Fortnite has been in the spotlight for a significant time in the past month. With new content released almost every week, fans are ecstatic to see what the game offers. Fortunately for you, if you are a fan, there is now more to look forward to.
These leaks are not the most major, but they definitely introduce a very cool mechanic if you are a player who loves to buy cosmetics in Fortnite. Let’s have a look at what exactly you’ll find here.
The Hype
If you are a die-hard fan of the popular Battle Royale game, Fortnite, then you probably know why it is so popular. However, if you don’t know, not to worry. Fortnite is working on releasing Chapter 3, Season 4 of their game which offers a plethora of new features and characters for you to enjoy.
It is also adding a bunch of new locations you can explore in the new regions soon to be released. Furthermore, two new guns, EvoChrome Shotgun and the EvoChrome Burst Rifle, are also making their grand debut in Fortnite.
If you think that Fortnite is done at just that, I’m afraid you’d be wrong. Just yesterday, it was confirmed that the highlight of Paradise’s battle pass is the exclusive Spider Gwen skin. It is something I’m excited about. Now lets us see what the newest addition to season 3 is.
Key Takeaways
- New Fortnite cosmetic mechanic for players to enjoy
- New features like “Boost” and “Idle” are also making their way into the game
- A new item is being added called the “Saddler.”
New Mechanics
Just recently we at TopTierList spotted the Twitter User @Hypex releasing a statement highlighting some of the new features being added to Fortnite. Hypex is known to contribute a lot to building the “Hype” around many games, but as of recently, their main concern has been Fortnite. In this Tweet, Hypex explains key features of what the new season will bring.
FORTNITE ARE WORKING ON RIDEABLE FLYING ANIMALS 🔥
You will be able to Boost & Idle. And it's most likely what that "Saddle" gappler-looking item is for.

Firstly, for all you flexors out there, Fortnite is adding a brand new cosmetic option in the game, Flying Animals. Fortnite has never held back in giving its players the best of the best cosmetic options in any game. It does not disappoint here either because, as the tweet says, new reliable animals are being added to the game. Personally, I prefer they would add a Dragon or a Pheonix but for the time being, let’s see how it does in implementation.
Secondly, it details the new item, the “Saddler.” It has been actively sought out ever since it was announced. Hypex does suggest that it may have something to do with “Boost” and “Idle” mechanics, which have yet to be seen. At the moment, not much is known about these features, but I think it is safe to say that it seems cool. With that in mind, It is also best to look at some of the player responses.
Player’s Response
Even though the Tweet has not been active for a while, users are expressing mixed opinions about this release. These responses can be found in the thread linked above but are briefly discussed here. Some suggest that this leak was too overhyped and was not worth their time. Others think that this is not a good mechanic, to begin with.
However, some seem especially ecstatic to see these features implemented in the game. I will have to side with the third category of users. It may sound dull in theory, but Fortnite has a reputation for pulling off some of the best cosmetic and game features in any of the current Battle Royale games.
Finally, it is fair that I should also include a special minority of gamers. These are the gamers who are just sad that they won’t be able to afford all of this awesome stuff. As a gamer, I feel their pain and hope they win it through some giveaway.
