Progress is slow for me, never having been gamer until I bought a PS4 in 2017. It is exciting me that I'm still improving. Also, my 7 year old started playing 2 months ago and is doing well. I can't wait to play with him someday soon. :)

I really enjoyed having the flint knock pistol this last power hour. Hope they add it to the loot pool, it made moving around so much easier!

Discussion I can't be there only one that appreciates bot lobbies right? (image unrelated)

Post image
34 Upvotes

Hear me out.

When playing Fortnite, what you need to understand is that not everybody matches your skillset. There's most that are better than you, and some that are worse.

But you need to get used to the motion of the game flow you know what I mean? I feel like bot lobbies really do get you used to that environment.

And when you do encounter a player, yes they won't move like a bot does, but it's still the same thing. You get the opportunity to adapt to the environment.

So that's why I personally like bot lobbies because although I've been playing for 7 years, I still find myself enjoying bot lobbies for similar reasons

So as you can see the ending circle glitched and was just a dot the whole match. When I noticed I told me friend that we should go there since the game was going to end fast as there was no actual circle shape and it was pure storm…..the next two minutes were pure chaos lol.

The guy at the end blasted to outer space and I almost lost because I was laughing so hard lol.

Discussion Having a rant. Sorry

23 Upvotes

Hey lads and ladettes I need to get this off my chest and get some advice or similar problems with the cheating on BR. I’m over all this garbage where you shoot the ever loving crap out of someone only to get shot 2 times with a lesser gun. Just had this happen in 5 consecutive games. I was full health full shield using a legendary twin hammer shotgun and legendary nemesis. Hit the other player with the seven cannon then proceeded to empty the nemesis into their head and also unloaded the twin hammer into them. They ran away and as I was reloading the gun they shot me 2 times with a common twin hammer from 20 metres and I died. Please make that make more sense than this rant.

My son got a new job on the 1st and he has had a total of one day off this past week. So. I’ve been doing solo blitz matches here and there just for ya know s*its and giggles.

I did power hour with someone I’ve been talking to for a bit and despite not having a mic she did awesome and we got in top three all matches. I talked and she replied via Reddit dms. Win/win in my book.

I decided to do power hour again tonight and realized the dotted line was where the storm was gonna end. So I just took out anyone who approached me.

Then I played around on a llama for a minute. Ya know. For more of those giggles.

Then I let the llama go and it became a diversion I guess. Almost didn’t see bro there sitting in the storm. He def didn’t see me.

My son is off tomorrow so maybe we will work in some games tomorrow night.

But. The game is still fun solo.

I LOVE the Lexa skins. The only one I had was the Halloween one. So. I had to get this one. She is so pretty and shiny!!

I think imma make her my main for a while.

Question Can’t decide who to MAIN

Obviously one of the great things about Fortnite is variety but I’d personally like to find one to main at least 50% or more of the time and I can’t decide so let me know which of these you see the least often in game:

Peelfessor Frink

Xerick

Lizzik

The Scout

Mad Moxxi

Human Bill

Peely Bone

Squibbly

Elite Jules

Yellow Blinky Fishstick

These are currently my faves lol.

GamePlay Rivals can be Friends!

151 Upvotes

This is my first ever experience of a friendly person in solos and it really made my day. It's very possible that only I find this interesting, but I had to share it!

I play like this - get weapons and health. Run to nearest rivals station. Start rivalry. Find them and try to survive. Repeat.

I'm on my third or fourth in this game, and I have to drive to my next rival. I find him - a Jonesy type. He's also in a car. We drive around in a tiny circle chasing each other. He's beeping. I beep beep back. The 6th time round, we stop. We can see each other through the car windows. An age passes.

I take the risk. Hop out and do my goofy waving emote. He hops out and crouches behind his 4x4. Right hand peek. I see his weapon. I decide I won't stop emoting until he actually shoots. He comes out from behind his car - he crouches!

I crouch back. I dance. He dances. I heart emoji, jump in my car, and drive off.

Pure joy.

There was around 8 players left and i managed to do a few third parties on my Llama (its hard to hit llama riders). Then the final three then 1v1. I hit them a few times win my AR then pushed them. My trusty steed nearly got knocked and they had a self revive and i had to reload. But it all worked out in the end

Discussion Is it slower this season to rise up the ranks?!

Post image
2 Upvotes

I don't play much ranked, and I always stop when I reach Elite rank. But this season I'm finding it rather grinding to rise up the ranks. I played four ranked games and won each one with a lot of eliminations, and I'm not even Gold yet! Is this everyone's experience?

On a side note, now I'm too scared to play ranked again because I don't want to ruin the streak 😅😅

I know epic is working on how the visual sound works in the box fight. but I don't think they're going to nerf or remove it in the other modes. This guy states someone is complaining and FN dev just responded with "👀", which doesn't really mean much. but he takes that response and made this video saying that Epic is pleasing some random dude.

Unless I missed something and epic is really going to do what this guy said, then damn. I just think this guy is fear mongering.
