Fortnite: Battle Royale Updates
The popular game, Fortnite: Battle Royale, continues to receive updates and changes as Epic Games actively develops the early access title. In a recent state of development blog, the company provided insights into upcoming changes regarding shotguns and buildings, two hotly debated topics in the game’s meta.
Shotgun Adjustments
Epic Games acknowledged the various strategies players have adopted over the past few months, such as the “double pump” technique and the rise in SMG usage. To address this, the company plans to evaluate and make adjustments to ensure that different weapons have their intended strengths and weaknesses. Specifically, Epic wants to reassess the equip time for shotguns, focusing on improving the pump shotgun’s speed. Other shotguns will also be evaluated for potential improvements in the future.
Building Changes
Changes to building mechanics are an ongoing process. Recent adjustments were made to the health of all materials to encourage more tactical decision making. However, Epic Games emphasizes that this is not the end of building changes. The company will continue to evaluate and make modifications, especially regarding circle behavior and the interaction of player-built structures with the storm in the final circles.
Dedication to Listening and Improving
Fortnite may have many iterations, but one thing remains constant: Epic Games’ dedication to listening to player feedback and swiftly implementing changes. As the game evolves, Epic continues to prioritize player satisfaction and strives to create a balanced and engaging experience.
