A Fortnite leaker has revealed that a revamp to the gliding mechanics is in the works, which could significantly impact the early stages of Battle Royale matches. In Fortnite, players will first have to wait in the Spawn Island before getting on the Battle Bus. Once every player has finished matchmaking, gamers are put on the Battle Bus and can then decide where they want to land according to its route. After jumping out of the bus, they can free fall up until a certain point and eventually open their glider, or if they're close enough to the ground, it'll automatically open.
In competitive game modes, nailing a landing is key. While it's not as crucial in casual games, it can still greatly impact if players make it past the early part of a Fortnite match. For example, if a player dives too close to a tall structure or landmark, such as a building or a mountain, their glider will automatically open much earlier compared to if they were to aim at the ground or any other landmark or body of water at ground level.
