I’ve severely conflicted feelings on this new Fortnite season by Epic, to put it mildly.
On the one hand, I’m not the best at shooters, so being able to ramp up and make my own cover anywhere is pretty rad…
On the other hand, I can’t compete with the kind of players that can build the Sistine Chapel in half a nanosecond, so can’t complain too much.
On the other OTHER hand, I’m dropping this gag before I start looking like an Elden Ring boss. Specifically, this handsome devil:
Jokes aside, building will return to Fortnite March 29th (according to dataminers). From what I’ve played so far, the new features are a breath of fresh air and I’m looking forward to seeing how it meshes with building. What are the new features? I’m so glad I asked!
Tactical Sprint: Players now have a stamina bar, which drains with the usual sprint button (L3 on PS4). You can run faster, jump higher and further until it drains. Then it’ll recharge and ey-presto, back to the hardcore parkour!
Ledge climbing: It’s a good thing I play a lot of Assassin’s Creed! You don’t need a tactical sprinting jump to climb ledges, just jump up close to one and there you go.
Them Led Zeppelins Tho: Which is to say, giant floaty sky blimps are scattered across the map. The amount of loot on them is relatively sparse if you’re not the first on there, so land wisely. You can take a zip line up or down whenever you need to, or use the properly-sky-whirly contraptions on the side to glide off in another direction.
New Weapons… Or Rather, Old Weapons: Considering my gripes with the game removing tactical shotguns in exchange for the auto and strikers, it’s great to hear multiple classic guns have returned to the game!
Combat variations of Sub-Machine and Dom-Machine Guns have returned!
The Drum Shotgun is a favorite of mine.
The Thermal Scoped Machine Gun for all your Metal Gear Solid fantasies… Speaking of which: Given the game has a new-found focus on player movement systems, maybe a crawling prone skill would be a fine addition to the game. I imagine memelords everywhere would start T-Bagging on prone mates in co-op and end up accidentally getting the mechanic shut down for being inappropriate, but a guy can dream!
And last but not least, Overshields: Players have a 50-shield-point large rechargeable shield, giving a little extra help in combat if you’re low on health and about to attempt a stick-up at Condo Canyon because your trigger-happy ass didn’t think things through beforehand!
