Toss A V-Buck To Your Witcher, Geralt Of Rivia Slashes Onto Fortnite Today

The quests are harder than the usual BattlePass bonus character quests.
Mainly because this update removed bounties from team rumble which is the go to questing gamemode due to respawns.

@darkswabber I’ve been playing for a year, but only solo, and it never dawned on me that quests could be easy on teams. I do agree the quests seemed hard than usual, 500 melee damage is 500 more than I’ve ever done unless they include wildlife, which sometimes they do. I miss the sharks. Maybe piñata llamas count?

Anyway I only played 1 match this morning, thought it weird they started Geralt same day as the weeklies, and I always just focus on the dailies until I do 3, but eventually I will try to unlock Geralt. But not today, place was jumping.

Yay finally! He’s awesome!

@rjejr yeah melee is players only this time. No wildlife or llamas.
Atleast the hammer weapon counts.

@darkswabber I didn't realize hammer damage counted. I just ran around hitting bots with my pickaxe until I had that quest done. The hammer makes it much easier. I'm stuck on the bounty quest at the moment.

I think the wrong tweet was added to this story.

so, is Geralt going to run around with a gun like Batman and Spider Man do?

Such crappy treatment of the source IPs

@Mando44646 it’s a toybox with action figures. It’s not meant to be an adaptation.

@darkswabber I get that. And it does that concept badly. Everything looks and plays the in the same generic way. With no care given to the license or character. Its a giant disservice to those IPs and it actively irritates me to see Batman, who opposes guns, running around shooting people with a gun

a true toybox would put some modicum of effort into the process. Such as Disney Infinity and how it paid such respect to the various IPs it included

@Mando44646 I mean yeah? But what do you suggest they do? Just not do the IP? Lots of people enjoy these skins and wile I agree that’s it’s vary odd to see Batman carrying a gun, it’s not even remotely canon and it is its own separate thing, tho your not wrong that some do look more out of place then others.

And to be fair Disney infinity wasn’t a shooter, it was a toys to life, giving them much more to work with, I feel like.

We still waiting the v 4:00 update armors ...

That headline killed me

@Mando44646 I don't play fortnite, but I have always viewed it like this; You don't play as Geralt or Ryu or Naruto or whatever, you play as a dude cosplaying as them. Kinda like Mii Fighter outfits in Smash Bros. I do agree that these crossovers would be far more interesting if the source IP was utilized more.

He looks pretty cool. If i played Fortnite I'd probably get this.

@Mando44646 Fortnite from the beginning has made clear that any character or costume in the game will be cosmetic only. If you're saying each character should have unique and specific abilities, you're asking for them to create a pay to win game. If it's any consolation though, Batman and Spiderman both have a comic book series that actually gives lore over their inclusion in Fortnite, highly recommend it.

@Mando44646 Man what a weird thing to bitch about with little to no understanding of how things like this work lmao. You're not supposed TO BE spiderman who always shoots webs or Goku who can do whatever he does at any time. That would be idiotic.

I for one will always find it endlessly amusing to be running around as say Doom guy only to have Lebron James suddenly pull up on a dirt bike for me to hop on the back of as we drive away into the sunset...

ANYWAY, this is pretty sweet even if odd giving Geralt assault rifles. Alas I usually wait for the wee hours to play as to avoid all the sweaty kids who play 14 hours a day but Geralt will be mine! Just wish we got Yennefer or Ciri instead.

@Mando44646 Sorry, but cash grabs don't care about the IP's they use. Just as long as it gets people to whip that beautiful rectangle called a credit card. That's all that really matters.

Fornite is all about quantity over quality. Like most other companies.

@darkswabber Oh, the hammer weapon counts? Thanks, that’s a big deal, I do use that for close combat, shouldn’t be too much of a problem then. Appreciate the info.👍

@Vexx234 really high quality game for a quantity over quality title if you ask me.
Also geralt is part of the battle pass, which is a buy once get every subsequent one for free kinda deal in the case of fortnite.

@darkswabber lol, my comment was mostly joking. I don't play fortnite.
