Fortnite was introduced to Android with the launch of the Galaxy Note 9 and it managed to garner more than 15 million installs in less than a month. Its PC version also keeps getting updated with new weapons and since season 5 is coming to a close, Epic might soon surprise players with a new weapon that could very well change the tide of an ongoing battle. As per @FNBLeaks, players might soon get to use a Port-a-Fortress grenade that can be tossed down to “take defense to new heights." It is speculated to work similar to the Port-a-Fort that spawns an entire fort, making it easier for players to take cover in the midst of a battle.
The new Port-A-Fortress grenade could be a Legendary rarity item that is said to spawn an entire base. It is reportedly being tested in-game currently and it could arrive in a few days, before the season 5 ends. The artwork suggests that the grenade could spawn a base that is three panels wide and four panels tall with a front door. The art is not quite clear but there could also be four turrets on each corner of the base. Additionally, if the base is square in shape, it will be much larger than Port-a-Fort’s spawn, which has a 1×1 fort that is three panels tall. It is not known whether the new legendary item will instantly spawn a base or will it be slowly built.
Battle royale genre gaming titles like Fortnite and Player Unknown Battlegrounds are making it big now with talks of their own esports competitions. However, there are also some issues that crop up when people decide to invest more time and energy in anything digital. As per divorce-online.co.uk, a UK-based website, Fortnite and other online games have been a part of the reason for divorce in 200 divorce petitions filed since the start of 2018.
Not only Fortnite, but PUBG players have also faced similar problems in real-life. About a month ago, it was reported that a 15-year-old boy was undergoing treatment for PUBG addiction as he would reportedly play the game till midnight and as a result, had started skipping school. He also had over 10,000 friends online, but only a handful in real life. The problem worsened after the boy refused to acknowledge it as a problem. World Health Organisation (WHO) has already released an advisory for gaming disorder and classified it as a pattern of gaming behaviour that results in impaired control over gaming, increased priority to gaming over other activities.
