When the Events tab first appeared in Fortnite, it was a sign of things to come. Clearly the style of play and the huge fan base was going to see Fortnite become a massive eSports hit. At first we started to see mock tournaments appear where people could start testing out their skills. Then real events began and things started to get serious. It was only in the last issue we were talking about a huge Fortnite tournament in Australia. At the Australian Open of Tennis some of the country’s best players gathered in Melbourne to show off their skills. We wonder now how many of those players will go on to compete at the Fortnite World Cup? So what do we know? The qualifiers will run from April 13 to June…

Few weapons in Fortnite are as fun as the new Pirate Cannon. Behaving much like the now vaulted Shopping Cart, you can move these things around the battlefield, aim them, and fire balls or players about the world. The former does 100 damage with a direct shot, or 50 damage in its area-of-effect (which is very small), making it a handy tool for revealing turtled enemy squads. With unlimited ammo, it’s only the slow loading time you need to negotiate. HERE ARE SOME MORE TIPS TO GET YOU STARTED: • The cannon excels at structural damage. Try looking for loadbearing parts of enemy builds and blast them out. • The pirate cannon can actually be used as a quick means to get your entire squad out of harm’s way or…

For quite a long time, Fortnite fans had suspected an earthquake was coming to our beloved island and with it some major changes to the map. So, despite being very exciting indeed, it was not a surprise when the ground started to shake. Then when a giant crack opened up just southwest of Tomato Temple, followed by smaller cracks in other locations, it seemed everyone was right. But there were other events afoot! After weeks of melting away, the iceberg that covered Polar Peak finally revealed the secret it had hidden deep within. It was a magical fire being who was chained up and trapped in the ice. Known as The Prisoner, it was the heat coming off this character that had seen the ice melt. However, it wasn’t long…

WHY DID YOU START PLAYING FORTNITE AND HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD GO PRO? I originally wanted a harder challenge than I was getting in the average PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) game. I soon discovered I had great aim, a skill that was transferred from my experience in PUBG. So I started to participate in daily scrims for squads. Shortly after that I started to get consistently great results in scrims and Sunday tournaments. This was when I figured I could probably be a professional Fortnite player. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WAY THE FORTNITE WORLD CUP HAS BEEN SET UP? With two months of qualifications, a weekly prize pool of one million dollars, and the incredible $30 million final prize pool, it’s safe to say Epic Games has…

We’ve already taken you through the biggest, most obvious changes to the Fortnite map for Season 8, but there are plenty more to go and discover. Here is a quick guide to the other significant changed locations. TOMATO TEMPLE: While this iconic location has been all but hidden by the nearby volcano and its jungle, a ruin remains that vaguely resembles its former self. It’s no longer a named location, but you can find it south of the volcano. RESEARCH HUTS: The scientists that used to be hard at work in Dusty Divot have expanded their operations, and you can find their camps scattered about the jungle biome. ACID SPRINGS: In the far north above the volcano is a strange piece of land that looks almost dead. There is some…

How much time have you been spending in Creative Mode? To be honest, we’ve actually spent more time exploring the islands of other players than we have creating our own. There are some extremely talented people out there and they keep taking Fortnite in bizarre new directions. KEY ADDITIONS Since we last caught up, the Fortnite Creative Mode has continued to expand with even more tweaks and changes than we’ve seen in the main Battle Royale mode. Naturally, additions like the Driftboard, Infantry Rifle and Pirate Cannons have all become available in the Creative Mode. The Glider Redeploy, that had been removed, has returned, too. More exciting is the addition of size adjustment functionality for props. You can now make objects in the world three times bigger or three times…

It was with no fanfare that developer Respawn Entertainment released Apex Legends in February, 2019. The famous developer, whose created the Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and Titanfall series, had been working on a battle royale game in secret for two years. As soon as it launched, players were interested, and it surged to 25 million players in little more than a week. In fact, it was being downloaded at a faster rate than Fortnite. Could it actually be the Fortnite killer? As it turns out, the two games are quite different from each other. In fact, you can happily play both and have very different experiences. Unlike Fortnite, Apex Legends is about hero gameplay. Not every player has the same abilities and skills, and instead there are different…

Fortnite is a little bit partial to playing sport. There’s basketball courts, a golf course, golf karts, an ice hockey puck and more to be found in the game. But Epic Games took it to the next level at the Australian Open of Tennis in mid-January. Not only was a new tennis-themed skin released, alongside a racquet that could be used for harvesting resources, but an eSports tournament was hosted right there on the courts. And being that it was all happening in Australia, it was a chance for many of us to see our country’s best players in action against special invitees from around the world. At one point over 20,000 concurrent viewers were watching the Fortnite Summer Smash tournament, not to mention all the people that were there…

With a new jungle biome and a seismic shift to the whole north-eastern region of the island, there are plenty of visual changes to the Fortnite world in Season 8. But there are other tweaks, additions and adjustments you need to get your head around if you are going to continue to earn those wonderful victory royales. So what’s out, what’s in and what’s changed since our last issue? Let’s dive in. A SMALL, BUT VITAL BATTLE PASS CHANGE For the most part, the Battle Pass system has remained the same for Season 8. There’s still 100 levels to make your way through, with rewards every step of the way. However, there is one vital shift and that is the new Party Assist feature. Whenever you start a match, you…

As soon as the snow biome arrived in Season 7, Fortnite fans had hoped a snowboard would come into play. There were hints on the slopes that some kind of device to help you get down the mountains would be coming, but its release ended up being delayed. In fact, it didn’t see the light of day until the end of Season 7, at which point the snow that once covered the entire map was restricted to just the southwest of the map. But Epic Games has a plan to combat the lack of snow: the Driftboard. It’s basically like the hoverboard from Back to the Future, allowing it to go over any surface in the game. It controls just like normal walking, but it moves a lot faster, of…

Let’s take a closer look at the latest players lucky enough to have their Islands picked out by Epic Games to star in the Battle Royale mode. Analysing what the developer selects can give us great insights into what Epic Games is looking for: LUNAR STREET FESTIVAL BY NIBLL: The selection of this map showed that Epic Games likes maps that are themed to real world events, in this case the Chinese New Year. It’s a great map, too, with an awesome shopping district at the front, long corridors under the buildings for brutal combat and big towers for height. OILY OAKS BY MRSLICKWILLYZ: This map showed that Epic Games likes maps that stick to a theme and put a lot of attention into the details to make it work.…
