Summer Skirmish technical hiccups

The first Fortnite Summer Skirmish event went down this weekend, and it wasn't exactly smooth sailing. The event, which paired gamers up with celebrities, faced some major lag issues right from the get-go. This turned potentially exciting matches into camping fests as players tried to move as little as possible to combat lag. The tournament ended after just 4 battles due to the technical snafus.

Chance the Rapper chimes in

Chance the Rapper, a big fan of Fortnite, thinks it's time for Epic to collaborate with some of the artists who created songs that go with Fortnite's famous dances. The dances in Fortnite may have an even further reach because of the game, but they existed outside of the game for months, and even years before they were implemented. Those dances go with very specific songs by real musicians and artists. Should Fortnite partner up with those artists to include their songs in-game, and then cut them in on some of the profits as well?

Season 5 new items datamined

Dataminers have found a ton of new items that will be heading to Fortnite throughout Season 5. The above umbrella isn't really a spoiler, as you can currently achieve it by getting a Battle Royale win. As for the other items, most of them haven't been shown off by Epic yet, and they can't be seen while playing the normal game. Hit the jump to have a look.
