We've removed bundles currently while we investigate an error associated with them. The top image in this post is the version that players should see. Hotfixes sometimes take a little longer for all servers to receive them, so some players may have seen the Bundle version of the Store for a short time.

Oh my I didn't realize you were Epic Staff. My IGN is tacozzFN.

Looks like you changed your name from jaχ to tacozzFN shortly before the event. You're #63 on the leaderboard - when we get unicode characters it can display erroneously in html format. Our database still has your previous account name but will update after more than 24hrs :)

So me and friend play mobile from time to time and we will always keep getting killed by pc or console players.

Mobile players join mobile only lobbies. The only time cross-platform happens is if one of the players in the party is on another platform.

PC and Mac players will be receiving a client update in order to make some stability improvements.

Are you qualified upon reaching the 20point mark, or do they pick the 100 best scores across the 2 day span?

It's the 200 top scorers from each region.

Does it mean we can headshot now with snipers?

We'll be releasing the changes to the collision volume in the next update, Patch v6.31.

Post

Boom! We’ve re-enabled Dynamite as well as made some adjustments to the Mounted Turret.

Mounted Turret Changes:

  • Headshot Multiplier

    • Reduced from 2.0x to 1.5x
  • Time To Overheat

    • Reduced from 10 seconds to 6 seconds

We’ll also be making additional changes in the upcoming v6.31 update. We are going to adjust the collision volume to make it easier to land shots against whoever is occupying the Mounted Turret as well as change the Turret’s floor to take structure damage instead of player damage.

Drop into the fun and keep the discussions and feedback coming!

Just to make it clear, so both Saturday and Sunday we will have 3 open windows of 3 hours each to make as many points as possible to get qualified? That means 6 possible chances total.

You got it! You can attempt as many sessions as you'd like. Only your highest score from a single session is the one that counts toward qualifying.

Shoot at it and it stops, but yes, very annoying.

We had hoped to get a fix in for 6.31, but unfortunately it didn't make it to the build in time. The fix is currently slated for the release after 6.31.

Hi guys! Just a quick update.

We mention in the blog "For specific times and a listing of all other online tournaments, be sure to follow the schedule in the in-game Events tab."

This is our error. The schedule information that includes tournament times will not actually not appear in game until later this evening.

The schedule is the following for each Solo Qualifier on 11/24 and 11/25:

Europe

10 AM GMT - 1 PM GMT

2 PM GMT - 5 PM GMT

6 PM GMT - 9 PM GMT

North America

1 PM EST - 4 PM EST

5 PM EST - 8 PM EST

9 PM EST - 12 AM EST

Ok that sounds good

So if the blue does 10 what does the green pump do? I’m guessing around 7 or 8.

9.5/pellet

Blue Pump Shotgun will do 10 damage per pellet with the increased damage, so it will actually be 30 :-). Fall-off still applies though so if you hit a target far away it's possible to hit below that amount.

Hey Loomin, I know I’m going to sound stupid, but are you our CM for anything competitive happening? All the other CMs don’t post anything competitive, while you are the only one I believe that does.

Additionally, is there an age requirement? And will this be in a duo format?

Howdy! I'm actually not a community manager. I work on the esports team and just post updates for competitive play.

As prizes are involved, the Finals will be restricted to players 16 and older. The format for the entire event will be solos.
