Frome Mace Windu to Obi-Wan Kenobi, a variety of unique yet instantly recognizable lightsabers could be found across the island. Lightsabers could be used to deal melee damage, block oncoming fire, and even be thrown for long-range attacks - all of which led to some incredibly tense duels between fans, helping them relive old memories while creating new o

Not helping matters is the fact that the new abilities added in Chapter 3, Season 2 are for the most part rather generic abilities. Sprinting is a mechanic that is in virtually any shooter, although it is admittedly a surprise that Fortnite went for so long without a sprint function. Likewise, the overshield is quite similar to the regenerating health that appears in several mainstream shooters, most notably the Halo franchise. In swapping out building for these other mechanics, Fortnite 's gameplay is a little less distinctive than it used to

Of course, there is no way that building is gone from Fortnite forever. Not only is it a crucial part of the game, but the start of the seasons even has a questline centered on trying to find a way to bring back building. In addition, if the player presses the button to build, they are informed that building is currently unavailable, rather than the button being deactivated completely. Not to mention, a Fortnite leaker revealed a limited no-build mode a few months back. All of these clues combined make it easy to realize that in due time, building will return to Fortn

It cannot be overstated how iconic building is for Fortnite . It is one of the game's most famous and advertised features, and pro players in Fortnite can build with astonishing speed. With the season opening without building, Fortnite is missing a piece of its identity. It may not be on the same level as a Mario game without jumping, or a Sonic game without running, but it is still a major change that will take some time to get used

Debuting as part of Fortnite's very first crossover, the Infinity Gauntlet would land upon the Fortnite Island at the beginning of each match and mark itself on the map, giving every player the equal opportunity to gain the unrivaled power of the Mad Titan himself, Tha

Upon release, there were next to no multiplayer features and its gameplay was incredibly monotonous with little variation in the types of planets to explore. With its $60 price tag, gamers felt they were cheated and lied to when they finally got to play the game they had been eagerly anticipating, and, as such, it became hated very quickly. Since then, however, the developers have made huge updates to the game that have greatly improved its gameplay, but gamers won't soon forget its disastrous rele

Finally, for the bonus skin of this season, Indiana Jones is finally making his debut in Fortnite . With even a reference to one of the movies shown in the back bling - Expedition Back Pack. This little easter egg features a golden Tomato, with reference to the Raiders of the Lost Arc movie, when our favorite explorer swipes the Golden Idol from the podium and is then chased out of the tomb by a giant boul

The new mechanics introduced to Fortnite at this season's start are sprinting, mantling, and overshield. All of these are simple to explain and perform. Sprinting will let players run more quickly in short bursts, mantling lets players jump and climb onto ledges, and overshield is essentially a regenerating shield that absorbs up to 50 extra damage. These new skills, like Fortnite Season 6's mechanical and primal weapons , are another example of the innovations Epic continues to apply to the game All of these are explained in a tutorial that activates upon a player's first game this season, as well as the sliding mechanic that was added last season. Although these mechanics are not complicated, the tutorial helps to introduce them to players and ease them into the new gamep

In addition to the bouncy slurp mushrooms players can bounce on to acquire additional shield, players have recently discovered a new and more interesting way to gather some of the best loot. Much like the tents, players can plant Reality Seeds and claim their own special-looking pl

Jonah Hex can also go up against Batman in Fortnite , mirroring one of the character design Evolution's most popular comic book storylines. Titled Hex , the limited series saw Jonah Hex being pulled into the 21st Century. Eventually, he is hired by a criminal gang to hunt down Batman, before the two realized they were on the same side. Jonah Hex is also a perfect fit for Fortnite's shooter gameplay. As a bounty hunter and former soldier, Jonah Hex would be able to easily familiarize himself with Fortnite 's wide array of firearms. This could help Jonah Hex to feel like a more natural fit within the game than characters such as Superman and Wonder Woman, who wouldn't use the weapons that Fortnite off
