After all these years, if anyone still thinks the seasonal "story" bits matter in any way whatsoever, then lol. Season after season they just drop whatever was happening and start over with something else. Nothing ever pays off. Nothing matters. Please spend more.

It didn't used to be like that and only started with chapter 4 season 1 which is the last chapter Donald mustard was really hands on with.

This current chapter should be the first with the new guy at the helm. We will see if he brings back the story.

"Lore" stuff used to hint st coming seasons too, but again that stopped after chapter 4 season 1.

Official Fortnite canon is that the little hovering r2d2 ports you out when you get eliminated to circumvent ratings regarding blood because you're Jonesy being forced to constantly battle in endless simulations a la the Doom Slayer.

The lore is actually extremely rewarding if you take the time to understand it which clearly you lot of chucklefucks havent. Maybe show the writers some respect and learn a thing or two about the seven mkay?

Mostly I'm impressed they can do those lil environmental story bits on the map, I think that stuff's really neat and takes alot of team coordination to pull off on the dev side I imagine.

Like if I was a dev on this game I'd be delighted anytime somebody notices any of those tiny map tweaks.

they add so much! sometime i like wandering around because i'll stumble on something cool.
this season is "barrel wife" and the wolf howls in rebel's roost and the ducks scattered around the map, i think there were a few more...
i haven't found anything interactive yet like last season's beach shells.

though they NEVER god damned explained the secret hatch in the woods from spooky woods or whatever, i would visit that thing ever day to see if it opened. they even brought it back in the fortnite origins thing and STILL never explained it

also: the gong makes a gong noise when you hit it with your tool but the piano doesn't make a piano noise? for shame!!

Fortnite’s story IS the collabs at this point, which sounds like an absolute nightmare to manage for a writer so why even bother hiring one. It’s like trying to set a story inside a giant Toys R Us.

The 3 things I've likes from the environmental stuff are the society members being crossed off as they are eliminated as the season goes on, the cave with the coral Buddies starting to change, and the Glacier melting.

I'm real curious what the 3rd and final update will bring. Supposedly more snow is supposed to melt.

The TMNT items are cool except they are shittier kinetic swords. Idk why they increased the wind-up and lowered the distance. Just reskinning and porting the swords would have everyone saying "PEAK".

Edit: I hope we get a 3rd wave of skins with bebop, rocksteady, Casey Jones, Baxter stockman, and krang's robosuit. TMNT are the perfect hosed guys for fortnite.

The last couple of Battlepass characters have been pretty dull due to their lack of freaks. The Renzo season was the last one I really liked.
