No More Building in Fortnite; Revolutionary Changes in New Season

Another season has begun in Fortnite. Many changes have been made to the game, notable among which is the removal of the ability to build.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • A new season has launched in Fortnite;
  • The build option disappeared from the game - it was replaced by new overlays;
  • New characters and gear have also been added to the game.

Yesterday marked the start of season two of chapter three in Fortnite. It introduced to the game a lot of news and changes, some of which may seem really revolutionary. For example, the ability to build was temporarily removed.

No more building barricades

Fans of erecting temporary fortifications and using buildings in battle may be quite confused after starting a new game in Fortnite - the option to build has disappeared from the game. However, players got something in return.

Each character now has three bars. In addition to the traditional health and shields, characters are now also protected by a super shield. It is now the first line of defense against enemy fire.

However, fans of traditional gameplay need not worry. These changes apply only to the basic game mode. Building in the Arena or Fortnite Competitive mode is still available.

What else in the new season?

The above changes are very noticeable, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Here are the rest of the new season's additions to the game.

  1. The default movement speed has been increased. This also applies to sprinting, during which the character is forced to hide their weapon.
  2. Characters can now climb over the edges of tall objects.
  3. Running or sliding into doors will instantly break them down.
  4. Rebel and UR forces have received powerful vehicles - armored combat bus, UR airship, and UR Titan tank.
  5. Two new weapons have appeared - a combat machine pistol and a burst-firing rifle.
  6. Many weapons known from previous seasons returned to the game. They have been properly rebalanced.
  7. Six new characters have been introduced. They are: Doctor Strange, Tsuki 2.0, Gunnar, Delusion, Kiara K.O., Origin and Erisa. Prowler will also be added to the game at a later date.

In addition, the game has received changes in the balance. This also applies to tournament modes. Detailed information about all the new features can be found on the official website of Fortnite.
