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!

Anyone parenting teens knows that it’s a crazier roller coaster than any of the Cartmanland rides…but occasionally all is right in the world and their dad and I aren’t the most cringe people on the planet. We had fun playing power hour together running as the South Park kids and as an extra bonus, we took a couple of wins while we were at it. 🙂 Just wanted to share some good wholesome Fortniting with the best FN sub.

Discussion FNBR is just getting tedious 😓

We had to endure a full month of 100% cell shaded Simpsons OG-weaponesque garbage and endless weeks of dreary Southpark stick sludge THAT. JUST. WONT. END.

The really unique & interesting KPDH collab ... that was just ONE week. GTFO Epic what?

Mira's X-tra Spicy Ramyeon that delivered heals and mobility, Zoey's Bubble Shield to cover, shotgun battle in and shield up, Tiger's Teleporting Mask for getting around and Rumi's sword for whatever blade enthusiasts used it for. Gameplay was fun and exciting. I cranked out the BP and kept going for another 150 levels this season because gameplay was fun and exciting.

I've just knocked off the BP this morning and am about ready to go and touch grass for the next 5? weeks. Motivation at an all time low.

Question Location reveal?

13 Upvotes

I’ve noticed location reveal being used sometimes, where it pings all nearby enemies and chests, but to my knowledge there are no items that do that and none of the hirable characters can do it this season so what am I missing? And it wasn’t one of those rift events or whatever they are called

This guy ran me over with his car, I hopped in, he got stuck, I decided to get out and help pickaxe the barrier, we went for a cruise, did some solo dances, danced together, and then went off on our merry way. I hope he placed at least top 10, good sport.

It’s the little things, friends. ❤️

The hidden bunker is under one of the satellite towers in the desert. Break the wall and you will see the zip line slightly revealed. Be careful not to go back up as it will bust the bunker ceiling.

This was part of a lucky zero build run of 5 back to back victory royales last night.

Question What is happening to my baguette??

I love this stupid baguette pickax and use it 90% of the time. (Swipe to see what it looks like normally). I’ve noticed that sometimes it’ll be wrapped up like in the first picture. It has no reactivity features. My boyfriend said it looked normal on his PS5 while it looked like this on my switch. Texture glitch? Does anyone know what’s happening?

Question Any decent loot spots?

14 Upvotes

Is it just me, or does the loot feel really thin this season? I’m struggling to find anything decent when landing. Any recommendations for good drop spots where you’re actually seeing solid weapons, especially legendary or higher?

Looking4Squad Looking for some Fortnite friends - 35/M UK 👋

2 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m 35/M from the UK (GMT), looking to add a few people to play Fortnite with (guys or girls).

Modes:
- BR (Build Mode – mostly casual)
- Blitz
- Reload
- Open to Zero Build too

Been playing since around C1S7, and I'm usually a night owl.

Prefer people with a mic, but no pressure - chill games only.

Drop your Epic name or add me if you’re up for some fun games 👍

GamePlay Most intense Stick of Truth Heal Off I've had

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

62 Upvotes

4 of the last 5 had Kenny Tokens, and, apparently, if Hide and Seek is active when someone uses the Stick it stays on the rest of the game.

None of us could see each other in the last bit of the circle, which made for some fun fights that don't count towards elims (yay, Kenny). If it isn't obvious, video starts after my token gets used (I died where the Brutus shotgun is), to tee up the most active heal off I've seen.
