Fortnite cosmetics are the game’s standout feature, attracting millions of players each year and encouraging them to spend their V-Bucks on their favorite character in the game. Epic has introduced additional types of cosmetic items for users to purchase over the years, starting with skins, gliders, and pickaxes and progressing to instruments, jam tracks, and cars.
With the release of Chapter 2 Remix, one more cosmetic piece has emerged that provides an altogether new look to your favorite locker skins and is highly customizable to your preference. The cosmetic item in question here is Kicks (also known as sneakers), which are modeled after Nike Jordans and other similar shoes.
However, if you’re looking for how to get them in the game, we’ve got you covered right here.
Fortnite has finally added Kicks to the game with its most recent v32.10 update that brought the Ice Spice boss and a new Ice Isle point of interest (POI) to the game. However, when it comes to Kicks, you’ve already been granted that cosmetic item in your locker for free if you own the Chapter 2 Remix Battle Pass.
A pair of fresh Air Jordan 1 High OG Black Toe Reimagined is included in the Dynamo TNTina rewards section, but only if you manage to complete a handful of quests and unlock them. Once unlocked, you may head to your Fortnite locker and equip it on your skin. At present, only 524 skins are compatible with wearing Kicks in the game.
However, Epic has announced that it’s adding support for more skins in coming updates. Alongside the Jordan 1s, eight more shoes were added to the game that you can now purchase in the shop. Here are all of them with their prices in the Item Shop:
You can also get the free Show ‘Em Off emote from the Item Shop to show off the currently equipped set of Kicks you have with your locker outfit. Also, check out the best landing spots on the Chapter 2 Remix island that increase your chances of grabbing the coveted Victory Royale.
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.
