Fortnite leakers discover massive Anchor under Dusty Divot
Dusty Divot has transformed into an excavation site full of equipment, and thanks to Fortnite leakers, we now have an idea what lies underneath.
The Dusty location in Fortnite has undergone several changes since the original design of Dusty Depot back in Season 1.
Dusty Depot began as a simple location with different metal warehouses that had a few chest spawns, which was a great beginning landing spot.
Dusty has gone through several events, including the infamous crater crash from Season 4.
During Week 5 of Season 8, trailer trucks began to arrive at Dusty Divot pointing towards another renovation.
Later during Week 5, the trucks began construction by digging into the middle crater.

Players are able to interact with the rocks by dealing damage, decreasing their overall health, which started at 1,000,000,000 hp.
This situation is similar to the Iceberg on the island south of Happy Hamlet during Season 7.
Players can deal damage with their pickaxes for 50 damage, but all players around the world can beat down the rocks.
Thanks to @FNBRHQ, they were able to provide pictures of what Dusty Divot will look like once construction is complete.
Once players are able to clear out all of the rocks at Dusty Divot, a surprise will be laying at the bottom of the large hole.
The construction project will soon reveal a large anchor, with several chest spawns surrounding the area.
Some players believe that the anchor will reveal more information based around Season 8’s story line, which is centered around Pirates.

Season 8 has been slow in terms of story line development, but hopefully, this new discovery points towards some progression.
Do you think Epic Games will have another in-game event to celebrate the end of Season 8?

Fortnite Season 5 is offering players a plethora of ways to earn XP and rank up through the Battle Pass. The most recently-added XP-gathering method is through the XP Coins.
Most players will remember XP Coins from the past few seasons. They seemed to be everywhere back then, but they were removed at the start of the season.
Ahead, we’ll give you a map of all the XP coin locations. We’ll make sure to update you as more XP Coins are added to the map.
Fortnite XP Coin locations
XP coins are scattered all across the map. You can find them from Catty Corner to Stealthy Stronghold. Here’s a map of all of the available XP Coins, so far.
We’ll keep this post updated as more XP coins become available. You’ll need to reach level 250 to unlock all of the enlightened skins in Season 5, so finding these will be well worth your time.

Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 is here. Take a look at all of the challenges and how to complete them.
Fortnite Season 5 is chugging along, but there’s still about two months left. The holiday break extended the latest season, so there’s still plenty of time to make your way through the Battle Pass.
The Week 7 challenges are relatively straightforward, with most of them able to be completed without too much effort.
A couple of these challenges will have you searching the same area in Slurpy Swamp, so a favorable bus path in Team Rumble will allow you to complete them in one shot. Here’s what you’ll need to do.
Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenges
- Visit Houses in Slurpy Swamp in One Match (3)
- Collect Books from Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands (5)
- Consume Shield Potions (3)
- Destroy Slurp Barrels (10)
- Search Chests in Slurpy Swamp (7)
- Gain Max Shields in a Single Match (1)
- Eliminations with Zero Shields (1)
The good news in the Week 7 challenges is that all of them can be completed in Team Rumble. We have a separate article detailing the locations of Books in Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands. You can find that here.

The Legendary challenge requires players to deal damage to opponents in Vehicles. This one is going to be a headache, as there’s no way to force another player to be inside of a car or boat when you shoot them.
Hopefully, you can get into a game of Team Rumble with like-minded enemies – sitting in Motorboats and trading shots with you. If not, it’s going to take some serious gaming to finish this one. Good luck!

How to disable pre-edits in Fortnite
After over a year of fan requests, Epic have added a ‘disable pre-edit’ option to Fortnite. Here’s where you can find it.
In v15.20, Epic Games added a much-requested setting to Fortnite: ‘disable pre-edits.’ Here’s how it works and how to select it.
Finally, after years of Reddit threads, Twitter posts, and pro players begging, Epic added a ‘disable pre-edit’ setting to Fortnite.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new setting, including how it works and where to find it.
What does ‘pre-editing’ mean?
Pre-editing refers to the ability to edit a structure before placing it. The most popular use of pre-edits throughout Fortnite history was a cone/ramp edit when controller players had to use Combat Pro.
Now, however, very few players use pre-edits. Instead, pre-edits offer an obstacle, as they’re almost always completed by mistake. Of course, there are still some niche applications for pre-edits, but most players wanted Epic to add an option to disable these edits.
How to disable pre-edits
You can find the new option under the settings tab (cog wheel) in the start menu. Scroll down to the “Building” section, and you’ll see four options. One of them is the new “Disable Pre-Edit Option.”
If you turn this off, you’ll no longer be able to edit structures before placing them – good news for the bulk of the Fortnite community.
If may have taken Epic years to finally add this option, but it’s finally here. Next stop, an FoV slider!
