How to watch Travis Scott’s in-game concert in Fortnite

Rapper and songwriter Travis Scott will debut a brand new track on Fortnite, with in-game concerts that are expected to draw massive numbers of players.

The Astronomical event will run from April 23 to April 25 and is inspired by the creations of Cactus Jack, which is the record label founded by Scott in 2017.

There are five showtimes to allow Fortnite players around the world to participate:

  • April 23, 7 p.m. ET
  • April 24, 10 a.m. ET
  • April 25, midnight ET
  • April 25, 11 a.m. ET
  • April 25, 6 p.m. ET

“Doors open” 30 minutes before each show, so players should come in early to secure their spot. Once capacity is reached, players will need to catch the next time slot.

Posters for Astronomical have started appearing in the game, with a UFO that looks to be made entirely out of speakers flying in the sky. Epic Games has not yet confirmed where the shows will be held, but players have spotted a stage under construction on an island near Sweaty Sands.

Scott is also the newest addition to Fortnite‘s Icon Series, allowing players to secure his skins and other cosmetics in the game’s Item Shop starting April 21. The game will also roll out a set of Astronomical challenges, with rewards that include a new Travis Scott spray, profile picture, and emote.

The best places to land in Fortnite right now
Character landing in Fortnite.

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're an expert player, your likelihood of coming out on top is greatly diminished if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be at a barren location with no loot or a hot drop that could lead to a swift death. As part of Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 3, there's no shortage of fantastic landing spots, but which one you choose comes down to your skill and preference, and you're going to want to pick the right one if you want to win Fortnite. So join us as we show you the best Fortnite landing spots for veterans, beginners, and everyone in-between.
The best places to land in Fortnite

Before jumping into the list, it's important to be aware of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any place with decent loot might serve you well, but there's more to consider than that. Does a spot have a consistent chest/loot spawn? Are there guaranteed materials? Is it close to other places of interest (POI)s? Is it out of the way? Of course, loot is the most important aspect, but it does you no good to have a stacked loadout if you're stuck in the storm. These recommended landing spots all have some degree of consistency and fantastic loot, and typically have some quirk that makes them effective depending on your playstyle.

Fortnite Reality Augments: full list and how to use them
Fortnite Zero Builds key art.

Every new chapter of Fortnite is a massive event. While seasonal changes bring plenty of minor tweaks and additions, it's almost always when a new chapter rolls around that major overhauls or new mechanics are introduced. Fortnite Chapter 4 was no exception, and aside from the extreme changes the island underwent, it brought one very important change to gameplay that makes a huge difference when going for that elusive victory royal (it isn't easy to win Fortnite, after all).

Augments, well, augment the game. There are a few challenges that somewhat introduce what these are, but they leave out almost all the important details for you to find out on your own. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves. Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.
What are augments in Fortnite?
Augments, or Reality Augments, are a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. There are currently 20 augments in the game, but there are 32 total that cycle in and out with each Season. You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose. These perks can range from modifying certain weapon types to granting buffs for performing actions, and much more. There are no bad augments, so you will want to get as many as possible. Augments also have their own tab in your menu where you can see which ones you've had so far to track your progress using them all.
