9. Fortnite
Genre: Action / Adventure / Battle Royale
This is not just an ordinary Battle Royale kind of game. In this season, Fortnite gave us a “Secret Agent” theme and what can we say? This is one of the coolest battle pass ever! Be a spy and discover secret hideouts, secret passages, and use new gadgets! You can create your own unique look and upgrade your weapons, as well.
But first, who will you be teaming up between the two covert operatives? Ghost or Shadows? Is it with Ghost team, dressed in white tuxedo and waistcoats? Or with Shadows team, dressed in all black that looks totally edgy at all. To choose between the two, you must head to the Agents Section. You can also choose from the five new agents which one you are going to play: Brutus, TNTina, Meowscles, Skye, and Midas.
Who are these five new agents?
Brutus is known as the goon in the gang. He is also the boss in Grotto. His weapon is a mini gun that is considered as a mythic rarity weapon. Even though it’s small in size since it is a mini gun, it is definitely an extreme strong weapon to use in fighting the opponent.
TNTina, the cool girl in the troop and can be found in the Rig, a facility found in the sea. She owns a powerful sharp boom bow. You can easily snipe enemies and scream, bulls eye! Certified beast weapon!
Meowscles is not just a cat. Don’t you dare belittle him! Meowscles’ weapon is called “Meowscles’ Peow Peow Rifle”. Funny as it may sound but this is a strong mythic rarity weapon. It is a variant of Heavy Assault Rifle. In just one shot, the opponent can have a lot of damages. Meowscles is currently residing in a Box Factory location. Better go there and get that peow peow rifle!
Skye is a boss at The Shark. Who said that girls can’t be bosses? As a boss, she also owns a Mythical Assault Rifle and it is considered as one of the best weapons in the game specifically in Season 2!
Midas, the Spy Boss at the Agents Section. He may have a dashing appeal but he is more than that. We all know the tale of “Midas Touch” and he portrays it. Whatever he touches will turn into gold. That is one of his mechanisms. Aside from that, he obtains the “Midas’ Tommy Gun” or also known as “Midas’ Drum Gun”. His gun is considered one of the best guns in the game and causes more damage when shot close to a medium range.
Well, the only advice that we can give is, choose wisely because the future is in your hands. Be sure to make the right decision.
