You'll get the same error message at tier 95 or above when trying to buy this bundle, since buying 5 or fewer tiers individually is cheaper than the discounted bundle.

Hahaha, I'm so sorry, I just came across them, I would've credited you if i knew. But you work for epic and get to work on awesome stuff like this, and that's by far cooler than karma. Loving the game and all the stuff you guys add to it!

No problem. Just messing with you! I got my internet points on Twitter today.

Heya Fortnite folks,
 
One of our goals for Fortnite is to have a number of ways to play the game and be successful. We’ve identified some strategies that are overly dominant and we’ll be making some adjustments today. Going forward we’ll continue to monitor how we can best support that gameplay variety.
 
Here are some of the immediate changes coming today!
 
Shotguns  
For awhile we felt that Shotguns promoted healthy close quarter gameplay, however with the recent equip time changes, Shotguns are being used more often than we like. It's something we've been keeping an eye on, but broadly speaking we feel Shotguns are a little too strong in their current state. As a result, we’re making these adjustments:  

  • Pump Shotgun
    • Headshot multiplier reduced from 2.5 to 2.0
    • Damage reduced from 90/95 to 80/85
  • Tactical Shotgun
    • Headshot multiplier reduced from 2.5 to 2.0

Heya folks,
 
Shortly we’ll be pushing a few adjustments live. We are making the following changes to address a few top concerns, including: Rocket Launcher and Grenade Launcher dominance in the late game, Minigun effectiveness, and overall resource availability. We will be closely monitoring these changes when they are live to assess the impact and re-adjust as necessary.

 

  • Supply Llama
    • Decreased material stacks from 500 to 200 per resource.
    • Explosive Ammo removed.
  • Damage fall-off vs. structures removed for Rifles, SMGs, Pistols, and LMGs.
  • Floor loot materials adjusted
    • Material drop chances in floor loot reduced by 33%.
    • Material stack sizes in floor loot reduced by 33%.
  • Ammo availability adjusted
    • Light Ammo stack sizes increased from 12 to 18.
    • Explosive Ammo availability decreased 50%.
  • Minigun adjusted
    • Accurac...

This video is incredible. Definitely appreciate your passion, and we hear you.

We are regularly evaluating viability and logistics for new server regions, like a dedicated SEA region. Just like we stood up Brazil and Asia, and then eventually added Brazil to Xbox. I can say SEA is an active area of investigation for us. I can't give a timeline, but we absolutely want to make this happen when it makes sense to do so.

Also, a couple folks here mentioned cost/benefit analysis. That's actually not the core focus, or even a major factor in opening a new region. It's really about evaluating experience tradeoffs, impact to existing regions, etc. We are also exploring tech solutions to help make some of those tradeoffs easier to mitigate.

Thanks for being awesome.


Hey everyone,

We received great suggestions and advice for Solo Showdown over the course of the competitive LTM from players all over the world who participated. The Fortnite team also has a few fun stats to share from the Solo Showdown LTM.

  • For the top 100 players, the average eliminations per game was 4.96
  • Average Solo Showdown match length was 5% longer than regular solo.
  • The tiebreaker difference between #100 and #101 was seven eliminations.
  • The European region had the most players in the top 1000.
  • Teamers were banned from the event and cheaters were permanently banned from Fortnite.

We’re pumped to bring our players another competitive experience with a new Limited Time Mode: Blitz Showdown.*

Explanation: The main ‘fire’ button on Mobile is... gone.

Evidence: It isn’t there. Confirmed with friends on Mobile it is missing for them too.

If replicable, how? Update to the latest version and it removes the button despite any settings you have.

Platform: Mobile.

Please give Mobile some upvote lovin’. We bitched and moaned so hard to get this button and now it’s gone!

It won’t appear even with tap-to-fire disabled. It is nowhere in the customise HUD screen and I’m at a loss.

we are aware of the issue, and are investigating what we can do to fix. in the meantime, resetting custom Hud layout seems to fix it. sorry!

That means there's already an Epic account associated with that email address. You can try logging in to the Epic Games website with that email. If you can't remember the password, you can hit the "Reset password" link in the login screen and you should get an email with instructions.

Hey folks,
 
Our newest item went live this week - the Jetpack! With it we introduced a new concept of “Limited Time Items”. These items can change gameplay in a big or unique way. The key difference is that these items will only be available for a limited time (we’re still locking down exact timing, but we’ll give you a heads up).

 
In addition, we’re closely monitoring data (including your feedback) regarding this particular item. Our goal with the Jetpack is to provide a fun and balanced experience, with exciting new gameplay possibilities.
 
Have you had a chance to try the Jetpack yet? Let us know what you think.

Just you and your friends.

Up to four people in your squad. from my interpretation it’ll still be a full 100 person lobby. but with friendly fire you can scrim teammates, which is the reference to the size of four I believe.

Nope. Just you and up to three other friends in a match by yourself.

You can play by yourself in a match if you'd like to. But it's obviously more fun with friends.
