Fortnite is back in the spotlight after its recent LTM removed the ability for players to build, instead adding a sprint meter, overshield, and more changes to the core mechanics of the game. Most Fortnite veterans have hardened their ability to out-build and outmaneuver their enemies, but removing building has players developing entirely new strategies. It's truly no longer safe to be caught out in the open, as a lack of cover will spell certain doom.
However, Fortnite does add more key mechanics besides just removing building and being done with it. There is now a new sprint meter, which has players running at blistering speeds for brief periods. There is also an overshield, which allows players to have a buffer of 50 shield that will regenerate over time, so it gives players bonus time to get to cover.

So getting good positioning in the final circle can make winning that final battle much easier, especially with Fortnite's returning drum shotgun.
