Fortniteis an ever-changing, ever-growing beast.
From Augments, to Mega City, and beyond!
Miss - What happened to Hurdling?
A new movement mechanic came with Chapter 4s arrival in the form of Hurdling.
Players could sprint towards waist-high obstacles to automatically leap over them.
Perhaps Chapter 5 might be a good testbed for Hurdling?
Only time will tell.
Hit - Augments changed the game
Chapter 4 brought one of many changes to the fundamentals ofFortnite.
Augments were a risky bet, but Id say they paid off in the end.
Throughout matches, players could activate four Augments that would provide bonuses and tradeoffs.
This, of course, marked the arrival ofFortnites largest POI yet, the towering MEGA City.
Promotional material teased skyscrapers, dark, moody streets, and neon-drenched corridors to move through.
Not to mention how bland it all looked in the daytime.
Still, the grind rails were cool, at least.
The Kinetic Blade provided a rare case of a movement update truly feeling balanced.
It was later bolstered by Augments, before being tweaked slightly for the Halloween event.
Possibly the biggest highlight ofFortniteMEGA as a whole.
Ubisoft, Frontier, Bungie, Media Molecule, and then Epic Games all announced layoffs.
Only then could the smash-and-grab heist take place, resulting in an alarm-blaring dash to escape the compound.
Rather predictably, this has not gone down well with the community,forcing Epic to reconsider the changes.
Planes were added in, as were new POIs like Loot Lakes floating island.
Thankfully, Ill probably never have to slide through the muddy bogs of Creaky Compound again.
I truly hope not, at least.
So there you have it, those are Fortnite Chapter 4s biggest hits and misses.
