In celebration of the new Thor: Love and Thunder movie, Fortnite has added some fresh godlike skins for you to enjoy. These skins include Thor Odinson and Mighty Thor, each with their own cosmetics that are out of this universe. But how exactly do you get them? Do you need to complete pesky challenges or can you simply spend V-bucks to acquire the new cosmetics?
Here, we’ll show you everything you need to know about the new Thor Love and Thunder skins in Fortnite.
To acquire the new Thor: Love and Thunder cosmetics in Fortnite, you need to purchase the Gods of Thunder pack from the Item Shop, which costs 2,500 V-bucks. The pack comes with two Thor skins (and an additional style for each), two Back Blings, two Harvesting Tools, two Gliders, a Loading Screen, and an Emote.
The items included in the pack are as follows:
You can acquire a pack, which comes with 2,800 V-bucks for $20 if you’re short on in-game currency. It’s also possible you might have some V-bucks left over from a previous season. There doesn’t seem to be a way to unlock the new Thor skins for free, so you’ll have to shell out cash if you want to get your hands on them. It also doesn’t appear like there are individual bundles for each character, meaning you’ll have to spend 2,500 V-bucks even if you only want one outfit or cosmetic item.
You’ll want to purchase this pack soon if you want to get your hands on the new Thor items, as cosmetics are only available for a limited time.
This isn’t the first time Thor has appeared in Fortnite. A different version of the Marvel hero was implemented as part of the Chapter 2, Season 4 battle pass but has since become unobtainable. Though you can’t get your hands on that particular outfit and its associated items anymore, the Love and Thunder cosmetics are obtainable right now — which are arguably just as cool, if not better.
Fortnite has made a name for itself thanks to its lengthy list of licensed characters. During Chapter 3, Season 3 alone, Fortnite has featured Darth Vader, Indiana Jones, a rerun of Captain America, Spider-Man Zero, and the aforementioned Thor. Previous seasons have been jam-packed with Marvel characters, as well as Star Wars and other famous properties such as Halo and God of War.
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.
