Where to dance in front of birthday cakes in Fortnite

By

Believe it or not, Fortnite: Battle Royale is now two years old. Since the summer of 2017, the game has amassed an overwhelming player base and immense popularity. In honor of Fortnite’s second anniversary, the island in Battle Royale is covered in festive decorations as Epic Games hosts yet another birthday event where players can participate in new limited-time modes, birthday-themed challenges, and more. This is in addition to the overtime challenges also happening right now.

This challenge can take you a bit. You’ll have to find 10 different birthday cakes in total, and that requires you to visit various locations on the Battle Royale map. You not only have to visit and dance in front of 10 birthday cakes but they each must be in unique locations that you haven’t visited yet in a match.

We recommend that you do this in Team Rumble so you have more time to complete this challenge. We also suggest finding a vehicle as soon as you can or use the slipstream in the middle of the island so you can travel quickly between the areas.

Fortnite birthday cake location: Junk Junction

The first location we recommend you visit is Junk Junction. In the center of this named area, you will find a large birthday cake with numerous layers as seen in the screenshot above.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Pleasant Park

The next location of the next birthday cake is Pleasant Park. If you’re heading there from Junk Junction, you’ll want to travel southeast. When you get there, head to the center of the town and look for the pavilion north of the soccer field. You will find the next birthday cake on the western side of it.

Fortnite birthday cake location: Loot Lake

The third birthday cake can be found directly east of the second location towards Loot Lake. It’s electrified at the moment, alluding to the upcoming launch of season 10. The birthday cake you’re looking for can be found on the northern side of the lake. Look for a small hill made of rocks and the third birthday cake will be right on top of it.

Fortnite birthday cake location: Viking Village

This fourth birthday cake is going to be in the center of the Viking Village. Head southwest to the unnamed location atop the large mountain near Snobby Shores. When you land, build yourself a ramp or walk up the mountain, and head to the center of the village where you’ll find the next birthday cake.

Fortnite birthday cake location: Shifty Shafts

To get to this fifth location, travel slightly southeast from the Viking Village to Shifty Shafts. Once there, find the eastern gate and head inside. You will see the next birthday cake right at the entrance. With that done, we are now halfway finished with this challenge.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Salty Springs

This sixth birthday cake location is rather easy to find. From Shifty Shafts, head directly east until you reach Salty Springs. You’ll find a birthday cake waiting for you in the center of this little far town.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Fatal Fields

The seventh birthday cake location can be found just south of Salty Springs in the farm of Fatal Fields. Just like Salty Springs, all you need to do is head to the center of the town near the barns and you will find the birthday cake.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Lonely Lodge

The final three locations are very close to one another and you will likely need to head into another match for these. Head to Lonely Lodge on the eastern side of the island, then travel to the middle of the forest area where there is a large rock. You will need to land there or build your way up to the top, and there you will find the birthday cake.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Racetrack

The next birthday cake location is south from Lonely Lodge, in the desert. There you will find an unnamed location with a race track on the edge of the desert. Head to this racetrack and look for a little hill on the western side of the racetrack. Atop this tiny hill is the birthday cake.

Fortnite birthday cake locations: Paradise Palms

The final birthday cake can be found south of the racetrack location. It isn’t actually in Paradise Palms but to the east of it. There is a small cliff overlooking the city on one side and the ocean on the other. Atop the cliff are some solar power panels and in between them is a birthday cake hidden from view. You’ll need to build a ramp to up to reach it.

Fortnite birthday cake reward

And, it doesn’t stop there. If you can complete all four Fortnite birthday challenges, you will receive the Birthday Slice unique pickaxe as a nice addition to your collection.

The best Power Armor in Fallout 4 and where to find each set
Fallout 4 key art featuring the power armor suit hung up in an armory.

From the very first Fallout game, the Power Armor has been every wastelander's dream to pilot. This hulking suit of armor can make your normally squishy Vault Dweller nigh unkillable in Fallout 4. But there's more than just one type of Power Armor, and each one has different stats and requirements to wear. Not only that, but some you might find one piece at a time and need to build yourself, while others can be found as a complete set. If you want to make even a Deathclaw think twice about attacking you, only the best Power Armor will do. Here are the best suits in Fallout 4 and where to find them.
Raider Power Armor

This is the only Power Armor in Fallout 4 that even a base-level player can wear right off the bat. While that's great, it does mean it's the weakest option out there. The best stats you can get with it are 500 damage resistance, 250 energy resistance, and 1,050 radiation resistance for a total rating of 1,800. It's great for the early game if you can snag one, but is quickly outclassed by everything else on this list. A guaranteed spawn for this armor is in the cave right beside Skylanes Flight 1665 on your map.

How many skins are in Fortnite?
Fortnite characters by a car.

With each new Fortnite season comes a slew of new cosmetics to earn through the Battle Pass or to purchase in the item shop. With the game being out for nearly six years, the number of skins in the game has grown to absurd levels. No longer will you run into a match of solo players wearing similar skins. Between regular releases of skins and special event skins involving IPs like Star Wars, Street Fighter, Marvel, and more, every player has a very unique locker full of cosmetics to bust out in a given match.

These days, it's almost more likely you'll run into a skin you've never seen before than a player using the same one as you!
