We were trying to max out my Sprite so I went off to loot. I came back expecting a fight..instead, my duo had built a giant heart. I still have no idea how nobody shot him while he was doing this. ❤️😂
I know this is SUCH a longshot but I need to ask -- so, I bought the Marigold quest pack to get the V-Bucks and thought the skin was cool (I've always liked the Midas gold mechanics). Well, as I was looking at the skin closer, it hit me that she looks EXTREMELY close, in fact almost identical, to someone from my past who was very, very abusive. To the point that every time I go through my locker and pass by the skin, I feel genuinely nauseous and panicked. And I know that may seem really stupid, it's just a Fortnite skin that's literally animated and cannot actually hurt me, but I seriously cannot stand seeing the skin now.
I tried reaching out to support when I first bought it before I'd claimed any V-Bucks from the quest, hoping it could be returned, but since it's got a built-in quest I can't. And I know there's probably not a way to hide it or get it out of my locker, but legitimately I'd almost pay another $18 just to have it removed from my locker.
EDIT: Wow y'all are fast -- thank you guys for bringing the archive feature to my attention! I'd somehow never seen that before but I've done it now and can't see her unless I intentionally look through archived skins. Didn't know this was a thing before now but thank y'all for the help 🥲🫶💕
I’ve been watching a lot of high-level Fortnite lately, especially Solo Cash Cups, trying to learn from the best players.
While watching one of Peterbot’s recent Cash Cup games, I noticed something that genuinely made me stop and replay it over and over. I clipped the 22-second moment and attached it here.
I’m not accusing Peterbot of cheating, so please don’t turn this into that kind of thread. I know he’s one of the best players in the world and there’s obviously a reason he’s won so much.
That being said… this clip just looks weird to me.
When the other player jumps, Peterbot’s crosshair seems to snap onto him almost instantly. But what really caught my attention is what happens right after. It almost looks like his crosshair sticks to the player for a split second while he’s flying through the air, and it still looks connected even as the player is moving toward cover.
I’ve watched competitive Fortnite for years and I’ve seen thousands of crazy flicks from top pros, but I honestly don’t remember seeing one that looked like this.
I’ve watched this clip frame by frame and I still can’t figure out if it’s just an insane flick, some weird visual effect, or if I’m completely misunderstanding what I’m seeing.
So I’m asking the people here who are good at breaking down pro gameplay: What exactly is happening here?
Is this just elite mouse control that looks weird in slow motion, or is there something else that explains why it looks like the crosshair stays attached to the player?
I’m genuinely curious because I’ve never seen anything that looked quite like this.
Observation : I edited the video with meme noises cause I posted this in my tick tock, but either way, u can see clearly that his crosshair locks on to the player.
I first learned about Fortnite when my oldest was 8 and started playing- yes I know it's rated T for teen, 6 years later I still play with my now 14 yr old and 10 yr old.
For me it's fun and I make awesome memories with my kids.
When I was growing up I would have loved either parent to get into something I liked, so as my kids grow up I check out every game/song/show they enjoy.
I was just wondering if others on here game with their kids - young kids to adult kids?
Tbh I don’t understand the hate with the pen & ink skins i think they’re cool. Yeah i get it people think its lazy but some of the regular versions are battle pass locked but its a good alternative
Why epic… No more sprites… I’m tired of collecting them.. it’s not fun anymore especially if you keep adding more and more … we have less than a month to collect and master 91 sprites.. like most of us have lives .. your ruining summer.. is it just me or does anyone feel the same way?
Have no idea if he'll see this or not, but just in case. There was a Peter Griffin skin on the spawn island for ZB with the Pollo sprite, and there were about 5 or 6 people all swinging their pickaxes at him all at once. I (Heatwave PJ) started sliding into the people attacking him to knock them away.
Then the bus came. I had no intention of going after him, I don't target people from the spawn island for sprites. I just dropped at my usual spot by the hill at the southern point of the snowy area with the trampoline. A minute later, I'm heading up to the little ski lodge lift there by Lifty Lodge.
I see the footsteps and I get ready, then see the door open and I immediately shoot. I was fighting on instinct, not realizing the person I was fighting was Peter Griffin until it was too late. I killed him, and the Pollo sprite sat there on the ground. I, the one person defending him in the spawn island, was the one who killed him with the sprite everyone was after. I didn't even intend to, I had no idea where he was dropping and didn't plan on running into him.
I extracted it, but if that Peter Griffin player sees this, I'm the Heatwave PJ player who killed you in the ski lift building when you had the Pollo sprite. Again, so sorry and I wouldn't have killed you if I realized it was you earlier. Here's hoping you get enough sprite dust to bring the sprite back.
I just wanted to do a quick game before work to master my boss sprite, the ext. point was already in zone, this person comes with their car. I rift away, come back after 1 minute after buying medkits, they are camping there (by that point if they had something to extract of their own they could have done it), and by this point I am over this match but was like let me come back again I wait and they were camping on highground and they snipe me. All of this just for one pretty common sprite lol.
I probably should have just fought them but I just did not want to go trough having to level up the sprite again if I lose.
I am all for fighting, this is a pvp game and all, but this was just so petty for no reason. Maybe because I am like older and after 4 years of playing this game it's really not that serious anymore for me but some people are truly obsessed
Anyway I tried one more match and did it and even won (bus happened) so ggs I guess.
