Fortnite 2 Season 3 - 10 Tweaks It NEEDS To Stay On Top

Fortnite remains one of, if not the most popular game in the world. Free-to-play and plastered with colourful graphics, quirky silliness and high intensity gameplay, this battle royale phenomenon has the kind of mass appeal that most gaming companies can only dream of.

That being said, with success comes competition and there’s no short supply of rivals vying to step into the spotlight.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds and Riot Game’s new approach to the genre, Valorant, are just two entries that have taken bite-sized chunks out of Epic’s userbase. However, as FPS titans Activision weigh in with Call of Duty: Warzone, pressure on Epic to keep Fortnite top of the pile has never been greater.

On that note, the advent of Fortnite’s inaugural second chapter brought a new, larger map, bundled with a whole host of new challenges, weapons and storylines. However, true to form, it also came part-in-parcel with issues new and old.

So, as we approach the end of Chapter Two’s second season, what issues do Epic need to address to keep their users happy, and tighten their grip on the most ferociously contested gaming genre in a generation?

Feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments below as we take a look.

Since its inception, Fortnite has had hackers. This isn’t uncommon, I hasten to add. All games attract cheats but when the desire for an unfair advantage steps out of your own game and into an arena filled with other live players, it becomes morally wrong.

Over the years countless hackers have been exposed on Fortnite, utilising aim hacks that make it impossible to miss, wall hacks that enable the user to shoot through solid objects or even super speed. Such is their variety that it’s entirely possible many of the issues covered in this article are a consequence of hacking.

In light of this, Epic have increased efforts to deal with the problem, issuing lifetime bans to those caught utilising hacks and taking other preventative measures to boot. Unfortunately, though, many do still slip through the net.

The reason for this is that deciphering a hack from a glitch can be an impossible job. Oftentimes a player won’t even know that they’ve experienced one, assigning the blame to a bug or poor gameplay. While this is a complex matter, if Epic are able to iron out the majority of Fortnite’s glitches, then recognising a hack would become much simpler.
