I was watching this guy in the summer skirmish today. I don't know how you would be able to track your building and be able to shoot anyone with that high of sensitivity.

Nah, the pros say that macros aren't reliable. They're just that good at building.

Pretty much a recap of how great I was playing last night. My back is sore from carrying everyone sporting a SCAR...

Wow. I didn't realize SCARs were that heavy.

So I am laughing my ass off at myself. I have never won a solo match. I got to the last 2 tonight. I snuck up under the front of this massive set of forts. In front to my right was the other guy. Behind to my right were two supply balloons with nothing but open field between he and the balloons. He decides to go after them. I line him up in my sights and unload seeing hit after hit. He throws up a hasty building. I duck back around the corner and pick up a rocket launcher. I run up a ramp and jump over a wall into a recess...and I accidentally bump my trigger button firing a rocket right where I was landing.

Maytheus13 went out with a BANG!

Sooooooo close hahahahaha!


Got too excited?

How is it that I'm the only one who can't figure out how to post a gif on here!?

I have an least 10 2nd place solo finishes in season 5. I had over 30 solo wins on prior seasons combined. I just lost the ability to get that final kill before dying in moronic fashion.

I must be getting too old. I finally decided to break down and get a walker (control freak knobs) this past weekend. We will see if that helps.

I only have 2 solo wins total (1 in season 3 and 1 in season 4) because I hardly play solo, and when I do I am just dropping in and playing super aggressive to work on fighting or defensively building.

It does seem like I have been playing against A LOT more streamers in the last 2 weeks. I'm not sure what is going on there. I'm also not sure why their name is Streamer[###] rather than their actual name.

Edit to say that I also fail every time I try and post a gif on TexAgs.

I'm a sucker for free Vbucks. Who wants to carry me?

Just a heads up... The scoped AR's don't count towards the Sniper Elimination weekly challenge.

I think it doesn't say their names so people can't stream snipe.

I'm game, but you may be carrying me. However, we did have 2 back to back wins at one point. However, you have to install Overwolf to be able to participate. Is it a PC only tournament?

Edit:
Can I participate in the challenge playing Fortnite on a console?

No, Overwolf is an appstore with apps for PC games only, this is why all Overwolf campaigns and challenges are exclusive for PC.

I don't know why rules always have to ruin the fun!?

I suppose it is because all the Russian spyware that migrates on to your PC by the app doesn't work on PS4. I guess I'll have to settle for the birthday cake back bling.

Nope. Has to be a sniper rifle or a hunting rifle.

Some of us have to work (and check TexAgs) for living. I don't have the luxury of spending my days doing a motorcycle "test"!!

We have a saying in the Navy: "Pick your rate (job), pick your fate." Can't complain about the life you chose.

It also helps being on the East coast.

Best way to get them if you aren't a great sniper is playing squads or 50v50 then boxing in a knocked opponent to eliminate with a sniper. This strategy works well for all specific weapon eliminations especially traps and explosives.

New patch is out:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/fortnite-update-510-patch-notes-birthday-event-slu/1100-6460686/

Most importantly, there is a change to elimination credit. If you use one weapon to knock a player and a second to eliminate, you will get credit for BOTH weapons.

Also some changes to wall strength of various mats. It will be interesting to see if brick and metal become more useful. Slurp will now give 75 health. Once health full, will add remaining to sheild.

And of course with Epic being Epic, eating a slice birthday cake will give you 5 health and 5 sheild.

Slurp also got boosted to 75 overall HP. It knocks out your health first to full 100 and whatever is left goes towards shields.

I like the changes that I see. The slurp will be extremely effective when caught in the storm now (buying you 75 seconds to get out of the storm before causing damage when the storm takes 1 hp per second). The changes to the mats strength will push people to use brick more often IMO.

I disagree. Doing nothing would ultimately ruin the game. They are creative and continue to evolve the game. Furthermore, they do a fantastic job of listening to their gamers and change things back if they do not work or are not liked (i.e. trap damage was nerfed for a week and then bumped back up when the community didn't like it).

That happens to all of them eventually. Either the gamers, the producers, or both will do something to kill it. The bad thing is you can't pull out a copy of Season 2 and play that build... Can't complain too much about a free game though.

But I do like the idea of the different materials offering different levels of protection. They also ought to have different build times.

Still having a lot of fun playing just wish I had more time to get into it.

Do they not already have different build times?

I think you have to continue to evolve the game. Can you imagine still playing on the original map? The game would have died a long time ago. It wasn't too long ago I was trying to double pump. Now I never pick up a shotgun. New SMGs have changed the meta again. Now I'll have to find new ways to get second place. I think the new wrinkles keep the game fresh. And yes, sometimes frustrating.

They do. In fact, the latest update changed the metal from 20 seconds to 25 seconds, but increased its health once fully built from 400 to 500.

Thought so. Usually use metal/brick for the base of something then use wood to expand all over.

I wonder if they will retroactively count the birthday challenges you complete today since it isn't tracking them right now. I've danced in front of 6 of the 10 cakes just in case.

One thing I wish they would change back is the ability to look through your walls when you go to edit so you can peek for enemies.
HossAg

These changes are meant to cater to the casual player with less wins. The game is by no means balanced anymore, and the skill gap has been ruined. Objectively, you can't look at this patch as a push towards a new balanced meta. It's not balanced.
