I hope they do more with the Metal Gear Collab then they did with TMNT... I've heard rumors that TMNT was going to be bigger, but something fell through.

Wouldn't mind there being other Metal Gear skins besides Snake, they have a lot to choose from.

I gotta wonder when they're going to actually make the porta potty chute things actually functional again. there's been several spots with them around the map for months but you can't interact with them despite them having blatant entry and exit points. There's a cave full of chests and the little coral buddy guys that's slightly hidden on the east side of the map that's a bit of a pain getting in and out of due to this. Practically nobody goes there as a result though so I tend to check it from time to time.
Man, fuck that cave lol. Glad there's a way in and out now, because I've died too many times with another squad coming in while we're were trying to leave. I should really start going off the beaten path, but my regular squadmates are bunch of niggers and loot whores who bitch any time we go anywhere not named. Glad they're getting extra cucked with the sniper nerfs, because fuck that gay ass shit.

  • The Enforcer AR has received a slight increase in bullet speed, damage, and headshot damage (and a reduction in bullet drop). This AR was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options.
  • The Reaper Sniper Rifle has received a slight reduction in bullet speed (and an increase in bullet drop), as many Reaper snipes were too easy to land with little counterplay.
  • The Hyper SMG has received an increase in overall accuracy via tightened bullet spread. Like the Enforcer AR, this SMG was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options.
  • The Ballistic Shield has received a slight decrease in damage required to stagger the holder. This loadout option was often too powerful compared to others, especially in Zero Build.
  • Storm circle speed, sprint speed, and Energy regeneration have been reverted to match the same speed from Chapter 4. These reverted speeds better fit the current ideal pace of Fortnite BR.

Anyone else seen the new skins they apparently added in this update?


For the people that don't want to look; we are getting MGS2 Raiden, Shredder, three bird skins, a Society swordsman, a guy that's apparently from Rocket League(?), and some others. What do you guys think?
I wasn't expecting the mad lads to make a Quiet skin, but I'm surprised we're not getting a Meryl. Red head in a tank top with big boobs seems like easy money for Epic.

I think the Rocket League guy might be another reward for something Rocket Racing related.. Next month's crew skin is in that, and it looks okay. I just saw Raiden on twitter, but something about Shredder gets me thinking that he'll end up being the big bad for the season.

Just a heads up, the EMP cloak has the same effects as a shield breaker when uncloaking. Basically an infinite gold generator, if you have enough time.

April's been back for a while the last few days as an NPC on the map, and "leaked" previews of both raiden and shredder came out about the same time. Raiden's in the shop right now but shredder is nowhere to be seen yet. The design that showed seemed to be a super shredder so I kinda hope there's a more traditional variant too. The crossover that bothers me due to it seemingly being intended as more a while back was the Gi. joe one. They only had snake eyes and nobody else, despite so many of pre-existing fortnite character designs being Gi joe references. One thing I've noticed that's been bugging me is they don't seem to bundle items in the shop anymore that often unless it's some collab thing., and now with the raiden thing the only option is the bundle. Really funny how they seem to have rushed out the raiden stuff post leak to the point his weapon skin is just titled "raiden skin" instead of something related to mgs2.

The last few times I've booted up the game since the recent update the sound becomes a crunchy shitheap on occasion during gameplay and my ears hurt like hell afterwards. I don't know what the fuck causes this and it's never happened before this update where they implemented "bug fixes" lmao.

Would absolutely love a Big Boss skin with a Venom variant. Probably really unlikely and I should just be glad they put Solid in. That is of course unless they’re just going to be done with this collab immediately after this battle pass.
 
Kinda surprised they just randomly dropped Erine the Giant Chicken last night, always wondered why the TV back bling showed him and peter fighting when there was nothing to reference it before.

I have no idea what the titan hand thing was about. I logged on about ten minutes before the chest dropped, and it ended up being in the storm when it dropped. Now some demons are spewing out of it, but they don't actually do anything. Hmmm.

Season ends this Thursday, so if you still have some grinding to do, get it done ASAP.

It's to get people interested in playing before the new season. Next season is going to be heavily Greek Mythology themed, and Odyssey (The NPC at Ruined Reels near the Giant Hand) is going to be a new skin (More then likely he'll be the starter BP Skin/Protagonist of next season)

I've heard a lot of rumors and what not about next season, something about the Bosses being more powerful, able to disable using weapons, and that the big gimmick is going to be elemental themed powers. Problem is there's actually very few evidence for anything and because of the play ground rumor nature of Fortnite not to mention the countless faggots peddling their dumb ideas,

This is one of the skins I know for sure will be in the next season, as the "Mosaic Snapshot" quests have you building a mosaic of a three headed canine, probably this guy.
I'll also leave a couple more skin concepts that might be in next season (Shop or BP). These are all "Survey Skins" which I got from Fortnite.GG

There are even more, but these are the ones I grabbed that I feel fit the most Greek/Current Map themed. I do honestly like a lot of the concept skins just in general, as it's always to see more interesting skins in game instead of the same meta-skins "getting Griddy".

Oh my god it's so weird to see her like this.
 
There are some pretty good looking skins this season. Aphrodite is basically Mercy from Overwatch. Artemis is also pretty spiffy.

New items are... interesting. The wings are going to make squads a nightmare. The lightning feels weak, but I did manage to kill a bot with it.

I wasn't feeling season 1, but I'm cautiously optimistic for this season. Good movement is my #1 priority, so if the wings don't get nerfed (spoiler: they will), it seems like it'll be a pretty fun, hectic season.

I think the skins are a bit mid TBH. I was hoping to see some more interesting designs. Medusa has that stupid "shaved side" haircut and the only one that I like is Poseidon. I'm sure I'll change my mind once I see the "Super Styles" in about 20 or so days.

I do however, love the new weapons, but am still pissed to see the hammer pump still in the game. New mods are nice, but they've nerfed them without having a reliable work bench to go modify. I like the idea of Bunkers, but in practice, I'm constantly finding them opening up in the storm and with Health items being unreliable to find since Mending Machines are hard to find. Ammo is much more plentiful, now that weapon vending machines are back along with the Mystery ones.

I am very thankful that they've added other activities for "Bounty Boards" because just doing Bounties was kinda boring. My favorite is driving a rifted vehicle in because free car and easy money. I do like the boss fights being more classic styled boss fights, and not triggered by accidently walking in on the boss blowing their noise like before.

Shop still sucks, please for the love of God, stop trying to shove fucking Lego Fortnite down our throats. You have over a 1000 different skins to sell me, I want to see some fucking verity. Bonus points for actually trying to sell fucking Virtual Lego Sets on the cash shop. 1600 for a set? No thanks, try 100 or 200 and then MAYBE I'll be interested. God I hope we get a decent collab other then fucking Kora of all things. When I heard rumors of Avatar being in the game, I was hoping for more classic Last Airbender not the fucking dyke reboot/continuation that fucking NEETS were obsessed with ten years ago.

Still talking about Lego Fortnite, I see that they're adding some interesting things into it, however I am still not going to waste my time on a survival game. They did release two stand alone Lego game modes, an obby and some don't fall in the water game, so I'm curious if they'll open that up to the public to design their own Lego gamemode, but I have a feeling it'll end up like most of the other player created game modes on the platform.

Rocket Racing... What to say.. It's still good and improving, liking that they're adding new cars and what not and the cross purchase with rocket league is very nice if you just happen to own one of the cars they port over. Speedrun mode is good in sort bursts, but has a Trackmania feeling to it. Ranking still takes far, far, far too long to progress. If I get first, I expect a major jump in my progress. If they just cut out the 2 & 3 of the regular ranking then it'll be a lot better.

Music Festival. Lady Gaga looks like a fucking man, and I was debating about posting a "Revoultion 60" joke but decided against it. They're adding more songs almost every week at this point, and it's also nice that they'll randomly play on the radio in other game modes. My suggestion: Put more "older" tracks into the game and avoid putting whatever trendy crap they push out that they call music.

No freaking clue what they're going to do for Season 3 though. Still a bit miffed that they took away two of my favorite areas, Ritzy Rivera and Hazy Hillside, but I'm thinking that Snooty Shores and Classy Courts will be going as well.

The average Fortnite player is like 17 years old. I would not hold my breath waiting for any dad rock bands like Blink-182 or Creed.
 
Imma be honest once palworld came i completely forgot about fortnite lego, I only played it because they gave some stuff for free if you completed some challenges.

I mean.. They already added Blink-182 songs.. But I was thinking some more well known Guitar Hero/Rockband type tracks.

I'm sure ((they)) are charging an arm and a leg to license anything good.
 
Came back for the Greek mythology, Zeus looks badass, one of the only times I’ve grinded a battle pass for a “Fortnite original character” and not a crossover.

Interesting that there are no niggers or trannies in the battle pass, it’s a welcome step forward.
 
You can now use UEFN for both Lego and Rocket Racing creating, with Fall Guys in May.

They also say that Fortnite seasons will be made using UEFN by the end of 2025.

I don't know how I feel about the last statement of everything literally being built by UEFN. The Fortnite Community hasn't done anything interesting that I've seen with it, but I am thinking that they're trying to streamline content creation for Epic themselves. Hope to see something cool come of all this, but I'm thinking that it's just going to be more copy and paste like games with clickbaity AI generated thumbnails.
 
Fortnite made a new update last week and they've removed rarities from skins, thus no more legendary, epic, rare, uncommon skins now. This makes sorting out skins in the already poorly made Locker UI even more of a hassle if you're trying to find a skin but you can't think of the name but only that it's a uncommon skin.
this also is being used to jack the price of skins up now, typically a epic skin would cost at least 1,500 Vbucks or 1,700 if it comes with a harvesting tool, now they're charging 2000 vbucks (basically 20$ per skin) for the new avatar skins when they're epic rarity in the API.
The community response to this was what you'd expect, epic made a response to the feedback.
