Fortnite Chapter 2: 8 Biggest New Changes

4. Offer Your Squad A Pick-Me-Up

Another new addition is the ability to pick up and carry knocked players. This is good news for when squadmates get knocked out when the storm is moving in.

Rather than having to stop and revive them whilst the circle moves in ahead of you, you can now pick up your fallen friends and run to safety with them. Their health does still deplete while you're carrying them, however, so you will have to put them down and revive them eventually.

You can also pick up knocked enemies - handy for moving them out of easy reach of their squadmates, especially since there's an option to yeet them off into the distance (and yes, the game itself labels this action as a Yeet).

This also offers an opportunity to set up traps for enemy teams - for example, by moving their fallen comrades into the open to entice them out of cover.

Of course, this is also probably going to turn into a way of trolling solitary players - try playing a game of catch with your vanquished foes before yeeting them off a ramp to eliminate them.
