Fortnite fans can\u2019t believe Epic Games VP\u2019s favorite in-game items Epic GamesEpic Games\u2019 co-founder and Vice President Mark Rein has surprised some of the Fortnite community after revealing his three favorite items in-game \u2013 with the list including the very controversial Hand Cannon and planes. During the game\u2019s lifespan, Fortnite fans have spoken out about weapons and items that they don\u2019t particularly enjoy and may be viewed as potentially game-breaking \u2013 with the Hand Cannon being a target for plenty of criticism. However, during a recent Q&A session on Twitter, Rein upset a few folks with his comments about a couple of the weapons and items that may or may not annoy many players. Rein responded to a fan asking him if the game\u2019s developers listened to the communities critiques on items, particularly the X-4 Stormwings, Hand Cannon and RPG\u2019s, and if any of those would be nerfed or placed in the vault \u2013 removing it from the game entirely. In a now-deleted tweet, Rein replied: \u201cDarn, those are three of my favorite things in the game right now!\u201d He also added a purple devil emoji \u2013 make of that what you will. The tweet, which has been deleted, sparked plenty of reaction on Social Media, especially on the FortniteBR subreddit. Fans questioned whether Rein played the game his company developed because of his comments \u2013 missing what may have been a joky response from the Epic Games VP. It\u2019s not just casual players who are upset with the controversial Hand Cannon, even professional players have spoken about the Desert Eagle-like weapon. On February 6, Team SoloMid\u2019s Jimmy \u2018HighDistortion\u2019 Moreno tweeted he would not be streaming Fortnite until the gun was removed. \u201cNo Fortnite until the Desert Eagle [Hand Cannon] is vaulted,\u201d he posted.
