Fortnite: Where to find wolves and how to tame them

By Joseph Yaden January 18, 2023

As part of a recent Fortnite challenge, players are required to find and tame wolves — a mechanic that has been in the game for a long time. The thing is, finding wolves can be a bit inconsistent, making this quest a bit trickier than you’d expect. The other thing is that — once you find a wolf — taming them can also be a chore, so players are likely struggling to complete this quest.

Where to find wolves

Map of wolves in Fortnite. — Fortnite.gg

In general, you’ll have success finding wolves in non-snowy areas on the Fortnite map. Wolves tend to spawn in random locations, though, and — depending on what other players in the match do — can end up all over the map.

Your best bet is to land around hubs with grassy or wooded areas such as Shattered Slabs, Frenzy Fields, or Fault Splits. It’s best to land around the hubs, not directly in the middle of them.

Oftentimes, you’ll encounter wolves during natural play, so you should always keep your eyes peeled for them.

How to tame wolves

Once you find a wolf, you’ll need to tame it to complete the quest. To do so, all you need to do is jump directly on its back. You’ll then be able to ride it around like a vehicle. Unlike traditional cars and trucks, wolves are great because you don’t need to fill them up with gas. They also control a lot better than certain cars in the game.

When does the new Fortnite season start?

Every new season in Fortnite is a massive event. While not quite on the scale of a new Chapter, seasons still bring about a ton of changes to the ever-evolving battle royale phenomenon to keep players engaged. New skins, abilities, missions, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of new content. If one season doesn't quite hit for you, or if you've already crushed all the content there was and are eagerly awaiting the next season's start, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let's dive into when you can expect the next season of Fortnite to begin.When does the next Fortnite season start?We are currently in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, meaning the next season will be Chapter 5 Season 3. The season will roll over at 2 a.m PT on May 24, 2024. Keep in mind that there is always a period of downtime between seasons as Epic updates the game and gets it ready for whatever new content and themes will be included. So while that 2 a.m. time should be accurate for when the season will end, we can't be 100% certain about when the servers will be back up and you can actually start playing season 3. We have no official word on what the next Fortnite season's theme will be, nor have there been any credible leaks. If we hear anything on what to expect on May 24, we will keep you in the loop.

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.

There are few experiences better than gathering a crew of friends and embarking on a thrilling pirate adventure in Sea of Thieves. When everything is working as intended, Sea of Thieves is a fun and addicting time, but players have reported a number of technical issues and bugs that can interrupt your voyage. We compiled a list of the most common problems players have reported, as well as how to fix them.
Connection issues

While Sea of Thieves depends on online group-ups, sometimes the digital waves get a little choppy. Upon loading into the Sea of Thieves main menu, you might see a message such as “KiwiBeard, “Greybeard,” or “DaffodilBeard,” among other facial hair-themed errors. The majority of these are error messages related to the game’s servers rather than a problem with your system or your own internet connection.
