Are you upset, happy, or ignorant about last week’s move to disable friendly fire in Fortnite? While griefers are probably sobbing into their Wheaties over it, the devs hope that it will impact the game for the better.
Lead Systems Designer Eric Williamson explained why the team thought that this change had to happen: “We made this change to reduce the amount of intentional team killing that’s possible. We’re keeping an eye on how it affects folks across the skill spectrum, and we’ll continue to evaluate.”
In addition to talking about the friendly fire issue, the team’s last two dev updates discussed a new map exploit that was hotfixed, battle pass bonuses, global inventory, player movement, and player stamina. Give them a watch after the break!
