Okay, okay. I was quick to judge Epic Games’ smash hit, “Fortnite.” After about 30 back-to-back solos in a row, I can now say I’ve gotten into the game and understand its monumental hype.
Being Selfish!
Looting up individually has its perks. All the best gear with no teammates riding you about distribution of goods. This alone makes learning the weapons and traps a breeze. Without teammates jack-harvesting all the resources, lil ‘ol me can be up to my eyes in wood, brick and steel. Then, there’s no more peer pressure about fort building or anything. It’s all me!
I say solos the best game mode in “Fortnite.” This is not something I could say for “Rainbow Six Siege” or any other multiplayer game for that matter. “Fortnite” gameplay feels more balanced when it’s a total free-for-all. Not having to worry about being separated from your squad only to be melted by another roaming squad is a nice relief.
