Fortnite

I’ve purchased the Battle Pass. Some of the new skins look very cool. The Wonder Woman clone, named Valor, is one of my favorites. The one you get right away, named Carbide, is probably my second favorite. I expect to see a lot of Carbide vs Carbide gun fights in the coming weeks.

Superheroes don’t typically wield military firearms. I wonder if Epic would consider a patch that made “lasers” shoot out of their fists or something.

Anyway, another new detail is that the map has been changed. Though not significantly. I think it’s more like new details added. Epic does make changes to the game all of the time. With a superhero theme it seems that the sky’s the limit. Pun intended. I hope they really go off the rails this season with the new stuff that they add.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot. They added sprays. One of my favorite sprays is a Warner Bros style train tunnel. And if you make it really far in the progression system you can unlock the Napoleon Dynamite dance. I hope I can get that one.

Only the best ones.

Probably a long shot but does anyone have a Save the World key they'd be willing to trade for a Life is Strange key?

I might have another left. I'll double check. If I do, it's yours, no trade required.

Thanks really appreciate it!

Unfortunately looks like I don't have left. Sorry! Will let you know if I come across any though.

Thanks appreciate the gesture either way

Edit: just bought it hopefully it's enjoyable everything I've seen makes it look really interesting.

Did the shotguns got a buff or something? I get killed in one shot from shotguns all the time, even with full armor and health.

I have seen the same recently. Before it was two shots to zap full shields & full health.

It always feel like my shotguns shoot water and they're shooting me with nukes. Not really noticing a huge difference this time either. Actually I DID get one-shot from much further away than normal. I was at least 2 floor platforms away and had full health and 50 shields, went down instantly. Yeah maybe they did buff them, or maybe tweak the way headshot damage works because that was totally a headshot on me.

I'm looking for more goodjers to play BR on PC. Epic name: MisterDax

I have a lot of trouble seeing messages sent in game or via Epic Games launcher, no sound queue, messages don't show while in a match and they are kind of subtle in general unless I'm missing a setting. This makes it hard to synch up with folks, so if you are a discord or Steam user maybe we could use that to connect as well. I'm easy to find in steam if you search for [GWJ] Dax.

Same here xD

The worst thing is that sometimes it doesn't depends on the "level" of the gun (the different colors). I got killed by even the blue ones...

I don't know, maybe is just me, me luck and my s***** skills for this game...

According to the Fornite DB I found, both pump shotguns can do over 200 damage with a point blank headshot. The hunting rifle and bolt-action sniper also deal more than 200 on a head shot from any distance.

No other weapons can one hit kill you from 100/100.

Cool site, thanks!
So, a rocket in your head does half damage than a shotgun...perfectly reasonable XD

Happy to play if you're looking for a party.

I'm playing on ps4, not sure if that's where you're at. Pretty sure cross play works in this mode as well. I'll add you on my epic account if that's the case would be grest to play with folks

The pump action shottie is the one that does a 1 shot kill. It has to be a clean headshot.

I’ve seen streamers equip them side by side, shoot with one, quick switch to the other and get an instant 2nd shot. I think that got fixed in the most recent patch though.

I see you occasionally peanut3141 but I just imagine playing in mid-to-late Plankerton--where my missions are--would be boring for you. I've played out of the normal flow, much like I play Fallout, and so I find myself overpowered for my missions but still tepid to get into more-challenging missions. I'm 47 and about halfway through the Plankerton mission sequence. ;P

For my part, I don't at all mind playing lower power-level missions. I'm not terribly concerned with progression.

The great thing about the way they've structured the gold rewards is that I can do PL 9 missions and still be fairly well rewarded. Or if you want 10k exp at a pop, we can do a survivor/radar mission up in twine. I'd be happier playing with GWJers than getting all the phat lewts with strangers.

I found a cool location that wasn’t there before. There is a missile silo / bunker built into the mountain near Snobby. It got me wanting to hunt around for more hidden changes and additions. I didn’t find anything other than the obvious stuff that’s easily visible from the map.

Also there’s supposed to be some sort of official mash up with the Avengers universe. I hope that comes out today.

I’m talking BR of course.

I've been watching my son watching Thanos destroy players. It's a neat cross-over.

I'm kind of excite. With it comes more collectibles, the points/juice that you use/spend to change the perks, but it could be pretty cool.

Save The World finally has voice chat, and shopping carts can now be pushed/ridden in Battle Royale.
I think the thing that I like best about both modes is that Epic is very much in favor of fun > realism, much like Volition was with the Saint's Row series. I do wish that they'd lay off the STW events a bit and focus more on finishing the last half of the story.

This is where they lost me. Just not my flavor. Which is weird because i love Overwatch and have no problem with the bunny hopping and super craziness of that game. I played this with friends this past weekend and after a few matches i was annoyed beyond belief with the 'fun' bits. The odds of me jumping back into this again is extremely small.

The thing keeping me from jumping back into Save The World is the same thing that kept me from continuing Save The World the last time I played it: I can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do next.

It’s been a couple of months since I fired up Save The World, and the mission select/map screen was the most impenetrable mess I’ve ever seen in a game. Have they improved it recently?

I liked the gameplay well enough, but I can’t figure out how to actually get to it.

Haha. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. PUB-G is trying so hard to be gritty and realistic. I’ve played countless hours of these types of “realistic” competitive shooters. After a while, they all start to feel the same.

The slapstick and whimsical presentation of Fortnight BR is such a welcome aesthetic, for me. Juxtapose that with the difficult strategies and tactics and you get a very unique game experience.

I just decided to get the game on PC.

I am enjoying some of it, but still prefer Coop.

If some goodjers are playing, add me up ? ManachGWJ on there, or I link my steam for more convinience.

Does anyone knows if I buy Save the world would give me a key as well for a friend?

Does that offer still works?
