Additional armor will appear in Fortnite, in addition to the standard one. Breakthrough when it comes to HP?

Fortnite

It looks like Epic is going to use its idea, which was introduced in the Chinese version of the game.


Fortnite in China did not do well. Due to various regulations, players were forced to either agree to the lack of V-Bucks and specific mechanics or switch to the international version using a VPN.

Currently, leakers report that the developers will probably move one of the mechanics known in the Chinese version of the game to the “normal” one. It’s all about extra HP, something in addition to the standard health bar and armor.

One more HP?

According to HYPEX, something will be introduced to Fortnite, which is now called “Tactical Overshield”. From the name itself, it can be concluded that this is some additional armor over the standard one.

From the following description, we learn that in fact, it will be additional HP or some protection in addition to HP and armor. At this point, however, it is not known how exactly this is supposed to work.

The additional HP, however, is something that brings to mind the Chinese version of Fortnite. There was an extra life or rather protection. It’s just that it was strictly about the storm. So you had a normal health bar, armor, and one more storm protection indicator – this only dropped when you were in a storm, only after getting it to zero you lost HP.

In the leak, there is nothing said about the storm, so it is rather a completely different mechanic, although it is possible that it will somehow use the solutions that were dedicated to the Chinese version of the game.
