Epic is "considering" a respawn mechanic for Fortnite Battle Royale

During a recent , several 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games designers took to their keyboards to answer some pressing questions from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite fans, such as who they main in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - one producer Link. On a more serious note, the designers also discussed th♒e possibility of adding a respawn mechanic to Fortnite Battle Royale.

"We've been considering this mechanic for a while and have been exploring it," a producer by the username RZELive . "Want to make sure we give it the time it needs and fully understand its impact on the game as a whole. Look for further updates during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Season 8." 

The prospect of respawning coming to Fortnite is especially interesting after the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Apex Legends and it♍s clever revive system. Apex allows surviving players of a team to collect the tags of their fallen allies and deliver them to a respawn point to bring them back in. The possibility of rejoining the match makes the dreaded post-death spectator session much more exciting, even if you do have to re-gear when you respawn, and it's one of many things about Apex that I'd love to see other battle royales emulate. 

I'm sure Epic has been mulling over a respawn system since well before Apex released, but I certainly wouldn't complain if Fortnite followed its lead. In the same vein, the marker and team communication improvements that Epic design lead Eric Williamson are coming in Season 8 could benefit from a quick study of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Apex Legends' masterful ping system. 

You can read every response in the Reddit AMA , and I've rounded up soꦇme other intere𒆙sting tidbits for you below. 

As it happens, the Apex folks at Respawn just held a Reddit AMA of their own, during which they confirmed that the Mozambique Shotgun will remain unchanged (and a meme) for now.
