Gaming Fortnite .

Just started playing the game regularly. Anyone interested in playing duos or squads? My epic account id is Abhayselvan.
 
Well for a start, I like the no tutorial just play thing, you want to get good? Practice. Plus they already get a lot of stick for catering to the casuals more and more.


However I don't see why they haven't just had a free-play offline mode to practice in to solve all the problems. We can't all be streamers and play 8hrs a day, I don't see why they can't just let you drop in the map empty and play around.
It's happening:

Playground LTM (v1)
The Playground LTM will load you into the Battle Royale Map with some adjusted settings.

Battle and build to your heart's content with an extended period of time to roam around the map as well as increased resource generation. All treasure chests and ammo crates will be spawned, try droppin’ in different spots and scope out the loot. Friendly fire is on so you can scrimmage with your squad (up to 4 friends per match), but fear not you’ll respawn immediately.

Oh … and Lloads of Llamas.

Note: Stats and Challenges will not be tracked in this mode

This represents our initial step into what a creative mode looks like in Fortnite. Practice, strategize and enjoy yourself. We can’t wait to see what you do!
 
Getting really really good with the Hunting Rifle.

Played 2 Solos yesterday before the squad came online.

First game, 3 hunting rifle headshot kills. Finished second because I got stupid at the end and didn't take it seriously.

Second game, 3 hunting rifle headshot kills.
Finished first with 7 kills, no surprise the last kill was a headshot hunting rifle kill.

Also had a jumping target who I hit with a headshot with the hunting rifle the other day. That was so fecking good.

Yeah for medium range I much prefer it, I don't like scopes on snipers.

Long range though it just doesn't have the zoom to compete with a bolt action.

Yeah, the hunting rifle is brilliant for medium range and quick scoping.
 
Getting marginally better. Won another solo game where I actually got a few kills and didn't just camp. Still pretty gash at building, although changing my controls to the builder pro option has made me a bit quicker.

Need someone to carry me on duos/squads on PS4.
 
I hide away most of the game to finish. Finish within Top 5 most of the times I play with 0 kills :nervous:

My advice would be die more but try to get kills. It's the only way you're going to get better. If you're on PS4, I can help.
 
I haven't played a single second of this game but wouldn't mind giving it a go on the Switch. My question is, can i play this game without building? I really don't think i can get into that aspect it.

Or can i just keep it to a minimum, at least, and still enjoy it?

I'm not an expert but I can hols my own in a build fight.

Without building you'd probably win 1 game in a 1000. I'm not saying build a fort in 5 seconds but get the wall/ramp and you'll ace this game.

Yeah i thought i wouldn't be able to get away with it. It's the only thing that's putting me off it so far. I'll give it a go though.
 
Another patch, another batch of shite bugs because they've rushed it out again.

There's an even more serious memory leak going on now too, this is what happens when you have no testing time. It's so amateur.

My favorite weapon too. How good are you with the shotgun? I'm horrible at them and prefer LMGs or tactical submachine guns.

I was extremely good with the pump before the nerf. Like yesterday I hit someone for 31 damage and 60 damage with the pump whereas before I'd 1 pump that fecker.

That's why I'm trying to avoid shotgun fights nowadays hence my fascination with the hunting rifle.

My building is getting better now with the Builder Pro controls. I build up and get into a good position for the one-shot kill with the pump and then miss it! Even switched my jump key to R3 so that I can turn while on the jump. Nothing seems to work :lol:

Keep going at it. Builder Pro is amazing, I rarely die without building nowadays, it's so easy to cover yourself if you got shot really well with the first shot.
 
On console tac smg is always the way, especially sinces the buff. On PC I go silenced Smg.

I only tend to carry 1 shotty at the most now and even then only a blue or higher. Especially whilst the dual pistols are so OP before the inevitable nerf.
 
So apparently if you're playing today around 5.30pm you'll get too see a rocket launch in game.
 
Anyone fancy a game tonight?

Ps4 or Xbox, ideally someone who will mic up
 
Was there?
Hell yeah, it was at 6:30 and it was insane. Everyone gathered around the rocket and stopped fighting (mostly until the big kids came and killed us all).

However I enjoyed watching vicariously through someone else’s screen it flew around tilted and risky reels and flew into the sky creating like a portal of some sort?
 
I was smart and landed my squad on castle rock, we got the best view and no idiots trying to kill us ;)

The event was cool but a bit of a let down in that it kind of just happened then we were left with that split in the sky. I was expecting some kind of mass alien invasion we all had to kill or something. Maybe a bit too much though :lol:

I dunno, all I expected was the rocket to launch. I knew something would fall off but I assumed it would destroy a part of the map.

Then all off a sudden you've got rockets flying all over the place and lights / explosions :lol: it was pretty cool.

The rift is obviously there to act as some sort of portal for the new season.
 
Just downloaded this on my iPad, Ive got no idea what to do, can someone give me a quick explanation, im pressing on stuff but nothing happens , and how do I change my sex and upgrade stuff?
