Is there a good place to look at the difference in the weapons? I just started playing and I don't get the difference between say the SMG and the Submachine Gun or the Assault Rifle and Flapjack Rifle or whatever.

there's a wiki that does include objective stuff (damage by rarity, fire rate, reload) but doesn't have any numbers on spread/bloom.

like the submachine gun vs combat smg you can see in the wiki entries
https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Submachine_Gun
https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Combat_SMG

Combat SMG does 1 more damage at each rarity, has 2 more bullets in its magazine, and fires 12 rounds per second compared to the Submachine Gun's 11. However the reload time is roughly 0.3 seconds slower than the submachine gun, and there's much more recoil. I don't know offhand how the bloom works between the two.

To clarify for anyone who might not know, recoil affects where your cursor is positioned. Bloom is a cone starting from your center point centered on your aim, and a shot will randomly shoot through one point in that cone; the cone size goes up (blooms) as you continue firing and the amount of that is different for each gun. Some guns (mostly rifles and pistols) have first-shot accuracy, which means if you are standing still long enough without shooting, the first shot will not be affected by bloom and instead is perfectly aligned with your aim.

Very informative, thanks!

Epic does nerf XP maps if they enter their radar. UEFN maps might still be broken, but regular ones have been paying out fine (the ones I have bookmarked, anyway)

3190-3555-5468

This bot BR map was broken for weeks but recently back to paying out [3k per bot kill and 8k for storm phase survival). Not the quickest map I have but it’s pretty chill and don’t have to memorize 12 different xp buttons to hit.

Thanks for this map! I just checked it out and jumped a couple stages after one round. Owns.

I still think the current map was planned out months ago with the mobility of the 3-slash katana in mind for scaling all of the stupid slopes and vertical walls that the storm circle pushes up against. That thing just made getting around the world fluid.

Also the speed of the storm circle still feels out of pace with the mobility options and terrain for me personally, so I play a lot less. The witch's broom is nice for this at least.

I wish the burglary mansions weren't on the edges of the map. You basically get one shot with them when the game starts and then they're lost to the storm before you can get to another one or even super load up to try one. Or maybe I just suck.

I'm probably not good enough at the game for the weird glitches in racing to actually matter as much to my experience, but what I HAVE noticed is that wow, the quest completion just, doesn't work very well. Some of them seem entirely arbitrary on whether completing the objective counts or not, and some of them are maybe too generous. I can't help but think that the quest to pass other cars while turboing probably isn't meant to be immediately cleared by the boost you get at the start of the race.

I never know what quest popped because I can't take my eyes off the track to check the blue box pop-up. I'm not a very good driver.

the wings make me want an offline fortnite. just a big map to wander and gently caress up bots with different items.

i love stealing cars. so many times i've had my car shot up, so i turn around and drive towards some guy who hides and prepares to fight...only to have me steal their car and drive off laughing.

i just played a game where i winged out of the storm, into the car with someone, healed myself in their car as they drove, they panicked and jumped to a different seat so i jumped into the driver's seat, and we just drove for a bit until i found them another car they could take. then i just drove off honking a goodbye.
later i saved them from an enemy who was behind them and they killed me with lightning to win the game.
sometimes the real fortnite is the not quite enemies we made along the way.

A couple times I've been in a car and someone else has jumped in the passenger seat and then attempt to shoot me as I'm driving so I speed up and jump out right before the car and the other guy go sailing over a cliff and it might be the most fun I've ever had in my life.
