In a hilarious twist of fate, popular Twitch streamer Dr DisRespect gave what seems to be his final opinion on which battle royale out of PUBG and Fortnite reigns supreme.
Dr DisRespect has been highly critical of Fortnite and PUBG in the past, but fans showed a range of multitude of reactions ranging from astonishment to ovation from the Doc’s final word on the matter of which is best.
The Doc got rid of PUBG from his computer while praising Fortnite’s superiority over the “unathletic, boring” battle royale, and saying he’ll never return to the shooter he’s chastised before.
The Doc was looking to loot a house on Sanhok when he was killed by a creeping player around a corner, which triggered the streamer’s frustrations to “never play [PUBG] again.”
“I’m just not interested in playing [PUBG], it’s just so boring,” Dr DisRespect said. “It’s so pathetic. So unathletic.
The Doc was left stunned by PUBG’s terribly designed mechanics, while declaring his preference to Fortnite.
The announcement came to many viewers’ applause, as the Doc had been a notable absence to Epic Game’s legion of fans.
The gesture seemed to be more of a slight toward PUBG, although the Doc had a ton of great things to say about Fortnite’s impeccable development.
“Believe it or not, and I thought I’d never say this, playing Fortnite and then going back to [PUBG]… Fortnite just blows [PUBG] away in terms of the response time, athleticism, the movement,” the Doc said.
The words will come as a surprise to many as Dr DisRespect has repeatedly thrown shots at Fortnite and its fans, but seems the Doc turned a new leaf in 2019.
Galactus is finally here, heralding the explosive end of Fortnite’s current season and the beginning of Season 5. Here’s everything we know about the Season 4 finale, and the v15.00 update, including start time and early patch notes.
Fortnite Chapter 2’s fourth season is on the verge of ending with another huge, potentially map-destroying event as Marvel supervillain Galactus finally arrives.
Galactus, known to his enemies as the “Devourer of Worlds,” is rumored to be the key to another huge ‘black hole’ style event in Fortnite. It certainly makes sense too; when he lands in the Marvel comics, he feasts on whole planets for fun.
Here’s everything we know about Season 5 and the v15.00 update so far.
When does the Galactus event begin?
The countdown to the Season 4 finale, and the beginning of Fortnite Season 5, has officially begun. The battle royale now displays a ticking counter on the lobby holo-table.
The lobby countdown gives us a perfect idea of when to expect the Nexus War event to begin too; the timer is ticking down to 4pm EST / 1pm PST / 9pm GMT on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and 8am AEDT on Wednesday, Dec. 2 for Australia.
The event was originally meant to be held on November 30, but was delayed by two days just ahead of the Season 4 finale so Epic could “get everything perfect.”
Epic GamesGalactus is here, right at the end of Fortnite Season 4.
Galactus event: what to expect
It’s now been all-but-confirmed that Fortnite players will join the fight against Galactus. They won’t be doing it on foot, however — instead, they’ll be attacking in the Battle Bus!
Epic Games has been dropping hints about the high-flying escapades on Twitter over the past few days, including an image of the iconic bus loaded with Gamma Cells. “Think we’ve got enough?” the Fortnite account asked on Nov. 24.
Five days later, on Nov. 29, the Fortnite devs confirmed early leaks; players will indeed take control of the Battle Bus. They wrote, “You do know how to drive the Battle Bus, right?” and “Join the Fight” alongside three images of the bus.
The fight against Galactus will see many of the Season 4 heroes and villains, including Thor, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Venom, and plenty more on the frontlines against the looming threat.
Whatever is set to happen, it’s going to be big. The Chapter 1 finale, the infamous “Black Hole” event, took a 480mb update to load in. The Nexus War battle, which should begin on December 2, is a whopping 4GB in size. There’s a lot on the way!
When the event begins, players will be able to load into a “THE DEVOURER OF WORLDS” playlist. Once loaded in, Fortnite fans will be tasked with “defending the Island to save all of Reality” against the newly-arrived Galactus.
Event Playlist just got added to the API!
Name: "THE DEVOURER OF WORLDS" Desc.: "Defend the Island to save all Reality!"
The battle with Galactus, and flying the Battle Buses, have been confirmed.
What is not so certain, however, is what happens at the end. Many Fortnite dataminers have refused to reveal details, but some event leaks have still slipped through the cracks.
According to a leak on Reddit, which was posted on Twitter by @Asriel_Dev, the event’s conclusion will see words, reading “To Be Continued… in Season Five!”, spread across the screen. A new countdown timer will also appear at the bottom.
In a Black Hole-esque waiting game, Fortnite players may be locked out of the game. The counter reads “13:13:26:32” in the leak — suggesting a 14 day wait — but this seems like it could be a placeholder rather than an exact time.
>>> kind of a leak but doesn't spoil anything really <<<
some redditor posted this, and yes it is real
no i don't have any insider info, don't ask me (i don't even have the aes key) pic.twitter.com/kIIPzdltLo
After the Galactus event, Season 5 begins! That means update v15.00 will be deployed onto Fortnite servers, and after some downtime, players will be invited back in-game.
When the game returns, there’s every chance the whole Fortnite world has changed with it — according to Season 5 leaks, the next theme will be “Star Wars.” There’s also been a number of leaks suggesting big map changes too.
Star Wars takes over Fortnite
Following the success of Season 4’s Nexus War, which introduced skins and weapons based on some of Marvel’s most beloved superheroes and villains including Storm and Venom, Fortnite seems to be once again teaming up with another Disney-owned franchise, Star Wars.
Recent posts from a number of leakers including ShiinaBR and others have suggested a crossover with The Mandalorian is imminent, with bounty hunter Din Djarin and the adorable viral sensation Baby Yoda both being a part of the major Season 5 update.
There’s even been a leaked advertisement for the Battle Pass, which shows off the new Mandalorian skin accompanied by a little Baby Yoda, which should be another Back Bling cosmetic like Rocket Racoon, from Guardians of the Galaxy.
With Galactus “destroying reality,” or at least doing some serious damage, it’s likely the Chapter 2 map will be warped or deleted entirely.
According to theories heading into Season 5, the Fortnite map won’t exactly be new, but it won’t simply be a return to ‘Athena’. Instead, players will be able to contest the popular battle royale on a blended map that combines both versions.
