#GamingBytes: Fortnite Battle Bus will now move faster
Fortnite Battle Royale remains one of the most popular in the genre, due to its constant attention to players' needs and ability to anticipate what would make the gameplay experience better. In this context, it has made some changes in the speed of the Battle Bus, increasing it so players can jump into the map and get action quicker. Read all about it here.
What is the Battle Bus?
For those unaware, the Battle Royale format requires players to jump out of a moving vehicle onto a restricted map and fight for survival. The flying vehicle, in the unique animated take by Fortnite, on this genre, is the Battle Bus.
All about speeding up the bus
Developers Epic decided to increase speed of the Battle Bus, by 25%. While there is no specific reason for the driver to be hitting the gas, Epic might have presumed that players are accustomed enough to dropping into the map, by now. Notably, a 25% speed increase will be noticeable but not be disorienting for the players. Don't forget to thank your bus driver!
Epic feels the need, the need for speed
How the Battle Bus speed will affect gameplay
While the increased speed of Battle Bus will let players enter the Battle Royale fray quicker, it might cause problems for newcomers. If the bus flies faster, it will cover the distance quicker, thus gamers will have lesser time to decide where to land. Furthermore, if they hesitate, they might cross their desired landing spots, forcing them to glide there, losing the first-mover advantage.
