I'm not going to have enough time to play this season to get the John Wick but that's ok. All fear the pink bunny rabbit.

Honestly now since we're at the end of the season the John Wick skin is really not as daunting as it used to be. I definitely would be as wary with a pink bunny rabbit as a JW!

I didn't even know it did that before I got it so it turned out extremely worth it.

They really need to show how things move and change when you use them, like gliders and pickaxes. I'd guess updating that animation wouldn't be hard to include in the preview, similar to dances.

I'm playing catch-up and just hit rank 100. Can't wait to try and grind this one out in the remaining short time before the season ends. :shepface:

You can get the axe kill on a downed guy, if you’re having trouble.

I actually got my first solo win playing like a wuss to guarantee getting a top ten finish.

I gifted my cousin a truckload of vbucks, and he bought some crappy skin and I don't know what else. None of the good stuff.
At least he will look unique from the now on.

Also failed the mark to buy a cool skin for myself. I don't play BR often, but I still did not wanted to play has a noskin.

You would have trough that founders get one free skin. But no.

Anytime they have even a minor update, it corrupts all replays. They’re hoping to fix so it only corrupts every two weeks during larger updates.

This honestly drives me crazy. I thought initially that the rename-and-save would make it future-proof but apparently not. If you ever want to make a highlight, gif or video of a replay better do it immediately because in two days it'll be unusable.

if is like other mod replays in other games, is because it works by recording the network communication, and the id's may change from a update to the next

that is exactly the way it works. so if they shelve a weapon, it wont show correctly or if they add a crater, people will be randomly walking over mid air

oh, and S4 starts tomorrow :neckbeard:

I feel that Fortnite has been raising the bar constantly since somebody found a glitch to mount a rocket, and instead of nerfing it they embraced the silliness of it.

The bar is so high just now, than it will be very hard to "pay" for the hype the whole meteor thing have created.

I've had a few close calls with meteors and have seen them demolish portions of enemy forts more than once. They're a bit gimmicky but also make the endgame slightly more exciting.

meteors wrecking poo poo owns cause it makes people move more and leads to funny plays. it's a good thing for short term hype at the end of a season. if it lasted longer than a week or 3, yeah, it'd get annoying.

Yeah I vastly overestimated how long it'd take to do them. Sitting at 4 completed right now with 6/10 matches with an elimination, 0/3 top 3 in squads, and 01 for 5+ kills in a match as my last 3 to pick from (going for kills because the 50v50 chaos is fun and easy to find snipe targets). I had two 4 kill 50v50 matches and died like a dummy both times. Both times also had teammates near who could rez but getting revived in 50v50 is rarer than finding a gold scar and rocket launcher in your first house of a match. :sigh:

If it was giant showers destroying the whole map constantly yeah, it'd get old if it stuck around forever, but as is it's uncommon enough to actually be an extra layer of "oh poo poo!" unpredictability. I think it adds a lot of fun since it potentially can throw a wrench in the perma-forts and camping/turtling in end game and in early or mid has thrown in a bit of "Oh hey, that place you were running to for the chest isn't on the map now," randomization.

Why do all Fortnite streamers yell "Let's go!" after each kill? It's so annoying. Is it a PUBG thing?
