Fortnite cosmetics are always a hot sell in the gaming community due to their rarity, value in V-Bucks, and unique designs. Among those, skins are the most popular cosmetic item in the game, and some players even spend a fortune purchasing almost every Item Shop outfit.
However, some players who like the free-to-play aspect of the game rely on free rewards in the Battle Pass or through quests and events that Epic releases from time to time. But it’s quite rare that Fortnite gives out a free skin to its player base, let alone multiple outfits in a single go, but that is exactly what is available for players right now.
Fortnite is giving free skins to players as of December 2024 in the game, but there are certain criteria you must meet to claim them. Here’s how to get all the free skins in the game.
As of December 16, 2024, there are four free Fortnite skins available for players to claim. They are Chord Kahele, Trailblazer Tai, Mr. Dappermint, and Explorer Emilie.
Here’s how you can get all these skins in the game:
Apart from free skins, you can also get two free items: the Sir Beurre Back Bling and the Yeetus Hammer pickaxe. Here’s how to get them both.
If you are a frequent Fortnite Crew subscriber, you’ll also be rewarded a free skin, on top of the 1,000 V-Bucks, access to Battle Pass, OG Pass, Music Pass, and the LEGO Pass, where you can progress along all of them simultaneously by earning XP in any Fortnite experience. You can also check out the latest Battle Pass format for more info on the passes and Fortnite Crew starting Chapter 6.
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 One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it.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.
