Fortnite Season 6 New Weapons Leaked – Pump Shotgon, Crossbows, and Pickaxe

Fortnite Season 6 New Weapons, Pump Shotgun

Fortnite players will soon receive tons of new items with the beginning of Chapter 2 Season 6, but one of the most special Fortnite Season 6 new weapons is the return of Pump Shotgun as spotted in the Zero Crysis Cinematic trailer.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will officially go live today with the announcement of the first single-player story-driven quest of the game called Primal. Season 6 will bring tons of new cosmetics, weapons, and features to the game. Thus far, we've seen various leaks from an upcoming Lara Croft skin, but if you are more into weapons than outfits, we have something special for you.

Fortnite Season 6 New Weapons – Pump Shotgun Returns

Almost a week earlier Epic Games launched a poll on Fortnite's official Twitter account, asking them which item they are desperate to get back in Season 6. While I was expecting the players to vote for Launch Pads, Pump received over 60% of votes, which increased the speculations around the return of the Pump Shotgun in Chapter 2 Season 6.

Less than an hour earlier, Epic Games shared the cinematic trailer for Primal, the single-player story-driven mission that ends Season 5 and throws you into Season 6. At some point during the trailer, you can spot Sarah Conner using a Pump Shotgun to save Agent Jones from an Alien monster. This is probably the biggest sign of the weapon's return to the game in Season 6. Also, some leakers have pointed out that the gun will be back soon.

What Are the Other New Weapons?

Based on a leak from Hypex, there are dozens of new weapons with special skins coming to Fortnite in Season 6. While the leak should be taken with a grain of salt, it reveals some cool pickaxe and crossbows joining the game's arsenal in Season 6.

Fortnite is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC.

The downtime for Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 6 is officially over and you can now jump right into the brand new season, but if you've already watched the new cinematic trailer you might be wondering, who is The Foundation? If you haven't checked out the new trailer for Chapter 2: Season 6, you can watch the full video below!

Who Are The Seven?

You might need some back story on The Foundation if you just watched the latest trailer for Chapter 2: Season 6. So, before we jump into who The Foundation is, we need to take a look at the infamous group, The Seven. But who are they?

The Seven are an organization of unknown origin that exist in the Fortnite Battle Royale universe. We assume that with the name of the organization being 'The Seven', there are a total of seven members in the group. Up until now, the only known members of the group were:

  • The Visitor (Chapter 1: Season 4)
  • The Scientist (Chapter 1: Season X)
  • The Paradigm (Chapter 1: Season X)

But now, we've got a fourth to add to the list with the launch of Chapter 2: Season 6.

Who Is The Foundation?

It appears that The Foundation is the official leader of The Seven, and is a new skin players can rock in Chapter 2: Season 6.

Unfortunately, The Foundation isn't included in the Season 6 Battle Pass, so it's likely you'll need to purchase the outfit separately when it becomes available in the Fortnite Item Shop.

fortnite server offline

The big day is finally here for Fortnite players and fans around the world, Chapter 2: Season 6 is about to begin, but with the server currently offline, when will downtime end and Season 6 begin? We've got everything you need to know about the current server status. 

There's a lot of leaks surrounding the latest Season of Fortnite, so if you haven't checked them out already, there's information about the possible new Battle Royale Map. That's not all though, it looks like Lara Croft may be joining the Fortnite universe in Chapter 2: Season 6.

When Did The Fortnite Server Go Offline?

Downtime for Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 6 began at 12AM ET / 4AM UTC /  4AM GMT.

As of writing, it's been quite a few hours since the server went offline, so when can we expect the downtime to end and Season 6 begin?

When Will They Be Back Online?

Well, according to the official @FortniteStatus account on Twitter, the beginning of Chapter 2: Season 6 could vary depending on the platform. Players are likely to receive the patch downloads at different times depending on what platform you play on, there's no confirmation but one console may get the update slightly later than the other. Fingers crossed that downtime ends soon and all platforms are updated at the same time!

Based on previous season updates, downtime can vary anywhere between 3 hours and 6 hours, which means we shouldn't have much longer to wait until the Fortnite server is officially back online and players can begin downloading the patch for Chapter 2: Season 6.

Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour: Are Voltorb and Electrode Shiny?

shiny voltorb spotlight hour

We're now heading into our second major event of March, Charge Up, and with it, our third Spotlight Hour.

This time, the Pokemon who will be gracing us with its presence is none other than the Ball Pokemon, Voltorb.

From 6 pm – 7 pm local time, players will be inundated with the Pokeball lookalikes and they will also gain double Stardust just for catching Pokemon.

The big question is, are Voltorb and its evolution Electrode shiny during this Spotlight Hour?

  • CHARGE UP – Charge Up Electric Event – Start Time, Research, Rewards and Bonuses

What does shiny Voltorb and shiny Electrode look like?

Shiny Voltorb and Shiny Electrode undergo a major palate swap in their shiny forms and are definitely some of the cooler Kanto shinies. The pair's traditional red (synonymous with the Pokeball) is swapped out for a much more vibrant blue colour. This means, they look less like a Pokeball and more like a Great Ball!

Is shiny Voltorb and shiny Electrode available during the Spotlight Hour?

Thankfully, yes they are. The pair have been available in their shiny form for almost a year now, appearing for the first time at the Philadelphia Safari Zone back in May 2020.

Sadly, however, like all Spotlight Hours, it's very unlikely that Voltorb and Electrode's shiny rates will be boosted. Therefore, players hoping to find one will need to click on as many as they can to give themselves the best chance.

What Spotlight Hours are left in March?

Due to the way the month has fallen, there are still a further two Spotlight Hours in March. Next week, we are graced by none other than the Pond Skater Pokemon, Surskit, and the week following that it will be the Lava Pokemon, Slugma.

As always, these two Spotlight Hours will fall on Tuesdays, meaning March 23 and 30 are the dates you'll need for your diaries.

Fortnite Season 6 Map Leaked: Here are all the new locations

fortnite season 6 map

Fortnite has been one of the most popular battle royale games out there. It's been almost 4 years since the game was released and it continues to grow over the years. Epic Games has done a pretty great job of keeping the playerbase engaged with regular content updates as well.

If you have been following Fortnite lately, you might be well aware of the fact that we are heading towards the start of a new season, Chapter 2 Season 6. Epic Games is well known for hyping up the end of each season, and this time The Zero Point has appeared on the map at the end of Season 5. The Zero Point is regarded as a bridge to other realities and many expected that various locations from the previous map will be brought back and blended into one since the Zero Point was destabilizing.

Fortnite Season 6 Map Leaked: Here are all the new locations

Just before the start of the live event, the new Season 6 Map has been leaked online by Twitter user VastBlastt (via @HYPEX) with all the new locations. Here are all the new locations which can be seen on the map.

  • Guardian of the Bay
  • Guardian of the Woods
  • Guardian of the Lake
  • Guardian of the Mountains
  • Guardian of the Fields
  • Guardian of the Sea
  • Colossal Crops
  • The Spire
  • Primal Pond

While the map bears resemblance to some of the previous maps, we see a number of new locations on the map. However, it seems like fans are not quite happy with the map changes as they were expecting more significant changes to come with the new season.

Fortnite Zero Crisis Live Event: Event Timings

If you are looking to watch the Fortnite Zero Crisis Live Event, then you can do so by going to the official Fortnite YouTube channel. The event kicks off at 8 a.m. GMT so make sure you don't miss it!

Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Switch, and Mobile.

lara croft fortnite

The Fortnite servers are currently in downtime to kick off Chapter 2: Season 6, but it looks like when they come back online we could see Lara Croft entering the Fortnite universe for the very first time. That's if leaks are to be believed anyway.

Lara Croft fans can rejoice! There's been a lot of leaks coming out of the latest Fortnite update, and one of the biggest ones is the inclusion of a Lara Croft skin. We've got everything you need to know about the upcoming skin, including how to get it!

Thanks to Fortnite leaker, @iFireMonkey, we've got our first look at the Lara Croft skin in the tweet below.

How To Get The Lara Croft Skin In Fortnite

If the leaks are to be believed, it looks like you can unlock the Lara Croft skin at Tier 22 of the Chapter 2: Season 6 Battle Pass.

Unfortunately, the Lara Croft skin isn't part of the free Battle Pass, so you'll need to use your V-Bucks to purchase the Battle Pass and level it up to Tier 22 before you can equip the brand new skin.

Lara Croft Skin Styles

It looks like there will also be three different styles that players can rock with the Lara Croft skin. The three skins are as followed:

  • Lara Croft 25th Anniversary
  • Lara Croft Gold Anniversary
  • Lara Croft Classic

To match with those Midas skins you already have, the Lara Croft Gold Anniversary Style will feature a completely gold version of the famous character!

Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 6

How to Watch The Demon Slayer Movie And Preorder The English Sub Blu-Ray

demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba muen train movie limited edition special illustration feature crop

The Demon Slayer Mugen Train movie was released since October 16, 2020, in Japan, but has yet to leave the archipel, so how can we watch it? Fans in America might finally be able to do soon as news regarding the Demon Slayer movie USA release is coming March 16 – moreover, the Blu-Ray and DVD release with English subs was announced in Japan. Here's everything you need to know.

How to Watch the Demon Slayer Movie?

While the Demon Slayer movie was previously announced in USA for an early 2021 release date, no further announcement has been made so far. However, the official English Twitter for the series teased some kind of announcement coming March 16, and we might finally hear about the release date. Stay tuned as we will update this story as soon as possible when the announcement is up.

Usually, a movie for a franchise as big as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba would definitely get screenings at anime events such as Anime Expo. Sadly these aren't happening with the Covid-19 pandemic, so we can only wait for a theater release. If you don't feel like getting to the theaters, the other alternative is the get the DVD or Blu-Ray of the Demon Slayer movie.

How to Preorder the Demon Slayer Mugen Train Movie Blu-Ray or DVD?

Aniplex announced that the Demon Slayer Mugen Train movie will be launching on DVD and Blu-Ray in Japan on June 16, and will include English subtitles. Meaning it's import friendly.

The Demon Slayer Movie also has a Limited Edition, which contains:

demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba muen train movie limited edition special illustration demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba muen train movie limited edition special cover
  • A special cover and box by character designer Akira Matsushima and animation studio Ufotable (Samples above)
  • Audio commentary with the seiyuu
  • A Bonus Drama CD
  • A Bonus DVD featuring: 1/ Footage of multiple stage greeting events at various theaters. 2/ Recordings of various TV shows where the staff or cast were invited as guests. 3/ A collection of the TV commercials for the movie.
  • A special booklet containing staff and seiyuu interviews.

The limited edition is priced at 9,900 Yen for the Blu-Ray version, and 8,800 Yen for the DVD version. Meanwhile, the normal edition is priced at 4,400 Yen for the Blu-ray version, and 3,850 Yen for the DVD. (All prices are tax included).

As it is often the case, be it with games, or DVD and Blu-ray releases of movies, several shops in Japan also include shop specific preorder bonuses with the Limited Edition of the Demon Slayer movie. If you can speak Japanese, and planning to import one of these, you can find the detailed list of goods here.

In particular, the official Ufotable Web Shop has a special edition for 12,870 Yen on Blu-Ray (11,870 Yen on DVD), which includes:

  • The Limited Edition
  • Acrylic stand of Kyojuro Rengoku
  • A set of 7 Genga illustrations of the movie
  • A set of five A6 sized illustration cards

Sample illustrations for these goods are right below. Right after the announcements, so many fans rushed to anime studio Ufotable's site to preorder this edition that the site ended up crashing for several hours:

The biggest of fans, with the adequate budget, should be aiming for this special edition. Problem is, the Ufotable Web Shop does not ships internationally. Meaning you'll have to use a proxy. This can make things quite expensive, so be sure to do your homework and pick the most adequate service.

The other and easier way to get the DVD or Blu-ray for the Demon Slayer movie would be to order it on Amazon Japan. Or on online shops such as CD Japan, which ship internationally. These online shops might include stocks of the Special Edition from the Ufotable Web Shop as well. This will be your best bet, so be sure to check these shops' listings.

In related news, a Demon Slayer game on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Steam is also in development and planned for a 2021 release.

Warzone New Map Leak: Is it Real, Release Date, Ural Mountains

warzone new map leak

Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the most popular battle royale games out there. It's been a while since the game was launched, and the developers have done a great job in keeping the playerbase engaged with regular content updates.

Quite recently, the developers released the major Season 2 update for Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War which added tons of new characters, weapons, and much more to the game. There was a new Outbreak in Cold War as well which was widely acclaimed by both fans and critics alike. Call of Duty: Warzone also completed its one year anniversary a few days ago, and fans were expecting a new map to arrive in the game during that period, but unfortunately we didn't get the new map.

Warzone New Map Leak: Is it Real?

Amidst all that, an image has been making rounds on the internet which many believe is the new Warzone map. A picture of the Zoo area of the new map surfaced online a few days ago and people started thinking that it's the new Warzone map, and the game will be switching engines. However, such claims were denied by the leaker himself. He states that it is a Fire Team map that will be added to Cold War, which players had also spotted in the title bar of the screenshot.

Warzone New Map: Release Date

As of now, there is nothing much known about when the new Warzone map will be releasing. There have been various speculations that suggest it will be based somewhere in the Ural Mountains, but we are yet to receive any kind of information from the developers. As far as the release date is concerned, we can expect it to arrive sometime in April, when the Season 2 Battle Pass ends and Season 3 starts off.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.

Genshin Impact Account Hacks: miHoYo gives statement about data leak, will improve security

genshin impact account hack

Genshin Impact has been gaining a lot of popularity since its launch last year. The game will be receiving its next major update, the 1.4 Update on 17th March, and it will be adding a new character Rosaria, new items, weapons, and a lot more.

Players are quite excited for the upcoming update, as well as the updates beyond that as miHoYo will be releasing an update every six weeks. Amidst all that, there has been one issue that has been bothering players a lot. A large number of players have been subject to attacks by hackers lately, and they have either lost access to their accounts or their accounts have been completely destroyed. This has made the community quite anxious as many players are reluctant to even take part in miHoYo's own official events, thinking that it might be a phishing link.

Genshin Impact Account Hacks: miHoYo gives statement about data leak, will improve security

The community has been asking for two-factor authentication for quite a while now but we haven't received any update from miHoYo about it. Now, miHoYo has finally released a statement about the ongoing hacks going on. Many believed that there was a data leak from miHoYo's end, but that doesn't seem to be the case as per their statement. Here is the translated version of the statement which was posted in the Genshin Thailand Group (courtesy of u/uijbg).

Thanks for contacting us, right now the developer are discussing about increasing the security system. From the information we have right now, we have many layers of security and have no sign of being leak. Most of players who got hacked, and [sic] mostly becasue of giving their information to the fake webssite. We hope that the traveller won't go to the fake website. We also will be increasing accounts security as well, please wait for the any new updates.

Don't know, if anyone see this yet. Saw this from Thailand official group (they said they taken from genshin global group) from GenshinHacked

What this increased security isn't implied, but it is speculated that 2FA would be the most logical option here. Considering the rate at which accounts are being hacked, we can expect this pretty soon.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5 and Mobile.
