Fortnite Just Made a Massive Change to Fall Damage and Players Aren’t Sure About It

Epic Games’ Fortnite update 40.40 adds Overwatch characters and introduces major casual-mode gameplay changes.

In non-ranked Battle Royale and Zero Build, fall damage is no longer fatal; players now land at 1 HP with a new splat animation.

Zero Build also gets infinite sprint stamina while holding a pickaxe and the ability to cut the glider early.

The changes could reshape pacing and movement in Fortnite’s casual modes ahead of Chapter 7 Season 2.
