Fortnite players are not happy with storm change that just kills you instantly Epic GamesFortnite players are unhappy with changes to the storm mechanics in Fortnite Reload that speed up Storm Sickness and cause instant elimination. The storm is a key feature that drives gameplay. It\u2019s a threat that chips away at your health and forces you to move towards the center of the map. In Reload mode, players are used to the storm gradually shrinking, giving them time to strategize and stay within the Safe Zone. But things have taken a dramatic turn with the latest patch. On August 27, Fortnite announced a new patch for Reload that includes loot changes and adjustments to the Storm Circles. Storm Sickness now activates much faster, which means players have less time to find safety. The developers said they will \u201ccontinue to monitor Storm Circles in Reload and ensure that things remain fun and action-packed.\u201d However, players are not pleased with this update. One player noted on Reddit, \u201cIt\u2019s kinda annoying that you just straight up die. You don\u2019t even have a timer, so you can\u2019t know how much time you can stay in storm.\u201d Another pointed out, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t go away. So if you touch the storm for a second, even at 100 health, you instantly die.\u201d Some players think the change goes too far. \u201cI get preventing heal offs, but that\u2019s a bit extreme,\u201d one said. \u201cSomething like a fifteen tick, or twenty tick is a little tamer if you want to go for extreme, but still let players access the storm for a few seconds.\u201d A \u201chealoff\u201d strategy is when players camp in the storm, chugging health kits to outlast opponents in the endgame. Epic Games enforced this insta-kill Storm Sickness to send a clear message: sitting outside the storm with a backpack full of med-kits isn\u2019t how they want the game played. However, players have made it clear they find the dev\u2019s solution excessive. Despite the storm changes, Reload mode remains popular. It\u2019s the preferred mode of Fortnite streamer Ninja, who called the current chapter \u201cfor losers.\u201d If you\u2019re curious about all the changes in Reload, check out the full patch notes for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
