greetings mother factors my name is Sam
and today we're gonna be dropping
something quite familiar to anyone who
survived the year 2018 mind you those
that didn't I'm watching this video I
hope anyway fortnight may well be the
biggest video game phenomenon with the
21st century beating off other battle
royale games in a battle royale of
battle Royales well for now anyway
but just how successful has this game
become who oh who has sued epic games
and also is this terrible timing
considering that last week
apex legends just came out it may well
be become bigger than fortnight and
that's actually planning our videos way
far ahead asunder sense of service this
time yeah
maybe anyway too much of who the
Russians gonna be answered because I
just answered the third one this time so
hop on the battle bus do a stupid dance
and prepare yourself for 101 facts about
fortnight's yeah let's dab on them
number one fortnight is a video game
number two all this more okay edits you
build forts and shoot people shoot there
are different modes which you can
download separately but always popular
of these is fortnight battle royale
where 100 people drop into a massive map
and must fight to be the sole survivor
number two fortnight was developed by
Epic Games and is currently headed up by
creative director Donald mustard which
is an incredible name that sounds like
it's from cluedo if you're into video
games and don't know epic how is that
possible they made Gears of War the
Unreal Tournament games and the Unreal
Engine number three port 9 was actually
first announced back in 2011 a whole
seven years before it would take off
with this battle royale mode the context
2011 was the Year portal to Dark Souls
and Skyrim some important arts
plant-based botany from born men number
four the battle royale mode we know
today wasn't originally the be-all and
end-all of the series as the game was
originally meant to only be zombie cop
survival which they marketed as
minecraft meets left 4 dead 2 it someone
probably thought silly epic minecraft
already has zombies that a day will
never work but this fake person I just
made up feels really stupid now number 5
so why is it called fortnight I know we
tackle the big questions here on 101
fact well for the zombie survival mode
your character has to build a fort and
survive in it for two weeks
ie a fortnight very clever less clever
now that aspect of the game is no longer
the focus but what can you do it's just
a bit unfortunate
thought you know yeah you got back
number six
fortnight what revealed to the world
that Spike TV game Awards in 2011 where
Cliff Bleszinski described it as a game
that's more about survival than anything
else despite the many many changes the
game went through this phrase still
holds up number seven the game was
supposed to have a creepier Tim Burton
II look to it
when zombie survival was more of a focus
instead they lightened up its aesthetic
to make it look more like Looney Tunes
and the Pixar movies since they wanted
players to enjoy playing in that world
for an extended amount of time and not
be exhausted by it number eight this
co-op survival version of fortnight made
dormant for years with even a small
announcement in 2015 link people know it
be available on Mac if it ever came out
this all changed when fortnight saved
the world it's sort of cooperative
campaign was revealed and launched as
paid early access back in July of 2017
number nine there are plans to make save
the world free-to-play in 2018 much like
its battle royale counterpart but that
has been delayed till 2019 with no
specific release dates if you don't
fancy being a cheapskate and waiting
around its $39.99
whatever that means number 10 fortnight
was the first game to use the Unreal 4
game engine which is a major reason for
its long and troubled development cycle
this is kind of a big deal since there
are dozens of games would utilize it
such as the new Spyro remake crackdown 3
Psychonauts 2 and player unknowns
battleground hmm interesting more on
this pop G character in a minute number
11 fortnight is not only playable on
game consoles and PC but Mobile's as
well Wow so you can play it anywhere
like this guy and this guy and this guy
if it wasn't for the technological
advancements made by the Unreal 4 engine
this would not have been possible number
12
there are a bunch of differences between
the mobile versions and the full console
and PC editions
Samantha controls a little bit more
streamlined when using only a
touchscreen doors open automatically
there's additional visual cues to pop up
on screen to mitigate the inferior sound
design Anderson I meant playing
comparison to other versions and it has
a massive graphical downgrade but hey
and this is portable baby
number 13 Epic Games and fortnight of 40
percent owned by the world's biggest
games company Chinese conglomerate $0.10
who acquired epic stock way back in 2013
it's si car it seems like bought Lite
wants to drop in every part of the
I guess well domination is its own
victory royale really number fourteen
ten cent have been trying to bring
fortnight to a Chinese audience for the
past few years but the approval of new
video games into China was frozen by the
Chinese government back in August of
2018 while no one knows the real reason
some speculate it's due to the ccp's
crackdown on video game addiction in
children regardless this move has cost
hem sent millions fortnight is big but
not as big as it could be it permitted
access to the biggest market in the
world number fifteen ten cents bian
wasn't all good news for epic as many
big name stuff the company back in 2012
when the toys for $0.10 first began
these include former Epic Games
president Mike Capps veteran developer
at Epic Games Cliff Bleszinski
and director of Rod Fergusson who went
to work embark infinite as well as the
new gears of war games after Microsoft
purchased the IP number 16 Liz insky who
went on to formed boskie Games has since
accused Epic Games of poaching their
talent to work on fortnight one of those
former employees William McCarroll
denounced these claims by calling them
presumptuous and hurtful since he wants
to be considered a human being and not
some corporate asset Sydney Cliff
Bleszinski more like twist clothes boss
key because their game wasn't selling
ski that's actually true what
number 17 the battle royale mode for
fortnight was conceived after epic
developers fell in love with player
unknowns battlegrounds ie pub G which
had been released in March 2017 hoping
to capitalize on the Battle Royale trend
epic release fortnight Battle Royale six
months later number 18 the battle royale
style of the game is directly inspired
by the 2000 Japanese movie classic
battle royale where 42 school children
are sent to an island where the only way
out is to fight each other to death with
only one left standing sure it's
chock-full of child murder but it's
really entertaining child murder and
book night is also full of killing kids
if you think about it okay so that guy
cheated
number 19 despite both fortnight's and
pub G having 100 players dropped into a
map where only one player or team can be
the winner for tonight's set itself
apart with its building mechanic as well
as his colorful aesthetic and polished
gameplay it was also released with a
free-to-play model over pub G's
traditional paid model and so the battle
royale between battle reals battle
royale ie
began number 20 unsurprisingly epics
opportunistic take on their competitors
unique selling points spurred the Korean
trade as a pub G pub cheek or into suing
Epic Games Korea in January 2018 this
lawsuit has since been dropped but
neither side has confirmed why or if
it's ultimate was agreed to spooky
number 21
one reason the pub G fought by copyright
law of war ended could be because $0.10
owned a minority percentage of not just
Epic Games but pub G 2 as recently as
August when t 18 you know what I always
say if you can't beat them join a
Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to
win a monopoly of Chinese video game
market as the overwhelming power of
globalism it will inevitably swallow
someone laugh you you know what I always
say if you can't beat them join a
Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to
own a monopoly in Chinese video game
market as the overwhelming power of
globalism but never to please all of us
all I do why say that to be fair number
22 oh probably re on a gun off number 20
day oh yeah you've heard it one of the
reasons fortnight is gained so much
attention is its accessibility for night
is available for example and ps4 Xbox
one switch PC Mac iOS and Android it's
actually harder to avoid than it is to
play number 23 another feature
increasing its accessibility is being
able to play with anyone no matter what
system they're playing on porn I just
featured cross play between console pc
and mobile players since March 2018
number 24
the switch version came out hours after
it was announced at e3 2018 but not
without a bit of drama ps4 users were
being locked out of using their account
on switch edition of the game due to
Sony's policies which also restricted
cross play between ps4 and twitch
entirely this did however get resolved
dr. metric fluff ton of backlash so we
can all get completely destroyed by PC
players together in harmony
number 25 as fortnight blew up in
popularity in the first half of 2018 the
game is since garnered 8.3 million
concurrent players subscriber gold am i
right mother factors I should get one
one facts - what about million subs
hashtag YouTube life hashtag get tilted
number 26 they also have over 200
million players overall which is about
the same population size of Pakistan for
some more context there while the
Warcraft has 100 million registered
accounts and minecraft has 91 million
monthly players trends rise and fall in
popularity but right now it's
fortnight's turn up top until apex
legends that is number 27 despite being
free-to-play fortnight might well be the
most lucrative video game in history
they made more than 1 billion dollars
from in-game purchases alone which is
well it's more money than I can
realistically conceive especially since
it only gained popularity about a year
ago god I could buy a lot of chicken
nitrogen Haribo with us number 28 a big
reason for the game's profit abilities
due to the battle pass if you don't know
how butter pus works while buying it
gives you access to exclusive challenges
and unlocks which rewards you for your
play they change with every season so
not only is there new reasons to keep
playing it also bans a frantic fear of
missing out when it comes to making the
most of your bathroom post purchase
number 29
Myrtle Pass was designed to be the
antithesis of other free to play models
epic games producer Roger column
reference to time play tactics of mobile
games and pay to win loot boxes as a
blueprint for what not to do
turning specifically to how League of
Legends monetizes its content without
damaging the free experience of the game
take the hint EA oh you did oh well I
stand corrected number 30 if you really
really want an unfathomable statistic to
represent how popular fortnight is look
no further than twitch a sport night has
been watched for over 5,000 years worth
of time on the platform in just two
weeks
that's just short of 2.2 million hours
and that stat doesn't even include
YouTube which is insane number 31 this
amount of time is so significant that
media giant such as Netflix consider for
tonight to be its biggest competitor
since they're competing for people's
spare time too rather than other TV
services which aren't doing nearly as
much bangers Netflix are but which do
you prefer in this imaginary competition
that's now apparently happening bot
night or Netflix let me know in this
fancy YouTube power number 32 fortnight
is not just killing the competition but
its own company's property too as its
overnight success resulted in many teams
being moved to develop solely for the
game this inevitably shut down
production on the title Paragon
completely more like powered gone that
pun doesn't work and just saying the
same word twice let's move on number 30
spray well for tonight caused the loss
of Paragon the game will live on in
another form
epic decided to release all the assets
from Paragon on to the unreal
marketplace completely for free that's
12 million dollars of digital assets
usable by anyone in their own projects
with no strings attached
sounds pretty epic to me number 34 are
you sick of us talking about fortnight's
massive success well tough you're on the
wrong video we've got one more fact
about it to fortnight's has won a bunch
of awards including game of the year
2018 at the golden joysticks the game
award for best multiplayer game and most
prestigious of all the Teen Choice Award
for videogame fortnight just oozes
highbrow prestige and everyone knows it
number 35 fortnight in pub Jean might
still dominate the battle realm
landscape but there are plenty of other
games chopping into competition these
include realm royale me neither call of
duty black ops 4 blackout mode and the
latest Challenger apex legends apex
seems to be the biggest threat is it
gained 10 million players and 1 million
concurrent players on its first day will
this fresh meat to be able to keep up
the momentum though only time will tell
number 36 with the riser fortnight also
came Tyler ninja Blevins who was the
first streamer to reach 10 million
followers and is thought to earn more
than five hundred thousand dollars a
month I mean what are we doing here guys
we don't know more than that let's all
go play fortnight no that's not number
37
Blevins was a professional gamer before
fortnight's he starts a professional
gaming on Halo 3 back in 2009 became a
streamer in 2011 and played h1z1 in pub
G before making the traitorous
- they commenced a fortnight before
before number 38 ninjas ascension -
which royalty hasn't been without
controversy though in one case he said
he wouldn't play with girls on his
stream because it might spark rumors of
him being romantically involved with
women other than his wife this was met
with significant backlash since cutting
off the opportunity to work with the
biggest personality on a huge media
platform for half the population might
just be seeing this problematic no one
could've seen that coming
much like a ninja actually hey wait a
minute number 39 lebens caused more
bother when he falsely accused another
user of screen sniping him a form of
cheating where someone watches someone
stream to work out their location he
went to great lengths trying to get this
YouTube and calling him out to his large
audience and getting on to his direct
content at Epic Games because he
couldn't handle the fact that someone
was watching a stream that's available
to the public
he sounds fun to play with number 40
ninja is a generous fellow when it comes
to dealing out some tips and tricks
though if you want moves like Tyler like
the maroon 5 song he advises would-be
pros to learn the map state coast of the
storms actually won't be flam from
behind and always usual shields if you
have any I mean that last one it's
pretty obvious isn't it your services to
never stay still always be getting
resources or looting gym downtime and of
course practice you're building oh I
forgot to mention yet you can build lots
in this game he also says the young
players to finish their homework before
treating themselves to fortnight's maybe
he's not the worst role model number 41
while some companies don't know what to
do with retina gaming epic games have
decided to throw a buttload of money at
it which tends to work for most thinks
they will provide 100 million dollars to
fund the prize pools in fortnight
competitions that on the face of it
sounds absolutely ridiculous but
considering that the eSports industry
will cross the 1 billion dollar mark in
value in 2019 100 milli is a great
investment considering the potential
growth the meaning all for life despite
the crazy money dump epics first
competitive competition was a bit of a
disaster
latency issues help to eliminate top
players early on only 4 of the promised
10 matches were broadcast and the
gameplay itself turned out to be a
boring camp fest as everyone playing
hope to wait up the competition to
increase their chances of winning the
$250,000 prize money looks like stopping
the competition early made for a short
nights
number 43 every online game has its own
brand of terrible cheaters and fortnight
is no different
epoch is taking the battles to them by
suing two players but the names of mr.
Brue mr. frost spear for up to $150,000
in damages are not too caught up with
the mr. men law but those who don't
sound canon to me number 44 epic is also
sought to solve this by acquiring
anti-cheat company car mu responsible
for the software easy anti cheat their
software has been used in a variety of
online games including rust smite
Dragonball Fighters II paladins and was
already being used in fortnight itself
number 45 in what feels like the
billionth lawsuit involving this game
epic game sued a QA contractor over a
leak which revealed the result of a
season 4 game event if he accused thomas
hanna revealed where the meteor would
hit to a friend in his DMS which he
believed would remain confidential
it did not much like many things in the
ends so Hanna now not only has a huge
company breathing down his neck but he
probably lost a friend too and hey
that's the more hurtful thing here
number 46 founder of Epic Games and
creator of fortnight Tim Sweeney likes
to buy land a ton of land actually the
conservationists own 7,000 acres of
wilderness in North Carolina spending
fifteen million dollars to protect the
land from being bought by power company
and being built on which is well it's
kind of ironic really considering
fortnight is about building things
number 47
you know something has reached the main
string when pop icons get involved in
fortnight is no exception
professional mumbler Drake's a
modern-day Mozart behind hotline bling
join ninja for a charity stream I feel
bad for insulting their H because he did
donate $5,000 so sorry Drizzy number 48
ninja asked rake during the stream if he
would put any fortnight references into
the lyrics of one of his songs
Drake said that he would but only if
Epic Games put in the hotline bling'
dance as an amount
unfortunately that request was from
quite a while ago back in March 2018 and
it's been no news since so stale if
drank without a song would I floss in
your grave you know where it came from
number 49 if you want to know what the
fortnight font is it's Burbank and was
designed by Tali Ming bit of graphic
design knowledge for you there number 50
she can you believe it
this excellent drawing of a chicken
character by an eight-year-old made it
into for tonight as an actual character
with no foul play involved free chicken
comes down for price of one after the
touring is posted to Reddit Internet
strangers on the site helped him develop
and improve the idea before getting it
submitted to epic the developers floated
the idea and made the little boy's
vision a reality
number 51 parent will do many ridiculous
things to make their kids happy and one
of them is apparently hiring
professional Fortnight coaches to school
their kids on how to nab those victory
Royale for themselves here's a tip just
get good well some parents claim it's to
prevent their child from being bullied
at school others hope for their children
to go professional and earn the kind of
money eSports due to its competitors
they can pay up to $30 an hour for a
coach $30 an hour I could save up for a
signed autograph from Jennifer Lawrence
for that kind of money but probably be
just as useful number 52 in what may be
the most mean field crossover of all
time Marvel Studios those absolute blaze
of my life teamed up with epic twit fan
awesome fortnight for a limited time
there was a game-mode which let players
pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and become
planners who had devastating powers and
an intimidating amount of health he can
also dance you could make furnace dance
number 53 their loss isn't the only game
mode to come and go is these limited
time events come in many shapes and
sizes these include the 50 V 50 mode
pretty self-explanatory their steady
storm where the storm doesn't stop
closing in one shot where players have
low health low gravity and sniper
weapons and bare bones which limits the
GUI or GUI or graphical user interface
on screen number 54 would epic make any
of their limited time mode permanent or
who you ask well well Thanos probably
won't return mode such as 50 V 50 do
have the demand for it also add to that
the fact that playground one of the game
modes what's made permanent at the end
of last year if it was possible for
playground why not others number 55 one
of the more unique and weird events to
happen in the game was the first ever
virtual music concert headed up by EDM
artists marshmallow this 10 minutes
concert was played in game at pleasant
park and coincided with a bunch of bible
marshmallow skins and emotes
whoever this Marsh fellow is he's got
incredible business savvy partnering a
four
nights good on you marshy lad number 56
one of the most famous skins in the game
is named the Reaper with the description
vengeance for higher it was a really
difficult skin to get as it required
getting level 100 in season three's
battle paths so anyone seen with it can
be assumed to have put in the hours
it also directly references Keanu Reeves
character John wick the badass gun for
hire with infinity for poppers and
revenge number 57 the game makes plenty
oh wow sorry whoa whoa puberty come back
the game makes plenty of references to
pop culture in their other skins to the
rust Lord Skinner's are not the
star-lord and guns the galaxy the Black
Knight references Monty Python and
shieldmaiden looks a lot like Katheryn
Winnick shield maiden in the TV show
Vikings number 58 there was a player who
managed to grab the name fortnight
winner as they use a handle however they
went 1,000 games in a row without ever
winning which I honestly can empathize
with aim for the stars though but number
59 YouTube rewind 2018 which heavily
featured fortnight and Will Smith making
guttural noises delighted at the sight
of the battle bus is the most disliked
video on the entire platform
it featured ninja a bunch of late night
hosts during fortnight dances because
you know that's what this platform is
about and YouTube is dropping onto an
island I mean it's truly awful number 60
fortnight resurrected an age-old
argument of how video games might
negatively affect children are Garber
heard it all before many see their
children neglecting a school work and
barely leaving the house to play
fortnight as a gaming disorder which is
a proposed condition by the World Health
Organization's in September 2018
despite this vital research still needs
to be done into the phenomenon and it's
only known to affect a small amount of
people professor Andy sure Bilski from
the Oxford University says that there's
nothing from a psychologists perspective
to be worried about when it comes to
fortnight and that it's popular because
it's free and accessible not because
it's violent which it really isn't
number 61 there are some concerning
cases when it comes to the fortnight
child addiction arguments one case
involved a nine-year-old girl who ended
up wetting herself after playing
fortnight for 10 hours and punched her
dad in the face when he tried to
confiscate the game thankfully she's now
seeking treatment at a clinic for her
problems but it's not every day you hear
about a nine-year-old needing therapy
I've playing too many video games number
62 the supply llama has become an iconic
part of the game but there was some
controversy around the V buck llamas in
the save the world shop as they
resembled loot boxes from other games
the entire country of Belgium rule that
loot boxes are a form of gambling as you
and any kid who are buying them do not
know what the items are in sight this is
bird fortnight to make the llamas show
what's inside them so epic have dodged
some sort of child gambling calamity
number 63 another problem fortnight has
had was in the next book to do with aim
assist if you increased fortnight's FPS
to 240 it increases the effectiveness of
aim assist so much that your crosshairs
will magnetically lock on to the head of
your desired target with aimbot
precision - shame they've patched up
really because it's really the kind of
cheating I need Nintendo 64 fortnight
monopoly exists because Hasbro will not
stop until they've made a monopoly of
literally everything in existence which
actually sounds appropriate considering
the name we've got one coming soon while
I won monopoly long not really but it
comes with fortnight pieces and unique
battle royale rules the Fort Knox
Edition that is so dropping your
monopoly money on property works a
little bit differently this time round
number 65
while some teachers worry about students
playing the game in class others reacted
in a different way a group of students
but their chemistry teacher than if they
could get 6700 retweets on their tweeter
challenge the teacher would have to make
their final test about fortnight's they
got over 30,000 retweets and the teacher
made good on his word turns out those
sport night coaches from before seemed
less stupid now but also those kids
education is gonna suffer as a result
number 66 you can dance if you want to
in fortnight you can leave your friends
behind because your friends don't dance
and if they don't dance then they're no
friends of mine anyway I've got
distracted there but the game features
plenty of unlockable dance taunts many
of which are based on real dancers from
pop culture the default dance is the one
Turk does in scrubs damn kids don't know
scrubs number 67 just hey everything
it's all awful other notable real-life
dancers and moves put into the game as
emotes include the salt bay meme the
best mates dance from marlin web Gangnam
style and take the El is a salt mix
between sports fans and Pennywise his
dance from 2017 it number 68 the story
of orange justice it's not a story the
Jedi would tell you a young boy in an
orange tea
submitted a dance to epic games as part
of their boogie down contest
he lost scumming in 23rd but people on
the internet campaigns that the kid
starts to be put in any way just this
for the orange shirt kid was eventually
served as the dance called orange
justice was put in the game and balance
was restored to the universe number 69
drop me like the bangbus unfortunately
the mother of orange justice kid has
recently decided to sue Epic Games for
their use of the dancers and emote which
is strange since the dance was clearly
submitted for a fortnight competition
the competition rules did explicitly say
though that epic would retain the rights
to the dance and the winner wouldn't be
paid money for the dance it remains to
be seen if justice will be served either
way as the case continues number 70
Epic's trouble was far from over though
is they would receive numerous more
lawsuits concerning the dance emotes in
the game these would come from Milly
Rock the flossing backpack kid Anton
fondue Ruby Arrow who famously played
Carlton banks in The Fresh Prince of
bel-air number 71 the reason why
fortnight's feels comfortable using
these dances is because they are such a
difficult thing to copyright you have to
determine whether the dance is owned by
the dancer or the choreographers or
whether it's a social dance which
everyone can perform or if it's long
enough to be a choreographed routine
rather than the potential building block
to another dance no one wants the site
for the creativity of dance as a whole
certainly not me since new dances are
often amalgamations and involved
versions of all the ones in short and
thank you for listening to my TED talk
there's a reason why fortnight she was
legally comfortable with their seconds
long emotes number 272 the developers of
fortnight paid homage to their
multiplayer shooter history by putting
in a poster in the game depicting the
Unreal Tournament map facing world's
there it is look there number 73 another
poster depicting epics history can be
found displaying the character jazz
jackrabbit released back in the 90s when
wacky cartoon videogame characters were
all the rage number 74 there's an
incredibly rare chance that when
erecting a stone wall don't laugh come
on you'll produce an own bearing wall as
in your wall will have a gnome in it it
does absolutely nothing but hey looks
nice a number 75 a statue made out of
cars and a truck can be found which some
have said is a reference to Optimus
Prime at transformers Fame but that's
wrong it's clearly truckasaurus from The
Simpsons kids these days
number 76 every game begins on what's
known as spawn island as players connect
and wait for the round to begin you can
actually see it from the main map but
it's not designed to be reachable since
it's surrounded by invisible walls this
obstacle was proved you become back in
June 2018 with a shopping cart glitch
but this exploit was swiftly patched
away for now the promised land remains
just out of reach at least after you get
on the battle bus number 77 australian
youtuber marcel trying to rescue a
player stuck at the bottom of a cliff
without any materials to build up but
hilariously murders him by accident with
a golf cart we've all been there epic
games wanting to pay tribute to this
tragic failure of her mission have
placed a tombstone in the game at the
same place the manslaughter occurred
number 78 a kill streak by Elemental
underscore ray a player with a 0.47 kill
ratio ie not that great but probably
better than me has the highest solo kill
streak in the entire game standing at a
ridiculous 48 kills how is that possible
well during the month in a light tone
rocket launch event many planes in the
game built a large ramp to a platform
where they could watch the light show
unfold before them and a mental ray saw
the opportunity here and destroyed the
ramp from underneath causing them to
plummet to their deaths number 79 the
marks are the in-game currency with
which you can buy all the cosmetic items
and luxuries dancers skins you know
anything that makes you look super cool
and fly the V stands for vendor tech
which is a fictional technology company
found in the save the world mode intern
vendor tech is named after the
mysterious doctor vendor Minh turns out
there's a super deep lore and it doesn't
stand for bergeon bucks like the YouTube
comments tell me number 80 it's not only
the kids who were getting in on the port
knight craze as weirdly criminals are
using v bucks to launder money
criminals do this by purchasing v bucks
with stolen credit cards and reselling
them for a discount on the dark web Epic
Games is trying to combat these issues
but experts say they've not done enough
and crime thrives on the platform number
81 the vault or whenever something is
bolted refers to an epic removes items
and features from the game for various
reasons usually because of gameplay
balance while a volatile item may have
been removed from play they may return
at a later stage once it's been tweaked
to work with current gameplay
some of these include the zapper Tron
the crossbow and the jetpack number 82
they used to be two different
types of jump hat a directional one
which sauntered player in a direction
and a vertical jump and which catapults
the player vertically these got
condensed into the belts pad which gives
the player the height with control over
sideways traversal the bounce pad though
eventually got bolted but there's still
the launch pad which is the closest
method of traversal number 83 fortnight
in shoot a new weapon into the fray
called the Infinity Blade on December
the 10th 2018 and then took it out of
the game four days later despite only
dropping once per game the sword was
deemed too powerful but there is still a
chance it could make more of a nerved
appearance in the future number 84
fortnight's now goes through seasons
where various changes happen to the
ever-evolving map and comes with fresh
challenges and skins available until
next season rolls around number 85 with
these seasons also come live events and
vague story developments involving meets
yours interdimensional cubes and zombie
creatures invading and destroying parts
of the island I'm not quite sure what
the stories actually about but I guess
it's cool that it interacts with players
in real time I mean a plot would be nice
but number 86 not all seasons are
created equal though as the first season
only came out with the disappointing 5
obtainable rewards overall 5 this was
when challenges were first introduced oh
so the game was still finding its feet
number 87 season 2 step things up in
December 2017 as they introduced the
battle password tears going up to 70
this was also when the flosser boat came
in and rewarded top tier earners with
the Black Knight armor number 88 season
3 was when the game started to get
really popular so it's a good thing the
season had some great offerings beyond
its superb space theme I mean Wow as
well as hints of an incoming meteor
strike this more it introduced snobby
shores haunted hills and tilted towers
to the map as well as throwing the game
at a bombshell that was explosives into
the fortnight Arsenal number 89
tilted towers is one of the busiest and
most contested areas in fortnight due to
the density of the loot film there and
its vertical environment because it's
volatile nature with such a shake up for
the game its introduction brought
controversy and hope that the incoming
meteor which appeared during season 3
would obliterate it this meets your
eventually destroyed dusty Depot for
season 4 but tilted towers did lose a
three-story building number 90 wild
season 4 brought meteoric destruction a
hub rocks which planted low gravity
jumping it also had a super
boom it introduced new locations such as
the villain there and risky reels as
well as the first vigor in the game the
shopping cart I can finally fulfill my
dream of playing Dale Winton supermarket
sweep in a videogame this one's for you
Dale
number 91 season 4 also featured the
fortnight blockbuster contest which
asked players to make their own
superhero movie using the replay system
the grand prize of $25,000 went to chant
the need for his film prepare for
collision number 92 when the meteors
approach was in-game that destruction
caused didn't happen in real time this
all changed with the rocket launch which
would be fortnight's first live event
again teasing the end of tilted the
rocket fell back to earth and nearly
crashed straight into it only for it to
disappear in amount of interdimensional
rift in space and time
all us players watch the events unfold
with their very own eyes 93 the risks
caused by the rocket would stick around
and grow until the end of season 4 for
season five though players could use
these newly spawned riffs to teleport
around the map they also introduced a
desert biome Paradise Palms circling
storm movement and toys which allow
players to get up there basketballs
beach balls golf balls and tomatoes and
play tomatoes there interactable - much
like the football or soccer balls dotted
around the map number 94 one of these
events interacted with real-life cracks
in time and space formed throughout the
map relocating disappearing iconic
objects and landmarks the der burger
mascot disappeared from atop the fast
food restaurant and a replica of it was
found in the desert in real life this
was confirmed to be a PR stunt by Epic
Games themselves but does that mean real
life is for tonight
number 95 never buy the cube from season
five was mysterious and layered but the
marked in the fortnight subreddit
prevented the word keep from being used
but I mean I have no idea why but anyway
this resulted in the cubing named Kevin
because well Kevin's alright as a name I
guess number 96
season six has all these mysterious
floating islands but all I really care
about is the pets this season brought in
little dog oohs dragons and chameleons
as animated back bling they're purely
hashtag aesthetics of course as
fortnight tries to keep up its
reputation for not being paid to win but
they are cute I can finally be the
Khaleesi I've always dreamed of being
number 97 season 7 is the latest one and
it centers around an icy cold glacial
theme to coincide with the winter period
snowy peaks and frozen lakes come with a
new vehicle in the form of a fighter
plane called the storm wing x4 this adds
a crazy amount of verticality to the
whole map because it's a plane after all
but everyone will definitely know
exactly where you are fair trade-off
really number 98 the gap between season
7 and season 8 is the longest in the
series but epic have finally announced
the start of the new season will roll
out on February 27th we haven't got a
clue what the theme is but we recommend
snooping around the map for hints like
these eggs for example could it be
Easter could it be fire-breathing
dragons that you know are just on your
back who knows oh wait hang on a minute
Game of Thrones that's all in a couple
months maybe it's you know the Battle of
the I can't say that what I'm you
cheaper yeah keep an eye number 99
fortnight creative is the latest mode to
be built where you can build your
heart's content it's basically a more
Minecraft e fortnight mode with the
focus on customizing your own port night
games or building something with friends
ah it's a neat way to lean on the
building aspect of the game rather than
the fighting and I can only imagine how
many body parts have been built and
erected in that mode number 100 storm
incoming as if for tonight wasn't
already everywhere they may well be
releasing a real port night soda
based on the in-game item slurp juice
when the idea was suggested to Donald
mustard a stomach right name on Twitter
he replied with this mm emoji
that's not exactly much to go on but
they did serve the drink at twitchcon in
2018 so maybe they do want to print more
money number 101
will there ever be a new map rather than
an ever-changing one epic say there
could well be but that they aren't
focused on that right now
citing the constant changes they make to
the current one to keep the game fresh
this is due to their ever-growing list
of whack-a-mole problems such as
cheaters and server issues
Never Say Never though so that was 101
fact about fortnight what did you think
did you enjoy it which skin is your
favorite and which emote is your
favorite and are we too late on this is
a pic two legends already taking over
let us know in the comment down below
also good as video one like and
subscribe to 101 facts if you haven't
done so already because it's what all
the cool kids are doing it's cooler than
a boatload of V bucks guys in the
meantime though my god look at these two
videos that on screen now they're both
the pinnacle of 101 'dom and you're
gonna really dig them even moreso than a
mole click on one and I'll see you there
I'll be waiting bye
