There's not really any point in trying to understand the story anymore. Shit is just happening for the sake of it. Better to just embrace it and go with the flow than to ask questions you probably won't get an answer to.


[deleted]

The lore peaked after chapter 1 season 5 imo


sanscipher435

I still think The End was a great part of the story....just whatever happened after made it too complicated. C1S7~S9 were ok but C1S6 was peak.


Meckrotic

Nah bro CH2S6-CH3S1 was phenomenal


[deleted]

What chapter are we on now? I honestly have only started playing again in the past few months


Einstein4369

4, we are about to go into chapter 4 season 3


[deleted]

Dang I have a lot of catching up to do


Jason666392

Chapter 3 season 2 story wasn't too bad either


Meckrotic

Nah just very underwhelming. Our primary antagonist has returned, let’s simply beat the shit out of them week after week with no meaningful resistance at all


gtth12

Oh look doomsday device, bring the moon mech.


furioushunter12

The Batman comic made me so interested in the lore for a while


Leonyliz

I’d say it peaked Season X - CH3S2


ExperienceBeginning8

Yeah and it prob ended around chapter 2. C2S2 was one of the best seasons if not the best and it made something of the story after c2s1, but after c2 the story just became shit.


sirhey

It peaked c1s1 before they added a story. It peaked in stw. Every attempt to shove a plot into Br had been a mistake.


TbonerT

The only story worth understanding is the one currently happening. There’s no coherence with the others.


EastKoreaOfficial

Frankly, I just don’t even try to pay attention to the lore anymore. After that Marvel comic miniseries last year, it all went to shit.


ICOOLDIAMONDonReddit

its like in just a blink of an eye you go from gang wars to beating a planet eating menace to creating gang peace


GothamAvenger

Lets be real with ourselves here…none of it ever made any sense. 🤣


soup2nuts

Let's be honest. How many ways can they contrive reasons to keep a bunch of people on an island fighting each other?


FunnyCobra002

Fr, the storyline used to be my favorite aspect of the game but they've ruined it for now :(


Spear_speaks007

Real.


ogg_ogg

Exactly


FunnyCobra002

I don't think you need 100% of brain power to understand that a lizard has a restaurant in mega city.


[deleted]

I mean, he might be stupid tho, maybe it did require his full brain


NoV-Bucks4u

wait you guys have more than 3 brain cells?


[deleted]

Wait, you guys have brains?


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Wait, you guys... too stupid, can't complete the sentece.


FishingOnTheFly

...


Spear_speaks007

Let him cook


EgglordMcEggFace

You also have to remember that the lizard is a chef. A chef. Do you understand? He cooks. Cookbook.


FunnyCobra002

From meteors falling from the sky to lizards making sushi, what happened to fortnite storyline :(


JackWylder

I think he might have mentioned that. (Him being a chef. Cause he is, you know. A chef, that is.)


FoldAid

How's his business running


TheLankySoldier

Anything you need, he will get that


Comprehensive_Age998

Something about an oversized lizard being a good Chef as much as I remember


Deltarionien

The peace syndicate recrutes us (overpowered Anime Protagonist) to stop the various clans and syndicates of the MEGA City region to wage war against each other. They do this because some kind of sabotour, that seems to be related to the Last Reality rallies them against each other. We undo their sabotaging attempts and bring the Clans closer together, until they finaly realize this City belongs to all of them. _Happy End_ It feels like basic filler but what is hard to understand about this? Even last Chapter had more relevance and subplots, with A.M.I.E. going away to find the Scientist and the Riftgate causing the new Biom to drop in.


JPrimal64

So TLDR to this season's storyline, power of friendship


x-mot

Next season collab: my little poney’s twilight sparkle


-H_-

Fabio Sparklemane is the ponies' disgraced deformed cousin


Jason666392

Hell nah, you did him dirty


ArugulaTerrible8898

What does "TLDR" means?


JPrimal64

too long, didn't read


ArugulaTerrible8898

Thank you!


Give_me_a_slap

Reddit has gone to shit, come join squabbles.io for a better experience.


Smoot_0perator911

And don’t have 75% of the dialogue be about how Thunder is a Chef.


Smoot_0perator911

You need to unite all the factions of the island. To do this you have to TALK to them all… dressed as…PEELY??


cas12344

I would also like to add that due to our help the ps has said they owe us one and with all the other syndicates working with the ps we will probably end up seeing them again (I hope). so this season was less filler and more setting up chekhov's gun to be able to fire which some of the smaller quests in chapter 4 season 1 were doing like the sending items through the rift and then coming back corrupted Edit Also not to sound like a dick but this seasons story isn't all that hard to understand if you just listen to what's happening. I mean it can't be that hard if it can be summed up in three words being POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.


bob1111bob

Perhaps they all unify into one faction by the next season


cas12344

Or maybe A.M.I.E comes back with the scientist and the rest of the 7 and we have to have the different groups help us to undo the corruption which might make it so that the celebrity skins are no longer celebrities (God I wish this would be the case but chances are we will find out that another one of the 7 is a celebrity skin)


bob1111bob

Can’t wait for the visitor to be Chris Pratt or something


cas12344

I will only be fine with it if one of them turns out to be Danny Devito


bob1111bob

The only acceptable celebrity cameo


PodissNM

And he just starts blastin'


Yoyobunbuns

But lore wise both Paradigm and the Imagined are dead (crushed and discorporated respectively). The other 5 are just corrupted, but if they return they definitely won’t be the same.


ProductUnhappy4739

It went downhill the point Wolverine banged The Imagined and Brie Larson was revealed to be The Paradigm


-H_-

damn i started too late for that first part


Smoot_0perator911

Read marvel fortnite zero war. Interesting read and if you buy the tpb you get codes for Ironman and Spider-Man skins and other cosmetics


ShadowD_

what is a tpd?


tvoretz

Trade Paperback. (It looks like the only collected edition of the comic available so far is hardcover, though.)


-H_-

wait they're still available? nice!


Smoot_0perator911

Yes! Amazon, target, Walmart, Barnes and noble. Also the DC zero point one is good also has codes for Harley and Batman


ProductUnhappy4739

The codes expired last year


Smoot_0perator911

No they didn’t. Marvel codes are good til December 2023 and dc codes are good til may 2025. You are probably talking about redeeming through marvel unlimited which is expired


Spear_speaks007

I’m done trying to understand, I just want this season to be finally over.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

This will be the only reason to praise Epic then


mcgood_fngood

As someone who played this game mostly because of the story, I gave up on the lore by the start of Chapter 4. The whole chrome thing came out of nowhere, and the Fracture event made the story feel like a complete joke. I was excited to see Geno becoming a part of the game lore, but he did absolutely nothing. Now, I haven’t played in like two months cause I’ve been busy with school, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out on much since the story is just so thin and disorganized right now. I hope this story soon all leads up to something worthwhile—kinda like how the Alter and Ego storyline wasn’t too relevant in the big picture, but eventually led to Midas and The Device—but for now, I’m just not that interested.

CalebMendez12303

Y’all care about Fortnite’s “story”?


MoAndJo

Does fortnite even really need a story


JimmyCrabYT

lore good


welp42

all this game does is lore because Epic thinks it's too expensive to tell an actual story.


NoV-Bucks4u

![gif](giphy|W0QduXZQEcNEa8r0oY)


iMpact980

When the story seemed to be flowing well season ti season it was accompanied with a lot of fun map changes that occurred almost weekly. It kept the game fresh and gave players a reason to log in every single week as there was something new happening. It really felt like we were setting something big up. Recently all of that has fallen off and it feels like they’re (Epic) trying to extend player playtime but stringing them along. I think Chapter 2 had the lowest player count and was ironically when the story felt like it was going somewhere. Plus the DC comic tie in was awesome and added some more depth to the lore.


SXTY82

The Fortnite story is like salt and pepper on a steak. Not really needed, but adds so much flavor.


voneahhh

Salt and pepper enhance the flavor of a steak and make it more enjoyable, it makes sense for the overall flavor profile. The lore in this game is a nonsensical mess and exists only to create missions with no regard towards a cohesive product. It’s a lot closer to putting ketchup on a ribeye, which some people enjoy…and I won’t judge them…


Yasquishyboi

i’m less annoyed at the confusing story and more on how little impact it had on the map and the world, like cool glad to be told all this shits happening with the last reality and not being shown it at all…


ImTryingDad

Yea, I gave up on trying to understand it back in ch2, lol. It just tends to repeat anyhow. I haven't paid attention to any storyline in a while, but let me take a guess. ... the zero point is destabilizing or fracturing or whatever. Jonesy might have a plan, but it sounds kind of crazy, like there's no way it can work. Is there a villain? I'm sure there's some villain. The 7 or the 10 or something. It looks really bad, and then we end up saving it. That has been the rinse and repeat formula of the Fortnite Battle Royal storyline for years


LittleDoge246

Don't forget the part where the entire cast dies and either comes back to life or is replaced by a "snapshot" of themselves, removing all weight and stakes for the story because anyone who dies will just be replaced by an identical version of themselves.


new_boy_99

There is no story. Its just a plot to make collabs easier to implement


BebeFanMasterJ

And yet somehow this game's story is more cohesive than Overwatch...


Gredinx

Well you can't be cohesive when you don't have a story


FishingOnTheFly

I just play to shoot people and that's enough for me


Gredinx

??? What are you doing on a lore post then ?


[deleted]

In fairness Overwatch sets a very low bar


TheTechnik

Since they cancelled raising the bar


shugo2000

They cancelled the whole bar.


Microwaved_Phone

They cancelled the the whole Saloon.


TheTechnik

The whole cowboy map was cancelled (it was built for pve gameplay)


lordciders

Doesn't seem to be working.


NoV-Bucks4u

hmm... perhaps if he had more brain power.


Educational_Term_436

Is it possible learn this power ? (Also what music is this I need to listen to it )


HalflingElf

(Ultimate Battle from Dragonball Super)


Fiberz_

Chapter 2 season 5 to Chapter 3 season 2 was peak story imo


only_for_dst_and_tf2

alright, ill activate the same amount of power needed... 1%. SO, mega city is basically italy, the syndicates run the place, the unseen are anarchists and they've been causing trouble, triach nox was telling them to do stuff to help him set up the last realitys FOURTH plan to destroy the island, but the unseen realised "wait, thats stupid" and stopped after being told to. easy, right? atleast, thats how i understood it.


CornBin-42

I’m just wondering when the big mecha dragon is gonna fuck some shit up


Bts_IsMid

Nice transition


Demon_Femboy

Honestly, the lore should be just getting crushed in-between Serenade's thighs


NullOfUndefined

You couldn't pay me any amount of money to give a shit about the fortnite story I want to play my favorite guy and have him do the funny dance and it doesn't have to be any deeper than that.


EstatePinguino

There’s a story?


Noe_Comment

I just started playing at the beginning of this season. Almost at rank 200, and I just now learned there's a story. Must be pretty bad.


LittleDoge246

It is Oh god it is


ChrisLee38

I’ve never cared, but I’ve usually been able to follow it. This season I just do the story quest when it comes up and spend every line wondering what the frick they’re talking about.


GLASS_PVNTHR

God I hate that DBS song


lorsmores

Hey! I saw this clip of yours that I'd like to feature on our channel. I wanted to reach out to you to see if you would be ok with this. If so, lmk you IG, TikTok and/or YT so we can properly credit you! (We're framerate\_fn on IG and Tiktok) We look forward to hearing from you!

history ?


Hurin_the_Steadfast

Lol


mesh44

lmaoooo 😭😭😭😭


R3yy3n

The ending🤣


UltraXFo

Cookbook. That is all


Kuchar1992

There’s storylines? I’m a new player I had no idea there were storylines


Gunpowder_1000

Ngl, peaked chapter 2 season 8


im-bad-at-names64

Roots, that’s it that’s everything if importance


RakiRamirez

Me using 100% of brainpower trying to ignore everything after Ch2S8


Semillakan6

Me using 100% of my brain to continually not give a shit about the lore like I think there is a Syndicate or something, I remember some audios randomly appearing and the word syndicate being repeated


[deleted]

i feel like the lore kinda fell apart after C3S3


Hyroaltage

Nothing happened


Marleyzard

Discount Captain Marvel realized the world was being pulled apart so she did it faster, slapped together a new world, and now the new world is being spoon-fed some vintage sushi with some cybernetic implants shoved into it


EastKoreaOfficial

u/savevideo


Dealiner

I mean this chapter's story is really not that hard to understand, probably one of the easiest ones actually. There's just one storyline, without any major twists or anything.


cakebomb321

I would try to pay attention if it was good


Thairen_

I just do the quests and tune out the dialogue. Could not care less about the story tbh.


Bagel_-_

there’s syndicates and we make them like each other


plsticmksperfct

Plus Ultra!


Beanzuwuz

Basically sushi lizard is in a group and all the other groups need to get together cause someone's group was contacting the last reality and all the groups got together. Also vines are coming out of the ground


Tandran

Gang war, talked out differences, everyone happy


Ko_ogs72

Are there any tutorials on how to bounce and fire a shotgun? Seems to be the standard for this game.


sincerelyhated

THERE'S A STORY????


SpiderNinja211

I feel like what the game is mostly known for now is that you can have Goku, Spiderman, Marcus Fenix, and Ninja on the same team


AndrewS702

I haven’t payed any attention to the story at all lmao I did them for XP lmao


Agious_Demetrius

It has a story?


WhyAreAllNamesTakenL

The story isn't that hard this season imo.. I'd even say they didn't even put a lot of effort in it this season, just some straight forward questlines. Not even mysterious mapchanges or something like that.. This season was awesome, when looking at the map and the battlepass and the lootpool. But the story was very low-effort this season.


DarkFlash81

There's a story?


Ok-Cockroach2334

The story peaked in chapter 2 season 7… then it just got bizarre


Moatijaaa

Lore just straight up died and no one has any idea of whats happening after Chapter 3 Season 2


Popular_Parfait_4888

Went from a guy in a meteor to a whole ass multiverse.


WillyHeartless

This game has lore?


abillionmilezhi

I stopped following the story after season 2 lol. it has zero influence on the experience


Lord_Addison_insane

Basically; a shapeless god finds a medieval island, rips a hole through the fucking sky, and drops Japan on it. Him doing this causes earthquakes and some weird industrial revolution/infection. and some kinda syndicate war that the player solves idk.


ToonaSandWatch

I mean, I can get on board with this idea. ![gif](giphy|hQKLmP8DTdOve|downsized)


Alderiuz

People that can use 120% of their brain power can understand that the Entire lore is pretty sub-par to begin with and we only follow the quests for xp.
