Overall, this is one of the most varied lists of challenges that we have seen in a long time. There are a few brand new ones as well, including the latest dancing challenge. Players are tasked with dancing at rainbow rentals, a beach bus, and a lake canoe. Here’s how to do it.

For this challenge, players are tasked with finding three different locations on the island and dancing at them. Before we get into the locations of these landmarks, there are some tips that you should know going into it.

For one, you don’t have to dance at all three locations in the same match but they are all required for completing the challenge. This means that you can take your time and just aim for at least one per match and you can get this done rather quickly.

You should also do this in the Team Rumble mode per usual as it offers respawns, more time to explore, and fewer enemies to worry about. If you really want to get this done quickly, feel free to turn on Party Assist and your teammates can complete it with you.

There are three spots that we need to head to: Rainbow rentals, the beach bus, and a lake canoe. These are very specific spots that are known as landmarks on the island. You can look at our map above for the general location of the required places and find a detailed look below.

The first spot that we need to head to is found directly southwest of Holly Hedges. There is a small beach in this area that is also west of Weeping Woods and northwest of Slurpy Swamp.

Rainbow rentals is a row of different colored beach houses. Get close enough to the center house and do whatever dance emote you like to complete the first part of this challenge.

Beach bus location

The next location is the beach bus. This retired battle bus can be found on a small beach just west of Steamy Stacks. There is a small beach here where you will find this old bus. Like before, all you need to do is get close enough to the landmark and then do a little dance emote.

Lake canoe location

The third and final location that we need to dance at is lake canoe. This isn’t just any canoe either as it is an actual landmark location of a large lake that has a ton of canoes around it. It is located on the eastern side of the map north of Retail Row and southwest of Dirty Docks.

This is a larger area than the other two landmarks so we do recommend heading to the center island of the little lake and doing your dance there. This will ensure that the dance counts for the challenge so you don’t waste your time. Look for the notifications in the top left corner of the screen that you completed it.

Fortnite rainbow rentals dance challenge reward

Like the challenges last week and every other week in chapter 2, season 1, the rewards are all the same for most challenges. You will get 52,000 experience for completing the rainbow rentals challenge and for all of the other basic ones. However, if you do at least nine of them, you will also unlock the new gold style for the 8-Ball skin.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo's LOQ 17 gets a new RTX 5070 12GB graphics option
LOQ 17 gaming laptop

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.

Lenovo’s new thin-and-light handheld leaves out one crucial detail
This tiny Legion handheld puts the cloud in your hands

Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams.

Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost--and that's cloud gaming.
