New storm reverse bottle is interesting. Got an easy kill after using it when the player freaked out and tried to escape it.

RIP to you folks that love the boom bow and play team rumble. It's vaulted only in that mode

You can definitely notice the kids are on summer break now... us olds quickly go from winning at least once a night to only winning once the last few days.

I don't generally like doing rando squads, but when I do, it's usually because I'm at home on a school day. Guess that's out the window for a couple of months.

It's not bad. I almost always do random squads when our regular squad isn't on. Most of the people with mics are older and not little 10 year old trash talkers comparing skins and stuff

#1: SypherPK educational commentaries are the best.

#2: Flintknock now the new meta next to the combat shotgun.

Saw that vid and it's pretty awesome like most of his educational vids. I'll take a flint-knock over the tac shotgun every single time.

It takes forever to reload, so you have to have another weapon to switch to.

Oh no doubt. If I already have an AR though, I'll be choosing the flint knock over the tac 100% of the time.

It needed to just be gone from the entire game as they acknowledged that it's OP. People aren't running around constantly with 200hp in normal game modes either.

Awesome update today. Really like that the pump is in with the other 2 shotguns so epic can see how they are used when all are available. Mat count increase for llamas is also good.

WEAPONS + ITEMS
  • Revolver
    • Available in Epic and Legendary variants.
    • Fires Medium Ammo.
    • Holds 6 rounds.
    • 63 / 66 damage per shot.
    • Headshot multiplier of 2.
    • Available from Floor loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Loot Carriers.
  • Vaulted
    • Rare Tactical Assault Rifle
      • With the unvaulting of the Suppressed Submachine Gun, we wanted to make sure loot distribution in this class of item was well distributed.
    • Impulse Grenades
    • Rift-To-Go
    • Pirate Cannon
  • Unvaulted
    • Uncommon and Rare Pump Shotgun
      • Available in floor loot and Vending Machines
      • There's been a lot of feedback around the Tactical Shotgun and Combat Shotgun effectiveness, and so we're experimenting with a world where the Pump Shotgun joins the current shotgun lineup.
    • Shockwave Grenade
    • Suppressed SMG
      • We feel the Suppressed Submachine Gun can fill a complementary role to the Burst Submachine Gun as a viable alternative.
    • Common, Uncommon, and Rare Revolver
  • Tactical Shotgun
    • Availability from floor loot reduced from 8.19% to 5.4%
    • Headshot Multiplier increased from 2 to 2.25
  • Burst SMG
    • Availability adjustments
      • Availability from floor loot reduced from 5.03% to 3.1%
      • Availability from chests reduced from 18.66% to 10.32%
    • Balance adjustments
      • Base accuracy increased by 13.6%
      • Jumping accuracy penalty reduced from 15% to 5%
      • Sprinting accuracy penalty reduced from 30% to 20%
      • Base damage increased from 23/24/25 to 24/25/26
    • The Burst SMG was dropping a bit too frequently for the role it was intended to fill. Additionally, it was underperforming when compared to similar items.
  • SemiAuto Sniper Rifle
    • Availability from floor loot reduced from 0.65% to 0.44%
    • Availability from chests reduced from 5.1% to 3.4%
  • FlintKnock Pistol
    • Availability from floor loot reduced from 1.97% to 1.32%
  • Infantry Rifle
    • Increased the Epic and Legendary Infantry Rifle clip size from 8 to 10
  • Minigun
    • Increased player damage from 18/19 to 20/21
  • DrumGun
    • Reduced clip size from 50 to 40
    • Reduced fire rate from 9 to 8
    • Since the unvaulting, the Drum Gun has outperformed in unintended areas. This adjustment should help create more counterplay in combat.
  • Heavy Assault Rifle
    • Increased damage from 36/38/40 to 38/40/42
    • The Heavy Assault Rifle usage rates aren't quite where we'd like. This adjustment to Damage is intended to offset some of the downsides of the weapon.
GAMEPLAY
  • Supply Llama
    • Increased the material count from 200 of each to 350 of each
    • Increased the total number of Llamas per match from 3 to 5

Get the trash AK (Heavy Assault Rifle) out of the game. It is everywhere and so inaccurate. NO ONE likes that gun and adding 2 damage isn't going to fix it if you can't hit anyone with it in the first place! If you want the usage rate to be appropriate, vault it!

L2 spam and it's deadly.

I am glad to see the drum gun nerfed, but it will only make the combat shotgun even more indispensable.

Personal preference, but I'll be taking the pump over the combat every single time and combo it with the silenced smg. It's a great counter to the combat with the ability to one pump someone.

Game was unplayable for me with pump vaulted. Might give it another chance. Haven't been happy with their balancing choices for the past few months at all.

I don't know what is more impressive! The fact that he won despite 99 people trying to kill him or the baller move around 3:59?!

Need a little help from you Fortnite experts. Last night my son was playing with a friend. Apparently they beat this other team, who were mad and upset. One of the kids on the other team said he knew where we live, and quoted the city and state. So how the heck did they know that, and how do I turn that setting off? He's on an Xbox.

TIA

they got your IP address. there's software you can run on a PC while gaming to retrieve the IP addresses of other players. This is sometimes used to flood other players internet connections with traffic to cause lag and allow the cheater to win.

other than city and state, i doubt that they could find you, as IP addresses are issued by the ISP (usually randomly when you connect to the network) and can change every time you reboot the router.

unless your son uses his Xbox username on other public forums like social media where he would have personal information tied to it.

Yep. Those kids need to be reported for threats.

Thanks a bunch. I don't think he uses his Xbox username for anything else other than xbox. He's not on social media. If all they are getting is the IP address, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

The content this guy is making is awesome. Check out how he saves himself around the 15min mark. He also recently did an educational commentary on box fighting that has a ton of useful tips and tricks.

They have a Creative LTM up about storming the beach. Pretty good but takes a long time because you play it as the attacking and the defensive team.

I think the event is Saturday, the countdown is above the sky platforms.
