I understand the gist of Battle Royale, but there doesn’t seem to be any explanation for new players. Also, can’t work out if you can drive vehicles. Feels like you should be able to.

Okay, now I’m REALLY confused. Came across at least four players in that second match and couldn’t kill any of them. Then another killed me. For a such a global phenomenon, Fortnite’s onboarding is shite. (Yes, my skill level is shite too)

Not sure how kids spend hours playing this every day. I’ve spent 20 minutes playing and I’m tempted to delete it. Guessing tales of ‘addicted’ Fortnite fans getting frustrated are just the ones who a) don’t know what they’re doing either, b) spend most of their time spectating

I felt like that at the outset. I didn’t get it until I decided each of my lives were basically meaningless and was willing to continually jump in and out of games.

Meant that I died absolutely loads. But after 30 quickish rounds, started to get the feel for the weapons and the rhythm of building.

I’m only three rounds in, but none of it is making any sense. Even when I thought I was out of the safe zone I still wasn’t able to kill someone - he just did a red card emote then started dancing. Barely a few steps away, someone else killed me

If it makes you feel better, I didn’t kill anyone until my 24th round. Those kids have freakish reactions.
