Fortnite players divided over Mammoth Pistol nerf Epic GamesThe latest Fortnite patch added balance adjustments that nerf the Mammoth Pistol, a change that seems pretty polarizing among players. Epic Games brought the Mammoth Pistol to Fortnite in Patch 25.20, introducing a new weapon that could obliterate foes in just one shot. To the surprise of no one, the arguably overpowered pistol quickly proved divisive amongst players. Some argued that the weapon \u201ccompletely broke the game,\u201d especially since its high damage with headshots and body shots could pretty much bring anyone to their knees. Others felt that despite being overpowered, the Mammoth Pistol still counted as a fun addition to the game. And many on both sides of the argument agreed it needed a balance adjustment. However, the reaction from the community suggests Epic\u2019s recent changes may have gone a bit too far. Fortnite players torn over nerf to OP Mammoth Pistol After rolling out Fortnite Update 25.30, Epic announced that some adjustments were made to the Mammoth Pistol. The pistol now deals \u201cslightly reduced damage at long distances,\u201d as well as \u201cslightly reduced headshot damage,\u201d the developer revealed on social media. Responses to the above post indicate some Fortnite fans are more than pleased with this update. Wrote one user, \u201cGreat changes. A slight reduction in spawn rate would also be awesome!\u201d Said someone else, \u201cthank god it was busted AF \u2013 definitely died randomly to this weapon.\u201d Meanwhile, there are those who think Epic should take things a step further by removing Fortnite\u2019s Mammoth Pistol outright. \u201cJust remove it,\u201d reads one replay. \u201cHahahahahaha remove this thing,\u201d says another.\u201d Several responses show the player reaction is mixed at best, however. Replies to the Fortnite Status tweet are filled with comments saying, \u201cL,\u201d asking \u201cwhy,\u201d and wondering how some could be happy about the news. The comment section on a similar post from Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR appears to feature more fans who are upset about the adjustments. \u201cCan\u2019t allow a gun to be good, I guess,\u201d reads a tweet from one person. A different post says, \u201cThis weapon was literally the best addition to the game, and now it\u2019s useless. Kudos to the developers for spoiling the fun.\u201d It\u2019ll be interesting to see how the Mammoth Pistol fares in the long run compared to Fortnite\u2019s other newly added weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
