Those howls you hear aren’t just a Dire Outfit emoting - but actual Wolves! Both predators and their prey have taken up residence on the Island, and you’re at the top of the food chain… for now. Here’s a survival guide of what to expect out there in the wilds.

Raptors

Newly hatched from eggs scattered across the Island, Raptors join the hunt to challenge your spot as the apex predator. Raptors roam in pairs; don’t be surprised if you take one on and their packmate rushes forward to back up their kin. Peerless among the Island’s Wildlife, Raptors will fight whoever and whatever crosses their path!
 

Wolves

Wolves are predators who’re fiercely territorial and will attack if startled! Try distracting them with a tasty Meat snack so you don't become one. With the right touch and a little bribery you may even get one to join your pack. Of course, sometimes you’l... Read more

Beginning March 30, 2021, we’re releasing an update to enhance our player experience for the Nintendo Switch. Specifically, we’re upgrading the renderer on the Nintendo Switch to make better use of the console’s GPU.

Resolution and GPU Performance: What to Expect

So what does this mean for Switch players? The update provides significantly improved resolution both in handheld and docked modes, resulting in images that are less blurry, without loss of performance. The update also provides a more consistent framerate, with fewer hitches, resulting in a smoother experience overall. 

Resolution: Handheld and Docked modes

  • Fortnite on Switch will still use dynamic resolution when needed to ensure a consistent framerate, but this will occur less frequently, and overall resolution will be significantly higher.

If you’re still getting used to what’s new  in the Primal season, or just wondered “what’s that all about?”, we’re here to help cover some of the best tips as you run wild in Chapter 2 Season 6.

 

1 - You’re Mine: Meet the Cuddle Fish

On the Island, players usually associate fish with defense -- acquiring health, shield, and affecting movement. One of the season’s newest fish, the Cuddle Fish, brings a new school of thought. 

After catching one, toss it on the ground to set a proximity attack that will ambush your opponents.

 

2 - Meat: Stave Off the Sweats

Just like fish, the roaming Wildlife are an excellent resource for survival. Hunt them to get Meat.

Keeping Meat in your inventory not only means you can consume it to quickly recover your HP, but you can also use it to lure predators towards your enemies.

There are also...

Not small-time Fortographers,

With Ant-Man’s arrival on the Island, we asked you to use perspective to make him seem like his micro self (or simply make ANY character seem small). Below, we compiled some of our favorite examples of you using perspective to its fullest potential. The next Fortography theme can be found at the bottom of this post!

After the Zero Point sent a mysterious pulse across the Island, survival skills have become more essential than ever. Knowing how to craft your own advanced items can give you the upper hand in these primal times. 

There are many crafting combos, but if you want to begin with the basics, pick up a Makeshift weapon and change it into a Primal weapon... or perhaps something more familiar. Learn how below!


Primal Weapons = Bone-afide Power

Fauna is flourishing on the Island. After hunting down a beast of the land, if you have a Makeshift weapon in your inventory, interact with the Animal Bones to craft a Primal version of that weapon. Primal weapons tend to deal higher damage than others.

Hey Fortnite Creators,

The v16.00 update brings an improved Barrier Device, check out the details below!

Improved Barrier Device

The improved Barrier device is here and includes some updated artwork! Previously, the Barrier device was tied to the build grid, now it can be placed anywhere without needing to be anchored to prebuilt structures. The new Barrier device can be cut, copied, pasted and rotated, and is added to the quick bar rather than the trap inventory. Additionally, the Barrier provides improved scalability selections. If you need a small or large barrier, the scalability improvements will allow Creators to alter the size of the barrier before and after being placed. 

Island Grid Changes

  • To help creators remember which size of Grid Island is being used:
    • The normal Grid Island now appears Green.
    • The Large Grid Island now appears Blue.
    • The Flat Grid Hub still appears Gray.
