Competitive Fortnite players upset after 'casuals' get no-build mode permanently

Yesterday, the Fortnite v20.00 update introduced a controversial change to the game. Zero Build was officially introduced after Fortnite controversially removed building for the first portion of Chapter 3 Season 2. The difference was a big thing, but many players weren't concerned since it would only be gone for a little while.No-build modes are here to stay, and some players are not too pleased with that decision. The latest debate is an offshoot of the sweats vs casuals debate, which seems never-ending.Competitive players have taken to social media to air out their frustrations with the mode being made permanent. Here's what they had to say.Competitive Fortnite gamers are frustrated with the addition of Zero BuildThe removal of building has completely changed the dynamic of the game. It was a distinct advantage for those who built aggressively over those who didn't. The latter often avoided the former altogether when it came to combat situations.NRG Zayt@zaytI see a lot of people enjoy Fortnite without builds yet havent seen 1 player that CAN build enjoy it :/11:02 AM · Mar 22, 2022566280I see a lot of people enjoy Fortnite without builds yet havent seen 1 player that CAN build enjoy it :/The lack of building stripped away everything and made the game solely about combat, which many non-building players are good at. When a player isn't cranking 90s and building a fortress to kick off a fight, the fight is a lot fairer.The season kicked off without building (Image via Epic Games)However, for those who do build, the change took away a considerable part of their game and frustrated them. It frustrates them even more to see that Epic Games &quot;caved&quot; and gave the &quot;casuals&quot; their own mode.G2 MackWood@MackWood1xAll im sayin is casuals love no building and it gets its own mode the next WEEK, comp players love late game arena, never seen again11:19 AM · Mar 29, 20225636210All im sayin is casuals love no building and it gets its own mode the next WEEK, comp players love late game arena, never seen againIt's not an invalid frustration for them to have, given that the mode they liked wasn't added back, and it seems like Zero Build is here to stay. However, since Zero Build is likely only going to be an alternative mode, the main game should remain unaffected.LAZAR@LazarbeamNo building in fortnite is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity11:00 AM · Mar 21, 202236371916No building in fortnite is the worst thing to ever happen to humanityHowever, it is undoubtedly frustrating to feel unheard by anyone, especially the company that thrives off these players.ERA@Erasii_all these casuals asking for the no-build mode to be a permanent game mode are delusional we have been asking for late-game arena to be a permanent mode for almost a year and they don't listen what makes you think there gonna listen to you? @FNCompetitive @FortniteGame12:29 PM · Mar 22, 20221all these casuals asking for the no-build mode to be a permanent game mode are delusional we have been asking for late-game arena to be a permanent mode for almost a year and they don't listen what makes you think there gonna listen to you? @FNCompetitive @FortniteGameSweats have been telling casuals to &quot;get good&quot; at the game for a long time as casuals have complained about having to face sweats in-game. Epic Games has now offered a potential solution with separate game modes, but the debate seems far from over.KNG Khanada@KhanadaThe things I would do for bubble wrap builds back4:01 AM · Mar 26, 202289720The things I would do for bubble wrap builds backIt has been a frustrating season for a lot of players, including Aussie Antics.NRG Aussie Antics@AussieAnticsI just woke up.

If Zero Build was ever to be removed, other players would be frustrated and may quit playing again. That's probably not something Epic Games wants to experience, though.
