Even if you aren't a Swiftie, you probably have at least heard that her newest album, "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." Released today, the new record has already pulled in quite a few listeners. One of her songs, though, is called Fortnight. It also features Post Malone on the track. Is it about Fortnite: Battle Royale? Or is it just a coincidence?









Let's get into it.



Was Fortnight named after Fortnite?



While the lyrics suggest a whole different meaning, the song Fortnight by Taylor Swift does have some lore rumored to be around it. 



The song itself seems to be using the traditional meaning of Fortnight, which is "a period of two weeks." However, rumors have serviced that the song was written about an ex-boyfriend of hers who played way too much Fortnite (if there ever was such a thing).







I wouldn't put this past Taylor. I mean, everyone knows that her songs are usually about ex-boyfriends, and Fortnite is a HUGE game. 



Taylor Swift's new album has a song called Fortnight while the game Fortnite is huge. Coincidence? I think not!



I know what you are all thinking: "Fortnight was literally a word before the game Fortnite came out." Yes. I know. I am not here to act like the word originated with the popular Battle Royale that millions across the globe still play. 



But there is no denying, that since the game's release, many have come to think of the Battle Royale whenever they hear the word Fortnight (Fortnite for the gamers). 







So Taylor couldn't possibly release a song with that title thinking no one would relate it to the game, right? I mean... Post Malone is literally featured on the song. He is an avid gamer who has been seen streaming live on Twitch in the past. It only makes sense!



Well, if you look at the lyrics, then no - Fortnight is not about the game Fortnite (unless you relate the part about a storm to the game). But if you look at some of the lore and rumors behind the song, well, we just may be on

Is Taylor Swift's song 'Fortnight' about the game Fortnite?

The Janky Fortnite skin is not on the proverbial Mount Rushmore of Fortnite cosmetics, but it's become ultra-rare. This lovable humanoid animal creature is closely associated with Guggimon, an Instagram-famous fashion horror artist and mixtape producer. Janky last appeared in the Fortnite Item Shop 848 days ago, on December 22, 2021, and that lengthy hiatus ends on April 18, 2024.



Here is when and how you can acquire the Janky skin in Fortnite, which includes a LEGO variant this time around.



When can I get the Janky skin in Fortnite? How much will it cost?

Those eager to acquire the Janky skin should head to the Item Shop at 8 p.m. ET on April 18, 2024. Many leakers have confirmed that the highly sought-after Outfit will return for the first time in nearly two and a half years.



Below, we have provided a look at the entire Janky Fortnite collection, including the last known pricing:

An alleged Fortnite roadmap leak has begun making its rounds online. Several leakers, including iFireMonkey, ShiinaBR, and HYPEX, have reposted an image that seems to confirm what the remainder of Fortnite’s 2024 roadmap will provide. This image remains unconfirmed at this moment, and it will likely stay that way. However, this article will explore the somewhat realistic-looking image. 



POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING AHEAD



A look at the alleged Fortnite roadmap for 2024



According to iFireMonkey, this image surfaced without context on 4chan, so take this with a grain of salt. Regardless, the picture looks legitimate based on what we have seen from Fortnite thus far in 2024. 







As you can see, the supposed leak breaks the year down by months, separating Fortnite into LEGO Fortnite, Battle Royale, Festival, and Rocket Racing. These are Fortnite’s core game modes. Each category includes a small image of what that month from March through December will provide. 



The next section of this article will explore this further, so this is your last chance to exit if you’d prefer nothing spoiled. 



What’s included in this rumored leak?




⚠️ (Not Confirmed Yet) ⚠️Recently an image started to float around on 4chan of potential content releasing in each of the core Fortnite modes throughout 2024, while I can&#39;t confirm it to be legit yet, it is interesting to see some well made renders here, and we would be able to… pic.twitter.com/TgXbAoWpTW— iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) April 19, 2024




If the leak is true, the rest of 2024 in Fortnite looks insane. The leaked roadmap includes collaborations with Billie Eilish, Metallica, Karol G, Snoop Dogg, Pirates of the Caribbean, another Marvel season, and more.

FNCS Community Cup: How to get FNCS Siren skin for free

What would Fortnite be without its iconic skins? Over the last seven years, players have spent millions of V-Bucks to fill their lockers with a vast selection of playable Outfits that offer no competitive advantage. From humanoid bananas to jacked humanoid cats, these characters have transcended the game's undeniable popularity. However, some have earned a legendary status that even non-Fortnite players would recognize. Today, we are building the Mount Rushmore of Fortnite skins to determine the most important to the game's history.



What is Mount Rushmore?







Before we begin, it's essential to explain Mount Rushmore to help you better understand the purpose of this article. Mount Rushmore is a national memorial located in South Dakota, United States of America. It features massive sculptures of the heads of four former American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. These former leaders represent the nation's birth, growth, development, and preservation.



However, in popular culture, many use Mount Rushmore as a bar to measure a subject's four most influential figures. For example, some may argue that the Mount Rushmore of video game consoles includes the Super Nintendo, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo 64. With all that covered, we will select the four most important Fortnite skins and put them on Mount Rushmore.






Position #1 - Jonesy The First







We have no choice but to pick Jonesy The First to lead off the Mount Rushmore of Fortnite skins in the George Washington position. When Fortnite Battle Royale took the world by storm in 2018, players had few skins to choose from before the Item Shop arrived. One of the default skins was Jonesy The First, who has become the de facto face of Fortnite. Jonesy is an essential figure in the lore and has seen countless iterations over the last seven years.



Like George Washington, Jonesy poetically represents Fortnite's birth. Anyone who comes across

The Epic Games Error Code AS-3 is an error that prevents you from playing your favorite games on the Epic Games Launcher. Whether it’s Fortnite, Rocket League or even GTA, it’s quite frustrating to experience this error code. Here’s how to fix Epic Games Error Code AS-3.







How to fix Epic Games Error Code AS-3?



Check Epic Games Server Status



The key culprit in many Epic Games-related error codes is a server-side issue. With millions of players during any major event, it is a gargantuan task to keep everything running smoothly. They do manage, regardless. 



You can check the Epic Games server status on their status page.



Disable Windows Firewall



The Windows Firewall can be a notorious reason for the Epic Games Error Code AS-3. The firewall might interrupt with the functioning of the Epic Games Launcher. Go through the following steps to disable the Windows Firewall




Open Control Panel



Click on System and Security



Go to Windows Defender Firewall



On the left side panel, Click on “Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off”



Click on “Turn off” for both options provided.




Switch to Google DNS



Switching up the DNS might also solve this issue. 




Go to Network and Internet option



Go to Wifi on the left side panel



Click on Hardware Properties



In the IP and DNS settings menu, change it to manual



Toggle IPV4 and change IP address to 8.8.8.8. The alternate DNS is 8.8.4.4



Restart the Epic Games Launcher




Restart your Router



A wonky internet connection might also be one of the reasons why you are getting the Error Code AS-3. The error code usually signals a lack of proper connection with the Epic Games server. 



As such exit your Epic Games launcher, turn off your router. After a brief gap of 10-15 seconds, turn it back on. Now start Epic Games launcher and check if the problem persists.

XDefiant is a free-to-play first-person shooter, and of course, you must be online at all times to play it. There are moments where that issue may not be your fault, especially if you receive the XDefiant MIKE-01 error code.



There's a slight chance it is on your end, but more often than not, MIKE-01 is a problem with Ubisoft directly. And it is a common code among its games, with The Division and The Division 2 employing the code first.






If you're getting this error, let us walk you through how to fix it.



Why are you getting the XDefiant MIKE-01 error code?



(Image via Ubisoft)



Here is a list of reasons as to why you might receive the MIKE-01 error code when trying to load into XDefiant:




The game is not available in your region



You are not properly connected to the internet



You do not have the latest XDefiant update or patch installed



The XDefiant servers are down due to a Ubisoft issue or possible maintanence




That's really all there is to it. MIKE-01 appears in XDefiant whenever you can't connect to the servers, for whatever reason that may be.






How to fix the MIKE-01 error in XDefiant



If you're frustrated with the MIKE-01 error code in XDefiant, we've got a few tips on how to resolve it. These aren't foolproof methods, as there truly isn't one, but they should at least help you understand what is causing the problem.



Try these fixes out and see how they do:




Ensure you are connected to the internet



Restart your PC or console



Update XDefiant to the latest patch



Verify the integrity of the game file



Completely uninstall and reinstall the game incase the files became corrupt in any way



Double check to see if the game has a server or is even allowed in your region

Use a VPN to bypass it if you have to





Look to official XDefiant or Ubisoft websites and social media accounts for any indication of server issues or ongoing server maintenance that has taken the game down




If you ask any XDefiant player,

XDefiant has plenty of customization when it comes to its weaponry. Its on par with the likes of Call of Duty in that sense. So, if you want to know the best weapon loadouts for Ubisoft's XDefiant, we've got you covered.



There are multiple weapon categories that any FPS veteran is familiar with. And the same goes for the guns in those categories, as the weapons are popular ones often used in shooters. With our help, you'll know which one to use and how to kit it out for each category.






The best XDefiant loadouts



XDefiant has six weapon categories to choose from, which let you create a loadout filled with customization. You pick a gun, add attachments, decide on a secondary, and finish with a Device, which is the likes of a grenade or mine.






Here's each category and the best XDefiant weapon loadout for it:



Assault



(Screenshot via esports.gg)




Weapon: ACR 6.8

Barrel: Recon



Front Rail: Handstop



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Quick Mag



Rear Grip: Heavy Grip





Secondary Weapon: M9

Muzzle: Brake



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Fast Mag



Rear Grip: Leather Wrapped





Device: Frag Grenade




This XDefiant loadout is all about staying in the game. The ACR is definitely the top Assault-class weapon available. The chosen attachments boost its accuracy, allowing for clean shots, and up its ammo capacity so you can keep on shooting.



The secondary is simple enough. The M9 is a reliable sidearm, and if you need to finish the job, this version will make it easy for you to swap it out and land your shots. Then go with a Frag for the Device to cause some havoc.



SMG

Weapon: MP7

Front Rail: Tactical



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Quick Mag



Rear Grip: Grip Tape



Stock: Padded





Secondary Weapon: M1911

Muzzle: Barrel Extender



Optics: Reflex



Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip





Device: Flashbang




The MP7 is arguably the best all-around SMG in XDefiant, and this loadout improves upon that
