    This week’s FORTNITE X MARVEL issue came with a code to give your avatar adamantium claws as a pickaxe. I am extremely excited for this. I have retirement accounts and a bad back

  • BigMacWithHiC Mac (@BigMacWithHiC) reported

    The last couple weeks of Fortnite have been pretty successful with about 3 wins each stream! Tonight I'm going for 4 Wins on stream with the boys. If we don't get 4 I guess @onehuskygamer is going to come pie me? I don't think we'll have any issues but come make sure at 7 est 😬

  • WeNotGamersLOL We Are Not Gamers LOL (@WeNotGamersLOL) reported

    @FortniteGame need to sort out this problem when I’m about to fire at an enemy, my gun freezes.. it’s very off putting to play the game when it does that

  • kdshgsjdjf kdsh (@kdshgsjdjf) reported

    @ExOwnage @fn_news_leaks @FortniteGame This. Game. Sucks. To sum it up, the pvp system in Fortnite is one of the worst I’ve ever seen in gaming. From the timing being whack due to lag or bugs, terrible meta, bad connection system and more. The game has a great concept of doing things but terrible execution.

    Epic Games is working on a new NPC Service called "Outfit Disguise" where instead of being disguised as a random prop it will disguise you as a random skin. It is set to cost 75 bars from NPCs to get a random outfit disguise, cant find what the possible skin options are #Fortnite

  • Smok3ater smok3ater (@Smok3ater) reported

    How can fortnite be a multibillion dollar game n still have simple fix glitches? @FortniteGame @DonaldMustard

  • strangersokovia sara ❤️ (@strangersokovia) reported

    @bluenomadd maybe i won’t have as many issues with fortnite now lol

  • Jarelddd Jareld (@Jarelddd) reported

    @Mr_Holodoc @Top5Gamingx Honestly these not so much, but battle passes, the item shop system and vbucks, the rarities, Collabs from other media, crossplay, etc were all popularized from Fortnite. Without it, Apex, COD, overwatch and every other live service game would not exist in the same form today.

  • gnflomlx jenn :) (@gnflomlx) reported

  • JerryXOC Jerry (@JerryXOC) reported

    Loaded up fortnite for 5 minutes and closed it. Most lag infested piece of **** game ever made. Words can't describe how absolutely awful it is. Sociopaths play this game and get ego's from it. 99.99% of fortnite pros will never be good at any COMPETITIVE game.

  • AstrofireH Astroowl1 (@AstrofireH) reported

    Can fortnite stop BEING SO ******* SWEATY, I NEED TO WIN A ******* SOLO AND TOO MANY SWEATS ARE IN THE DAMN GAME, last season, no problem, season before that, no problem, this season, vibin? No, sweaty

  • freezie Why FLeX?? (@freezie) reported

    @OmegaProYT im starting to realize more and more that its not GAMES or MEDIUMS that usually are the problem. It's the communities that surround them. Fortnite is fun until the fortnite community impcts it negatively and makes it unfun.

  • M1K3Editz Mike Editz™ (@M1K3Editz) reported

    @FortniteGame Cool tournament , but will issues with The Block 2.0 be addressed? The flawed voting + level of promotion the „winners“ only for being option C with the flaws („UI bug“) in-game. It is unfair to all involved & lack of a acnokolgement & amends from Epic is very disappointing!

  • FNGameUpdates Fortnite Updates (@FNGameUpdates) reported

    The Brazil Cash Cup has been extended by 30 minutes for an additional match due to a matchmaking issue. #Fortnite

    @Its_Juca @D0ncomatic No. In fortnite isn't the problem. Its how the skins look. Pure half assed it.

  • yourboyking10 its_yourboyking10 (@yourboyking10) reported

    @FortniteGame I bought the dragon ball levels and there was an error and now I have 735 instead of 1735

  • GuyBlahson Guy Blahson (@GuyBlahson) reported

    @StaySeethingKid @JMAYHEMther3k @EvilDeadTheGame Damn you really don't know how to take an obvious joke. Now that's a real skill issue. And please tell me what makes you think I play Fortnite. Was it the only "insult" you could come up with? Very original. Maybe lighten up, prick. Lmao.
