The minigun is good for scattering people. A lot of teams will simply scatter when you're firing at them with it. C4 is fun as poo poo to lay traps with, especially when you know you're being followed. I've also used it very well many times as a distraction, I'm running around to the left side of your fort while your team is rushing towards the right side where I just set off some explosives. Pistols? I will destroy you with a hand cannon from miles away. I'm waiting for remote control car bombs to really start some annoying poo poo.

Withnail posted:why is this game so loving frustrating? In any mode I can crack the top ten by being cautious, sneaking, and not shooting people from 500 miles away. I've taken out entire teams by myself by just not running at them full tilt shooting a shotgun which is, apparently, a strategy no one else has thought of. I just don't have the reflexes for the end game though. With a good team to compensate we always get first place but I always get shot by some constantly jumping guy who has memorized shot damage ratios runs up behind me putting me in 9th place. I got frustrated last game and just set up a trap in the ditch, killed NINE guys (before Thanos invaded and killed me with hand power before I could even turn to face him). It was cheap but I felt better. Also don't join stranger's firefight, just wait for them to finish and mop up. I mean come on. I hate pubbie teams.

John Murdoch posted:IME, posthumous kills don't increment challenges, sadly. I would've finished explosive kills a lot sooner that way. What I'd really like is to force a base assault by giving one team a headstart on building and the other starting further away. Or a "fog" mode where visibility is reduced so sniping and zerg rushing is inadvisable. Something that plays to my strengths.

Autism Sneaks posted:I couldn't exactly figure out what it was last season that left so many 50v50 games decided early in the match, but this season it's definitely whichever side has the most people dicking around in golf carts instead of moving towards the eye loses I can't tell you how many games I've stood and rained hell from above on the other team only to be flanked by a squad because everyone else on my team ran off in random directions instead of watching my back (I'm poo poo in close fighting so I'm going to die if you run up to me). When I spot a sniper team on my side I'll always stay to watch their backs. Most of my kills are people running up behind a small base of my team not expecting opposition. Stand a little to the right or left and don't open fire right away and no one will ever see you until it's too late. A full squad with mics working together and communicating can beat most anything. Last game my squad took the high ground and held off four other full teams until they died in the storm. And there's only one real use for the ATK: distraction. NO ONE can resist shooting at it, drive into the center of the largest gun battle and power slide in circles: the ENTIRE enemy team will start firing at you while getting shot by your team. Get ready to build when it gets destroyed if you can't find a partner to do your building. I mean there are other ways to play the game than an endless Zerg rush towards the other team is all I'm saying.

Super Rad posted:Smoke nades are strong in BRs where you might end up with a cover deficiency when you need to rotate. Between spam building, rifting, launch pads and bouncers I think fortnite gives you enough ways to escape being pinned as it is. Now if all grenades had their own dedicated slot... They do need a way to launch smoke and stink grenades. My question is if they have all the info on how much items are used and where people go on the map and all that info why do revolvers still exist? I don't think I've ever used one or had one used on me. Also I miss the swamp

Last night I got ambushed by a team, I quickly built a few walls and a platform, threw down a jump pad and a remote explosive and jumped away. I landed on the other side of a tree and hit the explosive which downed two of the four (the rest of my team had wandered off on their own, they just grabbed a cart and drove off). I then just threw my entire stock of explosives at the little building the survivors built. Later on I fired a rocket launcher at a wall directly in front of me. I then got high and played counting coup. I tagged 15 people before the 16th finally killed me. Players PANICKING when you hit them with a single shot is hilarious, and if you can steal their golf cart while they're looting and get away clean?  Orange Sunshine posted:Yes, that's exactly what I said. You hit the nail square on the head there. If only there were some way in this game for me to team up with people, then I'd do better. If only.

Finally got my second sniper kill in the cheapest way possible. some person started shooting me inside the storm (we both could have made it) so I turned around and started sniping, finally downed them under the lake. I had no way of finding them. Then it was a mad dash to the circle where they died a half second before I did which still gave me the kill but god dammit the name of this game should be "Hilariously Dickish".

A Bakers Cousin posted:Just want to share a funny death. Dropped into tilted and landed on the clock tower with someone else. We battled it out and I killed him in a pick axe fight. Someone dropped on the apartment next door and took shots at me but I was able to hide and use bandages from the chest in the clock tower. I'm not sure exactly what someone used but when I busted the floor out someone had basically destroyed the whole tower underneath me so I fell to my death. A Man and his Hog posted:I’ll never get a sniper kill. I’ve accepted this. But really: look for the largest group of your team and stay a bit to the side your team dropped from and wait until the bulk of them hits a bulk of bad guys. Using a cart to get in position works great. *has anyone checked on the real heads?

dmboogie posted:any of you guys got any good stories about making impromptu truces with other players in solo? Dropped into Twisted on a lark and enemy got to chest before me but didn't notice me behind him. When he busted through the floor and dropped to the second level he looked up and saw me. I started doing a dance and he, after a second, dropped a gun. I picked it up and we both chopped out the sides and ran in opposite directions. Much respect. One time I dropped into the desert town and spotted what was obviously a very young player just kind of hopping around and looking at stuff. I watched him for a bit and when he spotted me he opened fire very very badly. I had full health and shields so I let him hit me a bunch before I retired him. I let my 5 year old nephew wander about in empty areas sometimes so I'm betting that's what was going on. When swamp was still around me and a pubbie landed their only to find two other guys. We exchanged a few cover shots before another guy opened fire on them in the middle of our shoot out. I swear one of them looked at me for a second before we both turned and just ended the new guy. So the four of us danced a bunch together, exchanged some health and shield, and ran off in different directions. About a minute later I'm watching a full squad in the distance when my teammate and both of the guys from the other team just casually run over to me, see the other squad, and we all rush together. Didn't survive, but I maintain that the friendships we made along the way were the real prize. Also rift-to-go will work on enemies too. Sometimes I like to just kidnap someone from the other teams. I will say I want the car physics to go back to normal, being bounced to hell by a single shot makes it hard to escape. Mongoose posted:I did a lot of chiller experiments in playground yesterday.

Mongoose posted:I didn't like Disco domination when I tried it, but watching pros put up 91 kills in one game there has been cool. Like you said, the basic strategy is drop somewhere out of the way with a lot of chests (pueblo village etc.), loot up the best possible weapons for group fights (scar, heavy shotgun, silenced scar) then kill yourself and fly to the center circle. Get a highground spot, hang out there killing as many people as possible. I've literally played entire matches where I took a dance floor, and then just waited the time out because no one on the other team even tried to attack it. Similarly EVERY other game is me trying to capture one floor while two people simply surround and end me while 49 other teammates are trying to capture the center dance floor. For god's sake spread out a little! My entire team dying over and over for the center floor while the enemy sends a single player over to capture the other three.

Just throw a bunch of grenades and switch to a gun before they go off. You get 10 grenades to a slot, use 'em. As a bonus, with so few people actually doing this, I kill every person who tries to turtle up. Last night (in between frustrating as gently caress rounds with morons who use their mic ONLY to announce what guns they've found and then wordlessly wander away from the squad*) I was fighting a guy in a little fort who kept building, I just threw grenades and one blew up the wall and the second just went right into the fort before he could build the wall so he walled himself in with a grenade. After that he started panicking and I easily picked him off as he tried to escape. *I seriously need to squad up with capable people, 90% of the time is little kids screaming about my voice or teens telling me to shut the gently caress up after I tell them I've spotted an enemy. God dammit what is with all my page snipes?? I'm not interesting enough to top a page.

araeris posted:Came back to Fortnite yesterday when I heard there were planes. Incredibly, I have not yet been shot while on a zipline. Got a Royale today for my first umbrella since season 2. Yeah the new additions really thinned out the heat map, now people land a little more higgilty piggilty to see new stuff or use a favorite gadget. And there are big white and red crosses that make a great impromptu alt if you have too much heat on your favorite spot. It feels faster paced and less crowded. Also I gotta ask: how many are "too many" for the Fortnite two factor sign in messages? I get like 3-4 a day and 2-3 on top of that every time I play.

I landed in Close Encounters. The circle was as far away as possible and I could not find a single jetpack or balloon pack so I just ran to the circle avoiding everyone. Eventually I found a balloon pack with a single balloon left. I used that final balloon to hop into dusty divot. Where the sword guy was. I threw 13 pieces of dynamite and hopped around like an idiot before finally killing him. I picked up the sword. Was shot with a shotgun. I swung the sword once. The shotgun guy killed me. gently caress this game.

If they sprinkle a bunch of "mythic" weapons around the map I'd like that, make a couple mobile. Honestly the only things I really want for this game is a way to communicate with other players, try to set up a temporary alliance. Tag someone and if they agree you're a team, put alliances on a timer, your entire strategy changes mid game and people with the sword are less safe. Also I'm totally going to start a Battle Royale game with my new company, "Mythic", and the highest tier weapons will be "epic".
