SCREEN STUDIES

Fortnite

Fortnite is a battle-royale game where 100 players drop onto an island and have to gather materials from the environment to build ‘forts’ and also find weapons while avoiding an ever-closing circle of death called the Storm ⛈️ . The last person standing wins it all: a Victory Royale.

The Basics:

Platforms: PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series X|S / PC / Nintendo Switch / Mobile

Pricing: Free

The key info you need to know under the minimap (from left to right) includes the time until the Storm circle closes (stay inside the circle to stay alive), how many people are left, and how many people you’ve knocked out.

Your equipment can be pretty much anything, from a pickaxe to a gun to a first aid kit to a bomb that leaves people helplessly dancing while you eliminate them. The quality of items goes from Common - Grey < Uncommon - Green < Rare - Blue < Epic - Purple < Legendary - Orange < Mythic - Gold < Exotic - Light Blue (Edge) Cyan (Center)

Your shields can be refilled with shield potions, a blue liquid that grants extra protection. Be sure to stock up because once your health and shields are at 0, you are knocked out.
