Since the summer
of 2017, Fortnite has become one of the most popular, talked about cross
platform games in the industry, catering to gamers of all ages who enjoy,
action role play and third person shooter games. Epic Games Battle Royale
- a favourite mode to play is currently showcasing
- Chapter 2 – Season 6 Primal until next month, with raptor dinosaurs, wolves,
chickens, wild boars, and frogs roaming the map – a great addition to the game
for animal lovers. Every 90 days fans anticipate a new Battle Pass with new
skins, emotes, and opportunities to earn v-bucks. As Season 6 draws to a close in
less than 3 weeks, there are a number of rumoured releases circulating which
fans may see, as well as some highly anticipated comebacks that we all know and
love so well, and truly miss!
Celebrity
features
Earlier
this week Gaming news and entertainment website – IGN revealed that we may see
an array of celebrity skins added to
Chapter 2 Season 7, high profiled celebrity delayed collaborations scheduled
for release last year may soon appear, including Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, NBA
star LeBron James, and Wrestler the Rock. Really great additions, which fuelled
speculation that they may also be featured in the storyline. Players also
voiced their love for the Drake emote ‘Toosie Slide,’ so it would be a no
brainer that a Drake skin would be an absolute hit too!
Goodbye cross
platform play!
One
of the most important changes fans are crying out for is the end to cross
platform play – the ability of PlayStations and Xbox users playing with PC
gamers. Many will know that it is really easy to build a basic wall at the
click of a button on PC during Battle Royale, but it is a longer process on
console. Look out for an email survey from Epic Games allowing you to express
your concerns and opinions on how to improve game play and tailoring sessions
to match your ability with players of similar skill, so you are closer to
achieving Victory Royale’s, in solo, duo, trio, or squad modes. Epic Games are
really taking into account player feedback for future updates.
Previous season
skins
For
a limited time only fans would greatly appreciate the return of old skins such
as Luxe from Chapter 1 Season 8, or the opportunity to do challenges to win one
of the top ranked 35 Best Fortnite skins. It would also be great to see the
return of the Henchmen from the Authority. We love them!
Free v-bucks
‘Dad,
can I have more v-bucks?’ soon our younger Fortnite players won’t have to ask
Mum or Dad for more v-bucks, if Epic Games introduce more ways to win more. Do
you think it would be fair to say you should win 25 v-bucks for a Victory
Royale? Or better still 30 v-bucks for more than 7 eliminations in one match?
As it stands at the moment you can gain up to 900 v-bucks when you purchase a
Season Battle Pass if you reach level 100. We would love Epic Games to
introduce more ways to stack up v-bucks for item shop purchases.
Customizable
skins
Released
in July 2019 The Banner Trooper skin
was a firm favourite in Fortnite, as part of the Banner Brigade set, at just
800 v-bucks you can change the colour of your banner icon in your locker which
allows you to wear your chosen colour for your t-shirt and cap, great for squad
games with your team.
Map Changes
A
map change implemented at the start of a new season adds to the excitement of
exploration when discovering chests and loot. Some fans speak of a desire to
have different terrain to enjoy the new ‘Chonkers’ off-road tyres that can be
placed on any vehicle in the game, making it super easy to drive away from the
storm. Let’s see what Season 7 brings.
Chests and Loot
Back
in Season 2, Epic Games ensured a 100% chance rate of chests spawning across
the map, although there are still many, it has been reported that this
percentage has gradually decreased to less. Players would really benefit from more
rare bunker chests, with old weapons returning in gold, the Scar for example –
being one of the best AR’s in Fortnite. Happy days when discovering those, and
eliminations aplenty!
Fortnite
fans can currently enjoy ‘Impossible Escape LTM (Limited Time Mode) with some
exclusive rewards on completion.
Chapter
2 Season 6 ends June 8th.
