We need shoulder swap way before we need first person.
No, we need first person! I've been hoping for this since they announced the mode.
Actually even before that, in PVE mode where you can go in that POV but it's not fleshed out.
Holy, can't wait if that is legit going to happen.
I have 955~ last I checked lol...
And I almost bought a llama yesterday for 1k... but I didn't feel like completing the 50 vbuck quest I had.

For some reason, I have 0 interest for first person in this game. Loved it in PUBG, but I feel like 3rd person is required for Fortnite. Just due to things like building, and landing precisely while jump padding. Etc etc. Also, I bought skins. I like to see them.
Yeah I just open the game executable directly from my taskbar (it's pinned). You still might need the launcher for downloading updates and such.
I just tried it out and it seems to automatically launch the Epic launcher prior to the game launching anyway. :(
First person would be horrible for building. And a big disadvantage when it comes to building + peeking over without getting your head shot off.
Glad to hear about the battle pass, I have more than enough just from the last one to get it again.

OK, V-Bucks grinded, free battle pass here i come!
Building would just be so, so awkward in first person.

It says separate playlist, so there won't be a disadvantage to using it since everyone will be.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let you toggle it on and off in third person, which would allow you to use it when it is optimal.
They did say a while back that this is something they might explore. Hopefully this gets some hype behind it.
Just to be clear thats not an official tweet, just fan concept speculation. I would be surprised if Fortnite received a first person mode, it just doesn't feel designed with it in mind.
Epic already said this fake news ain't happening.

What's up with the bug where it doesn't show me holding my gun and I can't shoot? Playing on Xbox.
Probably early game? are you landing in tilted?
Some people say switching back to pickaxe and back might help. Otherwise landing away from tilted can help.
It's a problem with server load. That's why it generally only happens early in the game, usually in high traffic areas. There's been no official explanation from Epic so far, to my knowledge.
Some people claim you can fix it by emoting, but I don't know.
Supposedly just throwing out one of the emote icons fixes it, people on this forum have reported that works. Just don't land near high populated areas (pretty much just Tilted Towers) until its fixed and it shouldn't be too much of an issue, i do believe 2.5 is dropping tomorrow (the Fortnite STW subreddit said it was), but its a bit strange we don't have patch notes yet, there could've been a delay, either way hopefully its addressed in it.
EDIT: Patch notes are confirmed for tomorrow, along with the update - https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/963869953660157953

Yeah I am. Been switching back and forth but doesn't work 100%. I really like landing there so I guess it's a trade off for now.
Thanks for the responses guys.
So how do outfits work
Is your character still random, just with the outfit you purchased? Is there anyway to lock in a character?

Yeah, its the first time they haven't released the patch notes a day early, i believe, i imagine there are a few surprises in there. Or, they just got it to the translation team late.
When you buy the skin, its that one character always.
The Season 3 battle pass does give the quests out weekly instead of daily, so you can work a little more at your own pace, i think its a welcome change and might make it easier for you to level up. To be honest, i think they kind of come with $10 of value right off the bat, and what you can earn is all just extra, my goal was to try to get to the Sparkle Specialist for Season 2 as i didn't want to play so much i burned myself out, but i ended up finishing the entire thing off pretty easily.
I never really intended to get far in the battle pass for season 2. The fact that I got up to the female knight was good enough for me. 950 vbucks for 2 skins and a bunch of smaller stuff seems on point. The first skin I bought was like 700 vbucks anyway. And I got all of it for free anyhow since I not only bought PVE, I preordered it for half off because at the time alpha testers got a 50% off deal. So for 20 USD I got PVE and so much PVE content plus 2 battle passes and a separate skin now.
This next season I might go quite a ways further. I didn't play for like a month or two last time.

Oh my god the impulse grenade looks hilarious. Can't wait to see guys getting thrown into the storm with them.
- Moved volume attenuation to be based off player location, rather than from the camera.
Hmm is it me or has the new update made loot drops less vibrant than before?? Like they appear almost greyish with a mix of colour. I also noticed my camera clipping into my character for a split second while walking and using the jump pad. I'm verifying atm but I'm assuming the update for now.
Edit: And am I going crazy or do I hear pickaxe sounds on the bus? lol Oh nvm its the sound of people jumping out, which is sounds exactly the same as an axe swing lol.

Are you guys on consoles playing with unlocked framerates? I looks much more smoother (pS4 pro) but i find it makes my movements feel heavy.
So have switched back to having it off, look juddery but at least my controller is more responsive as i was finding i had to over compensate with it on.

Yep, my 12 year old brother got me my first Solo win, after talking trash about me. Becoming an old man sucks. Won't shut up about it either whenever I see him.
Haha yep my nephew has saved the clip so no doubt I will have to endure watching it.
I was bloody good back in the days with the original gears of war and have been blaming alsorts to why I suck at this 3rd person shooter. From not having headphones to input lag. I think I'm coming to the realisation I'm just old and don't process as fast as I used to in my teens / early twenties!
One reason I like the impulse grenade is that it sticks wherever it lands. So if you have a guy really high up in a fort, the quickest way to kill him might be to lob an impulse grenade up there and hope he doesn't build himself a roof :P
I suspect it will be fun for a while and then eventually ignored like everything else they add. At this point though, I really wish we could get a dedicated grenade slot.

I wish there was like a 20 minute share option for PS4. 15 is too short for these matches and 30 just seems like a waste..
I use 30, but the trick is to hit the share button before every match and that's the point it starts recording. Doing that saved me a lot of space.
Stream your sessions to Youtube, then trim what you need after.
Epic says that unlocking the frame rate right now increases input lag.
Once the 60fps option is out, all that should be fixed.
They definitely did do something to the appearance of floor loot. The colors aren't as intense. A lot of the glow seems to be gone. Hard to tell from a stream though (watching Myth right now).
20 mins would be perfect, i have mine set to 30 specifically because of Fortnite.
My friends are already scared to play tonight. They thought me hitting them with smokes/boogie bombs was annoying, this looks to be the best grenade yet!
Hm I'm playing on PS4 but I'm definitely also seeing the issue people are talking about where the whole game seems a lot more darker and muted color-wise.
Also, is this the 60FPS update? They mentioned the resolution scaling but it's unclear if this is the 60fps patch update. The option in settings still says "uncap framerate".
