Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, dubbed Absolute Doom, introduced a host of mythic weapons hoping to delight players. The lineup promised by the patch notes included the Dual Micro SMGs, the Monarch Pistol, and the Sovereign Shotgun. You can find two out of these three items in Marvel-inspired points of interest on the map. However, things went awry when it became clear the mythic Dual Micro SMGs were missing. Fortnite players vented on Reddit after discovering the Dual Micro SMGs were absent from the game. They also found that Gwenpool, the NPC who should drop them, wasn\u2019t in Fortnite either. The only interaction with her was through a hidden mission, and even then, no SMGs. According to players, other crucial details were also missing from the patch notes. Items such as armored walls, flowberries, and chug splashes appear in-game yet went without mention in the release notes for Season 4. \u201cThe patch notes were a complete mess,\u201d one player fumed. \u201cThey didn\u2019t mention major changes, and now we\u2019re left with a weapon that doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d Another user criticized Epic\u2019s misleading previews. \u201cShowing a minigun in the island preview but not mentioning that C4 was unvaulted last season is incredibly frustrating,\u201d they said. The discontent reflects broader issues with Epic\u2019s recent updates. \u201cEpic\u2019s approach to rolling out new weapons is confusing,\u201d remarked a player. \u201cIntroducing the mini gun and the lock-on rocket launcher earlier would have been a better move.\u201d The last Fortnite season, Chapter 5 Season 3, received such poor reviews that both fans and popular streamers, including Ninja, called it \u201cthe worst season ever.\u201d Ninja was also critical of the current season, raging during a stream that he was \u201cgoing to CoD\u201d instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite developer keeps teasing a non-existent mythic weapon and players are furious Dexerto\/Epic GamesEpic Games has frustrated Fortnite players by hyping up a mythic weapon in the patch notes, only for it to not be in the game.
