Why does it show zero kills for you during that whole fight?

For some reason, when loading the video of a replay after the fact (didn't hit the share button before closing the game), it does that. In my first video, it shows my actual kills, health, weapons, etc. because it is the PlayStation saved video, not the Fortnite replay within the game.

They should increase Thanos Health to stupid level and then make it 99 against 1. How awesome would that be.

Or now that they brought back the 50v50, make one person on one side Thanos and one person on the other side Ironman or Starlord or something. When that individual dies, another team member can pick up the power, but the opposing team can't.

v4.2 comes out tomorrow. If you've got any Thanos clips that you haven't saved to video, you better get on it tonight, b/c they probably won't work after tomorrow.

I've been Thanos once. Once. Down to two people and I get killed by a sniper I couldn't find...while the storm was closing in. Woe my ineptness.

Can't accomplish the "watch a replay" until the update is released tomorrow morning, and there are more duck locations than the ones in the graphic above. I found at least three that aren't on that map (greasy, under the bridge to the north of the map and northern part of moisty that I can remember)

It looks like they removed the "watch a match replay" challenge and added "revive players (5)." It is interesting that it still shows that I have completed the blockbuster challenge for this week since I did so before they made this change, however it shows I am only 6/7 for the week 3 challenges now.

We just got an xbox one and want to play from x1 to pc, so I'll link the accounts.

1. Can I get xbox live on my account and my son still use it for his account as long as he's on the "home" xbox?

2. If so, does that mean both of us can link our xbox and epic game accounts?

3. We have a headset, but no one can hear us. It tested well on my phone and in the pc settings where you can test it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I predominately play Fortnite on PS4. However, I also have it set up on Xbox and this is what I can recall as part of that set up process (did it 6-7 months ago):

1. You will need to set up a family member avatar/account that can play under your Xbox live account. Otherwise, you have to buy 2 Xbox live subscriptions. I was able to play duos with my oldest son in the same house on 2 different Xbox's with one Xbox live subscription and one copy of Fortnite. There are several videos on youtube that show how to set it all up.

2. You each will then need your own epic account. When you log into the Xbox and then open Fortnite, it will open with the epic account linked to that Xbox user. As such, if I was logged in and open Fortnite, it is my epic account that shows up and when my son logs in with his family Xbox user/avatar, he gets his epic account when he opens Fortnite.

3. You need to look at how you have your privacy restrictions set up on the Xbox. Have your son "Friend" you and make sure the restrictions allow for communication between friends on both Xbox accounts. Check your internet connection and make sure you have an "open NAT". Join "Xbox party" with you son from the home screen. You should be able to communicate in the home screen as a test. Then open Fortnite and you should still be able to communicate.

Hope that helps.

BTW, Awesome user name; When I discovered "Fido95" was taken on the PS4 and had to find an alternative, I tried to use "Inigo Montoya"!?!

Thanks. And sadly, some of our biggest parent pride is that the kids can quote almost the whole movie!

And thank you for the help. We're actually having trouble with the headset on the pc, not the xbox. We tried talking with a friend in the lobby and he couldnt hear us. Since it works in the settings screen, its frustrating that its not working in the game.

Man random squads have sucked ass lately. You'll be lucky if 3 of the 4 land in the same spot.

It is a solo challenge. Same game as the current solo, but they are tracking the statistics and awarding prizes to the top finishers.

Agreed. Or they are so fired up to go dominate Tilted Towers, and then they all die in the first 3 seconds, leaving you alone.

Add me, FIDO95, and Old Buffalo (PS4 names can be found on the first page of this thread). We play regularly in the evenings.

1. Use the builder pro controller configuration.
2. Mess around with your different sensitivity settings for X axis, Y axis, etc. until you get it where you want it. FIDO has a good post on this a few pages back.
3. Start by dropping into wailing woods, chopping trees, and learning to build.
4. After you get comfortable with that, drop into the major towns and work on your fighting.
5. Watch youtube videos (MonsterDFace is a good follow) to observe some of the things they do and pick up on different strategies.

With all of that being said, I need to get better at building during fights so I will probably revert back to #3 on my list when playing solo for a bit.

Do all the things zip said. Then, if you're like me, learn to deal with how bad you.

I'm definitely too old to play this game. I cannot multitask shooting and building.

I'll add y'all this weekend. How do I reconfigure my controller?

Also, 50v50 is a great opportunity to practice building without worrying about getting killed quickly. Drop near the circle, gather 999 wood, get just inside the circle, and then build until you are out of resources. Practice switching from building to your weapon quickly.

I second using 50 v 50 to practice.

It is also good for knocking off some of the challenges.

For those of you who love Brackets:

https://umggaming.com/friday-fortnite/brackets

Umg hosts tournaments with some of the best gamers/streamers. You can watch a lot of the matches online. A squad is made up of two, 2-man teams and they are placed on a server (as such, they can't kill each other). They play a couple of rounds. Whichever 2 man team has more kills after 2 games gets to advance. I watched some of the action on twitch last week in the 10k tournament. Pretty impressive skills. The 20k tournament is this Friday, May 25.

I'm interested to see how these jet packs work in squads/duos. If you use one to outrun the storm, are you leaving your team behind?
