If you look at the wood towers like the one near the houses in loot lake or in Salty Springs, there is a scarecrow in one of the corners. Use those to practice.
I don't know how people can play this on switch in handheld. I'm utter shit using these thumb sticks in FPS games.
Use the sticks for broad movements and gyro for refinement.
It's been the same for me, used to hate snipers, as I just always seemed to miss by an inch or less. Then sometime last month it just clicked and now I hit most of my shots. I'm still better with the hunting rifle, hit so many YouTube worthy shots with that gun. Not even worried anymore if it's the first gun I find.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to play for the last 10 days and won't be able to do so for the next week. After that I need to decide if I buy Black Ops, most of the people I play with have or are planning to do so. My hope is that they like the upcoming tournement system and stick with Fortnite :)

Weapons + Items
- The Port-a-Fortress has been disabled as we work to resolve some issues related to this item.
- Drop rate for Port-a-Fort increased from 3.05% to 4.89% while Port-a-Fortress is disabled.
- The goal is to keep the drop rate of Port-a-Fort the same as if both items were enabled to help with the completion of Challenges.
- Drop rate for Port-a-Fort increased from 3.05% to 4.89% while Port-a-Fortress is disabled.
- Guided Missile no longer fires the wrong direction
- Players will no longer permanently attach to a Supply Drop when grappling to it.
- Attempting to fire while reloading the Double Barrel Shotgun will no longer interrupt the animation.
- Weapon equip animations no longer skip when simultaneously attempting to sprint and target.

- Seats two players.
- You build boost just by driving. Unleash that speed with the hotkey once you've filled your boost meter.
- Smash through buildings while boosting.
- Boost off ramps or cliffs to catch sick air.
- Launch players into the air by smashing into them.
- You can now view and change Edit Controls separately from Combat and Build Controls in the controller menu.
- PS4 controller lighting will match player marker color.
- You can now set building mode sensitivity for controllers in the options menu. It is a multiplier on the default controller sensitivity and allows up to a 2x increase.
- Controller sensitivity slider in the options menu now allows for more than 10 values.
- Added an option to Builder Pro that allows for building as soon as you switch to the piece, instead of selecting first and then placing. This allows for faster building without a preview.

- Opening the Emote Picker with a controller will happen when the button is released, while holding the button will replay the emote that was last played.
- Fixed inconsistencies with the damage trap not triggering properly.

Those are some great patch notes for me as a PS4 player (tap to place, sensitivity options, and PS4 will be 1440p now up from 1080p). Hell yes.
They'll probably be fixing newly introduced bugs in the next update, but I hope they can work on customizing load outs and auto settings for them.
That and I still can't tell where the hell anyone is by sound alone.
Oh and performance is still trash in 50s.
Oh yeah and they record a million different stats but don't show them to us.
And and and...

Update really looks great, only a couple of improvements left for controllers I'd like to see. Mainly a separate Edit mode sensitivity, customizable deadzones and overall reliability of building; playing with a controller on PC feels a lot more consistent compared to PS4.
I was wondering when the 4K patch was coming, looking forward to trying it out when i get back from work later.
I'll have to try it. Sometimes I kind of like having the outline there first.
Wow at the leaked skins. spoiler: https://i.redd.it/tby8rso5his11.jpg
Yeah just try it. I dont think theres any going back once you do though. And after you place that first piece, the outline is still there. It goes away of course though if you build a different piece and will then show that piece's outline after you tap to build. So it's still there, just not at first. It's good because I've already managed to accidentally rotate my ramp lol.
man, the skins this season (including the battle pass ones) have been great imo. It's hard to pass on some of em.
Yeah I messed around with it for 20mins in Playground mode, I can actually do a double wall/ramp/floor combo consistently and at a pretty decent pace now with the instant build option, relying on the turbo build before caused the occasional screw-up for me in regards to getting a rhythm going.
Pretty happy with this option anyway as I pretty much never edited pieces before putting them down, all of my edit plays are after building cover around me first so this along with binding instant edit just shaved off a bunch of time for me.

Yeah they just keep getting better. I know for sure Im buying Spider Knight (the dude) and Arachne (the girl) is awesome too. One of them is getting a back bling thats great too. It looks like a spider, and I'm not sure but I think the legs might stick out on each side like wings.
There's also a leaked pick axe that could mean theres a male Night Coven character coming (Which is the vampire looking chick in the Battle Pass).
Yeah, not sure how I feel about this, I'm torn between the extra speed and my propensity for error. Should also try the insta-build too.
Yup. I've been cheap on the game, but now I see that's how Epic makes money off this game.
Fuck, the top row is incredible. I'm incredibly tempted by the female version in particular. Problem is I'm nowhere near the amount of V-bucks it'll probably cost, so I'd need to buy some and then "earn it back" in time, and Blackout is making me play Fortnite a lot less. Decisions, decisions.
Yeah I didnt start playing a lot until season 3 and missed the dark knight who was by far my favorite character, so I was bummed about it...but I think Spider Knight may be even better.
And yeah I really want both. Thats $40 there, plus if theres a male Coven character thats probably going to be an insta buy as well.
This games fucking expensive for being F2P.
I spent less than the price of a triple-A game at launch and I have many dozens of hours on it already (between StW and BR) so I can't complain, 10 bucks or so every now and then is really not going to kill me, and I don't mind leaving money for games I play continously. I only buy stuff that I will legitimately use, in fact I only bought one skin so far (and a pickaxe, a glider, etc.), because I don't change my style often. That one skin is definitely tempting, it could become one that I use regularly, so it could be worth the investment in that sense. Of course to think that unless you "produce" V-bucks by playing it's 15-20 Euros for a skin... fucking yikes.
I'm on the Switch, I get neither replays nor video captures.
Those top two skins are great, might actually buy one. I have been saving and have 3600 v-bucks so I can buy one of them and still get the next season pass.
This was a god tier update for us console peeps, the instant building and separate sensitivity is a game changer.
You can't see it in that pic, but the Onesie skin is rocking some Durr Burger slippers. I knew it was an instabuy after I saw that loool

I'm in the same boat, jumped in halfway through Season 3.
The Black Knight is cool but I know if I had it I probably wouldn't even use it, but the Spider Knight is right up my alley. I hope we get it soon.
I love that you now have an individual sensitivity for building, that way you can have a low sensitivity for aiming, a medium one for moving and a high one for building, it makes building on console a whole lot easier, along that there's also a no preview bulding setting so you can build a piece right away.
I just started playing, can anyone direct me to a good "building for beginners" guide? Not the mechanics themselves, but good beginner tactics for encounters. I really like the game, but I can't keep up with these kids...
If you're not using the "Pro Builder" control scheme, do that. The "Pro Shooter" setup sucks for building.
And the best building tip for beginners is to just build, period. Something as simple as throwing up a wall when you're under fire or surrounding yourself with a four-wall shelter while healing can be the difference between life and death. I got my second Victory Royale just by hiding out to the end game, building a four-wall hideout in the eye of the storm, then jumping out to shoot the last player when he came by. Getting over the mental obstacle of only using firepower to win was the biggest revelation for me.
So how do these tournaments work? Can I grind the points out over a few days or do I have to get them all in one go?
I played the tournament for a couple hours and through like 12 matches got 6 points lol. I bet if I tried and didnt take a break I could get 15 maybe? But I don't think there's any way I could get 20. They should lower the pin to 15.
Edit: I'm ass at the game in general though. Like a .9 kdr lately.

I hope they carry over... I got 9/20 and I don't want to have to grind super hard for a few hours to get some pin.
A couple of people on Twitter that got it have said that so far it doesn't do anything...
Maybe you get... whatever it does at the end? Or maybe it's just messed up right now.
Another edit: Someone on Reddit said that the pins are for entering the next tier for the tournament? I don't know what to believe lol.

Yeah it says 20 points per session, which I assume means per 3 hours that they do.
I just don't think this is going to be worth it for your average player. I don't think there's any way someone like me could get close to 20 in that time. Maybe it's a tournament though and so just not for an average player.
