What’s Fortnite’s Giant Rubber Duck All About?

Fortnite is known for its wild and sometimes wacky teasers of events to come, but the latest is a real sitting duck. An actual, gigantic rubber duckie, to be precise, relaxing in his stylish green shades near Tilted.

It’s not clear exactly what the rubber duckie does. It does appear to have a health bar with a whopping 1 million health, and only damage from pickaxes appears to stick. Nothing around the duck seems to clearly indicate what will happen if the community chips it down to zero health, but massive community goals have become a fairly regular occurrence, such as an event that had players vote for an unlock by chipping away at pillars that encased it.

If you’re looking to locate the duck yourself, he can be found in section E6, just southeast of Neo Tilted. You can consult our handy duck map below if you need a hand locating the quacker.

That is one cool duck.

Stranger Things Season 3: What Happened to [SPOILER]?

This post contains spoilers for Stranger Things Season 3.

Stranger Things hasn’t had a particularly high body count among its regular cast members throughout its first two seasons (sorry, Barb and Bob), which led many fans to speculate that one or more main characters might die in Season 3 – but after the Season 3 finale, we’ve got a lot of questions about one of our heroes in particular. Jump past the Mind Flayer for more…

Does Stranger Things Season 3 Have a Post-Credits Scene?

Nowadays, post-credits scenes are as common as the superhero movies that popularized them, and even TV shows are getting in on the action.

Despite the fact that Season 1 and Season 2 of Stranger Things didn’t contain any bonus scenes, Stranger Things Season 3 does include a post-credits (or technically mid-credits) scene after the finale ends, so when you start to see snow floating across the credits, don’t click away or let Netflix autoplay whatever’s next on your list, since there’s a fairly major reveal halfway through that seems to set up Season 4.

The Most “American” Games

It’s the Fourth of July, which means that – for our American readers, at least – it’s the day we mark as when the United States officially cast off the rule of King George III and declared our independence.

Regardless, we here got to thinking about how video games have become such a prevalent form of entertainment in the US (yes, across the rest of the world as well, but it’s our birthday so it’s gonna be about us today), and how so many games have chosen to use the good ol’ US of A as a backdrop – both literally and metaphorically – to tell their stories. So, before we leave to don our best, most ostentatious red, white and blue getup and gather ’round someone’s laptop or phone for the traditional Watching of Bill Pullman Talking About Aliens, here are some of our picks for the Most American™ games of all time.

Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC Mentioned in Social Club Source Code

Reference to a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been found in the source code for Rockstar’s Social Club.

Discovered by Twitter user JakoMako51, the source code contains the phrase “RDR2_PC_Accomplishments”. Accomplishments are the Social Club equivalent of Xbox Achievements and PlayStation Trophies, and the system was used for Grand Theft Auto 5.

We’d expect a Red Dead Redemption 2 PC version to use Accomplishments, too, and so this discovery is a potential hint to the fact that Rockstar’s hit Western may be on its way to PC.

Fortnite Season 9, Week 9 Challenge List – Use A Chug Jug, Visit A Solar Array, More

Death; taxes; Fortnite challenges–the three certainties of life. Like clockwork, new Fortnite: Battle Royale challenges arrive every week, and Season 9, Week 9’s set is now live.

You’ll also need to visit a solar array in the snow, the desert, and the jungle. Finally, make sure you’re getting lots of kills with common, then uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary weapons.

If you’ve got a Battle Pass, you’ll be able to do some exclusive challenges. If you haven’t got one and want to get all the cosmetics this season, it’s worth getting one as you’ll get more challenges and thus more opportunities to get Battle Stars.
