I dunno if you knew this but if you buy a season pass and get to tier 100, they give you enough V Bucks to buy the next season essentially for free.

Nice, I did not know that.

This season is the first time I've bought the pass. Does the next season start the very next day after this season ends? Meaning, I'd have to hit tier 100 by the end of week 10 to be able to do this?

I'm only on tier 83 I think, and most of that is from my 2 youngish boys as I don't play much.

This season ends on Feb 28 so you have a little more time after week 10. You should be able to complete the last 17 tiers to get the Ice King skin. There are lots of guides online if you are having trouble with any of the challenges.

My kids aren't very good at the PvP part of the game but they enjoy doing the challenges. Most of the kill challenges are much easier in the Rumble LTM.

This is only my kids 2nd season but they got the first 5?tiers (can't remember) for having the Battle Pass from last season.

Thanks, this is good info.

I don't play much, maybe 1 hour per week. We may not be able to get that many tiers done in this short of a time since I don't play much. And my kids are 7(twins) so their play time is pretty limited especially during the week.

That being said, they're infinitely better than me at this game lol. When they do get to play, they mostly fly through the challenges, and the ones where you need to find things, they YouTube it on their tablets and use the guides like you said. They're pretty self sufficient with this Fortnite stuff for 7 year olds.

I don't play much either and both of my kids are WAY better at the game than I am. I sometimes help them with the boring challenges after they go to bed... Land at Dusty Divot, etc.

I did contribute last week with the X4 Stormwing challenge and we had fun finding the Golden Balloons.

That's so funny as that's exactly what I do. I can't kill dudes for shite, so the Elimination challenges I fail at, and they come in and knock it out pretty quickly.

I used to be a good gamer, just sports titles, but those days are behind me. It's kinda sad.

Bush guys are awesome

Also, I will say the de-cluttering of the loot pool they did a few weeks ago is nice, it's great to be getting decent weapons more consistently rather than getting a bunch of crap

Scoped AR is highly underrated, especially with the green/blue rarity. Change my mind.

I was wondering if this would help the beginning of the game where there is so much RNG.

No ammo spawns only on ground loot. Only in Ammo boxes and can come with gun.

Take out utility, Epic, and Legendary items for ground loot. Leave for chests. Utility items can be bundled with guns.

Increase chance to get blue and above in chests by a good bit. Decrease chance for green and grey.

75%-85% spawn rate for green and below weapons of the AR, Tac Shotgun, Pump, pistol (preferably vaulted), and SMG on ground loot.

15%-25% spawn rate of shield types on ground loot.


As for mobility.
100% spawn rate for quads
Keep planes the same. Decrease accuracy.
100% spawn rate for rifts
Ziplines need to be toggled
Launch pads and Rift to go's stay roughly the same

Gun changes
Deagle longer first shot accuracy time
Reduce cooldown for shotguns after building
Decrease reticle size for Tac Shotgun by 10%. Increase range by 5%.
Reduce headshot for AK by 10%
Only do pump delay between two pumps. Allow Tac shotgun + Pump again.

Traps
Reduce Turret drop rate and drop rarity
Introduce a trap that can heal 50 health or shield as needed and make Legendary
Spike traps need to do about 125

I agree with most of that. The two big ones are:
1) You should never have a building with no weapons. Ever. Happened to me last night. Dropped at the far building at Racetrack (usually at least one chest and a gun somewhere else). Nothing but ammo. Zero chests and no guns.

2) Chests should not give you a grey weapon. Should be green or higher.

I agree with almost everything you said... I'm good with traps at 150 though

Yeah keep the spike traps at 150, but I do like the idea of an item that would replenish shield. We need something like a cozy but for shield so a team can use it.

I don't think a single trap should be able to down the most common health pool in the game with full health and 2 minis.

Two traps will kill anybody either at 125 or 150.

That was an anomaly. Squaded up and it was full lobbies all day. Got 2 dubs.

I don’t want the game to die. I enjoy it. But it’s hard to deny
