The mark of truly knowing you’ve made it, Fortnite now has its own version of Monopoly. But Monopoly: Fortnite Edition isn’t just a re-skin of the classic board game, it’s basically a different game altogether. Players can choose from 27 Fortnite outfits as their pawn. While you can claim locations much like buying property, the name of the game is, fittingly, all about survival.

Supporting 2-7 players, you’ll work your way around the board securing Fortnite landmarks, battling your opponents, and earning HP chips to help you survive. Battles are conducted through rolling the action die, and you can even snag loot chest items to help you on your journey. Like the video game, the storm threatens to wipe you out of existence. You’ll probably be happy to hear that games don’t last nearly as long as the traditional Monopoly.

While some kids and teens may dislike getting clothes as gifts, they might feel a bit better about it if the clothes are Fortnite-themed. By now, there are tons and tons of shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and even socks that show off one’s love of Fortnite. We found many cool options by searching on Amazon and the Battle Royale Shop.

Since it’s winter, though, we’d like to highlight this simple, but well-made . As you can tell by clicking on those links, some of the clothing options might prove to be less cool than others. For instance, the “Straight Outta Tilted Towers” shirt isn’t advisable. We recommend playing it safe here by sticking with options that just feature the Fortnite name or logo rather than one with a silly catchphrase.

Can you fix the Fortnite servers not responding error?

The last thing you want to see when loading up Fortnite for a match with your friends, especially when a big new update is dropping, is to be hit with an error. The worst of which might be the "Fortnite servers not responding" error due to how vague it is. Most people don't know what servers are, let alone what it means when they aren't responding, except that you can't play your game. The question then becomes if you have any power to solve this issue yourself or if you're forced to wait until Epic Games addresses it on its end.
Can you fix the servers not responding error in Fortnite?

The first thing to do when encountering this error in Fortnite is to go straight to the Epic Games Help website or X account (formerly Twitter). This will let you know if it is something on Epic Games' end that is the issue and also keep you updated on the status of when the servers are expected to be fixed. Servers can also be taken down for maintenance or in preparation for major updates, which will also be accounted for here. If this is the case, there's nothing to do but wait until they announce the servers are back up and running.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite
Characters fishing in LEGO Fortnite.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth gift guide: best gifts for every character
Kiryu and Kasuga grasp hands in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Who wouldn't want to be friends with a guy like Ichiban? The guy is a bundle of optimistic joy and positivity. Sure, you'll likely get into more than a couple of brawls with him, but that only strengthens your bond, right? That's how it works in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, anyway. There are many ways you can increase Ichiban's bond level with his various party members, and even other people on the street you bump into, but one of the easiest (although expensive) ways is to give them the perfect gift. Instead of grinding out your bond level through battles or slow conversations, why not buy your way into your friend's heart? The only tricky part is knowing each character well enough to tell what gift they will appreciate most and where you can snag it.
Best gifts for each character

Each of the main party members in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has their own personality and style. You wouldn't get much love from Nanba by giving him some makeup or Adachi some flowers, after all. There's no wrong gift you can give technically since no matter what you give someone it will increase your Bond level, however, these objects raise it more than the others.
