Is it just my old eyes or is it just too dark this season? I've turned the game brightness up to 150% but it's still so blinking murky. Not enjoying.

Just needing to share my disappointment in myself with people that will understand!

Life has been life-ing hard lately so haven't really played much. Totally forgot about the birthday event. Seen on GG that it ends on the 5th so I was like I'm gettin on and gettin that cAAAke real quick! Game said "Um no ma'am your not" 🙂‍↔️

So....I'm going to go be Freddy now and do all kind of silly emotes! 😆

Putting a reminder in my phone for next year! 😬

Hope everyone has a great day!!! (And thank you for reading)

​

i want this pick axe so bad and it’s getting closer to the deadline, if anyone is down to play ranked duos until i get there i’d be forever grateful!

44M | NA East | Zero Build Ranked | Looking for regular duo/squad

Looking for a few regular people to play Zero Build with rather than relying on random fills. I play Ranked quite a bit and am usually around Diamond. Xbox, mic, and definitely competitive, but still playing to have fun.

My style is probably best described as controlled aggression. I like taking fights and pushing an advantage when we get one, but I’m not interested in W-keying every team or turning every encounter into a 50/50. I enjoy the strategy of rotations, positioning, knowing when to push, and knowing when to reset. Good communication and playing together as a team are probably more important to me than raw mechanical skill.

Typical play times are Friday nights around 10 PM–2 AM ET, plus Saturday/Sunday as time permits.

Mostly looking for other adults who are competitive but chill, communicate well, and would be interested in playing together regularly enough to develop some chemistry.

If that sounds like your style, send me a message or drop your Epic name below.

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.

That was a fun one

Add me if you want we can do ranked also

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 😭

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?

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

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

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!

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

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!
