INSANE!
Plus there's devices that can bring the heat like gas cans, gas pumps and the primal flame bow! All these things paired with the update we got two weeks ago is sure to ignite the inspiration for creatives everywhere!
Let's Take a Look at Some of the Highlights From This Update!
SKYDIVE VOLUME
Ever imagined how Fortnite created those amazing featured experiences? From the Ariana Grande music show feature to Travis Scott? It all revolves around the SKYDIVE VOLUME device! And I have to tell you, aside from the player counter device, which was released two weeks ago, this device is going to open up an entire new Fortnite Creative game mode! Players are able to take flight into the air, or even sky dive - for eternity - lol, if you so prefer! You can create an air obstacle course like that of a Loo Game. Or even use it for story transitions, elevators, or wind tunnels! Creating a city in the sky? No problem! Players can travel from the underworld to the heavens with this device! Hmm, when I think about it, that would make an awesome gun game mode! (woops, I just gave you a map idea, lol!) No matter what you do, you have a ton of options! Go for it!
AI SPAWN LIMIT (BETA)
Creators have been asking for this feature for quite some time and its great to see that it is currently being tested! It states in the update that players will be able to spawn up to 30 fiends and wildlife animals compared to the previous 20! Since it is in beta, you may not be able to have access to it just yet. In the article it states verbatim:
"We’ll be monitoring performance impact and may increase or decrease that limit depending on the results." - Epic Games
So you may not see it roll out your way for some time!
CHANNEL NUMBER TEXT ENTRY
This is one of the best updates thus far, well at least I feel so. Those days of scrolling, scrolling, scrolling are long gone! And are now optional! When a creator clicks to set a channel now, ( and if they are on playstation console) a pop up menu will open and they can then type in any channel they want! When you type and select a channel, the pop up box goes away and you then have the option to scroll to your channels just like we use to! I really like this option because before all the scrolling became a bit time consuming. This option saves us a TON of time! Plus creators who map their channels before hand, lets say in a notebook will be able to increase their efficiency practically overnight!
These are just a few of some of the awesome updates we received this week. Others include updates to the Real-time clock, map/scoreboard, and creative name tags. If you would like to read more please read the new post link here on EpicGames.com
