Fortnitevending machines have been spotted in Fortnite Battle Royale. The vending machine’s function appears to be to allow players to trade raw materials, like wood, for weapons. This could help those struggling to find a weapon in the early game.
Fortnite vending machines aren’t yet available through normal means. Twitter user @Markenny_king discovered the vending machines through a weird bug. You can see his screenshot below.
Epic Games hasn’t yet mentioned the Fortnite vending machines, so I’d imagine it will be at least a few weeks until they are added. (Usually, we get a teaser image, followed by an in-game “Coming Soon” message, and then a trailer, before finally getting to use the new item.)
What do you think of the Fortnite vending machines? Let us know.
It’s Friday, which means it’s time for a Destiny 2 Xur location and items post!
Do remember that Xur now appears at 5 p.m. GMT / 12 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. PT.
Xur appears to players in the wilds of Destiny 2. His location changes every week, so players should watch out for where he’ll appear next.
This weekend, players can spend 29 Legendary Shards on the D.A.R.C.I sniper rifle.
Hunters can grab The Dragon’s Shadow chest armor for 23 Legendary Shards.
Titans can pick up the Nezarec’s Skin helmet for 23 Legendary Shards.
Warlocks can purchase the MK. 44 Stand Asides leg armor for 23 Legendary Shards.
Players can also buy Fated Engrams, which contain a new not-yet-obtained Exotic, for 97 Legendary Shards. Three of Coins are also available for 31 Legendary Shards.
The Destiny 2 Xur location for this week is in the Tower, in the hangar area.
The PUBGFlare Gun Miramar event is now live on PC for a limited time. This is the first “Event Mode” for the live servers, and gives players the chance to use the super-powerful flare gun, which drops a huge amount of loot.
Here are the full PUBG Flare Gun Miramar event details:
PUBG Flare Gun Miramar Event Details
Last week we tested the Event Mode for the first time and were happy to see that so many of you enjoyed the new system. This week we’re mixing things up again and adding the Flare Gun to the loot table.
Flare Gun
Flare Gun is a special weapon that can be used to call in a care package to your location. Just aim it up, fire the flare and the airplane will drop a superior care package on that location. Only a limited number of Flare Guns will spawn in small single-story houses throughout the map (at this time only in Event Mode), but finding one is going to be worth your time!
Please check below for more details!
Event mode starts: Mar 29 7PM PDT / Mar 30 4AM CEST / Mar 30 11AM KST
The Fortnite3.4.1 update is now available for players to download and install. The new Fortnite update should help stop crashing issues, fix the pump shotgun animation delay, and more.
Here’s the brief list of Fortnite 3.4.1 update patch notes:
Fortnite 3.4.1 Update Patch Notes
Multiple Crash Fixes
Pump Shotgun Animation Delay
Distance not being shown for Sniper Rifle eliminations
While these are relatively minor changes, I’m sure that those who have been experiencing crashing problems will appreciate the support. And, now that the shotgun animation delay has been fixed, we can all get back to annoying the populace with our shotgun-spam tactics! The fixes to distance for sniper rifle kills will also become apparent in the new Sniper Shootout v2 mode.
While every weapon tucked away in Call of Duty: WWII can be obtained by doing challenges, or earning enough Armory Credits to just buy them outright, it seems gun variants aren’t in the same boat.
Over on Reddit, user leedr95 posted a lengthy message posting his findings after chatting with an Activision customer support employee via email. Long story short: there are a fair few numbers of weapon variants that will not drop for you regardless of how many Supply Drops you buy.
Bar Rifle (exception: EPIC “Old Captain” – Special order 3/20-3/26)
M1928 SMG (exceptions: EPIC “Wilco” – Social Rank 5; EPIC “Handler” – Special order 3/13-3/19)
Lewis LMG (exception: EPIC “Landship” – Social Rank 11)
Karabin “Patriot” (Truly a troll from SHG. Nobody has this. Even Activision has no idea what’s going on)
However, there are ways to still some of these weapons by doing various challenges such as completing orders, prestiging and more. Here’s the full Reddit message, along with the email screencap.
So, why should this matter? Well, for one thing, some people do spend real money on Supply Drops, and some of them might be doing so with the intent of getting a specific weapon variant. Given Sledgehammer Games has not issued any statement of any kind that these can’t be obtained via Supply Drops, well, you can see how that might cause issues.
Weapon variants are by and large, the same as the base weapon they’re, uh, based on. However, they look infinitely better, and some have better iron sights, too.
Is this an issue for you? Or are people overreacting to something so trivial? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
If you didn’t want to spring for the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remaster when it was released, or just want more players to play with (assuming the Xbox 360 player base is still very much active), then do we have good news for you!
The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Xbox One backwards compatibility feature is now live! Yes, that means that if you have the original disc from all those years back, you can plop it in, and play! If you don’t have it, there’s also a sale on Modern Warfare as part of the Xbox Spring Sale; though if you’re doing that, you might just want to get the remastered version, no?
For the full list of Xbox One backwards compatible titles, and how it works, check here.
In related news, there’s multiple rumors circling Modern Warfare 2 with the biggest one said to be that it won’t include multiplayer at all. Yes. I know it’s a bummer if true.
Anyone jumping into the Modern Warfare Xbox 360 pool today? Let us know how it goes! We wish you the best against the cheaters and whatnot.
It seems Microsoft’s new franchise, Sea of Thieves, is off to a fantastic start! Since the action game’s launch on March 20, it has, according to Microsoft, become the “fastest selling first-party IP of this generation.”
Sea of Thieves managed to nab over one million players on launch day, and right now, the Sea of Thieves player count is at an impressive two million players! It’s also the best-selling Microsoft Studios first-party game on Windows 10, too! Still not impressed? Microsoft has also shared some data on Sea of Thieves’ streaming status as well. Sea of Thieves has over 100,000 players who have streamed it at launch, which resulted in over 10 million hours of watch time!
Here’s more info straight from Microsoft on just how friggin’ amazing Sea of Thieves has been:
We’ve also been blown away by how the game has bought players together. More than half of a million new Xbox Live friendships have been forged to date and over 400,000 players have joined an Xbox Club to find pirates to share stories with.
We know the response has led to some scale challenges and exposed some bugs we have addressed and will continue to address. Please know that the team at Rare is working hard to tackle any player-impacting issues and this is our number one priority.
In other Sea of Thieves news, Rare has pulled back on its earlier plans of putting a death tax for players who die in-game. Check out why they pulled that back, and what’s coming soon for the pirate game here.
With Treyarch officially confirming this year’s entry as Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII (which we’ll refer to as Black Ops 4 since it seems more logical to do so), a lot of people (including us here at MP1st) are understandably very excited given Treyarch is undoubtedly the A-team when it comes to Call of Duty developers.
Having said that, here are the top five features or stuff that we want implemented in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4!
More Game Types! Battle Royale Maybe?!
Remember One in the Chamber? Uplink? Wager matches? Team deathmatch and the like are fine and all, but we want some variety. Sure, Call of Duty: WWII had its own new mode in “War,” but it’s not the same (no scorestreaks, etc.).
Speaking of which, given the rumors floating about, will Black Ops 4 Battle Royale be a thing? I wouldn’t be surprised if it is! While the discussion whether Call of Duty should jump in the battle royale pool is a different matter altogether, the point stands: we want more varied game modes!
No Loot Crate-Gating of Weapons
Say what you want about Call of Duty: WWII, but it at least had the right mindset in offering new weapons. Sure, they can be obtained by loot box mining (buying a ton of loot boxes with real world money), but they can also be obtained via Contracts and challenges.
Black Ops 3 was a fantastic game that had loot box-only weapons coming out of its ears! This ruined the experience for a lot of people, and we won’t want it happening again.
Map Balance and Variety
While some people might not cringe at the thought of another set of maps with three-lanes, Treyarch should find a perfect balance of that (for eSports), and having varied ones to shake things up. Sure, we want it balanced as well, but give us some variety, Treyarch!
Better and More Interesting Scorestreaks!
We’re expecting the UAV, Counter-UAV and such to appear as scorestreaks in Black Ops 4, but we want more! Nothing too crazy, but nothing too tame and lame like the ones in COD: WWII either. If there’s a studio who can add variety to scorestreaks, it’ll be the studio that implemented motherfucking dogs as a form of killing machines.
Bring Pick 10 Back!
If there’s one thing I personally didn’t like in COD: WWII, it’s how limiting each loadout feels. There’s a reason why Treyarch’s Pick 10 system was liked by a lot of people — it just works! Who doesn’t want to be able to customize their loadouts down to the last perk, grenade or gun attachment, right?
I wager, we’re going to see Pick 10 back, or some form of it. Otherwise, it’s going to be another long 12 months.
Well, there you have it! What features do you want to see in Black Ops 4? Either old ones or new ones? Let us know in the comments, folks!
What’s this? A new update from Hello Games, and it concerns a No Man’s SkyXbox version, as well as a new expansion?! Why, yes, yes it is! Hello Games’ Sean Murray tweeted out the new announcement, with both the Xbox One version and No Man’s Sky NEXT project simultaneously revealed.
Coming in Summer 2018 is No Man’s Sky NEXT, a free update for PS4, PC, Xbox and WeGame. It’s our largest update so far, and we’re working our socks off pic.twitter.com/wZhjaLMbsT
The physical Xbox One version of the game will be distributed by 505 Games, while the digital version will be able through the Xbox Store.
Xbox One owners will be able to explore this vast procedurally generated universe later in 2018, including all content developed to date and a lot more surprises from Next yet to be announced. 505 Games will distribute the physical Xbox One version worldwide.
The press release also details what Hello Games has been up to for the past 18 months.
In the last 18 months, Hello Games and No Man’s Sky’s community of avid followers have continued to build out the game through 3 major updates (Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises) and dozens of smaller patches. “We are calling this No Man’s Sky NEXT because it is an important next step in a journey for No Man’s Sky, for Hello Games and for our devoted community.” said Sean Murray, founder at Hello Games. “Each update for No Man’s Sky has been more successful than the last; this was especially true of our last update Atlas Rises. It emboldens the team to push ourselves further. This journey is far from over, and it’s exciting to be working again on something you know will surprise people.”
What do you think the No Man’s Sky NEXT expansion will be? Perhaps the game will be playable in VR? Let us know your theories in the comments below!

Want more Killing Floor 2 content? Well, developer Tripwire Interactive has just released that and then some! The Killing Floor 2 Infinite Onslaught update is now out, and it adds a LOT of things to the shooter.
There’s a new game mode called Endless Mode that has players trying to survive an endless wave of the undead. There are three new weapons (MAC-10, Husk Cannon, and AF2011-A1 pistol), and a new character DAR which was available in the first game. Check out a video of the new content below.
There’s also new cosmetic stuff rolled out which run the gamut from weapon skins, character skins, and more. Finally, and possibly the most important of all: two new maps have been added as well (DieSector, Powercore).
The Killing Floor 2 Infinite Onslaught update is out now for PC and consoles.
If you haven’t played any of The Witcher games (shame on you!), you might not know who Geralt of Rivia is. He’s a “witcher,” someone who slays monsters for a living, and is an expert swordsman, and also dabbles in magic.
Now, if you’re a SoulCalibur VI fan, you ought to know that Geralt is coming to fight! In case you missed the announcement, there’s now a new video specifically showcasing Geralt in SoulCalibur VI! Check out CD Projekt RED talking about how Geralt fits into the SoulCalibur universe, how they even brought in the original motion capture actor just for this guest appearance and more.
He should fit in quite nicely, no? Geralt does have the advantage of being able to use his signs powers, but somehow, I don’t think that’ll give him a super big advantage.
SoulCalibur VI is set to slice out sometime this year.
Here’s your interesting news for the day: John Cena, WWE champ, and all around good guy has been cast as lead role in the live-action Duke Nukem movie!
Before any of you gets too excited, the Duke Nukem movie is in super early stages of production, but as it stands now, Cena is set to star. Producer Andrew Form mentions, We don’t have a script yet, so that is confirmed at this point but if he reads the script and he doesn’t like the script I’m sure there’s ways that he could pull out, but right now he’s our guy.”
In addition to that statement, Form also says that the movie is taking cues from Deadpool in striking the right balance of tone, and even goes as far as saying that “if we don’t get the tone right then we’re not going to make the movie.”
For the young ‘uns reading this, Duke Nukem started way back in 1991, with the latest entry in the series being the disaster that was Duke Nukem Forever by Gearbox Software (Borderlands), which bombed so hard we didn’t see a sequel or even a whiff of it up to this day.
But hey, if anyone can make Duke Nukem relevant again, it’s got to be John Cena, right?
In case some readers didn’t know, MP1st was revived late last year by some of the old staff, myself, and Mack Ashworth. We aimed to provide the latest multiplayer news, in-depth reviews of multiplayer games and even gaming peripherals that differ from other sites since we’re, we’ll, better gamers than most reviewers.
While there’s a new Battlefield game coming later this year, and there’s Black Ops 4 (BOIIII) from Treyarch already confirmed, there are months where it’s really thin in terms of multiplayer gaming news, rumors and more. Having said that, MP1st (Multiplayer 1st), will start reviewing select single-player games starting next month, and even (maybe) post some single-player news from time to time. Note that we’re doing this type of coverage for AAA titles that we think every kind of gamer should play, and chances are, we’ll be playing ourselves, too.
Now, before anyone violently reacts, we won’t be changing the site’s overall direction; we’re still going to focus on multiplayer games, multiplayer news, reviews and more. Just don’t be surprised to see a single-player game being reported on or reviewed from time to time, alright?
Also of note: we’re going to try hard to dive in to more guides since our data shows this is one of the main things our readers wants.
We’re still a niche site, but we’re just widening our scope a bit in terms of content, which should be a win-win scenario for all given we won’t compromise any of our news, reviews and coverage.
Sounds good? If you think otherwise or have suggestions, let us know via email (tips@mp1st.com), or by leaving a comment below.

Unless you’ve been living under a particularly massive rock, you’ll know that the battle royale has pretty much taken over the gaming world. With both Fortnite Battle Royaleand PUBGgiving players the chance to hunt each other down in an intense gameplay experience, there’s not much room left for playing anything else.
But just how many people are playing these games? Well, the analysts over at Newzoo have carried out research on PC players and concluded that over 30 percent spent time enjoying the battle royale genre last month (February 2018). Fortnite had a share of 16.3 percent, while PUBG had 14.6 percent. Games like DayZ, H1Z1, and Ark: Survival of the Fittest were also featured on the list of potential games, but had less than 5% share each.
Over 30 percent of all PC players spent time playing a battle royale game during February! I find that pretty insane, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, what with how these games are continuing to grow and break new milestones!
