Season 2 Season 2 is set to explode, literally. People looking at the Epic Games have announced the reason behind the delay and that they are moving to the Unreal Engine Chaos Engine that brings massive frame damage, sort of like Battlefield games. Fortnite Chapter 2 will launch on February 20th.
“Chaos physics engine” is a term that encompasses all those physics systems, not a specific set of related objects and also breaks down. Overall, the tech demos are there to stretch the display limits which is why they showed you in the first place. They could show you the same way by showing the trees being torn down or the pachinko machine. Much like how current physics programs involving characters' costumes can be closed and allowed because they have ideas, any implementation of this would be as easy as making cosmetics and increasing them down rather than dictating the gameplay mechanics.
