What's Fortnite
Fortnite is a co-op sandbox survival game developed by Epic Games and People Can Fly and published by Epic Games.
The game was released as a paid-for early access title for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 25, 2017, with a full free-to-play release expected in 2018.
The game is set in contemporary Earth, where the sudden appearance of a worldwide storm causes 98% of the world's population to disappear, and zombie-like creatures rise to attack the remainder.
Fortnite has up to four players cooperating on various missions on randomly-generated maps to collect resources, build fortifications around defensive objectives that are meant to help fight the storm and protect survivors,
and construct weapons and traps to engage in combat with waves of these creatures that attempt to destroy the objectives.
Players gain rewards through these missions to improve their hero characters, support teams, and arsenal of weapon and trap schematics to be able to take on more difficult missions.
Fortnite currently, has two game modes where players can team up and have fun.
Save The World
Fortnite’s Save the World mode has different gameplay to the popular Battle Royale game,
with a heavier focus on exploration and survival against AI enemies rather than fighting each other.
It is a sandbox game that sees players work together to collect supplies, build weapons and create structures using many of the items seen in Battle Royale.
The game also includes its own unique weapons including swords and pistols with laser sight.
Battle Royale
Battle Royale" is based on a single, large island with an ever-shrinking habitable area. If you're outside of that area, your health begins to drain until you're dead.
This way, players are forced together rather than able to hide. In that sense, it's important to aggressively go after the enemy. But also, watch your back!
The first thing you do in "Fortnite: Battle Royale" is jump out of a purple flying bus and parachute down to an island. The island is full of distinct regions,
and it's littered with resources: Guns, explosives, med packs, shields, and various materials (WOOD, BRICK, METAL).
With nothing other than a pick-axe, you desperately need resources to survive.
The world is destructible, so with every swing of your pick-axe you'll wear down whatever object you're striking, whether it's a tree or a brick wall.
