The Courtyard King just dropped for Fortnite, and the community went wild-for what should be the right kind of reasons. Made by @TeraCreators, the mode pits squads for dominance in the courtyard with the killing of Walkers. It feels like the players are distracted by everything else that’s happening in the game currently. The replies were fun, ranging from asking for skins to complaining about matchmaking.
But first off, this Courtyard King looks like a real blast. The island code is 2427-7395-6416, and it’s all about squad supremacy. But for real, no one is just talking about the mode. The replies are half hype, half confusion, then outright demands! One player, @joekrecklow, YOLO’ed by saying that he literally played the mode all day and maybe will play some more. One other player, @YunasTHC, says it was “the most boring shi I ever played,” so I guess opinions do differ.
Now, a classic Fortnite situation. @SirKensworthXIV is questioning why General Grievous is comically shorter than other skins-is that a bug? (Like, bro, maybe the Sith Lord just skipped leg day?) @beamdream4903 is suddenly complaining about matchmaking putting him in “the sweatiest lobbies known to man.” A very classic Fortnite experience.
Now for the real drama: skin requests. Oh goodness. @thekonerproject wants Britney Spears in the game, @Cringe_Hub123 has been on Day 2 of asking for wicked skins, and @Themanbeastis9 is spamming @Fortnite to get some mystery skins back (alongside links to some kind of fan concept). Not to mention, @PowerBASEKyle just wants the T-800 in the shop already. Same, dude.
Star Wars fans joined the fray. @Mintcartoonz is feeling the AI Darth Vader, calling it “so cool,” whereas @RubyEy wonders where Kylo Ren and Rey are. And then there’s @CubbyIm, simply asking, “Scout Trooper skin please?” You cannot blame him.
For more bizarre ones, @MetalAsh_Real cycled through some cryptic rant about a locker bundle causing toxicity, and @boyo2156 seems convinced that AI Darth Vader will “harm minors” because… kids might begin to imitate toxic language? Okay then. @TIMMY_LiveALIE then tossed in an Oshi no Ko x Fortnite collab pitch. Anime wins, I guess.
Then there was @PhaseShock24 suffering shop rotations, calling them repetitive. “I’m tired of seeing the same twenty items rotating through the shop,” they stated. Fair. And @realChuckIRL really wants to talk about resetting XP unlocks on a monthly basis for grinders that need to flex. Not bad.
At any rate, Courtyard King looks like something that may be really cool. But, goodness, the Fortnite community will always have… thoughts. Skin begging, matchmaking complaining, to chilling with their new content-the replies just perfectly characterize the chaotic vibe the game has created. Squad up, try the mode, and maybe by some miracle, Epic actually release that Scout Trooper skin.
