Fortnite switches things up at the start of every season. In Chapter 4 Season 3, the rumored Jungle Biome was added alongside Raptors and Mud. New weapons, such as the Cybertron Cannon and Kinetic Boomerang, were added to the loot pool as well. At first, this made the community more than happy, but with the passing of time and limited in-game changes, things have come to a grinding halt.
The one issue that players have been constantly battling is the lack of mobility. While certain Reality Augments can be used to get around the map quickly when used in conjunction with Grind Vines, many believe that it is lackluster. As such, the community is asking Epic Games to reconsider adding mobility items - not just to make the game feel better, but for practical reasons as well.
"Why doesn't Epic Games add rotation items anymore?" - The Fortnite community speaks, but will they be heard?

With the Jungle Biome being located smack dab in the middle of the map, there's no way to avoid it when having to go from the Ice/Frozen Biome to the Medieval Biome. While it can be argued that players can just go around the biome, it's not the same thing since it would take significantly longer to do so. What's the solution to this problem? The answer is simple - mobility items.
While Grind Vines, Reality Augments, Hop Flowers, and Geyser are good for mobility, they are fixed. Without the ability to use them on a whim, they become situational mobility items. Unless and until a player is in the area that has a particular mobility item, it has no utility.
Having said that, a user by the name of kweox posted that Epic Games should bring back portable versions of a few mobility items. Things like Launch Pads and Bouncers would make a fine addition to the loot pool and allow players to rotate from high-ground to low-ground with ease. Other items, such as Rift-To-Go, would allow players to get out of any sticky situation at a moment's notice. Here's what the community has to say:
As seen from the comments, most users/players are in agreement that Epic Games needs to add more mobility items to the loot pool, even if they could only be obtained by purchasing them from NPCs in exchange for Gold. Simply having the option is more than enough. How players are able to use that option would be up to them.
Will Fortnite give the players what they want? Well, not likely, here's why
While the Fortnite community has a lot of demands, Epic Games will probably not do anything about it. This does not mean that they don't listen to feedback, it's just that with Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 barely a month away, changes are not likely to get implemented this season. However, this does not mean that things will get better in time. On the contrary, mobility items will be getting nerfed in a huge way.
According to veteran Fortnite leaker/data miner iFireMonkey, following the recent update, players will not be able to use two 'high mobility' items at once. For the time being, this pertains to the Kinetic Blade and Grapple Gloves. However, in the future, other mobility items will likely be given this tag as well. While this may seem like a good thing, the community is not happy with it.
That being said, it's yet to be implemented in Fortnite and may be limited to certain modes or LTMs. The reason is that using two or more mobility items together could limit Epic's ability to load a level. All said and done, it would seem that mobility items are becoming a thing of the past. Players will have to learn to adjust to the map changes and learn to follow specific routes to rotate with ease.
