Maybe I won too much at the start of the season, (though I'm only sitting on 12 crowns but I feel like I'm still being thrown in sweaty lobby's) but it's been drat near unplayable lately. Strongly dislike the gun meta. It was so good right at the start, and now the last few tweaks have made it off. Too many snipers. The second sniper round thing needs to go. A lot of the arguments are terrible, but the good ones you burn gold to get. Vaults gold amount should be upped. A green combat shotgun can beat a purple pump.

Glad Zelda is coming out in two weeks so I can ignore the rest of the season. (I just hit 100 yesterday, and the extra skin variants don't interest me as much).

Creative map 2810-9612-6569v14 is a super fun no build free for all. fun guns + great combat practice

Also you rack up tons of xp from UEFN maps now, so can just finesse people with pump + flint knock for a while in this map and get like 200k xp

Mine still start pretty quick like they always have. But I've never played build mode to compare to. So I might just be used to lobbies taking ~30 seconds to start. :shrug:

It’s been a little better lately since they made the storm adjust to the number of people left.

I agree about the current meta. I disagree about the sniper perk though. I really like the heavy sniper.

Yeah the sniper perk is so specific that it seems fair. It's not like the medium ammo clip + DMR on top of every other assault rifle

It feels like a cracked window into their future monetization plans for the game. At least you can still pay for the 'mini battlepass' with Itchy and Scratchy bux, for now.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I think an "old Luke Skywalker" skin would be awesome. Even just him showing up as an NPC instead of Anakin.

Other than that, the premium skins aren't worth the 1000 v-bucks. 🤷‍♂️

I don't play that much fartnite anymore but I do have a stack of about 2000 vbux to buy the pass if I'm playing when it comes out and I feel p. sure this is to target folks who sit on their vbux for passes.

It is a monetization of the already used free mini battle pass they have done for events in the past. They just added a new premium tier. It soaks up some of the crew pack v-bucks.

Had a match where just a minute or so after landing, a guy was clipping himself into a boulder to snipe me. I could hit his leg sticking out, but it didn't count most of the time. His over shield would regen anything I did anyway. So I ran up to him, and of course the harvesting tool and point blank sub machine gun fire wouldn't make contact through the boulder shielding his hit box. I know it was intentional, because after I died, he sank back in like Homer in a bush. This chapter just gets better and better :thumbsup:

I don't know how to save footage on PC. I just play to goof off, so I didn't even think of it until I was already back in the lobby. I did report it. But I doubt they'll care.

The only one that was really a pain was opening the republic chest since doing so was basically a suicide mission.

I finished the whole lot in a few hours.


E: I just realized you probably meant the quests aren’t all available right now.

Last patch storm was less than of a threat than a mild sunburn and now if you want to keep up with the rapidly changing final circles you need a sword or ODM. And dunno what's up with drop rates, but we're not always finding enough mobility items for everyone anymore and are resorting to the blue swords more and more often.

But I can throw rocks at people every 10 seconds, which is loving awesome when I get that power.

I haven't played much but I still haven't finished the Eren quests becuase finding the 3D Movement Gear and then hitting the targets around the map is... really rare.

But honestly if I miss out on Eren's stuff I won't really be too upset. Possibly the most mid character they could have put in the pass.

iirc, each of the areas with the wooden titans have a chest that drops the gear. (I could be wrong, so somebody correct me if so.)

I lucked out with drops and circles the other day and finally knocked that one out. Now I just have to land thunder spears to get a skin I’ll probably never use

I've seen the chests in a few of the small fort looking structures around the map. And all of those chests I opened to day had both AoT weapons in them. Which didn't seem to be the case when I kept going straight for the basement chest a while back. It's probably just all rng though.

They spawn all over the map, towers are guaranteed, and a lot of the pagodas in the mega city biome have them too (also the attic entryway at the mansion outside the farm). Should be pretty easy to knock out those challenges now since it's been a couple weeks and thunder spears got a buff.
