Fortnite is about to really change in terms of the movement system.
It turns out that adding a slide to Fortnite was just the beginning of the mechanics changes related to movement. According to leakers, there are several similar things in the pipeline, some of which still haven’t been identified.
Update 19.20 is truly groundbreaking. We learned that Epic plans to introduce tanks, the concept of adding vehicle modifications has been reverted, and now it is confirmed that developers are working on changes that add mobility.
What will change?
Summarizing the movement-related leaks, the following will be added:
- tactical sprint,
- something called “Clamber” which is possibly a parkour or climbing mechanic.
The tactical sprint is supposed to be something like a slide but works differently and in different circumstances. “Clamber” is a different pair of wellies. It is speculated that Epic will somehow want to give players the ability to climb buildings, jump over walls, etc.
However, it is not known when the new mechanics will come to the game. The Tactical Sprint is nearly ready to be introduced, there’s just no animation. “Clamber” is at an early stage of design.
