Fortnite Zero Build makes the game better for everyone

digitaltrends.com:

Fortnite recently added an all-new game playlist that strips the game of what many saw as its core mechanic: Building. That addition came as a bit of a shock, especially if you’re used to seeing clips of players constructing two-story mansions in an instant. While clips like that have always turned heads, they’ve also made the game daunting for casual players who don’t have building skills.

The game quite literally forced players to work around the feature or master it to truly get enjoyment out of the game. That is until Epic made one of the best decisions possible and made a mode for “the big kids” that just want to keep things between you, me, and my guns. That’s made the game better for all players, casual and diehard alike.

When Fortnite‘s Zero Build mode launched, it received a lot of fanfare from players. While most of the buzz came from casuals who couldn’t keep up with the high-skill build meta, there was surprising hype from pro players. Fortnite diehards like Upshall Games and Ninja have praised the new mode and play it almost exclusively now. Epic managed to make everyone happy with a revelatory addition — one that’s left players wondering just why the heck a mode like this wasn’t included in the game in the first place.

Fortnite with no building > most fun I’ve had on Fortnite in YEARS.

It’s a little mind-blowing that the game now feels more welcoming
