Fortnite is no stranger to lifting ideas from other games and incorporating them into its hugely successful battle royale. It looks like the next example of that might be finishing moves, perhaps functioning in a similar way to the ones you can perform in Call of Duty.

According to Hypex, but originally discovered and shared by a10tion and Nova, Epic Games is working on a finishing move mechanic that will let you eliminate knocked opponents in style. So not exactly like sneaking up behind an opponent for an execution like in Call of Duty, but a similar premise that appears to have been inspired by it.

The datamined details about Fortnite finishers reveal that, when performed on a downed opponent, you and the targeted player will cut to a custom animation. Again, similar to Call of Duty, although there are countless games where that’s the case, dating all the way back to the iconic finishers in the original Mortal Kombat games.

There will be multiple animations, which potentially sounds like these are essentially going to be cosmetic items that can be unlocked, giving players the chance to try and obtain rarer finishers than anyone else, similar to everything else you can unlock in Fortnite. Think of them as emotes, except rather than picking and choosing when you perform them, the animations will only ever be activated when you’re adding insult to injury by eliminating a knocked player from the match.

The only other information gleaned from the finishing moves datamine for now is that there will be quests attached to the new mechanic.
