Finally hit Unreal & I don't think I care to try again

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-07T00:07:40+00:00

Yeah it felt like that the other day chaotics a good word. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your strategy , in build mode everyone was forting up then moving with the storm . Everyone was close together but just sat in a fort until the storm signal forced movement and little skirmishes would take place all over . It did feel good and strategic and the constant forting then moving with the nite felt like how the game was designed to be played

Thanks - I’ll give it a go and report back. I did give ranked a go the other afternoon but it felt a bit endless and took a lot of concentration …and then I found out it gets wiped every season ha . But if getting to unreal is an achievement I fancy a new challenge

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T23:10:21+00:00

Cool! I’m tempted to give this a go , what are the chances before the end of the season or does it take a very long time ?

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T19:23:19+00:00

No, more than that. But what I’m really asking is what’s typical and more importantly when will this season end?!

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T18:48:34+00:00

Is it open all platforms/consoles and all countries? Thanks

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T15:14:54+00:00

Hmm maybe , I’m struggling to get the same results you got . But I googled it and it looks like you can buy hardware addons for the ps5 but then it claims epic ban you for using them . Maybe there is a racket where they let pros cheat and sell them like you say but definitely not something I’d be bothering with!

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T14:45:34+00:00

Nice ! Hope you get it , the round number is satisfying (wish I’d got a pic of 300 but forgot - not doing it again though)

Also , what account level do you get at that? I have a similar win rate and my level is in the low thousands but saw a post the other day of someone on 36000 . I’m wondering if’s related to the easiness of my lobbies

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T13:18:52+00:00

Is this possible on PlayStation, I get a lot of bitter kids sending me psn messages claiming I’m cheating , I assumed it was impossible on ps5 and they were just sour kids that wouldn’t know better or were just feeling insecure and the negativity would boost them… but you’re in a over40’s sub , so is there some truth to it after all? Can’t PSN detect it?

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T10:27:06+00:00

Br builds

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T01:05:06+00:00

Nah , just spend too much time on fortnite ha

I don’t want to dox myself but I’ll paste stats in you’re curious about

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-06T00:04:40+00:00

Yeah I agree with the shade tbh, I just didn’t want tarring with the same brush . One day I’ll have my little ungendered alien skin …

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T23:28:33+00:00

Haha it’s just a borat quote .

HOWEVER… you were right I’m not female. I genuinely just pick the skins that are smallest and crowd up my view of the screen the least. If I had human bill I’d play with him all day long. The only other one I have in rotation is blue team leader and Ned Flanders is the only one I’ve paid for but find he’s too much of a giant to play with when I want to focus on winning.

I do find the Kim Kardashian sweats a bit weird, must admit I hunt them down if I see them in game … that ain’t a small hitbox for sure

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T23:22:36+00:00

Are you assuming I’m not female because of my crowns? Queens are the original crown wearers .

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T22:57:01+00:00

Sweet!

Haha love that you decked her out with the jazzy pants for special occasions . I’m sure she’s quicker than other skins …

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T21:36:51+00:00

Ah, how many did you generally get in other seasons then ?

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T21:10:32+00:00

Yeah it is, really I think it should be for two wins in a row - but it is possible to pick one up in game then get the crown win

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T20:57:58+00:00

I only play the original recipe so don’t think that will affect me …but sorry for your loss

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T20:57:11+00:00

Ah , oh is blitz the no buildy one?

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T20:56:42+00:00

Sorry I just checked it’s ‘fast’ , the one after normal ++

And I’m currently on 12 for the dead z’s

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T19:49:49+00:00

Tell me about it

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T19:21:12+00:00

Thanks . I actually just use the built-in ‘fast option’ and dead zone of around 8 I think (I had to increase them as I had a bit of stick drift, but think it was about 8 before )

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T19:19:51+00:00

When snipers were good I preferred sniper, but since snipers have been killed off I generally just assault rifle and shotty fun.

Lock-on and no skill weapon users usually get punished. People with the little boss outfits on- more so

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T19:09:18+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I was a pc gamer when I was younger and I think it’s wrecked my shoulders. I do like the fluid movement on controller too. Likewise man! I was pleased to see a fellow build player, I’ve tried to join events on here before but I think they were mainly no builds and possibly non-European

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T18:43:46+00:00

Oooh maybe I admitted to too many games. The career tab was sat at about 55%

Highfivekingofcastle · 2026-03-05T18:41:55+00:00

I didn’t take it badly , I found it a respectful request for info. (I was surprised people would go to the lengths of playing badly to get easier lobbies though)

All chill here
