While there’s no denying PUBG has been staggeringly successful on PC, Fortnite hasn’t been a slouch either, especially in the console space where it boasts 45M players with 3M cocurrent. Now, Fortnite is getting its big 3.0 update that’s set to improve building mechanics in a number of ways. Arguably the biggest new feature will be Turbo Building, which allows players to continuously build structures by holding down the right trigger instead of having to constantly press it. This is something people are used to with Minecraft or Dragon Quest Builders, but it will be especially helpful when you need to protect yourself from enemy fire.
Also coming is an “Automatic Material Swapping” option that automatically switches to another material when you run out of one. Players will also be able to build through large objects like trees, rocks, and vehicles. Lastly, the netcode has been altered so that switching between different structures is quicker.
Today’s update also adds a 60fps mode, the Season 3 Battle Pass, and the new Hand Cannon weapon to Battle Royale mode, while the Save the World mode gets a new orchestral music score and a hoverboard.
