How to acquire a prop disguise

Step one is to get your hands on a prop disguise. The main thing to know is that prop disguises are sold by NPCs around the map. The map above highlights all the NPCs who sell the disguises (thanks, Fortnite.gg). It’ll cost you 75 gold bars for one random disguise, so cross your fingers that you get one that makes sense for the area.

Therein lies one of the issues with this challenge. If you’re hanging out in a building or a more rural area, you’ll be easier to spot if your disguise is a bush or stack of tires. However, you often don’t have much control over where you’ll be hiding since the zone will push you into random locations. But either way, that’s how to get your hands on a prop disguise. If you’re short on gold bars, do some looting and take out enemy players to grab any bars they might drop.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you’ll have a much easier time completing this challenge in Team Rumble. This is because your enemies will be able to respawn, giving you more opportunities to find and hide next to them. Pick an NPC that’s within the zone and get your hands on the disguise, then head to a busy area.

Once you’ve obtained your disguise, you’ll want to pay attention to a few things. For one, does your disguise make sense within the context of the area? This isn’t a major issue, but it should dictate where you hide. For example, if you’re a bush, sitting inside a building will likely give away your position. Likewise, a barrel shouldn’t be sitting out in the middle of a field. If you have a disguise that doesn’t make sense, hide in a secluded room of a high-traffic area. That way, you can still get close to enemies without them spotting you.

It’s important to remember that prop disguises only last for a couple of minutes or so. With that in mind, it might be a good idea to hang out close to one of the NPCs who sell disguises, just in case you need to revisit them for another one. There’s some luck involved with this challenge, but if you try it in Team Rumble and go to high-traffic areas, you’ll have an easier time. As a final tip, we advise that you turn on Visualize Sound Effects, which will give you an on-screen indication of enemy footsteps.

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.

All Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite

Most things in Lego Fortnite are grounded in reality -- well, as much as they can be in a game where you are a little Lego man running around collecting resources and building entire villages by yourself. You slowly accumulate better gear as you craft new items and upgrade your existing facilities so you can venture further out and face tougher challenges.

There's some equipment that works a bit differently, namely your Trinkets and Charms. These little doodads can be crafted as you collect specific resources, they come in a range of rarities, and all of them give your character a specific buff that can be placed on your armor to add to your character. There's a lot of them out there to find and craft, so we've cataloged all the Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite and what they do.
