What is Fortnite BR?
Fortnite Battle Royal is a F2P shooter in which 100 players are dropped on an island and the last man or squad standing wins the game. Players start out with no equipment other than a pickaxe and are left to scavenge the island for weapons to defeat other players with, including rocket launchers, traps, and grenades designed to make your enemies dance or forcefully push them off a building. Fortnite started out as PVE game, but with the recent success of Battle Royale games EPIC decided to create their own spin on it, which over the last few months has become the most popular entry to the BR genre yet.

What are the main differences to PUBG?
-It's FREE!
-Building! You can create your own cover and vantage points to either fortify your position or rush enemies down
-Smaller map and no vehicles, you can reach any circle quickly by just walking (or finding a jump-pad!)
-Actually optimized to run on lower end rigs (or consoles)
-Faster gameplay and shorter games, you will run into people almost constantly unless you actively avoid conflict
-The gunplay utilises bloom (with the exception of shotguns and snipers), which is thankfully due to change in the following months
-Did I mention it's free?

Tips for starting out
-It is recommended you bind the hotkeys for stairs and walls to something more accessible than F1 and F3 (for example Q), as they will be the most common buildings you'll use
-Get used to building before shooting and after getting shot as soon as possible, being able to build quickly is one of the most important assets in the game
-Despite the name, Loot Lake does not actually contain (much) loot. Spare yourself the trouble and don't land there. Additionally, avoid Moisty Mire and Wailing Woods, as they're both locations with the least amount of loot
-While wood might seem like the worst material, it is actually the best for combat. Wooden constructs start with the most amount of HP and finish building quicker than other materials
-Chests will always contain a weapon, so if you land in a highly populated area, consider landing near a chest immediately
-Different rarities influence damage and accuracy, so make sure to always upgrade your loadout

Top 10 of sniper shootout is a blast.

Yep, I love this mode. Make it permanent.

to answer your question @MrConner , purchased coins aren't synced, only earned coins
They capped rocket ammo at 12. Rest in pieces grenade launcher, long live C4, I guess.
They also nerfed the RPGs reload speed
I felt it was slow enough already
Anyone have recommendations for good lower viewer count BR streamers?
Just check out Dakotaz, best Fortnite streamer by far. Not low viewers, but he's a cool dude.
Wtf? Why?
It was incredibly easy to counter rockets and grenades
Good god this final fight LTM is awful
Honestly I just read the description and decided to wait for the next LTM.
I'm so annoyed sniper shootout died for this thing.
Hoping Epic stops teasing 50 v 50 as a permanent gamemode and just get on with it
Why was v3 such a laggy mess anyway? v2 ran flawlessly.
I didn't find v3 to be laggy at all, maybe some spikes here in there when it came out, but after about a week it was fine.
decided fuck it, im running @ 60fps even if my laptop gets rather toasty when i do so (specially in big squad modes, might play those at 30)
It’s horrible. People still refuse to revive. Hope they realize the name of the game is protecting and reviving downed players lmao
They never said that. They said big team modes would be permanent, not 50v50.
50 v 50 is the most popular and fan loved LTM mode and "big team gamemode" so the logical decision would be to make it permanent?

why do epic consistently do the wrong thing?
I just started playing this last week and managed to get 2nd place in solo during, like, my 14th game. That's good, right?
You want to remove bloom if they nerf building? Oof
why not? RNG seriously dilutes the skill involved in aiming and if they're trashing one skill based meta they may as well open the skill ceiling elsewhere.
that said if they trash building this game is nothing more than a really average and generic 3rd person shooter so I'm not sure I'd still play.
If you couldn’t build as much removing bloom would suck. Just remove bloom and keep the building lol
I think a nerf to overall materials you can hold (750 per), with the trade off of 2 or 3x current farming speed would actually be really nice.
that is the ideal scenario. lets just hope they don't ruin it too much.
Reddit's reaction to this has been nothing short of embarassing. They only announced that we can expect more balancing soon, and I don't know about you but I've been sick of
Shotgun Royale for the last 7 months. The only implied thing in that entire post was a ressource cap and that was already a stretch, none-the-less a cap would barely be noticable a majority of the time unless it'd be way below 500 for each.
Why not actually fix the weapon design instead of nerfing the mechanic that makes the game stand out?
i'm a massive schmuck
i had been out of fortnite BR since pretty much december until the e3 switch release (played on xbox one, got account locked to xbox one, didn't have an xbox one)
decided to buy battle pass a few days ago, "oh wait the season ends in like 2 weeks", now my goal is to grind enough to get v-bucks to not waste my 10 bucks and then spend more vbux next season
can i do it? it remains to be seen
