A.I.M. Skin Hints at a Snow Covered Map in Fortnite Battle Royal


The A.I.M. skin is the newest skin that players who purchased the battle pass are able to unlock this week. Since the week 7 challenges for season 6 just got released last Thursday it allowed players like me to unlock this skin by completing 7 weeks of challenges. You may have unlocked the skin yourself or just have seen it in the game, whatever it may be; I hope you all think it is cool as I do! This skin also reveals a hint of a snow covered map coming in the future because this skin has frost on its feet and hands. This is a theory that may experts in the Fortnite community have been concluding to since this skin got released and makes sense since winter is around the corner. So what may happen with this snow covered map.

Hypothetically, I think it would be cool to combine with theory with the recent closing of Burger Town in Greasy Grove. Imagine what type of winter themed type of building this building can turn into! My favorite idea is that Burger Town gets cleared out and turns into an ice rink. Imagine running into the building only to start sliding around like you stepped on a freeze trap. This would make looting much more difficult but fun at the same time. I also can see people getting pretty creative on how to eliminate other opponents when sliding on the ice.

Let me know what changes you think will be cool to see if snow hits by commenting below or clicking HERE!

Double Barrel Shotgun VS. Heavy Shotgun In Fortnite Battle Royal

The shotgun in Fortnite is a fan favorite weapon. Most players do not like to enter battle until they have looted a shotgun because they are crucial in close range combat. There are two shotguns that are clearly the best two in the game. The Double Barrel Shotgun and the Heavy Shotgun. These two are the only shotguns that come in the legendary(purple) and epic(gold) tiers. When it come to which one is better it come to personal preference. Here is how I break them down.

Double Barrel Shotgun: 2 shots per round

  • Legendary:
    • Body Damage: 114 health points
    • Head Shot Damage: 142.5 health points
    • Reload Time: 2.8 seconds
  • Epic:
    • Body Damage: 120 health points
    • Head Shot Damage: 150 health points
    • Reload Time: 2.7s
  • Video of Ninja using the Double Barrel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox-7FSFr0dQ
Heavy Shotgun: 7 shots per round
  • Legendary:
    • Body Damage: 74 health points
    • Head Shot Damage: 185 health points
    • Reload Time: 5.9 seconds
  • Epic:
    • Body Damage: 77 health points
    • Head Shot Damage: 192.5 health points
    • Reload Time: 5.6 seconds
  • Video of the Heavy Shotgun being used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6WkJYHE_S8
Conclusion:
Based on the statistics you can see that these weapons are powerful on the battle field yet very different. The heavy is better at father distances then the double barrel. I would use the heavy if you prefer to keep some distance between your opponent. There is really no better weapon close range then the double barrel. It has a wide hit box, short time between your first and second shots and extremely high body damage. I find myself using either weapon. I will use the legendary or epic double barrel shotgun over the legendary heavy shotgun. However, I will use the epic heavy shot gun over any shotgun in the game. Because if this fact I have determined the heavy shotgun being the best shot gun in the game!

Watch xCHA0TICWOLFx Play Fortnite on Mixer


I recently posted a webpage about my favorite Fortnite players to watch on the the online streaming platform Twitch. Well have you ever heard of Mixer? It is the other popular streaming platform that gamers live stream their games. I found an article on HubPages titled Top Community-Focused Streamers On Mixer, written by PrometheusIV that identifies some quality Fortnite players that you can watch on Mixer. Read what PrometheusIV  had to say about the Fortnite streamer xCHA0TICWOLFx below. After the link to PrometheusIV's full article his article begins on this post. Enjoy! 

Full Article: https://hubpages.com/games-hobbies/Top-Community-Focused-Streamers-on-Mixer

xCHA0TICWOLFx

xCHA0TICWOLFx is definitely a gamer that you want to follow on Mixer. He supports other streamers endlessly within the community, can dominate some titles like no others, and always offers tips and insights upon how gamers can improve themselves both in-game and as a streamer. He definitely is one of the good ones within the community, and will always give you 110% if you give your best effort!

STREAMING TITLES
"The way a stream is titled is a good way to get the attention of potential viewers. It should have some relevance to the type of game, a possible challenge or even goal oriented. You can also give the title something more to hype it up for the potential viewers. The stream title can also reflect the streamer in how they play the game as well. The games i enjoy streaming are Rainbow Six Siege, a fun and tactical FPS. Battle Royale games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite. The new State of Decay 2, Call of Duty: WWII and OverWatch."
COMMUNITIES & AFFILIATIONS
"Being a part of a community is a good way to have some reliable viewers to help a streamer. Those community members coming by can also help you to interact more. Support like that can help a lot to make the streamer feel positive. Now affiliations with teams and or companies on the channel is also a good way to get your channel out there. To name a few of my affiliations, i have been a squad member of ThugLyfeGaming for a few years now and the TLG community is like a family started by Born Legit. I am also a part of The Den community and The Console Corner ran by xSHEWULFx and GKB one of the most awesome streamers. While not part of this team but i also squad up with SykoPlayz a great person and friend that i enjoy gaming along side for co-streams. Now one of the best products i have ever had the pleasure of trying is by Evil Energy, absolutely the best tasting energy supplement out there and happy to be able to promote there product so that others can experience it for themselves. As a member of a team or company, not only are you helping them with there channel, service or product, they also help your channel. These kinds of affiliations can greatly benefit you and them."
WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING ON MIXER
"When i first joined Mixer it was not as a streamer, but it was to support some good people that i have met through gaming. I had found out that Mixer has a ever growing community. Many great streamers and each with their own little communities growing every day. Everyone that i have met through this service is friendly and supportive. Furthermore it also has great tech support. When i needed any kind of help with the software itself bugging out or interruption in my streams, the tech support responded quickly. So i highly recommend Mixer to anyone who wants to stream or to find a community that you might be looking for."

The History of Video Games


As a Fortnite player I appreciate the changes that Fortnite has caused in the video game industry. As players of the most innovative video game of our generation we can appreciate how far video games as come. Have you ever wondered what was the first ever video game? Well luckily Ian Blake, a publisher of video game articles on the ezine database has found the answer. Ian's article is called History of Video Games- The First Ever Video Game Ever Made? After reading this I hope you all appreciate Fortnite even more! Below is a link to his full article and after that is what Ian wrote.

Article Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?History-of-Video-Games---The-First-Video-Game-Ever-Made?&id=1345968

As an avid retro-gamer, for quite a long time I've been particularly interested in the history of video games. To be more specific, a subject that I am very passionate about is "Which was the first video game ever made?"... So, I started an exhaustive investigation on this subject (and making this article the first one in a series of articles that will cover in detail all video gaming history).
The question was: Which was the first video game ever made?
The answer: Well, as a lot of things in life, there is no easy answer to that question. It depends on your own definition of the term "video game". For example: When you talk about "the first video game", do you mean the first video game that was commercially-made, or the first console game, or maybe the first digitally programmed game? Because of this, I made a list of 4-5 video games that in one way or another were the beginners of the video gaming industry. You will notice that the first video games were not created with the idea of getting any profit from them (back in those decades there was no Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Atari, or any other video game company around). In fact, the sole idea of a "video game" or an electronic device which was only made for "playing games and having fun" was above the imagination of over 99% of the population back in those days. But thanks to this small group of geniuses who walked the first steps into the video gaming revolution, we are able to enjoy many hours of fun and entertainment today (keeping aside the creation of millions of jobs during the past 4 or 5 decades). Without further ado, here I present the "first video game nominees":
1940s: Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device
This is considered (with official documentation) as the first electronic game device ever made. It was created by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. The game was assembled in the 1940s and submitted for an US Patent in January 1947. The patent was granted December 1948, which also makes it the first electronic game device to ever receive a patent (US Patent 2,455,992). As described in the patent, it was an analog circuit device with an array of knobs used to move a dot that appeared in the cathode ray tube display. This game was inspired by how missiles appeared in WWII radars, and the object of the game was simply controlling a "missile" in order to hit a target. In the 1940s it was extremely difficult (for not saying impossible) to show graphics in a Cathode Ray Tube display. Because of this, only the actual "missile" appeared on the display. The target and any other graphics were showed on screen overlays manually placed on the display screen. It's been said by many that Atari's famous video game "Missile Command" was created after this gaming device.

Some More Problems With Fortnite


I found a great article written by Haley(last name not disclosed) on HubPages. The full article is Five Things Fortnite Needs To Improve. I recently added a webpage to my website that was also written by Haley about 10 reasons  Fortnite is a better video game than PUBG which you should all read HERE. Below are by 3 favorite improvements Fortnite should make that Haley suggests. I particularly like here first problem about micro-transactions. It does not actually give any advantage to player when you consider ability to play. However, skins and other items that people can purchase can add an intimidation factor if some one has a rare skin on the battle field. There also may be a disadvantage to the "no skins" as players often more aggressively attack players that do not purchase items from the store.

Link to full article: https://levelskip.com/fighting/Five-things-Fortnite-Needs-to-do-Better


1. Micro-Transactions
Micro-transactions make sense in a free-to-play game, however, while Fortnite is free to download. The majority of the challenges and loot and rewards are locked behind a paywall. A single outfit costs about $12 - $20.
Granted the things that money unlocks don't affect the gameplay. Fortnite is still not pay-to-win, but it does separate those who are willing to pay to unlock basic gameplay every season.

Bottom of Form
4. Guns
Guns in Fortnite are a big problem, which is weird for a game that is built around weapons (and building).
Weapons are either overpowered or highly underpowered. The color-coding system is important, it quickly allows a player to see if one shotgun is of a higher quality than another. Quality differences between guns, makes sense, however, headshots at point blank range shouldn't do minimal damage even if a weapon is of the lowest quality.
The same mechanics that make the game easier for a new player to pick up, can become a problem as well. The aiming and shooting mechanics of Fortnite are loose. The mechanics do not give the player the ability to control shots, such as shooting mechanics in other shooters do.
5. Guns Part 2: Death by Shotgun
Another issue that Fortnite has with weapons is how overpowered shotguns are, and they continue to add more shotguns with the updates, instead of more unique weapons.
While specific weapons will be better suited for specific environments or types of contact, Fortnite really has two options: either a shotgun or a sniper rifle.
Assault rifles, pistols, handguns, crossbows, etc. are only useful if you've run out of ammo for your other weapons.
