Fortnite has released an update that improves movement speed and addresses recent divisive changes, while also acknowledging fan feedback on the Locker UI and promising improvements in future updates. The movement changes, which slowed down key mechanics, were met with mixed reactions from players. The devs are actively working on improving the design of the Locker UI, which has created grouping and selection issues. The next update is planned for early 2024.
Fortnite has released the v28.01.01 update, featuring significant movement improvements, bug fixes, and changes to various game modes. The update includes increased crouch and run speeds, reduced camera movement when sprinting, and refined view-switching for a smoother experience. Bug fixes address issues with medallion icons, dark spots on the map, weapon damage, and shield regeneration. Changes to game modes include improvements to Rocket Racing and fixes for LEGO Fortnite.
Fortnite Chapter 5 has introduced significant movement changes, altering the gameplay experience. Epic Games has acknowledged player feedback regarding the movement alterations and aims to introduce visual improvements and encourage strategic decision-making. The team is listening to player feedback and hopes that the changes will feel more natural over time. In addition to movement changes, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 brings a new island, ballistic shield, weapon mods, and a fresh battle pass. Exciting collaborations with LEGO, an arcade racer, and a Rock Band successor are also on the horizon, with a possible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover.
The Season 5 update for Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 brings movement changes to make the games feel faster and more fluid. These changes include decreased slide time, increased slide velocity, the ability to fire sooner after sliding, a small increase in lateral velocity boost while jumping, and a reduction in landing slowdown penalty. These updates aim to address player complaints about the game feeling slow and should make movement during gameplay faster and smoother.
The Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 Reloaded update has introduced movement changes to make traversal smoother and TTK changes to increase close-range combat viability. The update has reduced camera movement while walking and sprinting, decreased weapon raise delay following parachute landing by 30%, increased initial sliding acceleration by 6%, and increased the height threshold for single-handed mantling. The TTK changes have added a "Maximum Armor Damage" stat to main weapon categories, limiting how quickly a weapon can deplete a player's armor, and buffed minimum armor damage for SMGs and handguns, increasing their viability at longer ranges.
