There is nothing quite like player ingenuity to get a fresh new perspective on a game. Everyone knows that Fortnite is exclusively played from the third-person perspective. But one player on Reddit has shared a way to see the game from a first-person view. But as with everything in Fortnite, the reactions are mixed.
Fortnite Fans Discover How To Make First-Person Mode Work
A Redditor that goes by the user name Medic2019 has shared a way to enable first-person mode in a Reddit thread. This was proven with a short gameplay clip presenting how it looks in the game. As they explained in a comment: “If you enable first person in Save the World and go to replay mode, you’ll be spectating in first person.”
This implies that you would have to play Save the World mode to even attempt this, but what’s even more curious is how different the game looks from this perspective. It almost resembles something from PUBG or CoD, as some of the commenters have suggested.
Many other Redditors have surmised that you’d be putting yourself at a disadvantage in a game like Fortnite. That is because others have a wider field of vision through third-person view, as compounded by user Cereal_killah_1980: “I’ve never been a fan of first-person personally but even if it was my preferred perspective why would I want to compete against others playing in 3rd person. Surely you’re at a disadvantage unless the whole lobby is first-person as well. Maybe that has something to do with the delay of first-person”.
Players have suggested adding a separate game mode that would be first-person only, but others retorted that would only further fracture the player pool. Of course, there is also a portion of the community that’s vehemently against Fortnite ever having first-person mode at all. “Sure it works, but barely…”
But first-person mode has been in the works for some time now. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before Fortnite players can really play the game that way. It will be fun to see the community reaction when the real first-person mode rolls around.
