Need to hit level 70 to complete the battlepass and superskins. I think 60 is for all items except superskins.

December 2nd the Fortnite in game live event will happen.

The in game preview text is "Experience a new beginning, featuring an appearance by Eminem. But this isn't a concert... it's The Big Bang!" with this image:

Eminem will be a purchasable skin with 4 variants, 1 glider, 1 pick-axe, 4 back-blings, 2 emotes, and a possible music pack.

The end of chapter event will be
6 phases in total. set aside a chunk of time if you want to participate.
The live event will include aspects of many past live events, a concert, a preview of the Lego mode, a preview of the racing, and a preview of the new map plus some other surprises
Things left not encrypted on accident include something to do with the meteor, the rocketship, and a new jonesy skin



Full versions of the new Lego mode, racing mode, and rhythm mode are in files. The shop has some previews of what is to come.



Lego shop may include virtual Lego sets. It will include parts to customize your mini figure. It is separate from Fortnite main game.
Racing and rhythm may have their own shop too.

The Lego mode will be big. It is a procedurally generated open world minecraft type game.it has weather, seasons, npcs, quests, jobs, pets, crafting, combat. It is going to be a full fledged game by itself it sounds like.

Not a lot about the racing mode out there. May have it's own battlepass. It might connect to rocket league.

Rhythm game mode:

I'm happy the medals seem less demanding this time. I'm on the purple rank again, and I haven't seen any "and win" in the ends of the ranks like last time. It's nice for the extra quarter of a level if I can work it into a match.

The first time I’ve seen one requiring you win was the last part of the 2nd to last medal.

My kid has started playing this and wanted me to try. I’ve played lots of battlefield, PubG, and warzone. Should I just do the regular no build mode or jump straight into ranked no build?

I started playing two days ago and have got a few solo victories already. Are randos in this game that bad? Or is it a feature of tons of elementary age kids playing it? I am in no way great at battle royal games other than the usual of “relaid when you can, use cover”

Also a battle pass question. I checked out the battle pass in the first post. Can you still earn enough v bucks each season to purchase the next without spending more money?

I'm a no-build person but there's some fun in playing builds and killing people by knocking over their monstrously huge construction and sending them plummeting to their death. If you just want to fool around and get the hang of the game or some of the weapons, the Team Rumble mode has automatic respawn.

The battle passes still include enough vBucks to get the next pass, but (I think) this is the first pass where some of them are in the bonus levels. You probably *can* still grind it out but it's a little late in the season; if you want to buy one pass and never buy anything in the game again then I'd wait for next season to start.

200, but usually the last 50-75 is "super levels" so 125-150 to get all the actual good stuff.

This season is 70.

I'm one level away from 70.

I’ve not really enjoyed this one, so I’ve hardly played and I’m just missing 2 of the super skins from the bonus pages. Will easily knock them out in the next week. Found this battle pass very easy for some reason

you can use the ball's reticle to "paint" the tips of some trees and some of the geometry with their own reticle.
also bring back the balls and planes please? there's no gas in the game and by the time i find ANYONE else flying i'm on empty. i just wanna climb out onto my wing, do some repairs, add some fuel, and get back out there.
also up the armor? you're a big target when you can be seen and attacked on an infinite distance

My favourite thing with the planes is getting North By Northwested by someone, while I’m loving plinking up and hammering them, causing them to poo poo the bed and land the plane, making them easy shotgun pickings

Got my first Victory Royale today, FINALLY. It was crowned as well, as I mercked someone and knicked their crown, LOL

Jul 15, 2022
i think the planes are in a great spot balance wise. the gun isn't a huge threat to a good player on the ground, you're vulnerable to fire from the ground, you can't fly for too long, but it's really excellent transportation for the whole party that will secure a strong position easily. that's all they needed to be

Looks like next season/chapter is about visiting other realities or at least how realities are connected.



The bands of light are supposed to be how realities connect and supposedly during the event your character rides them to get to the new modes/different realities.
