Lachlan Fortnite Skin Bundle in Today’s Fortnite Item Shop November 12th/13th 2020

The Lachlan Fortnite skin will be in the 12th/13th November Item Shop rotation along with all the other cosmetics in the set.

Epic Games announced the Icon Series at the start of the year alongside the announcement of the Ninja skin. Previous skins including Marshmello and Major Lazer were also added to the icon series along with any future skins.

Prior to the latest addition to the series, Loserfruit was the last content creator that was added. Last week, Epic Games announced that Lachlan is the latest creator to be added to the series as well as announcing that TheGrefg will be the next to be added to the series.

Lachlan is the only content creator to get his own major tournament as well as getting their own skin. The Lachlan Pickaxe Frenzy took place a couple of days ago with a large number of players participating. Those that finished high enough in the tournament were able to get their hands on the skin ahead of the item shop release.

The Lachlan Fortnite skin and all the other cosmetics in the set will finally be available to purchase today. Here’s a closer look at what’s in the set.

The Lachlan bundle/set contains a skin, back bling, emote, and a pickaxe. Here’s a look at each cosmetic below.

There’s no information regarding how long the bundle will be available to purchase from the item shop. We’d assume it’ll be available for 2-3 days, but information regarding availability is never available.

If you want to grab the skin, I’d suggest you do it as early as possible to avoid any disappointed. It’s probably got some of the better cosmetics in comparison to other Icon Series sets. I’m definitely a fan of the pickaxe and back bling. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Fortnite Week 12 Challenges XP Xtravaganza week 2, week 12 xp coins

Here’s the Fortnite week 12 challenges, also known as the XP Xtravaganza week 2 challenges.

If there are no delays to the season, Fortnite season 4 will be ending on November 30th. We’ll have a “Nexus War” event before the season ends, which will likely take place on the weekend before the season ends.

The week 10 Fortnite challenges were the last set of normal weekly challenges. However, in the email sent out to content creators before the v14.50 update, Epic stated that XP Xtravaganza challenges would be added to give players the chance to unlock the foil variants of the battle pass skins.

The week 1 XP Xtravaganza challenges were released last week on Thursday, and we have another set of challenges to complete.

Fortnite Week 12 Challenges

Some of the XP Xtravaganza challenges for week 1 were staged whilst others were just normal challenges. The staged challenges have three parts to them, and there’s a few staged challenges for the week 2 XP Xtravaganza challenges:

Here are the Fortnite week 12 challenges, aka the week 2 XP Xtravaganza challenges:

  • Deal damage with Shotguns to opponents (1,000/2,500/5,000)
  • Eliminate opponents with Common/Rare/Epic weapons (7 each)
  • Damage opponents using the Choppa’s blades (50/150/250)
  • Catch fish (10)
  • Catch fish with a Pro Fishing Rod (10)
  • Catch fish with Explosive Weapons (10)
  • Shoot a gas can thrown by a teammate before it hits the ground (1)
  • Consume foraged items (30)

Similar to last weeks challenges, these are straightforward to complete. They’ll go live today, November 12 at 1 PM GMT, the same time the weekly challenges went live.

If you find it difficult to find a pro fishing rod whilst looting, you can upgrade a normal fishing rod at an upgrade bench. Catching fish with explosive weapons requires players to throw in grenades or use an RPG at fishing spots.

Consuming foraged items can be completed easily at The Orchard where there’s a bunch of apples on the floor. Damaging opponents using the Choppa’s blades may provide tricky, but we’ll have some tips on how to complete that in another article.

Fortnite week 12 xp coins

There are NO xp coins that are being added to the map since week 10. We’ll release a guide on all the xp coin locations this week.

Free Fortnite Skins: Exclusive PS5 & PS Plus Free Skins Leak

These two Fortnite skins could be free for both PS5 and PS Plus users if leaks are to correct. 

Epic Games have a disclosed partnership with Fortnite. They’ve released a host of free cosmetics for PS Plus players to download from the store. The more recent PlayStation Plus free cosmetics have been gliders and sprays from the celebration packs, but they have been some free Fortnite skins as well.

In April, PS4 players got the Point Patroller skin and the Recon Strike back bling for free in the PS celebration pack. In the most recent pack, PS Plus players got the perfect point pickaxe, point patrol wrap, an emoticon, and a banner.

It looks like PlayStation players could be getting more free cosmetics with data-miners stating that PS5 and PS Plus users are getting free Fortnite skins in the future. Here’s what we know so far.

PS5 Free Fortnite Skin

There were two Fortnite skins leaked from the v14.50 Fortnite update that was released last week, which both look like PlayStation-themed skins. Both skins have the “Cosmetics.Source” as their tag instead of “item shop” which means it definitely won’t be available to purchase in the shop.

The two skins are Indigo Kuno and Cloud Striker. Data-miners mentioned Indigo Kuno being the PS5 exclusive skin that users will get for free, but the Cloud Striker skin has a back bling with the PlayStation button symbols on it. Here’s a look at the Indigo Kuno and Cloud Striker skins:

Here’s the back bling for Cloud Striker, Elevation. You can clearly see the PlayStation symbols on the side of the back bling:

It’s thought that the Indigo Kuno will be a PS Plus free Fortnite skin in the future whilst the Cloud Striker skin will be free for PS5 players. However, there’s no confirmation regarding any future PS5 or PS Plus packs. However, popular data-miner, Hypex, revealed a couple months ago that there’ll be a PS5 free exclusive skin.

The information was provided to him by his insider source who’s got a near perfect track record. However, we’ll have to wait and see if this leak come to fruition in the next couple weeks with the PS5 releasing in America this week followed by a worldwide release next week.

Epic Games announced the Marvel Knockout Series about a month ago. The series consists of four different cups based on Marvel characters with the series ending with a super cup that’ll be played as duos. There’s a $1 million prize pool for the super cup and it’ll take place on November 21st.

Epic Games have just announced the third Marvel Knockout Series Cup. The third part of the series is the Black Widow Fortnite cup. Players will have the chance to get their hands on the Black Widow Fortnite skin in the same way it’s been available in the previous two Marvel tournaments.

Here’s everything you need to know regarding the new Marvel cup, the Black Widow Fortnite cup, including when the tournament begins and the first look at the highly anticipated skin.

Black Widow Cup Fortnite Marvel Cup

The Black Widow cup will take place on Wednesday, November 11th. The cup will start at 12 PM ET in Europe, 6 PM ET for NA East, and 9 PM ET for NA West. Unlike the previous two Marvel cups, this cup will be Duos instead of trios.

How to get the Black Widow (Snow Suit) Fortnite skin for free

Unlike some of the free Fortnite cosmetics we’ve seen provided in the past, you’ll find it pretty difficult getting the Black Widow Fortnite skin. The Tart Tycoon skin was easy to get in the Free Fortnite cup as players only needed 10 points in the tournament to get the skin.

To get the free Marvel skins, you need to place top 1-800. The skin will be hard to get, but it’ll still be available to purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop for those of you that miss out.

Epic teased the skin earlier in the day and have now released an image showcasing the new skin. Here’s your first official look at the new version of Black Widow:
