Things I hate in Fortnite

I love Fortnite. They add a new update a few times every month. Once every two months there is a complete revamp of the games map, the theme, along with different collaborators.

#1 ) The first thing I would like to express my dislike about is the inconsistent item shop updates. Epic games changed the name of their “item shop” to just shop, and I hate it. For years the item shop name has been under that label since the beginning of Fortnite. The fact that it is just “shop” hurts.

#2 ) That pause thing you get when switching between shotguns is another thing in Fortnite that I don't like. If you are wielding two shot guns, you shoot one and switch to the other to shoot- it won’t let you. There is a “swap delay.” There have been so many times where I attempted to switch shotguns to eliminate a player, and just got killed because I forgot there was a cooldown.

#3 ) “Toxic emotes” Fortnite recently made it a setting where if you can’t handle people emoting on you after they eliminate you, you can disable seeing them. There is nothing wrong with this setting, I just personally hate it, and think it deserves to be on the list.

#4 ) I also hate that it has been like two years and Fortnite HASN’T BROUGHT BACK THE SHOCKWAVE HAMMER. Or the maven shotgun. Or keys.

#5 ) My character without his mask. He is ugly.

All the Fortnite items and POIs that are vaulted but I want back desperately

I love Fortnite.

Fortnite is a last man standing, battle royal game that starts with 100 people. Every two months, there is typically an update that comes with a theme. This provides cosmetics, weapons and special gameplay options that correlate with the month’s theme. These themes can be from collaborations with other, bigger corporations/ celebrities, or it could be their own original ideas/ characters.

It is a fun game to pass time alone, or with friends but because of the constantly changing game themes, developers must remove limited edition items (from the themes.) When these items get removed, it is called being “vaulted.” In place of these items are recurring weapons like the SMGs or pump shotguns.

1.) Before I get started, I would like to take this moment to commemorate the loss of our beautiful home. Brutal Bastion, who died in the last season of Chapter Four due to a rift in time.

2.) I would also like to commemorate another beauty from that chapter, the Shockwave Hammer, who was removed because of his overall power.

It created bugs/ glitches in the game. It was just too good to be true.

3.) I also miss this gameplay mechanic where you found keys to buy better guns

4.) Some of the other weapons that I miss would be the drum shotgun. Yes, it is a spam/ spread weapon; yes, I hate it when other people use it on me, and yes, I will call you unskilled when you do.

5.) The maven shotgun for that same reason/ and its heisted version.

6.) Chapter Four augments- exotic guns like the heisted run-n-gun smg/ dragon breath eagle eye sniper.

7.) Finally, the eagle eye sniper (normal).

8.) For fun, I miss using your gun skins as car skins. I have the sweety skulls skin AND IT WAS SO CUTE ON MY CAR but now they changed it :( + I miss golf carts

Remember, my opinion doesn’t matter. If you like something or don’t, it's okay. It’s just a game and it's my opinion. You're allowed to have one too.

Sharks of the Sea

        During middle school, I was obsessed with sharks. Like a lot of kids, I based my entire personality on sharks and cats. I loved going on YouTube and falling down the deep-sea rabbit hole of the different historical sea creatures that once lived on Earth. I loved the idea of working with sharks, in my mind, they were just little water puppies. I watched scuba diving videos and saw how differently sharks acted from the way people perceived them. 

There are more than 500 different species of sharks on Earth. When you hear shark, you may think about the great white, or the tiger shark, but there are sharks who look completely different than the ones you are used to, like the Goblin shark. Goblin sharks are ugly little guys that have a protruding mouth, thin shark teeth and an elongated head. They live in depths as low as 4265 feet, or 1300 meters. They don’t swim all that great and have bad eyesight, this causes them to sick to a diet of other small fish and crab. They can live up to 60 years at best and are no danger to humans. 

 Another weird shark would be the Greenland shark, who are one of the largest shark species. One of the largest one's ever to be recorded would be 21 feet or 6 meters long. They are partially blind and typically have parasites that eat at their eyes. These sharks also usually live in cloudy, cold water with high levels of ammonia, which causes their meat to be toxic towards humans if they eat it. They are extremely slow growing sharks, having their sexual maturity reached, at 150 years old. They have a slow metabolism and are very sluggish, can even live up to an average of 250-500 years! 

The Wobbegong shark is another unusual, shaped dude, this one literally looks just like its name! They have spotted brown, beige or yellowish colors and are flat. Each shark has a very unique looking pattern. Its body is also covered in hundreds of little antennae-like things that are used to sense its surroundings and to help camouflage them from possible predators. They stick to ground level, on top of the sand is typically shallow waters. If not there, they’d be hiding in coral reefs or rocky areas with hiding spots. They can attack humans if they feel threatened, but they don’t often. They are very flexible sharks so if they wanted to bite you, they totally could.
