How to get the Dragon Ball skins

Fortnite x Dragon Ball Gameplay Trailer

To acquire the various Dragon Ball skins, you’ll have to purchase them from the Item Shop. While there are in-game challenges that reward players with certain Dragon Ball cosmetics, the only way to get your hands on the characters themselves is to buy them with V-bucks.

Remember, V-bucks are unlocked via the seasonal battle pass and can be purchased with real money, too. So, hopefully, you have plenty of extra V-bucks lying around from a previous battle pass. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend your hard-earned cash to get your hands on the latest Dragon Ball characters.

In terms of the skins themselves, you’ll have the ability to buy Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Beerus, with plenty of cosmetics that accompany each. All the characters are available individually or as part of bundles, so make sure to take a look at everything first before making your purchase.

Below are the cosmetics available as of August 16, 2022.

When does the new Fortnite season start?

Every new season in Fortnite is a massive event. While not quite on the scale of a new Chapter, seasons still bring about a ton of changes to the ever-evolving battle royale phenomenon to keep players engaged. New skins, abilities, missions, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of new content. If one season doesn't quite hit for you, or if you've already crushed all the content there was and are eagerly awaiting the next season's start, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let's dive into when you can expect the next season of Fortnite to begin.When does the next Fortnite season start?We are currently in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, meaning the next season will be Chapter 5 Season 3. The season will roll over at 2 a.m PT on May 24, 2024. Keep in mind that there is always a period of downtime between seasons as Epic updates the game and gets it ready for whatever new content and themes will be included. So while that 2 a.m. time should be accurate for when the season will end, we can't be 100% certain about when the servers will be back up and you can actually start playing season 3. We have no official word on what the next Fortnite season's theme will be, nor have there been any credible leaks. If we hear anything on what to expect on May 24, we will keep you in the loop.

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.
