Fortnite players question why hurdling is taking nearly 6 months to fix Epic GamesEpic removed the hurdling mechanic from Fortnite roughly six months ago, and players are wondering what\u2019s taking so long to fix it. The hurdle mechanic hit Fortnite during Chapter 4 Season 1. While some players were enamored by the new feature, others pushed for its removal. Ultimately, the latter group had their wish granted. Epic disabled the mechanic in mid-December 2022 due to issues, then brought it back soon thereafter. Only for it to still be broken. Because approaching waist-high objects automatically activated the animation, players were jumping over obstacles by accident. Worst still, a widespread bug often launched hurdling characters high into the air. On January 12, 2023, Epic announced it had \u201ctemporarily disabled hurdling,\u201d with the promise of introducing fixes soon. Those fixes still haven\u2019t come over 6 months after the removal of hurdling, leaving players wondering if the mechanic will ever come back at all. Fortnite fans wonder why the hurdle mechanic still isn\u2019t fixed A Reddit user recently noted that developers \u201ctemporarily\u201d removed hurdling from Fortnite Battle Royale 167 days ago. Talk about what\u2019s taking so long fills the thread, with many wondering how Epic managed to drop the ball. Wrote one Redditor, \u201cThey really dropped the ball on that one. Hyped up the new chapter with this new mobility mechanic just for it to be a dud.\u201d Someone else argued that it \u201cdefinitely should\u2019ve been fixed by now.\u201d What frustrates others is the notion that much of Chapter 4\u2019s design was geared toward hurdling. Apparently, its absence shows in more ways than one: \u201cHalf the chapter 4 map was built around hurdling. Then they removed and didn\u2019t make any changes to those parts of the map\u2026\u201d Many players can\u2019t help but wonder when the feature will finally make its grand return, but there are those who\u2019d prefer hurdling to remain in the vault. \u201cIt was more annoying to have in\u2026 I kept hurdling over things I didn\u2019t want to hurdle over. I\u2019d be perfectly fine with it staying away for good,\u201d said someone on the opposing side of the discussion. As of writing, Epic hasn\u2019t offered a hint as to when Fortnite Battle Royale players can expect a hurdling fix. Those who\u2019d like to experiment with the mechanic a bit further should give it a go on Creative Mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
