Fortnite challenge guide: Craft a Hunter’s Cloak

By

With the start of a new Fortnite season comes a slew of new features, and for season 6, there’s plenty to do. One of the new features is the implementation of wild animals throughout the world. Some are friendly, while others … not so much. Season 6 also includes a new crafting mechanic, and one of the new challenges requires you to create an item called a Hunter’s Cloak. This item is extremely useful when navigating through areas packed with wild animals.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps on creating this item, and we’ll include a few tips to make it easier for you. Here’s how to craft a Hunter’s Cloak in Fortnite.

We go into more detail about animal bones and crafting in our guide here, but for the purposes of this post, the main thing you need to know is that you have to eliminate a boar or wolf to gather the resources to complete this challenge. These creatures are found around the map in various places, but if you want a sure-fire way to find them, check the western side of Weeping Woods. Here, you’ll come across packs of wolves — just make sure you’re well equipped to take them out since they deal high damage and can quickly overtake you if you aren’t prepared.

Animals are found everywhere, but just make sure you eliminate the larger mammals to get the resources you need.

For this challenge, you’re looking for two items: Animal bones (2) and meat (1). Taking out one wolf will do the trick, so grab a weapon and eliminate one, then get to safety so you can craft. It helps if you have a team with you so they can watch your back and protect you while you craft.

After you’ve gathered two animal bones and one meat, press up on the D-pad and tab over to the Crafting menu. Here, you should see Hunter’s Cloak as an option, so press Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, or Y on Nintendo Switch to craft the item. After you’ve crafted it, you’ll complete the challenge and gain 24,000 XP.

You might be wondering what this item does. Since some of the animals are hostile, this item is particularly useful, as it throws off their scent. You can apply it to your character when approaching a wild pack of wolves so they don’t attack you. This is a great idea so you don’t waste ammo and resources trying to fight them, and so you don’t give away your position. Depending on your playstyle and the areas you like to visit, this may or may not be a smart tactic, but it’s nice to know using a Hunter’s Cloak is an option, at least.

Concord beginners guide: 5 tips to get started
A sniper from Concord leaping in the air.

Shooters have evolved to the point where simply having good aim isn't enough to dominate a match anymore. Games like Concord have all embraced the hero shooter genre and done away with the generic characters we played in games like the original Halos and Call of Dutys. Beyond learning the unique characters, there are the maps, modes, and little intricacies you have to pick up on to fully master the game. Jumping into Concord, you might think just finding your main and running games will be fine, but there's a bit more going on under the hood and systems that you will want to understand that the game isn't all that clear about. Let's get you ready to be the next best Freegunner in the galaxy with these tips and tricks.
Experiment with your characters

Concord has 16 Freegunners to pick from, which is a bit daunting. The developers did a great job making each one unique, but they are also not very well organized in terms of knowing which falls into which role. Unlike Overwatch, which clearly divides its roster into roles, you need to read and experiment with characters to understand how they fit into the flow of combat. Give each character a few runs to really test out, and ideally try them in different game modes as well. Some characters are far more useful in objective game types than in pure deathmatch types. Make sure you also don't just stick to one character you like and that's it. Each character can only be used on a team once, so if someone else picks them first, you'll be out of luck, but there are also two more strong reasons to have a small handful of characters you're comfortable with we'll get to later.

Minecraft potions guide: how to brew and enhance potions
A villager looks at a sunset.

If you think about it, mixing potions isn't all that different from mixing materials to make items in Minecraft. That is just conceptually speaking because the act of brewing potions is not nearly as simple or straightforward as just organizing a couple of sticks and stones in a grid. Potions require a bit more nuance and preparation to make, but the effects they can have are quite literally game-changing.

There's a lot you need to do to get started mixing up your own potions, and once you have the tools required, there's no instruction manual on how to make the dozens of possible potions, let alone the best ones. If you want to allow yourself to walk through lava and see in the dark without the use of mods, check out this full potions guide.

Zenless Zone Zero beginner’s guide: tips and tricks to get started
The cast of Zenless Zone Zero poses.

Whether you've been looking forward to the latest game from HoYoverse, saw that hype music video with DJ Tiesto, or are just in the market for a new free-to-play action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero has all the style and action you could hope for.

Unlike the developer's previous projects, this game is set in a postapocalyptic city called New Eridu that is under siege by interdimensional monsters called Ethereal. Your character is a Proxy who must venture through portals to fight the Ethereal and find resources to keep humanity alive. The game does share some elements with previous HoYoverse titles, but plays very differently than the likes of Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail. To help you get a leg up on the Ethereal, take note of these tips when getting started.
