'Fortnite': Players Can Now Thank the Bus Driver After Fan Petition

3.5
Gamers love petitions and Fortnite players are no exception. We wrote about a pretty hilarious fan petition that made the rounds back in July, asking for the chance to thank the bus driver that drops players off into the kill-or-be-killed Battle Royale mode and it looks like Epic Games has finally listened!

The original petition was featured the creator writing, "Since I was just a boy I have always loved jumping out of the battle bus. But all this time I have felt something was missing. And that thing is the ability to thank the driver of the battle bus, he or she is truly a great person and they provide us a great service, I think it is time we can truly appreciate thair (sic) service, don't you agree?"

Now if you look in the bottom left hand corner in the chat, you can see that the ability to show off those manners is now fully in effect.


See? The internet can be wholesome sometimes! Pretty much everyone in the comment section was happy to hear the news, so many people really just wanted to share their thanks. After all, driving around a bunch of people in some of those hilarious costumes can't be an easy job. According to the thread, simply open up your emote menu when in the Battle Bus and the option to say a hearty "thank you" will be there ready to be used!

On one hand, it's pretty simple and I can't imagine this was hard to implement, but on the other hand it's just one of the many ways Epic Games shows that they are listening. This studio has time and time again proven that they are dedicated to their player base and are so quick to make the adjustments in-game that so many ask for.

Fortnite is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS and select Android devices. Happy gaming!

A useless feature but it's funny I don't know why.

I always forget you can do it although I see it spammed in the bottom corner

A small funny feature. A lot of people don't realize how easy it is to add something like this then compare it to fixing bugs or balancing a weapon.

ArkaniPosted:

It's a funny silly thing to do that wasn't necessary to add but it's fine.

LGWPosted:

Scary how much people are jumping on the "fix the game" bandwagon. They're making changes all the time and yet people still find the time to complain constantly. You're never going to please everyone. The folk complaining are the ones waiting for their gameplay style to be put back in, aka double pumping etc. They added a very simple feature and you're all jumping on the hate bandwagon. Grow up.

Instead of fixing other issues let's add a shitty "thank the bus driver feature" absolutely amazing!

MobTiesPosted:

MazePosted:

Pretty goofy if you ask me, but a nice little touch nonetheless.

Lily They can't balance out damage but they can sure add more features to the game.

I think the thing's cool, I just think there's other issues with the game that need to be attended.


I mean big difference in adding maybe one or two lines of code vs tweaking a whole weapon
