I’m enjoying the new updates a lot. Especially the nerf to double shotguns and the buff to shotgun consistency.

I'm glad I saw this! I just tried it out in a game, and I got lucky with the storm center. I got right under the tree, and lasted through the first two storm shrinks. Got to 26 people left before I had to move, made it to #10.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
The patch feels great now that I've been able to play! It was giving me the hour long queue too but I just logged out and played something else and then within an hour was able to log in fine, no waiting required. Ingame voice chat seemed to be completely broken (could see the mic icon light up but couldn't hear anything) but PSN party chat worked fine. Still haven't driven a drat golf cart but rifts are a loving awesome map feature and I love them, it seems like they're currently static (although I wouldn't be surprised if they changed week to week ala the hop rocks convoy) and I need to find a map of them real quick because they can give you a big boost when you're running from the storm

Can you drive a golf cart through a rift?😧

Yes you can rift-jump with the kart.

Yesterday in duos we won 3 carts at the Lazy Links. Decided to leave one for safe keeping, so we build 4 walls and a roof over it. Edited the walls into archways and slapped a trap on underside of the roof and drove off. A few minutes later we're dancing in the loot lake club when a trap kill message pops up out of nowhere. :getin:

Also, clingers + kart enemies = easy explosive weapon kills.

I'm afraid I can not lol. Im glad it's in the game because i'd probably get sniped way more if it wasn't, but god drat I can not deal with the bullet drop

I hope they continue tweaking the gyro controls for the Switch version; aiming down a scope makes it jump all over even at low settings, and I'd love to be able to change X and Y independently

holy poop those carts are loud. I was looking around in the supervillain lair and heard one outside from the side where the crater used to be, I thought the missile was coming back or something and went to ground for a hot minute

Dusty Divot is now my favourite place.
Visibility is awful.
Lots of traps tend to spawn and have some great placements.
Not toooo many people compete for it but enough to make the early game evil.
Most of the time you are in the circle for midgame.

gently caress these are so good and gonna be a hell of a grind (into next season).


also, Karts own. Get a squad who has a lot of emotes and just roadtrip around the map tapping on people with ARs or doing hilarious drive bys. If you're a decent driver and alright at positioning, the only thing that should really get in your way is teammates building in the kart :argh:

Can you punt people to death with the kart? I went after a guy and hit him probably 10 times without killing him before he minigunned me.

Even if you can’t, the knockback from hitting people is cartoonishly hilarious.

Also I will say there is no better feeling than being in the kart, having someone try to take you out and building boost with a sick drift and boosting away from them

Them making it accumulated exp and allowing you to still unlock after the season is cool and the right move. They should have retroactive done this with carbide and omega. Hell add a couple of challenges like 50 assualt rifle kills and it would be perfect.

Carts are not quite warthogs but they're still hilarious. Was down to like 20:1 in a 50v50 last night that ended up centering right on Tilted. I don't know if anyone was even trying to find the guy because we were all too busy building sick golf cart ramps.

With some luck, passenger next to driver can build ramp on the go.

I'm pretty confident that the ATKs have a higher top potential speed than the shopping carts. Would have to build some ramps near the (working!!!!) speed checkers in the desert unless there are some other places to check

That reminds me, I noticed there are also lap timers over the race track. I gotta assume those are functional as well. There are so many neat little touches in this update.

This game is so sick lol. I basically just play with some old IRL friends who live in different cities and we get maybe 2 or 3 elims per game and spent 90% of the time just wandering around chopping down trees and talking poo poo. I'm so glad they're adding more content to make it the ultimate loving Around With Your Boys Simulator

See I always play Battlefield and everyone else not only plays call of newbie, but play it on xbox or ps4 and I'm on PC. Or its Dark Souls which no one else I know will touch. I always game by myself as far as IRL people interaction goes. But my buddy down the road was telling me about this a couple weeks ago and I had already tried it and didn't like it, but it seemed like a bunch of them play it so I started playing on gfs Xbone with them and its nice to just not be wound up and focusing on my k/d and winning. Okay I still hate to get gunned down by someone in the last 15-20 but ya know. I don't know, at 30 years old, if I've ever played a game with people I actually know with voice chat and all. So that's probably the best part to me. I cant wait to get back to my house tonight after being away and cross play with them on PC. I wont be out sniped anymore.

Feel free to jump in the Serious Overchill discord as well! There’s usually at least a couple people on each evening, and everyone enjoys themselves. It’s a good mix between goofing around and trying to actually win.

So Xbox is not allowing me to buy anything on Fortnight. Is there a reason for this? I've tried three credit cards and a PayPal account and I get virtually the same error message. I've put in a call to Microsoft support but, is this at all something that happens?
