WARNING: Explicit language is in this article!<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew when I started this website, that this game would have to be put on here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I start by mentioning the game of the week (which you know by the title), I just wanted to talk about clips I put in my articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my clips are from my Xbox (which does not record my voice for some reason), some are from a Nintendo Switch (again, does not record my voice), and my gaming laptop (which does record my voice).<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news, most of my clips from my gaming laptop have been saved (except for my screenshots).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bad news, my laptop shit the bed back in November 2023. Entirely my fault. \ud83d\ude41<\/span><\/p>\n

So please bear with me while I hopefully make enough money to afford a new gaming laptop or PC. So all in all, in some of my clips you\u2019ll hear my voice, and some of them, not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, to start like always, the game of the week is\u2026 \u201cFortnite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I have a difficult relationship with this game to start with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I played when \u201cFortnite\u201d first came out, I got my first victory royal before my brother did (on his birthday, just an FYI) and I\u2019ve been playing ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This game helped me get closer with my father and my brothers which I\u2019m very thankful for.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, \u201cFortnite\u201d pisses me off but I\u2019ll get into that aspect later on.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know what \u201cFortnite\u201d is, it\u2019s a battle royal game like \u201cPUBG\u201d and \u201cApex Legends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When you get into this game, you and about 99 other players will be able to drop from the battle bus that\u2019s flying in the air and land on any part of the map.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you land, you will find weapons, shields, and medkits. You will also find chests that can contain better and more effective weapons or different movement options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the battle bus leaves, there is the storm. The storm hurts you if you stand in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can look on the map to see where the storm isn\u2019t and you get into that storm circle. The storm circle decreases every few minutes, with the time getting shorter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the smaller the circle, the more people will run into each other and fight and one will end up winning.<\/span><\/p>\n

There can only be one winner but, if you are playing duos, trios, or squads, then that changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all the main goal is: to get the battle royal victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFortnite\u201d changes every few months such as seasons, battle passes (a cosmetic bundle where you use your XP levels to earn stars and buy things from the pass with those stars), and of course, the lore.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lore of \u201cFortnite\u201d is honestly so confusing to me, that I wouldn\u2019t be able to give you all an honest and truthful explanation. However, Fortnite.GG gives a good explanation of the entire lore of \u201cFortnite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now going back to what I said above: \u201cFortnite\u201d pisses me off.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this recent chapter, chapter 5, the weapons are CRAZY!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0To give you background, I\u2019ll give an example of what my loadout usually looks like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now in your loadout, you have 5 slots where you can put anything in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My loadout (in this order and in \u201cFornite Zero Build\u201d) is an assault rifle, frenzy auto shotgun, sniper, either medkits, big shields, or flowberry fizz and the grapple blade. (RIP to it not being in this new season of \u201cFortnite\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For some of these weapons, I don\u2019t have a specific choice besides the frenzy auto shotgun. This thing is AWESOME!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also ALWAYS have a sniper with the biggest scope, which I believe is the 4x scope.<\/span><\/p>\n

My friends can say that I am SO GOOD AT USING SNIPERS!<\/span><\/p>\n

Like I go crazy. You can see some of the clips are below.<\/span><\/p>\n
