How to unlock the Master Chief skin in Fortnite

As revealed during The Game Awards 2020, Halo’s Master Chief has come to Fortnite, and you can unlock the character now. Master Chief joins Kratos as a console-exclusive mascot, though you can get his outfit and items across any platform. It’s absolutely wild to play as the iconic Xbox character on a PlayStation or Nintendo Switch.

Unlocking the character’s outfit works the same way as it did with Kratos, though if you’re new to Fortnite or haven’t played in a while, you might be unsure of how to get it. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through how to unlock Master Chief and all of his items in Fortnite.

To unlock Master Chief’s skin and items, you must purchase them with V-bucks, the in-game currency. Right when you start the game on December 11, 2020, you’ll likely see advertisements for the character all over the place. As you can see in the image above, a timer is counting down, indicating the character’s availability. That means you only have today to get your hands on the Chief’s skin and items, so you’ll have to act fast.

Here, we’ll list all of the bundles you can purchase, along with their V-buck prices. Keep in mind, you can either earn V-bucks in-game by leveling up your battle pass, or by purchasing them with real money. A thousand V-bucks is equal to around $8 or so.

  • Master Chief – Outfit
  • Battle Legend — Back Bling
  • Gravity Hammer – Harvesting Tool
  • UNSC Pelican — Glider
  • Lil’ Warthog — Emote

This bundle has everything Master Chief-related, from the outfit to an emote and glider. If you buy everything as a bundle, you do save a bit of money instead of buying the items individually. If you don’t have V-bucks left over, you’ll have to spend around $20 to get this bundle.

This is the least expensive option for getting the Master Chief outfit. It comes with that and the Battle Legend Back Bling piece.

And those are all the options you have for buying Master Chief’s Outfit and gear in Fortnite. Unfortunately, it seems that if you miss buying the character on December 11, you might not have any other opportunities to acquire him later on. In the past, licensed characters have been limited to one day of availability. Now that iconic PlayStation and Xbox mascots have been added to Fortnite, many suspect we’ll get a Nintendo character next week — perhaps Mario or Link from Zelda.

How to get every ending in Lords of the Fallen
The Lords of the Fallen undead scene.

Soulslike games love to have multiple endings that are just as cryptic and mysterious as the overall story is to unlock. Lords of the Fallen borrows this same idea in addition to the huge swath of weapons and gear to hunt down and experiment with. It will be tough enough for most players to just reach the end of this punishing game, but for those who are looking to go the extra mile, there are multiple endings with very specific requirements that lock away some very appealing rewards. The process of getting a new ending is far more difficult than answering a question or choosing a dialogue option at the end of the game. It will take quite a bit of preparation, so we'll detail exactly how you can get each ending in Lords of the Fallen and what it will give you.
All Lords of the Fallen endings

There are three unique endings you can unlock in Lords of the Fallen known as the Radiance, Inferno, and Umbral endings. All three are tied to a Trophy/Achievement, plus unlock a new class.
Radiance ending
We'll start with the most basic ending that you will probably get by default. The Radiance ending is unlocked if you cleanse all of the beacons, which is your explicit goal, and then move along the main path and beat all the bosses.

How to change suits in Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man soars through the air in a biomechanical suit in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Everyone knows the iconic Spider-Man suit. The red-and-blue spandex uniform has been iterated on and altered hundreds of times over the course of decades, leading to some similar and some very different designs. Spider-Man 2 introduces Venom and the symbiote suit to the mix as a plot point, but there are almost 70 total suits from various comics, shows, and movies to unlock and wear between Peter pParker and Miles Morales. Unlocking them is one thing, but changing between them, and their new styles, is another. With this guide, you will be able to change your spider style as fast as our heroes when duty calls.
How to change suits

Once you've snagged your first additional suit and used some Tokens to unlock it, changing between them is a breeze. Simply open your menu, go to the Suits tab, and highlight the one you want to wear. If you want to switch between Peter and Miles, simply hit L2 or R2 to cycle between the Spider-Men since each has their own unique set of suit options. Press X on the suit you want to wear and -- bam! -- your Spider-Man is now decked out in a new style. However, that's not all. Many suits have additional styles you can unlock by spending some Tech Parts. These give you three additional color options for that specific suit to further customize your look.

Peter and Miles standing on a bridge

In the decades that the character of Spider-Man has existed, through comics, TV shows, games, and movies, he's gone through quite a few suits. Spider-Man 2 keeps the tradition alive by not only giving him a new suit to try out, but dozens and dozens of older ones to let you play as your favorite version of the webslinger. Oh, and did we mention Miles has his own extensive set of suits as well? Just like the first game, you won't be handed the keys to the wardrobe for free. Each suit not only needs to be unlocked but also crafted using City and Hero Tokens, as well as Tech parts to get access to the additional styles most suits have. If you're itching to dress up as the Spider-Man of your dreams as soon as you can, here is every suit in Spider-Man 2 and how you unlock them.

Note: Some suits are unlocked via story progress and could be considered spoilers. You have been warned.
