The way me and my friends play the Mr. President challenge is as follows:

  • Pick one person from your party of 4 to be the President, (or a random)
  • If the President dies, you fail, and the match is over (restart). Your team wins only if get a Victory Royale with the president still alive.
  • The president can only Emote, Dance & Build (and dab on your enemies when you get kills)
  • The other 3 members of your party (Secret Service) can only use the revolver, regular pistol and Silenced pistol. Secret Service can only use meds/shields if the President is as healthy as possible. President get's priority on Meds.

Good Luck!

Yeah I completely disagree with them selling that Glider. Now it's a thing everybody will/can have, not just the people from season 1 who hit lv25. It's not even that great of a skin but it would of been sort of cool to have something that in the future some players might not have. Now everyone can have it.

Including the Mako Glider in the daily items for today (Jan, 2) was a mistake on our part, we are removing it now. We plan to keep all items from Season 1 and 2 exclusive. As we work to expand in future seasons, rewards may include a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive items.

What do you think? Do you want the opportunity to purchase items from multiple seasons ago, or should season rewards be completely exclusive?

Can you pm me your username and what platform you're on?

I'll pass this along to our support team and see if they can help unblock you.

EDIT: Recommendation from our support team is to first make sure you reach out to PayPal support if you haven't already, in case they are throttling something on their end. Beyond that, please private message me your username and if possible a screenshot or text of whatever error you are seeing when you try to make the purchase. That way our dudes can take a look on our end. We definitely want to get you in that Nog Ops outfit ASAP :P

How much time and how many people do you need to do get a complete emoticon like the one of the snale dance?

Depends on how complicated or how long the dance is. The dance above was around 1 weeks worth of work for one animator.

nice job guys

Hand keying is more labor intensive but it allows us to push poses/timing and really define the performance as a whole.

Yup and sorry, not sure what happened but I'm looking into this right now in hopes of putting a fix into the next patch.

Heya folks,

 

The Battle Pass marks the beginning of Season 2 cosmetic offerings in Fortnite Battle Royale.   The Season Store is retiring with the release of the Battle Pass, so get the Season 1 items (S1 Glider, Banner) while they’re still available!

 

The v1.11 update launches our Battle Pass which includes a ton of items for you to earn while playing Battle Royale.

 

What’s the Battle Pass? The TL;DR is … buy the Battle Pass to get cosmetic loot now. Then play to level up your Battle Pass, unlocking up to 65+ rewards by the end of the season. (It typically takes 75 to 150 hours of play to get everything.) Watch the video for more info!

 

 


 

Play Battle Royale. Level up. Unlock Epic loot. Buy the Battle Pass to get cosmetic loot now. Then earn or buy even more rewards.

Stats are currently being backfilled and then we will add them back in at a later date. We are doing this to keep things in a healthy state. Hope this helped.
