Alright, so picture this: Fortnite just threw in this new thing called a “Shove” mechanic. Yeah, that’s right, you can actually push other players around now. Imagine that chaos. Normally, when games change, it’s like, “Oh cool, a new skin,” but this? This is a whole new ballgame.
Anyway, the whole idea kicks off in Fortnite Creative first—I guess kind of like a test run? Maybe it’ll hit Battle Royale too, or maybe not—Epic’s being kinda mysterious about it. But thinking about how movement’s evolved in Fortnite over the years is kinda mind-blowing. Remember when sprinting was first a thing? Honestly, thought nothing could top that. Fast-forward to now, and here we are, pushing people off cliffs. Wild, right?
So, “Shove” lets you nudge someone with this gentle (or not-so-gentle) force. Ever accidentally slide-kicked someone in Fortnite? This feels like it could be that annoying, but more… intentional, I guess? You could push someone off a high spot and watch them take, like, total fall damage. Not that I’m encouraging gaming violence or anything—just sayin’.
For now, the shove thing is staying in Creative Mode. You can bet custom creators are already dreaming up all sorts of wild scenarios, maybe involving wacky obstacle courses where shoving is basically a superpower. Sounds like a headache, but in a fun way?
I wonder how this’ll shake up competitive play if it ever makes the jump to Battle Royale. Can you imagine the fights? Picture being in this epic build battle only to get shoved to your demise by some sneaky player hiding behind their latest construction masterpiece. Ugh, I get stressed just thinking about it—but also kinda excited.
And then there’s this whole thing with Epic and AI stuff—like, apparently, they’ve got an AI Darth Vader roaming around now? It’s got people worked up enough to file charges over it. Drama, drama, drama. Anyway, I’m riveted to see how adding something as simple as a push can flip the game on its head—or maybe just knock another player off of one.
