10 Less Known Facts About Fortnite

Fortnite is an online video game developed by Epic Games and released in 2017. It is available in three distinct game mode versions that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine: Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game in which up to 100 players fight to be the last person standing; Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative hybrid tower defense-shooter and survival game in which up to four players fight off zombie-like creatures and defend objects with traps and fortifications they can build; and Fortnite Creative, in which players are given complete freedom to create worlds and battle arenas.

10 Less Known Facts About Fortnite:

1. If you win at Fortnite, you might also floss like a boss!

When doing well, Fortnite players can perform celebratory dances in the game; by far the most popular is flossing…Nice. So you are probably not doing it because you suck at the game.

2. Fortnite Battle Royale is based on a film based on a book:

The game was inspired by a Japanese film called ‘Battle Royale’, where school kids are trapped on an island and fight it out until just one of them is left! However, that film is based on a novel by author Koushun Takami, written in 1999.

3. Fortnite can be a profession.

The Fortnite World Cup has a prize pool of $30 million, or around £22 million. Players travel to New York to compete for a piece of the prize money at the Fortnite World Cup. A 16-year-old player finished with 59 points and won $3 million in 2019. Dollar bills y’all! You should try this after you fail high school.

4. Fortnite has cool cars too, and you don’t need a license to drive:

As well as cool sporty looks, the Whiplash has an extra built-in boost which gives you more speed and an advantage in your challenges. Awesome!

5. Fortnite is an example of the quote”Never Give Up”.

Epic Games said they were working on the game in 2011, but it didn’t get launched until 2017! Worth the wait, I think.

6. Popularity at its peeeeek!!

Fortnite is a VERY popular game, and most of the accounts are on mobile devices. There are over 200 million accounts worldwide. People are playing this game everywhere, at every skill level. HUGE!

7. Something you might never get.

A lot of skins in Fortnite are rare, but none as rare as the Recon Expert. This is because not a lot of people bought these skins when Fortnite Battle Royale was first launched, so now very few have them! If you have it let me know in the comments. (also if you are interested in selling your account just let me know, and we will talk privately).

9. In Fortnite: Save The World, the zombie-like creatures are called ‘husks'(not for blondes and Karens):

These Husks are in most missions as the main enemy, where they stagger towards players looking pretty grim, with their skulls showing and the skin all pulled back. Gross!

10. You get banned if you cheat(I know that as a former banned world record holder).

Epic Games, who created and own Fortnite, are really not cool with people cheating. They have sued people in the past who have been caught doing this. Fair! (I found out that the hard way).
