Fortnite Update 5.21 Patch Impressions: The Good And The Bad
(GameSpot Wii News)
 


The newest Fortnite patch, v5.21, launched this week on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. For Battle Royale, it adds two limited-time modes, Soaring 50s and Sniper Shootout, while a new weapon--the wall-piercing and super-deadly Heavy Sniper--joins the arsenal. You can read the full patch notes here. We`ve spent some time with the new update and here are our thoughts:Soaring 50s LTM Is A Letdown:A variant of the standard 50v50 mode, Soaring 50s gets its name from its focus on giving you more mobility options. The biggest part of this is that you can re-deploy your glider when you`re anywhere higher than 10 meters in the air. You will also find a greater-than-normal number of launch pads, bounce pads, and impulse grenades to give you more opportunities to zoom through the air.I played a handful of Soaring 50s matches and found the experience to be mostly the same as the standard 50v50. It`s the same fast, frenetic, and frame rate chugging experience you`ve come to know and enjoy--or not. (I was playing on Xbox One X, but your mileage may vary). The `soaring` twist doesn`t add much or alter how matches play out in our experience. That being said, it is fun to be able to jump off buildings or build ramps knowing you can escape safely by gliding to the ground. However, I kept asking myself why I would want to do that. Staying alive is critical in Fortnite, and the new mobility options give you more methods to escape. But another key element of Fortnite`s team-based modes is staying close to teammates who can revive you. Soaring away in the heat of battle may let you escape quickly, but it can end up isolating you from the very teammates who could save you. The greater volume of launch pads and bounce pads makes the action more fast-paced and chaotic, but not any more fun in my experience. Soaring 50s is a more chaotic version of 50s, and if that`s what you`re after, it delivers. But it`s not up my alley.Sniper Shootout LTM Is Tense And Thrilling:The ot ...
