Tribes mode when?
[Update:Turns out that jetpack update has been delayed a bit. As told toPC Gamer, Epic Games found a last minute issue with the jetpack, so it has decided to go ahead with the “hunting rifle” for the time being. Jetpacks haven’t been abandoned, they’ll just come a little later than originally intended.]
Epic Games is constantly introducinglimited timemodes and new weapons intoFortniteto keep players coming back for more and this next addition sounds pretty stellar. As noticed by many in the “Coming Soon” section while booting up the game, jetpacks will soon be entering the fray. Seeing as howTribesis a favorite series of mine, I’d definitely intrigued by what jetpacks could bring to a battle royale game.
As mentioned in the PC Gamer article, the jetpack icon has a gold background which typically denotes legendary items. Whether this means jetpacks will be rare drops like some of the other in-game items or if this will be a limited time thing is anyone’s guess, but some players over on theFortnitesubredditare speculating that the jetpack might just be a portable jump pad.
Seeing as how no battle royale game currently has air based combat, this could be a potential way forFortniteto blaze a trail of its own. If nothing else, at least they will let me believe thatTribesnever died.
