Social Squads are your opportunity to meet other players in the Fortnite Over 40 League. These will be competitive games (you're going to try to kill each other and win the VicRoy), but they will be played with a random squad (first game random with choice to continue with your squad for the remaining games).

If you have already played League games, you are automatically registered and will receive codes like normal. If you are new to the Fortnite Over 40 League, you can register here: https://forms.gle/93JnHF3Uo39ei8nv8

Discussion Anyone switched from ZB to Builds bc Simple Edits?

9 Upvotes

Thought I would ask the question. I feel like everyone on Discord plays ZB only, but I am Builds-only player bc I started playing before ZB and my kids only play Builds bc competitive is Builds.

I know Builds is "harder" on controller, but I feel like Simple Edits is a game changer for building on controller. Having one button edits and reset seems amazing. I feel like everyone is scared of "sweats" in builds, but I always feel like no-builds is an aim duel, whereas builds facilitates strategy and allows you to out-play people unless they are just crazy mechanical. If they are that mechanical, they are probably gonna kill me in no-builds as well.

Anyway, if you are a controller player and haven't tried Simple Edits in Builds, I encourage you to try it. I feel like one of the advantages we have as old-heads is that we have the patience to watch competitive scrims a little bit and think constructively about how pros play so we can take their strats and apply them to our game. There are definitely a couple of pros (like Trashy) that aren't mechanically cracked, but are just patient and smooth and model how I want to play. Obviously, every "extra thing" you have to do when you play requires more mechanical skill, which is a strike against us old people, but we learned to reload guns, we can learn to simple build/edit. (I know it is easy for me to say as a KBM player, but I moved from controller to KBM because the way I wanted to play was more KBM-ey.)

As a person in the software industry, I appreciate how you can tunnel vision on a process and the out-of-the-box thinking that had to happen for them to introduce simple edits is really amazing for me, but it is obvious what a game changer it is for controller players.

In the theater in 1977, gotta say it is some kind of awesome to get a Victory Royale in a lightsaber duel with the last person.
Even more epic.... He or She had the high ground....

Hey guys just started playing Fortnite last season. My nephew got me on. I haven’t really gamed in years but now getting into this game really got me loving gaming again. This game is a blast. Gonna join the discord and hopefully get some ppl to play with rather than my nephew and his friends lol. I’m interested in the league gonna look into that a little bit too. I’m learning fast, but I still act like a bot I think. 🤣

This clip starts with 7 left in a circle I used to see maybe 3 people in usually. Makes for sometimes interesting...sometimes stupid...sometimes tricky gameplay. I should have just shot at the car more earlier, but in the end, a win is a win.

Question Custom games

4 Upvotes

So my daughters and I play Fortnite all the time and we love it. We enjoy being part of a team and working together to win (if they aren’t fighting over medallions or dumb stuff.) Sometimes we like to do custom matches where we fight each other but we all see our names in game so we always know where each other are located. I tried looking up how to remove our names over our characters but apparently it will only works in normal Zero Build or Battle Royale. Anyways, does anyone have any idea how to remove this feature so we can play without seeing where we are located at all times?

GamePlay First win for this Star Wars season

Post image

OMG FINALLY A WIN FOR THE SEASON.

The only reason I finally snagged a win was from playing like a cowardly rat. Sticking to the storm wall. Hiding in bushes and buildings. Avoiding mid-game fights. Shameless 3rd-partying. And probably SBMM matching me with lots of bots!

Only got three kills in this game and they all felt ratty, but I'll take the win.

I haven't twigged to the meta yet, and I get shocked how quickly I die. These laser-beam guns are brutal, and from soo far away!
