Tactical sprinting and mantling will help players during the 'No-Build' week in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2

Epic Games has announced that players will not be able to build in the game for a week. Building is one of the most unique mechanics that the game has been known for over the years.

However, this 'no-build' feature will make life difficult for traditional loopers in the game. Due to this, new movement mechanics have been added.

Tactical sprinting allows players to sprint faster for a short duration. The default movement speed has increased, resulting in a faster sprint. The sprint meter also shows players how long they can sprint at the new pace.

Tactical sprints can be best used to get away from the storm. It can also be used to dodge bullets from enemies. As there are no builds in the game, players will be able to run faster to get to cover.

Players can also mix up sliding, tactical sprinting, and mantling to get to higher positions, climb walls, and take the enemy by surprise by using movement to their advantage. Builds were the defense in close-range fights, but players can now sprint faster and climb higher on the island.

More intel on movement mechanics can be deciphered once players get accustomed to the new mechanics in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
