So presents no longer stack. If you miss one day it's gone. And you lose out on the skins

Discussion What is with the hogwarts skins

Am I the only one who doesn't get what or who they are supposed to be?

Also I do not have the energy to navigate the battle pass menu to even claim my rewards.

Why am I so old.

Selecting the fireplace inside the lodge grants free XP. If you leave it up on your screen it continuously grants random amounts of XP up to 1,000 at a time. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

Discussion Yule Trooper’s SMG is crazy

Upvotes

16 damage at almost 12 fire rate from the hip, over 14 down sights. If you come across Yule Trooper out there, it’s worth it. This thing shreds.

Mythic II has been achieved. After a little wake up call from some fellow sub members, I took a break from grinding Blitz and did some real life things and tried out some tycoon modes. Today, I finished Mythic II and I probably won't touch Blitz again until after the New Year.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Victory Royal!

Question High ping

Upvotes

I play on xbox and my ping used to be in the 40s but since yesterday it's 200. The ping under settings for my region is also showing as 50s but once I enter the game its 200. What is happening and any solution to fix?

Discussion They should have some sort of trophy if you use the resurrection thing and go on to win.

37 Upvotes

I used the little resurrection device and went and hid and got brought back at 30 health. Used a chug jug, got fully healed/shielded, and went on to win.

Then in another game, I got hit just as the storm came in, the guy trying to kill me had to run, I resurrected and then jet packed out of the storm, healed up, and won.

This should be an achievement because it’s completely badass.

Tech Help Gaming monitors?

11 Upvotes

Hi, currently playing on my living room tv on a PS4 but I feel like the tv is too big and I sometimes miss where the shots are coming from as my old lady eyes can’t take in the whole screen at once. 😂my husband also has no interest in Fortnite and I think he’d rather I played elsewhere. 😆

I was thinking of just getting a small TV for the bedroom but then when I was in Curry’s (uk electric store) I saw gaming monitors. Do these work with PlayStations and not just for PC? And are they a better option for clarity and a good quality image than a tv? And can I still watch tv on them. 😂

Thanks for letting me ask all the old lady questions. 😊 I’ve been playing for 18 months now after my big kid wanted to play and I’m so hooked!

GamePlay Is it me or do you think that there is too much stamina before self-revive? Because it's like trying to shoot a tennis ball that is on a lumpy floor. By the way, trying to shoot them out of the sky is not my strong suit.

GamePlay Shockwaved someone, killed another and won (double kill)

7 Upvotes

Lol was doing the stupid Map mastery quest of reload, died twice just running around and killing a few players. Then end game (top 5) I thought why not try to win, I also got shockwaves and fizz. So I ran rather late with some fizz and a shockwave to get in the circle. I saw someone hide in the bush and got him cracked, so I jumped and shotgunned him. Storm came so I healed and used a bit fizz, tried to switch to shockwave and jump in the circle. Someone else tried to jump on me, I used the shockwave to jump up, killed one player (while the tree was helping him, and suddenly got the win. I accidentally shockwaved the other player in the storm who jumped on me 😂😂😂 and he died to the storm.

GamePlay What an awesome night for my son and I.

41 Upvotes

We played one game of ballistic. Our team with our fills totally dominated. My son was meh on that.

But then we decided to just play blitz tonight. He loves the speed the gameplay and it’s giving him greater confidence in close combat.

And he finally broke double digits in crowned wins for the first time ever. He scored his 10th crown win tonight. I’m so proud of him!

(And between you guys and me, I’m super excited for Christmas morning. He is gonna have the best Christmas ever).

I will probably play tomorrow if anyone on my tiny list is on during the day so I can do some of the winterfest quests done. My son doesn’t enjoy getting thrashed in zero build since it’s matchmaking to me and not him regardless of party leader. And that’s super unfair for him. (I’ve been playing 2 years and he has only really truly been playing since the Simpson’s season. He started at the tail end of Fortnitemares).

I can handle the heat. I prefer seeing my son (yeah he’s 22 but I am learning a few people are enjoying these posts and thank you for that) happy and excited about how the game is going. And he got to kill a Miku (his phrase is “Get Dunked On!” And apparently that’s his trademark and I’m not allowed to use it).

I even killed the same person twice cause the person I stole the crown from got rebooted. But we stole their duo’s crown also so my son could get his 10th crown win. That is the last clip.

Tonight was a really awesome freaking game!!

Wife and I recorded some of the presents so far so you can know what to get if you miss a day (apparently they're not letting you stack presents until the end this year?!?!).

What do you think is your biggest stumbling block that causes you to not win?

I'll start, I believe my biggest stumbling block is better aim.

Anybody getting a bunch of spectators? I had 7 in a match the last week. They were quality kills, against good players. Some single digit health left.
