Every season, Fortnite introduces new weapons and items to the Battle Royale while occasionally bringing back the ones from the past. This helps shake things up in the game, as it often leads to a different meta depending on the loot pool available that season. While that\u2019s the case, this also means that your favorite weapon in the season won\u2019t always be around forever. There might come a time when they\u2019ll eventually get vaulted, and nobody knows when they\u2019ll be coming back. Regarding this, Fortnite players have gathered in a Reddit thread to discuss which weapon they want back in the game. One of them are the Chrome weapons introduced in Chapter 3, Season 4. For the uninitiated, these aren\u2019t like most weapons you\u2019d find in the game. Other weapons are set in a certain rarity when you loot them. Chrome weapons, however, initially belong to the Uncommon rarity when you first pick them up. Here\u2019s the catch. As you deal more damage with these weapons, you can upgrade them to a higher rarity. So, for example, even though you pick up an Uncommon EvoChrome rifle at the start of the match, you\u2019ll likely end up with a Mythic one at the end of the game \u2013 assuming you\u2019re getting kills and enough damage. Since they were first introduced, no other weapon has had the same mechanic as Chrome weapons, and now players want them back. One user claimed they\u2019re \u201camazing\u201d to which another replied, \u201cGenuinely miss them. The progression of making them stronger made me play more aggressively and made me a better player. They were solid weapons.\u201d Another user wrote: \u201cI hate how they were a gimmick to that specific season and not a returning weapon. Changing rarity as they got more damage was so engaging. That season as a whole had great mechanics I just didn\u2019t like the map all that much at the time.\u201d Meanwhile, another user said they were \u201ca great equalizer for playstyles.\u201d They explained, \u201cYou had to use them to level up or kill someone and get theirs. You couldn\u2019t just camp, get lucky, and find a Mythic.\u201d \u201cEpic needs to add more weapons like that,\u201d one chimed in. Fortnite is known to bring back past weapons, so there might be a chance we\u2019ll see this weapon return in the future. For now, players can look forward to welcoming the next season with a new live event in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players call for \u201cgimmick\u201d weapons with engaging mechanic to return epic gamesWhile Fortnite has tons of weapons, players want these \u201cgimmick\u201d weapons to return due to their \u201cengaging\u201d mechanic that offers a different playstyle than usual.
