Lol I still need to train my brain not to touch those things. Every time I see one drop(which is like every other chest) I instinctually prioritize it in my loadout due to how good it once was.

And it's a fatal mistake I make each time.

Same. Seeing the greens should be a tipoff that things are different but I played a LOT of Fortnite when they were good so it'll take some time.

How do you configure where weapons go when you pick them up? I keep having my inventory get shuffled around when I pick up new items.

Lol yup. Seeing uncommon/common scars is still pretty weird.

There might be a better way to do it but I just keep swapping until I get the order I want.

I don't have the game in front of me but it's something like:

Go to 'Game' settings by pressing the cog icon. Scroll down and click on 'Configure' next to Preferred Item Slots. Check that the feature is turned on. Assign weapons or items to each Loadout Slot.

It's not perfect for me because there's more types than slots and that seems to throw things off but it helps.

:O been playing since the very start and wasn't aware this was a thing! Definitely going to check this out when I next login, thanks.

In your settings you can set "presets" so if you pick up an item in a certain category it'll automatically go to a specific slot.

I've got it set up so my bar is AR - Shotgun - SMG/Pistol - Heals - Utility

On pc I'm getting these white artifacts(at the edges of trees mostly). Thought at first it was the hardware ray-tracing, cause I've had issues with that is the past on my 6700xt, but the issue remains without HW RT. Is it the TSR? (set to high)

It is.

DLSS can't come back fast enough.

Also :

Still so disappointing they didn't get Arnold for the Terminator collab. Like why ?

Can anyone else confirm that the PS5 version doesn't require you to enable the new engine? I've got no option to do so under the Video tab. I think I might be on UE5? but it's hard for me to tell. I've seen things about disables 120hz mode on your PS5 system menu and other fixes but I've still never seen an option to enable the new graphics. Has anyone else on PS5 actually flipped a switch to get to UE5? Or is it automatic?

How do I get the time of the day to work in replay mode? It's not doing anything for me, and yes the gameplay is running and not paused. 🤔

Couldn't that be one of the recruitable NPCs he's tagging with?
I didn't include it in the clip I uploaded but after I died, the other player bounce hammered over to where he was. I don't think NPCs use the shockwave hammer.

EDIT: Checked the replay. yeah that's a player.

It's automatic (or, it doesn't work in 120fps, it has to be 60fps, but seems that you know that).

Aerialist + Soaring Sprints + Storm Mark (top 1 augment, don't @ me) is where it's at. I'd canonize More Parkour to make a Core 4, but 1) it's competing with the weapon-based ones, 2) I usually reserve one slot for one of the unli-sprint items.

You're at least able to get a level from doing it before it idles it seem. So you can at least get like 2ish levels a day (From one AFK before it stops and dailies).

Still I agree though. Really liked just letting AFK do the work.

this map is pretty good. You dont need to jump at the end, you can rubber band your trigger to constantly swing the axe and hit a button

Isn't that just the Legends Landing map that's even promoted by Epic in the first row of the Discover tab at the end? Lol.

I just played my first ever full match* to check out the new graphics and got the Victory lol
That wasn't, like a baby's first tutorial bot-match or anything was it?

*I had loaded it up on the Switch once and quit after a few minutes.

Yeah it's hard, but my god worth it.
It's way easier with an umbrella by the way.

Oh and you get XP for the specific thing you do or hit so it's 100xp per jump until it lowers and lowers more and more, if you hit the square in front of you it's back to 100xp again and if you're unhappy once it's under 50 or so (which still WAY more than the other XP map from earlier here where it's basically 6xp per second after a few minutes) you can try to reach the second square and hit that and it's back to 100xp per second.
No idea if it's daily or if a map restart resets it.


Impressive. Hope they don't fix this too fast now since it's an official map.

I really hate the inventory system. Having heals in the same space as weapons is a nightmare. Just fucking put it on a separate menu

Is it sad that none of these fancy Marvel skins interest me, but I had to grab this relatively cheap Jonesy skin?

It's even worse now with the hammer. Now my loadout early-mid game is 2 weapons, 2 heals, and the hammer. Late game I'll drop a healing item for an extra weapon.

The hammer really does feel essential though. I swear 90% of the time when I die, it's because I just won a fight, I'm low on health, and someone 3rd parties me. WIth a hammer you can just GTFO of there.

Last game I used the hammer to escape a few near-death situations as well as knock 2 people into the storm and finished them as they tried to get back in :)

That's the default Jonsey from chapter 2. When the move from chapter 1 to 2 and 3 each season came with newly designed default players and a glider, and then the old would show up in the shop for 800 each or in a bundle.

For whatever reason this chapter didn't get a new design for the glider or defaults but they got a few new faces.

Neat little thing is that The Hulk's alt style is torn up default clothes.

Another little tidbit that is probably only interesting to me, is that each of the battle passes since I've been playing last year has a set with a glider that's a reskin of the default glider, but this pass the glider (the baseball girls) is a redesign of a chapter 2 glider for whatever reason.

What is that Dorito map thingy that you need to play to win things shown during TGA? I missed it and could not find any info about it.

Do console 120 fps players get SERIOUS frame drops sometimes? I'm talking in the 30s.
I play on ps5 and dont experience anything that bad.

What is terrible this season is rubberbanding. I hate trying to track someone who is teleporting all over the fucking map. Also sometimes players just warp after mantling. I've had teammates just teleport 100m away from us.

There are definitely some issues that need to be ironed out with this engine update.
