Spring is in the air and that can only mean one thing: new monsters to hunt. Monster Hunter World has kicked off its Spring Blossom Fest this evening, which adds seasonal decorations, daily activities, and of course, some new loot. It runs until April 19 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.

During the festivities, the Gathering Hub is decorated with flowers and other springtime accoutrements. Event Quests will be running throughout the festival, starting with a quest for the community-designed Wyvern Ignition Great Sword. Starting on April 13, players can start an Event Quest to earn the Mega Man armor. It gives your Palico a boxy look and it plays classic Mega Man tunes according to your selected weapon.

The Spring Blossom Fest will also be running daily Limited Bounties. These should give you a reason to continue logging in, even after you’ve gotten your hands on the new weapon.

Capcom is keeping the Monster Hunter World train rolling with pretty frequent updates. Its first big update added the fearsome Deviljho, but the game has sported plenty of smaller updates and events besides that one. We’ve seen fairly constant changes, tweaks, and rotating costume events, like the launch event for Horizon Zero Dawn gear. Most recently it added a very odd helmet for the discerning monster hunter who has everything.

Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch are often held up as great examples of evolving games, with Ubisoft and Blizzard continuing to support their multiplayer titles long after their respective release dates. In the time since launch, we’ve had everything from brand new characters and maps, to cosmetics that help keep everything fresh. Both games are excellent team-based multiplayer shooters, both utilize a hero system to add depth and replayability, and both have very passionate fanbases. But which game is better?

That’s what our new show, Versus, aims to figure out, in a lighthearted way. The series kicks off with an episode dedicated to pitting the much-loved two shooters against one another. Seasoned Overwatch player Tamoor Hussain is in the red corner, fighting for Blizzard’s colorful shooter over a three-round argument. Oscar Dayus, meanwhile, is over in the blue corner championing Rainbow Six Siege.

The discussion begins with randomly selected topics, and the pair argue in support of their respective games. Amongst the serious analysis of each title, there’s also some fun-poking and jokes at each other’s expense, as with all good debates. Be sure to watch till the end to see the quick-fire round… it goes places.

Let us know who you think won the debate in the comments below, or head over to YouTube to vote in our official poll, and we’ll let you know who wins the most votes in next week’s episode. For more on Tamoor’s favorite shooter, check out the trailer for Overwatch Archives event and its Retribution mission. For more on Oscar’s game of choice, take a look at some possible new Rainbow Six Operator leaks.

Check back next week for another episode of Versus, where we’ll be debating whether PS4 or Xbox One has the better exclusive games so far–it’s sure to get heated. New episodes of Versus drop every Wednesday at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST / 11 PM AET on GameSpot.com and YouTube.

A new Fortnite update is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, but in addition to checking out the new stuff it has to offer, Battle Royale players have some other things they can now do. Fortnite‘s week 4 challenges recently rolled out for Battle Pass owners, and some of them might prove to be tricky.

The full list of challenges is outlined below; one requires you getting the right weapon and utilizing it efficiently (dealing a specific amount of damage with a sniper rifle), while another has you tracking down chests in the Flush Factory or supply drops around the map. There are two in particular that you might need some help with.

The first of these is not labeled as Hard; you’re told to visit five different ice cream trucks. These are scattered around the map–there are more than five in total, with a handful located right inside major locations like Tomato Town, Pleasant Park, and Retail Row. Others are in less obvious locations, though you can track them all down with this map shared by Reddit user imkairu.

What is labeled as Hard is the challenge that reads, “Search between a Vehicle Tower, Rock Sculpture, and a Circle of Hedges.” That somewhat vague clue is pointing you toward a point in the southeast corner of the map, in the G9 section. It’s just on the edge of some water–you can see it in this screenshot from Reddit user __Kaneda__, or see the map they provided here.

You can check out all of the week 4 challenges below. Keep in mind that, despite being added weekly, you have the entirety of Season 3 to finish these out. That means you can also go back to complete previous weekly challenges. Week 5’s challenges are now available.

Weekly challenges are only available to those who own the new Season 3 Battle Pass, which costs 950 V-Bucks. It expands the number of optional tasks you’re given in Battle Royale and allows you to unlock more items like outfits, gliders, and emotes. The Season 3 Battle Pass also includes new types of items, such as loading screens and Back Bling. Check out our gallery of Battle Pass rewards for a look at everything you can get.

Blizzard has unveiled Retribution, a new mission that will be coming to Overwatch as part of the Overwatch Archives event. Like 2017’s Uprising, which allowed players to experience Tracer’s first ever mission as part of Overwatch, Retribution delves into another key moment in the series’ lore.

“Travel eight years into the past and join Blackwatch as they seek to capture a high-ranking member of the Talon organization,” Blizzard explains. “Fight in the streets of Venice as Genji, Moira, McCree, or Reyes (later known as Reaper) to complete the mission and unlock pieces of the past with over 100 items from last year and 60 new ones—including highlight intros, emotes, sprays, and more.”

The trailer, which you can watch above, shows Genji, Moira, McCree, and Reyes infiltrating a building. Naturally, everything goes wrong and before long they’re fighting for their lives in a desperate escape. Of course, the characters are wearing their Blackwatch costumes, which will be available to unlock during the game, along with numerous other cosmetic items.

Last year’s Uprising mode will also be playable during the Overwatch Archives event, and can be played in Story Mode or All Heroes Mode. Story Mode will properly retell Tracer’s first mission in King’s Row, with four heroes available: Tracer, Mercy, Reinhardt, and Torbjorn. All Heroes Mode, meanwhile, lets you play the same King’s Row mission but as any hero you want. As announced previously, the new Uprising event goes live on April 10.

Overwatch was one of the subjects of Versus, a new, fun debate show on GameSpot. In the first episode ,Tamoor Hussain–an Overwatch fan–and Oscar Dayus–who loves Rainbow Six Siege–argue over which game is better, discussing categories such as characters and map design, before having a much lighter quick-fire question round.
