That’s the point. If you don’t have a jet pack, you automatically lose to anyone with a jet pack unless they suck.

Yeah, so far my games in Fly Explosives have involved a lot of people flying around trying to land hits when people touch down to recharge their packs or throwing stickies in mid-air at people.

It's been a blast :v: and around 1/3 of my kills have been dumbasses forgetting that the jetpack needs to recharge and falling to their deaths or doing it out of spite to deny me or my squad getting credit for the kill.

True. However, they've had going on three years to have a lifeguard/Olympic diver Roadhog in a speedo skin and haven't produced so the game's still irredeemable poo poo in my opinion.

Well PUBG runs better these days. Not that I play it anymore, but at least they got that going for them. Which is impressive, seeing as it ran like dog poo poo at first. Kinda funny how Fortnite did the opposite, from super smooth to a slow piece of poo poo in PvE. And I haven't heard a lot of good stories about optimization for BR either.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Kind of proud of my progress just now. I've been playing for less than...a fortnight , and I'm winning proper fights now and have done most of the available challenges. I cleared one weekly and have one left on each of two others (1 grenade kill and 3 kills in Haunted Hills)

Just now I got 2 kills and made top 10 after initially deciding to see if you can glide back to the island where you wait for the match to begin (I was not surprised to find you can't) got a couple of nice guns in the toilet factory, took a nice SMG from my first victim, and remember to switch to it fast enough killing the second to get one of my dailys done.

Still can't do the quick towers though, that will probably block me from getting an umbrella for a while.

PvE has some stuff that makes it chug, most notably when someone drops in or out. I think Seditiar primarily plays that.

I don't often play it, but I hear people whining about it here and there. Hence the not a lot of good stories part. I don't think I've dropped below 140 FPS in BR the last time I played it (several games like 3 days ago), which is nice, but it was stuck on 165 2 months ago so :shrug:

Still beats PvE with sometimes dropping to 70 FPS in a fight though.

I used to average 190 not so long ago, now it’s around 220-230.

No clue what the other people were on about then. PvE's performance is definitely a lot worse than before, though. But that's (mostly) due to added features that require a ton of processing power.

With PvE I can definitely imagine, I picked it up myself during the recent discount and the differences are noticeable as is.

So bush is loving funny with a jetpack.

I found a bush and flew on top of a tree, and then I just bounced between trees for the rest of the match in plain sight as a flying bush, occasionally dropping grenades on people's heads. It was down to me and one other person, and I couldn't find them until another bush flew into view and we had a flying bush-off. I would have won but I fatfingered while flying and splatted on the ground.

I gotta say. Trying to get those Flush chests is the first time this game has felt like tedium. Either fight enemies or fight your own team for them. They could have at least only made it 3 or 4 you have to get.

You can inspect challenges and then replace it with another random one, but only once a day.
I usually do that with the sniper ones. Last time it gave me a pistol challenge instead.

I actually had that last night and honestly don't know how I completed it :confuoot:

Also, did anybody else's build structures challenge just... complete itself? I played 3 games of 50v50 and the challenge progress time would just randomly pop up without random additions until it completed itself.

I dropped dusty last night and got a deagle immediately. Was able to waste 3 people with it letting me finish dusty and pistol eliminationss for the week in the first game. Got to top 40 with 6 kills (by far my most kills at that point in the game). Then I got killed by the most potato player while fighting someone else. It was brutal.

Yup, it is! When I got in top 10 in solo awhile ago it was cause I engaged with somebody who did me a bit of damage, killed them, started to heal up then had someone try to come in and clean me up.

I blew them the gently caress up with 10 grenades, not before taking some damage, and as soon as I killed them someone just popped out from behind a tree behind me and started raining minigun hell on me and I just couldn't rally :sigh:

Bad girls think that you're being a boob punch

I accidentally queued into a squad fills instead of the flying explosive squads, and won despite my two other teammates dying immediately. I somehow lucked out at the end because one dude in a squad of three got knocked from fall damage and a teammate started rezzing out in the open, allowing for me to pick him off and 1v1 their last dude. I'm going to stick with solos from now on, though.
