Picture: Epic
It’s been 5 complete years since Epic Video games launched the primary model of Fortnite—possibly it appears longer. About time, then, that it added a tutorial map within the PC and console variations of the sport. So rejoice, newcomers: You lastly, in concept not less than, get an opportunity to discover ways to play Fortnite earlier than being slaughtered by the youngsters who’ve been taking part in it because the begin. The builders quietly added the PC tutorial on October 31, after which rolled it out for different consoles the following day.
The tutorial mode appears to be like pretty primary, imparting new gamers with information of important actions resembling “transfer,” “leap,” “crouch,” and “break gadgets.” It additionally provides you some respiration house to shoot at targets with out being mauled by human foes. Most crucially, it teaches you the right way to construct issues—a characteristic in Fortnite that I’ve at all times discovered to be mysterious. I’m into it. This tutorial mode truly makes Fortnite appear approachable, slightly than merely being a pandemonium of chaos wherein you possibly can be headshotted by Sasuke Uchiha at any time. You’ll be able to entry the tutorial mode by going to the “From Epic” part of the “Discovery” display.
Longtime Fortnite followers observe that this tutorial has beforehand been accessible on the cell model of the sport, so it’s fully doable that the builders merely didn’t suppose that Fortnite’s extra “hardcore” console and PC gamers wanted a tutorial. Attempt telling that to gamers who bought thrown to the Fortnite wolves within the pre-tutorial period, although.
To be clear: I’m not making enjoyable of people that want tutorials of their video video games. I simply suppose it’s very humorous that the builders determined that the console and PC variations of Fortnite wanted a tutorial 5 years after launch. Whereas the sport remained tutorial-less, gamers have been creating their very own Artistic Mode tutorial maps and YouTube movies for Fortnite newcomers. However hopefully, this replace reduces the variety of newcomers who’re dying with out ever having fired a single shot.
