3 things in Chapter 3 that players particularly praise
Players in Fortnite have had a few days to let the new chapter sink in. Three things stood out that have been very positively received by the community:
- Sliding
- Diversity in battles thanks to red dot sight
- Focus on community
Matches become slideshows
What does that mean? Since the new season, players can now slide after a sprint. To do this, they need to crouch after a sprint and are then able to cover certain distances quickly. Whether high mountains or steep slopes, everything is currently managed with sliding.
Furthermore, you can also shoot while sliding to surprise your opponents.
What do the players say about it? Many funny memes about sliding are being posted on Reddit, but everyone is sure in the comments that this feature has turned out very well. Comments like:
Sliding and shooting with the MK-7 is the most satisfying thing ever. […]
said Reddit user Wvaliant
Another player also says:
I need a very high mountain just to slide down it. There could be lava at the bottom, yet I would still slide all the way down.
said Reddit user Xero0911
Combing through the comments makes it clear that everyone agrees: Sliding is a cool thing.
The new favorite rifle: MK-7 Assault Rifle
What does that mean? Fortnite has put all old weapons in the vault through the new chapter and thrown new ones onto the map. Among them was a rifle that has a special feature.
While aiming, you are actually looking through the sight and are brought into first-person mode. This way, you have a more accurate targeting and receive a moderate zoom.
Since the new assault rifle came out, players are celebrating such an improvement.
What do the players say about it? On Twitter, all players agree. The new gun is incredibly good. All players comment statements “how insane” the new weapon is and how cool it is that Epic makes such a change and that they could do this with other weapons as well.
Focus on community
What does that mean? With the update, Epic wrote in the patch notes 19.00 that all actions such as reviving players, restarting teammates, or opening a vault can now be done faster collaboratively.
So if you are in a team or trio, you can revive players faster if your mates help you. This way you can become battle-ready faster and also save time. Teams that harbor lone wolves shoot themselves in the foot, as everything gets delayed.
What do the players say about it? Players celebrate such a feature and comment with statements:
Group revival is brilliant.
said Reddit user Ghost3603
The introduction of such a feature shows that players need exactly this in Fortnite. A way to support players as a team even in tricky situations and to act as support instead of soloing out is seen as a good thing.
Through such features that are team-based, Fortnite ensures a more collegial team play. Those who know the modes Teams or Trios know that often players act selfishly and thus the rest of the team suffers. With this change, players now have an incentive to act as a team and not clear the field on their own to eventually perish.
What do you think of the new 3rd chapter? Do you also think that Epic Games has implemented it well? Or are the new features annoying you? Let us know in the comments!
