To improve the performance drastically in the new mode, Epic Games have had to take major cutoffs to the game’s visuals. Sometimes these tradeoffs can be too much by giving the players a major disadvantage even with the increase in performance. This could be a problem that Fortnite may have dug themselves.

The textures are so miniscule that players can’t even look through their builds, which almost makes them look opaque. This could be a real problem during build battles when players can’t see their opponents’ location, rendering the performance boost almost useless.
