Fortnite's latest update has taken away building and the action is leaving players in awe.
It's safe to say that no one was prepared for this game changing gameplay to be implemented into such a world renowned game. Fortnite has just updated it's new season going by the name of Resistance and they are bringing the heat with new gameplay mechanics.
No more building!
A new system of protecting yourself while fighting for the #1 spot in Battle Royale has arrived and its called Overshield. Acting as the first line of defense before a players shield and health take a hit. Even if the Overshield gets down to 0 it will still recover as gameplay progresses.
Movement Upgrades
Two new movements have been added into the new season. When a surface is too high or a platform is just slightly far for landing, mantling will allow for your hands to help pull you up. Players can now have some relief from fall damage if they can grasp on to a surface or ledge.
Sprinting to doors to bash them open with your shoulder is another wild mechanic that's been added to this seasons gameplay. You can also slide into doors to open them, but a watch out for crosshair headshots if you do so.
You can also run at a faster speed. Fortnite now has a faster default movement speed and faster sprint! You run so fast that you won't be able to shoot or ADS while you're moving. But it's not forever, a new sprint meter will tell you how much longer you can move at that pace.
New Weapons, Vehicles, and Characters
Light and heavy turrets are making a comeback to battle royale. When going to pro-Resistance sites you can vote to install either turrets. Want to aim better while shooting? You can now mount with the turrets to increase weapon accuracy.
One new vehicle add-on in the new season is the Armored Battle Bus. It's loaded with a light turret, a heavy turret, chonker tires, and a cow catcher for extra ramming power. To acquire this vehicle in-game and see in action would be a sight to see. However it can't be obtained until it is fully funded with Bars.
Get a hold of two new weapons this season! The new Combat SMG packs just as much as the Combat Assault Rifle and Combat Pistol. The weapons recoil is jumpy but if you control it, players can get the most out of its power. The Striker Burst Rifle is a two-shot semi auto weapon that comes with a customized sight. This weapon packs a punch up close and is a laser from long distance.
The characters are always a piece of the game that all players look forward to. 8 new characters have been added and its safe to say that they're looking the part for this season. Marvel's Prowler and Dr. Strange have been added along with Tsuki 2.0, Gunnar, The Imagined, Kiara K.O., The Origin, and Erisa.
Get out there now and fight for glory! Without the option of building of-course!
If you've ever played PUBG then this season shouldn't be too hard for you. The controversy surrounding this season without building is new, but it shouldn't be too much of a challenge. For those players who pride themselves off winning Fortnite Battle Royale from their building, now is the time to strengthen your boots-on-the-ground skills. Winning a Battle Royale match in this season may be balanced and more equal for those who aren't typically good at building.
