After playing Fortnite for quite a few years, Alpha Player of the Week, Tenma has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Luckily for us, he's happy to share some of those tricks with us!

Epic Games Senior Community Manager, Will Kinsler said, "Tenma knows Fortnite as well as anyone. During Alpha he created guides to help new players, answered countless questions in global chat. I learned a lot watching him play. We're lucky to have him in our community and I can't wait to see all of the great things he'll contribute now that we're entering Early Access!"

Fortnite Commanders,

In the four days since Head Start Access began, your enthusiasm and passion for Fortnite has completely blown us away. We are humbled and amazed by all of your tweets, streams, videos, and your incredible support and patience as we’ve worked through technical issues to keep you in Fortnite fighting back the storm.

When we decided to open Fortnite to a larger community via Early Access, we hoped some of you would embrace the opportunity to jump in and help us put shape around our core systems and features. We hoped a handful of players would want to participate in our development adventure. You exceeded every estimate of just how many of you would show up!

This is a live service and we are here for the long haul.  We’ll keep iterati... Read more

Fellow fort fanatics,

If Fortnite going into Early Access was not enough for you, well prep those traps and reinforce those walls because we’re kicking things off with a Founder’s Event.

These Llama contain all the same things you’d expect to find in a Llama (Survivors, Weapons, etc.), but also a chance at a Founder’s Exclusive version of an epic weapon (normal weapon).

Founder’s Coins can be acquired through Daily Quests which will be ...

Over the course of Fortnite’s development, we have been lucky to have Alpha players who have been here since the very beginning. They have given us helpful feedback, played countless hours, and answered loads of questions to help other players learn more about the game.

We’d like to show our appreciation and recognize the people who have become valuable members of the Fortnite Community and are helping to shape Fortnite into being the best it can be. Haysleyez is one of those players.

“From OT1 to OT11, Hays is always a constant and always present, playing, providing feedback, and helping in any way needed… even putting Fortnite ahead of sleep,” says Executive Producer Zak Phelps. “Hays is equally good at playing as providing amazing examples from other games that would make Fortnite better. Many of the quality of life improvements have come from conversations we've had about the game. Hays is an amazing player and contributor!”
