Fortnite Fans!
Prepare yourselves for a Battle Royale update incoming Dec. 19, 8am ET (13:00 GMT). We’re improving trap usability and introducing the Small Shield Potion for the survivor on the go.
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!
Throughout the day, we will be randomly choosing players from the crowd to take the stage and battle for Fortnite swag and prizes! If you can’t make it to PSX 2017, you can tune into our livestream at twitch.tv/fortnitegame, where we will be broadcasting the entirety of the event.
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.
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...
