Epic Games [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games] has finally given in to fan demand by removing skill based matchmaking from Fortnite Battle Royale [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/fortnite/] squads. A feature added in Chapter 2, SBMM had disgruntled countless fans as it pulled the game away from the fun goofy title to a more competitive one. Many complained of not having fun anymore, and the debate grew ever louder. Fortnite has had a hot and cold few months this year. The discontent among fans grew over issues like aim-assist for controllers, stream-sniping, and the devs favoring competition over entertainment. On the other hand, Fortnite also hosted a slew of virtual events during the global lockdown to great acclaim. Travis Scott’s virtual concert, Astronomical was lauded by most as an epic success. INFLUENCERS REACT TO FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE CHANGE From the looks of it, Epic has truly taken its fans’ desires to heart and has made quite a few changes. The dropping of SBMM has truly endeared them to the majority of the fans. Many popular and influential content creators too voiced their delight at the news. Ninja is one of the most vocal streamers out there. He has been quite critical of Fortnite in the recent past, but his focus was more on aim-assist for controllers. A name more synonymous with Fortnite than any other, Ninja was bound to react to this news as well. Timthetatman too expressed his delight, while also getting roasted again by Dr DisRespect. With no SBMM in the four-player squads’ mode, players can once again enjoy the Battle Royale. Fans can enjoy the game in a more relaxed manner once again. It is exactly why Fortnite became so popular in the first place. Keep watching this space to see if Epic Games do the same for Solos or Duos modes. The devs have not given out an official statement on the change yet. Every coin has two sides, though. Do you agree with Epic’s recent move? 

Epic Games has made a major change to Fortnite Battle Royale by removing SBMM
from the squads mode. Take a look at how influencers reacted to the news.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Epic Games poster game Fortnite was released back in 2017 as a third-person tactical shooter and it was just what Battle Royale fans needed. For years now, it has been known as a shooting adventure, especially for its Battle Royale mode. And the popularity has only grown since, thanks to all the efforts by developer, Epic Games. This has helped bring an exhilarating lineup of collaborations and celebrity features to the Fortnite island.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Epic Games classic lets the players explore an open-world environment where the purpose is to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-these-ten-expensive-fortnite-skins-sent-fans-on-a-spending-spree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survive against other characters (skins)</a> through constant combat and some light-hearted graphical violence which has appealed to a lot of young gamers. The arsenal and combat essentials in the open world have only evolved with time and players have been introduced to new innovative load-outs, essentials, features, and movements from time to time. Let's have a look at how Fortnite has progressed as the biggest â€˜third-person-shooter Battle Royale since its infamous launch in 2017.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Fortnite Structure</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In contrast to other multiplayer games, Fortnite features a single, sizable map that is exclusive to that season. In actuality, you won't likely run into too many other players early on in the game. But as the game goes on, a ring on the map gradually gets closer to the center. Your character will perish if you are discovered outside the ring.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Fortnite is comparable to games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Apex Legends. It does, however, have one special quality. In Fortnite, you can build constructions with your character as you go. In the game, this lets you place traps, construct forts, and provide cover. Further, in contrast to other battle royale games, Fortnite requires you to become an expert shooter and builder.</span>
<h2><strong>StorylineÂ </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It all took off with the Zero Point or as the game calls it The Big Bang which created the universe spawning in trillions of different realities and among all these alternative realities was the center reality zero aka the Fortnite island. This is the home of the zero point, an island that it created to protect itself from any threat. Well, it worked for a while until a mysterious group called the imagined order found out about it and decided to move to the island.Â </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2363482 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-planes-leak.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The group created a whole bunch of secret underground bases which they could access through the bunkers. The secret society used Zero point energy to create a loop that forces people to fight against each other for 22 minutes and then it resets their memory. The IO group are the ones looking after the island and keeping everything in order. However, the twist begins when there are multiple attacks on the island by different enemies seeking zero-point energy.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The storyline starts before the time of Battle Royale when Dr Vindermann, the scientist, finds out about some crazy advancements in the science lab called the Vindertech. He was also the creator of V bucks, Battle Pass and all the weapons players can access on the island. Before Season 3, no player was aware of the loop on the island. Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The MeteorÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388617 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-meteor.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons. The Zero Point became a central element, leading to events like the butterfly event, the Nexus War, and the ongoing struggle against the Loop. Each season brought new story elements, collaborations, and changes to the Fortnite island.</span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The CubeÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios. At this point, the ZERO PT was made central as The Seven, an ensemble of guys trying to keep the multiverse stable, came into play. This story unfolded in the Butterfly event in Season 6, depicting the clash of various powers.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388620 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rocket-fortnite.jpeg" alt="" width="680" height="383" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Foundation was added in subsequent seasons and became key during the Zero Crisis Finale that kicked off Chapter 2, Season 6. IO turned out to be one of the major forces struggling with the disorder caused by the Zero Point.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There were further happenings like the season when the â€œIOâ€ forces invaded and introduced the cube queen whom they had been fighting a continuous war on the loop.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">These two events opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to the island bringing collisions of different universes across the globe to the island. A huge advantage these two attacks on Zero Energy brought was the liberty to bring on many top-tier collaborations to the game.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Notable Collaborations</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As mentioned earlier, a lot of the limelight Fortnite enjoys is attributed to the top-tier lineup of collaborations that have been introduced in the game throughout. From unexpected Easter eggs to some big celebrity skins, there's a never-ending lineup that fans can look back on to celebrate the branding of Fortnite. Let us look at some of the collaborations that still remain the most memorable of all.Â </span>

Well, it worked for a while until a mysterious group called the imagined order found out about it and decided to move to the island.Â  The group created a whole bunch of secret underground bases which they could access through the bunkers. The secret society used Zero point energy to create a loop that forces people to fight against each other for 22 minutes and then it resets their memory. The IO group are the ones looking after the island and keeping everything in order. However, the twist begins when there are multiple attacks on the island by different enemies seeking zero-point energy.Â  The storyline starts before the time of Battle Royale when Dr Vindermann, the scientist, finds out about some crazy advancements in the science lab called the Vindertech. He was also the creator of V bucks, Battle Pass and all the weapons players can access on the island. Before Season 3, no player was aware of the loop on the island. Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â   The MeteorÂ   On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island. The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons. The Zero Point became a central element, leading to events like the butterfly event, the Nexus War, and the ongoing struggle against the Loop. Each season brought new story elements, collaborations, and changes to the Fortnite island.  The CubeÂ   An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons. The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube. Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios. At this point, the ZERO PT was made central as The Seven, an ensemble of guys trying to keep the multiverse stable, came into play. This story unfolded in the Butterfly event in Season 6, depicting the clash of various powers. The Foundation was added in subsequent seasons and became key during the Zero Crisis Finale that kicked off Chapter 2, Season 6. IO turned out to be one of the major forces struggling with the disorder caused by the Zero Point. There were further happenings like the season when the â€œIOâ€ forces invaded and introduced the cube queen whom they had been fighting a continuous war on the loop.Â  These two events opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to the island bringing collisions of different universes across the globe to the island. A huge advantage these two attacks on Zero Energy brought was the liberty to bring on many top-tier collaborations to the game.Â  Notable Collaborations As mentioned earlier, a lot of the limelight Fortnite enjoys is attributed to the top-tier lineup of collaborations that have been introduced in the game throughout. From unexpected Easter eggs to some big celebrity skins, there&#8217;s a never-ending lineup that fans can look back on to celebrate the branding of Fortnite.
