    10-12eu for skins is,not bad, BUT I expect a really damn good quality!

    I have payed in lol 10 or 15eu for Chogal legendary skin, but it came with new animations, voices etc. Just for a reskin, 10eu is taking a piss.

    Found surviving in squads much easier than in solo last night for some reason thinking it may be that when your on your own in squads you much more cautious and done get into to many gun fights because there is a good chance you'll lose.

    Played two squad matches solo and placed third in the first game and second in the next (got it down to 1v1 but the dude just about got me)

    I think its because when you drop alone in squads and stick to some of the more isolated areas (hill tops etc.) squads figure that there's not enough loot in those areas to get enough stuff for them.

    Also the race track seems to be a good drop point that not many hit, usually at least 2 if not 3 chests and a bunch of weapons and ammo around!

    honestly have no idea, challenges to build to certain points etc on a map might be a bit of fun

    I really like the new mode. I hope it becomes a permanent feature in the game.

    Did you make an epic account or "local" account?

    Pretty sure you an use the epic account on all 3 albeit with different names.

    Epic account. People still have issue with this. The only option is a whole new email, just for one more epic account. This is pure pain in a gap for someone like me who has all 4 current gaming platforms.

    I have it on ps4 and Xbox its good on both.

    I'd say start off by going to less populated areas until you get used to the controls

    It's a brilliant game if you can get a few mates and do squads with


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,961 ✭✭✭markcahill1985


    There isn't a squad thread I presume? None of my mates play, if any randomers looking for a squad up feel free to add me (PSN markcahill1985)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    I'm down for squads but unfortunately I'm on PC. I have a PS4 too but I'm already used to playing it on the PC. Im up to 80+ wins now (about 40+ on solos and the rest in duos/squads). Anyone want to play duos/squads on PC, just let me know.

    Consoles are getting 60fps in the next update for Battle Royale.

    Personally i dont like the building aspect of the game but i can see why others do enjoy it.
    I prefer the realism of PUBG myself.
    My young lad is an absolute wizard at fortnite on console, hes up to 42 wins now.
    He played it on my PC recently and was shocked at how smooth 144fps is compared to console so he will welcome the upcoming 60fps.

    Officially the game is more popular than PUBG now which is amazing.

    I play with an uncapped framerate on PS4 Pro and it's fairly decent, I'd say it drops to 40-45 in really busy moments but I don't really think it affects the smoothness of the gameplay all that much. Better than 30fps cap option in my opinion, very useful in combat.

    If they manage to achieve a 60fps lock (or close to it) then it would be excellent!

    Is anyone else having major lag and lockup issues with the latest patch? I'm on PC and while my specs are not the latest and greatest, I have always managed to play without issue up to now.

    The season 3 update is brilliant, 60fps just makes everything look and feel so much better!

    Mrs away for say tomorrow so looking forward to a full day of it. Does the 60 fps come automatically or do you have to change settings.
