Fortnite

The FTC is sending 629,344 payments totaling more than $72 million to Fortnite players in the U.S. who were charged for unwanted purchases and filed a valid claim by October 8, 2024.

If you filed a claim after October 8, you don’t need to do anything else right now. The FTC is still reviewing claims filed after that date and will provide more information soon. Epic Games, the company responsible for Fortnite, agreed to pay money to settle FTC allegations related to in-game purchases.

According to the FTC, the company unlawfully charged players for unwanted purchases, let children rack up unauthorized charges without their parents’ permission, and blocked some users who disputed wrongful charges from accessing their purchased content.

If at all... I love it, overall

• it's been really hard to get a win (in a good way)
• the healing is sparse
• the map has big open areas
• the weapons hits real hard

Got a couple of good games today. The only thing is that the players aren't spread enough so even though the ambiance is really enjoyable, when you want some action it can be a bit dull.

Oh and snipers are back wohow!

Anybody excited for Chapter 2 Remix?

I am excited for the map, but the battlepass skins are absolutely atrocious.

Additionally, if help is needed with this sub, I am more than happy to help.

Finally beaten the final challenge of this game. Knew it would be hard, but good god the amount of leechers afkers and other scum of StonePlanCanTwine was too high to handle them alone. So last leg felt very refreshing with at least 1 teammate on my side, who will launch any missions immediately and not after 10 mins. Although with challenges done the game is pretty much finished for me. The only other goals are maxing survivors and the book. Which can be easily done together like in year or two. And that's pretty scary to think about.

The Fortnite v30.20 patch has arrived, introducing a brand new mode called Reload. With a smaller map featuring classic locations and weapons, Reload is merging new and old to give players a fresh experience.

Below, you'll find everything you need to know about Fortnite's v30.20 update, including details of Reload mode and the unvaulted weapons returning to the loot pool.

Try a New Map in Fortnite Reload Mode

Starting with the v30.20 patch, a new experience called Fortnite Reload will be added to the game. This Squad-based mode features 40 players per match, with classic locations like Tilted Towers, and Retail Row returning on a new, smaller map.

Unlike regular Battle Royale matches, you'll automatically reboot when eliminated in Reload, as long as one of your teammates remains alive. Reboot timers start at 30 seconds, but this can be reduced if your remaining teammates eliminate other players.

There will also be a selection of classic weapons including the Revolver, the OG Heavy Shotgun, the Infantry Rifle, and the Rocket Launcher to add to your loadout in this new mode.

Fortnite Reload goes live on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 2 PM ET.

Earn Free Rewards With Fortnite Reload Quests

To celebrate the arrival of Fortnite Reload, a new set of challenges has arrived. These introductory quests are designed to get you stuck into Reload mode, with each one offering 20,000 XP when finished.

There are also free rewards to unlock, including the Digital Dogfight Contrail for completing three quests, the Pool Cubes Wrap for completing six quests, and the Nana Bath Back Bling for completing nine quests. Score a Victory Royale in Fortnite Reloaded, and you'll get the Rezzbrella Glider.

More Weapons Have Been Unvaulted

Over in regular Battle Royale mode, Remote Explosives and the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle have been added back to the loot pool.

You can purchase Remote Explosives from the NPCs Bravo Leader, Brite Raider, Drakon Steel Rider, and Vengeance Jones for 300 Gold Bars. You can purchase a Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle from the NPCs Artemis and Hope for 300 Gold Bars.

Jack Sparrow Arrives in Pirates of the Caribbean Crossover

The latest crossover to arrive in Fortnite as part of the v30.20 patch is Disney's popular movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean. The **Cursed Sails Pass is available to purchase for 1,000 V-Bucks **and features a Captain Jack Sparrow skin as well as matching cosmetics.

Shortly after the Fortnite v30.20 patch went live, the Cursed Sails Pass was removed from the Item Shop. It's currently unclear when it will return.

Wasn't doing that a few days ago as far as I noticed...

The new battle pass is out and I am probably not gonna pay for this one, despite my Fallout love. The last one was too hard to level up to 200, and I'm not really interested in any of the skins this season. Power armor without...armor...is just kinda dumb. The other skins are boring, and even the Magneto seems like a lame cash grab. I'm just not that interested.

pull the trigger, 
miss the player, get shot in the head,

What a pain.

Does this community need a bot to post the daily item shop contents?

If so, I can make one.

Ui is a bit to busy. Plus side Fortnitemares is back.

Only good skin in this battle pass IMO. My biggest fortnite regret was not getting c2s2 battle pass and original meowscles. I have every battle pass skin since then and I would trade them all for meowscles.

Is anyone else using Postparty?

I'd like to post some of my bloopers, but I don't know how to make them available on Lemmy.

Do you play Ranked?
What rank are you? How far did you drop at reset?

Mythic MK, Mythic cloaking, new augments and more.

This confirmed a few things I suspected, but also surprised me, especially cars being visual at only 75 meters

The boomerang is awesome. The DPS doesn't feel great, but the homing is hilarious. I got lucky and managed to kill a duo with a single throw.

I'm gonna be so sad when they vault this thing.
