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.
