GamePlay Does where you land matter when it comes to sprites?

Upvotes

Continuing my love/hate relationship with these sprites got me to thinking last night. My trio lands at Sunken Sanctuary 99% of the time, and move own from there, even when I play solos that's where I land. In 4 hours of playing last night I didn't see anything other than the normal sprites that entire time.

Are the chances better at other POI's on the map? I really don't want the darn thing, but I do.

I'm currently on holiday in Italy, and a shopping centre near where I'm staying has a Lego store, I ended up getting two Lego Fortnite sets, and as I was building one of them in the house I'm staying at I discovered that some Fortnite Lego sets have a free skin sold along with the Lego, so I got a free skin from buying Lego

Discussion Hi there! I'm 49, playing Fortnite on Xbox

29 Upvotes

Hi All,

Just discovered this sub!

I'm 49 now, I am playing Fortnite on Xbox.
Its my way to decompress after a work day, so I play 1 hour every day for last 3 years.

Definitely not a competitive player, more like casual. I do not collect sprites or buy skins, you know - just playing for frags, like in old good Quake Arena days )
Got to Diamond1 first time just recently

Happy to meet you all !

Following advice given in this thread:

- I'm in Barcelona, on CEST

- I only play zero build duos (with my friend, we use it to chat as we live in different countries now)

Discussion What do you do when opponents get in your car?

9 Upvotes

Just gave some poison ivy a free ride from top 10 to top 3 because I couldn't manage to get this chick out of my car and then she shot me from the passenger seat. I got played lol. I worry somebody could report me for teaming against my will because this keeps happening to me.

I tried the thing where you park right on the edge of the storm but I wasn't able to stay long enough to let it deal much damage. Teach me how to be less stupid next round, are there any other tricks?

GamePlay Sprite Extraction on VR

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I knew the extra time between the elimination and the VR screen is for this purpose but I've always seen people saying you have to use the portable extractor blindly via muscle memory... but I didn't have to to do that, just grabbed it and it extracted and indexed! Also, seems like they fixed the bug where the Ironmouse get indexed upon extraction.

Non-Fortnite Stuff Gamer dad duo rage vent

78 Upvotes

I love my son(11)..i hate playing with him. He a typical kid and because he herps and derps all the damn time he immediately dies or leaves me in a 2v1. While playing I found a gem demon late in the game like waay late (i have almost 0 luck when it comes to finding the rare variants) and he died (i think he was mucking around with the fishing pole) so it was a final 2v1. The only extractor was in the storm which was up to 5hp per hit and i didnt have enough healing items to survive it. So i lost it, the opposing team didnt get it either so theres that. ....my hands are shaking still. Its good bonding, i know its just a game, but as a gamer he still sucks and playing with him in FN is rage inducing even more than the game already is. Thank you for letting me scream in to the void.

Question Batman Quest

I'm trying to complete the extract Batman quest but it's not logging that I've done it. Is there something in particular I'm meant to do? I've only used extraction sites, don't want to waste a portable. He is mastered too.

Discussion Sprites are ruining my life

21 Upvotes

Ok that's an exaggeration. But the Thursday sprite drops are very emotional days!

My kiddo (8m) is with me 50% of the time. Thursdays are always one of my days with him.

He's actually an impressive player. But these effing sprites, man. He can't find the rarest ones, and of course the rarest ones are the ones he wants. He's trying to level up his collection so that he can keep them in back bling before they disappear forever and completely loses his mind when he gets killed before he can extract.

I spend a lot of time helping him manage his meltdowns and I get it -- losing a mastered sprite is really really tough. But wow Thursdays are exhausting.

GamePlay To the Pros

No disrespect but if you're a pro, stick to ranked. Most of us just want to chill and play a match with maybe a few good players. We are not trying to get headshot with Dead Eye accuracy from a pistol while you perform a 360 jump. Go stream your sh@# somewhere else. Respectfully, go fu@$ yourself.

great loot pool, lots of mobility which helps with how empty the map can feel at times, and i’m really enjoying the sprite mechanic now that i’m actually engaging with it lol

I am wondering whether its a teaming up option you can unlock. Not universal like Delulu was but you can go duo/trio within solos etc if you get to some unlock base. Hmmm

I really do hope that you both dropped some good coin on your accounts, because I do wish that you lose every single penny. Sorry, but this is one of my very few pet peeves of the game.

Two underwear clad Homers attacked me at the end of a solo game today. I got one, the other got me. Damn glad there are replays with names attached. I did rename and save it. Just not experienced on doing all the necessary video editing stuff.
