Fortnite Week 4 Secret Banner Location Guide (Season 8 Discovery Challenge)
Week 4 of Fortnite Season 8 has arrived, and with it a new batch of challenges to complete across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. Clear this week’s challenges and you’ll earn more Battle Stars, leveling your Battle Pass up and bringing you another step closer to unlocking Season 8’s new skins and rewards. But there’s another good reason to complete all of the tasks; doing so will also clear one of this season’s Discovery challenges, earning you a special loading screen that points to a free Battle Star or Banner hiding somewhere around the island.
Which of those two items you’ll be able to find depends on which loading screen you’ve unlocked, which in turn is determined by how many weekly sets of challenges you’ve completed this season. If you’ve finished four weeks’ worth of them, you’ll receive the loading screen pictured below. This one features a regal Peely being carried up the volcano while a procession of lowlier bananas trails behind. Look closely at the background, however, and you’ll be able to spot a Banner hanging from one of the torches lining the path.
That torch marks the spot where this week’s free Banner will appear, and it’s fortunately very easy to get to. The quickest way to find it is to glide toward the volcano at the beginning of a match. As you can see on the map below, the torch is along the patch leading to the mouth of the volcano. Make your way to it and the Banner will pop up as you approach. Collect it just as you would any other item then finish the match and the Banner will be yours to use as a new profile icon.
If you need another look at where the Banner is hiding, you can watch us collect it in the video at the top of this guide. However, like other secret Banners and Battle Stars, the item will only appear if you’ve completed enough challenges and unlocked the Peely loading screen; you won’t be able to simply go to the right location and expect to find the Banner unless you’ve fulfilled all the necessary steps.
If you need help completing any of this season’s previous challenges, you can find more tips and guides in our full Season 8 challenges roundup. In other Fortnite news, Epic has recently rolled out the game’s 8.11 update, which introduced a new weapon–the Flint-Knock Pistol–and unvaulted the Impulse Grenade. The patch also adjusted the spawn rater for the Baller–this season’s new vehicle. You can read the full patch notes here.

Sekiro Guide Roundup: Ogre Strategy, Dragonrot Cure, And More
In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, From Software takes a step away from the stamina-focused action RPG gameplay it popularized with Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, and Bloodborne. If you think your experience with the Soulsborne games is going to make your journey in Sekiro an easy one, think again.
There are plenty of similar themes to be sure. Even though Sekiro takes place in a more realistic setting in comparison to the likes of Lodran or Yharnam, Ashina is still a society on the edge of complete collapse and home to a host of nightmarish monsters and god-like figures. The playable protagonist, Wolf, is also a stoic, undying figure, whose ability to return from the dead is the only reason he’s able to overcome the powerful enemies he encounters.
The similarities pretty much end there, though. Combat in Sekiro is focused on posture instead of stamina, for example, so now deflecting enemy strikes is the ideal path to success. New attacks are unlocked via experience as opposed to weapons found as well. There are plenty of other differences–you can even swim in Sekiro. From Software has crafted a completely different game, and it can all be a little overwhelming to get a grasp on it all. Especially since, without any co-op multiplayer, you’ll have to take on most of the game alone.
If you’re struggling in your journey across Ashina and need a little help, read through our collection of guides. We’ve got most of the early game covered, from the prosthetic upgrades you want to find first to the cure for Dragonrot. We’ll update this hub of information with additional guides as we create them, so be sure to check back on GameSpot whenever you run into a seemingly insurmountable hurdle in Sekiro.
In our Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice review-in-progress, Tamoor Hussain gave the game a 9/10, complementing the game’s “exhilarating combat,” intricate environments that “reward exploration,” and satisfying stealth mechanics “that encourage you to observe and strategize.”

Monster Hunter World PC Will Get Graphics Tweaks In April
Capcom has released a number of updates for Monster Hunter World since it launched last year. Most notably, Dante, Geralt of Rivia, and even Street Fighter’s Ryu have found their way into the game’s expansive world. Ahead of the major Iceborne expansion’s launch this fall, Capcom is planning to release an update that introduces graphical changes to the PC version of the game.
The news comes via a message on Steam. The update, scheduled to go live on April 4, will include a new high-resolution texture pack, and will be available as free DLC through the Steam store. Hunters must make room for 40GB of data on their hard drive and have at least 8GB of VRAM installed to accommodate. Further system requirements will be outlined after the update.
Also in the update is a new “TAA+FXAA” (temporal anti-aliasing and fast approximate anti-aliasing, respectively) option, which will be added to the Advanced Graphics Settings menu. Additionally, when selecting the “Take All” option, all items will display at the rewards screen upon quest completion. Hunters using the “Focus Camera” option should notice smoother, more precise mouse controls. “Friends Can Join” will be included in the Private Session Settings, and, finally, the update will include bug fixes related to localization and more, though Capcom hasn’t specified what other bugs will be ironed out.
Check the full list of updates coming to Monster Hunter World below.
Major New Features/Design Changes:
- Added support for High-Resolution Texture Pack DLC.
- You can change to high-resolution in-game textures by downloading this pack as free DLC from the Steam store.
- Note: The High-Resolution Texture Pack requires at least 40GB of free space and 8GB of graphics memory (VRAM). We will provide more detailed information on the system requirements after the update.
- Added a “TAA+FXAA” option to Anti-Aliasing in the Advanced Graphics Settings.
- When selecting “Take All” at the rewards screen after completing a quest, a list of all items received will now be displayed.
- Added a new mouse control type that is less sensitive to unintentional movement when controlling the Focus Camera with the mouse.
- Added a “Friends Can Join” option to the Private Session Settings.
- Various bug fixes, including localization-related issues.
In our Monster Hunter World review, Ginny Woo said that the “Monster Hunter formula has definitely honed its claws, [making] Monster Hunter World a meaningful evolution for the series at large.”
