The climbing mechanic in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is overpowered

Epic Games introduced parkour in the new season of the Battle Royale game. Players can now mantle on structures and even builds, which helps them climb higher structures. However, when used aggressively, these new mechanics are overpowered.

Okan was in the last phase of his Battle Royale game, and the circle was constantly moving. Only six other enemies were alive, and he had to be the last one surviving.

An intense build battle ensued, with Okan being sandwiched from all angles. However, with the help of parkour and his building skills, the player proved the season might worsen once the combination of building and climbing arrives.

Finding off-angles and creeping up on enemies during build battles has become more manageable. Players can climb on top of incomplete builds and catch their enemies off guard. This is precisely what OkanJack did to secure six kills in a single minute and seal the Victory Royale for himself.


Players have mixed feelings about the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 climbing meta

The clip where a guy kills six enemies in a single minute had to go viral instantly. Fans of Battle Royale on Reddit quickly noticed how smooth OkanJack was with his edits and his climb.

Several users expressed how jealous they were of his skills. However, the general reaction was astonishment towards the Chapter 3 Season 2 meta.

Mantling in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 gives an unfair advantage to the players. It is hard to aim at players when they are mantling over structures. On the other hand, it gives players an edge with their smooth movement.

Naturally, players will rely heavily on climbing once building returns to Fortnite. Regardless of the love that OkanJack’s clip has received, it highlights the fact that climbing will be essential in Chapter 3 Season 2.

Climbing is going to increase the skill gap between players. It is unclear whether Epic Games will nerf climbing or it is something that players will have to adapt to.

However, those who master climbing and are good builders will certainly be much better in the ongoing season.
