In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the long-awaited and teased outfit “Dark Bomber” has finally appeared. The “Dark Bomber” is the “Evil Version” of the cheerful Bright Bomber and, contrary to all assumptions, a real bargain.

Who or what is a “Dark Bomber”? Behind this strange name lies not a new stealth bomber from the Air Force, but rather the “evil version” of the outfit “Bright Bomber” (Brite Bomber).

And what is the “Bright Bomber”? The Bright Bomber is one of the iconic skins from Fortnite and features a cheerful young woman with colorful hair and a rainbow-colored outfit. She wields a fun llama head as a pickaxe and is always in a good mood, even when she is blasting you away.

In the bonus pictures for the Road Trip Challenge from Season 5, the cheerful young lady was seen in every picture, having fun alongside the Fox Head Guy Rift.

From Color to Darkness

The evil clone of the good Bomber: The Dark Bomber, however, is the evil twin sister of the Bright Bomber. The Dark Bomber first appeared in the final image of Season 5, where the Bright Bomber touched the purple cube. Instead of her reflection, viewers saw the sinisterly grinning Dark Bomber as a sort of evil clone in the cube.

Theories about the Dark Bomber: Fans speculated back then that the “Evil Bright Bomber” would become a new skin. They considered various options, including a variant of the good Bomber that could be unlocked in special challenges. Perhaps even for Halloween and then for several well-known skins.

In the end, nothing came of it; the “Dark Bomber” is simply another skin from the shop.

Dark Bomber in the Shop – Cheaper than Expected

Rare instead of Legendary: The disappointment that the Dark Bomber is not tied to a cool event may be somewhat mitigated when considering her price.

Because just like her good twin sister, the Dark Bomber is merely a skin of the “Rare” quality level. Therefore, it costs “only” 1,200 V-Bucks, which is about 12 Euros.

Epic mostly sells new skins, especially elaborate ones like the Dark Bomber, for at least 15, if not 20 Euros!

Is there more? Indeed, because Epic has granted the Dark Bomber a whole set of items:

• Whoever buys the skin gets a matching backpack. It looks like an evil version of the backpack of the Bright Bomber.
• The Dark Bomber can get a matching pickaxe called “Thunderhoof” for another 1,200 V-Bucks. It is an evil version of the llama head that the Bright Bomber swings.
• If they still want, they can get the relatively boring glider “Glyph of Darkness” to complete the set. The glider is just a generic glider with dark glyphs on it. It costs 500 V-Bucks (5 Euros).

Will there be more “Evil Skins”? Officially, we don’t know anything, but one can assume that at least the “Color Gunner”, the male version of the Bright Bomber, will get an evil twin. He will likely be called “Dark Gunner” in keeping with tradition.

What do you think of the Dark Bomber? Will you buy her?

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is a bonus star in week 2 of Season 6 again. We will show you the secret location where you can find the star. But be careful, this week the star is a banner.

Once again, Epic has hidden a small hint in an image for Season 6 in Fortnite that is supposed to lead players to a special star. At least, that’s what players thought so far. Now it is clear that in week 2 of Season 6, it is again a banner that you will find.

Requirement for the banner: In order to find the banner, you first need to complete all challenges from week 2. The tasks from week 2 in Season 6 of Fortnite are listed here for you.

Throughout the season, more images will be released each week showing hints to new, hidden stars and banners.

What is it about? With these special images and hints, Epic refers to the story of the cowgirl and monster hunter Calamity.

Here you will find the secret star that is a banner

Here you should search: The tip for the search can be found in the following image. There you see the battle pass skin “Saddled”, who is currently playing with fireflies. In the foreground and background are evil werewolves lurking for their prey. The hint is given by the firefly on the far right. It illuminates the special spot of the image.

What can you see? On the tree in the background, you can recognize a small drawing that represents a wagon. And as you probably already know, your journey now leads to Paradise Palms.

Where exactly? North of Paradise Palms, in the right curve, the wagon stands in a blocked area. Just walk to this spot and climb onto the wagon to find the banner.

Is there a video too? To help you see the exact spot where the banner is hidden, we will embed a video guide here for you.

Beware of campers: You are not the only ones who know the secret location of the banner. So watch out for other players who want to ambush you treasure hunters.

In your matches, you can now also find shadow stones in Fortnite again – but without bugs?

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, sticky grenades are usually deadly. However, there seems to be a trick to survive the lethal grenade without a scratch.

What are sticky grenades? Unlike the shock grenade, which is mainly intended to throw enemies out of cover, sticky grenades are deadly devices. When thrown at an opponent, they stick there and explode after a short time.

The damage exceeds 100 points, which kills any opponent without shields immediately. Thus, the sticky grenade is a death sentence, and if it’s stuck to your body, you are doomed. You can’t get rid of it. At least, that’s what one thought until a player found a solution.

How to survive the sticky grenade and get rid of it

On Reddit, the user mrCodebot posted a GIF showing how to disarm the sticky grenade. The player “Cute Entity” gets hit sneakily by a sticky grenade.

Player avoids death by grenade: Like a startled chicken, he runs around panicked, unwilling to accept his certain death. He has no shields, and the grenade would definitely kill him.

Pyramid as cover: Whether intentionally or by chance, Cute Entity eventually builds a pyramid in the room. He anxiously hides behind it, and the grenade goes off! But miraculously, Cute Entity emerges unscathed.

How did the player survive the grenade explosion? If you look closely at the embedded video from Reddit, you’ll notice that the grenade is hovering somewhat away from the player in midair.

And the pyramid, where Cute Entity is taking cover, had its walls exactly between the bomb and the player. As usual in Fortnite, walls negate explosions and protect anyone behind them.

Thus, this spatial separation of target and grenade by the pyramid made the explosion harmless.

Bug, exploit or feature?

Is this trick legitimate? Indeed, it is unclear whether the grenade disarming is a legitimate means against sticky grenades. Most likely, Epic did not intend for the bombs to be negated like this.

It will remain to be seen whether Epic will nerf this measure soon or keep it in the game.
