DrLupo claims Fortnite\u2019s rate of fire is directly affected by your FPS [Epic Responds] UPDATE \u2013 January 22, 2019 Following DrLupos findings regarding FPS and rate of fire in Fortnite, Epic Games responded and confirmed that they are investigating a fix for the important issue. Hey Lupo! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’re aware of this issue and are investigating a fix for it. \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) January 22, 2019 Benjamin \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo has been conducting tests in Fortnite and claims that FPS can directly impact the rate of fire in weapons. The popular streamer has shared the results of a test to his followers on Twitter, where he was trying to see if fire rate issues which are currently being found in PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds also exist in Fortnite. Using the submachine gun, he fired at a wall with two different rates of FPS and the results were quite shocking. Playing two clips side-by-side, Lupo showed the fire rate of the weapon in both 300 FPS and 30 FPS and it was clear to see that the former was significantly quicker. \u201cIn my opinion \u2013 in a majority of engagements \u2013 it won\u2019t matter. But, the fact that it might matter in a competitive environment is an issue\u201d Lupo tweeted. \u201cI\u2019m also curious to know if it affects building, editing, etc.\u201d Because of a Reddit post about FPS vs Rate of Fire in PUBG, I did a test in @FortniteGame because they both run on the same engine. (UE4) FPS directly affects the Rate of Fire of guns.

The initial experiment was sparked by a post which has been doing the rounds on Reddit, which shows a \u201cwildly\u201d fluctuating rate of fire in PUBG, depending on a player\u2019s FPS. With both games running on Unreal Engine 4, Lupo conducted the tests and was shocked to find that there was also a difference when playing Epic Games\u2019 battle royale game. The question is, will the developer verify and respond to the issue any time soon? In my opinion \u2013 in a majority of engagements, it won’t matter. But the fact that it MIGHT matter in a competitive environment is an issue. I’m also curious to know if it affects building, editing, etc. \u2014 DrLupo (@DrLupo) January 21, 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
