Fortnite: Battle Royale |OT| 100 Players on Epic Battlegrounds
- Thread starter Cerium

Yeah i played it alot more now and the flaws really start to show.
Horrible performance also atm on console so every battle is a big lottery. Think i wait for some patches to see how it improves. But PUBG is coming tho,
Some of the performance stuff is genuinely shocking for a game made by the engine developer. Buttons don't reliably work! I died yesterday early on when me and a guy saw each other and each went for a gun. He picked his up, aimed, and shot me to death before I managed to pick up the gun I was standing on despite mashing square like a lunatic.

Damage makes perfect sense. Read how much damage a weapon does. A weapon with 34 damage will take 3 direct bullets (or 6 with shield) to kill. A weapon with 10 damage will take 10 direct bullets (or 20 with shield).
Know your weapon and check it's stats in inventory.

Not really. I want shield to have its visual appearance so I would know who have it or not. I would like to able to plan accordingly depends on who have the shields or not.
For example, I had a sight on a team of two. I took an aim at that player's head with a sniper. I took a shot and saw blue numbers popped. I knew I'm in deep shit. lol

I feel like everyone would have a better time if they just assumed everyone had a shield and acted accordingly.
When I installed this game I saw it as a demo before progressing onward to PUBG. After playing this a bunch and looking at some more gameplay of PUBG on twitch I really don't find any reason to move on. This game is dope.
Also happy that the cheater problem seems to be gone.

Yeah Im new to it and whilst the premise is fun as hell, coming to it straight from Destiny 2 is jarring.

Just got my 12th win on battle Royale. Woohoo!! And no bush stealth....well until it was down to me and some other person. Then I realized they aren't paying attention and were unaware that I was right behind them in a bush while they were in a small shack. So I decided to dupe them by building a stair right to the shed, open the door, run up the stairs to the roof, take out my shotgun and enjoy my Royale with Cheese.
Here's the last 8 minutes of a match my mates and I had earlier that ended in a hilarious and amazing way. Only our second squad victory so far!

Does the game still not have in game voice chat? thats the only thing preventing me from playing this.

No voice chat yet. Just use the party chat on consoles if you need to voice chat.

Idk man, I'm aiming an assault rifle and firing at a guy and some shots aren't hitting
The cursor is right on his body/neck area
He then turned around and shot a shotgun at me from far away hitting me instantly, I still downed him but his back was facing me and I was unloading like 20 shots

Its stupid. Even after everyone saying stop crouch and fire a shot. It doesnt always work. It makes firefights way too random when you know your aim is actually on point.

Yep its random AF. Reminds me of H3 BR. Also they need to fix this fucking freezing, several times i;ve been completely fucked by my screen freezing for 10 seconds.
If they fix those 2 issues I'll be 100% happy.
I just play it like it's Splinter Cell or MGS5. No building, only stealth until I ambush you or go out guns blazing in the final few.
I just use steam with my bro.

I've been using every gun wrong (except for the sniper apparently). I thought all the guns were projectile...

I played a few hours today and it has potential, but the TTK seems awfully low, it would be enough to stop me playing it more in the future if it's not increased a little.

Because with the way health and shields work, you almost have to play like that.
Do rockets seriously have infinite range? I thought they used to explode after a while....?
Devs just posted a bunch of features they wanted to implement in the 4 to 6 weeks range. If you go back a couple of posts you'll see it. Voice chat is mentioned so they have it on their radar and should be implemented soonish.

Just had a patch applied, Xbox version.
Anyone know what it is?

Teamkillers constantly.
Its infuriating and they keep getting away with it because the game has no repercussions

This game is so much fucking fun!
Just had a game where 4 of the last 5 guys all had epic forts built. I decided to sneak out of mine and take out a guy on top of a massive cliff. When I returned to my fort, someone else was trying to sneak up to me (but I wasn't there). So from above. Another guy had a weak foundation so I shot out the bottom of his fort (sadly that kill didn't count). Then I constructed a sky fort (attached to the cliff) and sniped the last guy =)
Edit: 2nd win tonight. Messy 1v1, but shooting him through the gap under the wall for the win was pretty neat

There is no way to do that in a game like this. Hitscan is not suited for games with long engagements. It works well in arena games were the instant hit nature is somewhat plausible.
There is no way to make hitscan better at these distances. If you make it more accurate it will break the game. I mean, even in halo they had theses problems. Why do you think the sniper had so little ammo and the AR had bloom?
Modern projectile systems are required for this type of combat.

Did this game always have this weird ghosting/interlacing stuff on Xbox?

Woo, got my first royale. I'm finding the tempo of the game working in favour of my aggressive playstyle.
Firstly, they actually are looking into the possibility of moving to projectiles across all of the guns, but it is something with some level of technical challenge to it despite your arrogant lazy developer quip, why you believe they'd use someone else's projectile system for a game where some of the guns are already projectile based I have no idea. Choosing to move to projectiles, which they may very well do, isn't something that they can just turn on and off, it has massive ramifications for balance that will need to be tuned patiently.

Got a solo win despite the game running like slog atm (bolt sniper still dominates). And then got a duo win, giving me the umbrella in each mode.

im getting performance issues now, dunno what happened but last patch rekt me. Grats on the solo win though!
My least favorite part of the game, really. It's just a mad sprint to find stuff mostly based on RNG. It's also where the horribly balanced melee sticks out the most. It's still one of my major complaints about the game.

I usually have no problem getting a gun early on, but I also don't jump into heavily populated areas.
I just got 2 wins in a row jumping into Greasy Grove though. Only had 2-3 people there with me. Just gotta make sure you land on a house all by yourself. If you do land near someone, just follow them with a pickaxe

Never have a problem finding guns, but I also never land anywhere near the bus path and named locations. I go for the demolished houses, they always have chests that will grant at least a gun and, half of the time, a shield potion or medkit.

Was just wondering if anyone was interested in partying up for Duo's & Squads?
I've been trying to enjoy these two modes but keep ending up with randoms that team kill.
If anyone is interested my PSN is the same as my GAF username

It's 2017, you can't go into squads with randoms. This is the golden rule of modern multiplayer gameplay. If you're on PS4, just hit up the communities.

Good wins @mobius
I continue to have stutters so i turned all graphics down to low except view distance. It's helped a bit, but my computer should be able to handle everything thrown at it. I didn't have issues before this most recent patch.
I wonder if there is a way I can send in my log to technical and see if there's anything i could do

is reporting for team killing not allowed?

While the stats make sense, actually using the weapons is a poor experience. They feel very inconsistent.
I think it's largely to do with the connection but hard to say.

It's allowed and it's what Epic has asked players to do because it's bannable to teamkill.

WTF. Fortnite straight up crashes if you're using wireless headphones and they run out of charge while playing.

Fortnite just straight up randomly crashing on random, even when nothing is going on a few times.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I can consistently get top 10, but can't get past top 3... playing on PS4.. I'm just not figuring out the hitboxes quite right yet. Also with the last update I've noticed changes to building where it won't let me put stuff where I used to be able too.. or maybe it's something else.
The best players I see are able to use building really quickly to escape trouble.
My go to is to get to the edge of map as far from the bus as possible and find a few deserted houses... typically can round the edges getting a few sheds and luck into enough gear to survive until 2 or 3 circle closures. There's not a lot of reason to get kills in a heavy populated area.. too much chance of being flanked.. and the gear isn't any better.

Lol. This was probably my best use of a bush EVER.
I was pinched between 2 players. Then this happened.
Fucking lol. I went on to win that game.

That's pretty damn good. Quick thinking. You didn't know where those rockets were coming at first though did you?
