4) when in doubt, roar for them


Is there some sort of roar function? I’ve heard a few times now a huge sound like a roar or rocket engine or some massive noise and I don’t know what In the game is causing it?

When someone goes through a rift it makes a very loud noise, that's probably it.

Yes there is Rawr emote with loud rear end roar in the end. But it's probably what Johnny says in general case recently, rifts are much louder than emotes.

Actually the best mode is 50vs50 with a friend, who jumps out of the bus asap, leaves, goes into replay mode and hunts the llama down with a max speed free range drone while you hang in the air as long as possible.

That's some crazy poo poo. Just play some games and the llama will come.

We found a llama last night and i stole it from my teammate who searched it instead of hitting it. Felt good when he killed himself trying to impulse me off a cliff.

Wish I'd seen that, but was too busy socializing out at a friend's house. I miss you jerks!

Downing an enemy is not eliminating them. :eng101:

If you (or someone else) finishes your downed target with grenades you'll get credit.

They changed this several patches ago. Any kind of elimination challenge should count either knockdowns or finishing off people you knocked down.

Somehow killed myself with a sticky grenade because I threw one against a downed enemy. It instantly blew up though, instead of doing the timed beep.

They bled out which caused the clinger to automatically blow up, which is also why you didn't get the challenge credit.

They didn’t bleed out, since I literally threw the clinger against them right after they went down. But good guess.

Also they clearly did not fix the elimination challenges counting for both types as kills, as I’ve experienced multiple examples of it still not working.

I guess so. It’s just annoying to me when my friends want to drop in some lovely spot with a bunch of people just to do some dumb challenge. I hate achievements too when they’re tied to doing stuff people wouldn’t normally do in multiplayer. It feels distracting even to players that don’t care about them.

Best way to find a llama is to open your parachute above the desert biome and jus scan the ground for the purple colored llama stark against the orange/tan terrain.

Some challenges are easier after a week or two. It's drat hard to find chests in a place with a ton of other people competing with me for that one.

I like them myself. They give me something to do in the game. I'm not what you'd call a "good player" whatever that means. I get some squad and duo wins with my friends but have yet to get a win in solo. "Killing 3 players in _____" or "do ___ damage with SMGs" are things I can actually do. If I get killed in the first minute of landing, well at least I flew through a few rings before I died and made a little progress on that one.

There are also plenty of times I've been just playing and getting challenges done that I hadn't even tried to get.

You can get some cool cosmetics, and you can easily get enough v-bucks by playing to pay for the next season pass.

Should have ran him over with the cart to push him out of the way allowing you to open it.

I had a teammate in 50v50 grief me for an entire game cause I was a hair ahead of him and picked up a blue AR before him. He literally followed me, till the end of the game, constantly trying to build me into a box. The first time I was like wtf if this dude doing and he threw down his green AR then just waited.

I red carded him, edited him back into his own box then ignored him the entire match. I really hope it ruined that idiot's day :agesilaus:

I think its fair to say the 20+ and certainly 30+ playerbase in this is by far the minority compared to kids. I must say though I didn't really encounter any dummies/kids the first few days I was playing. Then one day I got in a squad with Big Gay Man or something I dunno and he immediately says "if you die you're gay". Kid sounded about 13. My 10 or 11 yo nephew called me out of the blue last night and asked me to play, showing offline because apparently the game is so crazy that if he appears online he will be inundated with party reqs. I've never played any of the poo poo he cares about (95% Minecraft) and its weird and kinda cool to be able to play with them. But of course he knew 10x more than me, found 2 llamas which I only briefly remembered seeing something about here and wasn't sure if I was supposed to open it or not. We managed to get top 10 in our first round. But he wouldn't shut up about blue tacs and heavy shotguns and telling me how many mats he had.

My feeling towards looting is, well, you cant take that poo poo with you. Why get upset about it? You can load yourself out with all legs and then get gunned down and regardless you are back to square one for the next round. Long as I got full shield I will make do with whatever I can scrounge up.

I took a look at the system reqs last night, says you can play on Intel HD and Nvidia 600 series is still good? I wasn't even gonna bother trying it on my laptop, i7/8gb/2gb GT630 but maybe its worth a try, it is only 1366x768 after all.

This is usually good info to share in case your team gets into a big build fight or needs to assemble a tunnel to get between locations, etc. Blue Tac and Heavy shotguns are the best shotguns in the game right now and some of the best weapons in close range situations. In the "end game" you'll want at least one of these.

Low end graphics makes fortnite look like rear end, but yeah, it's really playable on most things. Hence how they have a hyper optimized version for Switch and iOS. Just make sure your internet connection is plenty stable.

Mine rolled:

Exploding headshot

In that picture I had just swapped crit for damage. Going to swap Stab for Reload (mandatory) and to Energy eventually. And yeah a few are purple and one orange I think. For reference its a 4 star gun in a level 70 area (scaled appropriately - though also using Headhunter with another HH passive for head explosions).

I encountered my first person who seemed to be hacking/macroing/scripting, whatever you'd call it, but it was both the most obvious and most useless way to cheat possible. He was building walls extremely slowly but every wall he built instantly went up with a door on one side, and it was a 2x3 base so it was a mountain fortress with ~15 doors. I'm not seeing the benefit to that and I'm guessing that would be easily reportable but as they were otherwise moving slowly and died about 30 seconds later I didn't do anything other than watch the replay, could not even see the delay between the wall going up & turning into the edit.

You can edit before building, and all of your placements of that piece during that game will already have the edit. So some people will edit the pyramid piece to look like a ramp, because it has more durability than normal ramps and allows for consistent peaking through the cracks.
