Welp, went and tried out the new mode, got just beyond the 45 minute mark...and on the rewards screen the game is 'down to address a critical issue' and spits me out. It's not quite the moronic four hour event thing where people were getting screwed with ten minutes to go, but it's still pretty irritating.

Last I heard, the entire STW gamemode was turned off. https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1075016583901310976 I won't even get to play the new update for another 8 hours. I hope everything is fixed by then.

Thats the one. I think one of the challenges was land in x, y and z. I was doing it and all of a sudden like 20 tiers a pop. and many million tears from everybody who missed it before it was patched

I am very curious abut how differently they're handling distributed data. Storage/inventory wiping has happened before and data duplication has been a huge problem as well. It's a very hard problem to solve but there are tons other games that seem to avoid deleting customer data.

tweet my meat posted:Does the suppressed pistol have any upside over an smg? 50ish damage headshots (quick 2tap on someone with no shield), silenced, perfect first shot accuracy and longer range. It can be used in place of the SMG / AR in early game. If you already have an AR, the smg is preferable imo.

Does the Hand Cannon also have perfect first shot accuracy? I got a good one yesterday and just thought I was really lucky.

The hand cannon is a freaking sniper rifle sometimes. I've gotten so many lucky high damage shots with that thing from far away. I even dumpstered a guy who was shooting at me with one of the regular sniper rifles.

Thats the thing in this game, and its frustrating sometimes. Auto weapons are just a crap shoot most of the time, but single shot guns are always dead on with the first shot. I picked a guy off with the hunting rifle who was trying to escape in plane last night. I feel like they ruined bursts too making them completely useless, I used to feel as thought they were a lot more accurate, but maybe its just me.

Whoops, joined the Vaulted LTM not realizing it was squads and got destroyed on my first drop. Got carried to a win with an auto-fill team the next game, so that was nice. For some reason, the quad launcher spawns in that game mode, though.

I just won solo mode of BR by hiding in a bush for 10 minutes, then hiding behind a rock for another 10 minutes. I got 0 kills, landed maybe one shot on the last enemy and he got killed by the storm while hiding from me. Am I gud now? edit: I admit I had thermal scoped rifle on me, so I knew where the last enemies were Dwesa fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Dec 19, 2018 |

I got to 2nd place in solo last night by gliding around the map in a plane. I think I got one kill off of it before I got hooked on a zipline pole. lol. Then I did unusually well at shooting 3 players in a row. The last guy did me in though. He hid behind a tree I didn't check and then shotgunned me at the last second. I checked the replay and he knew exactly where I was at all times, while I had no clue where he was. I even found out he took a couple of pot shots at me with his sniper rifle that I didn't know about.

And I will rock you with a burst, it's my go to if I'm trying to win. Is anyone going to try to build a Block level?

Very few non-holiday items have gone more than 100 days.

Was loving around at the final circle in tilted spamming sprinkler and rock out while hiding, I stopped for a second and realized that someone else who was hiding had started spamming the same dances a floor above me. They even kept doing it while I spectated them after they killed me and nearly won the match.

Team 33 Rumble this morning, got knocked down and little hope of rescue. The guy who shot me starts dancing over me. Then someone 9/11'd a plane into him.

Its not really that cool since its not a major point of contention but you can truly 9/11 the tower in Lonely, or I guess any of the other couple similar ones across the map, in one pass. I like stacking 9 dynamite and trying to level whole areas.
