Fortnite is known far and wide as a battleground filled with both intense competition and playful tomfoolery. But what does a ‘chilled out’ game look like for its denizens? This query was raised by Reddit user laplandsix, sparking much debate and a smorgasbord of gamer perspectives.
Summary
- Most users enjoy casual play, mentioning knocking down buildings or ‘fuckery’ until the shooting kicks in.
- Some users are frustrated by ‘sweats’ ruining the casual feel.
- Others prefer the warm rush of competition like DrewPZ1978 who remarks that ‘They should never be chill…its war!! LETS GO!’.
Definition of ‘Chill’
In the battlefield of Fortnite, the word ‘chill’ sports a unique meaning. “What’s a sweat? You want people to just stand there while you shoot them?” questions Cooter2022, highlighting the dichotomy between relaxed play and the inherent competitive nature of the game.
Nostalgia and Beyond
Others yearn for the old days when the game felt less intense. General-Wolverine386 recalls, ‘My friends and I used to constantly break down entire buildings. But it doesn’t seem like you can anymore.’
Bot Action
A popular opinion is that bots could help create a chilled vibe. Possible_ceiling_fan suggests, ‘I honestly think a bot filled lobby option should be available… just set it so that its 98 bots plus us, then don’t allow any XP or rank gains from that match.’
Mutual Enjoyment
At the end of the day, Fortnite serves as a hub for fun interactions and shared experiences- competitive or chill. BSGamer puts it beautifully: ‘I’m just playing to have some fun with friends and complete quests. Losing is no big deal, just load up another match and go again.’ So whether you’re looking for a chilled out game or a blood-thirsty competition, Fortnite might just be your cup of tea.
