Epic Games Is Looking Into a 'Fortnite' Respawn Feature
When asked if a respawning feature would ever make its way into Fortnite's battle royale mode, Epic responded "We’ve been considering this mechanic for a while and have been exploring it. Want to make sure we give it the time it needs and fully understand its impact on the game as a whole. Look for further updates during Season 8."
Though Apex Legends definitely doesn't hold your hand, it does encourage team dynamics by allowing for a respawn mechanic. You see your teammate downed? Scoop up their banner and get them to a respawn point. It's definitely better than Fortnite where if you die, you're down for the count no matter what.
Both battle royale titles allow for a small period where a teammate can revive you, though with Fortnite if you remain "knocked out" for too long - you're out for good. It makes the team reliance much more apparent in Apex, which in turn could facilitate a healthier online community in the long run. To see that make its way into Epic Games' free-to-play game would be incredible, especially if done right.

I would love a respawn game mode, I can't stand dying and going back to the main menu every 2 minutes cause the skill level has just increased massively.

Mario350 considering the game was never meant to be a battle royale game and they are just stealing original ideas now, kinda tells me its going to be perma, sure i hate this god damn annoy as hell long ttk ninja will ban you game, but even i think stealing apex's thing that is a titanfall game in universe is a bad idea, the idea doesnt work in anything other than apex imo, unless they are adding this feature to save the world then im 100% on board, but yeah epic china is just stealing original ideas and new takes instead of making their own vision, but yeah maybe an ltm would be worth it but not the whole game, but yeah epic really does need to make their own ideas instead of stealing others imo,
If one never took ones ideas we would never be here.... Arma = H1z1 = PubG = Fortnite = Apex
