do switch FN players think i can have fun with it, playing with just one hand? (broken arm)

I'm pretty uncertain but if you want to give it a try, here's a pro tip from the last page on a place you can drop and just chill:

Azran posted:



It's this spot. You want either this tree or the tree south of it, not the one to the right of the marker because that one's foliage won't cover you. The first circle is always guaranteed to include this hill, I've yet to see it not cover it. I normally get 400-500 exp if I let myself get killed by the storm, less than 20 people tend to be alive by then. This is, of course, if the second circle doesn't include the hill. If the second one does, then it's closer to 600-700. I've gotten PLENTY of second places by doing this, which nets me about 900-1000. I've got the 120% booster from the battlepass, mind you.

From level 72 to level 76, I've only gotten killed once, and it was someone who wanted the tree for themselves. Most people won't notice you because people diving there are going for Dusty or Tilted.

It requires both joycons to play and both sticks to move and aim. I can’t see it happening with one hand.

Well, correction, if you walk to a perch and only camp and snipe you could do it maybe. But aim down sight and fire are on opposite joycons. If you kept ADS on maybe.

The nice thing is Fortnite is free, so download it and see if it’s playable for you

I was in some Discord where people were stressing KDA ratios hard for team picking is the only reason I know. Otherwise seems pretty unimportant.

Did they do something to shotguns recently? I've had a really nasty run of rounds where every person I meet is doing some dumb loving swap trick with pump shotguns while effortlessly jumping in circles around me.

It is called double pumping! Welcome to hellworld. Always carry 2 shotguns.

I've been running pump and smg for a week and it's been a game changer. Silenced or tac, grey or purple, I'm ripping dudes up.

I'm interested in the changes they announced today. Sounds like silenced smgs will be my priority, but we'll see...

The new dual pistols are pretty damned ruinous.
You can three-click your way through wooden structures, which is pretty fast even at long range.
Not the best accuracy but still pretty deadly!

Did this for two rounds before bar trivia tonight, got #8 with two kills in one round and #13 in the second round. I can’t play a lot every night, and I’m bad (5 wins in 300 some solo matches), so this is my best bet for getting even to 65 to max out my carbide stuff.

I can tune a fish.
Y'know, I was very slowly coming to appreciate 5x20 mode once I learned how the circles worked and lucked into some decent teammates, even if it was still inferior to 50v50. But 8x12 is a shitshow because there's only one drop route, so all of the 12 year olds drop at the first available hotspot, die in the first 5 minutes, and then the game basically just turns into a weird version of squads where the circles are predictable and sometimes somebody gets to cheat and bring a fifth teammate.

You guys have to add each other with epic account usernames to squad up in fortnite. Not with Switch friend codes.

God dammit they removed the 50 vs 50 again. The game is so loving boring otherwise. It's like I get to play it for 2 days once a month. Do they not want people playing or what.

Yup. 50v50 is the best of the large team options because you get the fun/low stress part of working with a big group but the odds of getting screwed over by your lovely team mates are way more in your favor compared to 20x5 etc.

8x12 kinda sucks.
I wish they would do a 50v50 mode but one person on each side could be a commander like in Battlefield 2. So you could drop in on and talk to the various squads and drop waypoints for them or say things like "hey, heads up the squad in B5 just got wiped out".

Yeap, PUBG allowed 8 man squads to queue up for 8x12. Was really hoping Epic would've copied that by now. Probably not easy to implement though, especially since the backbone is focused entirely on 4 man co-op.

That's kinda the point of Final Fight though. It stops one guy or a squad from just boxing up and hiding at the end and dragging the game out pointlessly. Instead they can either fight and maybe win or they can hide and definitely lose. I like it as a change, no one really enjoyed the hunt for the last guy .
