Thanks for clarifying that. I want it done now but didn't expect it to happen. Also can you please address MEDBOTs? I can not continue progressing because the MEDBOT missions can't be completed. There are at least 10 posts in the past few days on r/FORTnITE about it and all that was said was "We're looking into it" and that was 2 days ago.

Just want to clarify we are aware of that issue and are working towards a fix. :)

I completely understand you all wanting the update now, I want to see you out there having fun! There are however things we need to prepare before we push this fix and 2:00 AM ET is as soon as we can get this sorted out for everyone.

UPDATE: You are reunited! Players should once again be able to connect with their friends. We will be leaving notifications and stats off for the time being. Get out there and play with your friends!

We will update you once we enable notifications and stats(being backlogged).

UPDATE: You've missed your friends, we know and are about to begin maintenance to address the issues we've been seeing today. There will be some downtime (begins at 2:05 AM ET) during this period while the update makes it way out to you patient players. Thank you for your understanding.

We’ve been having problems with some of our services today. We’ve discovered a fix but it will require some downtime. We are scheduling this for 2:05 AM ET. We thank everyone for their patience today. We want you back out in the action!

We will provide more updates when we have them.

Glad you caught it. This was one of the requests I made for the trailer and every review I kept asking for it.

Heya folks,

We’ve been teasing you about a new mode all week and the time has come. Starting right now you can hop into our first limited-time mode … 50v50.  Two teams battle it out in the most epic Battle Royale action yet. See for yourself in the action below.  
 

But for how long? Great question!

The 50v50 playlist is available from Dec. 8 to through Dec. 17, so make sure to grab your friends and jump into the battle for a limited time.

How does it work?
Just load up Battle Royale and select the 50v50 playlist. You can jump into the mode solo or with up to three friends. Once the Battle Bus gets flying, you’ll see your squad on the map and communicate like a normal squad/duo match. You’ll also see green markers on the map and above the heads of the remaining 50-player team. The circle closes in. Last team standing wins.

Are there any special rules? 
  • Friendly Fire Off (Bu...

Wasn't it supposed to be activated in Brazil right now?

Looking into this - I think we have an issue keeping Duos off in Brazil and we're working to resolve. Sorry :(

This should be fixed very shortly I believe and will update ASAP.

EDIT: This is resolved now. Sorry again for the delay here. Have fun!

Hey friends,

Sorry for lack of heads up on this, but final plans got solidified and executed late last night. We didn't want to announce this as incoming until we were 100% sure it all worked as expected. Basically, Duos should now be available in OCE, ASIA, and Brazil server regions during their respective "peak hours". Each region has a slightly different overall curve from peak to offpeak due to geo/timezones and such, so that total available time range might look a little bit different from region to region.

We will be keeping an eye on this and tweaking as needed. Ideally, we want to keep expanding the time range that Duos is available.

Here are the time ranges per region where duos should currently be available:

  • Oceania 12:00 AM - 7:30 AM EST // 5:00 AM - 12:30 PM UTC
  • Asia 3:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST // 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM UTC
  • Brazil 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM EST // 2:00 PM - 5:00 AM UTC

Thank...

Hey, question! Why doesn't the game properly support retina Macs? The game runs at 1x instead of 2x, so it's less than 1080p on my 15" MacBook Pro.

I honestly don't have the answer to that, sorry. I only commented on this particular post as I was the one who created the smoke bomb originally.

Yup & sorry, this was just fixed yesterday and will be included in 1.10 (along with other smoke bomb problems, such as popping if 2 smoke bombs overlap and you walk into one directly from another).

Playing With Friends


Duos and Squads are best when you can play with friends! We realize that our existing social features make it hard to make and/or find friends. We are working on making it easier to play again with people you had a great game with, make new friends, and import your friends lists from other social networks.

Certain regions don’t have the Duos playlist (we hear you Oceania!) and we continue to monitor population per platform and region. We are working on a system that is going to allow us to schedule Duos during popular hours so we can offer the mode while maintaining a good experience.

Team Killing


We dropped the ball on addressing team killing. We take action based on player reports, but the system isn’t straightforward to use, and doesn’t let you know whether we took action or not. This needs improvement. Last week we started casting a wider net to catch current and past team killers and issued numerous warning...

Fortnite has grown quick, fast and in a hurry! We’re humbled and happy to welcome so many of you into Fortnite. The community started as a tiny seed of online testers, now with your help it has blossomed into so much more. You’ve had lots of great suggestions and feedback about Fortnite and we’re listening! 

Here’s what you’re saying about RNG:
 

"Everything is RNG gated including heroes you can play. When you finally do get something decent, RNG determines the bonus stats as well. So you have RNG (llamas) upon RNG (loot from llamas) upon RNG (bonus/random stats on loot)" - /u/Dustin1280


We are delivering features that ease that feeling and increase your reward choices. We've added more quests, more storm rewards for evolution ingredients and more activities that easily allow you to get what you want. And guess what, we want to do more!

Here’s what you can expect soon:
