This has made several keyboards and mouse users furious. Here’s everything you need to know about what is double movement in Fortnite and why Epic removed it.
What is Double Movement in Fortnite?

Why Epic Removed Double Movement From Fortnite?
There is no confirmation on why Epic took this decision. In fact, communication on the decision has not even been taken to any social media platforms. However, angry fans have shown their anger and disgrace on social media.
There are only speculations about why Epic arrived at this decision, or there are even chances that this might have been unintentional. Yes, you read that right. It can be a possible bug of the newly released patch v14.50. However, this is very unlikely because if that would have been the case then developers would have shared information on it after the huge chaos on social media.
One possibility here can be the 2019s World Cup Solo Championship. The winner of the championship Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf revealed that he used plastic and duct tapes to modify his keyboard for seamless double movement usage. This led to several people accusing him of cheating in the championship. The revelation from the champion can possibly a reason for Epic to remove the double movement from Fortnite. However, it is just a possibility and there is no confirmation given on the same by the developers.
