Two of the four preliminary rounds for the Marvel Knockout Super Series have already come and gone, and each round introduced a new hero to the world of Fortnite . The first tournament in October featured Daredevil , and the second round featured Ghost Rider. The top placing teams for each tournament were gifted early access to that round's featured hero skin before it became available to purchase. These teams will also move on to compete in the 5th tournament with a grand prize of $1 mill

On November 2, Epic announced that Fortnite would be arriving on next-gen consoles with some serious graphical upgrades. In the spirit of remembering Fortnite's past achievements, Epic announced that players would have the opportunity to redeem the free Original Pickaxe which is also known as the Default Pickaxe from the first season of Fortnite . While the release date for said pickaxe was not announced, players were made aware that they would only have until January 15, 2021 to redeem the OG Pick

Exclusive cosmetic items are being offered via Fortnite _ 's Reboot A Friend program where players need to coax their friends who haven't touched the game in a while to return to The Island. This initiative has yet to be made available globally, but it is a unique way to incentivize players to return to _Fortnite , if only for a few rou

The next hero to join Fortnite _ 's _ extensive roster of Marvel characters is none other than deadly Russian assassin Natasha Romanoff (better known as Black Widow ), as she will be the featured skin for the third round of the Marvel Knockout Super Series. This is an ongoing tournament series in Fortnite that rewards the highest-placing teams with early access to Marvel hero sk

Not that Fortnite needs the Reboot A Friend program to keep its player base. Even though some of the internet's largest streamers (Ninja, Tfue, TimTheTatman) have seemingly left Fortnite , it still remains one of the most-watched games on Twitch with hundreds of thousands of viewers at any given time. Other titles, such as Roblox , have even attempted to replicate Fortnite 's live events due to the massive number of players that they draw. Yet, Fortnite still continues to present new ideas that further enlarges its already massive follow

There always seems to be a catch when something is given away for free, and Fortnite _ 's free Original Pickaxe is no exception, seeing as players will need to provide their credit card information to get one for some reason. _Fortnite has given players plenty of free items in the past without requiring any personal information, so it seems a bit weird that Epic Games would as for credit card info this time aro

Epic Games has decided to extend the _Fortnite _ Season 4 Marvel crossover for a few weeks to allow players to finish grinding for XP to reach the upper Tiers of the Battle Pass. Rather than the typical Weekly Challenges that would allow players to earn a bit of extra XP, developers have instead introduced the XP Xtravaganza challenges . These work similarly to Overtime challenges from previous seasons and ask players to complete certain activities in three stages, with each stage getting progressively more difficult. Thankfully, players can have a team with them when they complete the challenge to make it easier to finish each stage and earn the 20,000 or 50,000

With over half of Fortnite's player base being between the ages of 10 and 12, it's unlikely that they will have their own credit card and will have to use their parents if they intend to redeem the OG Pickaxe. It's hard not to think back to the popular 2018 meme that fictionalized children stealing their parents' credit cards to buy V-Bucks . Most platforms have the option to save credit card information for future use, and this one-time free redemption of the OG Pickaxe could lead to accidental or intentional purchases in the future. While Epic Games may not have malicious intent when requiring the Pickaxe to be redeemed through the system's store, it does raise the question as to why the developer wouldn't distribute the item the same way it has in the p

During Week 12, which is Week 2 of the XP Xtravaganza, players are asked to catch 10 fish three different times. The first time, they just need to catch 10 fish any way they can. The second time, they will need to catch 10 fish using a pro fishing rod, and the third time, they will need to catch 10 fish using explosive weapons. Pro fishing rods were introduced in Season 4 as a new way to catch more fish and Actionmixhub.com the only way to catch certain Legendary fish . While players might be able to find a pro fishing rod among the other loot in the game, they tend to be rare, and players may waste a lot of time searching for it. Instead, they can more easily get this tool by finding and upgrading a regular fishing rod. Here's how to get a pro fishing rod in Fortni

The easiest way to get a pro fishing rod is to pick up any fishing rod and take it to an upgrade bench . There is at least one of these indoors at every named location on the map, including some inside the shacks at the lake surrounding The Authority, one of the best fishing spots. The upgrade costs the same amount of materials as it would cost to upgrade an Uncommon weapon to Rare rarity: 100 Wood, 100 Metal, and 100 Brick. This will make it easier for players to work together as a Team and split up to complete the challenge, as everyone can upgrade a regular
