Fortnite: Battle Royale |OT| 100 Players on Epic Battlegrounds

It looks pretty good. Not sure if this is the thread to post it in though.
Sadly, while it does look like a better PUBG, the last thing I want from another Battle Royale is a slightly better PUBG. And it seems like they ripped the PUBG UI and inventory system wholecloth. Yikes.
Yo, I spent most of my time skimming through the video asking myself, "Isn't this just PUBG footage?"
If there is a case about someone outright copying someone, this is the hill to die on for Bluehole.. because damn.

Wow. I'm pretty fucking pissed right now. This trap elimination challenge is just fucking me over.
I placed a ceiling trap in a chest room in snobby shores and waited. Dude walks in... doesn't trigger.... I put some shots in to weaken him. Doesn't trigger. He kills me. Walks around the room looting. Doesn't trigger. Record it and was about to post it for Epic to see. When the dude that kills me (and was immune to traps apparently) gets killed. The dude that killed him loots him and goes into the treasure room. BAM TRAP KILL. Even said "Tawpgun eliminated so and so with a trap." I exit the match.
And I see it didn't fucking register. So trap kills can't be post mortem I guess? Fine I can live with that kind of bullshit but what the fuck TRIGGERS them? How come the first guy never got killed?

So because I died, got the kill, and left after means I don't get it?
wtf
I'm afraid so. I got an RPG kill just after I died but it didn't count. There was only a couple left, so I waited, and it gave me the kill at the end.
I had the exact same issue twice. The trap challenge is bugged I believe. If you get the trap kill after dying it simply wont register for completeing the challenge. It will register that you got an elimination, but will not complete the challenge for you even if you wait. You have to be alive when the trap kill happens. It's really stupid since that one is hard enough as is.
From my experience it seems that if you exit a match early without dying any challenge progress won't register. Usually if I complete a challenge and want to start another game I'll go run off a cliff or something, then once I'm dead exit the match.
Compensation for the downtime has been announced, Battle Royale players will get the Back Bling on the right in the below image and Battle Pass owners will be getting a pack of Battle Stars next week as well https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/...ity-and-downtime-4-11?sessionInvalidated=true
Personally I don't mind it at all. If you're foolish enough to run into a close quarters area with your assault rifle out and you die because you can't instantly switch to your shotty that's on you.
As a casual player that doesn't frequently pull out sick moves involving quick weapon switches, it hasn't bothered me. I don't pull out double RPG enough to care. The people that are upset don't want the skill ceiling to be lowered. And I can see their point.
You are truly insane if you consider yourself a casual player.
Yeah, if you're casual then what is someone who's played nearly 3000 solo games? :D
I mean fair enough for the being alive point.
But that doesn't explain why the trap didn't trigger for the person that entered the room. I mean he/she was walking around looting obvlivious to the spikes above them.
Yeah I dont about that unless the trap was too high? Even then it should trigger I think it just wouldnt actually hit them.
No, it's bugged. It happened to my friends few times when he was trying to get trap elimination during Sniper LTM. Sometime it wouldn't kill the opponents when they were walking front of it.

A pack of battle stars?
Ie levels for the pass? How many is that likely to be?
I mean I play maybe 2 hours per day at most except when I have some extra free time on weekends. But i have a full time (9-5) job, wife, and kid. So my game time is when everyone is asleep.
Ive just played the game since release and have gradually gotten better over time. I feel like I'm relegated to being a casual gamer for the rest of my life. Especially now that I need to actually sleep at night :(

Cool, doesn't matter now I just got to 100.
Question though, the challenges for 100, do they only last until the end of the season?
The opposite site of the bloom. A guy getting so lucky on me that every shot hit. Died in an instant. Had to process what happened. I get that it was bad positioning but when it's complete RNG when it comes shooting like this... You can't judge a situation properly.
First person it didn't trigger at all and they were in the room for a hot minute. Second person walks in as gets insta killed
Edit: regarding the above post, dude was in perfect range and got you in the open. I mean maybe rng would have made one shot miss? If he tapped the trigger all those shots hit perfect. I don't see an issue with that death. He had good aim and better position.
Just had the stupidest final 1v1 ever. Both of us had rocket launchers and both of us must have had > 50 rockets and ~ 2000 materials because all we did was spam rockets at each other until one of us was forced to move. I won, but it was still stupid.
I'm ready for the rocket ammo limit now.

Free stuff is a good compensation method.
And troll stash llama is good. That is usually 500 vbucks I think.

They really need to iron out the servers already. I just died because I pulled the trigger on the Heavy Shotgun and nothing happened.
It's unacceptable for as much money as they're bringing in on this game.

Yes, how dare I complain about my weapon not firing when I pull the trigger. The gall I have to complain about the most popular game in the world skimping on servers lol.
You can scroll back and page and see if you're so interested by the way.
It won't went 50v50 drops. My friend got almost all of those done in a few games when 20s was out. I should note he's not very good at the game either lol.
I pretty much can't stand playing the game anymore after the weapon delay change.
I have been playing the game as my main game most of the year now but I guess it's time for me to call it quits until it get addressed and if they keep it I guess this is where I call it quits as i'm just not having fun anymore.

what is happening here..?
did you hide on an unopened chest? and he opened it before you could shoot him?
I'm 1 out of 4 over 36 games these last 7 days. I still make so many mistakes and dumb second places though, but I think I got the rest of the game figured out mostly. My shooting isn't that great so I build always.
The switch to Builder Pro settings still causes me to make errors when I'm in a building fight; I'm placing so many walls right in front of my face, but once adjusted it will make everybody a lot quicker.
I also recognize talks about dying almost instantly. I played a game of duo's yesterday and the final two guys were rushing us while my friend had a golden scar and I was blasting away behind multiple stairs with my golden granade launcher. I peeked for less then a second and I was dead with them still running towards us, not sniping or sitting still.
Makes me appreciate RNG though; if every weapon was laser like I probably would be dying like that almost any game, especially since they allow mouse and keyboard on PS4.

What a fun daily this will be ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
I still don't get that. Surely it creates an unfair advantage
Yeah it really does, although I'd really like to see what percentage of players is using it to see if you have a high chance of encountering someone. A friend of mine tried it out because he felt he was causing losses when we did squad games, and he did get better with the mouse after a day or 2 practicing with it.
That's not to say it will make you a superstar, but he started making more of his shots, gets some kills and could actually build simple structures, while previously we had to build for him when he used a controller.
At the same time I use a Elite controller on PS4, which also helps by allowing you to never take your thumbs off the joysticks, so maybe I should not complain about mouse and keyboard users.
I'm sure they have data points to see the percentage or number of users who are using KB/M and how that affects the outcome of their games.
Not sure what they could do about an Elite controller and button remaps. Kinda surprised they haven't added button mapping to consoles yet as it's (obviously) on PC.
I got all but the Squad one done in under an hour. They're not too difficult. Just stay on the bus until the very end to get the pickaxe kill. There will always be people who walk away from the start of the match to go do something.
