Fortnite players complain about snipers being \u201cway too powerful\u201d in Chapter 5 Epic GamesFortnite players are not happy with how good snipers are in Chapter 5, making countless threads and videos voicing their frustrations. Fortnite\u2018s Chapter 5, Season 1 has been live for a little a month, shattering records, introducing three new modes, and adding zany crossovers. In the battle royale portion of the game, a new weapon mod system and movement mechanics headline the wave of new changes. Not every new feature has been well-received by players, such as the maligned Ballistic Shield. That said, it\u2019s the sniper rifles that have been an overwhelming topic of ire, with Fortnite players going mad at how good they\u2019ve become. Fortnite player voices widespread sniper outrage To be fair, sniper rifles always present a balancing issue in gaming. Warzone is going through its fair share of issues, ironically, with sniper rifles being one of them. This season of Fortnite seemingly has created a monster with sniper rifles for many reasons. The weapon mod system lets players deck out their snipers in the most unfair way possible by removing the scope, for example. They can also one-shot you, and while it\u2019s technically \u201crealistic,\u201d blending realism into a video game is a fine line. If you play Zero Build, you may as well leave the lobby if you see a sniper. Check the game\u2019s subreddit, and you\u2019ll see numerous posts around sniper nerfs in Fortnite. Fortnite player Micawavetv shared their Chapter 5 experience, and as expected, it\u2019s a small sniping montage. The catch? It\u2019s not their sniping, it\u2019s the enemies sniping him. \u201cSniping is too easy,\u201d Micawavetv said, as he showed 90 seconds of himself getting headshot sniped or immediately downed. In fairness, Micawave\u2019s clips are him in the open challenging players, which plenty of the replies to his clip pointed out. On the other hand, he perfectly captures the issue with snipers in Fortnite\u2019s Chapter 5, as snipers have become oppressive. One comment pointed out another alarming issue that\u2019s gone under the radar: \u201cIf you are getting absolutely beamed, there should be an aim penalty.\u201d This season seems to have missed the mark on suppression mechanics entirely. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Epic Games handles the sniper conundrum in Fortnite. Be sure to stick with Dexerto for any changes that may come in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
