Thank you for the non-snarky response. Much appreciated. If you hadn't already put in so much work on something that sounds like it would be more fun to play, I probably wouldn't have asked. No harm except my karma, lol. I wish I could play at your offices. I'm guessing you guys have a closed system to play around in.
But of course, we are already playing season 7 ;)
We've reduced the availability of the Mounted Turret in all default modes (Solo, Duos, Squads).
Drop in now and continue sending us your feedback.

Wanted to drop by and let you know that at this time our plan is to release a PC only client update early tomorrow morning to resolve the FPS drops from Elemental enemies on PC.
We'll provide more updates on social channels once this update has been released. Thanks!
Have you guys thought about putting a 'no build' volume inside the structure with the mascot? I think it's way to claustrophobic when it's full of walls and turrets. Preventing building in there will open it up and allow for better gunplay. Like there was in 'disco'. This would also allow for a more varied meta other then 'build turrets in the enemy structure right next to the mascot and block yourself in'. Cheers. /u/MrPopoTFS /u/EpicDustyDevo
Actually there is a volume in there, but it shipped bugged. Should be fixed in next week's build. The volume is just where the mascot is, so you can still build inside of some of the base, just not in the center. We will see how that plays and then go from there.
Hey all,
We wanted to come back around and give a final update for players that might have been affected by the PS4 Double Purchase issue that occurred around Season 6 Launch.
For a timeline on the issue you can head over to our last update, as well as the initial Reddit post that brought the larger issue to our attention with the in-line Epic responses.
Read moreI know bug fixing is hard but do you guys think it will be fixed today or will it be in a couple of days?
At this time I don't have any additional info on that. We're going to fix it as soon as we're able to and are actively working towards a solution.
Fix this shit 20fps lol
Hey there, we posted information about that a bit earlier. Link

If I could give you digital cookies at least for paying attention, I would. So thank you.
But to business: I wish could provide evidence to support the claims made here, but the Switch doesn’t support recording through its native hardware for Fortnite. This makes sense, as this does help boost performance a bit. I could try and run around to capture some stills, but standard pictures doesn’t really encapsulate the problem.
The biggest issue is just basic performance. The game doesn’t run at 30fps. It’s gotten to the point where even in handheld mode, the poor fan is whining as hard as it can, and it can’t even stay at 30fps in 1v1 fights. I don’t ever see larger based game modes like Disco and Food fight to ever be stable on Switch, as it just doesn’t seem possible. However, every other base mode should fare well.
If you are able to answer, have you guys ever considered just put...
You can thank Huntcaller for the tag, those do help get visibility on post that I may not see. You can even show a cell phone recording held from hand while you are playing, any and all videos and screenshots help. But ill take this feedback and it will be relayed.
For the past few weeks, I have been adamantly vocalizing how performance of BR has been absolutely abysmal on the Nintendo Switch.
All of my posts have mostly gone unnoticed. I’m sure many more of them will continue to be buried under the memes, great plays, and other amazing ideas that manifest on this sub, and that’s okay.
In building awareness and getting Epic to remedy the situation, I will continue to post every week on Friday, about the cataclysmic state the Switch version of the game is in.
It is borderline unplayable. Textures aren’t loading in, players are invisible, frames drop down below 10 even in 1v1s, and excessive server side lag.
There is no reason that the mobile version of the game on iOS and Android are more stable than a dedicated gaming console.
Hardware limitations in mind, you committed to bringing this game to the Switch. So commit, Epic.
Hey Nexus,
First sorry I missed this post, it can be difficult to find a switch or even mobile specific post in this sub due to its size. While I try to do my best they can still slip past me. The best way to give the team visibility on a post is to post in the sister channel to this https://www.reddit.com/r/Fortnitemobile This is the mobile subreddit where the switch post should go since the switch platform falls under my section as mobile community coordinator.
Now I think a great way to start is getting some of these major issues listed on our trello board. I will discuss with th...
Read moreHey /u/EpicDustyDevo can you guys make Both Mascots spawn at the same level ? because i have been in many games where one mascot is far higher which gives them the high ground and puts us in a disadvantage.
We don't have that tech right now, but it's on the list to improve that situation.
Hello there. I had a very weird request. Is it at all possible for you to release an LTM that catered to people who actually shelled out a bunch of money on kick ass computers that would like to play these modes that would perform well on our hardware? ? ? I ask because I am concerned that we are missing out on those shelved items because of the need to cater to all platforms, etc. Thanks for your time.
I feel your pain, but we don't run platform-specific modes.
how is 24v24 too hard to handle...? You have a 50v50 game game mode, and a 36v36 disco game mode with respawn. What kind of logic is this?
What matters in terms of performance is how many players are in the same area fighting, not how many are in the entire map.
Awesome, thanks for listening to us! Would making the bases farther apart help with performance, since the whole lobby wouldn't be in one small area>
Only if we put them multiple grid squares apart, which we may try at some point, but wasn't what we were going for with this first release.
I don't think these changes were necessary, honestly. I haven't had a slow game yet.
The length of the match should be about the same actually, we lowered the health mostly to make it feel like you were making more progress when attacking the mascots. It's also nice that the % number lines up with the health # (minus a few zeroes).
Can the team sizes be increased? It’s pretty unfair when you have to play a 9v12 because all your teammates left
We initially had two versions of the mode, 12s and 24s. 12s played as the more tactical version of the mode, 24s the more chaotic and crazy. Unfortunately, the 24v24 version we had to leave on the shelf as it didn't perform well on a variety of hardware. It's likely we will try to find a middle ground next time we bring the mode back around.
We have received reports of Save the World players being unable to complete the 'Clear!' Medbot mission in Plankerton. We are currently working on a hotfix that will resolve this issue.
We're releasing a hotfix that has adjustments to the Mounted Turret in Battle Royale.
Turret Floor health has been reduced from 5000 to 1000.
Turret health has been reduced from 800 to 400.
