I hate building things in Fortnite. There, I said it. I never have and never will enjoy it, and not just because I suck at it – okay, maybe my competitive streak hates that I come across people who can build mansions in the blink of an eye while I struggle to build a rickety shack before meeting my end. Fortnite\u2019s Zero Build mode is wonderful to me, and I\u2019m so happy to see what more and more players are realizing its worth. Building things is overrated.<\/p>\n
According to Hypex, a highly reputable leaker and figure in the free Switch game\u2019s community, for more than a week now, Zero Build has more players than the traditional mode that involves building structures in the battle royale game. Zero Build pulls it all back, throwing you into an experience that\u2019s reminiscent of games like PUBG and Call of Duty, as you don\u2019t have the option to construct anything. Instead, it\u2019s all about gunplay.<\/p>\n
In Zero Build, you just need to run around, pull the trigger, and hope that your aim is better than that of your opponents – honestly, it\u2019s a great equalizer. As someone who sucks at the regular Battle Royale mode, playing a game where players have to put the tools down gives me more of a chance. You see, while I can\u2019t build things quickly, I can pull that trigger in the blink of an eye, and my opponents don\u2019t get to show me why they should be America\u2019s Next Top Builder. I kind of wish that was a real show now.<\/p>\n
