Fortnite Battle Royale Season 9 has arrived, and together with it, the long run. Neon cities have popped up across the map. A community of massive ringed buildings propel folks by the skies. There is a brand new shotgun.
Before we get into all that, although, you must watch what occurs to this banana.
The second I noticed him I actually hoped they have been going to lean in to the horror. Have him wither, blacken, flip into gross mushy slop whereas soldier boy holds him in his arms and cries. This was even higher.
Anyway! The patch notes embody an excessive amount of stuff for me to cowl, so listed here are the highlights.
This is the primary time I’ve performed for ages so I can solely level on the futuristic stuff and go ‘ooh that’s new’.
Ooh, that’s neo. Tilted Towers has been rebuilt into Neo Tilted. Apparently I took my eye off Fortnite for just a few months and it got destroyed by a volcano. The means the Fortnite devs inject storytelling into their map updates proceed to impress.
I visited there first. Then I acquired killed right away as a result of I’m fairly positive that place has at all times been a deathzone initially, and is now even busier due to vacationers like me. I preferred the glimpse I acquired, although. It’s that tremendous clear, utopian model of futurism. Like Sunset Overdrive, however much less orange.
For my subsequent life I plunged straight right into a slipstream subsequent to Mega Mall, previously Retail Row, additionally destroyed and now rebuilt due to that volcano.
I didn’t really go to as a result of I used to be having an excessive amount of enjoyable within the slipstream, as a substitute simply driving alongside a buddy who could have had the very same thought course of as me. It was beautiful. The slipstreams stretch proper across the map, and are just like the Futurerama tubes besides open-air and folks can and can shoot you with weapons.
Then I noticed a hoverboard, so ditched my buddy and rode round doing stunts on that for a bit. (Dave has since advised me these have been round since season 7. He is aware of far more than me, so right here’s his information to Season 9’s Fortnite season 9 week 1 challenges. Then I ditched the hoverboard for a llama, besides I couldn’t trip the llama and as a substitute smashed it to bits for loot. This game is bizarre.
Oh, and the shotgun I discussed is a “Combat Shotgun”. It’s semi-automatic, holds ten shells, and reloads two of them at a time. I’d argue all shotguns are fight shotguns however w/e. More information on that, as nicely all the brand new cosmetics and Battle Pass guff, could be present in the patch notes.
I haven’t paid consideration to Fortnite for a protracted whereas as a result of if I did I wouldn’t have a lot time to concentrate to anything. I’d forgotten the map modifications are wild, and the way a lot I take pleasure in these foolish trailers. I’m praising advertising and marketing. Eugh. Someone take this keyboard off me.
