How to get Monarch Supply Drops in Fortnite

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 island has new containers called Monarch Supply Drops that players can find and open during a match. Here's how to get it.

In Fortnite Battle Royale, players are always looking for better loot in containers, which range from ordinary chests to the more elusive supply drops that are more sought-after.

These drops, which arrive later in the game, are distinguished by a prominent blue crate dropping from the sky, attracting players like moths to a flame. The race for these crates not only promises rare loot, but it also increases the intensity of the game, as players engage in heated conflicts over these floating containers.

The latest collab with MonsterVerse has added an epic twist to this dynamic. With the introduction of Godzilla to Fortnite, a new sort of supply drop has emerged: Monarch Supply Drops. These special containers, inspired by the scientific organization from the Godzilla universe, are expected to contain an even greater loot, maybe containing things specifically designed to combat the deadly kaiju. Here’s where to find them all.

Monarch Supply Drops are containers that can be found mid-match around the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 island. They drop from the sky during a match and can easily be spotted in the sky by red flares and by the Monarch symbol on the mini-map.

As soon as you spot a Monarch logo on the map, head to that location and walk next to the container to open it. You can also shoot at the black balloon of the supply drop to make it fall down quicker. Once you open the container, you’ll find a weapon higher than epic rarity like the Rail Gun, Burst Quad Launcher, or any other Fortnite weapon alongwith Shield Bubble Jr. and consumable items.

Sometimes the Monarch Supply Drops will drop from the sky during the beginning of each match as Kong drops on the island and then disappears into the sky. The weapons you claim from the supply drops are perfect for defeating the King of Monsters, Godzilla on the Fortnite map.

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.
