If you're sending out a couple of supply expeditions each day you should rarely have to worry about the basic crafting supplies. You'll end up with a lot of stuff that will go in the trash but the essentials like bacon and fibrous herbs you won't have to worry about.
For me the biggest jump in difficulty was at around 250 points, where I started feeling out of my element, starting to climb now though after focusing on getting better at fighting off spawn.
LOL. Once you max out it's perks and in my case, all perks maxed out for maximum crit, it's bananas in the hands of a sniper defender. It just melts ... through walls to boot. Happy Obliterating!
So they fixed the sniper bug where they were just refusing to shoot through walls for a bit?
Thanks!! Funny thing is, now that I finally have the thing, I noticed I don't have all the evolution materials needed to level it up anyway!! XD
Just as an aside, since we were discussing pistols previously... hopefully you got the Whisper .45 in your inventory, because as it turns out that is an awesome little gun! I'm really liking it because of the strategic silence so you can often draw stuff over without disturbing say an encampment if there was one close by. Good fire rate and damage makes it a real competitor to the bullet-chaining Founder's Revolt, since the .45 has an easier time with the bigger husks and at higher levels the Revolt struggles with anything above the normal husks! It has left me trying to decide which to take to level 5 first... not the worst decision to have I suppose!
I think I already have that. I know I have both slots for it filled in the collection book as well as the desert-eagle like gun. When I first started playing StW I came in on the tail end of whatever event the military set came out in, because I also had the silenced specter and the tiger before the military llamas came out just recently.
I normally don't bother with pistols, but after the hero system was redone there's probably a good pistol loadout I can build with heroes I already have.
Starting to get better players now, wouldn't say good (certainly not compared to the final 20 of any normal duo game) as they just box up and drag out fights, but definitely starting to get better, than tier 1-4 had, which I managed to get a new kill record in those matches and won 5 in a row, which I haven't done since like Season 3.
Just finished this mission with some randoms and at the end we had lost two files, but were rewarded 176 PDoR plus we got another 43 from the evo cache the mini-boss dropped, so a worthwhile mission indeed!!
Ok, thanks for the heads up, will try to go through it a few times if the 4x thing is a permanent reward. They usually are, right?
The mission rewards will change later this evening. There's a countdown displayed when you click on the mission
By permanent, I meant the rewards that you get even if you repeat a mission, not the one-off rewards that disappear after one playthrough. Of course no rewards are permantent in the long run.
Yeah, it's one of the permanent rewards. And it's a 4 player mission so it's easy to get full squad of randoms
Arena has an insane skill jump from div 5/6 to champions league, bloody hell, it's like a night and day difference, I like it a lot more than the regular modes though, also pretty rapidly getting better at editing, which I've also been really bad at.
Did the mission, like, 5 times and now I have 800 PDORs. And 3 lightnings in a bottle. -_- If it isn't one bottleneck, it's the next. ^__^;
Had a lucky llama since it had a new mythic gadgeteer lead survivor who was of the exact same personality type as the legendary lead & regular survivors I already had in Gadgeteer. The previous mythic one I got for Gadgeteer that I wasn't using yet would've required all new regular survivors due to its different personality type but now I could just swap the lead one for some extra uumph.
I am looking for people to play fortnite save the world with. I didn't play that for like a year and come back and it's goddamn fantastic.
Honestly it's actually more effective than I thought, and even I realized it could be devastating when used in a certain way. Multiple bottles can make an endgame battlefield extremely chaotic.
LOL I frickin' fell asleep at the wheel dealing with my survivor squads. Completely missed the fact 3 of my leaders weren't even a leader match for their squads. SOOOOO I spent about an hour fixing it, spending a ton of evolution materials and XP in the process, but I went from PL 103 - 113 and by retiring the legendary squad leaders I had just sitting there collecting dust, I got about half my resources back.
I'm glad they adjusted the Place in the Top 10 Fortbytes. That was just looking like a huge time sink. I wish they'd do the same for the experience ones, though. I just don't have friends who play, and I don't really like partying up with strangers and having to deal with all that. But without the Team Exp Boosts, getting to 225k experience is just gonna be such a grind.
Overall, I don't really like the Fortbyte experiment. I know the whole point is to continually have new little challenges coming up all the time, so I constantly come back to the game. But I'm a completionist, and now that there's a serious risk that I won't be able to complete something, it actually makes me less inclined to keep going. If they re-do the idea, I hope there are less time sinks like that.

I'm actually mad af, if only because Epic is freaking spineless and consistently proves it time and time again.
(not personally targeting you, but..)
Nothing requires all 100 fortbytes, and discounting the 4 top 10s and XP ones, at least 92 are perfectly achievable through normal casual play. Calling them "time sinks" when they're obviously meant to be passive challenges done over the course of the season pretty much sums up Epic's attitude with their own playerbase.
They introduce these seemingly daunting challenges and then their larger player base complains about them taking too long and they buckle down and bend over. IMO it's insulting to their more dedicated player base but whatever. I cheesed through downtown drop so who cares I guess.
The last time I tested it, filling your survivor squads yourself is the best route. I don't think autofill takes into account neither the set bonus or any lower level survivors you could easily level up to replace inferior survivors. Leader match leads > personality match > set bonus is a good rule to go by, assuming the majority of your survivors are of similar rarity. So to answer your question, yes I think autofill is a bad idea.
I mean, I'm not trying to insult anybody, and I don't mean it as some major criticism of the game. Like I said, I'm a bit of a completionist. It's my own problem. I know. Obviously nothing is compelling me to get 100 Fortbytes, beyond my own desire. I'm just in this spot where I don't really like to play Fortnite every day, but I like to get everything. Challenges like this put me in a spot where my options are either "play more often than I'd like" or "miss out on this thing." If they keep moving that way, I'll probably just pay less. But I'm sure they won't mind, since I never spend any money anyway.
Time sinks? I got the XP and placement fortbytes in the first ten days. Oh my... I must play too much Fortnite.
The exp one isn't too bad. I've already gotten all the exp ones and I've had a couple of week-long pauses in playing this season already.
Like, as soon as I saw one being used for the first time, I knew that more "pro"-level endgame would become shitshows of "who has the most strom potions to add chaos & nigh inescapable zones of death to the playground and/or bandages/slurps/medkits/campfires/chugfucks to withstand a barrage of stormspheres that engulf everything (or enough rift-a-fucks to escape them)".
Again, an addition that is a fun idea maybe for a single player campaign but which is absolute & utter shit in competitive play that is hard to fathom how anyone at Epic thought it was a good idea to add into the game..

Yes the xp is easy if you play enough, problem with top 10 challenges was it's inconsistent and if you play mostly team rumble you're fucked
The 100 top 10 placements fortbyte was easy, managed to get that a week or two ago just from playing mostly solo.
Its especially easy since these days you only have around 20-25 people left after the first circle closes.

Any people here wanna play some save the world? I am really loving that mode again. Lynx the ninja is a blast to play. I gotta work through canny again. I was about half way but they reset progress when they added actual campaign content.
Wait, is that what really happened? I just assumed it was a glitch because I've had a bunch of glitchy shit happens since the most recent update. I have more than 50 (legit, without the exploit) and those bytes still aren't unlocked. And many of the style challenges are showing as still locked and/or not completed even though I've unlocked and done them.
Go to frosty flights, get a baller and go straight to the turbines,grapple onto the platforms and it will register once you are near touching distance.
Really easy and doesn't take long.
I just got a new rig after years of having an old one after my last GPU died. And I made a gameplay video to show to my friends to convince them to try the game out. I just jumped into a wargame which is like home base defense with some challenges added to it. I never did wargame in my own base before and I hadn't even been in this base since I started playing again. Plus on top of that I had no idea what to expect really from the challenges.

I'd at least grab the sci-fi heroes before saving tickets. Extraterrestrial Rio in particular, perhaps the best looking skin in StW.
I didn't put that many 'U's into "fuck" in my post for no reason. :P
