FULL STORY
======================================================================

Its the update that so many Fortnite players have been waiting for - movement 
speed while running and crouching has been increased, meaning youll now be 
able to charge around the Chapter Five map faster than ever before. 

Earlier this month, with the launch of Fortnite Chapter Five: Season One, 
players were quick to point out that the games movement felt very different, 
and not everyone was a huge fan of it. Addressing this on Twitter / X on 
December 4, the official Fortnite account explained that while sideways and 
backward movement was faster, crouching, running and sprinting was slower 
(although players stamina bars recovered faster). 

A couple of days after this, the team added that it was currently exploring a 
few options to speed things up while keeping the fresh, new animations, and 
this latest update has done just that. Outlined in a post on the Fortnite 
blog, its been revealed that alongside the movement speed changes, camera 
movement has been reduced, the view players see when they start sprinting has 
been altered, and animations have been tweaked to match the new speeds, too. 
Its worth noting that every players Custom Diagonal Movement settings have 
been reset following the latest update, so be sure to check those if youve 
altered them before. 

Otherwise, several other key changes have been rolled out, too. Some areas of 
the map that were considered to be too dark at night have been brightened 
(the blog post hasnt specified which have been altered), and the edge of the 
Storm circle should now be easier to see. The weapon icons for the Frenzy 
Auto Shotgun and the Thunder Burst SMG have been tweaked so that theyre 
easier to differentiate, too. 

Importantly, the map icons for Society Medallions (which players can earn by 
defeating certain boss NPCs, and then equip to regenerate their Shield 
points) should now stand out more, and visual noise on the mini-map - which 
built up as several players with Medallions were stood close together - has 
been reduced. 

Downtime for this update is over, so players can dive in right now and try 
out the changes for themselves.
