If you’ve logged into Fortnite this week, you’ve probably noticed that Attack on Titan is making quite a splash in the popular battle royale. You can currently pick up multiple Scout Regiment skins, complete some themed quests, and even find two unique weapons based on the anime – ODM Gears and Thunder Spears. Whether you’re looking to get your hands on those weapons or simply want to knock out the associated quests, you’ll need to round up Scout Regiment Footlockers. We’ll tell you all about them below.
There’s good news and bad news when it comes to finding Scout Regiment Footlockers. The good news is that there is one that spawns in the same place every match, but the bad news is that the rest of them are random. That being said, we have some tips on how to make finding them a little easier.
First of all, you can always find a Scout Regiment Footlocker in Jaegar’s family basement, which can be located at the southeastern house in Anvil Square. Head down the stairs under the awning here and open the door to see the footlocker on the other side of the room. Of course, with this being the game’s only guaranteed spot for a footlocker, don’t be surprised if you have some competition.
As for finding other Scout Regiment Footlockers, you’ll want to stick close to major POIs. There’s no way to tell which POIs have the footlocker at the beginning of each match, but there are two ways to improve your chances of finding one. First of all, you can roll for the Treasure Hunter augment, which will ping the location of all nearby chests when you first enter a POI. Secondly, if you manage to claim a capture point at a named POI, you’ll be able to see the location of all chests in the area for a brief period of time.
If your main goal is to quickly complete the Eren Jaegar quest that requires you to find three Scout Regiment Footlockers, you may find it’s easier to just keep landing and trying for the guaranteed footlocker spawn at Anvil Square. However, because it will be hotly contested, make sure you grab a gun when possible to help improve your chances of getting out alive.
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.
