Fortnite’s ‘no-building’ to be made permanent after massive reaction from players

Fortnite

Fortnite's no-building mode looks set to be made a permanent fixture in the game following an overwhelmingly positive response from fans. Thanks to @TweaBR, a prominent leaker within the community, a bit of data mining and digging appeared to unearth proof that the exclusive format will be staying in the game after the initial period under a new option listed as 'Solo - No Build Battle Royale'. https://twitter.com/TweaBR/status/1505995049364037642?s=20&t=zDYi6oocMoChKemrZmBb6g Another account appeared to highlight the other team-based version of the mode: https://twitter.com/Peter24739738/status/1505462745973633026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1505462745973633026%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamingbible.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fgames-fortnite-no-building-mode-to-become-permanent-following-feedback-20220324 Given that building forts is a pretty integral part of the game - hence the name - it came as somewhat of a surprise that the new mode introduced earlier this month has received such a warm reception. Well, for the most part. https://twitter.com/Lazarbeam/status/1506103612141096960?s=20&t=zDYi6oocMoChKemrZmBb6g Despite causing some backlash among fans, a portion of the playerbase thinks it's the best thing to happen to the popular battle royale in ages. Many have pointed out that while building is a huge part of the competitive edge that takes a lot of practice, the stripped-back approach to the game where the last player(s) standing win is likely to attract more casual players. Esports star Ninja, who made his name playing the third-person arena shooter, put it in no uncertain terms: https://twitter.com/Ninja/status/1506066103461634058?s=20&t=zDYi6oocMoChKemrZmBb6g Developers Epic Games surprised players with the overhaul when Chapter 3, Season 2 launched on March 20, with the game always looking to change and keep things fresh in line with its free-to-play games as a service format. Nevertheless, having taken a slight dip in its popularity with the prominence of Call of Duty: Warzone and the like, it can't be argued that Fortnite's no-building mode has ramped the game's player number back up. https://twitter.com/ChicaLive/status/1505894504527765505?s=20&t=gp2NrCRRAEKClctixjgrOA Epic are yet to confirm the plans themselves but by the looks of things, no-build mode is here to stay and play at your leisure. Which version do you prefer?
