In the spirit of lunar new yr, Fortnite Battle Royale at this time set off oh so many fireworks. Its weekly content material replace has added the brand new ‘Bottle Rockets’ merchandise, which is extra extravagant than it sounds. When set down and sparked, this deployable doodad will spit 45 fireworks over 9 seconds with gentle abandon, damaging gamers and buildings caught within the broad goal zone. It’s a weapon of suppression and distraction, I suppose, but additionally fireworks. Are fireworks not motive sufficient? Why combat when share the innate similar human need to show our heads to the skies, alternately coo “ooh!” and “aah!”, and gulp down chemical smoke?

I do know I’d actually panic if somebody had been launching barrages of fireworks at my shack.

Find one, mild it, and heal all close by people. Each campfire can solely be used as soon as, so in case you discover a burnt-out one you’ll know somebody has been via right here. As if the ramps, holes in partitions, and ransacked chests weren’t trace sufficient.
Epic at the moment are experimenting with working restricted time modes for shorter durations, rotating “every couple of days” reasonably than the same old week or so. They say it will “allow a more diverse amount of modes to be available over the course of a week.” This kicks off at this time with Wild West Duos, the place the one weapons are rootin’ tootin’ ones like looking rifles, shotguns, dynamite, and, coming back from the vault of eliminated gadgets, the revolver and double barrel shotgun.
