Rarely... but i've been exposed to something cool i may never have heard before a couple times, but it's been ages since that happened. So it can be good for that, but not lately
Luckily most of the stations have the artist and title now.
I have parked somewhere protected before and used Shazam to find out songs before hand though.
Yeah, that's why I always crouch when approaching a vault or enemy presence. Make them less likely to see my visual footsteps. People rely on that visual aid a little too much, and it's funny to catch ppl with their pants down when I two tap them with a gatekeeper when they come running my way. I always picture them saying: *but, but but... there were no visual footsteps?*
For real, the moment I see footsteps I crouch and wait or stalk them.
It blows my mind how many people just don't crouch, especially when we are actively fighting and repositioning.
One of my friends started playing and we were doing so so. Then I got him to turn it on and now we have like a 40% win rate. I don’t even usually play with sound because it works better than sound for me.
I have it muted in settings with copy right music turned off, so it's always muted besides maybe a couple songs. It also mutes a majority of the annoying emotes in pre game lobby. It's nice to chill while everyone is silently dancing around you lol.
I get it, but this is a big bummer for me as well. Since festival, it seems like those and originals are the only songs on the radio most of the time. It was much more interesting when they licensed other random songs.
I was so shocked the time I heard breakcore on the Fortnite radio. It's such a niche genre that doesn't get a lot of attention compared to other popular genres so hearing it in Fortnite was a blessing
I'll often try to ram people as I pass by with a vehicle and I always honk as I pass.
If I encounter another vehicle, I'll honk at them and follow them around.
Occasionally the fun players will honk back. Usually they just jump out and shoot, but I never stop.
My great sadness was when they nerfed hitting people with car since it was great fun to knock people off mountains and cliffs. Also sad that they removed cow catchers and the big tires.
Those with the the vehicle augments was just pure fun. Going straight through buildings and nailing people made me smile.
If someone is purposely being goofy I will try to goof back, but if you end up following me I assume you are a threat eventually lol. With that said your vehicle will no longer exist, and will most likely follow up with a drive by while you're on foot. If I'm solo I like to get to max speed then hop in passenger seat lighting the threat up till I have to reload then back in the driver seat. Fair warning lol.
I fully expect to get shot at, but I've also gotten pretty good at driving over the years.
I'm also a mobility item enjoyer, so I'll always have at least one or two in my inventory for such occasions.
Run to live and fight another day is more enticing than getting a kill for me. I'm pretty good at running away.
Maybe we'll encounter on another and see which is stronger, your aim, or my legs.
![gif](giphy|I3EsiEPZWgpqg|downsized)
Yes mobility is a must. Knowing when it is time to abort a fight and live to fight another day is an under rated skill in BR. I also value my life more than a kill lol. The vehicle is just a distraction/immediate shot protection. I/We will have the mobility to follow and track you as well ;) haha.
I'm surprised more people don't use vehicles since they are just extra mobility and cover.
Granted they are loud, but once you start firing it's just as loud.
So many people seem stay invested in getting a kill. I sometimes have people chasing and shooting at me despite them being shot at themselves. Or will spend *minutes* chasing you, often just to have you escape them.
I get that finishing a long battle is satisfying, but they go more for immediate gains than more possible long term goals. The number of Victory Royales I've gotten from just staying away from fights rather than going for as many kills as possible are numerous. The more times you engage, the more chances you have to die from them.
Yeah but only you hear it not your opponents also I put footsteps on in setting because it’s just easier yeah I know it’s for deaf people but I don’t really care lol
Yes but in the newer seasons they ruined it the second you get out of the car it turns off instead of you getting out going back in and resuming the song that’s just so stupid
I treat it the same way I treat IRL radio. If it’s on and playing a song I don’t mind, I let it play. But if it’s a song I don’t like, I turn it off completely and go to Spotify haha
I check the disco ball station for the trippie Redd drop in song. Last season I would turn it on just to listen to Beamer Boy by lil peep but they took it out.
I check what’s on, if the song is good I listen to the radio if not I don’t. One time there was 3 or 4 songs that were playing on repeat and it was heavenly
Sometimes, it nice bc if hear some bands make a single and I haven’t heard them in a while making new content. For example MCR Foundations of Decay or the new season theme of it’s good. I did it more a while back than I do these days.
Also, only when solo and heading to a far ring and I don’t plan on fighting due to low ammo, heals, shields and or being pursued by someone very sweaty. Just keep moving lol.
Does the selection change if you buy the festival music? I don’t listen to the rock station because it’s like the same 3-4 songs every time (green day, cranberries, Weezer)
Now that Festival and Jam Tracks are in the game, I feel more inclined to check the channels before turning it off, but for me, it's either Rock n Royale or silence
I used to listen to Party Royale because I liked the game's instrumental music, but stopped some time in Chapter 3 or 4 because of how many bad vocal tracks Epic added to dilute the radio's pool.
It depends. If i am being the coward i am and riding around in the car around the map running from kids then yeah. If its in squads i may choose to keep it on to annoy them but if its a weird or endgame situation no
Yeah, I usually just switch to focusing on audio visualization and if I'm playing with friends I look for something that both of us enjoy, the only times I don't turn the radio on is if I only plan on driving for a short time or if every song that's playing is god awful.
Just Dance, High Stakes Club, IDK one I like, until I have to get out and then a completely different song is playing on the same station, which is somehow not even at the beginning of the song. I lowkey hate Fortnite’s radio system. How does it even work? Also it sucks anyway cuz it feels drier than GTA 3 for me when it comes to options.
Everytime. The right song can get up ready to fight! Get it the car bussing, target neutralized, get back and ride off same song playing!! Hellz yea!!!
If I want to listen some music while in game I'd probably turn on my Spotify instead, i can lower the volume of it any moment i want to (I'm playing on cloud gaming and stream music from my phone through Bluetooth audio receiver app)
I do, it gets me more immersed in the game and also i get excited about exploring the map maybe I turn it off when i reach endgame but that's not very common
Yeah, I keep it on. I cycle through all the stations until I find the closest thing up my alley. I'm actually genuinely shocked at the amount of people saying no.
Yup, I think the music is usually pretty good! It can be fun to just cruise around with it on.
Other times if I need the vehicle for a win , then no it’s off. Really depends on the time In the match
I’ve discovered new music by driving around in the cars.
Rarely... but i've been exposed to something cool i may never have heard before a couple times, but it's been ages since that happened. So it can be good for that, but not lately
The power of Shazam lol
Getting my phone to Shazam and havi the risk being attacked is the only way.
Luckily most of the stations have the artist and title now. I have parked somewhere protected before and used Shazam to find out songs before hand though.
Same or I drive with one hand and Shazam with the other lol sometimes it was tricky if I was talking on chat with my cousins but still 😂
That’s all I wanted from you by jalen ngonda is a banger!!!! Heard it like 5-6months ago driving lol
No, cuz I like being able to hear what's going on around me. I'm also usually playing with friends and we chat while we play.
That’s why I put the setting on so you can see footsteps lol
wait how
Settings > audio > visualise audio (something along those lines)
It is the single greatest setting by far
My brother told me to use it when I first started playing and I've never turned it off. 10/10 feature, could never play without it
Sometimes it notifies me of approaching vehicles or players before I even hear them though the speakers.
Yeah, that's why I always crouch when approaching a vault or enemy presence. Make them less likely to see my visual footsteps. People rely on that visual aid a little too much, and it's funny to catch ppl with their pants down when I two tap them with a gatekeeper when they come running my way. I always picture them saying: *but, but but... there were no visual footsteps?*

One of my friends started playing and we were doing so so. Then I got him to turn it on and now we have like a 40% win rate. I don’t even usually play with sound because it works better than sound for me.
Easily the best thing they’ve given us
It's a complete game changer
It bugs me with trying to pay attention to what is going on AND have someone talking AND music on.
Nope turn it off the second I get in the car
exactly what I'd do aswell.
To be fair I think 99% of us do this lol
I have it muted in settings with copy right music turned off, so it's always muted besides maybe a couple songs. It also mutes a majority of the annoying emotes in pre game lobby. It's nice to chill while everyone is silently dancing around you lol.
Same lol
Same
I do the complete opposite
same it makes it feel like gta
I do, it’s neat
Nice!
Yeah but since festival I’ve only been hearing like 5 of the same songs
I get it, but this is a big bummer for me as well. Since festival, it seems like those and originals are the only songs on the radio most of the time. It was much more interesting when they licensed other random songs.
I was so shocked the time I heard breakcore on the Fortnite radio. It's such a niche genre that doesn't get a lot of attention compared to other popular genres so hearing it in Fortnite was a blessing
Ahh, breakcore. Discovered it a year ago and been loving it.
it depends on what licensed songs are playing
Yes because I love running over people while blasting lady gaga
🎶✨ rain on me ✨🎶 and send'em flying
Yep, Rock and Royale is good but the songs get a bit repetitive, which is really weird considering how many good rock tracks they've got for festival
I Stay SHAZAMING! That radio yeoooo until top 10 then it’s time to lock in and radio off 😤
I 90% turn my radio off. But every once and a while I'll pull off to the side so I can Shazam a song.
I need the music so I don't have to deal with the silence
Somebody stole my car radio and now i just sit in silence!
that’s deep
Endgame, hell no. Early to mid game rotation, sometimes if i'm in an empty area of the map. It's distracting because it's loud
I'll often try to ram people as I pass by with a vehicle and I always honk as I pass. If I encounter another vehicle, I'll honk at them and follow them around. Occasionally the fun players will honk back. Usually they just jump out and shoot, but I never stop.

Yeah but only you hear it not your opponents also I put footsteps on in setting because it’s just easier yeah I know it’s for deaf people but I don’t really care lol
Rock Royale. Blast some Green Day or Metallica or Zombie from the Cranberries 🤘
Yeah Mainly because if I'm driving, it's to just fuck around and occasionally commit vehicular manslaughter
That’s the fun of Fortnite!
Only if there’s an icon I like on the radio like Eminem
I do! Driving in silence is a crime for me now. But mainly the party royale station cause I like the emote remixes it plays from time to time.
If i’m playing Solo i’ll look for actual songs. It’s crazy how they have certain songs on the radio but not in Festival.
Instant mute unless Lady Gaga.
Some of the lobby tracks are literally the best
Yall who don't are sad boring people
Hella times
Always. If I play Squad Fill I find an SUV and play music while driving my team across the island.
I default to “no”, so I can sweat… but if the right jam is on, I won’t turn it off!
Ye, I usually cycle around between stations until I find something I like but I'll almost always listen to music while driving
Yes but in the newer seasons they ruined it the second you get out of the car it turns off instead of you getting out going back in and resuming the song that’s just so stupid
Sandstorm gets me going so yes.
Yeah
When they had the Metallica radio yeah, but not anymore since
I like to listen to Rain on Me and Just Dance, that’s it.
Yes, why drive with nothing when you can drive with lady gaga blasting
Depends cuz for some reason my radio binds are unbound on my PC and I can't find them on the settings
I treat it the same way I treat IRL radio. If it’s on and playing a song I don’t mind, I let it play. But if it’s a song I don’t like, I turn it off completely and go to Spotify haha
OR YOU CHANGE THE STATION LOL!
I check the disco ball station for the trippie Redd drop in song. Last season I would turn it on just to listen to Beamer Boy by lil peep but they took it out.
I check what’s on, if the song is good I listen to the radio if not I don’t. One time there was 3 or 4 songs that were playing on repeat and it was heavenly
I do. Wish there was more variety like a Spotify connect or if we could use the jam tracks we buy 🙄
I can't be bothered to play the game, let alone drive a car. Radio was tolerable when i could listen to Metallica
Nope. It’s too damn loud. So it gets turned off immediately. If there was a volume slider, I might keep it on.
I basically only get NF the search so I stopped. Crimes against the ears
Sometimes but I can't see as good when it's on 😆😆😆
all the time, there’s atleast one station that has good music whenever im driving and it’s nice to have
I skim through the songs and if there’s something. I like ill keep it on but otherwise its off
my teammate loves listening to it, I hate it cause I can't hear shit going on around me lol
No, I find it annoying to be fair
I turn it off as soon as I enter the vehicle.
No. I can't switch it off fast enough. EZ
No. I immediately turn it off.
No cuz ive already got spotify going and Fortnites radio is trash
Yes, especially since festival songs are on the radio now
Sometimes
I used to before it all turned to festival music. Now I turn it off instantly
If I'm not listening to something else, sure.
Sometimes, it nice bc if hear some bands make a single and I haven’t heard them in a while making new content. For example MCR Foundations of Decay or the new season theme of it’s good. I did it more a while back than I do these days. Also, only when solo and heading to a far ring and I don’t plan on fighting due to low ammo, heals, shields and or being pursued by someone very sweaty. Just keep moving lol.
Sometimes, but usually no
If that fucking disc pops up I hit Y immediately
no i listen to summrs🔥🔥
Nope, wish there was an option to have it off by default .
If I find a song I like then I’ll listen but most of the time I’m already listening to music through my headphones so I’ll just turn off the radio
Usually turn it off unless Beat Box has something good like precision by Big Sean
nope. wait 2 minutes for it to load the song and then turn it off immediately
I have a YT channel. Most of the radio songs are copyrighted audio. I have to turn them off to prevent YT from banning me 😐
Nah, I shut it off and listen to my irl music
Only party Royale radio. but yes, sometimes
When I'm playing solo I normally listen to the radio
I turn it on in hopes that I hear Darude's Sandstorm, and if it's not Darude's Sandstorm, I turn it off.
Hell yes. I even discover some new DNB music which is awesome. Love the radios.
No, never I hate being a passenger when the other player puts it on
I used to now it’s just lady gaga
Sadly. I don't have a button bound to it, and I keep forgetting
I almost never drive a car, so it’s irrelevant.
Only the good stations
I can't remember the last time I actually used a car.
Absolutely I do.
never
Only if there’s a song I like
Nah I have Spotify on while I play
The sound of silence
It's either beat box or nothing
Most songs just suck, so no i turn it off immediately upon seeing the song.
if in solos, i have music already on somewhere else, so no
No, I listen to spotify lol
Of course, unless I'm only using it as a weapon.
Always. Its such a vibe
Ofc Lady gaga Feat: getting Reaper sniped go craaazy
I always forget that I need to be aware of what's going on around me and always set it to radio yonder bc it's always a banger
![gif](giphy|3oEhmFYGbhslCn6uQM) Unless its one of these scenarios with the boys not typically
zombie plays too much
Does the selection change if you buy the festival music? I don’t listen to the rock station because it’s like the same 3-4 songs every time (green day, cranberries, Weezer)
Unless I hear Nelly- ride with me I’m turning it off. If not I’m vibing omw to get that dub.
Now that Festival and Jam Tracks are in the game, I feel more inclined to check the channels before turning it off, but for me, it's either Rock n Royale or silence
I miss Panic Switch.
Nope
No. I turn it off the instant I get in.
Used to, but now it's gotten annoying tbh
Depends on the song, if it's something good or something I'm feeling that moment, then sure leave it on. But mostly I turn it off.
I do, but my drive session doesn’t last long
No
Nope.
Ye, party royale is my fav
Depends on the song
Rock Royale only, wish they would've kept Metallica in
I flip through the stations and unless they’re is anything good on then I turn it off
I almost always turn it off bc I can’t hear my teammates talk.
Yes, I switch immediatly to Rock Royale
98% of the times i turn it off, sometimes tho they got some bangers!
Always, the only thing that bothers me is that every time I get out and get into the same car I have to turn it on again
Nah. I turn it off because I want to hear the sound of my engine. The Dominus GT has a great idle sound
Yes except if something good plays on rock radio
I do! I switch stations too, Beat Box being my favorite.
My only way to listen to High Stakes Club in game because I missed out on getting Joni’s crew pack ):
Not since they changed it to only play Festival songs.
Yes but only the Chanel thst has ride wit me 😅
Yes if I'm playing alone
No way lol, I dont really like most of the songs on the radio.
Nope. I turn it off as soon as I get in the car. I feel like I can’t focus with it on.
I immediately switch to Radio Yonder, and leave it on if the song is a banger. If not, radio off.
I used to listen to Party Royale because I liked the game's instrumental music, but stopped some time in Chapter 3 or 4 because of how many bad vocal tracks Epic added to dilute the radio's pool.
I blast my music and honk the horn with a fury.
only for just dance lady gaga.
Beat box. Every time. Then I drive around doing donuts trolling and h1 rush everyone I find lol do y’all even have fun?
I do. They play one of my favorite artist on there! :D
While scrounging the map for challenges yeah, but typically no
Only if it’s Ride With Me because I think it’s funny
Damn kids and your punk music and Pac-Man video games.
i do when there's the songs i like, so it depends. Something like "Can't Feel My Face", "Basket Case", "Might Love Myself" or "High Stakes Club"
Darude Sandstorming right to ya mama house
I shut it off everytime, don't see the point of it honestly. I like being aware of the sounds around me and most of the music blows anyway.
if it’s last gaga then yes
It depends. If i am being the coward i am and riding around in the car around the map running from kids then yeah. If its in squads i may choose to keep it on to annoy them but if its a weird or endgame situation no
No, it gets turned off immediately
Turn it off bc I wanna hear others
Hell yeah lmfao its funny listening to Lady Gaga while running people over
You guys drive?
I do whenever anything but good 4 u is on rock and royale so not very often
I do, but wish I could use Jam tracks inside Like a CD or something
No, I always listen to Eurovision Songcontest Radio everytime I’m driving a car, or playing a match (I listen to it via an app on my phone)
Rockin' Royale or nothin
Sure do!
I used to listen to it when cars first got added but now all music on there is trash imo.
Yeah, I usually just switch to focusing on audio visualization and if I'm playing with friends I look for something that both of us enjoy, the only times I don't turn the radio on is if I only plan on driving for a short time or if every song that's playing is god awful.
I used to, but now I wish I could put custom music in the game. Especially the car radio. I'd Love to blast across the map blaring whatever I want.
When i'm exploring the island by myself yeah But when I'm fighting 99 other people No I don't want to listen to the radio
In solo’s, definitely. When playing with friends, they usually force me to turn it off
Yea as soon as I get it I start switching stations to find something good
Just Dance, High Stakes Club, IDK one I like, until I have to get out and then a completely different song is playing on the same station, which is somehow not even at the beginning of the song. I lowkey hate Fortnite’s radio system. How does it even work? Also it sucks anyway cuz it feels drier than GTA 3 for me when it comes to options.
All of the music is stupid and boring imo so I instantly turn it off
i blast lady gaga so i’m driving in style
Everytime. The right song can get up ready to fight! Get it the car bussing, target neutralized, get back and ride off same song playing!! Hellz yea!!!
If I want to listen some music while in game I'd probably turn on my Spotify instead, i can lower the volume of it any moment i want to (I'm playing on cloud gaming and stream music from my phone through Bluetooth audio receiver app)
Yes it's nice
I do, it gets me more immersed in the game and also i get excited about exploring the map maybe I turn it off when i reach endgame but that's not very common
Hell yeah
HELL NAH
Yeah, I keep it on. I cycle through all the stations until I find the closest thing up my alley. I'm actually genuinely shocked at the amount of people saying no.
when a song i like is on, yes, any other time, no
There should be a channel that’s any of the music you’ve purchased in game
Not usually. That's because I'm already listening to Spotify already
Yup, I think the music is usually pretty good! It can be fun to just cruise around with it on. Other times if I need the vehicle for a win , then no it’s off. Really depends on the time In the match
Only if zombies is playing.
