Have you ever overheard people talking about something called “Fortnite”? Almost everyone in the world must have been speculative when your friends, relatives or colleagues are discussing guns, grenades, and armors and building something. Maybe you are thinking too much. No, they have not joined any infamous militant group. However, they should have ventured into the famous gaming world of “Fortnite”. It is a third-person shooter game available on PC, Xbox 1, PlayStation 4, and on mobile platforms such as iOS and Android.
“Epic Games” and “People Can Fly” developed the game. It was released in late 2017. Within months of its release, by May 2018, the game had a whopping 45 million users around the world. For those who are not aware of the game, here is some more information:
Story Mode
In story mode, you play as a survivor in a zombie apocalypse world. The aim of the game is to gather resources, build forts and survive the husk waves alongside other players. Husks, which are zombie-like creatures, are the common enemies in the game. You need to fight against these husks, by collecting guns and ammo, to protect yourself and the fort. The fort-building process makes this game unique and the main reason for its popularity. The game features ludicrous weapons and enemies, making it funny and entertaining.
Fortnite costs around $30 like any other videogame. However, the new standalone game mode, “Battle Royale”, is free to download. Check out this site to read more about story mode and cool things you can do with Fortnite.
Battle Royale
In “Battle Royale” mode, a count of hundred players competes in a match, fighting against each other using their shooting and fort-building skills. Here, you can either play solo or in teams up to 4 players. The aim of the game is survival. The last one alive is the winner. The match starts as players dive-off from the “battle bus” roped to a hot air-balloon and land on their aspired locations. As the match progresses, you must stay inside a giant circle indicated on the map that slowly shrinks. Hence, you cannot retreat into a nook and expect to win the game. The main aspects of the game are collecting the necessary gears and weapons before the enemies, and stealth-mode. Although it is free to download, there are certain things that you can buy using real-world money such as character models and emotes. Emotes are dance moves that players often use to show off.
