Epic Wants to Change the Fortnite Endgame

The Fortnite endgame has problems. You know it and Epic Games knows it. Fortnite Battle Royale continues to take over the entire planet, attracting players on various platforms and myriad skill levels. It might be the most popular game in the world but if you’ve played any amount of Fortnite then you know how it usually ends: with shotguns and the few remaining players desperately trying to build barriers to hide behind.

Epic knows that, having made changes to address the issue, and plans to keep making more.

In a new blog post, Epic Games talked about how Fortnite is constantly evolving by design, and part of that design, in addition to adding new content, is supporting multiple kinds of play styles. That means endgame viability, and that’s exactly what’s on the menu here. In bold typeface, Epic states, “we strongly believe that the evolution of Fortnite supports a wide range of play styles and counterplay.” Epic specifically points to shotguns, rocket launchers, and tower-building as problems.

The interesting thing is they are planning to implement at least some of these changes ‘over the next few weeks’, which means Fortnite could be a substantially different experience within just a month or so.

P.S.  Basically, we all want to see people get wins in different ways, not just firing volleys across towers.
