Fortnite's controversial glider re-deploy feature is being removed from all default game modes
Epic has announced that it will be removing Fortnite's recently implemented, and highly divisive, glider re-deploy mechanic from all default game modes.
Glider re-deploy, unsurprisingly, enables players to deploy their glider during free-fall from a certain height at any point during a match, rather than merely at the start of a game. The mechanic first appeared during Fortnite's limited-time Soaring 50s mode in August, and transitioned to the the game's default modes - solos, duos, and squads - as a "test" just two weeks ago. The change immediately proved controversial.
While plenty of players (including pretty much everyone at Eurogamer) loved the faster-paced play-style and increased fluidity that glider re-deploy brought to the core Fortnite experience, others - some peeved at the sudden obsolescence of their previously winning strategies, and some frustrated with changes to the meta - were less keen. In the end, the nays won out.
