Epic Games has added many different variations of the sniper weapon archetype since Fortnite\u2019s release. The weapon has always excelled at poking and taking out enemy players from long-range and behind cover like bushes; this is because of its insane high-damage single-shot potential. However, as a result of this, the weapon has constantly been a hotly debated topic among players, who often demand nerfs. Epic Games finally listened to the community demand and delivered on January 2024 in Patch 28.10, reducing projectile speed and increasing bullet drop. However, there are still some players who think that the Reaper is absolutely \u201cbusted.\u201d Fortnite players still upset with Snipers ruining matches One Fortnite player complained on social media about the state of Snipers: \u201c[It is a] love-hate relationship with the Reaper,\u201d they admitted and shared a meme that joked about how they always get unexpectedly killed by snipers when they\u2019re certain of securing a Victory Royale. Players immediately commented on the post, whole-heartedly agreeing that the Reaper sniper needs more adjustments. \u201cSnipers in this season are f**king busted. You could lose 75% of your health to a guy you can\u2019t even see (and depending on their mods, can\u2019t hear either),\u201d one fan responded. Other people agreed that Epic Games hadn\u2019t done enough with the 28.10 nerf. \u201cInstead of nerfing the stupid bullet drop which did nothing, they should\u2019ve nerfed the mag capacity &#038; make green sniper rifles do under 200 damage to the head,\u201d another player added. However, some players were keen to point out that Snipers were only busted on Zero Build: \u201cSnipers are just too broken on zero builds (and on builds but not as much).\u201d Still, despite people believing that the Battle Royale gameplay needs tweaking, overall players are very much enjoying the Fortnite x TMNT event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players demand more nerfs to \u201cbusted\u201d snipers Epic GamesFortnite players have demanded yet another nerf to the Reaper sniper, complaining about its ability to ruin players\u2019 Battle Royale matches.
