How to get Boba Fett in Fortnite

By

Boba Fett, the fan-favorite bounty hunter, will be added to Fortnite as a playable character in December. This character joins the ever-expanding Fortnite lineup, featuring familiar faces from beloved franchises that come from comic books, TV shows, movies, and other video games.

But how can you unlock Boba Fett in Fortnite? While it’s still too early to know all the details, there’s a lot we can infer based on historical trends. Here’s what we know about unlocking Boba Fett in Fortnite.

Boba Fett will launch in Fortnite on December 24 at 7 p.m. ET. This will coincide with the launch of the Disney+ show The Book of Boba Fett on December 29, following the story of the famous bounty hunter from the Star Wars series.

Epic Games has yet to reveal just how Boba Fett will be unlocked, but we can presume the Star Wars character will be added to the Item Shop. Many of its most popular characters like Master Chief, Kratos, and Jill Valentine were added to the Item Shop, meaning they had to be purchased with V-bucks. Typically, there are multiple bundles that coincide with character skins, featuring cosmetics like emotes, Back Bling, and loading screens.

If Boba Fett is added to the Item Shop rather than being unlocked via an in-game quest, you can expect the skin to cost around 1,500 V-bucks. It’s possible it will be slightly more or less, but typically, 1,500 is the sweet spot.

Remember, 1,000 V-bucks is equal to around $8, so you’ll need to shell out more than that if you don’t have enough saved up already. You can only purchase V-bucks in five different denominations, including:

  • 1,000: $8
  • 2,800: $20
  • 5,000: $32
  • 13,500: $80

Remember, you can earn V-bucks by leveling up the Battle Pass or by purchasing them with real money.

When you purchase cosmetic bundles from the Item Shop, you do “save” money rather than buying items individually, so if you want the additional items, this is definitely the way to go. Typically, the least expensive option is to buy the outfit, which often comes with an emote or something else.

One thing that isn’t clear is whether Fennec Shand — who is seen sitting next to Boba in the promotional art — will be available to unlock as well. It’s common for Fortnite to have multiple characters released alongside one another, such as Daryl and Michonne from The Walking Dead and Ripley and the Xenomorph from Alien, so it’s possible Fennec and Boba Fett will be available as part of a package.

We will update this article once we receive confirmation of how Boba Fett will be unlocked in Fortnite.

Sea of Thieves alliances guide: how to join and benefits
Two ships fighting in Sea of Thieves.

There are ways in which you could play as a solo pirate in Sea of Thieves, but adventuring is so much more fun and rewarding when you're part of a crew. Once you've gotten a handle on how to play the game, taking on voyages and attacking other players with fellow pirates is where the real fun begins. Alliances make it much easier to coordinate and team up with your fellow scallywags, but how you form them and all the benefits they can provide are somewhat obfuscated. It isn't as simple as joining a party through a menu like in other games, so follow our treasure map to learn all about how alliances work in Sea of Thieves.
How to join or start an alliance

Alliances aren't made in menus, but require you to do some work in-game. Just like real pirates, alliances are determined by what flag you're flying. When you're sailing near a ship you want to partner up with, climb up your crow's nest and interact with the flag box. Go to the Alliances tab and choose the Offer Alliance flag. If the other ship is also flying that flag, you can then change your flag to the Join Alliance flag to fully form the alliance. There is no limit on how many ships can be in an alliance at once in one game.

How to fast travel in V Rising
A vampire roams a town at night in V Rising.

One of the key features of vampires, at least in their original depiction, is their ability to take the form of a bat to quickly traverse the night. In V Rising, you technically can shapeshift but it won't make a big impact on your ability to travel. You have all the normal weaknesses of the mythical creature, such as aversion to sunlight and the need to suck blood in order to survive, but you must stick to normal methods of transportation most of the time. Getting on a horse certainly speeds up your traversal, but the map is quite large and sometimes you just want to get from one side to the other quickly.

Fast travel appears in V Rising in two different ways: Waygates and Cave Passages. Both of these have their own benefits, drawbacks, and ways to unlock them. However, as you grow in power, you will need to visit the far-reaching areas of the world much faster and much more often, making fast travel invaluable. Here's how both methods of fast travel work in V Rising and where you can find them.

The best developments to get first in Manor Lords
A town in a valley in Manor Lords.

It feels a little bit like cheating in Manor Lords, but the development upgrades you can get can do some powerful things to improve your settlement. However, to balance things out, the development points you need to unlock these enhancements are given out very sparingly. In fact, you won't get even close to the amount needed to unlock everything on the sphere grid. To make matters even more stressful, there's no way to undo a choice you make, so any point spent in error is locked in until you start a new game. There's none that can make your game harder, but if you pick one that offers no benefit to your current settlement or goals, it might as well be a negative in terms of the opportunity cost. For the best experience, here are the developments you should invest in first.
How to get development points
Before you can spend any development points in Manor Lords, you have to earn them. This is a slightly obfuscated system that you may not fully understand if you're not paying close attention, but it does make sense once you know what's going on. Development points are tied to you reaching new settlement levels. You can incrementally grow to a small village, a medium village, a large village, a small town, a medium town, and -- finally -- a large town. Each one requires a larger number of burgage plots and for you to upgrade more of them to higher levels. In any one settlement, you can earn six development points.
Best developments to get first

The development tree is broken down into four segments: farming, trade, gathering, and industry. Here are some of the best ones you can unlock early.
Heavy Plow
No settlement can survive only on hunting and foraging for food. Farming is the only way to make sure your storehouses are well stocked with food, but even a fully staffed farm is painfully slow to harvest. The Heavy Plow upgrade adds a plowing station to your farms so you can make use of an ox to not only make plowing your fields far faster, but also tospeed up transporting your crops to the storehouse.
Charcoal Burning
Preparing for winter is your primary concern for your first year, if not the first two, in Manor Lords. Lack of food is one thing, but if you run out of fuel to keep your population warm, they won't last long. Firewood is your basic form of fuel, but it is very inefficient. This development lets you build a charcoal kiln that gives you two charcoal for every one firewood you feed into it. That will double your potential fuel reserves in a snap.
Deep Mining
All natural resources will eventually run dry. While you can regrow trees and let berries regrow, ore deposits only have so much material for you to mine before they're tapped out. You can break the laws of nature with the Deep Mining development that lets you upgrade any mine into a deep mine that somehow never runs out of ore. This only works on the slightly rare rich deposits, but is still incredibly powerful to have an unending source of ore to build or sell.
Sheepbreeding
Speaking of getting an unending source of materials and money, Sheepbreeding makes something that you would expect to happen, but by default does not, actually occur. If you have a sheep farm, those sheep will be completely uninterested in mating and having more sheep babies. Snag this development to let nature take its course and get yourself an infinite supply of sheep for materials and to trade for quite a high price.
Better Deals
And while you're trading, unlock better deals to keep from getting ripped off. There's a tariff on anything you import in Manor Lords of 10 regional wealth, but this perk waives that annoying fee. Since you never quite know what resources you will have and what you will need to import to build your next structure or upgrade, importing is essential for reaching the late game. The earlier you invest in this, the more you'll save in the long run.
