Major Changes to Movement in Fortnite

Sure thing, buckle up for a bit of a ride here. Let me take a whack at this:

—

Alright, so here’s the lowdown, hot off the press… well, not really, more like fresh off the internet streets because, who reads papers anymore? So, Fortnite, right? They just went and pulled the plug on Wall Kicks and Roll Landings in all their official modes. Like, poof, gone. If you’re doing your thing in the Creative modes though, no worries, you’re still good. Anyway—wait, did I mention it’s tied to this big Star Wars season they’ve got going? Galactic Battle or something. Pretty epic, pun kind of intended.

Now, about this Galactic Battle thing. The Jedi are back in town with these lightsabers, which, I gotta say, make the game feel just a smidge more magical. Flying X-Wings and Tie Fighters! I’m not even that into Star Wars and even I think that’s wild. Plus, they’re throwing in some skins of characters—Mace Windu and even someone called Darth Jar Jar? Is that a thing? Feels like I missed the memo on that one.

Oh, but here’s a kicker. No lightsaber pickaxe. Yeah, fans are less than thrilled about that. I mean, who wouldn’t want to hack away at things with a lightsaber pickaxe? Sounds like a missed opportunity, if you ask me.

Anyway, back to this no more Wall Kicks and Roll Landings deal. Twitter had a field day, as one does. Some folks felt relieved—probably the ones who like things less chaotic. Others are like, “Hey, Zero Build mode needs these for some zing.” You know how it goes, different strokes for different folks. Oh, and regardless of all that, creative peeps are just breezing through without worry.

Epic’s known for, shall we say, listening to their cattle—I mean, community. So maybe they’ll pull a 180 and we’ll see another flip of the switch sometime? But, seriously, if you play, you probably just shrug and adapt. That’s the Fortnite way, isn’t it?

And that’s that. The Star Wars season is actually being embraced with open arms, minus a few grumbles here and there. Let’s keep hoping for that lightsaber pickaxe, though. Fingers crossed, or whatever Jedi do.
