How to acquire Blade in Fortnite

Unfortunately, there is only one way to get your hands on Blade and his cosmetics in Fortnite — and that is by purchasing various bundles (or individual cosmetics) with V-Bucks. Head to the Item Shop by tabbing over to the right from the main menu to view the options. You’ll find Blade under the Special Offers section of the shop. The most expensive option is the Blade bundle, which comes with all things Blade, including an emote and outfit. Here’s a breakdown of that bundle:

  • Blade — Outfit
  • Sword of the Daywalker — Back Bling
  • Sword of the Daywalker — Harvesting tool
  • Dayflier — Glider
  • Daywalker’s Kata — Emote

In total, this will cost you around $19.99 to grab with real money. Or, if you’ve got some V-Bucks lying around, you can pay the difference by purchasing some of the V-Bucks bundles from the store. Alternatively, you can get your hands on a less expensive Blade bundle that comes with fewer items:

You can also acquire some of the cosmetics individually. Daywalker’s Kata will set you back 300 V-Bucks, while the Dayflier glider costs 1,200 V-Bucks. If you’re short on V-Bucks, the best way to get them without spending real money is to level up your battle pass. If you complete the entire battle pass for this season, you’ll earn 1,500 V-Bucks, which will put you closer to getting your hands on the latest Blade goodies.

Leveling up the battle pass is the best way to earn V-Bucks if you don’t want to spend real money. You’ll get 100 V-Bucks when you reach levels 4, 12, 19, 26, 31, 41, 47, 52, 59, 65, 70, 78, 88, 92, and 99, for a possible 1,500 in total. The best way to level up the battle pass is by completing weekly challenges, which reward you with 25,000 XP to upwards of 50,000 XP. You don’t have to complete them all, but the more you finish, the more XP you’ll gain. Each week, we cover many of the new challenges that appear throughout the season, so make sure you check in every Thursday for the latest tips and strategies for getting through the tougher challenges.

As you level up the battle pass, you’ll also gain access to other fun cosmetics — most of which are Marvel themed for this season. These are things like emotes, outfits, weapon skins, gliders, and more.

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.

All Incantations and how to unlock them in Hades 2
Melinoe fighting under a full moon in Hades 2.

You can't have a game where you play as a witch without a massive cauldron. Hades 2 places one front and center in the Crossroads, but it isn't just there for decorative purposes. Melinoë can use this big boiling pot of green liquid to bring new features into the game, whether it be between runs or during them, in exchange for various materials like Silver. You will only start out with a few Incantations, but doing more runs and getting further toward your goal of killing Chronos will gradually unlock more to create. There are far more than you might expect for an early access game. Here are all the Incantations and their recipes.
Every Incantation, effect, and recipe
The order in which you unlock Incantations in the menu can vary based on what you do and how you progress in Hades 2, so this list is in no particular order. Also, it is possible there are more we haven't been able to unlock yet, so we will update this list if we discover any more or if additional ones are added during early access.
