What happens if I buy the game on or after July 21st?
The head start will apply to any purchases up until the official release on July 25th. Purchases made between then will get the preorder bonus Storm Master Weapon pack. Any purchase on the 25th or later will not receive the preorder bonus but will still receive the normal bundle bonuses.
Where are my Friend codes
Players will be able to hand out the Friend codes after the game release on the 21st. They will have access to the game on the 21st.
Do I have to use the friend codes on the same system?
This is unknown, we believe that they need to be redeemed on the system the Super deluxe or better was purchase on.
Why should I preorder Fortnite/spend $40 now when it will be F2P
This is up to your personal tastes and opinions. If you are on the fence about Fortnite, you should check out some of the awesome commander videos on youtube, Arekkz did a good breakdown of Fortnite. Fortnite will go Free to Play in 2018 and the bundles give you a ton of cool items at a discount, including the ability to play now (July 21/25th) rather then waiting 6+months.
