CouRage mocks Epic Games\u2019 decision making on their own livestream Twitch star Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop took shots at Epic Games\u2019 recent decision making, while he casting the World Cup qualifiers on their official live stream. The former OpTic Gaming member was hired as an official caster for the upcoming Fortnite World Cup, but referenced the recent controversial changes made by Epic Games, which have upset top streamers and professional players, during the live broadcast. Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney have both pleaded with the developer to re-vault the overpowered drum gun after the community voted to bring it back to the game, while other weapons such as the pump shotgun were unexpectedly removed from the loot pool. CouRage specifically referenced the removal of the pump shotgun \u2013 which caused outrage in the community \u2013 after watching a player fail to utilize the new combat variant effectively. While the new weapon has increased fire rate and range compared to the pump, it isn\u2019t capable of hitting 200 damage shots meaning players on low health points are no longer able to hit clutch shots during hectic end games. \u201cRight there is the difference between the combat shotgun and the pump. If I had a pump, there could have been a slight chance of a 200 damage one shot. \u201cBut a combat shotgun right there, you just have no shot.\u201d The ex-Call of Duty caster continued to fire shots at Epic\u2019s recent choices \u2013 particularly the re-addition of the semi-automatic sniper rifle. CouRage suggested that Epic should implement a \u2018weapon eater\u2019 NPC that would rid the game of useless and overpowered weapons. He said: \u201cIt eats up weapons \u2013 the drum gun and semi-auto sniper \u2013 and spits back out the pump shotgun!\u201d While their recent choices may be unpopular, as shown in the past, it\u2019s unlikely that Epic Games will revert any of the recent changes any time soon. For now, players will have to continue to adapt to the newly added weapons while the pump lays dormant in the vault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
