The romance between Disney and Epic continues as yet another Star Wars collaboration might be in the works. Loopers are extremely excited waiting on a few more characters from the franchise after the arrival of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Fortnite is known for collaborating with famous pop culture franchises in the form of a seasonal theme or Item Shop collaborations that are much appreciated by the community. With the beginning of every season, the community gets to see their favorite comic book or movie characters enter the loop.
However, some of these collabs do not turn out to be what the community expects of them. A fine example of the same was noticed a few weeks ago when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader from Star Wars franchise were added to the game.

The disappointment that the community faced were their pickaxes that the community expected to be a Lightsaber but instead received a Halloween Knife and an Empire’s pole. However, things might look bright again for Star Wars fans playing Fortnite as Young Skywalker and gang are ready to claim the high ground in the loop.
Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa to arrive in Fortnite soon
— Shiina (@ShiinaBR) June 15, 2022RUMOR: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa are coming to the game later this year or in 2023!
This was posted on 4chan by most likely the same person who also leaked a 2nd Naruto collab for this month! pic.twitter.com/ZwA3c4FUUW
Famous leaker 4Chan, who is known for leaking the Battle Pass for the current season and other potential Fortnite collaborations, which have all been true, has made a leak about another Star Wars themed collab. According to the leak, later this year or early 2023, fans might see the arrival of the Original Trilogy characters.
With Vader and Kenobi as the classic Star Wars characters in-game, it would only make sense to make Luke Skywalker, the protagonist of the series to arrive to Fortnite soon enough. Moreover, his green Lightsaber is a featured mythic weapon in the game which would add him to the current Lightsaber wielding roster.
However, joining him in the mix would be his sister and princess of Alderaan General Leia Organa who might pack the spirit of the Resistance and have her own set of skills to survive in the loop. Alongside her, Han Solo might also make an appearance as Harrison Ford’s character model is currently being used as Indiana Jones in the game.

Moreover, adding his famous blaster weapon as a mythic in the game would be pretty epic as it is identical to the Night Hawk pistol in Fortnite. Although, fans speculate if Chewbacca and droids like R2-D2 and C3PO will also be a part of the next collab.

The Dish Destroyer pickaxe is another free cosmetic you can get in Chapter 3 Season 3 if you haven’t already. Here’s how to get the pickaxe right into your locker.
Fortnite players sure love freebies that the developers give them away each season. From a free Refer-A-Friend skin to a slurpy back bling that you can get upon completing quests, players have faithfully completed every task that Epic has asked them to claim the free reward.
However, over the course of several seasons now, getting these freebies is starting to feel too much work to some players. Epic continues to add away free content, but players are asked to put in the work in order to claim these rewards.
This time around, there’s a new item on the block, The Dish Destroyer Pickaxe, which you can get in Fortnite now by doing a few simple steps. Here’s how you can get it in Season 3.
Get the Dish Destroyer Pickaxe in Fortnite now
— GeForce NOW Powered by Pentanet (@geforcenow_pgg) July 22, 2022
Nvidia’s cloud gaming platform GeForce Now was launched earlier this year when players were able to stream Fortnite on any device if they were a member of the service. This also allowed iOS users to stream the game on their phones despite the Apple vs. Epic lawsuit.

In a recent tweet, Nvidia announced that Fortnite players will be able to redeem a free Dish Destroyer Pickaxe if they stream Fortnite on their GeForce Now enabled devices until August 4, 2022. Players who are members of the exclusive service will only be able to redeem this for free in-game.
However, in another announcement, Epic told its player base that the pickaxe is not exclusive to GeForce Now but will also be available in the Item Shop at a later date. This means that those who aren’t able to redeem the free pickaxe using their GeForce Now memberships will have a chance to buy it using V-Bucks in the Item Shop.

The cost of the pickaxe has not been revealed as of yet as players believe that it will be released once the limited window of August 4 for GeForce Now members have expired. As soon as we get any news on its Item Shop release, we’ll be sure to update this article.
GeForce Now players have had the perks of free rewards ever since the service allowed players to experience the thrill of Fortnite anywhere on their devices. Falling in line is XCloud’s gaming service which has become extremely popular amongst Xbox players.

As the latest Fortnite Season 3 update brought players a No Sweat Summer, it left a weird bug in the game where players are getting empty loot chests. Here’s the latest on that.

Fortnite players have finally given up on the game due to its never-ending glitches and bugs that affect their overall gameplay experience. The latest glitch in the game is teleporting chest loot to a different location, and it’s getting pretty annoying for players.
Player feedback is one of the many things Epic takes very seriously that it aims to fix in every major weekly update or minor hotfixes from time to time. Often there are times when these bugs can get pretty annoying as they affect the overall gameplay experience for the player.
Fortnite players have seen bugs ranging from being stuck under the map or taking fall damage after jumping off a launch pad. From pros to content creators, each one of them took to social media to call on the developers to “fix the game”.
However, a recent update, v21.30, left a bug that has tested the patience of every Fortnite player active this season – potentially the most annoying Fortnite bug of all time. Here’s everything we know about it so far.
Fortnite bug teleports chests loots to other locations
A strange Fortnite bug that is going viral right now on social media is the Loot Chests bug. It all began when Epic added the update v21.30 and introduced players to this year’s summer event, No Sweat Summer.

The update also saw the addition of Prime Shotgun which is considered to be the best shotgun in Chapter 3. While all the additions are fascinating and exciting to the players, the bug the update left in the game is still haunting players who are failing to win a game like they used to.
The bug, as shown in the clip above, teleports the chest loot to a nearby location outside if a player opens a chest box inside a building. This is pretty annoying as it doesn’t let the player farm loot fast as they usually would while landing on a hot drop.
Players have already started uploading their clips of the loot chest bug and are calling out the game to come out and fix this issue. This bug also creates double the work for those players who like to play a fast-paced Battle Royale match.
— Prodea (@ItsProdea) July 23, 2022Not one to complain about bugs in Fortnite but man this loot from chests spawning on the other side of the wall or spawning up a layer is the most frustrating thing. Literally costing games.
Can’t imagine what that would feel like in FNCS grands.
Gotta get that bug fixed asap
Joining in the conversation are a few FNCS players who feel that this bug might cost them several games where they would end up losing on a major competitive level. The entire community has joined hands together to ask the developers to fix the game at the earliest.

While Fortnite has not addressed this issue on their social media handles or on the Trello board could also mean that players in higher ping regions might be the only ones experiencing the bug. However, the player base is still keeping their hopes high to get these issues fixed as soon as possible.
As bugs and glitches continue to add to several issues Fortnite is filled with, events like No Sweat Summer keep the community excited for more in-game content and freebies that they can get. The challenges for No Sweat Summer are live in-game now and players can redeem their share of rewards upon completing them.

Prime Shotgun is the latest game breaking weapon that has been added to Fortnite in v21.30. Here’s all about the new shotgun.

Prime Shotgun is another addition to Fortnite this season in terms of weaponry that has been added to the game. Here is all about the latest shotgun that was introduced in v21.30 and what players think of it.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has been a joyride for both OG and new players alike. The new mechanics, the reality bloom spreading everywhere, and the addition of new weapons to the game have kept the community satisfied so far.
However, during the beginning of Chapter 3, the shotgun meta was deemed to be the worst shotguns the game had added to the game. The Striker Pump, Ranger, and Auto Shotguns were weapons that players had deemed incompetent to other shotguns in Fortnite.

Much so, even the newly released Two Shot Shotgun couldn’t impress the players with its faster fire rate and damage. So, Epic decided to throw a new shotgun into the mix to seek player reactions and improve the messed-up shotguns in-game.
Prime Shotgun was added in the latest update v21.30 to the unvaulted weapons arsenal in Fortnite. The shotguns were the second one introduced to the player base apart from the Two-Shot shotgun.

It holds 4 bullets in a clip and promises heavy damage on the first shot fired from a fully loaded clip. The 3 shots that follow inflict lower damage than that of the first one.
When a player reloads the shotgun, 3 blue dots appear on the gun with the red dot being the first shot being loaded. This brings back the memories of the infamous “One Shot Meta” from the OG days when the community used to perform using a Pump Shotgun.
— Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh30) July 18, 2022New fortnite shotgun is actually amazing. Could even replace the striker pump shotgun!
Damage against builds is so good–very satisfying to use too, like the og pump!
Pros like NickEh30 sang high praise of the Prime Shotgun as the weapon contains elements of the OG pump in terms of range, accuracy, and firepower. Other pros like SypherPK & Ninja also commented their thoughts on the gun which were highly positive.
