Really hoping they fix the sprinting bug and the no reticle bug soon.

Those have been there since day one of the new chapter

I’m only salty because I got a second place finish last night because I couldn’t get to cover fast enough without sprinting.

Although I will say I got to second place without a reticle on the red eye AR :dukedog:

I find it kind of hilarious that if you have the no sprinting bug and you die and get resurrected it fixes the no sprinting but then you lose the red dot instead, seemingly consistently for both of those.

Got a match where I both had no sprint and no red dot. Came in 5th which I thought was good.

This could just be a mode.

The best random bug rn is the one where you can’t reload so you have to dump weapons after unloading a clip.

For anyone who plays save the world (looking at MarcusSA especially):



Free 'smorg' llama today in addition to the two free Christmas week llamas, it's one legendary of your choice between two items for each category (survivor, hero, weapon, trap etc). So even if you don't play STW much it's worth getting this if you ever plan to.

Edit: To restate: you're also getting two free basic loot llamas every day, so keep checking the store. They may even do more of the big expensive free llamas, not sure though.

Thanks! STW is actually really fun and good. It also gives a boat load of BP exp.

My biggest gripe is that some of the systems aren’t explained that well and it throws a lot at you.

Maybe someone has some advice on my little gently caress up. My son and I have been playing Fortnite on the same account during his time here at my place. Obviously the little man has invested a ton of time and he's got a ton of skins he likes.

Well, his mom got him an xbox series s today and I thought it'd be easy to just unlink it from mine and link to his old one. Well, that doesn't seem possible/allowed by the TOC. I guess to prevent people selling or doing exactly what I'm doing? (I have not unlinked from mine)

I'll probably cross post this to the xbox thread but the only solution I can think of is signing in with my gamertag on his Series S? And make his the main console?

(I have my account linked to my PS5 as well)

makes me wonder if this'll become more of an issue as more adult gamers have kids that start off on their parents accounts before wanting to hop off. like I think if I ever lost my account info for ff14 I'd need my mom's info cause the account's the same as the one I signed up for ff11 under her name way back when.

anyway check out these sick mind games

I ended up making my son's new xbox the home console for his mom's place. Then I went and made a new Epic account on my PC so I can play with him when he'd like to.

Well, we won our first game together. I can't quite explain what a nice feeling it is. Little dude is 8 years old. He's gotten wins before but this is the first game we played together on the same team. I don't think we'll ever forget this.

Pet backpacks were a gimmick for the OG backpack season. They haven't released many or even brought back most.

So there's 2 weekly quests for hunting wildlife and I used to see animals all over the map, now I never see any. This is gonna be a huge hassle.

They also added a quest for eating slapberries, running into bushes, or running into leaf piles. This barely works. For every 6 slap berries I eat I only get credit for one. Same with bushes and leaves.

And parkour doesn't work at all anymore.

I was getting credit for all of the piles but the counter only showed every so often.

The wildlife one wasn't too bad but getting that fuckin frog was annoying.

I probably have Merry Munchkin in my loadout about half the year. He screams at the top of his lungs when you jump out of the bus and apparently he's loud enough that my fill squadmates hear him sometimes and have no idea what's happening.

None of the other pets I have really impress me (Baby Yoda takes up like half the screen iirc) but Munchkin has a bunch of fun animations and a lot of personality.

Twelve kills on my 30fps potato console on the wrong server against people that could have up to 120fps and eight times my pixel count; feels good man:

I’m kinda bummed there wasn’t just “Winterfest Quests” on their own, why did they have to be rolled into Weekly Quests, especially since it was only up for 2 weeks, and then this last week there seems to be none? Kind of a stinker, imo.
I get it’s to pump up weekly engagement but holy moly it’s not great.

uzi's got a 33 bullet mag with a 2.7-2.2s reload depending on quality, twin mag has 20 bullets but every odd reload is 1.3s vs 2.3 normally.

This weeks quests weren't too bad tbh.

I did have to look up how to travel with the ore though because it didn't work when I tried it on my own. Its a bit dumb you need to point the sound waves up because if you travel straight it still moves.

I should hit 150 on the BP today so I can just chill out for the rest of the season because I don't care about the rest of the skins tbh.

for sure, that tac pistol owns. first-shot accuracy, 2x headshots (the SMGs are 1.5x), with augments it's got a bigger mag and an always-faster reload than the twin mag. and if you have the tactical ar from that augment it gets the reload bonus too since it uses light ammo
