Fortnite Battle Royale will return to a extra typical expertise as soon as the present Simpsons mini-season ends on the finish of November, in response to a weblog posted on the Fortnite Status Twitter account, with the sport slated to return to 100-player rounds and a a lot roomier island.
The launch of Fortnite’s Simpsons-themed mini-season originally of November launched some dramatic modifications to the rhythm of Battle Royale matches, thanks largely to the scale of the map. The brand new Springfield island covers about half the land space that the Chapter 6 island did, with the mode quickly supporting 80 gamers as a substitute of 100. That is made the island terribly dense with gamers, and it has been robust to land in any named location at first of a match with out bumping into an opponent attempting to seize the identical chest you are going for.
The weblog stated that basic shift within the stream of matches was an experiment.
“This is one thing totally different: this season’s BR is 80 gamers as a substitute of 100 on the extra compact map. The vibe thus far? Sooner rotations, extra significant fights, and fewer time operating throughout empty fields. That is an experiment–we plan to return to 100 gamers subsequent season–but we needed to see what occurs after we focus the motion.”
That wasn’t the one huge piece of reports we received from this weblog. For this Saturday and Sunday solely, Epic is including two Simpsons-themed weapons–the Deodorant Applicator, and Bart’s Slingshot–to the Battle Royale loot pool. That is one other uncommon factor Epic is attempting throughout this mini-season, as the corporate debuted these weapons final weekend in Delulu mode.
Fortnite’s Simpsons season is stay till November 29, when Chapter 7 will start.
