Fortnite Implements Significant Movement Change

Oh man, so here’s the deal with Fortnite right now, and I gotta admit, it’s kinda wild. So apparently, Fortnite just dropped this bombshell announcement — they disabled Wall Kicks and Roll Landings in all the official modes. Like, all of them. And this just dropped outta nowhere. I mean, one minute you’re all wall-kicking like you’re in a martial arts movie, and the next—boom! Gone. Anyway, I digress.

So, they just kicked off this whole Galactic Battle season, which if you’re into Star Wars, it’s kinda your thing, right? They brought back lightsabers, which sounds like a blast for those who love swinging glowing sticks around. And oh! You can fly X-Wings and Tie Fighters too. I mean, who doesn’t wanna pretend they’re in space racing through the galaxy?

Also, skins! They’re introducing skins of some big-deal characters like Mace Windu and Darth Jar Jar or whoever. I mean, if you told me years ago you’d be dressing up like these guys in Fortnite, I would’ve laughed—or maybe not. Who knows, really?

And yeah, there was this thing on Twitter where Epic Games casually mentioned they’d axed these moves, like Wall Kicks and Roll Landings, and fans are like—wait, what? But if you’re lost, you’re not alone. Some folks in Creative can still use these moves, so it’s only half a surprise.

Players are like, mixed about it—some are saying, “Thank goodness,” while others wish these moves were still around in the Zero Build mode since, hey, you can’t build! So they were sort of essential there. But Epic, being Epic, says they’re learning from this stuff for the future.

Now, about lightsaber pickaxes—folks have been begging for them forever. But nope, nada. Not in this season. Not even a hint. People are like, “Is it ever gonna happen, or is it just a pipe dream?”

Honestly, despite the ups and downs, folks are still hyped about this Star Wars-themed goodness. So, yeah, here’s hoping Epic keeps things fresh. I’d say we wait and see what chaos they cook up next.
