Fortnite copies Apex Legends again with new Season 2 feature Epic Games \/ EAApex Legends players are mocking Epic Games for copying Respawn with a new feature coming to Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 2\u2026 and not for the first time. Respawn\u2019s surprise release in February 2019 featured a number of inventive features, never seen before in battle royales \u2014 such as respawning and a ping communication system. The developers introduced a title that would change the landscape of the battle royale genre forever, by launching a game that was both triple-A quality while presenting a plethora of innovative features. Respawn beacons, a non-verbal ping system and jumptowers. These are all features that Epic Games have nabbed from Respawn\u2019s innovative team (so far), by applying a fresh lick of paint and spinning them off as their own. Now we can add Loot Vaults to that list. Loot Vaults host a mixture of Epic and Legendary loot that can only be accessed when a player holds a Vault Key in their inventory. Fortnite recently received a vault system as part of the changes that came with its second season. Straight out of Apex Legends\u2019 playbook, the vault system works by the same means as those you\u2019d find while roaming World\u2019s Edge. And players were quick to throw Epic Games under the proverbial Battle Bus, as they poked fun at Fortnite\u2019s development team on the Apex Legends subreddit. While one Reddit user resorted to paraphrasing the dialogue from Marty\u2019s iconic scene in Back to the Future, others used more literal memes. Another user used the classic \u2018can I copy your homework?\u2019 meme to reflect just how much both vault features appear alike. Another Redditor took a jab at Epic Games\u2019 development team by using the popular \u2018write that down\u2019 meme from the scene where SpongeBob and Patrick are watching Squidward while writing down his actions. Of course, Epic Games have largely innovated the battle royale realm by their own accord, with the features that they\u2019ve introduced (such as the building mechanic). However, Apex Legends\u2019 faithful community has a canny eye and noticed the trend that is beginning to develop. Who knows, perhaps Fortnite will be getting their very own version of Lifeline in an upcoming update? Oh wait\u2026 Of course, with all that being said, Fortnite has done its bit for the gaming community as whole. After adopting a season-based model for their content delivery \u2013 with the option of a seasonal battle pass \u2013 many developers followed in Epic Games\u2019 footsteps. So jokes aside, the free-to-play title deserves an abundance of credit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
