What does B.R.U.T.E. stand for in Fortnite?

magpie QA Engineer last edited by

This question is pretty self-explanatory.
The way B.R.U.T.E. is spelled out implies it's an acronym, but so far the only answers I've found as to what it means have been joke answers; Beastly Robot Unfair Terror Error, for example.

Could anybody tell me what B.R.U.T.E. actually stands for?

It might not stand for anything at all, and just be named that way to look more robotic.

The https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/season-x-blog , and the accompanying https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/patch-notes/v10-00-patch-notes for the B.R.U.T.E's introduction don't expand the acronym, and those are the most likely places for such information to appear.

Small ammo cap - 999 Medium ammo cap - 999 Heavy ammo cap - 999 Shells cap - 999 Rockets - 12 Hope this helps! It may be hard to get max shells and heavy ammo types, but it has been done in modes like close encounters and sniper shootout.

The biggest thing is to check that your weapons are a reasonable level compared to enemies. Lower level weapons might have been fine in normal, but as you said TVHM is more challenging. Make sure you are using the different elemental weapons properly. In normal mode for example fire deals 150% damage to flesh (red health) but only 75% damage to shields (blue) or armor (yellow). In TVHM these are increased further to 175% for flesh and 40% for shields and armor. As for other damage types, shock weapons deal bonus damage to shield, and corrosive will deal bonus damage to armor. On top of that, using slag on a target makes them take double damage from all non-slag damage types. An easy way to farm some weapons and EXP would be to repeat the Warrior fight on normal mode. Since you've completed the DLC's you can also do tier 3 fights at the campaign of carnage.

Your Xbox live account should be what connects your xbox profile on the games associated with epic games that you would have on the xbox. There really is no downside to it. Your purchases should be accessible on both accounts.

Fortnite relies on players reporting you for AFKing for bans. In addition, the only real mentions I can find of people being permabanned for going AFK has 3 major similarities: They're repeat and serial offenders who get multiple reports for going AFK every match; They weren't just AFKing for several minutes, but rather actively using macros and bots to stay online beyond the normal 2-3 minutes it takes for the inactivity to kick them out of the game; They were leeching rewards and resources in Campaign mode games and not actively participating in the game. I do not have official confirmation, but I'm fairly sure that if you aren't actively trying to avoid the AFK kick timer, going to the toilet for a minute or so in the middle of a match every once in a while won't be enough to be flagged as a serial offender. Especially in a BR match where players are less likely to flag you for AFK and more likely to just kill you. However, if I may give you some advice, just go to the toilet BEFORE you start the match. Fortnite Battle Royale matches at most last 20 minutes. Unless you have a medical condition that has frequent urination or defecation as a symptom, it's unlikely that you have to wait so long between queueing up and the end of the game that you end up needing to go to the toilet during the match. And if there is anything else you need to do while playing the game: if it's urgent, just leave the match (if you're in a team, tell your teammates that something IRL has come up and you need to leave). If it's not urgent, wait for the end of the match and don't queue again until you are done with the thing you need to do.

How to upgrade TIY into T&T Emporium in Animal Crossing New Leaf?

From the AC:NL wiki: To upgrade to T&T Emporium, the player must spend at least 100,000 Bells at T.I.Y., complete four Gracie Fashion Checks and have had the store open for at least 30 days. Gracie doesn't appear at your town Plaza until you have spent 70,000 bells at T.I.Y. So you're looking at a pretty involved process to get it. You need to spend at least 170,000 bells, total, and that's going to take some time to accumulate. Which makes sense, as its the last upgrade for the shop.

Normally around the coast is fairly safe, but you need to find a spot that's quiet but still has a decent amount of equipment for you to get armed up quickly. And ideally where you can easily find a vehicle too, in case the storm circle ends up far away so you've got transport to save yourself. Some suggestions the house on the coast south of Chonkers Speedway: there's up to five chests there and six slurp barrels for shields (dig through the floor in the garage). There are two road cars there and you can head north to Chonkers to grab a car with off-road tyres if you need it either the house on the hill above Camp Cuddle - up to four chests inside (first one at the very top in the roof) and two just outside, and if someone else lands there you can flee down the hill or the garage just west of Camp Cuddle - less equipment but still a decent amount of potential shields and cars to get away in the dock on the coast north of Logjam; again 4+ chests or any of the islands on the far east of the map, which are normally fairly quiet. The one north of the bay though, north east of the Ruins, probably has most stuff. But you're going to have to learn to fight. Waiting until everyone else has wiped each other out won't work in general, because when you kill someone you get all of their ammo, building materials and the pick of their equipment, so if you end up fighting someone who's been killing other people at the end you'll be heavily outgunned. Yes, they'll be weaker too if you catch them just after a fight but they can heal up pretty quickly so it's only a small window of opportunity. as the storm circles get smaller you often end up stumbling on others as you get into the circle, so you'll end up in combat whether you like it or not just to keep safe. Try landing at Logjam for a few games. It's moderately popular (often 4-5 others will land there too): as long as you can find a chest and grab a weapon quickly you'll have a fighting chance, and there are plenty of chests around once you've learned where. Work out which weapons work well for you at what ranges, and you'll die a few times, but you'll get the hang of it.

Not unless you can see your own screen. I would suggest downloading Teamviewer on your phone and pc and then check in on your phone to see if your pc has finally finished the update. See Teamviewer and download the free one for your pc and phone than link them with the code. and you can control your pc with your phone

First things first, there are, yes you correctly summarized, three things that matter and that are separate. Your Microsoft account which you used with your mail (dad@example.com) and which bought the Live subscription. This account can administer the family and be used to access all the neat features of a Microsoft account. These features include OneDrive, Office 365 (if bought), Outlook Calendars, and many more. One of the benefits is also... Your Gamertag. This is an alias you use across all Microsoft platforms, in the Xbox Live "universe" to track your game progress (saves are stored in the cloud on the Xbox One), your gamerscore, friends, purchase history, etc. Your Fortnite name which is tied to Fortnite and has nothing to do with your Xbox. What you want to do is, on your Xbox One, log in your son's profiles. Here is how. this will enable your sons to go online and, since they are part of your family, have access to your Live subscription. As for the Fortnite account, have you linked your Fortnite account to your gamertag? If so, you can unlock them and link your Fortnite account to a new gamertag. Progress on Fortnite (in game) is tied to your Fortnite account, not your gamertag. You gamertag only holds the related achievements.

Found the solution. Apparently the Wii U is extremely sensitive to any "invisible" proxy services on your router or gateway server. Someone had actually turned on an invisible proxy server on the gateway / router for this network. It turns out that all of the http[s] (port 80 + 443) traffic was passing through a cached proxy server to improve performance, which hasn't caused trouble with any other network devices or traffic, but it so happens that the Wii U is apparently highly susceptible to this kind of service. After this service was disabled Wii U Internet connection test succeeded and the unit is now functional.

From my experience, simply filling the shelf until it's full of books will remedy the issue. Each time you add/remove books the physics are refreshed, so if you fill it up sometime later, they will all become standing. Even missing one book below the maximum for the shelf will allow the books to fall.

How inviting on mobile (iOS) is done: Launch Fortnite on your mobile device. Sign In with your registered account. At the Lobby Screen, tap the Friend Invite Button. Click the share button to send the invite link to your friends. Now currently the only way to play with friends is using friend codes. Which I assume you have? You need to give this code to a player upon using it he will be added to your friends list. There are also some requirements for friends to join you. an internet connection iOS 11 on iPhone 6S/SE, iPad Mini 4 , iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad 2017 or later devices. It seems you match these requirements. So I would suggest looking to see if you have any codes. As it currently states you have 0 friends (online). Source

Its a part of the new game mode you mentioned, Soaring 50's. I have yet to play it myself, but IGN has posted an article about it. The first paragraph has the information you're looking for. First up is Soaring 50's, which adds a new dimension to Fortnite's 50 vs. 50 mode by letting players glide all over the map. Instead of only being able to use gliders at the start of matches and by using special items, but Soaring 50's grants the ability to deploy gliders whenever a player jumps or falls from a significant height.
