In the “Save the World” mode of Fortnite, there will be several changes in the coming weeks. Alongside menu improvements, the stamina system will finally be revised – a new weapon will also come. We have the roadmap for the PvE mode for you!
In recent weeks, there has been increasing criticism from the player base that Epic is completely focusing on the Battle Royale mode and neglecting the PvE content that many players have paid for.
When Epic also announced the closure of the MOBA Paragon, many feared that the focus would now be solely on Battle Royale. This is not the case, as Epic has emphasized multiple times in recent days. Instead, they plan to invest more in the “Save the World” mode in the future.
To this end, Epic has now released a roadmap outlining the key changes to Fortnite in the coming weeks.
These are the key changes in Fortnite in the coming weeks
A new heavy pistol, changes to the stamina system, and much more have been summarized by Epic in the roadmap:
- February 19 – With the universal inventory, you can define loadouts before starting a mission. Epic had temporarily disabled this feature due to items disappearing randomly.
- February 21 (Patch 3.0.0) – A new questline “Spring it on” will be available, new items will be added to the event store, and the soundtrack will be revised with an orchestral version. Additionally, you can look forward to a new heavy pistol (Eagle), for which no further details are known yet.
- February 28 (Patch 3.1.0) – The first part of a series of revisions to the stamina system will be released. The update will also feature a new questline, new event store items, a new enemy, and a legendary defender focused on melee combat.
- March 07 (Patch 3.2.0) – With update 3.2.0, the long-awaited voice chat will be added to the PC. You can also look forward to new heroes in honor of the Chinese New Year.
The coming weeks promise many contents for the PvE mode of Fortnite. Specifically, the revision of the stamina system is eagerly awaited, as it has been criticized for months.
The stamina system in Fortnite is being revised – but how?
For almost all actions in the game, you consume stamina – endurance. Whether sprinting, melee abilities, or skills, stamina always plays a role. Since there are no ways to increase stamina, the bar is already empty after a short sprint. Skills can no longer be executed then.
This slows down the game and destroys the momentum, which is the main point of criticism. What measures Epic will specifically implement to address this issue is not known.
There are several improvement suggestions from the community:
- No stamina loss while sprinting if you are not in combat
- Stamina regenerates faster if you are not in combat
- Stamina is increased, skills do not cost a fixed number of stamina points, but a percentage
- The complete removal of stamina is also among the suggestions, which would equate to a complete overhaul of the skill system.
What Epic is planning will be revealed on February 28 at the latest when the patch notes for update 3.1.0 are released. A week earlier, a new weapon, the heavy Eagle pistol, will come – also for the Battle Royale mode?
The heavy Eagle pistol – will it also come to Battle Royale?
Since the roadmap primarily focuses on the PvE mode, the pistol will likely initially only be integrated into this mode. However, a future use in the Battle Royale part is not excluded. For example, there are also two different variations of the crossbow in the game.
There is also a revolver in the Battle Royale mode, which is rather unpopular. Will this be replaced by the new heavy pistol? We will only find out more on February 21. You will then receive the details as usual on Mein-MMO.
What do you think of the changes? How will Epic revise the stamina system?
