Challenge Reward

Completing this challenge will earn you the Berserker Barrage spray. This features Wolverine with his claws out, standing in front of some graffiti signifying the noise they make. If this season works like past ones, It’s possible this challenge will be necessary to unlock the Wolverine skin once that’s finally available, but we’ll report back once that’s clear. A new Wolverine challenge will unlock for the first six weeks of the season, at which point you’ll be able to get the Wolverine outfit.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a storm chaser but would prefer not to risk your life, Microsoft Flight Simulator might just scratch that itch. Dozens of virtual pilots have spent the past couple of days hurling their planes into Hurricane Laura as it bore down on the US Gulf Coast.

As Texas and Louisiana braced for impact, the real-time weather featured in Microsoft Flight Simulator was providing a visual spectacle for those flying directly into the storm. The stunning screenshots and videos that followed demonstrate the game’s incredible realism and accurate depiction of storm cloud formations. Virtual storm chasers have been eagerly capturing sights by flying above the hurricane, hurtling through its all-encompassing outer edges, and soaring within the surreal calmness of the eye of the storm.

For as impressive as this all is, it’s also worth noting the seriousness of Hurricane Laura. The storm made landfall overnight near Cameron, Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, bringing catastrophic storm surge, extreme winds, and flash flooding to portions of the state, as reported by CBS News. It was downgraded to a Category 2 several hours after coming ashore, but the National Hurricane Center said the storm is still extremely dangerous, with a life-threatening storm surge continuing early Thursday along much of Louisiana’s coastline.

Aside from accurately mapping the weather, Microsoft Flight Simulator also throws up some unusual sights from around the world.

The latest flight sim earned a score of 9/10 in GameSpot’s Microsoft Flight Simulator review. “Microsoft Flight Simulator is a tremendous experience that makes you appreciate natural beauty and man-made ingenuity in equal measures,” said critic Edmond Tran. “Being encouraged to dive into the rabbit hole of learning how to operate genuine, complex machines to perform amazing feats of science is giddying, as is being able to journey across a realistic, mostly accurate depiction of our entire, beautiful planet. Microsoft Flight Simulator is a spectacular technical achievement and a deeply inspiring experience filled with glorious possibilities.”

The Call of Duty League Championship is this weekend and Activision is giving away a unique prize to this year’s best Call of Duty team: A throne.

Alongside the annual trophy and championship ring awarded to the winning Call of Duty esports team, this year’s winner will receive a throne designed by Sheron Barber.

Barber has designed for artists like Drake, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, and Post Malone, but is now teaming up with the Call of Duty League for the prize throne. While the throne isn’t fully built yet, you can check out a design of it below.

The inspirations for the throne come from cubism and classic arcade machines. It will also be customized for the winning team to include the Championship date, as well as names and player statistics from the season.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination was originally scheduled to launch on PC later this year, but developer Rebellion has decided to delay the evil lair management sim until sometime in the first half of 2021.

Rebellion says in a statement that its team has been successfully working remotely for the past five months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that the transition has slowed down some of its progress. As a result, the team wants to take extra time to ensure that the game it releases is as polished as can be for fans to enjoy for years to come.

“We want to release a sequel that will do justice to the franchise and be loved and played by the Evil Genius community for years to come, just like the original,” the statement, posted on Twitter, reads. “And while we know many of you will be disappointed to wait a little longer, launching next year affords us time to do exactly that.”

The statement says that Rebellion will be showing more of the game soon, with information about the game’s closed beta still to be shared. A firm release date is also still be discussed and will be communicated at a later date.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination joins a growing string of delays due to the pressures of the pandemic and the rush to meet end of year deadlines. No game is safe, with Microsoft recently delaying its Xbox Series X launch title, Halo Infinite, and Arkane pushing back its new IP, Deathloop, from a holiday 2020 release into the first half of 2021 too.

With the Call of Duty League Championship happening this weekend, the organization has announced that alongside the championship ring and trophy, the winning team will also get a throne.

The organization didn’t specify the dimensions of the prize, but it’s a “functional [and] elevated gaming throne” created by Sheron Barber, a visual artist and designer who has worked with Drake, Rihanna, Post Malone, and others. The throne is made from Formica with a titanium veneer finish and will feature details like the Championship date, names, and player statistics from the season.

While it’s still being built, the organization shared conceptual designs of the throne, which are embedded below.

The Call of Duty League Championship will go live from August 29-30. In addition to the aforementioned trophies, the winning team will also take home $1.5 million as the top prize. Recently, the competition broke its previous viewership records, raking in a total of 115,000 people watching at its peak.

In other Call of Duty news, Activision has finally revealed the trailer for this year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The new Call of Duty game will release on November 13 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. You can check out our Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War pre-order guide to learn about the bonuses and editions available, as well as how to get access to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions.

The new season of Fortnite is here with the 14.00 update. Chapter 2, Season 4 of Fortnite: Battle Royale features a Marvel theme that goes beyond what we’ve seen in the past–Marvel is the foundation for the entire season, rather than a limited-time mode or one-off skin. Here’s everything new in Season 4, but don’t expect any patch notes–once again, Epic has opted to share the highlights of what’s new rather than sharing any in-depth notes regarding gameplay or balance changes.

Unlike previous seasons, there was no major, The Device-style event. Instead, with Thor having arrived on the island, he has summoned a number of other Marvel characters–Wolverine, Iron Man, Groot, She-Hulk, Storm, Mystique, and Doctor Doom–to help combat an incoming invasion by Galactus as part of the Nexus War. Skins for some of these characters are available via the battle pass, and you’ll be able to acquire and use superpowers and tools related to these characters and others during matches, including Doctor Doom’s arcane gauntlets, Groot’s bramble shield, and the Silver Surfer’s board. Epic teases that more of these will be available at some point later in the season. Leveling up the Season 4 battle pass will also earn you special hero-specific emotes.

In addition to the tools you’ll have at your disposal, there will be new Marvel-themed locations to visit. Fortnite’s island map may not have been dramatically overhauled, but over the course of the season, you’ll be able to head to places like Doom’s Domain (located in the northwest corner of the map) and Sentinel Graveyard, among others that have not yet been specified. A SHIELD helicarrier is also featured prominently in the trailer.

Various weapons have been vaulted or unvaulted, as documented by users on Reddit, but the most notable new weapon for Season 4 is the Stark Industries energy rifle. This can be found by making your way to the quinjets that land around the island; you’ll see them actually fly by and head to different locations (indicated by blue smoke) at the start of a match, as you await to drop out of the battle bus. By killing one of the robots around the jet, you can pick up the energy rifle, which deals heavy damage. Killing those robots and using the rifle are both among Season 4’s challenges.

Not unlike Apex Legends, you’ll now see floating Stark supply drones flying around the map, near to those aforementioned quinjets. By shooting them down, you can acquire various powerful weapons and superhero abilities.

And of course, there’s a new battle pass with weekly challenges to complete. Along with earning various skins, back blings, and V-Bucks, and other rewards as you level up, you’ll also be able to earn the Iron Man skin by making it all the way to level 100. As per usual, this comes with its own set of challenges. Additionally, there are special Wolverine-themed challenges you can also undertake over the course of the season to unlock the Wolverine skin, not unlike how Aquaman worked last season. The first of these is now available and asks you to investigate claw marks.

The Season 4 update is out now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android (provided you’ve obtained the game outside of the Google Play Store). However, as previously reported, Fortnite Season 4 is not playable on iOS–with Apple having booted the game from its store to its ongoing legal battle with Epic, there’s no means for obtaining the 14.00 update on an iPhone or iPad. As such, you’ll be locked to playing an existing version of the game, provided you already have it downloaded or have done so in the past.
