The Lego Fortnite building set collection just gained a new member: Mecha Team Leader (77078). Revealed back in April, the 2,503-piece robot kit finally launched August 1 at the Lego Store and major retailers. The $250 building set is the second display model designed for adults in the collection; the first, Peely Bone, is one of three Fortnite Lego sets from the original launch lineup that’s discounted at multiple major retailers right now. The 1,414-piece Peely Bone model is on sale for $92 (was $100), so if you want a Fortnite Lego set ripe for display without spending $250, the impressive banana-skeleton model is worth checking out.
The other two Fortnite Lego sets that are on sale are extremely friendly on the wallet. Lego’s replica of the iconic Supply Llama is a nearly 700-piece build that’s up grabs for only $34 (was $40). The 193-piece Durrr Burger is always cheap with its $15 MSRP, but right now you can get it for $11.

Lego Fortnite Building Sets
Lego’s Fortnite series debuted last fall with four sets, the trio of discounted builds mentioned above, and the 954-piece Battle Bus, which has yet to drop below its $100 MSRP. The same can be said for the three sets added to the lineup in June–Klombo, Durrr Burger Restaurant, and Peely & Sparkplug’s Camp–but that’s not all too surprising considering they launched two months ago.
All Lego Fortnite sets include a QR code on the instruction manual to redeem a free cosmetic for Lego Fortnite the video game. The four launch sets come with the same bonus–Operation Brite Starter Pack–but each of the four sets released this year includes a bonus that is unique to that product.
Here’s the full Lego Fortnite series as of August 2025. We included a detailed breakdown for all eight Fortnite Lego sets below, and we’ll continue to add to this roundup as more playsets and display models are revealed.
$250
Mecha Team Leader is the most complex and detailed build in the Lego Fortnite lineup. The completed 2,503-piece figure is 17.5 inches tall and is chock-full of references to other characters and places in Fortnite. Just like in the game, the formidable robot is an amalgamation of five different styles. The robot’s blue left leg features a Durrr Burger foot, while the right leg is inspired by Uncle Pete’s Pizza Pit and ends with a Tomatohead foot.
Mecha Team Leader’s right arm is even more chaotic, as the Rex inspiration makes it look like a dinosaur is wielding the Sword of Singularity with its teeth. The left arm is modeled after the legendary fox Drift. The beautiful absurdity of the design is rounded out by the Cuddle Team Leader-inspired head and chest armor. Mecha Team Leader is basically a killer robot teddy bear. Sid from Toy Story would be impressed.
The Lego version of Mecha Team Leader has articulated hips, arms, feet, and a rotating head. A hatch on the robot’s chest opens to reveal a cockpit for the included Cuddle Team Leader minifigure. The figure can also be displayed next to the buildable name placard.
The set includes two bonus outfits for Lego Fortnite the video game: Mecha Team Leader and Mecha Team Shadow.
Despite Mecha Team Leader’s many callbacks to Fortnite lore, this set probably has the broadest appeal of any in the lineup. It would probably look cool on a display shelf next to Lego’s Optimus Prime Transformers build. Ironically, Mecha Team Leader launched the same day as Soundwave, the latest addition to the Lego Icons: Transformers lineup.
$92 (was $100)
Prior to Mecha Team Leader, the Peely Bone buildable statue was the elaborate build in the series. The 1,414-piece display model was one of the four building sets that launched the Lego Fortnite series last fall. Like Mecha Team Leader, Peely Bone is packaged in a black box, which means it’s geared toward adult collectors and experienced builders.
When fully pieced together and connected to the buildable stand, Peely Bone is over 14 inches tall and wields the Peely Pick Pickaxe and Paint Launcher. A Banana Bag Back Bling attaches to his back.
The included stand with a placard on the front may make Peely seem statuesque, but you can move the figures arms and bend the wrists to create different poses.
Peely Bone’s half-skeleton, half-banana has a practical benefit here for those who enjoy dynamic builds, as you’re working with entirely different pieces on each side. Plus, Peely Bone simply looks awesome, and the Lego replica is quite clever from a design perspective.
Peely Bone, like all of the Lego Fortnite launch sets, includes the in-game Operation Brite Starter Pack bonus.
At 1,414 pieces, the $100 build offers pretty great value–and even better value right now since it’s on sale for $92.
$34 (was $40)
The Supply Llama has been Fortnite’s main mascot since launch, and this set lets you piece together your own Llama Piñata out of Lego bricks. You probably don’t want to smack it with a baseball bat or stick, though.
The 691-piece Supply Llama Lego set is 9.5 x 3 x 6 inches and has a saddle compartment to store seven accessories: Grappler, Slurp Juice, Rough Ruby, Good Luck Charm, Slap Juice (two bottles), Dynamite, and Back Pack. The Supply Llama’s mouth can move, too.
The Supply Llama was a launch set, so you’ll get the Operation Brite Starter Pack bonus.
Even at its full $40 price, the Supply Llama is cheaper than many licensed sets with around 700 pieces. The current $34 deal price makes it an absolute bargain.
$11 (was $15)
This 193-piece build recreates the mascot from the in-game fast food restaurant. The Durrr Burger Lego set is 4.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches, so it’s substantially smaller than most of the building sets in the Lego Fortnite lineup. That said, it’s on sale for only $11 and includes Operation Brite Starter Pack.
$100
The Battle Bus is a 954-piece set that recreates the game’s signature balloon-propelled flying bus. The detailed model of the Battle Bus is 11 x 11 x 5 inches. It wouldn’t be the Battle Bus without players to drop on the battlefield, so the playset comes with nine Fortnite minifigures, each of which is armed with a weapon and can be seated in the bus:
Adventure PeelyBattalion BrawlerBrite BomberCuddle Team LeaderCube AssassinMeowsclesRavenTrespasser EliteDrift
The cleverly designed balloon is actually an attachment that, along with the roof, can be removed from the bus when you want to access the interior seating. Accessories include Slap Juice, the Grappler, Slurp Juice, and several Pickaxes. The wheels turn, so the Battle Bus could join your next Lego Mario Kart or F1 race.
The Battle Bus comes with the Lego Fortnite Operation Brite Starter Pack to redeem in the video game.
$23
Peely & Sparkplug’s Camp is a 250-piece set with a buildable workbench and campfire in the remnants of a destroyed structure. The main draw of this budget-friendly playset are the characters. It has a buildable wolf with posable legs, a small Supply Llama, and three minifigures with accessories: Peely with a sword, Skeleton with a pickaxe, and Sparkplug with a torch.
The $23 set includes the Sparkplug rare outfit as a bonus in-game item.
$110
Klombo is the largest Lego Fortnite playset so far at 1,084 pieces. Nearly all of the pieces in the box are used to build the six-legged creature that is essentially a dinosaur. It has an impressive number of interactive components. He’s essentially an action figure, as he has the following posable features:
Mouth opens/closesTurnable headArticulated legs (all six)Adjustable spikes/hairRotating tail
Klombo is accompanied by two minifigures, Adventure Peely and Oro. You can connect the figures to Klombo’s back, or they can feed the dino with the included Klomberry bush accessory with removable berries.
The set includes the Island Adventure Peely in-game outfit as a bonus.
$65
The 546-piece Durrr Burger Restaurant launched in June as the first building from the world of Fortnite to be turned into a Lego set. The completed restaurant–well, it’s more like a half-restaurant–measures 10.5 inches tall thanks to the buildable Durrr Burger attached to the restaurant’s sign. It’s 7 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep.
Inside the restaurant, you’ll build a cash register, soda machine, and condiment station for your minifigures. The two-story build has an attic with a storage container for accessories like a shovel and dynamite. The build is modular, so you can remove the attic and rearrange/combine with other Fortnite Lego sets. On the outside, there’s a drive-thru menu and a decorative spicy pepper plant.
Durrr Burger Restaurant includes four minifigures:
Beach BomberBeef BossGrimeySkeleton
The bonus in-game item for this set is a Beef Boss Outfit.
After several years on the sidelines, hype for the next Battlefield is starting to grow. Initial hands-on impressions, including our own, have been positive, and early footage is doing everything it can to channel the vibes of the series’ peak with Battlefield 3 and 4. One thing that fans worry could throw a wrench in that plan is the modern multiplayer obsession with profiting off of licensed skins and other silly cosmetics. They can be fun. They can also turn a supposedly gritty military shooter into a playground for branded cosplay. But it sounds like Battlefield 6 plans to avoid that siren call altogether.
“It has to be grounded. That is what BF3 and BF4 was—it was all soldiers, on the ground. It’s going to be like this,” EA DICE design director Shashank Uchil told DBLTAP at a preview event in London this week. “I don’t think it needs Nicki Minaj. Let’s keep it real, keep it grounded.” The sentiment was echoed elsewhere as well. “What I will say is what’s really important to us is that things feel grounded, and we want people to express themselves and to have cool skins and peacock in a way like ‘I look pretty cool and I have this great weapon skin,’” DICE producer Alexia Christofi told ComicBook. “But we want it to feel authentic to the franchise, that’s the approach we’re thinking.”
Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj came to Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare II back in 2023. It caught players completely by surprise and pushed the envelop on the types of celebrity collaborations fans expected in gaming. It was also just the beginning of a flood of crossover content that would overtake the traditional Call of Duty experience, with players just as likely to be running around as Beavis and Butthead or Rick and Morty. While Activision was making bank, players were getting burnt out. “‘This is Incredibly Lame’ Call of Duty Fans Unhappy With Seth Rogen Skin,” read one headline from earlier this year.
Of course, the reason Call of Duty, Fortnite, and other big shooters sell goofy skins is because that’s what players will actually fork over money for. Activision makes more from microtransactions than it does from selling the actual games. So does EA. Fans might be relieved to see Battlefield 6 bucking one of its biggest rival’s biggest trends, but we’ll see how long DICE can stick to its guns if the game delivers on the vision its developers are promising.
After teasing the existence of a new Darksiders game last year, THQ Nordic has confirmed what we all had already assumed: Darksiders 4 is coming.
The new game will pick up directly after the events of the original Darksiders, which was the first game released but is actually the last chronologically, taking place after Darksiders II, Darksiders III, and Darksiders: Genesis.
At the end of Darksiders, we saw War summoning the other Riders. His last words are repeated here in the new trailer.
THQ Nordic isn’t showing us too much of Darksiders 4, though. The trailer only really confirms that all four Horsemen will be in the game and playable. No release date was announced, but we do know it will launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
“Darksiders 4 is a 3rd person action adventure game featuring combat, traversal and puzzle solving in a lore rich post apocalyptic world,” says the blurb on the official website.
Choose Your HorsemanTake up one of the legendary Horsemen—each with their own unique weapons and combat styles
Expansive Realms to ExploreJourney through apocalyptic landscapes – each teeming with secrets, enemies, and mythic bosses.
I don’t mind telling you, I’m hyped for this. While the series hasn’t been the most consistent in terms of quality, it has a certain hokey, fun vibe that clicks with me. And I especially love how each game has been something different, so I’m eager to see how they combine all of that for this fourth installment.
The Orb Weaver Egg is a crucial resource for unlocking the best buggy, Orb Weaver Spider, in Grounded 2. Throughout the main campaign story of Grounded 2 (early access), you will only have access to the Red Soldier Ant Buggy. It is quite enough to get you through the whole campaign, but the best buggy comes after the story ends. In this guide, we will tell you where to find the Orb Weaver Egg in Grounded 2.
Where to Find the Orb Weaver Egg in Grounded 2
There are two different locations where you can find Orb Weaver Eggs. The first location is the nest underneath BURG.L’s body. It is located in the center of the map between the Snackbar Front and the Ceremony regions. While progressing through the main story, you will come to this location during the Networking quest. Upon reaching the body, circle it to find a nest going underneath the body. Enter the nest to find a couple of Orb Weaver Eggs.
NOTE: This location has a few Orb Weaver Spiders and a potential Wolf Spider as well. So, be aware of it.
The second location, which I personally find easier than the first one, is the Street Light. It is the same location as the Wolf Spider Boss. This location is on the northern corner of the Snackbar Front region and between the Picnic Table and Grass Games regions. If you have defeated the Wolf Spider boss at this location, you might be familiar with it. You need to go to the front of the street light to find an entrance to the nest. There will be a spawn of a couple of Orb Weaver Eggs around the nest.
NOTE: This location has a potential spawn of a Wolf Spider.
How to Get the Orb Weaver Egg Easily
Acquiring the Orb Weaver Egg is comparatively difficult than the Red Soldier Ant Egg. You cannot store the Orb Weaver Egg in your backpack. Instead, you will have to carry it. The best method to take the egg and bring it back to the Hatchery is to use the Red Soldier Ant Buggy. Make sure that you come to one of the Orb Weaver Egg locations on your buggy. It is because the Red Soldier Ant Buggy can hold the Egg for you.
If you are quick enough, you can enter the nest and pick up the egg, and leave without aggroing any enemy spider. Alternatively, you can lure the spiders out of the nests and wrap around them to pick up the egg and make the escape.

Prepare for a Flawless Victory for video game preservation as Digital Eclipse, the studio renowned for its meticulous work in restoring gaming classics, has teamed up with Warner Bros to announce Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection.
Set to launch in 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, this is poised to be the ultimate historical compilation of the franchise’s brutal and brilliant beginnings.
More Than a Kollection, It’s a Museum
This isn’t just another bundle of old games; it’s a comprehensive, interactive museum dedicated to one of the most influential series of all time, curated by the experts in digital restoration.
Digital Eclipse is aiming to do far more than just re-release these klassic titles. A centrepiece of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is an interactive documentary chronicling the series’ groundbreaking history. This will include rare concept art, archival video, and exclusive interviews – both new and vintage – with original creators Ed Boon, John Tobias, Dan Forden, and John Vogel, among many others.
The goal is to provide crucial context to the games, telling the compelling origin story of how a small team created a cultural phenomenon that forever changed the industry.
“Mortal Kombat irrevocably altered the cultural landscape of video games. It was audacious, shocking, and unflinching. It marked a seismic shift in interactive entertainment, pulling the industry into a more provocative, mature direction that continues to influence game design and cultural discourse over three decades later,” said Mike Mika, Studio Head at Digital Eclipse. “With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, we set out not just to preserve its legacy, but to contextualize it – inviting players to experience its origins, trace its evolution, and appreciate the bold vision that transformed it into a global icon. For us, this project is both tribute and testament.”
The Definitive Roster of Klassics
The sheer breadth of this collection is staggering. Digital Eclipse is bringing together a vast library of Mortal Kombat titles from the franchise’s arcade, console, and handheld eras.
A major highlight for fighting game fans will be the addition of online support with rollback netcode for many of the arcade and console editions, ensuring a smooth and responsive online multiplayer experience.
The currently announced games in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection include:
Mortal Kombat – 1992 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear)
Mortal Kombat II – 1993 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X)
Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (Arcade, SNES)
Mortal Kombat 4 – 1997 (Arcade)
Mortal Kombat Advance – 2001 (Game Boy Advance)
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance – 2002 (Game Boy Advance)
Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – 2003 (Game Boy Advance)
And in a tantalising tease, Digital Eclipse has confirmed there are even more games to come!
Modern Enhancements, Klassic Brutality
Alongside the historical documentary, the collection will also provide in-depth guides to the lore and conflicts of the Elder Gods, Outworld, Edenia, and Earthrealm throughout the arcade era, complete with helpful character backstories.
Each title in the kollection will also be enhanced with a variety of optional quality-of-life features. While the specifics will be detailed closer to launch, players can expect modern conveniences that make these classics more accessible than ever without compromising their original challenge and charm.
The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is shaping up to be an essential purchase for both long-time fans and anyone curious about the origins of a true gaming icon. Prepare yourself for a Test of Might, later in 2025.
Battlefield 6 has been officially revealed. EA spelled a lot of the beans as part of the worldwide multiplayer gameplay reveal event, which also featured hours of live gameplay from hundreds of content creators.
All of that is to say: most of the important details have been confirmed. That also includes certain specifics that have to do with the PC version of the game, and you can be certain not everyone is going to enjoy this news.

Battlefield Studios has confirmed that Battlefield 6 will launch with Javelin Anticheat on PC, EA’s own kernel-level anticheat programme, which runs in the background to detect and prevent cheats. Javelin Anticheat was given its name in April this year, but the tech has been around since 2022 in some form.
EA has already implemented Javelin in several of its games, including EA FC, Madden, the F1 games, and more besides. The tech – then known as EA Anticheat – first arrived in a Battlefield game with Battlefield 2042’s Season 6, so it only makes sense that the next major entry in the series would launch with it.
Javelin Anticheat will also be present in the upcoming beta, so it’s going to be a good opportunity to test out the tech on a wide range of PC configurations. The beta will also require enabling Secure Boot in Windows. Secure Boot is a Windows security feature that itself relies on TPM 2.0, a hardware security feature that the vast majority of modern PCs support.

The existence of kernel-level anticheat in a major release is neither rare nor is it surprising. Even outside of EA’s own games, many modern releases with core multiplayer elements rely on one brand of kernel-level anticheat or another. Vendors like BattlEye, and Easy Anti-Cheat are some of the most well known.
Battlefield’s major competitor, Call of Duty, has its own solution called Ricochet.
The idea of allowing third-party software – anticheat services, in this case – access to such a low level of your PC’s operating system has always been controversial. The arguments against it are plentiful; it prevents most games that use it from working on Linux/SteamOS, for instance.
It has, however, proven to be one of the most effective against combating many of the tricks modern cheats rely on. It’s obviously not perfect, but it’s become accepted as something you’ll have to enable if you want to play modern AAA multiplayer games.
Battlefield 6 arrives October 10 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The upcoming Marvel Rivals season will bring several game-changing improvements. NetEase has revealed many new things coming with Season 3.5 in its latest Dev Diary, giving us an early look at the mid-season update. Players certainly have a lot to look forward to next week, especially since the season is packed with many changes they requested.
Season 3.5 should drastically improve Marvel Rivals and boost its player count, which has declined over the past few months. So let’s dive deeper and see all the improvements waiting for us in the next season.
Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 will drastically improve the Ranked mode
Marvel Rivals has two core game modes: Quick Play and Ranked. While Quick Play is mainly intended for casual players, Ranked is there primarily for competitors. It’s quite rewarding, but also very competitive, which is not everyone’s cup of tea. Furthermore, there’s a lot of toxicity in Ranked, which is why players tend to avoid it.
Fortunately, the upcoming mid-season update will take care of this. NetEase has announced numerous improvements coming with Season 3.5, including these:
Longer bans from competitive play
Increased penalty for quitters
Bigger point reductions
Point compensation
Surrenders requiring fewer players
Faster appeal process
Players who leave or throw in Ranked will face harsher penalties in Season 3.5. Image by VideoGamer
One of the biggest problems in Marvel Rivals is short suspensions in Ranked mode. However, that will change with the release of the next season, as leavers will face harsher penalties. In addition to this, players who lose games on purpose will get bigger point reductions, while those negatively affected by their teammates will lose fewer points.
Season 3.5 of Marvel Rivals is set to come out on Friday, August 8. It will add a new Duelist, Blade, along with a new map and cosmetics. Furthermore, the season will bring numerous buffs and nerfs.

Fancy playing a rather unique game whereby quick reflexes and time isn’t your friend? Then come and check out ArugulaZ’s latest ColecoVision and MSX speed runner of ‘Solar Fox 2: Space Evaders’. The sequel to an Arcade game that was originally released in 1981 by Bally Midway, with ports to the Atari 2600 console, and as a Commodore-published cartridge for the Commodore 64 computer in 1983. As ever, provided below is the latest footage and game description from the website.
And here’s the details. “The early arcade game Solar Fox, and especially its streamlined Atari 2600 port by CBS Electronics, was a speedrunner’s delight. Your only hope for success was to duck into each stage, grab a big handful of energy cores, and run out before you were caught in a tangle of laser fire. Victory goes to the swift in Solar Fox, with especially nimble players getting an opportunity to skip stages and jump straight to the “challenge racks.” Deviously set clusters of energy cores and a tight time limit stand between you and another letter in the code word known to only the best players”.
