With how popular Zero Build Mode has proven to be (as shown above via Gamesight ), and how many problems building has in Fortnite , it might seem strange for Epic Games to keep it around. However, despite its faults, it’s still popular; some players enjoy building massive structures during their battle royale matches. Displeasing half the player base for one of its most successful games most likely wouldn’t be a good move for Epic, so from a business standpoint, it makes sense. It’s not likely that a Fortnite 2 would be made due to the nature of the Battle Pass system, so the company needs to keep Fortnite players happy if it wants to keep making money. Pleasing those who don’t like building is also just as important. Whether it brought it back or did away with it for good, it wouldn’t be fair to those who preferred one or the other. Zero Build Mode lets Fortnite be the best of both worlds by giving players options, in the same manner that the solo, duo, and team modes
Pro Fortnite players can build incredibly fast , but the same can’t be said of everyone. Building is also a problem because casual players and those new to the game often struggle with it, which puts them at a marked disadvantage compared to experts. There’s not much they can do against someone who can make a gigantic structure within seconds to provide nigh-impenetrable cover, or to trap them and shoot them like fish in a barrel. Building is more than a little complicated, often requiring split-second decisions and a quick mouse hand. It can put newer players off and is a skill best evolved through lots of repeated practice, serving almost as a form of gatekeeping for those who just want to have fun in a battle royale instead of having to construct massive structures on the fly in their pursuit of a coveted
Another reason is that building is a core part of Fortnite . Even if it’s problematic, it helps it stand out from the crowd. Without it, the game isn’t fundamentally too different from titles like Apex Legends or PUBG: Battlegrounds . The many crossovers that Fortnite 's become known for get boring after a while, and might not be enough to preserve the game’s popularity if it starts to fade due to the resulting lack of individuality that permanently removing building could bring. Fortnite Summer Event 2025 may be one of the most popular – if not the most popular – battle royale game there is, but if it lost a part of what helped it rise to stardom in the first place, then it could suffer for it, and Epic Games likely knew t
Additionally, the Battle Pass comes with a variety of other incentives, like Epic original characters and even an action-figure-style character alongside specific accessories players have the ability to unlock the more they play. Between the more well-known heroes and villains and the new characters players have a chance to learn more about, fans are definitely excited to dive dee
Featuring a lively TARDIS team of the Twelfth Doctor, Bill, and Nardole, season 10 promised a bold new beginning for Doctor Who upon its debut in 2017. Fortnite’s __ Doctor Who loading screen includes a neat call-back to this beloved series, which recreates one of its most famous promotional ima
The game upon release has stated that eventually, it will release on the Nintendo Switch however as of now that is not the case. Instead, it is available to play only on the Playstation, PC, iOS, and Android. Crossplay and progression travel between these devices making it easy to play wherever and whene
Taking out building also put a stronger emphasis on combat. Without all the material gathering and battlefield control, players could focus on shooting each other to pieces, which is what the game was supposed to be like in the first place. Vehicles also had a bigger role, like the jetpack Fortnite reintroduced in Chapter 3 Season 2 . The game’s many guns and explosives were already a focal point, but they can truly shine without the building features. Although sniping can still remove players from combat somewhat, it’s not too much of an issue. Tactics also became more important since players couldn’t just build a giant metal fort anywhere they were anymore, leading to professional players coming up with creative new ways to play, and newer and casual ones having an easier t
There also isn’t much reason not to at least have building as an option, especially since it’s such a big part of the game’s identity. It’s vaulted a lot of good weapons and features, like the Sticky Grenades, so it doesn’t need to get rid of something that helped it become the game that it is today. Fortnite could outlast other battle royale games for a long time if it does things right, so it needs to be careful with its permanent changes. Getting rid of building forever doesn’t seem like it would do the game much good in the long run, and if it hadn’t introduced Zero Build Mode, then players may have ended up demanding that **Fortnite ** return its signature feature eventua
