Fortnite is testing a clever way to help you find teammates - The Verge

Epic Games is testing new social tags in Fortnite that you can use to indicate your preferred way to play the game. You’ll be able to send invites to like-minded players from a new Looking For Group section.

Fortnite can be an absolute blast to play with your friends, but being matched up with random players is more hit-and-miss. In some of the randomized groups I’ve been in, coordinating any sort of effective strategy can be a challenging endeavor, particularly if some team members want to rush into battle while others would prefer to play it slow. To help you find better squadmates, Fortnite developer Epic Games is testing new social tags for profiles that let you indicate how you like to play and can be used to match you up with other like-minded players.

According to a blog post, tags will include things like your favorite game modes and whether you want to use a mic or not. If you have added at least one social tag, you’ll be able to send and receive party invites from people with matching tags who are in your server region using a new “Looking for Party” section in the sidebar menu. You can flip “Looking For Party” on or off, so if you don’t want to get invites from other players based on your tags, just switch it off.

Here's a look at the new #Fortnite Social Tags feature that is rolling out to some players and will be available to everyone not long after!It can be used to put 3 tags to best describe your gameplay to use the Looking For Party tab to find others similar to you! pic.twitter.com/hWXNP1tJTJ
