Chapter 5 Season 4 dropped an array of Marvel-themed items on the Island, one of which included War Machine\u2019s Hover Jets. Once equipped, the jetpack lets players zip through the air at high speeds and change the tide of battle. However, Fortnite players slammed the item for feeling overpowered. Epic Games responded by issuing nerfs that greatly impacted the jetpack\u2019s fuel consumption, reduced its speed, and lowered the spawn rate. Some users still think the item needs more fine-tuning, though. As such, one person presented the idea of Epic potentially bringing back the Chains of Hades from Chapter 5 Season 2. A Redditor has argued that the Season 2 Chains would act as the \u201cideal jetpack counter,\u201d given how effective they were against the high-flying Wings of Icarus Mythic. Others think Epic should take the Chains one step further, though. Instead of bringing the tool back with its Greek Myth theme, it could be overhauled with a Ghost Rider-inspired redesign to match the ongoing Marvel crossover. The developers could even \u201cintroduce it as Ghost Rider mythic chains or Omega Red \u2018tentacle\u2019 thing,\u201d one fan proposed in the thread. For now, though, there\u2019s nothing to suggest that the Chains of Hades or Ghost Rider content will become available in Fortnite anytime soon. Players will just have to find other ways to counter Fortnite\u2019s jetpack problem. Interestingly enough, users have come up with one \u201cevil\u201d trick that addresses War Machine\u2019s Hover Jets \u2013 finding and hiding them from other players. If and when Epic will deploy more solutions presently remains unknown, but the jetpack won\u2019t be around forever. Developers will likely vault the Mythic when Chapter 5 Season 4 ends on November 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players want this weapon to return as \u201cperfect\u201d counter to \u201cOP\u201d jetpacks Epic GamesFortnite players think one early Chapter 5 weapon should return as the \u201cperfect\u201d counter to overpowered jetpacks in Season 4.
