How to unlock the Daryl Dixon and Michonne skins in Fortnite

Over the course of its life cycle, Fortnite has been home to a wide variety of memorable characters, including Deadpool, Master Chief, and Kratos. Joining the impressive lineup are Daryl Dixon and Michonne from The Walking Dead. This duo of characters was originally announced during The Game Awards 2020, and are finally available to all players now.

However, it might not be entirely clear how to obtain them. Luckily, we’re here to help with that. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about obtaining the Daryl Dixon and Michonne skins in Fortnite.

As with most Fortnite skins, you must purchase them using V-bucks, which serve as the game’s currency. Luckily, you can unlock V-bucks by leveling up your Battle Pass. Every six or seven levels, the game awards you with 100 V-bucks for free. Otherwise, if you don’t have enough, you’ll need to purchase V-bucks using real money. Remember, 2,800 V-bucks is equal to around $20.

In the case of Daryl Dixon and Michonne, the best option to acquire both of them is the Survivors in Arms bundle, which comes with both outfits, one additional style each, one Back Bling each, and both of the character’s Harvesting Tools. Based on the countdown timer, it appears like this set will only be available today, December 17, 2020, and might be the only chance you have to get them. Sometimes, however, at the end of a season, Epic Games re-releases characters that you can purchase if you might’ve missed them earlier on. That might be the case with these two skins, though it hasn’t been officially announced.

If you’re looking for just one or the other, you’ll want to purchase them individually for 1,800 V-bucks. Each will come with their Back Bling and Harvesting Tool, along with their additional style. Though, if you want both characters, you should just buy the bundle.

Michonne — 1,800 V-bucks

This pack is available for those who just want the Michonne skin.

Remember, these skins are simply cosmetic and have no impact on the gameplay. The same is true for the Back Bling and Harvesting Tool. Fortnite’s season 5 just started and has already included several iconic characters, leaving many to believe we’ll see even more later on. We got Master Chief from Halo representing Xbox, and Kratos from God of War representing PlayStation. Will we see a famous Nintendo character appear, as well?

Lego Fortnite is getting a massive update, including a new game mode

Fortnite's various Lego modes have been around for just under a year, but they remain some of the most popular choices for players. With the one-year anniversary coming up, Epic Games announced a series of significant changes coming to the game type.

To begin with, Lego Fortnite will be renamed Lego Fortnite Odyssey. That's because Lego Fortnite will become the hub for anything Lego-related within the Fortnite ecosystem and provide players with an easy way to start up any Lego game mode.

Fortnite faces community backlash over the addition of bots in OG mode
Fortnite battle bus.

The recent launch of Fortnite OG shot the battle royale title back up the top of the charts, not that it ever really loosened the chokehold it has on the gaming community — and then the launch of the game's first-person mode further stoked the flames. One recent change is not as welcome, however. Fortnite recently shared a post on X detailing the addition of Duos mode, as well as "matchmaking improvements in all Fortnite OG playlists." That doesn't sound like a red flag ... until you read the comment section of the post.

Fortnite OG playlists just received bots, and players are taking that change about as well as they took the addition of No Build mode. In other words, it created a heck of a lot of controversy. The new bots aren't overly aggressive, and therein lies the issue: They present no challenge. Player complaints are that the bots move slowly, make decisions that get them killed, and much more, according to PCGamesN.

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week
Key art for Fortnite's new first person shooter mode Ballistic.

Fortnite Ballistic, the long-awaited first-person mode for Epic Games' hit battle royale shooter Fortnite, will finally come to the game on December 11.

Epic Games first teased a first-person Fortnite mode in March, but now we have a clearer idea of how it will play. Ballistic is a round-based 5v5 mode with no respawns, similar to competitive shooters like Valorant or Spectre Divide. A team of attackers fights to plant and detonate a Rift Point Device in certain spots on the map, while defenders fight to eliminate the other team before they can do the same. While attackers and defenders will swap their roles after six rounds, Ballistic matches are a best-of-seven affair across both ranked and unranked play.
