Fortnite Season 5 is officially underway, and there`s plenty of new content for players to sink their teeth into. We`ve already extensively covered the changes and additions, but we also wanted to collect all the new tips and tricks you`ll have at your disposal. Unless you`ve dug into the patch notes, there are some notable changes across all platforms that you might not realize; here are some of the biggest.First and foremost, you`ll want to know about the changes made to shotguns--especially considering how significant they`ve been to player strategy in the battle royale. Shotguns will now indicate how many pellets actually hit, with visible markers appearing within the reticle. You won`t be able to cycle between two shotguns like you could before though, as there is now a short period of time after firing a shotgun where another shotgun can`t be fired. Measure your shots carefully, or just find another way to kill someone.For anyone who`s struggled to get a revive in a past 50v50 or Teams of 20 game, worry no longer. Fortnite is implementing XP bonuses for reviving teammates in both limited-time modes. You`ll only get three bonuses a match though, with an extra 30XP the first time and 10XP for the follow-up second and third time. Hopefully, this influences more players to offer a helping hand instead of leaving their teammates to die.The Storm is also getting an update. Circles seven, eight, and nine will still shrink but they`ll also be able to shift in random directions. You`ll need to be ready to hoof it at a moments notice.Between matches, hitting the `Play Again` button now allows players to preview pickaxe visual and sound effects in the Item Shop, Battle Pass, and Locker.You`ll also have access to the same sound visualizer that were created for mobile on all platforms. Flipping it on puts a small visual indicator on your screen that alerts you to nearby gunfire, footsteps, or chests. However, audible sound effects are muted while the visualizer is on. ...
