Fortnite’s Chapter 3, Season 2 update has (temporarily) removed the battle royale’s building mechanic, and the gimmick has quickly divided the game’s fanbase.
For those who may not know, Fortnite‘s gameplay has long been defined by the ability to collect resources and use them to build massive defensive structures that also allow them to cover great distances. It’s hard to remember now, but there was a time when many people saw Fortnite: Save the World’s battle royale spin-off as a shameless attempt to cash in on an emerging trend. While the game’s cartoonish graphics and faster-paced combat certainly helped set it apart from something like Pubg, it was ultimately that building system that separated Fortnite from a considerable pack of contenders.
While Fortnite’s building mechanics have come to define the absurdly popular game in many ways, it hasn’t always been the title’s most popular feature.
