Fortnite Adds Tutorial Mode To PC And Consoles 5 Years Later

It’s been 5 entire years since Epic Games launched the primary model of Fortnite—perhaps it appears longer. About time, then, that it added a tutorial map within the PC and console variations of the sport. So rejoice, newcomers: You lastly, in concept a minimum of, get an opportunity to learn to play Fortnite earlier than being slaughtered by the children who’ve been enjoying it because the begin. The builders quietly added the PC tutorial on October 31, after which rolled it out for different consoles the subsequent day.

The tutorial mode seems to be pretty primary, imparting new gamers with information of important actions equivalent to “move,” “jump,” “crouch,” and “break items.” It additionally provides you some respiration area to shoot at targets with out being mauled by human foes.
