Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived, and with it comes a huge change that could be quite divisive for the community. If you have been lucky enough to get online and play the game, you will notice something amiss. Fortnite, the game famous for box-battles and building terrain during fights, does not currently have building in normal or arena modes.
According to noted dataminer iFireMonkey, this is due to an ongoing quest that will be playing out over the first nine days of the season. As such, if you have in the game wondering why you cannot build, that is why.
This will actually be an incredibly interesting time in Fortnite, as building has always been such an essential part of the game. Not just for gunfights but also for getting around the map. There are lots of places that players will be used to going that will be practically inaccessible without building being active.
It will also turn Fortnite into more of a traditional third-person shooter for a little over a week, which is something many people in the community have been curious about for some time. Players who love building will only need to wait for nine days for it to come back, then you can start putting together your epic build montages again.
