Appreciation topic

Hey everyone!

Added my gameplay vid is just for context - I know you grinders can fight 100x better ;D

I'm 33, soon 34. I've played different games my whole life and always loved competitive gaming... Around 3 years ago I discovered Fortnite after reading local Latvian news about Merstach, his achievements and earnings and it inspired me to try.

I remember watching different pros on Twitch and I was shocked how hard that game actually is .. and it made me want to keep playing and get better.

Back then I couldn't even made a proper single edit ;D Today, I can comfortably play 1v1's, reach Unreal etc. and I've even started playing tournaments. I totally understand that I'm not great, and I know I probably won't achieve anything in this game, but I absolutely love the competition feeling, having to think about every move. As one bad edit, reset or missed shot can cost you a lot.

And I think it's worth to tell you all again to remember that there are people like me in those lobbies too - grown adults with jobs, families and limited time, who simply love this game and enjoy competing.

So I just want to say thank you to everyone who keeps grinding and keeps Fortnite competitive at such a high level. And to anyone just starting - if I can keep improving as a dad of 3, full-time job, barely any time to play, you can absolutely do it much better than me! Keep the right mindset and enjoy the grind!

Keep going, warriors!

I shoudn't have lost this fight. What could I have done differently?

For context, this was 2nd round of EU FNCS solo qualifies (top 8k). I W-Keyed entire tournament to practice fighting. Just want to know where I went wrong.

Best way to Improve in your experience

Hello, I like Fortnite but suck at building really bad.

I want to hear everyone's experiences on how they got better. I try watching YouTube videos about it and it just all seems like the same video copy and pasted. Is the best way to really just play against better players any chance you get?

My struggles are as follows:

  • Panicking - I don't know what to do in actual fights even after practicing builds in creative. It feels like a blur when I start seeing the opponent build
  • Awareness - I tend to not know where the opponent is and it feels difficult trying to know where they are.
  • General Building concepts - I watch tons of tutorials, but they all teach different ways to approach fighting and don't mention things I see in this subreddit like "Right-Hand peeks"
  • Playstyle - I struggle with knowing when to W key and play defensive.

If anyone has tips or videos ANYTHING HELPS!

And thank you for reading

PSA: If you, like me, were concerned about the FNCS Kicks (from viewing FNCS on Twitch for 30m) never appearing, try following these steps, which worked for me:

  1. I closed my game—just for good measure.

  2. I went to my Settings on EpicGames.com

  3. I went to “Linked Accounts,” where Twitch was listed.

  4. I chose to “Unlink” my Twitch account from my Epic account, which explicitly warned that I would lose access to Twitch-related rewards.

  5. I linked Twitch to my Epic account once again.

  6. I checked my Twitch account’s ”Drops & Rewards” again for good measure. The Champion’s Chargers FNCS Kicks were indeed still listed as a claimed item.

  7. When I reopened Fortnite I was notified that I now had the FCNS Kicks.

Why are nitrofists in reload ranked?

I got 15 kills in a ranked game because of these things, and they've clutched so many wins because of me combining them with any shotgun or just repeatly slamming onto people's heads or uppercutting into boxes. I know I could just not pick them up, but what about when someone else has them? There's been multiple lootpool changes with these still surviving each time. At least it's only Oasis but still
