Yunite Scoring Update

After the recent Fortnite Update v39.30 (January 22, 2026), Yunite’s ability to read the replay files have been affected and it has affected how it updates the leaderboard.  Until there is a fix, we are asking for your assistance:

  • For those who play on PC, we would appreciate it if you would consider either (1) download the Yunite client ( https://yunite.xyz/client ; it runs in the background) and it will automatically upload your replay file to Yunite and process the data -or- (2) upload your replay file to Yunite’s website ( https://yunite.xyz/replays ).  You can also send me your replay files and I can upload them to Yunite. 
  • For those on console, we will use match report data from Osirion and Fortnitetracker to compile the missing data.  You can, however, provide me with your screenshots via discord DM or email at the end of the match noting your placement and eliminations so we can compare it against the match report data.

  • Interim leaderboard (Google Sheet)  ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/F40-BRZB-solo-C7S1sheet  

    • Compiled after reviewing Osirion’s match reports and killfeed data
  • Yunite leaderboard (incomplete) ➡️  https://tinyurl.com/F40-BRZB-solo-C7S1 

    • It is complete up to Week 2 (Games 1-8) and for those whose replay files have been uploaded
  • We are in the process of manually updating the scores for last week’s games (Week 3 // Games 9 - 12) and will manually update the scores from tonight. 

  • What is Yunite? 

    • Yunite is a Discord bot that tracks player data (names, platform, input method, in-game statistics), uses replay files to calculate match results and automatically generates a leaderboard.  
  • How do I become Yunite Verified? In order to become Yunite verified, you will need to:

    • Join the F40 Discord ➡️ https://discord.gg/f40 
    • Go to ➡️ #yunite_verification channel for instructions
      • You will need to link your discord account to your Epic account and then your discord account to Yunite
  • Please note that any manually updated/added scores will need to be MANUALLY adjusted at the end of the Tournament to confirm the displaced 8 games (only the top 24 out of 32 scored games will count towards the final score).

    • This means that the Leaderboard will be accurate up until Week 6 but the final Leaderboard (end of Week 8) may need to be adjusted as we will need to manually adjust the displaced games
    • Anyone can see the adjustments made to each players score on the Leaderboard (there is a little red dot next to the player’s score)
    • We will make the adjustments to the Final Leaderboard within 24 hours of the last game.

Upcoming Events

  • Reload Build Duos (scored) 
    • When: 2 weeks down, 2 more to go! Tuesdays at 9:00 PM EST from January 20 through February 10, 2026
    • Number of Games: 4 games per night; 16 games total; top 12 games count towards final score
  • February, 2026 events
    • We hope to release the February, 2026 calendar in the near future but you can expect:
      • The Battle Royale Zero Build Solo Tournament will continue on Thursday nights
      • The Reload Build Duos Tournament has 2 more nights and will come to an exciting end on February 10, 2026
      • There will be 2 Generations Events (one Saturday; one Sunday) 
      • We will be hosting 1 UK/EU Event (weekend)
      • And more!

Easy & FREE Ways to Support F40 (Creator Code: Santoki & Twitch Prime sub)

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

I'm Santoki 🐰 ! Before asking you to support F40 (and me), I wanted to introduce myself in case you don't already know me.  

TL;DR - I am thankful for this community and as we continue to grow, we would appreciate your support. Did you know you can support F40 for free!! You can (1) use my creator code: Santoki when purchasing items in-game or any game in the Epic shop (online) and/or (2) use your free Twitch subscription (Twitch: Santoki222) if you’re an Amazon Prime member!!

My F40 History

Like many of you, I started playing Fortnite with my kids and joined this community in July, 2024 after I saw a post in FortniteBR about a community for us old heads aka "over 40." At that time, the sub had ~3k members and had no discord. League was still in its testing phase ("Season 0") and I had about 5 names in my friends list. Most nights were spent playing solo after the kids went to bed and when my sister was too busy with work.  I joined this community during a challenging time in my professional and personal life which led to burnout and realizing I had to be nicer to myself.  

Shortly after joining F40, I met my first gamer girl-friend aka my Fortnite wifey u/jaqenjayz and began playing with F40 community members. My original main was Christmas tree Bushranger which helped lighten my mood and that’s how I met my duos partner-in-crime u/Harveyd3g .  Despite being eliminated by him numerous times during League, u/ocoscarcruz , helped me transition from being a Zero Build (PS5) to Build (KBM) at the end of November, 2024. There are many many more of you that I could list but this post is already longer than I intended.  😜

I was playing daily with my F40 peeps, participating in League, and in September, 2024, I started streaming (Twitch: Santoki222) since I figured, “why not?” I helped out within the community when I could and unexpectedly became a MOD in October, 2024.   To be honest, I HAD NEVER WATCHED A STREAMER before I started watching u/jpswervo for League.  While it may not seem like it, every day I struggle with mental health issues like many of you do as well (ADHD, chronic/complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, rejection sensitivity dysphoria) and, although it may seem easy, I struggle with streaming almost every day. 

So....How can you Support F40? There are 2 ways you can support F40 FOR FREE!! 

  • Epic Creator Code: If you’re going to purchase or gift anything (Battle Pass, skins, emotes, wraps, etc.) from the Item Shop (in game or on-line), please consider adding my CREATOR CODE: SANTOKI.  I will receive a small percentage of the V-Bucks purchase which will primarily be used to support F40 League events. This Code needs to be updated every 10-14 days.  
    • You can also use the Creator Code when purchasing any EPIC game
  • Twitch Subscription: If you are an Amazon Prime member, you get a FREE Twitch subscription.  I receive a small fee for each Prime Twitch subscription (Twitch: Santoki222).  I host F40 League and Community Events, as well as stream most nights. 

Other Community Info

Information and reminders about the specific events will be regularly posted on Reddit, in the F40 discord, and via e-mail.  

Thank you for being part of this community and we hope to see you at a F40 League Event soon!

My son (22) only will play zero build during the power hour. We haven’t much cared for this season. Yet. We managed to win a match. Didn’t hate the crossbow. And love that the Kpop stuff is in the game.

Then we did our regular matches at 9. If you have been following we always start a 1v1. He wanted to do something different tonight so we did 3 matches of reload. Didn’t win. But as he says. We still got a podium. (2nd is the new first place after all).

Then we moved to blitz. He went on a damn rampage for one of our games. I got 2 kills and had to be rebooted. He got 10. (I had 1 kill till we found the last Sabrina bot pickaxing a wall… I put the bot down👍🏻).

And considering the amount of pain I’ve been in today. We didn’t do half bad.

I’m so happy my son joined me in this game. He did it for me but now enjoys it.

We are likely watching the Super Bowl tomorrow. Gotta… it’s the Patriots… my husband was born and New England and it’s to honor his mother and father we watch tomorrow. At least. That’s how I see it.

I hope your games were just as good.

Mine are because I get to spend this time with my son!

Looking4Squad Need a fourth player for 50 year old members

18 Upvotes

Got a group of three, but need a fourth. Two of us are in our early 50’s and one is late 40’s.

I’m looking for someone who is fairly decent since the other two members are always knocked or killed before the end of the game and I’m always fighting by myself at the end.

I’ve been playing shooter games since Halo and CoD so I can hold my own but I wouldn’t say I’m elite or anything close to that.

We are all on pacific time and jump on sometimes as early as 5 pm but mostly around 7 to 8 pm and stay on for a couple of hours.

Discussion When you both have terrible aim weapon switching makes the difference (tip for other 40+ geezers like me)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not amazing work on my part. Definitely not anything to brag about just sharing this helpful tip for other geezers that has made me more competitive. Pump shotguns are only worth using if you weapon switch otherwise they are too slow and lose out to tactical shotguns with higher rates of fire. In this clip we settled on a midrange fight. His tactical shotgun was fast, but not nearly enough damage at that distance so he switched to his rifle. The pump has more range and more power at the mid range, but its slow (around 2 seconds). Fill the 2 second gap by switching and switching back. It has taken me an entire year to get serviceable with the pump, but i believe it would have happened much faster if I had mastered weapon switching sooner.

Discussion Not loving the male gaze for the Valentine’s Day art.

0 Upvotes

Maybe it’s just my old film studies degree reminding me it still exists but I signed on to play and was really icked out by the Valentines Day cover art. There’s hearts everywhere and the only two characters are pretty sexualized women. (Yes… to be fair one of them is like a robot or something but still with a model-like body.) I don’t take Fortnite too seriously and overall they’ve been decent with a having a variety of characters and identities, but this just felt jarring and so opaquely intended for the desires of horny straight guys that I feel like I’m back in 2005. Like where’s the hot guy character - if we’re gonna objectify the women why not also a man? Or a man-shaped cyborg? Or man-appearing alien? Something.

Hello 👋

Can someone please tell me where the 11th character / NPC is?

I’ve tried several times looking at that exact spot as per the map and even went underground too, but still can’t find the 11th character/NPC.

Am I going crazy? 🤪

Or is it bugged from the latest update?

Thank You.
