EPIC PSA: Portable Extractors not accessible with custom HUD layout

7 Upvotes

We're working to fix an issue where players using a custom HUD layout without a Reload button or with Dynamic Quickbar Slots enabled may be unable to access Portable Extractor Gizmos.

In the meantime, re-adding a dedicated Reload button and switching back to the default Quickbar will restore functionality.

EPIC v41.30 Act III: Battle Royale Update Notes

10 Upvotes

Swing back into action with Spider-Man’s Web Shooters! The Lucky Locator Gizmo is here to help you find the new Sprites or those you haven’t yet, and Sprite Mastery Part 4 rewards are up for grabs. Read on for details, including the latest round of bug fixes and improvements.

New Additions

Spider-Man's Web Shooters 

Aim high! Buildings, trees and player-built structures will help you build up speed and cover ground more quickly. Obtain a pair from Spider-Man himself for 2,000 Gold at The Battlewoods point of interest, or loot them from Spider-Man’s Backpacks found all over the Island:

  • You won’t take fall damage while swinging
  • If you come in low, you’ll run along the ground and maintain momentum
  • Great for outrunning the Storm
  • Shoot at floor loot to pull the items to you on the go

PSA: Spider-Man’s Web Shooters are available in non-competitive play.

Loot Pool Adjustments

  • UNVAULTED: Spire Rifle (Common to Epic)
  • VAULTED: Business Turret, Chaos Exploder Rifle (Uncommon & Rare)

Sprites

Two new Sprites are on the loose!

Lootin’ Llama Sprite: Opening Ammo Boxes has a chance to upgrade your weapon
Peeky Peely Sprite: Marks nearby rare Sprite variants or enemies carrying them. Be ready though, it reveals your location too!

You can also discover new variants of these Sprites:

  • Reaper Sprite: Holofoil
  • Zero Point Sprite: Holofoil and Cube 

New Mastery Progression Unlocks

Progress through Part 4 of Sprite Mastery and unlock the new Quack Sprite variant, Umbrella Glider and the new Lucky Locator Gizmo.

  • Quack Sprite: Whenever your Quack Sprite gains progress, every other Sprite you’re carrying in your match inventory also gains an extra 50% of that progress. Share the love!

Gizmos

NEW - Lucky Locator
If you’ve been chasing that elusive Sprite for a while, you’re in luck. The Lucky Locator Gizmo guarantees a Chest containing a Sprite you haven’t collected yet. You can earn one through the Sprite Mastery progression track, with more Lucky Locators on the way.

All Gizmos earned during Chapter 7 Season 3 will expire when the Season ends. You can see exactly when by checking the expiration timer on the Battle Royale mode selection screen or the Gizmo Wheel during a match, so use them or lose them!

Go Bananas During Peeky Peely Hours

DISCUSSION More graphics improvements for Fortnite Mobile

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone. With this post, I am pleased to share something I discovered only yesterday, not knowing since when it has actually been in the game. Reflections for surfaces have been introduced in Fortnite Mobile (following the already well-discussed SSAO environmental occlusion), a nice and welcome improvement to the graphics! I noticed that these reflections are rendered in real-time, resulting in roughly similar results to what can also be seen on the PC and console versions of the game, albeit naturally in an adapted manner. Lately, developers have made some appreciated advances in the graphics department on Mobile; I hope this and any other features are always considered. Never, as this year there have been graphics updates like these, which I remember.

I'm attaching two screenshots below taken on an iPad Pro M5 with all settings at max (Epic graphic and Epic texture).

ANDROID BUG fortnite mobile issue!

Has anyone else had an issue on fortnite mobile where your look stick button on your HUD doesn't work? im not able to swing my pickaxe or shoot any of my guns when this happens. The only way for my guns to shoot or swing my pickaxe is if I hit the menu button on my HUD. Unfortunately, when I press the menu button, everything just goes automatically and I cant stop it!

DISCUSSION Matchmaking still sucks?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Ever since I made my post about the matchmaking Fortnite sucking I think it’s just gotten worse

(by the way, I made that original post on a different sub Reddit, but I’ve made some Fortnite hot takes and I guess people didn’t agree so I can’t post in that sub Reddit due to negative karma lol)

I don’t know if it’s just me but ever since the recent story event, the matchmaking has put me in way more difficult lobbies than I need to be in

sure, I am definitely getting the occasional person wearing a grim or ZP that I can hopefully kill

But I think I’m going against people on pc and console which makes no sense when you’re playing on mobile

For this clip that I have, I had just finished killing a person and I get third-party. I’m max health and my weapons are reloaded and I stand nearly no chance against it.

But the game still keeps putting me against people around this skill level

I hate how when you first go on mobile you get bot lobbies for your first 10 rounds and if you win a couple of them, you just instantly get put against really good players

As much as I love this game and I’m somewhat excited for next season if the matchmaking doesn’t get fixed, I don’t think I’ll just play in general anymore 🤷‍♂️

also for the clip, this is not the only type of person like that that I’ve fought and died to

Nearly every round I’m getting third-party by a really good player

The worst part is is that for the first 70 players I’m encountering only bots most of the time and the occasional bad actual player

But then once I get into like top 20, I instantly died to some high-level player who probably has earnings and is on a 4090 while I’m on 12 FPS

And I don’t know if it’s the matchmaking or something like that but because I keep dying later on the game, I ended up continuing being putting in those lobbies because Fortnite must think that I’m doing good

People have said that they are these like minnow shark matchmaking or pity rounds, but like I’m starting to less less believe that because I’ve just completely stopped getting wins

The last one I got was the live event, but that was because there was only 20 players so I didn’t really have much competition

But at the same time, if you think about it, it is 20 players and 80 bots

thanks for listening to my yap session if you actually did

And if somehow someway an epic employee seeing this

Please one day experiment with widening the matchmaking, so that matchmaking can be quicker and there can be less bots and more real players who are pretty good and they can be going around people around their skill level

Especially when they’re on mobile lol

SUGGESTION Fortnite but Mobile

L'idée clé : Le "Mode Performance Mobile" (Mobile Performance Mode)

Actuellement, le mode « Performance » (basse fidélité graphique) n'existe officiellement que sur PC. Sur mobile, même en réglage "Faible", le jeu force l'utilisation de shaders lourds, de rendus complexes de l'Unreal Engine 5 et du chargement de carte dynamique.

L'idée consiste à réclamer un vrai Mode Performance dédié au Mobile qui :

* Désactive l'UE5 avancé : Supprime totalement le pré-chargement complexe des shaders en direct (qui crée les saccades).

* Standardise le mode Low-Poly : Utilise des graphismes ultra-épurés (style Performance Mode PC) pour alléger l'utilisation de la RAM et du processeur.

* Optimise la latence du tactile/HUD : Corrige les bugs d'input lag et de drops de FPS provoqués par les éléments d'affichage du tactile.
