Power Chord was the first legendary I bought, really happy to see more of them running around.
Is anyone else getting this error when trying to launch? When I use the Launcher to launch Fortnite, it has a pop-up window for Battleye that says the following: "20:03:59: Starting BattlEye Service... 20:04:11: Failed to start BattlEye Service (0)." Then I get a prompt to Install BattlEye, and then the log reports this: "20:04:11: Installing BattlEye Service... 20:04:14: Successfully installed BattlEye Service. 20:04:25: Failed to start BattlEye Service (0)." And then nothing happens. How can I fix this?
Check in event viewer and see if there's any info on the service start failure. If you can't fix it, append the character "A" (or anything else with an odd ASCII value) to your computer name and restart. Fortnite will use EAC instead.
I wound up deleting both BattlEye folders, updating my GFX card drivers, verifying the game files and restarting and it worked. Not too sure which one it was causing the problem because I know Rainbow Six Siege has problems starting when your drivers aren't up to date but either way figured I'd comment this in case someone else runs into the problem.
Y'know, everyone talks about how you need to "Build to Win" but every single victory I've pulled off this Season has come from strategically not building (Or using Buildings as bait) and playing strict Guerrilla tactics against others who do build. And of course being extremely picky with what fights I choose to enter in to when I can see them from a distance. Yeah sure your sick Wood 1x1/Fortress/Trumpwall might provide you more cover than I have, but it tells me exactly where your head is going to be if you plan on fighting back. Glorious Sniper Master-Race Represent.
But Fortnite is third person, so the person sitting in their base can prefire you and immediately get back to cover.
That's a two-way-street, Tovarisch, especially with Projectile snipers.
but unless you get a ohko on them you are now standing out in the open and they are in a fort and the odds are now stacked against you its okay to enjoy the game a different way but acting like building is suboptimal is kidding yourself
Yeah but you have to guess exactly when and where they'll peek whereas they can just see you from their base.
So they vaulted the Drum Gun out of nowhere...
I mean the alternative would have been vaulting the P90. They had to do something about the SMG Meta.
I was just surprised how it came without warning and on a fairly recent weapon no less. It was easily the most broken weapon in the game considering its rarity. It just had no downsides. I was expecting another nerf of it to be more like a lower rarity version of the LMG, but I didn't expect a complete removal. Still pretty warranted though.
im surprised it came out of fucking nowhere but it was incredibly broken and it would have been hard to balance it without making it too similar to other weapons or making it worthless due to eating medium ammo. removing it for now makes the current meta incredibly good imo.
Friend and I managed to make it out with 2 of the jewels. Does this remove both of them from play or does it make one of them drop on the ground below the van or just re-enter play in some way? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110226/d0e7ca9a-9f0b-4dd7-ab32-666131e17aba/20180911162644_1.jpg
I don't really understand this game. I keep loading it up and trying to get a hang of it but it's extremely off-putting to spend five minutes scrounging for shit only to get insta-killed by some decked-out guy bunny hopping everywhere and throwing down random bits of buildings. Is there something I'm missing or is this all there is to look forward to in the game
Just got my own first Getaway win! We lost one to the storm, but still... https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/970978854176419593/83D42BC62453D8C52C9FE0171B81FF61CE5EB7ED/ Now if only I could get my hands on that Crowbar...
Ill miss out on the crowbar bc of our internet going out
Building is just as important as shooting. You should prioritize getting good at it. Building also makes Fortnite reward aggressive play more than most BRs, so if you're playing passively and scrounging around, you're going to be at a gear disadvantage compared to an alpha gamer who's slaying scrubs and taking their stuff.
You play at the pace you set based on your location. If you want to skip the scrounging for shit part, drop a high traffic area like Retail or Tilted where you grab the closest gun and fight your way out, from there too you should be adequately prepared for any turbo building Wick coming your way. After that, go towards any firefight you see if you want action, or stay away from high traffic areas if you want to be one of the last teams with full health. Killing players is the fastest way to gather loot. Also building is just massively important to the entire game. You don't have to make complex mega structures to win either, just know how to build a rame up or over someone's structure and to cover any spots of vulnerability when sniping or engaging in a firefight.

Finally done with this shit. https://files.catbox.moe/wpmlo4.png
Ill unlock Ragnarok next week, I only have like 2 tiers to go so I'm good I hope can I can do the Getaway challenges before the 18th, I was unable to play this whole week bc the internet at our house went out
Can't believe we're already in week 10. What the hell is gonna happen with the cube?
there is a fucking STARK difference between 8am-10pm and any other time. when i play during the day its easy wins left and right, tons of bush campers, people who can't aim, etc. at night it is mono huge ass build fights and fighting against people who can actually play the game, its insane.
Anyone else think the skins before without the XP grind styles were better? Black Knight, John Wick were far more interesting than the XP grind skins have ever been. Maybe next season might have some cooler styles. I just didn't really dig this seasons' ones.

Got a question regarding PS Plus. I already used my free trial and got the second PS Plus pack. My friend just started his free period too and asked me if I wanted to get the new pack, if I unlink my account and then link my friend's one for the pack, can I get banned because of the system counting it as an abuse? Don't wanna risk or even toying with the possibility of losing my account.
It is widely believed that the cube is going to turn Loot Lake into a volcano. The season ends very soon, can't wait to see what happens!
S5 was very meh for me, so many things that could've been really awesome just seemed to fall short, and skin wise nothing in the shop has interested me for the entire season. Hope S6 steps it up.
yeah the skins have sucked this season. i've had 2k vbucks since week 2 waiting for the female version of drift but it looks like we're not getting it :/ pretty disappointing shop selection and lacklustre storyline compared to s3/s4.
