10 Ways Call Of Duty Blackout Is Better Than Fortnite
6. Grappling Hook
What game isn't made better by grappling hooks?!
Well the folks over at Treyarch clearly had this in mind when designing Black Ops IIII, because the grappling hook is a bit of a game changer. Well, it would be, if it weren't that Epic Games introduced one into Fortnite earlier this month. That must have hurt Treyarch.
As is the overall case with the games though, Fortnite's grapple gun is a little more cartoonish, while COD's is a more versatile tool. It adds a whole new dynamic to the game, and it's there from day one, so players will incorporate it into their play-style.
Also, being first-person makes it significantly easier to run, grapple, and gun.
On top of all this, Blackout's map is far more dynamic. While Fortnite is rather flat and one-note, Blackout's map has some very different terrain with some really tall structures, which the grappling gun is perfect for scaling. While it feels like a quirky addition to Fortnite, the grappling hook feels essential to the Blackout experience. And did we mention the wingsuit? Yeah, there's a wingsuit too.
