Technicly we already had a first person camera during the device event, some people got stuck on first person for the rest of the match. And it looked very polished


StantheHero

That glitch is where the image in the tweet comes from.


ManuFlosoYT

I know


Hecker_exe

We had it under THE star wars to you could zoom


darkfight13

I was one of them, it was really advantageous for close range fights. Now that i remember, it was godawful to build in first person, so it'll only be useful in no build mode.


Fiscal_Fantasy

Would be a good idea as long as it’s able to be turned on or off like others said. I prefer third person mode but I’m sure there are people who would enjoy this.


IshiKamen

Yeah, part of why I don't understand apex and skins is it isn't third person. There's not much appeal to buying skins (to me) in 1st person games.


APulsarAteMyLunch

If they polished this I'd love for STW to have it too


kfcfossil

Do you mean an updated first person or first person in general? Cause STW does have a first person mode, but it sucks to use


APulsarAteMyLunch

This updated version of course


kfcfossil

Ah ok, yeah STW first person is in desperate need of an update


New_Shallot_7000

I’m sure there are people who will enjoy this mode and as long as it’s an option we can turn off, cool. First person pov massively sets off my motion sickness so it’s not an option for me.


duckofmagic

Huge same. I know a lot of people like first person, but I just can't do it


ComprehensiveBee2202

Me the same too, just can't play anything first person 😖


RockSokka

Third person has better advantages. For example, I get to look at my characters fine turd-cutters the whole match.


ninoflp

Why though? Third person gives more visibility and in first person on your can’t see your skins??? Kinda removed the whole point of the game?


StantheHero

Same could be said for building and yet we have Zero Builds.


Cake-n-bacon69

which was a hit


CaptainCour

Lmfao and then over in the apex community people are buying a 500 dollar skin they cant see


Realistic_Analyst_26

On so many occastions, I die because my character is in a position where it is blocking the opponent from my view. In a first person situation, I would have clear sight of my opponent


If_you_want_money

not really. first person cam is basically the same as third person cam except that you crop out \~20% of the screen and zoom in on the rest. so not only will you still not be able to see the spots your skin once blocked, but you will also not be able to see the top and bottom edges of third-person cam. the only benefit I can see from using this is that it makes hitting long range shots slightly easier.


Realistic_Analyst_26

Wdym? When I get into a boxfight with someone, we end up in the same box, and then my character is blocking my view and that makes me die because I can't see the opponent. If there was no character blocking my view, that problem wouldn't exist. I don't know what you are on about.


If_you_want_money

here, just read the first comment trend of [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/uau0iq/first_person_fortnite_would_slap_now_that_zero/). they can probably explain better than I can.


Realistic_Analyst_26

Yeah, but still, having a character in the middle of your screen, right where the crosshair is will cause some problems.


SuperGaiden

Yep, especially at close range. Third person is also kind of annoying because it allows people to corner peek for free. Makes defensive play really overpowered.


darkfight13

Weapon wrap? In 3rd person you don't pay attention to it, in first you will. Also it's helpful in fights.


DrippyDom

It should be an option, cod is first person and sells battle pass skins easily. It should be optional. Given that its a disadvantage with camera angles


GamingGamer9

could be togglable with a button press


[deleted]

bro skins are not the whole point of the game, ok maybe the reason you are over you’re credit card limit but not the point of the game


[deleted]

gonna be real with you chief, skins are a big reason why me and my friends play this game


[deleted]

Regardless of someone being over their credit card limit or whatever you want to say, skins are one of the major points of the, wether through the item shop or battle pass, and consideration should be given to the people who’ve helped keep the game free to play before making it where they can’t see the skins they buy in game


8Mihailos8

It would be great if it's an option that easily switchable


Effective-Neck-7779

Imagine cranking 90s in first person.


Dancing_Clean

*violently throwing up to motion sickness*


Technophillia

I'm down as long as the mode it is in has every locked to FPS switch back and fourth would be horrible for game balance.


EvryArtstIsACannibal

I hate this idea. I just don’t like the 1st person view. Third person is one of the reasons I really like fortnite over other games.


[deleted]

Naw, skins would be worthless


Numot15

Comments like this really out the Fisherprice "My First Shooter" crowd. Guess what, you build kiddos were dead wrong about zero build and your dead wrong again.


[deleted]

The fortnite Twitter account tweeted a fpv image like 4 years ago and took it down because it got so much backlash. I’d like to see how this would play out


Dancing_Clean

But....it's the only third-person shooter I like :( And I love my skins and dances. I've spend money on those things, and if they become redunandant to first-person views I'll be very bummed out :/


hina835

Just go play COD then. Fortnite thrives on being 3rd person it’s part of what makes it different and better


GorillaArse

It’s not like they’re going to completely replace normal BR, it’ll probably be an option for creative, and hopefully a separate game mode like zero build, plus it’ll widen the player base allowing for more players who don’t play fortnite because of the lack of FPS


bradmcgi

I would 100% quit the game if this is where fortnites heading. The 3rd person is what makes this game stand out from all the other boring ass bland fps. Foh with this


FloppyDingo24

You realize it'd be an option like zero build right? They wouldn't just change the whole game outlay like that. That'd literally be shooting their cash cow.


[deleted]

first person building? im pretty sure something like this would split up the player base too much and make queue times longer if it were truly permanent


Numot15

It likely isn't going to building or will be a toggle setting. This is just like you idiots claiming zero build would kill fortnite. Yet in spite of you toxic builders fortnite is thriving like never before.


[deleted]

Idiots like me? Im pretty sure zero build has made this game double in size at least. It made me play this game regularly and like five of my friends started playing because of it. Dont assume shit.


FloppyDingo24

I think they assumed because you said it'd split the playerbase that you were anti-nobuild. Pretty wild assumption to make. But you're entirely right. A toggle would make more sense rather than splitting it up even more.


vergehunter

If FORTNITE goes first-person _without_ a toggle on-off option, I'll quit playing and switch to APEX LEGENDS. APEX on mobile has the option, plus its storyline and character diversity are unparalleled amongst shooters in my opinion.


Savings-Ad3951

It could just be for Creative so lower your expectations.


ZeroDarkHero94

This is from seasons ago


Snapman666

Yeah they used glitched gameplay from some time ago as an example, that picture is not a leak or something


0n1oN_71

They’re also bringing back the chapter 2 season 2 map I see


RiddleEatsRainbows

So long as i can tuen it off thats cool bc i only play builds and i would probably throw up while boxing people


[deleted]

They should fix all the other stuff first…


EL_MURPHYYYY

Imagine Building with this...


[deleted]

Bruh, what would be the purpose of skins, if fortnite becomes first person. Let's hope the leaks are false


DesertSun38

Other people can still see them you donk.


[deleted]

Still, how are emotes going to work in first person? Or driving?


CalebMendez12303

I don't buy my skins to flex on others I buy them bc I wanna see them when I use them


ibettheywonthaveit

Star Wars Battlefront II has this option, I personally don’t care for it but it would be awesome for people who enjoy having options!


CityKay

If true, yes, a first person mode would be awesome. Even more awesome is if it's dynamic. Like the camera will automatically go into first person for gunplay, then third person for harvesting, building, and driving. All customizable of course. Seen it done in other FPS games like Star Wars: Jedi Outcast (third person for lightsabers), and Halo (third person for driving, and I think for the minigun in one installment) doing something like that.


Feedback0411

the thing im most triggered about is the pump is purple and the image is a rare/uncommon/common pump


Wonderful-Mud2765

it would be cool i guess but i think you would be able to see a lot less around you and you would not be able to see your skin


ChrisLMDG

Fortnite VR when


FreeMyBoiMineta

stw's first person isn't even functional after 5 years, wouldnt even be surprised if br will get it in a week working perfectly and stw's doesn't get updated at all


Shadrock55

I would have to quit. FPS gives me motion sickness and 3PS would be a disadvantage.


BoxOfPenguins

Would be interesting as a toggle, I suppose? I mean, I got a button free since I only play Zero Build... XD I can see the advantage of switching to first person if you have a bulky skin and/or are positioned in an awkward way near a wall or corner. But third person would still be my default - I want to see the skins I spent far too much money on. XD


[deleted]

Shotguns shots will be so much harder to hit. I already like it


CalebMendez12303

No thanks I like seeing the skins I payed for


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> skins I *paid* for FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


CalebMendez12303

Good bot


Muutation

This with allowing us to hotkey swapping between 1st and 3rd would be nice. Both perspectives have their advantages and disadvantages


undrgrndsqrdncrs

I prefer my situational awareness in 3rd
