Wednesday is replace day for Fortnite Battle Royale, and this week’s sees the welcome return of the 50v50 occasion mode that Fraser Brown enjoyed so much the first time. The replace additionally provides the brand new Port-a-Fort merchandise, just a little grenade which in some way comprises a three-storey metallic fort that’ll pop up out of nowhere. But it spells an finish to gamers biking by shotguns for ridiculous burst injury, as there’s now a small delay on switching weapons. A replay system is in now too, so you may relive former glories.
“The 50 vs. 50 mode seems to finally understand what Fortnite is,” Fraser stated. “It’s too playful to try and match miserable and brutal Plunkbat.” And so, 50-strong silliness. As the patch notes clarify, it’s just a little tweaked this time.
The new Port-a-Forts aren’t meant to be a alternative for constructing, as they’re discovered with Epic rarity and are consumed upon use. They would possibly assist out in a pinch however, in the event you’re combating the essential Fortnite talent of panic-constructing a shanty mansion round you, you’ll nonetheless need to work on bettering.
As for the weapon delay, that’s meant to struggle the issue of gamers lining up shotguns of their stock then unexpectedly switching between them after one shot to blast out lethal injury far faster than was potential with only one. Adding weapon delay to a recreation which didn’t have it could make a recreation really feel sluggish, and I wouldn’t be too stunned if Epic preserve tweaking the timing of this over future updates.
Fortnite Battle Royale is free-to-play through Epic’s client.
