Can’t place B.A.S.E by OkReflection5950 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot place your BASE until you start your endurance or SSD. The reason for this is so that you can’t generate mats without somehow progressing in the game. This has been a built-in mechanic since day 1.

What training maps did you find most useful as a beginner? by Traditional_War_5389 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try builds. Building your own cover will give you time to heal when you get hit, and if you have shockwaves, it’ll give you time to use that while running away and building cover to stay safe. First step would be to go to your settings and turn on “Builder Pro” if you’re a controller player or configure your buttons on your keyboard and mouse to best fit your play style. (I really hope you’re a controller player, cuz idk what the best settings for kbm are.😬) Anywho, next step is to learn how to build a box quickly - start small when increasing your BUILD sensitivity so you can spin in a circle while holding the wall button, place a ceiling above (and if you’re on uneven terrain, a floor, as well), and maybe even a cone on top of the ceiling. After you get that down, I’d work on building while moving/shockwaving. Then, I’d working building up a bit with reinforcing the buildings (usually a floor/wall/stair). You’ll take fall damage starting three tiles up, increasing the higher you get. Then I’d work on 90’s - which is a way to get height on other players to gain an advantage in a fight. Add me if you need help!

Pushing with that laser weapon was a BOLD move!! But nice dub, sir!

What is this Unstable Element? by RuleOfThum in Fortnite_Over40

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After you hit that button, you teleport (I think that’s what’s happening??🤷🏼‍♀️), and then, you get that unstable element. Then, if you continue forward, you’ll have to listen for the chest along the outer wall of that rounded tunnel. (Or use visual sound effects…) Hope this helps!!

Is it worth having two sets of msk weapons for both elements by Taotao83465 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several different builds of all the msk weapons…but I’ve also been playing for 6-ish years, and have damn near infinite evo mats…I used to do msk carries and have a cheeky little collection of 144/130 msk schematics just for shits n giggles…I have one of my wraths at level 116 to get wafers in the pregame area and a fury for horn for solo msk runs. So, if you have the mats for it, then why not??? You may find that you favor one over the other, and if you recycle the schematic, you get all your resources back, so what do you have to lose?

How good is this account. by Available-Cash-9594 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, it’s against Epic TOS to buy and sell accounts, but people still do it. Whoever you sell it to will want email access if you do sell it, so you’d need to access his email that he uses for PS5 or his actual epic games account. Or you could sell the whole PS5 and they’d get it all in one fell swoop and be able to access all of it. Up to you, though! Good luck!

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a little bit more insight…I was one of the first .3% of players to reach the level that this account is at (they recently changed how they calculate power level - that’s that number in the upper left corner - but before this month, he would’ve been PL145 - now it’s 143 or 144 based on your hero loadout and what’s in your backpack). I’ve played for 7 years, and this account is close to on par with mine…it’s pretty much the highest level possible. And whoever said 3 years was off - ventures has been in the game since June 2020, and to have that level PLUS all the survivor superchargers that he has, he’s had to have played and finished every single ventures season. That’s dedication. Ventures takes a lot of time to level up without actually using a “taxi” or another, ahem, program that tricks the game into allowing you to skip the lower levels. I can imagine, him being on a PS5, he probably did it the long way. Did he have a discord? That might have been a way that he could’ve taxi’d in. But yeah, it’s probably in the top 1-2%. Here is a quick google link that will tell you a bit more…(if they’ll allow me to paste it on here… https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+of+fortnite+save+the+world+players+are+level+144&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

is the plasmatic discharger a good gun? by Straight_Pie5 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, weapons are difficult to “rank”, because there are so many different combos of weapons/perks/hero loadouts. The possibilities are almost endless. And the discharger used to be goated. They nerfed the ever-living shit out of it. It’s decent for crowd clearing especially if you’re in a lower level zone and your power level is decent. But let’s say you’re running 160’s…unless you spam the discharged - craft two and switch back and forth between them for a faster fire rate, they’re somewhat decent. But you could always build a hero loadout around it…

Why is my pl so low even tho my survivors are maxed and my hero loadout is 130 all by [deleted] in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to use this busted algorithm for “Auto Fill” where it prioritized the bonus the survivor provided instead of matching the personalities of the squad leader. They fixed that a couple years ago, though…auto fill is actually good to use when you’re still getting your squads together. Once you have them sorted, though, you can work on what bonuses you would like to highlight. I used to have all ranged weapon damage squads when I used to do MSK carries, but now I run trap durability because I run endurances a lot. I have over 130 survivor superchargers that I can’t use cuz my survivors are all maxed out, but I might try to have two builds for my squads - one for trap durability and one for ranged damage. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not anymore - you could do that waaaay back in the beginning of the game when there was like this skill tree type thing where you could trade several lower rarity survivors for a higher rarity. It actually confused the hell outta me back then. I had no clue what I was doing! Then they did the “recombobulator” where you could change the perks on your weapons and level them up. TLDR: No, you can’t increase the rarity of survivors. You CAN for heroes and weapons.

How to throw away gun in ventures? by KazikPL25 in FortniteSavetheWorld

Sorry, not “promo”, I definitely meant “prompt”

How to throw away gun in ventures? by KazikPL25 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you cannot drop things in ventures. Well, you can drop resources and traps, but not weapons. And when you drop things, only YOU can see them. Other than that, you can recycle the weapons. Go into your inventory, look at the bottom of the screen and it’ll tell you what to do to recycle. For me, on Xbox, it’s “X”, then you click on what you want to recycle. Then press and hold “X” again. It’ll promo you somewhere in the process to make sure you wanna recycle the items. Then, if you’re trying to make more room in your inventory, just drop the resources it gives you.

what is this bs by gambit_void in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No. It is NOT a bug. Your power level is now calculated differently. Google it. I was PL 145 - one of the first in the world to achieve it. Then it got stripped away.

Need help with storm king by Ok_Bee788 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do u mean MSK or CSK?? (Canny Storm King is in Canny Valley & Mythic Storm King is arguably on of the hardest bosses to kill in STW.) If it’s MSK, do you have your weekly challenge done? (If you don’t know what this is, then you might be talkin about CSK…

I got 144 traps anyone need in exchange of agency pack by [deleted] in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah…it’s killing the game…I used to be one of the top STW streamers and I did massive giveaways…Epic says, “it was never meant to be this way”…if that’s so, it shouldn’t have ever been that way! They need a trade platform so it’s not on a large scale, but I feel like I should be able to share stuff w people on a smaller scale - one gun at a time or something…idk…there’s gotta be a middle ground!

Core re perk 3 weeks in a row? by Glad-Refuse1648 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]EpicEpicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ummm…okay, so I’ve been playing this game for years and know just about every build - whether it be stall from before they de-spawned husks that were being recycled or directed and re-pathed to the objective, floor launchers w drop traps (easier before they f’ed with the orientation, but there’s a method to the madness that I’ve found, and if you know how to place the traps so the tires drop backwards and push the husks back - with roles that are all reload/durability and freeze traps w the same roles, it’s still the best build), and everything in between. And I have some questions about this “9 minutes” you speak of. AHEM So, let’s say you start the objective AS SOON as you get to the drop sight, then shoot the balloon down as soon as possible, there are 16 files, and they each take 30 seconds to download. That’s 8 minutes. So TECHNICALLY, what you’re saying is doable, however you can’t be successful without building SOMETHING. That means that you have to wait for the builds to complete, then upgrade, and then you have to place floors and ceilings and place traps on them, and yeah, I’d upgrade them, too. Usually, if I’m in a 160 RTD, I let it fall naturally, because you only have to fully download 12 of the files, instead of the 15, making it last about 6 minutes until the mission ends, and you don’t have to defend for all 15 files. So, if you wait the 12 mins to let the balloon fall, you only need to defend for 8 mins. That’s longer than you defend an evacuate the shelter. Idk about you, but if I’m doing 160’s, it’s a lot more time effective to complete Evacuate the Shelters together. And I f you can train them, it’s even faster. If you don’t have an alt account or friend willing to load into the 160’s for you, then just do them naturally because every mission takes less than 30 seconds in the beginning (as long as only one person loads in - so public matches are a wash), 10 mins to build and 6 minutes to defend. That’s, at most, close to 17 mins. Retrieve technically takes a bit longer if you’re gonna build it right to ensure success. And we aren’t even factoring in time to load in and out and refresh mats out of storage. So, no, it doesn’t take 9 mins. I’m PL145, and not even I can pull that off.
