I realized today that I'm addicted to shooting out other players' tires whenever they're driving literally anything.

I won't even necessarily aim at them to kill them, I just love ruining their ride.

Not sure why none of the official channels are announcing this, but if you play 100 rounds of Fall Guys before July 11th, you can earn free cosmetics for Fortnite and Rocket League. Just make sure all those games are connected to the same Epic Games account.

What counts as a round in Fall Guys? A whole game or each individual event?

So I recently stated playing this and had a question. Right now I’m at battle pass level 50, do I have any hope of getting to 90 before the season ends?

Yeah, I'd say so. Do your dailies, the seasonal and weekly quests, and you'll be rolling in xp. There are also some (kinda bullshit) creative modes that people have made that actually give XP. They're legit, surprisingly enough.

You can do 90 and beyond. I left off at 50 a few weeks ago, and banged out 50-95 in about a week, playing a couple hours a few nights. Start focusing on weekly quests - you can usually knock out 3-5 a match. You can also do those in parallel with the vibin’ quests.

Don’t focus on winning; you get much less experience playing as a battle royals. just organically open as many chests and ammo boxes, and hit some milestone quests as targets of opportunity (use ripsaws to destroy stuff; ride wolves, etc)

There may be one; but I wouldn’t grind out the milestone ones by themselves - they generally offer only 5-7k exp per milestone, below what you can get doing weeklies and vibin chains. Just get those organically. (Like thank the bus driver every match, always pick up a bounty when near a board; always unload all your ripsaw blades into buildings)

Yeah I think the season's only halfway over and typically they add more and more ways to get XP as it goes on (like, in addition to the standard weekly quests). Usually getting to 100 isn't too bad, the post-100 rewards (generally recolors of other skins) are a grind though

Playing Team Rumble is a good way to make XP. Not only do you get to experience more fighting and get better at the weapons more quickly as compared to Battle Royal, you can still do most quests in Team Rumble. So quests that might be hard to do in 1 life, well you get a lot more lives in Team Rumble.

They've also been adding bundles in the last month or so of each season that give you a unique skin + accessories as well as giving you like 20-ish levels just for finding the stuff on the map, so that also serves as a way of catching up/getting some of the 100-200 levels out of the way.

Great! Glad to know I’m not too late. I’ve definitely been prioritizing weekly quests, I try to pick one to do every time I do a round.

Should I be stingy with these stars? I want to make sure I have enough to get Darth Vader when I unlock that tier, but for all I know I’ll have so many when I get to him it won’t be an issue.

Where do you find Reality Seeds? I have several quests related to them, but I think I’ve found like 3 across all the rounds I’ve played

You can literally only get Vader at Level 100 with how the content is gated in the battle pass, so spend the stars however you want, you’ll be guaranteed to have enough by the time you can unlock Vader. 5 stars per level.

Reality seeds are found wherever there’s a pink tree on the map, they’re usually located in little purple pods you can break open, where they come slowly flying down. some reality trees (the kinda fungusy looking ethereal trees) have fruit (usually at the top of the tree, color coded to item rarity) and sometimes those drop seeds as well.

it's set up so you'll have exactly enough to get all the rewards by the time you hit 100, then the same goes for the bonus rewards from 101-200. you just get to pick what order you want to get stuff (somewhat) so if you don't think you'll be able to finish the pass but have specific cosmetics you want you can prioritize those (or, say, if an early skin you really want to use so you focus to get that)

Technically you could get him at 90 when the page unlocks if you saved up previous stars, right? But yeah, level 100 gets you enough to unlock everything on the pass

Jason Mewes, aka Jay from "Jay and Silent Bob" primarily does Twitch, but occasionally ports their stuff over to youtube. I rather enjoy him!

I also really like Felicia Day, she streams on Twitch as well but puts a lot of her stuff on YouTube. She plays with Amy Okuda from the Guild a lot, and sometimes they get the whole group together. Lots of fun! They are not exactly try-hards and seem to focus more on having fun.

The matchmaking makes a huge difference in that regard. I've been queuing with an ultra-sweat team recently (I'm just average) and the players at that level are major pains in the rear end. Take any damage and you immediately have a full team rifting on top of you type of poo poo.

It's made me kind of sick of the game actually, like if I'm not playing at my absolute best I'm going to end every game with 0 kills.
