In one of the more interesting pieces of wrestling news 2020 has had to offer thus far, Simone Johnson--AKA daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johson--has signed a deal with WWE to begin training at the company's performance center. Now, with the 18-year-old trainee--and WWE's first-ever fourth-generation superstar--preparing to embark on a new career, two of WWE's biggest names have some sage advice for her.Reigning Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, for instance, wants to make sure Johnson knows the uphill battle that's ahead of her. "Look, she's got some big shoes to fill, but she's gonna do it. I know her. I know how much of a hard worker she is," Lynch said at a press conference for Wrestlemania 37 in Los Angeles. "The game has changed with the last year, You saw me main event WrestleMania. I ended up leaving holding two belts of my head and the crowd was still going. There's never been a time like this for women in the sport. We're just gotta keep going. We just got to keep changing the game."Former WWE Champion Roman Reigns, on the other hand, wants Johnson--his real-life cousin--to realize the importance of finding her own personality in the industry, rather than relying on recreating what her movie star dad did during his tenure in the company.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Along with the host of new skins, changes, and other content the big Season 2 update has introduced to the game, the first set of Season 2 challenges is now live, and this time things are a little different.To tie into Season 2's spy theme, weekly missions will revolve around Fortnite's new agents--the character skins you can unlock via the Season 2 Battle Pass. If you complete enough of these challenges, you'll eventually unlock a special "final mission." You'll be able to choose between Ghost or Shadow versions of this mission, which will then unlock a corresponding new style for that character skin. However, your choice will be permanent, so you'll need to think carefully about which style you want.The first set of weekly challenges is called Brutus's Briefing. If you're a Fortnite veteran, you'll see the usual assortment of tasks among the list; one asks you to search seven chests at specific locations, while another challenges you to throw three different shield or healing items. There are a couple of spy-themed missions among the bunch, however, such as one that asks you to disguise yourself in a Phone Booth in three different matches. You can see all the Brutus's Briefing challenges available so far below and consult our guides for some trickier ones that ask you to land at Lockie's Lighthouse, Apres Ski, and Mount Kay and track down phone booths.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The map will remain in the game for the weekend, leaving on Monday, February 24.Apex Legends' original map will return as a separate playlist in the game, allowing you to play in unranked on either Kings Canyon or World's Edge.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 has officially begun, offering the usual suite of changes. You can get started completing challenges with a new Battle Pass, earning new cosmetic rewards like skins and back bling, and take part in some new game mechanics to go with this season's spy theme. And of course, you'll be playing all of this on a revamped map.The changeover from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 represented a huge shift in the Fortnite playing field, but this one is a more modest update similar to the changes between seasons in Chapter 1. The map is fundamentally the same, with new landmarks and points of interest, some of which are involved in the latest set of seasonal challenges.The biggest and most noticeable change is the addition of the Agency, a sprawling spy fortress with enemy henchmen and chutes to hide in for the true espionage-action feel. This replaces the area previously known as Eye-Land. Other bases are scattered throughout different areas, each housing a number of enemy henchmen: the Grotto in the southeast, the Yacht in the northeast, the Shark in the northwest, and the Rig in the southwest.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This time around, Fortnite's weekly missions will be themed around the new agent character skins you can unlock through the Season 2 Battle Pass. The first set of challenges is called Brutus's Briefing, and one of its trickier tasks is to land at Lockie's Lighthouse, Apres Ski, and Mount Kay. If you're not sure where any of those areas are located, we've put together this map and guide to help you out.Where Are Lockie's Lighthouse, Apres Ski, And Mount Kay Locations?You'll need to land at three specific locations in order to complete these challenges. While the challenge tells you the names of the locations, they're not explicitly pointed out on the game's map, so you may have some trouble tracking them down if you're not already familiar with the layout of the island. Fortunately, all three are fairly easy to find.Lockie's Lighthouse is found on the northernmost part of the map, in grid C1. Apres Ski is on the opposite end of the island; you'll find it atop a mountain southwest of Misty Meadow, in grid E8. Mount Kay is relatively close by; it's located in grid G7. We've highlighted where all three locations are on the map below.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
