Improvements to Fortnite
Fortnite is an online video game that falls under a genre banner that's exploded in popularity over the past year, the "battle royale."
All games in the genre operate under the same simple premise: When 100 players are dropped into an ever-shrinking map, either as solo operators or as squads of up to four, who can survive?
Everyone in Fortnite starts with nothing more than a pickaxe (more on that later), but the map is filled with all manner of weapons, armor, and other gear. After parachuting down to the ___location of your choosing, the goal is to scavenge as much of an arsenal as you're able to while fending off enemy players/squads.
While all this is happening, a randomly chosen portion of the map — marked by a very large circle — is deemed safe. After a certain number of minutes have elapsed, anyone caught outside that safe zone takes continuous damage, until they either die or get to safety.
