Hello guys! Do you like Fortnite? If so, today’s quiz is especially for you. Did you know that there are many different dances loved by players? A few of them have gained great fame. People worldwide dance it, often without even knowing where it comes from. Is there any dance that is your favorite? However, if you are unfamiliar with Fortnite and cannot answer this question yet, I would like to introduce this game to you. Let’s see.
Fortnite is an online video game developed by Epic Games. The early access of this game was released on July 25th, 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.
Save the World and Battle Royale were released in 2017 as early access titles. Creative was released at the end of 2018. Save the World and Creative versions have been successful for Epic Games. Fortnite Battle Royale, in particular, became an overwhelming success and a cultural phenomenon, drawing more than 125 million players in less than a year, earning hundreds of millions of dollars per month. Fortnite, as a whole, generated $9 billion in gross revenue up until December 2019.
Fortnite: Save the World is a cooperative game, with four players collaborating towards a common objective on various missions. The game is set after a fluke storm appears across Earth, causing the population to disappear. The survivors are attacked by zombie-like “husks”. Players take the role of commanders. They collect resources, save survivors, and defend equipment that helps to either collect data on the storm or to push back the storm. After the completed mission, players are awarded several in-game items like hero characters, weapons, trap schematics, and survivors. They can be leveled up through gained experience to improve their attributes.
Fortnite Battle Royale is a player-versus-player game for up to 100 players, allowing one to play alone, in a duo, or in a squad. Weaponless players airdrop from a “Battle Bus” that crosses the game’s map. When they land, they must scavenge for weapons, items, resources, and even vehicles while trying to stay alive. At the same time, they must attack and eliminate other players. Throughout a round, the safe area of the map shrinks down in size due to an incoming toxic storm; players outside that threshold take damage and can be eliminated if they fail to quickly evacuate. This forces remaining players into tighter spaces and encourages player encounters. The last player, duo, or squad remaining is the winner.
Fortnite Creative is a sandbox game mode, similar to Minecraft. Players are given complete freedom to spawn everything within the game on an island and can create games such as battle arenas, racecourses, platforming challenges, and more.
In every version, players can use their pickaxe to knock down existing structures on the map to collect resources like wood, brick, and metal. In all modes, the player can use these materials to build fortifications, such as walls, floors, and stairs. Such fortification pieces can be edited to add things like windows or doors. The materials used have different durability properties and can be updated to stronger variants using more materials of the same type. Within Save the World this enables players to create defensive fortifications around objective or trap-filled tunnels to lure husks through. In Battle Royale, this provides the means to quickly traverse the map, protect oneself from enemy fire, or delay an advancing foe. Players are encouraged to be very inventive in designing their fortifications in Creative.
While Battle Royale and Creative are free-to-play, Save the World is pay-to-play. The games are monetized through V-Bucks, in-game currency. They can be purchased with real-world funds but also earned through completing missions and other achievements in Save the World. V-Bucks in Save the World can be used to buy loot boxes, in the form of piñatas shaped like llamas, to gain a random selection of items. In Battle Royale, V-Bucks can be used to buy items like character models or the like, or can also be used to purchase the game’s battle pass, a tiered progression of customization rewards for gaining experience and completing certain objectives during a Battle Royale season.
Fortnite is a game that has received a lot of recognition among fans. It has immense popularity even today. Are you playing this game? Do you like the dance moves that have been added to the characters? Which one suits your personality? Answer twenty questions and see for yourself.
