During this event, at the beginning of each match, the Infinity Gauntlet would drop somewhere on the map, and any player who grabbed it transformed into Thanos and had the full abilities of all six stones of the Gauntlet. This event was hugely praised, as at the time, no official Avengers game had been released, so the ability to play as a Marvel character, and a huge one at that, was incredible. Players now had a new objective - take down the mad titan, making the event one of the most memorable and exciting ones ever to release in Fortni

When it comes to shaping the X-Men team, no one (save perhaps Charles Xavier) has been as influential as Cyclops. As the first member of the X-Men and its longest-serving member, Cyclops has gone from being a scared student who couldn't control his mutant ability, to a confidant leader and master tactician. Cyclops has spent his life fighting tirelessly for mutant kind, with many regarding him as the ultimate X-

In the PS5 tech demos, Unreal Engine 5 has a unique way of generating worlds that’s different from other engines - most of the time, when games load maps, they have to load a full section to a user’s RAM and then process where the character is on that map to render their surroundings. This can cause pop-in and generally make load times slower as the system has to keep the world loaded but also delete it entirely when moving to a different section of the level. The new world partition system now being utilized in games allow developers to create larger worlds that load procedurally based on what the player can see. All this is done by the engine itself and doesn’t incur a huge performance dip when consistently loading these smaller ar

While this weapon does rely strictly on close-quarter-combat, it’s still a decent enough weapon to hold as a backup gun, but it shouldn’t be used for the majority of engagements, especially when such powerful melee weapons will negate the effects of a slow-firing and hard-hitting shot

The MK-Seven Assault Rifle is the best addition to the game so far for this third chapter. The new aiming mechanics for this weapon make it extremely deadly for ranged attacks and allow for better accur

While the default Mammoth Pistol can only fire one shot per reload, the Baron’s variant fires two. This might sound like a grand enhancement, but in reality, the Mammoth Pistol isn’t all that great to begin with. It’s a weapon with an absurdly high kick and reload speed, so firing and missing is going to see the player holding the gun as a vulnerable target against faster-firing weap

The graphical rendering in Unreal 5 allows the game to run on a more versatile set of PCs than before. Even players who already have a PC that can run Fortnite will benefit from the upgrades to how Unreal Engine 5 works with GPUs. The new engine improves over Unreal Engine 4 by working with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs to use temporal super-resolution, which upscales 1080p pictures into high-fidelity 4k - meaning the Switch version of Fortnite could use Nintendo's new 4k-supported dock and rumored revis

The Enhanced Holo Twister Assault Rifle is perhaps the best AR in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 for a multitude of reasons. Not only are its stats the highest of the Holo Twister variants, but the fact that players can use hitscan and scope to really annihilate players, along with a faster ADS time, makes it reliable and dea

Limited-time events usually happen a few times each season and are often related to big pop-culture crossovers, like Avengers: Endgame , or real-life celebrations, such as Halloween. They bring new challenges, rewards, temporary map changes, and exciting new game mechanics for all players to enjoy, which keep the battle royale giant fresh and

The biggest boon from Unreal Engine 5 is most likely all development-focused, but it allows for game designers to create ideas like Fortnite 's new smooth Marvel-esque web-slinging more efficiently, leading to better experiences. Already, the new map for Fortnite: Chapter 3 seems to be taking advantage of many of the higher-quality resolutions and open-world possibilities. The game's consistent update strategy and integration of popular IPs require a quick turnover time. The new engine could allow for more major overhauls to maps and better performance for creative m

While the Lumen and Nanite systems integrated into Unreal Engine 5 are more for development than for gamers, it still improves the play experience of Fortnite . One of the defining features of the game is its continually-changing world map, and the upgrades to lighting and texturing could let the team modify the existing content quicker. On top of also allowing for better dynamic lighting, the new systems allow for larger worlds with consistently high detailing, meaning that expanding the world of Fortnite gameplay with events like Winterfest and unique concerts could be easier than e
