The Enhanced Twinfire Auto Shotgun might be the only shotgun featured so far in Chapter 6 Season 2 that stands a chance against melee weapons. The damage for a fully automatic shotgun is pretty decent here, meaning players can hold the button and aim for the head at close range while other opponents punch, kick, and smack with their melee weap
Chapter 3 of Fortnite opened with the player character being drifted onto a smaller island of the new map, trudging along until they are greeted by the Foundation, who is with a group of other loopers. He tells the player that they will find a way to “break the loop,” which has been a recurring theme since Chapter 1. The camera then pans over to the brand new map, which features about four main biomes: a snowy tundra, the usual grassy forest, a desert, and an archipelago which seems to be where the Foundation and his buddies l
Fortnite Chapter 2 ended with the Cube Queen opening up an Avengers -like portal to space which brought about UFOs from previous seasons. As the Cube Queen unleashed chaos with aliens, Sideways monsters, and cubes, the players, also known as “loopers” in the cinematics, were saved by Jonesy and the Foundation, who was revealed to be played by actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson . At the end of the cinematic, the bunker the players have to hunker down in is flooded, causing everyone to rush out into the open ocean and witness a cinematically beautiful shot of the island being flipped upside down. As the player is stranded at sea, the portal to space closes, leaving a couple of UFOs behind, and the Cube Queen is defeated, revealing the new map as the other side of the isl
The biggest boon from Unreal Engine 5 is most likely all development-focused, but it allows for slg Game Heroes designers to create ideas like Fortnite ‘s new smooth Marvel-esque web-slinging more efficiently, leading to better experiences. Already, the new map for Fortnite: Chapter 3 seems to be taking advantage of many of the higher-quality resolutions and open-world possibilities. The game’s consistent update strategy and integration of popular IPs require a quick turnover time. The new engine could allow for more major overhauls to maps and better performance for creative m
One of the biggest reveals of Chapter 2 Season 8’s live event was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being shown as the voice actor for the Foundation, a prominent character in Chapter 1 and 2’s cinematics. The Foundation is a special skin that can be unlocked separately from the battle pass. There is no way to unlock the titular character, with his release date being February 3, 2022. There seems to be both a helmet and no helmet style for the skin, as w
A single headshot still won’t instantly kill an opponent , and while having three rounds is the perfect support for those who aren’t going to hit every shot, the toggle zoom can often be unreliable when it comes to each bullet, as bullet drop will interfere with the target z
For CPU processing, Unreal Engine 5 now lets developers create games that can take advantage of up to 64 cores. More processing power usually equates to higher frame rates, but not significantly so for Fortnite specifically. This change will not be worth it for all but the most dedicated players due to the prohibitive price of CPU cores, but it is worth mentioning as it still lets Fortnite and all Chapter 3’s new updates run at even higher performance when working in creative m
Epic also added a brand new first-person ADS rifle in Chapter 3 , as well as a brand new arsenal of weapons. Known as the MK-Seven, this assault rifle is a beast to use in-game, with the sights going into first-person POV when being aimed down. This is very similar to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, which has had this kind of mechanic since day one. It will be exciting to see Fornite add more weapons similar to the MK-Seven, as it can be a game-changer in com
Arachne and Spider Knight are part of the Arachnid set. Arachnophobia fans, beware of this dark set that can be purchased from the shop as it appears. Players may also want to purchase the matching Web Breaker pickaxe and Hatchling gli
Of course, there is more than just engine quality that goes into the creation of the game. At the end of the day, Unreal Engine is still a tool and there can still be user error, real-life setbacks, and creative miscalculations that can result in poor performance or a worse play experience. However, the future does look bright as Fortnite continues to improve and get updated years after its release. Unreal 5 won’t trample on the original art direction or gameplay, the improvements to the engine will make **Fortnite ** an even more polished experie
Another new mechanic that has not technically been released yet is web-swinging. With Spider-Man crossing over onto Fortnite this season, Epic has added new web-shooters into the game. This item can only be used in Arena mode for now, and will most likely be released in every game mode by the time Spider-Man: No Way Home releases. Fortnite ‘s web-swinging has been widely praised by fans, even being compared to web-swinging in games like Marvel’s Avenge
