Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3: Vibin’ is here, and it comes with a ton of changes. As expected, the latest season features new weapons, map POIs, and other mechanics, each of which is tied to brand new challenges. These quests not only grant battle pass XP but also encourage you to experiment with the newest mechanics. Each week, Fortnite receives a brand new batch of challenges, so things can get overwhelming quickly, especially if you don’t play regularly.
But not to worry, as we have a running list of each weekly challenge, with links to guides for each and every one.
These are all the weekly quests for Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3.
These are the quests for week 0:
As you can see, Fortnite Season 3 has started with “Week Zero” quests ahead of the first full week. This is because Fortnite usually updates on Thursdays, but since the new season began on a Sunday, Epic Games opted to still implement a new set of challenges, rewarding players for jumping in on day one.
These cover many of the new season’s features, from the new assault rifle and shotgun to the intriguing Reality Saplings, and of course, the Baller. It also sends you to the new areas of the map including Groovy Grove, Reality Falls, and Rave Cave, which are all centered around the new Vibin’ theme. You’ll also get to experiment with the new Reality Tree mechanic, which allows you to plant and sprout a Sapling that rewards you with loot. For the most part, the newest quests aren’t too challenging, as long as you’re familiar with the new mechanics and features.
There are also other quests that appear periodically, such as milestones and daily objectives. We won’t cover those here, but you can always check the in-game menu to see what’s available. These can be an excellent source of additional XP, so make sure you work on those alongside your weekly quests. You can look forward to other quests that tie to certain NPCs to pop up later on during Season 3, too.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
