The new Fortnite patch update is coming in hours and there’s plenty to look forward to. The Battle Royale has been having quite a busy gaming season since the launch of OG Chapter. In fact, the follow-up to Chapter 4 of Fortnite has been monumental. From the highly awaited LEGO collaboration to the Music festival, Epic Games has ensured that players are kept busy in the game. However, there was one aspect that bothered players, which the upcoming patch update will fix.

With every Fortnite update, the makers aim to bring an engaging package of content. But patch number 28.01 would be an innovative update in this context. Despite not having any highlighted new content or pack to speak of, the forthcoming addition is set to make a series of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. And yes, the makers are finally addressing the movement animation systems which the fans have been rooting for a while now.

According to the latest updates, the developers will be addressing the bugs around the in-game movements. Apparently, the 28.01 patch will bring a lot more fluid, dynamic, and detailed animations to the movements. These include the transitions in walking, running, using weapons, and changing directions, most likely all the major details appealing to the Battle Royale fans. Here’s a glimpse of the fixing. 

If the sliding animation concerns you from the clip, you need not worry. This frame was confirmed by the source to include a bug from the server. The motion will supposedly not be looking like this in the normal game.
