Battle Royale duels are taking over the gaming world.<\/p>\n

Fortnite<\/a> is currently the most played game on the Twitch platform and despite the multiple imitations, the game remains as the preferred option for streamers, celebrities and pro-players alike.<\/p>\n

Epic Games, the studio behind Fortnite<\/a>, is trying to keep the momentum going with new items and updates.<\/p>\n

They first teased the Port-a-Fort grenade on the in-game news tab. Then they showed how it worked with a short video on their social media.<\/p>\n

Epic Games finally introduced the item with patch 3.5 on April 10. Simply put, it is a portable three-story fort made of metal. Upon impact, the building sprouts and gives a tactical advantage to the player. It could be considered a defense item with offense utility.<\/p>\n

Streamers immediately showed how to take advantage of the grenade. It is possible to build multiple Port-a-Fort one on top of the other. Combined with the first shot accuracy, it is a guaranteed win.<\/p>\n

This item could be a life saver for players that don’t know how to build efficiently. Building is the ability that differentiates Fortnite from other battle royale games.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the Port-a-Fort grenade is overpowered just like the Guided Missile, an item introduced on a previous patch. Epic Games is known for the attention they pay to the Fortnite community. The studio will certainly nerf both items in futures updates.<\/p>\n

After the success of the Port-a-Fort and vending machines, Epic Games announced they will keep adding content without major updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
