Yes, but all they buy is skins or battle passes, items that can't be traded with other players. You can give other players items you collect during a game, but these items can't be bought and disappear at the end of that game.

Yeah that sounds right, so I wonder what his son lost or thought he lost?
I hate to say it but maybe he just got convinced to drop a good weapon he found in a particular game, and another guy picked it up.
There are whole channels devoted to trolling kids on Fortnite, convincing them to swap weapon and making them fall from tall flights of stairs.
The kids are called Squeakers from the noise they make I think.

Yer can't see any trading unless he was doing bank transfers. But still a little life lesson for him to be careful what advice he trusts going forward.

Lesson learned - don’t do squad fill matches.

Just to update - no, he did not lose any real money but did give away all of his good stuff like a noob. It was an over reaction by him and dad (me) failing to understand how the game worked.

lol Cool dad calling his son noob. At least he has learnt not to trust strangers even in games.
Call him a squeaker that would really annoy him.

Downloaded this tonight and gave it a bash. Can see the the appeal and I love the exploring and finding stuff. Killing people is an issue though! Great free game though.

I like the changes to the format as well. From the patch notes they’ll be a separate bus from each team and a battle line down the map. The brave will go early over to the enemy zone, but it should culminate in much larger fights than the old format.

Bolt action sniper is key in 50v50.

I’m really enjoying this at the moment but could use a few more people to play with.

What platform are you guys playing on? I’m on PS4 and PC and generally up for a laugh.

I'm on Xbox, otherwise I'd hit you up. Once 50vs50 comes out I will be playing this for hours.

50 vs 50 V2 is brilliant, been on it a lot this weekend. Fast paced, lots of decent loot, resources are plenty, huge buildings being put it and absolute chaos in the final circle.

The only problem with is one team often dominates early doors and then you get a 30v15 or thereabouts situation which is terrible. The balanced games are incredible though.

14 kills is my best in this mode.

Yeah I agree, most games aren't very balanced. It's brilliant when you have an 5+ man advantage and pull it back to get the win though.

On the 50 v 50 games, I like to fly deep into the enemy side and keep a low profile until the storm closes in. Then you can sneak behind the enemies and take them out with a silenced pistol or sniper.

Got my first solo win today biggrin, really enjoying Season 4 so far.

On the PC the integration with Nvidia shadow play is ace for saving highlights, wins etc, no wonder YouTube is covered in Fortnite videos.

Yes the integration for small clips with your Youtube account is really simple as well.

A lot of small clips to deal with on the HDD though!
