In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a curious new feature was implemented with the latest update. Your skins can now talk!
Lip movements for voice chat: A somewhat overlooked feature from the last patch 6.21 in Fortnite is the new lip movements of your skins. Previously, these only moved their mouths during certain emotes.
If you now use the voice chat mode in the game, the lips of your skins move somewhat in sync with it. A similar feature has been around for a while in other online games, including GTA Online and H1Z1.
Not everyone can talk
How can I make my characters speak? You just need to activate the internal voice chat of the client. Then Fortnite recognizes when you speak and translates it into lip movements.
Help, my skin does nothing! Unfortunately, the feature only works with skins that also have a real mouth. Masked skins, like the notorious cuddle officer, have huge masks or helmets on. No lip movement is visible from the outside.
What does it look like in the game? How the new speaking animations are represented in the game is shown in the video by the streamer CoolDCB, who recently discovered the speaking animation. At first, he didn’t notice it because he wore the cuddle bear skin.
However, he noticed it with his buddy, and after the costume change, he could convince himself of the new feature.
