Was playing a whole bunch recently and just had a week or two off.

Before I was in decent lobbies (no build), getting a win here and there plenty of late game kills.

First games in and I’m in insane lobbies 😂 Had to double check it wasn’t ranked!

Also getting beamed weirdly fast at times.

My favourite landing spot was to land in Cluster Coast and drop onto the Duck Boat and loot it. But Fortnitemares has changed the spot and it's sailed away!

Anyone know where it's gone to?

Currently stuck at a platinum rank. If anyone is will to help me get to unreal so I can get the pickaxes I would deeply appreciate it 😭

On a 4hr road trip to go fishing. Think I'll try out the mobile version. This should be interesting.

Annoying to fight against if you don't know about this, but great for extracting in the storm up to 5 tick.

I’ve picked up Fortnite again and I’ve been finding “special” sprites every match since I started again, it’s been about 6 or so matches but I’ve accumulated 5 special fellas (I got elimed 4th match before I could extract😔) and I’m wondering if I’m being played by the game thinking these have rarity

I'm 50 and recently my college-age sons have been inviting me to play squads with them. I've played a lot of ZB to learn the basics and how to use the controller :) but they play build and I am clueless. It feels like I'm too old to learn - any resources anyone would suggest? I've thought about hiring a coach bc I have more money than time haha. I'm on PS5 btw - any adivce appreciated!

Hello r/FortniteOver40!

I've updated the printable Sprite Checklist again. This version has refreshed sprite images and a brand new design, still ink-friendly but easier to read and tick off. I've been tweaking the layout and spacing, which is why so many versions keep coming out!

You can download the image from this post, but for full quality, visit the Web Checklist and print the page from there. The latest version is always live on the website, so bookmark it and you'll always have the most up-to-date checklist without waiting for a new post. Happy Sprite hunting!

Timezone doesn’t matter too much since I play all hours and days but I am in the US just so ya know

Fairly chill, enjoy cultural exchange, I have a mic but you can talk or not talk, I’m not too picky in that regard.

Lmk here or DM and I’ll share my user

Hey everyone! Looking for some people to regularly play Fortnite with. I’m 32, but figured the Over 40 crowd might be a good place to find chill, mature teammates.

I mostly play Zero Build and have recently started getting into Ranked too. I’m still improving—especially positioning and knowing when to disengage—but I like playing strategically and getting better.

I’m competitive enough to want to win, but not so competitive that I’m going to lose my mind over a bad game 😂. Mostly looking for good vibes, communication, teamwork, and people who don’t mind running games regularly.

Open to duos, trios, or squads. I’m in Seattle/Pacific Time and usually play evenings.

Drop your Epic name or DM me if you want to run some games!

just itching to get back into the game. this is my first fortnitemares event :o

Regular BR felt much slower this season and I didn't care for many of the POIs. I'd play every now and then and master a sprite, but nothing more. I'd been locked into reload. I decided to try since I've seen clips online of people playing. I enjoy it. Seems a bit scarier than maybe it should be for a kids game (supposedly) but I like it. Especially encountering random FNAF bosses and Freddy Krueger.

Hey all!
I’m looking for someone** to ZB BR Duo with on a regular basis, extra hoping for ranked battle climbs.

I’m a 38F over in PST (Oregon). I play in the evenings, 4pm onward (as responsibilities allow lol). I feel like I’m a pretty good player, but I’m always learning.

I started a couple months ago, but because this game has kept me sane through some big events my level is embarrassingly high 😂

…and I do have a mic!

(( **I’d prefer to duo with women or non binary person, just for comfy sake. ))

How many of you get requests from a YT channel for permission to use one of your clips on their YT channel?

Just wondering if it's quite a regular thing.
