The error “Checking Epic Services Queue” pops up when trying to enter a game. It could be a momentary error that could stay for minutes before promptly going to the island. Most often, the error relates to the Epic Games servers. They could be down due to an error or for maintenance. Alternatively, your Epic Games launcher or the game itself may have a bug. You need to understand that you’re not facing anything serious, so your PC isn’t the culprit. So, let’s get down to how you can fix it. Check the Epic Games Server Status The most common…

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 has added skins and mechanics from various anime. Sadly, neither the Deku Skin nor the Deku Smash Mythic weapon is available at the moment. However, the in-game store updates every 24 hours, and Epic Games change the items every time—Izuku Midoriya could return anytime! Currently, though, and as part of the new update, you can buy Levi and Mikasa Akerman skins (from Attack on Titan) on the item shop. You can also have Eren Jaeger skins, plus generic Paradis soldiers skins if you buy the Battle Pass. That said, there’re no free skins available on…

Fortnite might be free, but buying V-Bucks and the Battle Pass can be expensive. Perhaps you have reached a breaking point and want some of the money you have spent on Fortnite back. But, is it possible? In December 2022, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) forced Epic Games to issue refunds to any players asking for their money back. The group fined Epic Games 500 million USD in the legal battle against Fortnite because of its addictive quality and how it easily entices younger users to buy cosmetics. Currently, there’re two methods to refund in Fortnite. The first method is…

You can get the Overclocked Pulse Rifle as a reward for claiming the Loot Island’s Capture Point. In Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, the Loot Island is the floating area that spawns at a random location at the later stages of a match. If you want an Overclocked Pulse Rifle for yourself, follow the guide and watch the video at the end. Where to Find Loot Island? Loot Island is a floating island that spawns randomly on the map but mainly around the center. In Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, the island appears at the 4th storm cycle. By that…

There’re Vaults on the Fortnite island—the place where you can find Mythic and legendary weapons, ammo, health, juice, keys, and other useful tools. For example, the high-level items I’ve found the most are a Legendary Slap Juice and the Enhanced Havoc Shotgun—a mythic weapon that may deal 155 points of damage per hit. You need a Vault Keycard to enter a Vault, and that is not something to loot. Rather, you take it from particular enemy NPCs. Then, you can use the keycard to find and open the Vault. There’s another secret Vault on the island, and you need regular…

Fortnite is a fast-paced third-person shooter. You jump, dive, run, build, shoot, and loot while trying to survive the Battle Royale. Not many players think of crouching, but with it, you’ll quickly boost your accuracy and survivability. It allows you to take cover behind structures, which can save you from bullets. You can shoot more accurately, go faster, chase enemies, escape, and have tons of fun in snowy areas. On PC The default button for crouching on a PC is the Left-CTRL key. Pressing the button makes your character enter the Crouch state. You’d have to press the Left-CTRL button again to…

Every Fortnite update includes new and unknown mechanics. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season One has special chickens running around, which you can pursue to find “Easter Eggs.”  These chickens and eggs are part of the Spring Breakout Event, which has an Easter theme. The event debuted in February 2023, and it includes new challenges, rewards, skins, weapons, and other elements. Particularly, the event rolls out a new challenge every morning at 9 AM ET/6 AM PT. One of the recurrent quests is collecting golden eggs. However, you may collect the Eastern Eggs as part of a challenge or to get random rewards. Laid…

No mercy for the enemies; don’t let anyone escape. Either playing alone or as part of a team, you can mark the enemies you see and follow them until one of the two dies. It’s an amazing tool for teamwork, as it allows the entire team to be aware of nearby threats. And it’s also useful when you’re playing alone, as you’d prevent enemies from building walls to escape, sneak, or reposition for a headshot. Aside from the classic ping mechanic, you can also mark enemies with other tools or by completing challenges on the Battle Royale’s island. Now, a Ping…

Using an Aimbot in Fortnite is an illegal practice. Third-party software that alters the game in any way may ban your account. And while it’s illegal, you can use them. However, you must buy the software, install it on your Windows PC, and hope for the best. Even some popular Fortnite content creators, such as Faze Jarvis, have used Aimbot software on their videos. He was banned from Fortnite afterward, and he has mostly disappeared from social media since. However, Epic Games is making hacks increasingly difficult, and they take severe steps against those that do. For example, if you visit…

One of the mechanics of Fortnite Chapter 4 is the “Capture Points.” You can gain these points by visiting different areas of interest on the map. You can then use these points to gain an advantage in multiplayer matches. Standard rewards for claiming Capture Points are loot, marking enemies in nearby areas, and similar. Additionally, it gives you XP for your Battle Pass, as Capture Points are part of the “Weekly Quest” mechanic. The problem is that the game doesn’t give you specific directions on where to go or what to do to get these points. Moreover, claiming these areas…
