Fortnite's map seems to be getting sucked into real life
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I'm extremely envious of the people who enjoy this game, as someone who has tried multiple times but failed to really get into it. Epic is supporting this game like no other developer and it's incredibly cool to see. Happy for all of you who play!
The rumors/leaks seem to point to a historical theme for the next update, and I'm wondering if this is some sort of hint. The final unlock is rumored to be the Flying Dutchman, which has me absurdly giddy.
I'm wondering if they'll replace some of the locations that have had portals steal signs with historical locations? I would be incredibly hyped if that's the case. I'm not even a superhero fan and I stressed all season trying to get Omega...RIP my social life if I can get some Greek and Roman skins lol.
insert "lawbreakers beat them to it" joke here
edit: since it's now a somewhat sensitive issue, in reference to this. Boss Key shutting down is, of course, unfortunate.
It's worth mentioning that Epic released a Save the World dev roadmap today and it mentions 5.0 will bring "Wild West" heroes and flintlock guns, and since StW gets a lot of skins ported from BR.... We are indeed likely getting historical archetype characters and possibly weapons.
Same here. Very jealous. I cant stand this fucking gameplay though.

Have you played it with friends? I tried the game several times by myself and ended up being bored. Then, my friends and I gave the gave a chance together and that changed everything for us.
Epic has updated done for their game in terms of updates than most companies do in entire franchise lifespans. Both adding to their game with new fresh content as well as meeting player requests.
Now they're about to bring the entire Fortnite map* to the real world. The absolute madmen.

Yeah and those are the only times I've truly had fun with the game, but the same can be said for most games: most things are more fun with friends. But even while playing with them, I still found the shooting and the bunnyhopping to be annoying as someone who sunk a lot of time into PUBG.
At this point I would totally freaking pay whatever it takes to play paintball/airsoft in said replica island hahah
That's insanely interesting! Especially since Wild West was one of the rumored settings to be featured if I remember correctly.
I'm excited for the start of the next season, hopefully it has a big opening cutscene like this season did.
Some signs have been pointing to a realm shift into a desert world, presumably around the changeover from Season 4 to Season 5 in a few days.
There's no tutorial.
Might be best watching some YT videos if you don't want to jump in blind.
For the Battle Royale mode? No there is not. I think there may be some sort of tutorial in Save the World, though that hasn't gone F2P just yet. You can try out the Playground Mode though! It gives you the entire island to roam around in, practice building, learn the controls, and spar with friends if you're interested in that!
It'll be taken offline temporarily on July 12th, but Epic is bringing it back permanently afterwards.
Also this. I've really improved my play style from watching some streamers play from time to time. Just seeing how other players manager their inventory and their building style influenced me greatly.

There is no tutorial mode but you can load into the Playground LTM to practice and learn the basics of building, looting, and shooting. It should be available for a few more days I think.
This type of stuff makes watching a meteorite sprite in the skybox for 5 weeks seem pathetic by comparison and just think about how wow'ed we were at that, at the time lol
Epic REALLY stepping up their game.

Got it. Thanks. I died in the storm but I was inside. What's up with that?
Right?? The crack in the sky has been progressively growing ever since it appeared which is crazy. It now spans two massive cracks in the sky and the rifts are appearing the world over.
Meanwhile we watched a comet be updated a few times for 5 weeks and speculated like we were all trying to find the Triforce in OOT lmao.
The safe area of the map progressively gets smaller and smaller, you can see on your map how there is a white circle. Eventually the storm (the purple part of the map) closes in on the circle - if you are inside the storm you will take damage and die, no matter if you are inside or outside. Then when the storm is closed in, there will be a newer, even smaller safe circle, and after a few minutes the storm will start moving again.
In a battle royale game, it is necessary for the playable are to keep getting smaller, or else you would end up with just a few players strewn out across a giant map. The shrinking playable area forces players to come into contact with each other.
booooo.
Single map that changes with time is so much more compelling.
Holy shit, is that what that emote is from? All this time I didn't realize.

Videos of it, and apparently the fortnite police car.

All the emotes come from real life.
Orange Justice comes from a cyber goth dance video that was a big meme 6-7 years ago. Don't listen to the people who think it's from some orange shirted kid lol.
