Fortnite's New Update Let Players Thanks the Bus Driver


Fortnite's new update 5.3 introduced a vast plethora of new content and changes in the game. One of the most apparent differences added to the game is the ability for players to thank the bus driver before jumping off to the playing field.The addition of the “Thank the Bus Driver,” wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes but players were able to instantly notice the feature as soon as they play the updated version of the game. Players can express their thanks by pressing a specific button,depending on the platform,and a message will display on the lower-left corner of the screen saying “[Player name] has thanked the bus driver.”

POPULARWant to Get That Sweet Samsung Exclusive Skin, But don't have a Galaxy Phone? Here's How.

For those of us who don't have a Samsung phone, there's still way to get the exclusive Samsung skin without owning a Galaxy phone. I can asure you that this isn't some sort of scam. The short explanation is that you need to go to a store that has the latest galaxy phones on display, you need to install Fortnite on it, login with your Epic account, and then play a few matches. Once you do this, then you'll get the exclusive skin without owning a Galaxy phone. Here's the complete set of instructions:
 
1) Download Fortnite on your Galaxy Note9 or Tab S4 from the Samsung folder > Galaxy Apps and tap on the Fortnite Banner.
2) Tap “Install and open” in the Quick Installation pop-up, then read through and accept the terms and conditions.
3) Note: This will install and open the Fortnite Installer and Fortnite on your Galaxy Note 9 or Tab S4.
4) Once logged in, play three matches of Fortnite on your Note 9 or Tab S4 device.
5) Tap the “Return to Lobby” button after being eliminated or winning a match for it to count toward the three matches you need to complete.
6) After three matches are complete, allow 24-48 hours to receive a gift box in Fortnite with your Galaxy Skin. Tap the gift box to open and use your Galaxy Skin.
 
Here's where I got the instructions from:

EG salty they were called out for their Fortnite android release

As the title says Epic Games mad Google called out a big malware exploit in the android release. I was already pissed they made did all that timed exclusive stuff with Samsung. They wanted dodge that 30% cut from Google play and the risk of exploits and things getting stolen. Google found a problem with the android installer, told EG, and released this info as a PSA.
EG thanked Google and then said Google was irresponsible for releasing that info so quickly. Lol wut? They were warned about not putting Fortnite on google play. Security risks are a thing guys and popular games like Fortnite are easy targets. Every body and EG needs to be praising Google for finding the problem then telling people. EG did not do that. Instead of being humble and admitting their mistake they gave Google an undeserved verbal middle finger.
EG said Google was unprofessional and only did that because Fortnite isn't on Google play. To be fair I can see that as retaliation from Google and they were even following protocol. As a player I am glad they called them out. EG needs to slow their roll on that ego. Fortnite installer is fixed for now and this certainly will not be the last time malware exploits are going to be found.
 
If you installed Fortnite for android recently do a security check on your phone. Last thing you want is to have more than just your account stolen.

POPULARProtect Your Account and Receive a Dance Emote

Seeking to fill up your bland emote locker? Want to keep your account safe from unwanted access? Two-Factor Authentication is what you want then.
Fortnite added the Boogie Down contest winner as the new emote. You can get this for free by doing one thing everyone should've done already. Activate two-factor authentication for your account and the emote is yours. For those that are not familiar with two-factor authentication, it adds one extra layer of security to prevent others from stealing your account.
 
Steps to enable Two-Factor:
1. Log into your account on Epic Games' website
2. Go to "Password & Security" under "Manage Account"
3. Follow the instructions to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
 
After that the new emote will be added and you can rest easier knowing your account is safer than before.

This just in, data miners uncovered the actual list of the week 7 challenges. For those of you who hate the current SMG meta are going to "love" week 7 because one of its challenges focuses on getting 3 SMG eliminations. That's going to be a fun one. It's time to pick up an SMG and spray & pray. With all of that said, this list of challenges could end up changing since this hasn't been officially released yet.

POPULARFortnite Is Cementing Its Legacy As One Of The Greatest Games Of All Time

Fortnite has accomplished something incredible. It’s hard to believe that Fortnite almost never existed. Originally designed to be Save the World and nothing more, Epic’s plans for Fortnite were derailed by the explosion of the battle royale genre. In response, Epic quickly began work to on a side project. With inspiration from PUBG and a lot of ambition, just 2 months after the release of Save the World, the Fortnite Battle Royale came to be. The rest is as they say, history.
 
 
With over 125 million active players, Fortnite is the biggest game on the planet and it’s not even close. For comparison, PUBG’s player base is less than 50 million players. You might think that the comparison is unfair because Fortnite is free to play, but Fortnite’s f2p status only makes it that much better. Plus, it’s not like people are only playing Fortnite because it’s free, they’re playing it because it’s fun. This happens to work out quite well for Epic, as players have shown that they're more than willing to financially support the game they love. After all, there’s a reason why Fortnite has already made $1B and is on pace to make over $2B this year alone.
 
Even though money and player count are important, there’s something more important that’s contributing to Fortnite’s legacy: it's genuinely a great game. Fortnite is the only game I’ve played where I feel like I can constantly improve and never plateau. Fortnite makes it clear what skills are required to win, and leaves it up to you to master those skills. Dynamic and interesting, Fortnite is constantly adding new mechanics which not only keep the game fresh, but add new levels of depth and complexity. This game truly feels like it will never get old.
 
I was late to jump on the Fortnite hype train because I thought that’s all it was: hype. But it turns out that behind the hype there’s so much more. If you’re not already playing Fortnite, don’t do what I did and keep putting it off. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime game.

POPULARRifts Will Soon Be Closing by the 21st of This Month

In a recent leak, it turns out that the those mysterious rifts will be closing by the 21st of this month. If there is something that I truly enjoy about this game, is that Epic has done and continues to do an amazing job with including cool mysteries and events. It's this sort of things that will allow Fortnite to stay fresh. These sorts of things definitely keep me going back to games in general.

POPULARShould We Ban Keyboard and Mouse Players on Console?

I was reading this interesting post on the Rainbow Six lounge. The topic was asking for opinions on using a keyboard and mouse on consoles. No votes for "fair" and hella votes for "should get banned for using it." Not 1 vote for fair? I think I will be the first one to vote for that and here's why.
I remember hearing this a long time ago and it pops up every now and then. I'll start off by saying that I like to use a controller and use one on PC sometimes. Controller comes more natural to me than a keyboard and mouse. I understand mouse offers superior precision and I don't think anyone can argue that it doesn't. But why should players be banned for wanting to use it on a console? Not only that, using a keyboard and mouse isn't a guarantee that you will automatically win. There's still some degree of skill required even up against some above average controller players. The one issue I have with this topic is why are people only rioting against keyboard and mouse. There are third party sellers that make unofficial and even official controllers like the Xbox Elite controller. The elite controller offers more buttons, customization, and options versus the regular controller. Nobody talks about how players that use this should be banned. The way I see it, if nobody has a problem with these more "competitive" controllers then the same rule should apply for keyboard and mouse.
 
These "elite" controllers will cost you a pretty penny, and the same goes for the device that allows players to use keyboard and mouse on console. Either way they are available to the public to purchase. Before you go and say "well you can buy cheats and hacks, does that mean that is okay too?" No it isn't, because cheats and hacks go beyond to break the game's parameters to give unfair advantages. Going back to my earlier point, using a keyboard and mouse on console is only the first step. A player still needs to play the game afterwards and within the rules. They're not immune, have god mode enabled, wall hacks, or aim bot. They still need to setup shots and position themselves if they want to win.
 
I think it's weird how in other types of games like fighting games no one complains about fightsticks. There aren't any controller players saying fightstick users should be banned. The opinion over there is "if you don't like that your opponent is using a fightstick, then get one of your own." I see the keyboard and mouse case as the same thing. Sure, it's annoying to get killed by someone that I know is using keyboard and mouse. If I wanted to level the playing field then I'll get an adapter, but I'm too lazy for that.
 
I'll ask anyways while knowing the possible outcome: What do you think about using a keyboard and mouse on console?

New Update

Welp, the change most of us has been waiting for has finally came, well part of it. Reducing the size of the clip is a good idea (for the Compact SMG) but is still having a fast rate of fire. The drum gun’s damage has also dropped significantly from longer ranges. Who uses the Drum Gun for long range though? It doesn’t have first shot accuracy and the bloom can get huge. They also decreased the chance of getting it by 40%. That confuses me. Why did they do that? Wood, Stone, and Metal has also been buffed, which was needed, but meaning that Wood is still able to be knocked down with two pickaxe swings. Brick and Metal, on the other hand, need three swings of a pickaxe to get knocked down. What are your thoughts on this update? Was it successful in stopping spam weapons or did it only win a battle in a war? What about the material buffs? Was it useful? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for reading!

POPULARWhy Fortnite Battle Royale will be DEAD by Season 6

1. Fortnite has too many updates. Some of which are necessary, like bug fixes and adding new places on the map, but having one every week and nerfing popular strategies like building and buffing spray weapons is a bit overkill

2. Taking out double pump and adding in the shotgun switch timing mechanism. After making pump shotguns to where you can’t get a one hit kill was enough. Yet they still made them completely irrelevant by nerfing them time and time again.

3. Changing the gaming playstyles to the point that getting a compact submachine gun or a drum gun makes you a walking tank. I think the drum gun was a good addition to add so you could pair it with a pump or tac shotgun but adding the compact with a fire rate of 11 and a clip size of 50 was unneeded. Then they decided to nerf wall health to the point you could hold the trigger and walk through any build on the map which is just annoying in itself.

4. Even Ninja said it himself. A shotgun buff is heavily needed to even out the playing field. The game isn’t fun to play anymore with people getting compacts and drum guns and just spamming you with endless bullets. It takes no skill to hold the trigger and aim. Epic catering to the new players has gone overboard and now people who have taken the time and effort to get better at building have just wasted their time.

In my honest opinion players who take the time to get good should be the people who get the sought after Victory Royale, not the players who hold the trigger and run towards someone.

Fortnite needs to chill with the updates

As most of you know, Fortnite just released a new shotgun. Of course, this follows the non-stop changes we've seen to shotguns, most notably the removal of the double pump. It's not just shotguns receiving updates either. For example, the guided missile recently made its return to the game.
 
I love that Epic is trying to hit us with fresh content, but for the love of God can you just chill and try to balance things? Right now it seems like your approach to balancing is to release increasingly OP weapons and then remove them from the game once the community complains too much. Sometimes it's better to tweak some numbers and let the meta settle than to constantly throw everything into chaos.
