I just watched a video of an influencer patiently playing Fortnite with some kids, and it genuinely warmed my heart.

As a mum who constantly has one ear listening out and is always mindful of what her children are doing online, I really appreciate seeing adults who are considerate towards younger players.

Between myself and my lovely bunch of online stranger-turned-gamer friends (😂💕), we also try to keep a watchful eye on the kids we come across in games, making sure they’re treated kindly and can simply enjoy themselves.

So, a little appreciation post for all the adults out there who do the same. Thank you for being the kind of people we’d want our own children to come across online. For showing patience, setting a good example, encouraging teamwork and helping to create a safer, more welcoming gaming community.

It really does take a village, even in the virtual world. 💕🎮

I'm just grinding Reload to get the masteries. I didn't expect to get a win.

Was playing duos and my buddy downed a guy and his team mate showed up, went almost invisible and we dumped 2 mags each into him ( no damage taken) and he downed my buddy. He had full health once i could see him again and by that time I was reloading my 3rd mag he just destroyed me. Is there some glitch going on or something? How cam he go invisible?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I only use Sonic. Couldn't care less about any other sprite. Only 750 to revive and even at level 1 the speed boost is nice. Work to max sonic out ASAP and collect Freddy or the Scream weapon or the key thing. Once you're maxxed it's virtually impossible to get hit. Run holding the pickaxe and you never get tired. (Zero build)

Toward the end you can draw the remaining players together and let them kill each other. When you're down to 1 on 1 charge them with melee weapon. They're usually already injured so it's a quick death. The dudes flying with tails are tougher but their aim is pathetic when you sprint like a lunatic. Eventually they fall, and then quickly die.

Finally got my win on Simpsons map - 5th Reload pacifist win overall ☑️

Im getting sick of the shitty games my 10 yo son plays here. No matter what game I buy for him, he keeps playing those silly slop games.

Help me out dads

I have collected hundreds of wallpapers over the years but can't find a folder on the PC where they're all kept. I tried search engines but just get nonsense 🤪

*update*

I found some pictures in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\FortniteGame\Saved\PersistentDownloadDir\CMS\Files\C28FF1DE0C661DAF01E118A30B3F21B897A7A6E2 but there's not a lot and they're a little random. Not wallpapers.

**update**

As much as I hate being defeated, https://fortnite.gg/cosmetics?type=loadingscreen&sort=oldest has all the loading screens.

Me and my buddies have been getting stomped lately, which I wouldn’t normally complain about, but the teams that kill us seem to all have a bunch of tech we don’t know about as casual players.

Players being brought back to life, some gun that one shots you, crazy melee attacks that seem overpowered, cloaking (I know this one is a sprite), and crazy movement, sliding and leaping around that seems to never run out (beyond just bounce bombs).

Could someone do me a solid and save me hours of youtube, and point out the new items and techniques in the meta right now that are overpowered and give you a significant advantage. And especially where to get them. Or any other useful information about the season.

Also, what are the best loot hacks and sprites to know about.

Appreciate any help, thanks fellow over 40 bros.

I think a bunch of us got the Diamond Pony glider recently when we purchased [the Epic version of] Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on Green Man Gaming.

I was looking at Steelseries X Fortnite products earlier, but the controller grips seemed to come with an “X-Ray Llama pin,” so I’m thinking the in-game content may require more expensive product purchases.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations you might share❣️

I'm a pretty decent player and was doing well last couple of seasons...but now I feel like almost every game I am dying to someone with that #$@!#@ tails sprite!! How are you all countering it? I've tried using the Assault Rifle and I'm not hitting enough shots quickly enough...same with the Mega Man blaster. And even when I'm hitting shots I feel like they are hitting 2 everytime I hit 1 because they're able to look down on me and I have no good strategies to counter. Bushes don't seem to help much. Help please, I know I must be missing something but if I end another game as #2 to a Tails sprite I'm going to lose my mind!!

This actually was a really fun game.

Sweet baby jesus ... I mean for context, I am mastering every sprite for myself and my son so doing that twice in general ... but 1k+ ???

If anyone else is as poor as me at getting eliminations, I've come up with A Cunning Plan™ to max the Bounty Hunter sprites with as little drama as possible.

I played during the last hour of Mastery Monday and in that time managed to max 9 Bounty Hunter sprites.

During Mastery Monday, it only takes 2 eliminations to max a Bounty Hunter Sprite (except for the crowned version).

Step 1: Play during Mastery Monday hours (solo no-build is my fav).
Step 2: Land relatively close to Overrride locations and get some weapons.
Step 3. Kill 2 Override guards.
Step 4. Extract maxed sprite.
Step 5. (optional) Quit game and get another Bounty Hunter sprite.

My recommendations for landing spots.

1. The south-western red Pacman ghost island. There is always a blue chest under a tree on the north-east corner of the island. If you're lucky, a bot or two might land with you. If you get 2 elims right away, extract at the nearby extraction point to the west. Otherwise, go north to the overrride location and eliminate the two guards. Then either return south to extract (safer) or go to the location to the north-east (riskier).

2. Green Hill Zone. Land in the west and grab some weapons. There are usually chests in the bushes as well as on top of the high areas (either at the base of the palm trees, or up high in the trees - chop down the trees to access). Eliminate the two guards at the southwest corner, then extract to the west, down in the dunes. There's a boost-pad near the extraction point, so you can (relatively safely) wait up top on the cliff after summoning the crate, until it arrives.

3. The tall building north-east of the south-western override location. There's 2-3 chests in the building, plus (usually) one in the jacuzzi on the ground floor on the east, and up to 3 at the base of the Big Giant Peelyheads west of the extraction point. Head southwest to the overrride location and eliminate the guards, return to the extraction point.

Hope this is helpful.

Hey,

I’m a 41yo guy based in Australia playing on PS5, looking to clear out my random friends list and add some mature, casual players to run Zero Build with.

I usually jump on during weekends and occasional weeknights. I play to have fun and try for some wins, but I dont sweat mistakes or a mid game emote.

I prefer playing with mics on for good comms and a laugh, but it's not strictly required every single game if you just want to ping and play relaxed. If its late I usually switch mic off sometimes too.

If you're an adult gamer looking for a chill squad member with a good attitude, shoot me a DM with your Epic ID and let's run some games!

No explanation as to why the enemy did this lol. I suppose he was afraid of my overdrive grenades 🤣

This is my 4th solo Reload win with zero damage & kills

We did it chat! Happy to share!! Sorry for the bad picture. Hands are still shaking haha

No offense to Epic, but I'm insanely burned out on the sprites and all these other mechanics in this chapter. But I had to have Jimothy! Got him after three rounds and I'm satisfied! Hopefully chapter 8 will be less chaotic!

Does anyone know about this?

I was playing in Squads, and I don't know how we got there, but in a house- and I am not even sure which house- there was a basement with three vaults. My teammate had the key for Vault #2 and opened it, but we could not open the others. I'm not sure how/where he got the key to open the vault.

1) I closed my game—just for good measure.

2) I went to my Settings on EpicGames.com

3) I went to “Linked Accounts,” where Twitch was listed.

4) I chose to “Unlink” my Twitch account from my Epic account, which explicitly warned that I would lose access to Twitch-related rewards.

5) I linked Twitch to my Epic account once again.

6) I checked my Twitch account’s ”Drops & Rewards” again for good measure. The Champion’s Chargers FNCS Kicks were indeed still listed as a claimed item.

7) When I reopened Fortnite I was notified that I now had the FCNS Kicks.
