Now right here’s an esport I can get behind. Fortnite Chapter 2 introduced a reasonably first rate fishing mini-game to Epic’s battle royale, and now it’s time to show who’s one of the best at sitting patiently subsequent to a puddle. Pack your sandwiches and placed on these waders. Fishing Frenzy is kicking off a high-stakes weekend of baiting and ready, with some real-life loot up for grabs when you snag essentially the most fish.
Now, isn’t that a lot nicer than taking pictures one another up?
Expect this weekend’s Fortnite games to be rather more relaxed. Fishing Frenzy will award a real-life, engraved Llama trophy to 1 persistent fisher per server area who catches essentially the most fish over the following few days. There are prizes for flat-out netting essentially the most fish, with additional classes for reeling in essentially the most Small Fry, Floppers and Slurpfish. You’ll additionally immediately snag a flowery Bottom Feeder pickaxe for hooking a Mythic Goldfish.
That’s an in-game prize. Epic gained’t mail you mining gear.
Anyone who picks up a rod in the course of the occasion may even obtain a participation prize, within the type of a “Play to win” sticker. Fishing Frenzy additionally provides the Triggerfish pores and skin to the merchandise retailer, in case you fancy being a gun-slinging goldfish for a bit.
Of course, all these gamers taking time to cease and check out their luck also needs to make for loads of stationary targets. If you’re the kinda jackass who’s up for ruining some enjoyable, I’m certain it’ll really feel identical to taking pictures fish(ers) in a barrel.
You’ll must have two-factor authentication enabled in your account to take part, whereas extra phrases and that may be perused over on the Fishing Frenzy announcement. The occasion kicks off at this time and runs ’til 1am on Monday morning UK time (8pm Sunday, ET).
No prizes for utilizing a harpoon gun, both. That’s dishonest.
