Fortnite Character Skins 2024: Explore Over 1900 Unique Skins from Epic Games Collaborations

0

Fortnite, developed by ‘Epic Games’ is a game based on the battle royale concept. Ever since its release in July 2017, the game quickly built up a massive player base. Fast forward to the present, the game is known to collaborate with huge brands like Lego, NFL, Marvel, DC, and much more. They haven’t been shy when bringing some athletes(Neymar Jr., Lebron James, etc) and artists (Eminem, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, etc) to the game.

Considering the number of collaborations Fortnite has been a part of, their closet has multiple character skins you can choose from. You can be ‘Peter’ from ‘Family Guy’ or ‘Rick Sanchez’ from ‘Rick and Morty’ and the list goes on and on. Have you ever wondered how many character skins does Fortnite have in 2024? If yes, then you have reached the right place.

It would be difficult to list every skin in Fortnite and trust me, you won’t be reading through the whole list even if I mention every skin. To date, Fortnite has introduced a little over 1900 skins to the game and this number seems to be increasing very rapidly in the past couple of days.

You can expect these types of skins in Fortnite:

  • Original Character Skins
    • These are the skins that were designed and developed by Epic Games. These skins are not imported from anywhere and have never been a part of any collaboration. You can also call these default skins. Example – Renegade Raider, Scout, etc.
  • Licensed Character Skins
    • These skins are mostly characters from other games, movies, cartoons, anime, etc. Example – Loki, Satoru Gojo, Terminator, Optimus Prime, Darth Vader, etc.
  • Real Character Skins
    • These skins are made after real people. These people can be athletes, actors, singers, social media influencers, etc. Example – Khaby Lame, Billie Eilish, Neymar Jr., J Balvinder, etc.
  • Lego Skins
    • These skins are predominantly used in the Lego Fortnite part of the game. These skins are just Lego versions of the skins used in Regular Fortnite. Here are some examples that were recently added – Loki, Billie Eilish, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, etc

It is important to note that only a select number of skins are available to purchase every day as the items in the store are updated daily. Some of these skins have additional items called cosmetics that can purchased separately. Some of these skins only show up in the store once a year making them a collector’s item.

Having said this, Epic Games is making sure to keep everyone engaged and interested in the game by introducing new skins almost every week. If you are not in the mood to spend your hard-earned money in-game then hurry up and go complete the Battle Pass progress as that is where you can get your free skins.

22feet Tribal Worldwide’s New Campaign for BGMI Celebrates Quick Gameplay

0

22feet Tribal Worldwide has unveiled their new campaign for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI), KRAFTON India’s popular battle royale game, titled ‘Hai Thoda Time, Play Thoda BGMI’. The hilarious campaign highlights BGMI’s range of quick gameplay modes, tailored for the evolving needs of modern gamers.

In response to the growing demand for shorter, more dynamic gaming experiences, the campaign recognizes the contemporary challenge of time constraints faced by gaming enthusiasts. ‘Hai Thoda Time, Play Thoda BGMI’ showcases how seemingly insignificant moments in everyday life can create opportunities for playing the whole new line-up of immersive Quick Game Modes on BGMI.

BGMI became a sensation in India banking on its highly viral and long Battle Royale mode. While this mode remains the most popular in BGMI, the campaign highlights the array of quicker game modes available in the game.

Srinjoy Das, Associate Director of Marketing, KRAFTON India, said, “Cutting clutter when you are talking about something as mundane as lack of time is tough. For this campaign, we found the scripts to be remarkably funny, and brings out a very dramatic set of circumstances that piques strong curiosity and ensures high video completion rates. We hope our fans love the beautifully directed films as much as we do.”

Vishnu Srivatsav, Creative Head – 22feet Tribal Worldwide said, “We were seeking the most precious commodity in the known universe, time. And not a large amount of time, but a tiny sliver of it. But we know that every second of free time that people get is a gift from the universe. So we went ahead and made films that showed the amount of things that needed to happen for anyone to get just a little bit of time.  We worked on the crazy, yet plausible set of events that lead to you getting a little bit of time for BGMI’s quick game modes.”

The campaign features a series of three quirky films that explore the unexpected pockets of free time, or “thoda time,” that are perfect for enjoying BGMI’s Quick Game Modes. The humorously absurd scenarios depict the butterfly effect triggered by minor events, ultimately leading to characters finding the perfect short break to play BGMI, because these quick game modes can be fired up anytime, anywhere.

The first film shows a dramatic showdown as ‘Kutty Gangster’ follows a lovesick gangster whose plan to eliminate his rival backfires hilariously, causing enough chaos to delay a nearby cab on the street.

‘A Fishy Tragedy’ depicts the chaotic chain reaction set off by a dead fish and a mischievous cat, leading a professor to miss the bus and get late for class.

In ‘Record Breaker’, we see Sushil break an unusual record of bursting the most balloons ever. Now celebrating this feat leads to a boss delaying his meeting due to some pigeons. How all this ties together is the delight in this film.

All three bizarre scenarios ultimately lead to the characters enjoying the Quick Game Modes on BGMI.

When Is the Next CS2 Weekly Care Package Reset?

The new weekly reward system introduced with CS2 lets players choose a desired reward out of the options presented once a week. While the rewards aren’t exactly the most exciting ones who would reject a free case that could unlock a rare skin?

While the weekly drop system is a fun addition, only CS2 Prime members are eligible for the drops. These drops could net someone a ton of goodies, but other times, they would leave their inventory empty for days. One drop a week means players need to wait another 7 days or till the counter resets again.

In Counter-Strike 2, the Weekly Care Package is updated every Tuesday at 8:00 PM CT (or 6:00 PM PT). This indicates that the next reset for the CS2 Weekly Care Package will take place on Tuesday, May 28 at 8:00 PM CT, which is equivalent to Wednesday, May 29, at 1:00 AM GMT.

So make sure to log in at an appropriate time once a week to collect your rewards, they may not be much but who knows, someday you might get a top-tier skin that would burn hold in your pocket if you were to get it from the store.

How to Check Play Time in Valorant?

0

Valorant has garnered a huge player base ever since its release in June 2020. The first-person shooter quickly established itself as a prominent game due to its fine balance between ‘tactical shooter’ and ‘agent abilities’ aspects of the game. Having played this game for hours, a question recently crossed my mind – How to check the playtime in Valorant? I am sure some of you might also have the same question. Don’t worry, I have the answer you are looking for.

Unlike Steam, the Riot Games launcher does not show us how many hours we have played their game, but there is a way we can track the status of our gameplay. Here is how you can check the amount of time spent in Valorant:

  • Visit Tracker.gg
  • Click on ‘Valorant’ under ‘All Games’
  • Now click on ‘Sign in with Riot ID’
  • Enter your Riot Games Account details
  • Now click ‘Authorize’

You should now see all your stats from Valorant. Although there is no way to see the overall time you have spent in Valorant, you can still see the time you have spent in different game modes. If you add up all the time you spent in different game modes then you should have an approximate idea of how much time you have spent in total. Make sure to select ‘All Acts’ otherwise, you will see the stats just from the current Act.

You can also track a lot of other stats like KDA, kills with different weapons, win-loss ratio, maps you won the most, your most played maps, and much more via tracker.gg.

This site can give you much needed insights to improve your gameplay. So what are you waiting for, go get to know which agent suits you the best so you can dominate the competitive matches.
