    @MHS43630061 @pretzellemon95 @ComicaIBigSpoon Like the fortnite fandom is any better? Incredibly toxic for what takes almost no skill, sucks each other off everytime they out-build a 9 year old. Not to mention the whole game is just a big sellout at this point. If you're gonna insult a game fandom, atleast fix yours first

  • NocturnalAzrael Nocturnal Azrael (@NocturnalAzrael) reported

    Anyone who is having trouble with recoil on the new combat rifle in Fortnite should try controlling it like you would if you were shooting a CSGO weapon. Drag that **** down. I noticed it just mows players down in-game. #Fortnite #FortniteSeason8

  • Dark_Logic48 Dark Logic (@Dark_Logic48) reported

    @FortniteGame epic literally ruined fortnite for controller players. I can’t even use that new AR at all and I’m seeing m/kb players absolutely obliterating lobbies to the point where they’re carrying multiple instead of a shotgun. That’s a problem.

  • AlgaePalJoe AlgaePalJoe 💙 (Guillotine stan) (@AlgaePalJoe) reported

    @molten_fn @FortniteGame TheMeatly being bad with release dates has been a problem ever since bendy and the ink machine. And you can’t use the Covid excuse because it’s been a problem before Covid and way after Covid would have an effect on game dev

    Anyone who is having trouble with recoil on the new combat rifle in Fortnite should try controlling it like you would if you were shooting a CSGO weapon. Drag your aim down more. I noticed it just mows players down in-game. #Fortnite #FortniteSeason8
