Why shouldn't you download Fortnite on Android right now

"Building is not a playstyle, its a core mechanic of the game and the most skill based aspect of it, " reads on lengthily titled thread, another tells Epic to "make BLITZ a permanent mode so we all have something to enjoy while you kill the standard game, " or likens it to removing aerial boost in Rocket League.

As Fortnite fans await its mobile debut on Android, YouTube videos have been detected claiming to contain downloads for the game. It's worth pointing out that while Epic Games is working on creating an Android version of its hyper-popular game, it hasn't been released yet.

The malicious developers typically earn money when an eager player downloads the fake apps, which is a common hoax that malevolent developers use whenever there is a lot of hype surrounding a video game's release.

Fortnite has built a massive audience for itself in trying to stand out from other games in the Battle Royale space, namely PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. What we see through research is that there are no official Google Play Store apps but most are hosted externally as Application Package Kit (APK) files, which can be installed on Android devices.

Basically, this well-known popular open-world game is now only available for iOS platform for several months, and still, there is no official release date for our preferred mobile operating system, of course, Android.

If he falls to eight and the Cavs still take Young or Sexton, it could be a strong indicator a deal for Walker will be announced. All-Star point guard Kemba Walker is now manning the starting point guard position for the Hornets, who went 36-46 in 2017-18.

Fortnite is already available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, iOS, Mac, and most recently, Nintendo Switch. The program on it performs all the functionalities and supports all the apps which a great smartphone has in it.

The fake apps being shared online look legitimate, with realistic-looking icons taken from the iOS version, loading screens and even music taken from Fortnite.

Once the fake Fortnite game is downloaded, it asks users to download several other apps in order to "unlock" the ability to play the game. "To "verify" the user must complete a task, which involves downloading another "free" app".

"Due to the massive interest of users surrounding the Fortnite game, many gaming and tutorial websites have started taking advantage of Android users' impatience with frighteningly convincing scams, which is all over Google and YouTube as well", Hacker News said.
