Fortnite players demand return of hitscan weapon to counter Wings of Icarus Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s latest season sees players flying high like Icarus, and with the item exploding in popularity, players are lobbying for the Lock-On Pistol\u2019s return. Fortnite\u2018s latest season takes a page out of Greek mythology, with season Myths and Mortals giving players the tools and looks of iconic personas from the legends of old. One of the new tools of the trade is the Wings of Icarus, an item that lets players fly through the air like Icarus, although their usage is limited. However, the item\u2019s high drop rate and popularity have players putting their brains together to figure out how to counter them, including a return of a certain vaulted hitscan weapon. Fortnite player wants Lock-On Pistol to return Shared to the Fortnite subreddit, one player suggested Epic Games bring back the Lock-On Pistol, the semi-automatic pistol equipped with a targeting system, to counter Wings of Icarus users. While a few Fortnite players agreed because they want it to return, the idea itself didn\u2019t land well with many players, with most of the replies echoing how easy it is to tackle Wings of Icarus users. \u201cNot really. The Wings become your hitbox when you use them. It\u2019s so easy to hit someone who\u2019s flying because their hit box triples in size when they fly,\u201d one player said. Another added: \u201cYeah, the wings are my favorite item this season and it isn\u2019t because I\u2019m using them myself!\u201d Another player mentioned the Lock-On Pistol\u2019s small targeting radius would be a disadvantage when it comes to combatting Wings of Icarus users. Although the Lock-On Pistol is currently in the Fortnite vault, it came back towards the end of Chapter 5 Season 1, so there may be a chance it\u2019ll come back soon, letting players put this dream match up to the test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
