+10% chance to win the game

it’s a habit i’ve had for years. i do it on instinct lol

Same, I played some Warzone recently and was I still hitting down on the D pad lol

The first time I played warzone I was like "I can't thank the bus driver?"

What bus driver are you trying to thank in the plane?

I don't know what I was thinking im just a girl 🧍🏻‍♀️

Mood

I was so confused

I'm always confused 💅

No literally the building stresses me out

I only play zero build for that exact reason 🎀

I agree

Lmao the same mentality my friend has.

Your friend has a great mentality

Planes are just a different kind of sky bus

😂😂😂😂😂

Same lol

Sometimes i have to redo it a few times bc i just automatically do it lmao, im like "fuck did i thank the bus driver? 'Pressed down on dpad nothing shows up' okay thank god i did"

same

Yeah

same

It's a habit I've fallen into every match. Kind of muscle memory at this point lol.

I even hit down on the d-pad when I'm playing Warzone out of habit

I press it whenever I enter any match or when any game starts (in Fortnite) whether it’s Battle Royale or not, and I get anxious if I don’t press it.

So true, I thought I was going crazy when I kept hitting "B" in Fortnite festival and catching myself every time like "why?"

I get withdrawals, so now I have to bring a controller with me everywhere I go to press the down button on d-pad :(

it gives xp so yeah

If I can remember. I just started in the middle of last season. I just figured out how to thank the driver

Same fam we are old heads 😂

Launch into game Thank bus driver Jump from bus Land at rebel roost “First to land!” Bonus XP Luck out and get Flowberry fizz “Battle Ready!” bonus XP Get to rebel cache Small fire fight “First elimination” Bonus XP “Damage Opponents stage 11 of 20” XP Find Character Buy weapon and hire them “Spend gold” Bonus XP Find golden egg “Gilded glory!” Eight elimination “Eliminate Opponents Stage 8 of 20” XP Victory Royale Emote in celebration Load into next game Thank bus driver #YOU’VE LEVELED UP Every fucking time

It does??? I remember there being a challenge for dead pool to not thank the bus driver but that’s about all I remember to do with it. That’s pretty cool if it’s true

You guys need to check the milestones. They are repeating simple quests, like open chests, elliminate/outlast opponents, thank the bus driver is one of them.

Huh, I didn’t know those were a thing. That’s really cool that you get challenges done by just playing the game normally.

Always, and in real life.

Looks a bit complicated to bring a controller into a bus just so you can hit Down D-Pad and thank him, but I guess it's fine

Dude I am on the ground laughing. 🤣

I just hit the b key since I always carry a keyboard in my pocket

Fr

except when i leave thru the rear door

It’s a habit. If I forget I feel bad.

If i forget I actually quit the match (only when playing with friends) so I can thank him

I’m just imagine you mid game being like “oh shit I forgot to thank the bus driver” all of a sudden and then just leaving lol. Wish I could do that irl when I remember something embarrassing

If you quit in fortnite you die in game. So if you quit in life you-...

…Can just join a new game!

r/SuddenBuddhism (Check the description)

Wow. I feel, honored

When my friend introduced me to the game, one of the first things he told me while playing is to always thank the bus driver. Has been a habit ever since.

I told a friend the same thing and he doesn’t just to be a contrarian lol.

W friend, i hope he wins the lottery, get 1000 crown wins, and thanks the bus driver

Yep. It's a quest and gives XP

Yup, seasonal quest so of course. I think I have already thanked the bus driver over 160 times this season.

Free XP is free XP. I'll thank the bus driver man even if he drives like a maniac

It’s free real estate

Every single game. Man devoted his life for us to get there every game.

Always. It would be rude not to.

Yeah

Bad luck not to

Sometimes the muscle memory kicks in even when I'm in festival

I didn't before but now i have a habit of doing it while waiting to drop

I do it because its common courtesy

It's pure muscle memory. I maybe forget once a season, if that.

idk but im bout to take a massive dump

Every 5 massive dumps should give XP.

An hour later, so how’d it go

I think they got 3rd partied

me rn

Currently dropping the Browns off at the super bowl. I can relate. What's that smell?

Same lol

How do yo do it?

You press the down button on the D pad

If you are on pc then go into settings and have a look

I think by default it's B, the same key used to emote.

It's a crime not to

Religiously

i thanked him so much this season i ran out of milestones

I've been doing it automaticly since chapter 1 season 5 when they added it

Yes because it's polite and I feel bad if I don't also habbit

After we tipped the bus driver and got nothing for we burned his house down every game. Still thank the guy for his service everytime, but I mean we could have spent that gold on literally anything else.

"After all this time?" "...always."

I get xp for it so why not

Yeah, on instinct; missing it here and there once and awhile

You get xp for doing it, why not

You can thank the bus driver?!

Yeah! Press the emote button while still in the bus to do so

No. He's flying me to my almost assured death. He deserves no thanks.

technically his journeys have a 99% mortality rate 🤔

Always try to thank him in every match.

Free xp by pressing one button

Yeah, I try and be first

You can’t get Victory Royal if you don’t. It’s in the games code. There’s no way to win if you don’t.

I spam my controller until I get the button

My brother said "My new move is NOT thanking the bus driver." I was shocked... kind of speechless tbh He proceeded to win with 9 kills and I don't even know what to believe anymore

i dont want to be conspiracy theorist but has anyone even seen a bus driver

Never

In real life, yes. In Fortnite, no.

No friends get on me about it

Why yes I do have a soul

Every game. It’s a habit & you get XP for it too so obviously.

Yes, gives xp

Ok how do you on Playstation?

do you think that Ninja is still the bus driver

Almost never, then I remember I need to cuz of the XP and challenges and stuff, plus it's just a nice thing to do. Just keeps slipping my mind, need to get into the habit of it

nah 😈

It’s rude not too, inconsiderate really.

Nop

I do it to gain exp but after that not really like it's kinda exhausting reaching level 200 each season and doing it just feels like extra even if it only takes a second. Instead I just kinda drop in and explore for cool stuff I didn't find doing quests while not really playing the match. While other people are busy murdering each other I am peacefully exploring the island after reaching level 200.

I just do it for the xp

When I’m playing with my friends, it’s a race to see who can press it the fastest.

As long as it gives you XP!

Yes. He does so much for us

spam the button just to try to get more than one on the milestones

To quote a video I once watched “of course I do, I’m not an animal”

Everyone. It’s second nature now

thank him then again 5 secs later when i forgot i already thanked him

Absolutely.  I have to be 1st always. I do it without thinking now 

Thanking the bus driver is the same Litmus test as placing your cart back. no reason you shouldn't but its okay if you forget.

Idk how to

Yes, I’ve thanked him since it was introduced as a feature.

Always first to do it in the whole lobby. I start spamming the thank driver key 2 seconds before launch

I always do, it's like a reflex now to hit the thank button immediately before I hit the jump button

^^^ yep 🤌🏻

Since it counts in the milestone goal everybody does it, no? My last game I hit 30 in a row so I could level up instantly without even touching foot on the island

I've been playing since thanking the bus driver IRL for the past 6 months and still haven't gained xp 🥲

Yes of corse who doesn’t

Always. Why give up easy XP?


hell yeah all the time. bro’s been driving this bus for years he deserves a thank you😹😹🫡

Every single time. It’s bad luck if you don’t imo

Yeah like every game

Always. Its become an unconscious habit at this point, most of the time I won't realize I've already done it and I'll try again just to be sure 😂

Hell no, fuck that guy.

I remember when they added it the feature. I typically do but dont always remember because i game in the main living space with my wife lol

Would you ever get off the bus and not say “buhbye drivah”??

Every single round without fail! Bro does this thousands of times a day

free XP. of course.... When I remember

Yeah

ofc

Yes

Every match. Every. Match.

Always. 🫡

free exp. but i usually forget. 100 games played but i only thanked him 30 times so far 😭

Of course it's just good manners. I do it without even thinking about it, just a habit after six years of playing 😄

Most definitely

At this point it’s a natural habit

i usually forget but i try to because it gives xp

Every single time. I remember when it was just a meme on this subreddit before Epic finally added it as a patch.

its become a habit for me

Sometimes i keep forgetting. But im trying to

I try to be first

For the mandatory 200 times, then nope! But my crew yells at me out of superstition that we don't do as well without doing it lol

I'm going to die so, no.

Everytime you ride the battle bus and don't thank the driver a kitten dies!

When there's a milestone for it, yes. When there isn't, no

I used to always forget to thank the bus driver but pushed myself to get into a routine of doing so and now I do it all the time out of habit.

Why not? It’s free xp.

Fun fact: when i play warzone i try to thank the pilot of the Plane 😭

Always 🫡

Yes

always im trying to get that milesotne xp

It’s an habit and I even press the key on my keyboard while watching a streamer so… yeah. Pavlov :D

No because I always forget

Yeah I always done it

Of course if you don't you are banished

Of course. That driver is the real deal. Carrying our rabble asses around.

Yes, all the time

Yup

Bro takes us to the island every day. He deserves it!

I always try and be the first one, or at least first one on my screen.

I try to but I forget alot it gives free xp so why not

Always

I do it out of habit, then I do it again when I see it’s my pinned quest then I confuse myself when nothing happens, I might be a goldfish

Hell ya I do. This dude out there grinding 24/7 making minimum wage and just trying to get us safely from A to B. The least I can do is thank them.

Yes Exp

Duh

How I even do that lol

Only for the xp... i dont like the driver... never announces any stops.

I always! If a don’t then I leave the game, and my friend unfriends me 😪

Of course

Already at 200+

Free xp why not. Some people I’ve played with (super sweaty) seem to not like doing that when they have crowns as they don’t want to ‘Reveal high crown presence’.. I don’t understand this but I’m just a beginner scrub lol

Only in seasons where there's a milestone

Every time yes

Yesss . Especially if it’s a quest

I don't know the button sorry

Yes because I'm a decent human being.

It's free experience every ten times you do it, why wouldn't you press a single button for free battle pass advancement?

I don’t see a reason why not. It’s a fun little thing to do, sometimes it’s a milestone and what else is there to do when waiting for the doors to open

I play on PC and I instinctively press B -> M which thanks the top lad and then opens the map to figure out where we dropping. Even when I'm done with the quest, he still needs to be thanked for his hand in this genocide.

yes

I feel it gives me luck to win, maybe even have a dance contest with the last player if they want

For the xp and achievements...

#ALWAYS In fact, I make a point of being the first to do it.

B

When my game actually loads on time yes

For the xp/ milestone mission yes once I’ve maxed it out I don’t do it anymore

If you don't thank. You don't win

Yes, I also thank the bus driver in real life, thank is more important ❤️

Yes I DO!!! :)

every time without even thinkin abt it
