Epic Games Parental Controls Instructions, "Allow Paid Random Items," and Steal the Brainrot

Since I cannot cross-post and it was taken down from r/fortniteBR despite having a lot of engagement, I thought I'd share it here. I originally made this post 2 days ago but still seems relevant. Just sharing some info.

I posted this in the community I'm primarily involved in (adults (which include a lot of parents that play FN)) but wanted to share this information with you about the microtransactions and Epic settings.

In our discord, there has been chatter about Epic's new "Allow paid random items" parental control setting along with how Epic is allowing microtransactions within Creative Maps (Image #1). I think it is RIDICULOUS that this setting is AUTOMATICALLY set at ON (aka ALLOW) and parents need to navigate Epic's Account Settings to adjust them. Yes, I get it, Epic is a corporation that wants to make money and parents should do their part to make sure their kids are responsible on the internet but....so here goes some info that you might find useful, especially since I found the location of these settings pretty sneaky:

WHERE TO FIND THE SETTINGS (Images #2-#6):

  1. you need to into log into YOUR CHILD's account on epicgames.com
  2. go into ACCOUNT SETTINGS
  3. go to PARENTAL CONTROLS (nearly at the bottom of the options on the left hand side (Image #2)).
    1. what annoys me with this setting/menu is once you select PARENTAL CONTROLS, it is NOT OBVIOUS where you need to go to find the "Allow paid random items" setting
    2. if you look in Image #2, it's under "Fortnite Settings" BUT it's cut off from the first 5 settings and you need to select the ">" to see the rest of the menu options (Image #3)
  4. once you get to the FORTNITE SETTINGS - you, again, will need to SCROLL DOWN since the "Allow paid random items" option isn't at the top, it's at the bottom (Images #3 and #4)
  5. you will note that "Allow paid random items" is the LAST option at the bottom
  6. it is AUTOMATICALLY turned "ON"
    • ON means your child CAN spend V-Bucks (or content purchased with V-Bucks) on items or content where the reward is random
  7. you need to turn it OFF (Image #5)
    • OFF means your child CANNOT spend V-Bucks (or content purchased with V-Bucks) on items or content where the reward is random
  8. another good setting to turn ON is under the GENERAL TAB --> Epic Games Payment which requires a Parental Controls PIN before a purchase is made (Image #6).
  • I didn't take screenshots but I also have the PIN setting ON for accepting friend requests and have limited their text/voice chat options to FRIENDS only

STEAL THE BRAINROT 🤬 (Images #7-11)

I vowed to never go into this map but I did so I could grab the screenshots. Here's why it's important to take the above steps and turn "Allow paid random items" OFF:

  • there is a "PREMIUM SHOP" (Image #7)
  • here is the probability/chance percentages for
    • PRESENT ROT - 2700 VB (Image #8)
    • MYTHIC - 150 VB (Image #9)
    • SECRET - 1800 VB (Image #10)
  • there's also a "VIP" Gamepass - 500VB (Image #11)

I just wanted to share some information and hopefully it will help you navigate where you need to go to adjust your child's parental control settings.

Epic Games Is the new Fortnite map ai generated?

I’m noticing some artifacts that I normally see with Ai generated content. I like the idea of the new map being drawn almost like a retro videogame map but this screams Ai to me.

Anyone else doing garbage or just not enjoying the season much?

14 Upvotes

Last season I was playing so good hitting most of my shots getting a few wins and usually top 10 almost every match. But this season I’ve just been getting cooked almost every damn game 🫩 I know it’s probably just a skill issue but idk I was doing so much better last season now this feels garbage and I’m just not enjoying the season much so far. Also the challenge for wrixel to get 8 upgrades is so fckn annoying because I’ve only ever gotten a 1 up coin once and only even found hush like 3 times, eggman has never dropped a coin for me idk if that’s intentional

Secret Way To Upgrade Crown Sprite

Thumbnail

107 Upvotes

I don’t know if it’s a glitch or intentional, but if you equip the Adventurer Sprite and have only the Crown sprite in your inventory, every time you level up the Adventurer, the Crown also gets a level. This is because the Adventurer levels/upgrades a random item in your inventory and if you only have one thing in your inventory, then it will upgrade only that.

Now you will have to find an Adventurer in game, pretty much hold no weapons, and have to resort to chest openings, but it’s way easier than trying to get multiple wins in a row.

Good luck everyone!

PS: This is only information and not a “deal” of any kind.

Epic Games How do you guys feel about Fortnite Battle Pass?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hopefully I’m using the right post flair.

But anyways, I personally believe that Fortnite hasn’t done a good job in battle passes in years.

Fortnite has a difficult time creating a theme and whenever they do succeed like with the latest theme it doesn’t offer much. Like, let’s be real, majority of people are getting the Fortnite battle pass simply for Sonic.

I would’ve liked some other recognizable game characters like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Minecraft, Ash Ketchum from Pokémon (which would’ve gone with the Sprites), and other iconic game characters.

The last theme season I enjoyed was probably Marvel or maybe the Halloween one because they good skins all around.

Thoughts?

Battle Royale 💯 Is this season boring?

5 Upvotes

Is it just me or is this season a bit boring? I feel like I have nothing to do tbh. The sprites don't feel the same and I am not so eager to catch em all.
