Fortnite: Every possible Moisty Palms prop disguise
Fortnite players now have the opportunity to hide as a prop in the Moisty Palms Rift Zone and while many will have tried it out already, knowing which items to look out for will be invaluable when looting up at the destination.
The new prop feature allows you to hide in plain sight, swapping your usual character look in the battle royale game for that of an everyday object – such as a lamp, toilet, and much more.
There’s a good chance that you will come across players dressed as these props every time you drop into the area – spanning between both the main Moisty Palms location and the prison which returned in the v10.30 patch.

While not everybody will be a fan of the addition, this is a game that forces its fans to adapt on a regular basis and if you don’t want to be put to the sword every time you have to cross through this Rift Zone, knowing what you’re looking for will certainly give you an upper hand against sneaky opponents.
So, let’s take a look at all of the different props available in Moisty Palms.
Trash can
Cabinet
Toilet
No Swimming Sign
Black Car
Plant
Red Workbench
Bench
Cactus
Barbecue
Green chair
Red seat
Another plant
Lamp
It’s fair to say that those who are better at hide-and-seek will prevail with these prop tactics, though. It isn’t always obvious that a player is hidden as something else, but placing an unlikely item in a strange setting – as seen with the lamp above – will be an easy giveaway.
A number of the props are designed to look like other items in the area, though, with trash cans, cacti, and plants scattered all over this point of interest. Players can easily blend in with their surroundings, depending on the prop they want to use.
While you might think its great that an unsuspecting player isn’t going to think you’re there, and grabbing eliminations using this tactic might be great when it is successful, you could easily be the one being tricked.
Hopefully, this guide will make it easier to spot those who are lurking in the shadows and give you a better idea of what to look out for.

Will Fortnite be banned in the US after Tencent investigation?
Epic Games has received a letter from the Committee on Foreign Investment involving their investor, Tencent. What does this mean for Fortnite?
News has been swirling about the potential ban of TikTok in the United States, recently. Banning the biggest app in the world not only has implications for the millions of users but also for other companies that have attracted similar scrutiny from the US government. That ban has recently been put on hold, but it still could be coming later this week.
Namely, the Chinese technology company, Tencent, is under investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Tencent is one of the largest gaming companies in the world and boasts ownership of Riot Games and a 40% stake in Epic Games.
A recent report from Bloomberg stated that Epic and Riot – among other companies – have received letters requesting them to turn over information about their security protocols, including how they handle the personal data of their US-based customers.
Epic Games is an American Company, but Tencent has a large stake in them. Epic may have access to the personal data of their customers, and the US government is concerned about what they’re doing with it. In China, companies and the government aren’t as separated as they are in the US and other countries.
So, what does this mean for Fortnite? Well, it’s too soon to be 100% sure. We’ve seen some outlets waffling over whether or not Fortnite will face a ban, similar to what we’re seeing with TikTok. We’re no experts, but we don’t see this happening.

Tencent has a minority stake in Fortnite. At most, we expect them to be forced to sell their stake in the developer and move on. It might be more tricky with companies like Riot Games, where Tencent owns a controlling stake. Fortnite, however, should be safe.

Upcoming Fortnite BTS emotes leaked
BTS makes their mark on Fortnite with two new emotes. Take a look at them before they come into the game.
By now, most Fortnite fans know all about the Fortnite X BTS collaboration that will be coming to Party Royale this weekend. This is, likely, the biggest collaboration that we’ve seen in Party Royale to date.
The official choreography video for the BTS hit song, “Dynamite,” will be shown on the main stage in Party Royale on September 25 and 26. Fortnite players will be the first to watch the exclusive video.
Epic also announced that they’d be releasing two Fortnite emotes that were choreographed by BTS, themselves. These emotes will hit the Item Shop on Wednesday, September 13.
Thanks to data miner @iFireMonkey, we were able to get a closer look at these emotes before they come into the game. Here’s a look at the audio and video of each of the two upcoming BTS emotes.
On top of that, Epic also released a map for Creative Mode which is, according to them, a “recreation of the world from the original ‘Dynamite’ music video.” You can use the code 0272-4337-3889 at the Creative Hub to enter. Enjoy!

How to unlock Fortnite cosmetics in Rocket League ‘Llama-Rama’ event
Rocket League is celebrating going free-to-play with an in-game event and Fortnite crossover: Llama-Rama.
Rocket League fans, largely, rejoiced when they learned that Fortnite developer, Epic Games, had purchased the Rocket League development team, Psyonix. Rocket League is a brilliant game, but the monetization efforts weren’t too player-friendly – especially for a game that cost $30.
Fortnite, on the other hand, has one of the most user-friendly microtransaction systems in all of gaming. You can say what you want about Fortnite and the choices of the developers, but it’s hard to criticize their approach to monetization.
Epic has already been making its mark on Rocket League since its acquisition of Psyonix. They made the loot boxes transparent, made the game free-to-play, and are now bringing the first in-game event with unlockable cosmetics.
The ‘Llama Rama’ Fortnite crossover event will run from September 26 through October 12 and will give players the chance to unlock the Battle Bus cosmetic pack, Llama Wheels, the Loot Llama Decal, the Top Llama Topper, and the Llama Fly Antenna.
You’ll need to complete some in-game challenges to earn these rewards. The challenges haven’t been released at the time of writing, but we’ll be sure to update this post when the event goes live this weekend.
Update: Rocket League challenges released
The challenges are now live in Rocket League, which unlocks rewards for both Rocket League and Fortnite. Here’s a look at all of the challenges and rewards for the event:
- CHALLENGE 1: LLAMAS, START YOUR ENGINES!
- Rocket League Challenge: Play an Online Match in Any Playlist
- Rocket League Reward: Llama Flyer Antenna
- Fortnite Reward: Rocket League Spray

Rocket League is the kind of game that no one knew they wanted until they played it. It’s incredibly fun and we strongly recommend trying it if you haven’t already.
Like Fortnite, Rocket League is a simple game with a massive skill ceiling. It’s easy to get the hang of but incredibly difficult to master – something that most Fortnite fans will naturally love in a game. Now, it’s free, so there’s no reason not to try it out.
