Keeping up with the Joneseys: Weekly Fortnite Recap

Apart from the esports scene, we had a relative slow news week in Fortnite. There weren't any major content updates to the game, so we're mostly working with leaks and rumors for in-game news.

Here are the three biggest stories of the week, in case you missed them.

EU

The biggest news in Fortnite was the FNCS All-Star Solo showdown. We had some huge performances in each region, with under-known names showing-out.

TaySon, who has a history of dominating EU Solo events, won his region. In second was Veno, who was able to surprise a lot of people with his performance.

In NA, we had a complete unknown free agent in PaMstou take the whole thing with 104 points, followed by casqer and Khanada.

You can take a look at the full recap here, but we'll include the top 5 in EU, NAE, and NAW.

As we said, it was a relatively slow week - with one of the biggest pieces of news being a leaked feature.

"Preferred inventory slot" refers to weapons and items automatically sorted as you pick them up. This is something that players have been requesting for years.

According to Hypex, Epic are finally working on the feature. We could see it implemented by the end of Season 7.

Epic is most likely working on a setting to automatically place items types in the slot that you want, for example when you pick up a shotgun it'll automatically place it in slot #3 or whichever you want. A "Preferred Slot Item Type" feature is being worked on since 17.00!

A variant Loki has joined the Fortnite world in the July Crew pack.

Epic are making these recent Crew packs worthwhile, especially if you're interested in the Battle Pass.

You can get access to the Battle Pass, 1,000 V-Bucks, and the Loki skin set for $11.99 USD.
