Fortnite Is Bringing Back an Old Feature
Fortnite, one of the most popular games in the battle royale world, is bringing back a long-desired feature that it used to have but was later removed. According to a reliable leak, Glider Releasing, or the early parachute release system, will be added to the game soon. With this feature, players will have more control during landing and will be able to reach the map much faster.
Fortnite is Testing the Glider Releasing Feature
The Glider Releasing feature will allow players to close their parachutes at any time after jumping from the Battle Bus. In this way, it will be possible to land earlier than the classic landing process and reach strategic points faster. However, this situation will also bring the risk of a hard landing. It is already being talked about that this risk can be reduced with tactics such as landing on water.
According to the leaker Wenso, the feature is still in the testing phase. Players will be able to fall directly to the ground after releasing their gliders, and this move will quickly throw them into the middle of the fight. This could increase the importance of being the first to reach areas where competition is intense, especially in terms of loot.
The Glider Releasing system has the potential to create a major change in Fortnite’s landing mechanics. Until now, players had to automatically open their parachutes after a certain point. This was a situation that limited landing strategies. With the new system, landing is completely under the player’s control, and this could completely change the dynamics.
Although there is no official statement from Epic Games yet, the fact that the feature has started to take place on the game’s test servers indicates that it will be activated soon. Glider Releasing seems to add both a nostalgic flavor to Fortnite and make the landing phase more exciting. How players will use this new system is already a matter of curiosity.
