Fortnite: Battle Royale had some struggles last week as scheduled downtime for maintenance turned into an unexpected, extended downtime followed by a set of bugs that both affected social features and gameplay, but the popular battle royale game has stabilized again by this point. Not only that, but buried inside one of those patches seems to be a brand-new game mode for anyone looking to shake up the standard 100-person deathmatch gameplay: Sniper Shootout, available now until February 2.

Sniper Shootout is what it sounds like: Fortnite: Battle Royale but with a whole ton of sniper rifles. All weapon drops have been replaced with snipers save a few revolvers sprinkled in to keep close-quarters combat from becoming a slapstick routine of close-up scoping. I jumped into a game and got a blue sniper in the first house I went to and was blown out of the water almost immediately afterward. Sniper rifles, generally speaking, are a high-skill weapon, and that makes Sniper Shootout a high-skill mode. Expect to get killed a lot, or if you're good, expect to kill a lot.

I'll be interested to see how this affects gameplay: I assume it will mean a whole lot less action in the middle of the safe zone and a whole lot more around the periphery, as players try to stay out of the open and try to use the storm as a way of ensuring that they won't get shot from behind. Open areas will become death traps and player-built forts could become more important as players seek a way to get maximum cover while still allowing them a way to shoot at enemies. Lucky players that land closer to the safe zone could get an even bigger advantage than usual if they manage to build out easily-defensible positions because enemies won't have as many options for closing the distance and countering a camping strategy.

Epic has talked before about how a steady stream of changes, new items and limited-time events is crucial to its strategy for Fortnite going forward as a way of keeping the free-to-play game feeling dynamic. In the past, we've seen a silenced pistol and an insane 50 vs. 50 mode, as well as the usual suite of rotating cosmetics and holiday events. That's at the same time as a large-scale technical streamlining and massive map rework, of course. At some point, we're going to have to talk about Fortnite without comparing it to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but it's constant evolution and iteration like this that could give Fortnite an edge in what's currently a two-game faceoff. PUBG is a great game, but Epic's inside-out fluency in Unreal Engine appears to have given it a game with a much easier development pipeline.

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PS4, Xbox One, PC) hat einen neuen Spielmodus spendiert bekommen, der ab sofort spielbar ist: Scharfschützengefecht. Aber beeilt euch – der Spielmodus rund um die Sniper ist nicht unbegrenzt verfügbar!

Server-Probleme, Login-Schwierigkeiten, keine Gruppen-Funktionen – Epic hatte in der letzten Woche mit einigen Schwierigkeiten in Fortnite: Battle Royale zu kämpfen. Seit dem 29.01. dürft Ihr euch dafür in einem brandneuen Modus austoben:Scharfschützengefecht!

Konkret wurden alle Waffen auf der Karte durch Scharfschützengewehre ausgetauscht. Damit Nahkämpfe nicht zum Hüpf- und Hoffspektakel werden, hat Epic zumindest ein paar Revolver auf der Karte verteilt, damit auch aus kürzeren Distanzen Kämpfe bestritten werden können.

Snipen und heilen dürft Ihr – aber keine Granaten werfen

Auch die obligatorischen Support-Gegenstände wie Schilde und Medikits könnt Ihr auf der Karte finden. Ausgeschlossen hat Epic nur die Granaten, um die Gefechte rein auf die Waffen zu konzentrieren.

Siden lanseringen av Fortnite Battle Royale i fjor har Epic Games stadig puslet med nye måter å friske opp opplevelsen. Like før jul fikk spillere prøve seg på kamper med to lag på 50 spillere i et par dager, og nå har utvikleren lansert nok en midlertidig spillmodus.

Sniper Shootout er, som navnet tilsier, en snikskytterfokusert modus som åpner for en litt annen måte å spille på. I modusen får man kun tilgang på langdistanserifler, samt revolvere for nærkamp. Ved siden av spillets resterende våpen er også granater fjernet, mens andre gjenstander som førstehjelp og ressurser for å bygge får bli.

Modusen kan spilles på samtlige plattformer, men er kun tilgjengelig frem til 2. februar.

Populært skytespill

Med denne og enda flere moduser i fremtiden ser Epic ut til å ville bygge videre på Fortnite-suksessen fra 2017. Skytespillet fikk opprinnelig en rolig start, men etter lanseringen av Battle Royale-delen har populariteten skutt til værs.

For et par uker siden kunngjorde utvikleren at spillerbasen har nådd svimlende 40 millioner, fordelt på PC, PlayStation 4 og Xbox One. Til sammenligning hadde hovedkonkurrenten Playerunknown's Battlegrounds rundt 30 millioner på samme tidspunkt, men det er verdt å nevne at Fortnite Battle Royale er gratis mens PUBG koster 260 kroner.

I takt med veksten får spillet også jevnlige oppdateringer, og nylig kom en stor overhaling av spillbrettet. Du kan lese mer om de ulike endringene her.

Much like what we saw with MOBAs years ago, battle royale-style games are all the rage thanks to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' domination of Steam. Fortnite beat PUBG to consoles and is available as a free-to-play title, and it introduces building mechanics to the mix that you don't get with PUBG. Like PUBG developer Bluehole, Epic has enjoyed an incredible level of success, with more than 40 million players spread across Fortnite: Battle Royale and the PvE Survive the World component.

Even more standalone battle royale games are undoubtedly on the way, but Fortnite won't be the only existing title to integrate the mode in some fashion. Grand Theft Auto V has already done so in modest fashion with Motor Wars mode, but there are a variety of other games--both those already playable and some that are still in development--that we think could also make interesting use of the concept. In the video above, we run down five games that should consider putting their own spin on battle royale in 2018.

There was some controversy surrounding Fortnite last year, as PUBG's developer made it known that it was less than pleased with "the similarities between the battle royale mode in Epic Games' newly revealed Fortnite and PUBG." The complaint is more complicated than it appears on the surface, as PUBG uses Unreal Engine 4, which is built by Fortnite maker Epic Games.PUBG's developer seemingly threatened legal action, though nothing has come of that yet--at least publicly.

Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, who is credited with having established the genre as a modder, said last year, "I just feel that Fortnite: Battle Royale is a bit lazy to me. They could have had a great game because Fortnite is amazing and they could have put some unique, interesting building [systems] in there, almost like a tower defense Battle Royale, but they just didn't. But what can you do? It's going to happen. It's the nature of business I guess."

Whether upcoming battle royale modes and games put enough of a spin on the formula to satisfy Greene remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: They are coming.

Sniper Shootout privilegia el combate a distancia

TagsFortniteFortnite Battle RoyaleEpic Games
Después de atravesar algunas complicaciones por problemas relacionados con sus servidores, la experiencia Battle Royale de Fortnite está de regreso y con un nuevo modo de juego enfocado en el enfrentamiento a distancia, así que prepárate para Sniper Shootout.

Epic Games, compañía responsable de Fortnite, lanzó el nuevo modo de juego para su componente Battle Royale, Sniper Shootout. Como su nombre lo indica, la experiencia privilegiará el combate a distancia y para conseguir tal objetivo la mayoría de las armas han sido sustituidas por rifles de francotirador, exceptuando algunas pistolas tipo revólver para aquellos ataques a corta distancia. En cuestión de ítems y consumibles todo se mantiene igual, salvo las granadas, que no estarán disponibles el tiempo que dure el evento.

El modo Sniper Shootout del Battle Royale de Fortnite está disponible desde este momento y será hasta el próximo 2 de febrero que salga de la rotación. Siendo la primera vez que este modo está disponible, su reaparición estará determinada por la recepción de los jugadores.

Fortnite está disponible en PS4, Xbox One y PC. En este enlace encontrarás toda la información relacionada con el exitoso título multijugador de Epic Games.

Few things are more divisive in shooter games than sniping. You either love taking a perfect shot from all the way across the map, or you hate getting your noggin popped by somebody you never even see. Depending on which camp you're in, Fortnite: Battle Royale's latest limited-time mode is either long-range bliss or an intensive form of exposure therapy: welcome to Sniper Shootout.

Fancy yourself a good shot? The Sniper Shootout Limited Time Mode is live right now! P.S. You'll have revolvers for those closer engagements. pic.twitter.com/glPhBUZZCuJanuary 29, 2018

Pick this mode and you'll be dropped into a nightmare world where sniper rifles (bolt-action or semi-automatic) and revolvers are the only guns. Can you tell I'm awful with both of those weapon types? Consumable items like the new health-and-shield-maxing Chug Jug still spawn as normal so you can heal back up after some bastard on a mountain peak roughly two states away misjudges their shot and just puts a hole in your chest instead of your head.

Yes, I'm salty, but I'm also going to keep playing this mode because I desperately need sniping practice for shooter games in general (Fortnite: Battle Royale is free, so you might consider doing the same even if you haven't tried it yet). I'm getting a feel for bullet drop, now I just need to work on leading my targets so I can hit people who aren't standing still as they scroll through build mode. Speaking of building, the lack of explosive weapons and need for good vantage points make Sniper Shootout a very fort-friendly mode, too. As long as I don't shoot you.

Like all of Fortnite: Battle Royale's limited-time modes, Sniper Shootout is playable only in squad mode. You can disable the automatic team-filling option if you don't have any buddies to play with and you're tired of being matched up with teammates who never try to revive you even if you're holding your guts in right next to them (yep, still salty over here). You'll be at a disadvantage against squads that actually work together, but at least you won't have to wait for your character to bleed out to make sure you get your rightfully earned challenge progress.

Sniper Shootout will end on Friday, February 2. Make sure you check out all the neat new spots on the updated Fortnite: Battle Royale map while you're building towers everywhere.

Cada poco tiempo Epic Games nos sorprende con alguna novedad que ha implementado en 'Fortnite: Battle Royale' y ahora acaba de comunicar que acaba de introducir un nuevo modo de juego llamado Sniper Shootout, el cual encantará sobre todo a aquellos que les encante repartir tiros a lo lejos con rifles francotiradores.

Naturalmente las armas que podremos encontrar principalmente por el mapa serán estas, pero no las únicas. Para permitir combates más cercanos también habrá revólveres por algunas zonas, aunque lo que sí que se ha eliminado son las granadas, así que tocará estar atento más que nunca a todas partes porque no se sabrá desde dónde nos pueden disparar.

Following some server issues that cropped up last week, Epic Games has once again brought something new for players to do in Fortnite. The Battle Royale portion of the game has announced a new limited-time mode for all players on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and it's available now.

Sniper Shootout is now live, and as you can probably guess, it's a sniper rifle-centric experience. All weapons on the map have been replaced by sniper rifles, though you'll also find some revolvers to make short-range encounters less of the nightmare they'd be with snipers only. Consumables can also be found like normal, but grenades have been removed to ensure it's the aforementioned weapons (or melee attacks) that are involved in any kills.

This is the first instance of Sniper Shootout, so it remains to be seen if it'll become a regular part of the rotation. It should make the new city area introduced in the recent Fortnite map revampan especially popular drop zone, what with all the tall buildings.

You'll have only a few days to check out the mode, as it will rotate out on Friday, February 2. There's no word on what will be next, but other limited-time modes we've seen include those that focus on suppressed weapons or explosives. Another turned the game into a 50v50 affair, which I was particularly fond of.

A new Fortnite update was released last week, but it was accompanied by extended downtime due to an issue with the game's servers. Subsequently, players again found they wereunable to play or join up with friends, though Epic has since released a fix for the social/party issues. An additional, smallerFortnite patch was also deployed over the weekend to fix some other lingering bugs.

Epic Games has announced that Paragon will cease to exist in a matter of months (Picture: Metro/Epic Games) Epic Games has announced that Paragon will cease to exist in a matter of months. 
The MOBA has been a cult success for the American developer following its free-to-play release back in 2016, with the game’s Beta version building a close relationship between core gamers and its devs. 
More often than not the developers of the game listened directly to feedback and implemented it in patches and upgrades. Sadly for the Paragon, rumours of Fortnite killing the game appear to be true, as Epic recently posted a statement confirming that they were shutting the game down on April 26. 
Posting a statement to the game’s page on its website, the developer explained it was with ‘heavy hearts’ that they have decided to ‘close down’ the game. 

Launch trailer for Paragon Play Video Loaded: 0% Progress: 0% PlayMute Current Time 0:00 / Duration Time 0:00 Fullscreen Thanking players for all their commitment and loyalty, the statement read: ‘We truly appreciate everything you’ve put into Paragon. 
We received many passionate ideas for where to take the game; the outpouring of thoughtful suggestions is another testament to this incredible community. 
‘After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn’t a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable.’
 Shouldering the blame themselves, the statement added: ‘We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. 
We have failed you — despite the team’s incredibly hard work — and we’re sorry. 
‘To try to make this right, Epic is offering a full refund to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform. 
This refund will come directly from Epic rather than your platform provider.’

 Sadly for the Paragon, rumours of Fortnite killing the game appear to be true, as Epic recently posted a statement confirming that they were shutting the game down on April 26 (Picture: Epic Games) The statement signed off by saying thank you to everyone who played the game and embarked on the journey with the team behind it. 
It also provided instructions on how to request a refund for any content bough on any of Paragon’s platforms. 
The news comes shortly after Epic sparked concern that the huge popularity Fortnite has sparked would kill of its older and lesser-known brother. 
The rumours and worry all started with a post from the official Epic Games account on Paragon’s Reddit page, which blamed slowdown on the success of its newer title:‘First, the team’s time is split between immediate improvements and longer-term efforts, so there’s less visible progress. 
Second, a number of Paragon team members jumped onto Fortnite to help sustain the game as it has grown far larger than anything in Epic’s past.’ 
Well, that was pretty much the writing on the wall. 
Paragon’s fate may also make fans of Unreal Tournament fear for the franchise’s latest instalment, which is currently being worked on, as key players from the development team for Unreal helped create Fortnite. 
It would be unlikely that they’d be pulled from the (now hugely popular) game’s team. 
But to ease Unreal fans fears, at the moment, there’s so far been no official rumblings of that.

Fortnite servers aren’t the problem tonight as players on PS4 have seen the return of queues.

This is actually down to a new PSN server outage, which is currently affecting core online services.

PS4 players have not been given an ETA on when the issues might be solved, with Epic providing the information they have, via their official Twitter account.

Epic have told fans that some players on PS4 may still be experiencing issues logging in and that they should be watching the official PSN Status website for updates.

Players are currently seeing a lot of Fortnite Waiting in Queueerror messages when trying to play on the PS4.

These pop up when the game becomes inaccessible for players online, which can be linked to several different issues.

Today saw the PlayStation Network go offline for the past few hours, leaving many unable to play top multiplayer titles.

While tonight’s issues are not part of problems with the Fortnite servers, there have been plenty of issues this week.

Epic Games confirmed that a big bump in their player count has been one of the main issues for server issues and party functions not working properly.

“Fortnite has had another big bump in player count this week and we were not prepared for it,” a message from the Epic support team reads.

“We have had a ton of issues and we are working hard to getting them sorted. We can't apologize to our players enough, and you can be sure that we are going to make this right. 

“We can only ask you for your patience. We will likely be taking Fortnite offline for a while so we can work through this. 

“We'll let you know when that will happen. We will update you soon on the next steps.”
