How to unlock the Daryl Dixon and Michonne skins in Fortnite

Over the course of its life cycle, Fortnite has been home to a wide variety of memorable characters, including Deadpool, Master Chief, and Kratos. Joining the impressive lineup are Daryl Dixon and Michonne from The Walking Dead. This duo of characters was originally announced during The Game Awards 2020, and are finally available to all players now.

However, it might not be entirely clear how to obtain them. Luckily, we’re here to help with that. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about obtaining the Daryl Dixon and Michonne skins in Fortnite.

  • Michonne — Outfit
  • Michonne’s Katana — Back Bling
  • Michonne’s Katana — Harvesting Tool
  • Daryl Dixon — Outfit
  • Hunting Quiver — Back Bling
  • Daryl’s Knives — Harvesting Tool

As with most Fortnite skins, you must purchase them using V-bucks, which serve as the game’s currency. Luckily, you can unlock V-bucks by leveling up your Battle Pass. Every six or seven levels, the game awards you with 100 V-bucks for free. Otherwise, if you don’t have enough, you’ll need to purchase V-bucks using real money. Remember, 2,800 V-bucks is equal to around $20.

In the case of Daryl Dixon and Michonne, the best option to acquire both of them is the Survivors in Arms bundle, which comes with both outfits, one additional style each, one Back Bling each, and both of the character’s Harvesting Tools. Based on the countdown timer, it appears like this set will only be available today, December 17, 2020, and might be the only chance you have to get them. Sometimes, however, at the end of a season, Epic Games re-releases characters that you can purchase if you might’ve missed them earlier on. That might be the case with these two skins, though it hasn’t been officially announced.

If you’re looking for just one or the other, you’ll want to purchase them individually for 1,800 V-bucks. Each will come with their Back Bling and Harvesting Tool, along with their additional style. Though, if you want both characters, you should just buy the bundle.

Michonne — 1,800 V-bucks

This pack is available for those who just want the Michonne skin.

Remember, these skins are simply cosmetic and have no impact on the gameplay. The same is true for the Back Bling and Harvesting Tool. Fortnite’s season 5 just started and has already included several iconic characters, leaving many to believe we’ll see even more later on. We got Master Chief from Halo representing Xbox, and Kratos from God of War representing PlayStation. Will we see a famous Nintendo character appear, as well?

How to get and use the metal detector in Atomfall

Atomfall is a completely open-ended RPG. After a quick intro, you are free to go and do almost anything you want within the zone to find a way out. Instead of quests, the game features investigations that require a lot more thought and observation to solve compared to other games that simply give you a quest marker to follow. Even some of the major items in the game, like the metal detector, can be completely missed if you don't happen to find one. This tool can help you grab a lot of valuable supplies in the wilderness, which you will constantly be in need of. We won't be as cryptic as Atomfall and give you specific directions on how to get and use the metal detector.
How to get and use the metal detector

There are multiple ways to get almost everything ing Atomfall, including the metal detector. However, the first and easiest way to get one is to go to the village of Wyndham. Unless you've pissed off the wrong people, this is a peaceful location where you can find the majority of the game's traders.

How long is Atomfall?
An enemy in Atomfall.

With an RPG that claims to be as deep and dynamic as Atomfall, questions about its length are sure to come up. While it isn't a fully open-world game, you will be exploring giant hubs with little direction from the game on what to investigate or when. Structurally, Atomfall shares a lot of DNA with Fallout, but those are some of the longest RPGs on the market. If you're curious how much time you could end up sinking into this title, we'll break down how long it might take you to see the end.
How long is Atomfall?

The trouble with estimating how long Atomfall will take is that it is very much up to you as a player. For example, there is an Achievement in the game for beating it in under 5 hours. Accomplishing that almost necessitates prior knowledge, though, but does demonstrate how quickly you could reach the end if you tried. In our experience, we were able to beat the game in a mostly focused playthrough in about 8 hours. That was us mainly ignoring optional quests and other possible paths to an ending and focusing squarely on one. There is also a high degree of variability based on combat and how quickly you can figure out where to go based on the game's general lack of waypoints guiding you to objectives.
