These streamers have had plenty of reason to be cautious recently, though. Twitch has not been a safe place for content creators recently due to an unprecedented amount of DMCA copyright strikes that the website is clearly not equipped to deal with. These legal attacks have led to a massive " DMCA bloodbath " as streamers see their content deleted en masse with little to no warning or hope for recourse. Not even partnered streamers are safe; the website has been banning some of them over their sound effect usage in a desperate attempt to escape legal repercussions. The most minor of sound effects can incur the wrath of the DMCA; players have faced strikes for innocuous in-game sound effects like birds chirping and clocks tick

The Mad Titan, Thanos, is making his glorious return to Fortnite _ in the form of an ultra-rare skin. While players will not be able to purchase the epic Marvel villain's skin in the _Fortnite store until June 27 , it can be earned by players who compete in the Thanos Cup and finish among the top players in their region will be given the skin for free. Those top-performers will also earn other exclusive cosmetics for their hard work, but the Thanos skin will undoubtedly be the crown je

A few days ahead of the Nexus War event's epic conclusion, the Galactus skin reserved for the final battle leaked online, exposing the exact exterior of the arch-villain in Fortnite . The character received a fairly iconic menacing look, although Galactus did inherit some cartoonish proportions common for the Epic’s battle royale game. Before the event started, players expressed cautious hopes that Galactus’ leaked skin could be an obtainable one for later use, but that would’ve gone against the whole premise of Seaso

Season 4 in Fortnite was completely based on Marvel intellectual property with such heroes as Thor, Iron Man, and Wolverine arriving at the Battle Island to stop the invasion of Galactus. The arch-villain was on his way to destroy the game’s world, while in the meantime, players could earn various superhero skins and enticing cosmetics. During the last few months, the community witnessed the arrival of a number of additional characters including Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and Black Widow accompanied by themed tourname

In a new video from Fortnite Youtuber Lachlan , the popular player is sporting the Thanos skin. He teases his audience that if he, as Thanos, uses the "Snap" emote, he will dust away half the lobby just as the Mad Titan did in Avengers: Infinity War . Sure enough, when Lachlan activates the "Snap" emote, the screen is filled with the names of players who have been elimina

Many commenters have pointed out that Lachlan appears to be in a custom lobby, so this is likely not an actual feature of the Thanos skin. Instead, it appears to be a well-coordinated and fun stunt that pays homage to Infinity War . Later in the video, Lachlan enters several other games and fortnitemix.com does not elect to use this same move, which would theoretically give him a considerable advantage were it an actual feature. So it seems, to quote the Mad Titan, " reality is often disappointin

The final event of Chapter 2 Season 5 in Fortnite saw millions of players trying to defend Battle Island against the threat of Galactus. Thanks to Iron Man’s inventive mind, players were armed with modified Battle Buses, which were used to attack the World Eater and send him to a different dimension. According to Epic Games, the final event was so popular that it set a new record in online numbers. 15.3 million concurrent players joined forces to take down Galactus, while 3.4 million more were watching the event on YouTube and Twi

Batman showed his geniues by figuring out that Deathstroke was the traitor even without his memories of their long history as rivals in the DC Universe. Hopefully, Deathstroke 's betrayal will only serve to focus Batman 's detective instincts on the hidden secrets of _Fortnite _ , and the shadowy individuals who have put the series' multiversal cast through so much suffer

This is not the first time that Thanos has invaded the world of Fortnite . Back in 2018, as part of a larger crossover with Marvel to promote the release of Avengers: Infinity War , Epic Games also introduced a new game mode to Fortnite called, simply, Infinity War . In this mode, Thanos's famous Infinity Gauntlet is hidden somewhere on the map. The player who finds the Gauntlet would receive several powerups including massive health bars and shields, gaining back shields when he gets a kill, and a unique set of special attacks to punch, jump, and shoot better than any other player. At the very least, this version of Thanos appeared to be easier to contain than the version the Avengers had to contend with. However, with his return, it seems Thanos has only gotten more power

Lachlan's video is far from disappointing though, as he attempts to complete an unofficial "Rainbow Infinity Gauntlet Challenge" wherein the player gets a gun of each rarity (excluding gray). When completed across the toolbar, along with a red pickaxe like Captain America's shield (there is no red-tier gun), the rainbow formed on the toolbar looks like the stones in the Infinity Gauntlet. If Fortnite wanted to have some fun with this concept, it would be interesting to see a mode or challenge where if a player gets a kill the stone of that gun's tier is "activated" and once all six are activated, the player actually could snap away half the lobby. While this might be extremely overpowered, it would at least be more difficult to achieve than simply using a snap emote with a Thanos s
