Even though the Fortnite battle royale mode is all about player vs player combat, over the different seasons, Epic Games have added NPC characters to throw an additional threat into the mix. With the start of Chapter 2, Season 3, the groups of Marauders descended on Fortnite to deal damage to players. The groups have different types of enemies \u2013 some who prefer to do damage up close, and those that stand at range and hit players with their deadeye abilities. Though they can be pretty harmless at times, players have been getting incredibly annoyed with the NPCs \u2013 with some, like Dakotaz, even deciding to just quit out of games instead of being taken down by them. Dakotaz had recent games ruined by the disruption of the Marauders, with some pushing him while he was healing in a house. He was even sniped out of the air by another group which caused him to vent. \u201cThis is so bad. How do they think that\u2019s a good thing?\u201d the streamer asked while waiting for a new match. \u201cI\u2019m not even angry, I\u2019m just baffled at how they even think that\u2019s a good thing in the game. Dude, some of these devs are brainless, I\u2019m telling you man.\u201d Dakotaz also noted that the NPCs \u201caggro you too heavily\u201d as they don\u2019t care about the distance between you and them. He isn\u2019t alone in his criticism though. A compilation from DailyClipsCentral compiles reactions from others too. Fortnite World Cup champion Bugha called them \u201cdumb\u201d after being pushed by a group. \u201cWhy are there Marauders in the game?\u201d he asked after being eliminated by the Marauders. \u201cLike, why is my entire game griefed because they spawn on me?\u201d Bugha also labeled them as \u201cannoying\u201d given that he\u2019d waited for half-an-hour to find a game, only to be eliminated by the NPCs and not an actual enemy. Given that NPC enemies were brought back into the mix with the start of the previous season and given a big part to play, it\u2019s unlikely that Epic Games will be getting rid of them anytime soon. Players will have to follow the lead of others and try their best to avoid the enemies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bugha &#038; Dakotaz hit out at \u201cbrainless\u201d Fortnite devs over Marauders Reddit: ThatPumpkinHookTop Fortnite players Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf and Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman have vented their dismay at having their games disrupted by the Marauders NPCs, with Dakotaz calling the devs \u201cbrainless\u201d for introducing them.
