Every season in Fortnite, the developers try to improve the game by adding new features. At times, these new features are loved by the community, while at others, they need a lot of work to function as intended.

Nevertheless, according to the leaks, numerous new features are set to be added during Chapter 3. This includes new traversal mechanics, mobility features, and more.

Note: These features have not been confirmed and are based on leaks and data mined elements. Readers are advised to take these findings with a grain of salt.

These new upcoming features will make Fortnite Chapter 3 truly incredible

5) Parkour

With parkour becoming ever more popular, many developers are adapting the mechanics for their games. To keep up with this technological "feature" race, Epic Games is working on their parkour feature called "Clamber."

According to leakers, this upcoming mechanism, when implemented, will allow players to vault over objects and through windows. Alternatively, it may also be a sort of climbing mechanism, which will allow players to get over walls and other obstacles without having to build.


4) Drivable tanks

While the Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. is an offensive war machine, it's not exactly a vehicle. It moves around on two legs rather than threads. However, according to HYPEX and other prominent leakers, that's about to change.

With the Imagined Order on the island, drivable tanks are likely to be coming to the game soon. Two players will be able to occupy the vehicle and use it. Unfortunately, there is no information stating if the "tank" will have any armaments or not.


3) Sprinting

Although vehicles, rifts, and Spider-Man Web Shooters provide high mobility in Chapter 3, a new movement type will be added soon. According to the leakers, a "Tactical Sprint" feature is currently in development.

In theory, it will allow players to move faster for a short period of time. Given the game's physics, players will move even faster when going downhill as compared to flat terrain.


2) New shield mechanics

Although shields have existed in-game since the very beginning, a brand new type of shield is in development. According to leakers, this feature, called "Tactical Overshield," will have its very own representation bar in-game.

However, for the time being, it's not known if this new feature will be based around an item or be part of combat mechanics. According to some community members, it may even work similarly to "Storm Health Bar," which was a prominent feature in Fortnite China.


1) Unique vehicle mods

Vehicles have been a core aspect of the game since its inception. However, cars were only introduced to Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 3. Barely three seasons later, the first true vehicle mod was added in.

Based on the latest leaks, Epic Games is again actively working on more mods for vehicles. While not a lot of information is available at present, the new mods are likely to include armor for vehicles and a turret mount.
