How to get the T-800 and Sarah Connor skins in Fortnite

The latest licensed characters to be implemented into Fortnite are Sarah Connor and the T-800 from The Terminator series. These characters have become available just shortly after the implementation of The Predator, which you can also acquire right now. Though, The Terminator skins are handled differently in terms of acquiring them in-game. With that in mind, you might be wondering how to get the new Sarah Connor and the T-800 character skins.

In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about obtaining the Sarah Connor and the T-800 skins and their cosmetics in Fortnite.

Unlike the recent Predator skin, the only way to obtain Sarah Connor and the T-800 cosmetics is to purchase them with V-bucks. Starting on January 21, 2021, the characters have been made available to buy from within Fortnite’s item shop. When you boot up the game, you’ll encounter a new Terminator-themed cutscene to celebrate the characters. These skins are only available for a limited time so act quickly if you want to get your hands on them. There are multiple Terminator bundles ranging from individual skins to Back Bling cosmetics and more.

Remember, V-bucks are the currency used in Fortnite and can be earned by leveling up the Battle Pass, or by purchasing with real money. If you still have V-bucks lying around from earlier in the season or from a previous one, you’ll be able to put them toward the purchase of the new Terminator skins. Otherwise, you’ll have to fork out real cash. Keep in mind, 1,000 V-bucks is equal to around $8.

Below are the various Terminator bundles you can buy.

Future War Bundle — 2,800 V-bucks

  • Combat Knife — Harvesting Tool
  • Techno-Grip Axe — Harvesting Tool
  • Cyberdyne Salute — Emote

This bundle will give you the most bang for your buck and costs 2,800 V-bucks. It comes with everything available as part of the Terminator set, including both skins, Back Bling cosmetics, and Harvesting Tools. Though, if you’re only wanting one individual character, there are other options.

If you just want Sarah Connor, this is the least expensive option for you. It’ll come with Connor herself, a Back Bling, and Harvesting Tool for 1,800 V-bucks.

T-800 — 1,500 V-bucks

  • HK Skynet Uplink — Back Bling

The same goes for the T-800. This one is a little less expensive at 1,500 V-bucks since it only comes with the skin and a Back Bling.

Techno-Grip Axe — 800 V-bucks

Or if you just want the Techno-Grip Axe Harvesting Tool, this can be yours for 800 V-bucks.

Cyberdyne Salute — 300 V-bucks

  • Cyberdyne Salute — Emote

Finally, you can grab the stand-alone Cyberdyne Salute emote for 300 V-bucks.

As with most skins, these are only available for a limited time, and it’s unclear if they’ll make a reappearance like some skins have in the past. To be safe, it’s best to grab them while you can.

How to get Coal in Palworld
A player overlooking the landscape in Palworld.

Even in an early access state, Palworld boasts a massive world map you can explore either solo or with a group of friends. While there are tons of sights to see and Pals to capture and put to work at your base, a major portion of your time will be spent on gathering crafting materials. Unlike Paldium, which can be found all over, other resources like coal can't be found in any region of the map. If you were thinking you might be able to cheat the system a bit and simply buy some, guess again, because no vendor has any of these black lumps in stock, even the Black Marketeers. If you're desperate for some coal, we can point you in the right direction.
Where to find coal

Coal can only be mined from large deposits of the stuff in the open world of Palworld. While you might think it would be found underground, in reality, you need to head north to the desert region. Of course, being such a hot climate means that you will need to have heat-resistant gear so you can survive out there long enough to get your hands on the stuff.

Fortnite is coming back to iOS, but Epic Games still isn’t happy about it
Solid Snake aiming a pistol out of a box in Fortnite.

Fortnite is set to come back to iOS in Europe sometime in 2024. This will mark the first time a natively running version of Fortnite will be available on iOS since Apple removed the game from the App Store in 2020.

Apple did so at the time because Epic tried to use its own third-party payment system, kicking off a series of legal battles in an attempt to get Apple to open up its platform more. Although those legal battles have yielded mixed results for Epic, a newly passed Digital Markets Act in the European Union is forcing Apple to do things like "allow third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services in certain specific situations" and "allow their business users to promote their offer and conclude contracts with their customers outside the gatekeeper’s platform."
