Fortnite is a survival action game that has taken the young generation by storm. Compared to the complete Call of Duty series, every millennial is seen talking about the action game with postmodern weaponry, cartoonish graphics, and realistic gameplay.

The game comes out on a cross-platform including PS4, Xbox One, Windows, iOS and Mac which makes it a unique game that is available on gaming console and PC. The survival game is based upon strategic thinking of the player who needs to act with the team in order to wipe out enemy monsters or lock horns with fellow players in the online arena known as Battle Royale with up 100 players fighting for team/individual glory.

However, with the increasing demand of mobile users around the world to get the game on their handheld devices, EPIC has decided to release this fantastic game on the Android platform after a successful launch on the iOS platform.

First impressions: Fortnite on Android

A large number of additions have been made in the latest update in order to facilitate the touch screen players as opposed to those playing on keyboard or controller platforms. There were many bugs which needed to be fixed in order to make the game compatible with Android devices. Some of the fixes in the latest update include…

Blitz mode

In order to comply with mobile users who pay the game while in transit or on the potty, a new 15 min round called Blitz mode has been introduced. This mode can be played in squad mode only so you have to wipe out 19 teams only to win while the storm of the eye is shrinking all the time.

Gameplay changes

Many gameplay changes have been incorporated in the update to facilitate the Android user. Shooting has been made easier for handheld devices. No more does a single touch on the screen fires the gun. A quick tap tutorial has been added at the startup which can bring you up to speed with tap firing and tap holding options for far better gameplay and accurate shooting than before.

New weapons

Two new weapons have been added to the arsenal which is also available in the Android version. You can now fire a guided missile and guide it over and under obstacles to hit an enemy securely camped in its fort. However, remember that you cannot move your player while you control the missile. Therefore, do take cover while guiding the missile down an enemy’s chimney.

Who doesn’t want detonatable C4 charge in their inventory? Remote explosives are the second addition to the latest update and these C4 charges can be found in the Battle Royale’s Supply Llamas, treasure chest, supply drops and floor loots. All you need to do is to place the charge and wait for the enemy or flock of enemies to arrive and press the trigger.
