What's this?

I've played about 15 times. Have yet to get a kill. Just not really my

style. I like FPS (and play a TON of Destiny and do just fine) but the whole premise of Fortnite just doesn't appeal to me. Either I spend so much time trying to find a weapon that I end up way outside the storm area and get picked off trying to get safe or I land somewhere with lots of weapons but also lots of other players and get picked off trying to get a weapon.
