With Fortnite servers reaching an all-time high due to the quarantine, and still some time before Season 2 Chapter 2 comes to a conclusion, Epic is taking every opportunity to give players more things to do, and more things to collect. With a roster of countless skins and other items added to the game, it seems even Deadpool can't help adding things into that cramped messy bathroom. Deadpool's computer has been the hub for weekly challenges in order to unlock him but now, there's a small hidden secret within, and it's a skiing mini-game!
Deadpool has always been an icon of comedy and absurdity, so it isn't very unlike him to bring that with him wherever he goes, even it's in a different franchise on an entirely different platform. Once the week seven challenges dropped, Deadpool was finally acquirable and even if players are jumping back in the game now, the week 7 challenge completions are all you really need to unlock him. Fortunately, if you haven't unlocked Deadpool it doesn't matter because the mini-game is accessible to everyone so here's how to play
How to Play Deadpool's Hidden Mini-game in Fortnite
It's pretty simple. Depending on the platform players use, accessing it is slightly different but essentially the same. On PC, players should X out the window for the weekly challenges and notice the Deadpool icon on the bottom left. Once the cursor is over it, double-clicking the icon will open the retro style mini-game showcasing Deadpool on a pair of skis. For console players, after entering the computer press RB, R, or R1 and the challenge menu will disappear giving the desktop icons on the left will be in clear view. This is unfortunately misleading as the left stick will not scroll a cursor around and allow players to click on the icon. Instead, players must press the top button (Y on Xbox) on the right side of the controller and the game will suddenly appear. There is no clear goal or objective to the mini-game as the score continually goes up even if players mess up. Rather the goal may be to see how long players can last without slipping up! There are trees, unstable snow, and roaming enemies that look like bananas that can cause Deadpool to crash or unbalance him. Players can jump over the unstable snow piles, and there are ramps giving some extra air time to get over any pesky larger obstacles. There's no determined time this mini-game will be up, and it seems to be nothing more than another way to kill some time. The score should reset after leaving the game entirely so use this as a challenge to survive without crashing!
Fortnite is available on Xbox, PS4, Switch, and PC.
