There’s no walls around you and me anymore, so what’s your excuse for not following me on twitter (twitter.com/TheMacroShow)

It’s funny how in lore, IO just inconvenienced everyone so they could do their imperialism stuff, but in reality, nearly all the people who quit playing are happy that building is destroyed, which is the exact OPPOSITE of what IO was trying to do.

Now that kids can’t can’t build the Taj Mahal every time you shoot them it’s actually fun

I've been playing since chapter 1 season 4, and i have to say, this is one of my favorite updates in a long time. I thought i wouldn't like it because its removing a key mechanic that I've tried to learn for years (and always wished they added more too), but it makes the game x100 better in solos and makes the other three gamemodes way more fun because I'm not just on the ground while my teammates are just on top of the Burj Khalifa.

I’m so glad for this new direction. For as long as I’ve played Fortnite I’ve only built basic cover or ramps, and usually relied on natural cover when possible. Fighting build happy players was very frustrating. The playing field feels a lot more inherently balanced and fun now that everyone is forced to rely on traditional gunplay and strategic positioning.

I think it would be a great idea to have both modes available. People that practiced building/editing for years shouldn’t have that hard work taken away from them, but a lot of people also like the faster pace of this new gamemode

Let’s be real Fortnite with players not building skyscrapers after taking in one shot honestly feels like a more fastpaced BR after adding the sprinting and parkour system

They can simply make a new mode where you can't build while keeping the building mode separate..keeping both parties happy

Certainly feels good to see your enemies go to build, instinctively, only to waste their draw time and lose the fight. Love it.

That intro was beautiful, and perfectly homemade, I never skip your intros on my first watch, and sometimes my second.

As a person who played on day 1 where no one builds, then take a break after a few seasons, came back to lots of cracked builders, took a break again, it's nice to see no building

The great thing is that a few of the mechanics points are slowly being resolved. Items like med-mist allow you to spray 5 health a second on either yourself or your teammates while on the go and reviving is now able to be quicker too. Granted, it's only with more people helping, but it is a start.

New to Fortnite, loving the no build. Its nice to shoot at someone without having the fear of them building an entire hotel in front me in seconds.

They need to keep this “all fight, no build” thing as a permentant side mode. I’m so tired at shooting at a kid and he builds the Great Wall of China in 2 seconds

I think in earlier seasons, like Season 3 4 or 5 removing building would be super detrimental. But now that the game has matured so much and added so, so many things that it stands on it’s own now without building.

The problem I have with having two separate game modes is that the building version is going to be filled with nothing but sweats. Also I feel like if they had both modes, it will be hard to balance things between the two. I know for a fact in early versions of Fortnite the bolt action sniper rifle was doodoo ass, there was no reason to use it because it was just way better to build fight with Ar's and shotguns and smgs. But now it's actually viable since you don't need to shoot through cover all the time. Idk I like no building Fortnite, the only time I truly will enjoy Fortnite

No build also greatly encourages good positioning. If you’re caught in the open with no cover, you’ll get lasered. Unlike in builds, you cannot create cover so you need to be in a position where you can easily escape a sticky situation, or be able to fight back with an advantage

I was talking about this a few days ago and I actually really enjoyed my time without builds... However instead of being a mode my idea is that they add a filter like fill/no fill with teammates but additionally with builds so builds/no builds so that that way it goes across every mode

8:29 There is way to revive faster, although it only really works when you have a big squad. Multiple people can put their “hand” on a downed teammate to increase the speed at which the teammate is revived. There is a hand icon underneath the time left to revive and it has a ‘x 1’. More teammates reviving = Faster revives Not sure if Macro or anyone knew this, but just thought I should mention it :)

When the boneworks ost for the outro started playing it sent chills down my spine (in a good way) I really like fortnite and always have just never been able to crank and I am really happy with how this week's was fun

I like how they give you the same amount of xp for opening chests and getting eliminations. Not only does it incentivize aggressive play, but also to explore as well. No build mode is such a great addition. I will throw my money at epic games if they continue with the anime collabs.

I’ll be honest, as much as I hate to say it I originally thought the game would be pretty generic without building. As I thought about it though I really realized just how much unique, fun, and weird items are in the game. This is the most fun the game has been in years, and it’s thank to the game’s uniqueness. This video is entirely correct well done.

in my opinion removing the building mechanic sorta levelled out the skill gap of a casual game... and it's honest to god fun.

honestly this gamemode I'm actually good at. My friends said that for a beginner I had really good aim but because of the constant building I quit and move to apex and valorant and such. Now tho without building it's not annoying anymore, people aren't building a wall around them that you will eventually run out of ammo from shooting at and die.

at the start of the season i barely got any dubs since im more of a builder and clip people but it feels refreshing after a while and in a way it feels more fun

Building is very important to the comp scene. Comp Fortnite without building might literally be apex without shooting. It’s that impactful. That’s why I’m happy they only did it in unranked. Building is still in ranked. I think if no building and building coexist, it could be so beneficial to the game

I feel like if they wanted to add building back, they should add a stamina feature to building so people don't start building skyscrapers in 2 milliseconds.

nice song, when will be released on Spotify?

8:31 a new feature from chapter 3 is that when ur playin squads and one of your teammates get knocked u can actualy revive them faster this is the hand there if a full squad is reviving then it will be 3x faster

About the tanks though, they can be easy to take on if you know the weak spots, like the driver’s hatch, engine or tracks

I have a feeling it’s gonna be two different modes if they gonna have building then make it like a cool down ability where it’s used every 3 seconds unlike every millisecond but I do prefer no building

As a heavy builder in Fortnite I found it annoying at first that I couldn’t put up just a simple wall when I was out with the open and it’s been really hard to adapt but I think I found my groove 👌👌👌

Removing bulding got me back into fortnite. I quit around seasson 4 way back because the building just got too sweaty and challenging to keep up if you didn't practice all day. I love the game again

I enjoy both building and no building and I am happy that there will be an option to have both. But I think in the future thet will start makin changes to the two versions separately, like overshield being exclusive to no building. I have already heard they are reducing damage to structures with weapons for no build so its all looking good so far

Recently stopped playing Apex Ftm due to too many Bugs and server crashes. But damn this update got me to play Fortnite and I plan on playing for a long time.

"There's no more walls around you and meeeee" Buildings and Structures: "Am I a joke to you?"

That is just what I am saying to my friends. The game is great, but the building just makes every uniqe feature pop like the crazy skins, mechanics and fun weapons. I believe that by removing turbo building the game would be in a much more healthier more casual state.

FORTNITE NO BUILDING GOD TIER

If they make classic royale mode with pretty much everything from season 1 to season 3 (first chapter) I would play this game for hours again, it was such a good game, best BR ever made

I heard that outro music boneworks video when

With the new 'sprays' you can actually heal yourself while moving! Glad to have such changes to the mechanics.

Atleast now the game is actually playable

Im planning on starting next month or getting it, and its sad because new players might well rage..

I love how you can explore the beauty of the game’s places without TO MUCH WALLS EVERYWHERE

I like building, I understand why people prefer no builds. But building is what makes the skill sealing so high

Building I think represents at most half of what makes Fortnite special and the other half is everything else that gets overshadowed by building. So by taking away building, we have to adapt and actually think about positioning and movement more now than ever. Also seeing people get mad that building was taken away puts a smile on my face, no offense.

I think that fortnite really ought to think about adding a delay with building. Both when pulling out/putting away your build menu and between placing/editing pieces. It would make you prioritize what to build first rather than just build everything at once, and remove the inconvenience that not being able to build at all gives.

I'm really glad this will become a mode.later down the line as I have been out of town. Like always great video

I actually realy enjoy playing fortnite with friends rn since building got disabled. Even though i like apex's gameplay much more fortnite feels so fresh becuase all of the constent updates

I really like no building in fortnite, and I would consider myself a sweat. I really hope they keep no building in pubs but make it so structures are a lil harder to break with guns

I haven't watched a Macro video in a while, so this has a real homecoming feel!

after playing the gamemode even in the building gamemode i learned to use cover more and dont build sometimes

as someone who plays fortnite for 3 years straight without any major break, i really like the no building change

8:30 you can revive faster if theres more than one teammate holding the revive button on the knocked one

First video of yours I've seen. Great quality, and great points. A+ Gonna go play Fortnite BBL.

The no building is what brought me back to play a bit. I couldnt get into the building aspect cause it's so frustrating when you shoot somone with a sniper one time and then 10 seconds later they have a damn fortress already built around them and are healing

Its simple, the fun of the amazing game that is fortnite with all of its wacky and cool weapons, without the frustration of building. Its a recipe for success even pulling players from other BR-s that dont have building but amazing gunplay.

they should make its own mode remember how theres a menu before u choose br theres a choice between save the world and br they should do that but one with building and one doesnt

Personally my biggest gripe with Fortnite has always been that builders who can’t actually win a gunfight win by building a tower over and on top of you and then running away if you happen to get some damage in before the storm hits. The absolute button spam that would be required on a controller is insane to match that. And that’s how the higher level players can only play so it’s always the same disappointing feeling when I can work my way up to playing in the higher levels with minimal building at all and relying on my own game sense and skill and then there’s just a hard ceiling built outta brick on top of me and an idiot with a shotgun. It’s why I keep dropping Fortnite bc hitting that hot mess isn’t fun but that’s what all my games devolve into and I can’t build out of an enemies building so it’s just incredibly frustrating.

This is something huge for me. I'm kind of player over 30 who wants to relax after work and many times I've tried fortnite because I like many gameplay mechanics and graphics but I am not able to teach myself stupid building and that was core feature which was key to success. And now is everything changed for me and I can enjoy game too.

I never thought I would redownload this game after quitting during S6, but damn am I glad I did

They could also add Port-A-Fort's back into the no building version, it won't really count as building, but rather spawning some cover. Port-A-Fort's will still be rare and a bit hard to obtain, and they will not be stackable. I think that would be great.

As a person who considers themselves a decent builder I loved mode and I'm happy that it's staying, one of my fiends started least season and they struggled and it would always come down to me having to carry them since we'll ik how to build the eifel tower in 20 seconds but this mode was really fun and I'm happy to say that no building is back I still play no builds as it is so much more casual and fun good video macro keep up the good work

3:25 Actually, respawns/reboots were being worked on since Chapter 1 Season 3. One year before Apex's release. Nice video tho. And there are ways to destroy the tanks. Like shooting the yellow capsule at the frost of the tank to reveal the driver or overheat it by shooting the yellow squares on the butt of the tank. Revives are quicker if you do them with 2 or more teammates. 8:15 if I remember correctly, Med Mist does exactly that

I came back to Fortnite for the first time in 4 years, my brother had told me about the No building and thought “ you know what I’ll actually give this a shot” and I’m actually really enjoying it again. 😎

Well, this is every 9 year old weakness

Have you tried save the world? its great! theres a lot of depth and strategy to dig into if youre so inclined. and for a new player 80% of the complex systems wont matter until their 100th+ hour of play

if u guys have played clash of clans a long time ago that song macro sang at first was themed from bye bye builder event in coc

I think it would be super healthy for the casual scene of the game if Epic were to bring back building in public matches with the 1.4 turbo build speed similar to how they tried to revert it in Chapter 1 Season X. Since Chapter 3 Season 2 has brought us so many new movement options, building wouldn't be as important to turning the tides of a dual between you and your opponent. The start of this season has already been a great example of how comfortable Epic is with changing how the building mechanic works between competitive and casual queues (disabling building in pubs and leaving it on in arena) if Epic were to truly go through with reducing the speed of turbo build, we might finally see a proper divide between competitive and casual players, making pubs a friendlier place for newer players to get into the action while those who enjoy fast paced build fights can stay and grind in the Arena playlists.

Ah yes my favorite game, nite

i think the better idea is a build cooldown, maybe a one second delay between placing stuff to allow people to build for when they need to do basic stuff like bridge or quickly protect a teammate who was knocked, but prevents sweats from build the eiffel tower in 0.2 seconds. Honestly i think fortnite should split its battly royale stuff into two, a "normal fortnite" that gets all the cool seasonal features, building cooldown, and all the fun crossover stuff, and a "competetive fortnite" with a map that stays relatively the same forever and only the best and most liked features from the normal version, with no build cooldown and none of the crossover event items and in game stuff like NPC's and things like that. Inbetween these two main gamemodes would be creative of course with all the stuff that players like and can make their own versions of

This is actually one of the best opinion about games/explanation/not gameplay (but still about games) video I have ever seen! Good job man and keep this up!

I think that the removal of building was amazing because if you had good him and were smart, yeah that could give you a small advantage but if you could build, you got a MASSIVE advantage over anyone who could build as good

I loved building back when it was used for its intended purpose of building a fort, or even when people just made ramps.

You make very valid points. I couldn't get into Fortnite because of the building in the BR game circa 2018, but after hearing about Fortnite minus the building, that's what will make me give Fortnite one more chance and eventually liking it.

I haven't played Fortnite in a while, but no building mode has made me consider play the game again I hated building as a mechanic because of all of the sweats who would build a giant fort after getting shot at once, I don't know if is should go back or not because fortnite is such a big game at this point having it installed on my switch means that I can only have 2 other games with it

I admit that no building is fun, but at the end of the day building is apart of Fortnite. Don’t expect it to go away.

as someone who played in chap one season one this is a great change, playing the game was like the equivalent of playing a sport against someone who runs at 30 mph whos also 8 feet tall whos also 300 pounds. it went from a cool mechanic, to becoming a nuisance

I've always loved Fortnite but never played because of the building, I couldn't get into shooting someone and instantly having to chase them through a tower they just created out of thin air, but this mode has made me love the game. The games atmosphere is so chill and fun but also can have serious moments it's a perfect mix for me.

i love the no building mode but dont play much because either I’m burnt out of the game or just find it boring maybe? but when I do get on I have a blast

3:56 the guy in the top right is probably only good at building and got no aim

( 8:17) You can move while healing by using the med-mist it just heals slowly

Maybe there’s a middle ground besides just no build or having two modes and spilting the player base introducing some sort of limiting factor that limits how fast people can build as that seems to be the number one problem that people can build way to intricate of structures in a sort amount of time , in the early days when people hadn’t fully mastered building yet it was used mostly for simple cover walls and only when there was a lull between fight encounter could you build something a lil more complex which was fine because opponents would see the structure as they got closer and could decide to fight run away or even build there own structure close by it was really fun being the 2 or 3 teams and you almost became like warriors back in the day attacking each other forts then when you won the third team would just be nomads coming in and having the element of surprise that’s what made building balance you originally couldn’t make anything big without time and no one around but you made yourself known to those around you while if you didn’t build you wouldn’t have the cover and safety it could provide but your could also use the element of surprise and even other strategies like waiting till the storm enveloped a structure and catch the team on there heels when they had to run out to escape the storm however it all falls apart if these could be made on the fly during gun fights it creates an unfair advantage to those that could do it when even if you couldn’t build at all in the early days you could still be competitive by other means I don’t know how you bring the early dynamic back but that’s the key

great video but my favorite part is hearing the boneworks ost outro

To be honest if macro made his own battle royale game it would probably the most balanced game in the world

Though Fortnite has been so fun without building, there's this incredibly weird feeling in my mind that just says the game doesn't feel right without building even if it is more fun. So something I'd like to see is building be updated itself. I want to see Epic find that Goldilocks zone for the building bros and everyone else. I wanna see building accommodate that faster yet smooth pace that everyone clearly loves. I don't know how'd they do it, but it's something I'd like to see, because though Fortnite has many unique things to it, it's feels kinda mean to completely leave a day one mechanic (especially something as big as building) practically the same. Like I personally do not like the idea of building BR becoming that niche mode only known for being played by toxic try hards, gate keepers, and puritans.

7:19 i wonder how many star wars fan where yelling at you from behind their screens also, First order stormtrooper*

I haven't played since literally season 3. Since before there was chapters. And playing no build has brought me deep into this game and I'm enjoying wasting my money on skins and gliders etc. It's been 5 years and I'm finally addicted.

Theres probably going to make a separate game mode without building. Building is the key to fortnite. Its fun at first without it but after about a week it becomes clear its just knock off warzone without it

Dude holy shit, if they bring this back as a permanent mode I’m actually going to reinstall Fortnite for the first time in literal years. The meme of “shoot kid, he builds [historical structure]” is done to death, but it’s pretty accurate. I just wanna shoot things, not engage in a skyscraper merging battle.

I feel like you should be able to still build ramps because the sand one has curved edges so it hard to climb

I wonder if Macro will release an album with all the songs of his videos

As a person who just started playing today, it feels SO MUCH more casual, like in my first game I was able to get 8-10 kills and got 9th place. It feels so much more beginner friendly.

Man I feel like a pretty good solution here is to get rid of turbo building and revert it to how it was in pre season 4. Where building is more about creating cover rather than building a mansion when shot at.

Macro,you should make a video about you explaining characters from r6 siege

I’m so glad others are starting to see what fortnite is without building because I used to never build and just meme or hide in enemy build and it was great but now no building and omg it’s perfect

I think that introducing a no build mode shows to people what Fortnite has to offer : not only a game for sweaters and pro players, but an amazing game with creative mechanics, amazing style and a lot of fun.( I’m not saying I hate building in Fortnite, i LOVE IT!!)

I’ve been a Fortnite fan since day one but I’ve never been good at building since they removed building I’ve genuinely have had the most fun ever and I’m glad all these people that haven’t played the game in years are coming back to it to be honest this is literally one of the best videos on the Internet at the moment good job macro!

I did that in creative 2y ago with my friends before stopping playing. I might try again the game now.

I never played Fortnite because of building. It adds a layer on the top that you need to understand, master, do it by muscle memory just to counter play a player building around him because he is afraid of gunplay. So you needed to learn retakes ramps 90s and loads of stuff just to access gunplay. In higher level of play, there also is a mindgame layer on the top of that building layer on the top of the gunplay. Tbh, that was too much. With no building you have to learn the gunplay fundamentals : Aiming Positioning Ressources management (ammos, health, shield, time) Flanking And the game feels way smoother and funnier. I do play fortnite only in the no building mode, I faced both beginners and beasts at gunplay, it's really fun to go in a populated place where people have fun in a massive gun fight, we have to think, to move, to flank, to switch weapons, to hide when we need to reload. I'd never thought saying this one day, but Fortnite is really fun
