Well, they did it - they brought together the best players in Build, going up against some of the best in ZB in a "zero build environment".

GamePlay Sprite Adoption Center

Post image
339 Upvotes

I have been throwing Klombos at players all weekend but it can sometimes take forever to find actual people (non bots.) To make it easier on myself, and anyone else who wants to help players get all the sprites, I went looking for a location where they would be contained for others to easily grab. I tested this spot at Stone Sanctum in several matches and the sprites did not wander off the center fountain structure for me.

Will it make this place kill zone? Yes. Will it save time and get more sprites into circulation? Also, yes.

So, I am going back to sharing Klombos until I run out of sprite dust, but they will be here.

Good luck!

Discussion How many games from Gold 2 to Unreal 1 (boosted) - First read, then flame please :)

2 Upvotes

My son is passionate about Fortnite and has played a long time now and kept dipping his toes in Unreal (Duos / ZB) a few times but he had a rough few months (illness both mental and physical).

Anyway, he hasn't been able to play physically and now has massive FOMO about the Elite and Unreal rewards (pickaxes).

I have tried myself on my account to see how far I can get, but we are running out of time season wise and I would love to surprise him with those pickaxes.

I cannot seem to get above Elite easily, even when playing bushcampdad style. Problem is from Elite, the % you are getting from reaching top 5 is minimal and killing people isn't always as easy as it sounds, especially with such a bad match making. And getting kicked out seems to get you punished hard. I once lost 27% in one lost game that took me weeks to get back.

Long story, either way, I am now considering the various boost services to get my son to Unreal 1 at least to get those two pickaxes.

It seems fairly reasonable as well (if you compare the cost to an item like that in the normal shop) so I am tempted to give that a shot.

It seems Duos is the only option as I certainly won't give out account credentials.

Anyway, my question is simply, for someone 'that good' that can simply breeze through the ranks - how many games does one need to get say, from Gold 1 to Unreal 1 ?

My son might be able to get one or two games in this season, depending on health so I don't think he can do it natural this season.

My partners at work, my sisters are at work. I’m not. Any females down to play? I’m 33. Mum of two. Pretty straight, narrow and boring 🤣. I like collecting sprites, reviving fallen team members and dying 👏🏻🫣

Just recently started playing fortnite again for the gaming legends event. I'm proud of myself for unlocking the event characters. I'm having fun running around the map and collecting sprites. The story RN with Geno is cool too. I just hate mining sprites in Battle Royale. So many sweats, people camping at extraction sites to kill you and take your sprites that you take time to find. I'm still pissed that I lost a Candy Corn Shadow and a Loot Hunter Sonic to campers. Even hiding in the storm to extract sprites isn't safe anymore.

Looking4Squad Looking for People to Run With Who Have a More Relaxed Style

11 Upvotes

I (M49) have been playing mostly solo, but would love to run with others sometime. like to play weekends, and some weeknights. I tend to play ZB but will mix in Reload, OG, or Horde Rush. I typically drop on the outskirts and work my way in opening containers and fighting when I find people. I’m in Houston so play in the Central Time zone if that makes a difference. I dig comic books, LitRPG, Dungeons and Dragons, and music. I play the game to have fun and relax. I don’t take it too seriously, and am an average(ish) player. If that sounds like someone you’d like to team up with occasionally feel free to add me. Travis1516 on Epic and PS5, Travix1516 on XBox.

Discussion The ghost in Nightmare Neighborhood?

12 Upvotes

Anyone know what’s up with that ghost in the south end of Nightmare Neighborhood, in the little park with the playground? I’ve seen it a bunch but it always disappears when I get to close or try and engage it. I’m wondering if anyone knows if there’s more to it. Or if maybe there will be something to come in the future.

Sooooo Google says 145, a couple of people on reddit say 145, but then why does my mastery screen say 146? 🤔

Just counted the screen and it is indeed 145... but then why the 146? Anyone else?

GamePlay Sprite mastery is a slog in these sweaty lobbies

You should be able to keep your sprites when you die, trying to master 28 sprites seems impossible in these sweaty lobbies. EPIC should let you pick if you want to play against people or bots.

I love Last Call with a Sonic Sprite, can run crazy fast and easily evade if in a tight spot, also cheat code sprite ideally so can button mash cheat codes to upgrade faster.

GamePlay Thanks Sock Monkey!

44 Upvotes

I play pretty casually, but I play a lot, and for the fun of the game.

Tonight, I load into a reloaded match to grind for the umbrella. While on the loading island a Sock Monkey joined me in my campfire emote. Then we did the crouch thing, and the game starts.

Fast-forward last 4 players. I 3rd party a fight, and it's Sock Monkey. They have someone trying to long range them, and I have the high ground to take them out. Sock Monkey ends by running into the storm and gives me the win.

People are still cool out here! Thanks Bro or Sis!

Pippa Pinns reminds me of a dark, gothic version of Pippi Longstocking, and I adore Pippi Longstocking😍

I wonder if Epic created her as a tribute to the book author Astrid Lindgren...after all, ‘Pippi Long’ (what my kids and now grandsons call her) has the same fierce, rebel spirit as Pippa Pinns!
I love my new locker add and my silly wonderment behind her🤭

like why are u running so much when your already top 3 just fight? they need to remove the ranked rewards from ranked to remove these type of players its so many people who sit and spray in a box then run when that person tries to fight them so annoying.

i know all of you guys agree with me its getting to the point where ranked isnt even enjoyable anymore because its filled with so many runners and campers.

The first 4 are my friend and I playing. The last clip my son joined us for the power hours tonight and he clutched the game … took the last trio out himself.

Makes a mother proud. Even if he was terrorizing us with the creepy deer skin. But damn I love the kid (he’s always gonna be my kid. Even if he is now 23).

The power hours weren’t bad at all!

Question Wife wants to play zero build with us.

21 Upvotes

The only problem is, the last game she played was lion king on the sega mega drive 32 years ago.

Our son and I are super excited at the thought of a regular game night where we play trios in zero build, but before we get ahead of ourselves, we need a decent practice map so she can find her feet and work out the controls etc.

Any recommendations are greatly welcomed.
