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.

It's the default once you have the latest patch installed. The difference is night and day from what it was.

markcahill1985 · 23-02-2018 1:14pm

Excellent..loking forward to getting stuck in. Anyone looking to play squads on ps4 then feel free to add away.

markcahill1985 · 24-02-2018 1:04pm

On now for most of day on ps4 if anyone fancies some squads. Game looks amazing since update.

MadYaker · 24-02-2018 1:42pm

Strange game last night. It was my first win in ages but I couldn't find any players for most of it. I only got 6 kills and the last guy fell off a cliff and died to give me the win!

The game is looking and running very nicely with that update.

KilOit · 24-02-2018 3:10pm

Playing this on PC, looking to squad up, feel free to add Kitaaz

DeSelby83 · 24-02-2018 3:53pm

Does this make anyone's else ps4 run like a jet engine? This runs like that for me way more than any other game.

Its not a very demanding game hardware wise. Could be dust in your console or something?

I had thought that but it doesn't happen with any of my other games. I'm sure my ps4 could do with a dusting out alright.

Withrax · 24-02-2018 6:03pm

Same for me the PS4 gets quite hot even if its just on the menu

brianregan09 · 24-02-2018 10:35pm

Does anyone know if Early Access on PS4 has finished? Haven't played it in a while and just tried loading a game but no joy. Couldn't find the early access end date on Google

I've sent a request to both of you, I'm delly.x

Got down to the last 4 in a game yesterday, I was panic shooting and building all over the place but managed to get down to the last 2. Then the zone got me and I fell off a cliff. The worse thing is that the last played looked just as nooby as me so I stood a real chance of winning.

I've got to last 2 as well, i panicked and was building arse ways and the other guy just shot the floor and and fell to my death, he had no kills and was just hiding for the last 2 circles.

brianregan09 · 26-02-2018 11:40pm

It was down but its back now

It’s still early access Pete, but it’s fully playable. I’ve never been left long waiting on a game. Think the servers were down for a period tonight.

delly · 27-02-2018 12:22am

Just had the most bizarre experience. I landed on the mountaintop between Snobby Shores and Greasy Grove. I got into the attic first and got a minigun from the chest. I was lucky to kill the first guy who came up, but ran out of ammo for the second. They chased me down the mountain all the way to the cliff and kept trying to hit me with the pickaxe, I eventually got away to Greasy Grove and picked up a shotgun just as they caught up and killed them, but talk about not letting it go.

brianregan09 · 27-02-2018 12:29am

Sounds like something I'd do haha

kwestfan08 · 01-03-2018 11:58am

The one day im off with the snow and its down for maintainence lol.

brianregan09 · 02-03-2018 2:57am

Updates every thursday with new challenges an stuff for battlepass owners

MadYaker · 02-03-2018 5:35pm

I don't think I've ever killed anyone with the pickaxe. I usually stay on the bus as long as possible so I don't run into other players until I'm ready.

DeSelby83 · 03-03-2018 12:17pm

I don't think I've ever killed anyone....

delly · 03-03-2018 1:26pm

I've waited for the auto kick off the bus before and you always get some afk people. Easiest kills in a match.

Watched my son play it today and he thought of the same thing. Waited and seen that it was him and another guy, so dives down to a house to get a gun, walks out the front door to find where the guy landed, only for said guy to shoot him in the face. I shat myself... :pac:

brianregan09 · 04-03-2018 12:01am

Nah I never wait till the end places like Fatal Fields , Motel are where you should get off the bus at , get into a house and grab a gun , Don't ever land in Tilted Towers because at least 50% of the players land there and you won't last a second

jamescd · 04-03-2018 3:36am

Nah, Tilted Towers is a thing of the past. It's all about Wailing Woods now. If you've purchased the Battle Pass, one of the challenges this week is to open 7 chests in Wailing Woods. There's only up to 3 chests in there, and at times 10 or 15 people will land there to fight for said chests. If you're looking for a bloodbath, that's the place to go. If you land there early and get a gun, then you can walk out with a hefty amount of kills since there will be a lot of unarmed players.

Just go in with squad no fill and generally only 1 or none land there if you just want the achievement

ShatterProof · 04-03-2018 7:36pm

Small fellow want to play save the world but told him it will be free this year, any guess when??

I know he won't wait till it free but he tells me if I buy it for him he'll get 3 passes as he can give 2 to his mates. Is this true?

Ta.

05-03-2018 11:30am

Got the young lad the battle pass. He has his heart set on getting the Dark Voyager which is tier 70. He hasn't a hope, even with me helping him the grind is unreal - and that is with a 60%-80% boost that comes with the pass. I can see this game becoming an issue. He'll want a battle pass for next season. Not sure how much money I should let him pump into this. People keep saying isn't it great that it's free, it's absolutely nothing without the battle pass and there's a definite pay to get to the end aspect to it. Although it's all only cosmetics but the game is all about the cred that comes with the cosmetics. Very clever I have to admit, avoid the controversy by making purchases cosmetic only but then make the game all about the cosmetics.

declank90 · 05-03-2018 7:00pm

Yep I'm being cheap and grinding v-bucks from Save The World for the battle pass. I prefer STW though over BR.

TheBoyFromAus · 05-03-2018 7:55pm

Fair play to the devs, they know how to claw back their money from a free game. Personally, i wont be arsed spending money on cosmetic items.

klose · 05-03-2018 8:39pm

Downloaded it last week after hearing a few friends mention it and often seeing videos on Facebook related to it and I must say it's the most fun I've had playing online in years, good old simple fun.

jamescd · 05-03-2018 8:47pm

I bought the Battle Pass for the Season 2 and you were able to earn more than 1,000 vbucks in rewards as you level up. The price for Season 3 Battle Pass is still 950 vbucks so if you earned the 1,000 vbucks from season 2 rewards, then you don't have to pay a single cent for the Season 3 one. Epic has also stated that future Battle Passes will also still be 950 vbucks, so really you only have to pay real money for the battle pass once. You just need to play enough to earn at least 950 vbucks to buy the next one.

The daily challenges in season 2 were very easy to do. Most days I would get them done in under 20 minutes. I got to Tier 70 with like 15 days to spare. This season, by Tier 59 you will have earned 1,000 vbucks. And only 2 weeks in, I'm already at Tier 42. So only 17 more Tiers until I have earned enough vbucks to pay for the next one. The Battle Pass is very good value imo, you only have to pay €9.99 once and for future battle passes you just use the vbucks rewards you earn.

Joeseph Balls · 05-03-2018 9:25pm

Havnt paid a cent for the game yet and was thinking of getting the battle pass. Above post made my mind up, thanks

Blanchy90 · 06-03-2018 9:07am

First solo win last night

I really need to start building more, I got down to the last 7 and I had the high ground. Was very close to dying from someone with an ar in the distance so I threw up a quick base and thats what helped me win

DyldeBrill · 06-03-2018 10:23am

Bought the new battle pass when it first came out. It's probably one of the only games I play so it's the least I could have done.

If anyone is playing on PS4 add me on Dyl_Redmondo.

Some people are very good at the game and progression favours the more skilled. I'd come myself an average player and I find the grind weighted too heavily against the player and more in favour of inticing money out of you. Nobody can deny them the right to make a profit on the game but I do feel a little more weighted towards your average Joe and they could have a real winner here.

Harambe · 06-03-2018 12:22pm

I am 100% addicted to this now. Can't wait to get home from work every evening to play it.
Still haven't won a game but have finished 2nd a few times in squad and duo.

Blanchy90 · 06-03-2018 12:34pm

If anyone is on xbox im Blanchy090

Wouldn't mind playing some squads

Joeseph Balls · 06-03-2018 1:42pm

What's everyone's stats like?
Iv got:
2 solo
1 duo
20 squad

TheBoyFromAus · 06-03-2018 2:23pm

2 Solo 3 Squad I think. Always have difficulty at the end when building comes into it.

I only play Squads for the challenges, such as "Outlive 150 opponents in Squad Mode" or "Place Top 6 in Squads" since I don't have a squad to play with. I always No Fill i.e. play solo, because I just find it easier to do challenges that way. And I somehow ended up winning 3 times by myself when all I wanted to do was finish the squad challenges as I said lol.

The best one had to be when I wiped an entire 4 man squad by myself for the win. They all had scars and 2 of them had RPG's. Probably the most satisfying win of them all, solos and duos wins included. I was literally screaming like a little girl after I won lol.

brianregan09 · 06-03-2018 3:40pm

Yeah I'd say myself I'm pretty skilled at killing and surviving in general , its the building that screws me over in solo , have no problem in squads when one of the other lads he's a master builder hides my weakness

Hazys · 06-03-2018 6:52pm

Downloaded this last week. I'm pretty sh1t so i play squad games so the other teammates can carry me and it gives me time to practice and get better. Squad play is either great fun or extremely annoying depending on the team of randomers you get. If you end up with a good team and you last a long time and get down to the last handful of teams its good fun. If you end up with a sh1t team, you quickly find yourself on your own running up against squads of 4 and you are basically fcuked, you can't even get a kill because their teammates will just revive them after they kill you.

Funnily enough I won on my third time playing squad play in the most ridiculous way as i didn't have a clue how to play (i've never played first person shooters before not to mention battle royale-type games). Basically i landed with a very good team and the first time i died in this game, i thought it was over, i didn't even know teammates could revive me lol, they end up reviving me 2 more times. At one stage in the game, i was trapped on the bottom floor of a fort my guys had built and i didn't know how to get out. I was trapped for at least a few minutes while my teammates were in what appeared to be multiple battles. Eventually as the storm came, i figured out that i could use my pickaxe to smash through the walls.

Anyway the team survives to fight the only other team left despite carrying this idiot who has 0 kills, died 3 times and was trapped inside his own fort for a couple of minutes. All 3 teammates got out and charged at the opposition team (i follow a few seconds later as i had trouble jumping over a fence). Two teammates die but not after taking out all but one surviving enemy. So that leaves me and one teammate against one enemy. The teammate and enemy go at it, trading shots and i while standing still, miss every shot as the enemy guys jumps around. The enemy eventually kills my teammate and starts unloading on me, i get one fluky shot to land and i win! (i had only 10% energy left) My first ever kill and it won the squad match!

Thanks. I do indeed. I have a PS4 too, but haven't started playing Fortnite on it yet. Mostly because the left thumb stick on my Scuf controller is broken.
