Fortnite players disappointed as Epic nerfs Web Shooter ahead of FNCS Epic GamesThe Fortnite community are slamming Epic Games for nerfing the Spider-Man Web Shooters one day before the start of the latest Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) season. Fortnite players have loved the new Web Shooters, inspired by Spider-Man no less, added to the game in Chapter 3. However, you won\u2019t be able to use them as effectively in competition. Epic announced a balance change for the latest FNCS season on February 16, nerfing the now-iconic item. \u201cIn preparation for FNCS Round 1, we\u2019ve reduced Spider-Man\u2019s Web Shooters usage amount from 20 to 10 in competitive playlists,\u201d Epic said. Web Shooters in default modes will be left untouched. Though largely seen as a fine change, competitive players were baffled by the timing that leaves pros with only a day to adjust to the update. In preparation for FNCS Round 1, we’ve reduced Spider-Man’s Web Shooters usage amount from 20 to 10 in competitive playlists. \u2014 Fortnite Competitive (@FNCompetitive) February 16, 2022 \u201cBro why,\u201d NRG pro Bucke asked. \u201cFNCS is in one day what the f**k is this s**t.\u201d Others echoed similar sentiments since thousands of dollars are on the line across different regions. \u201cLess than 24 hours before?\u201d Solary pro \u2018BlastR\u2019 said. \u201cSeriously?!\u201d Pros were disappointed that the developers didn\u2019t go further in their update, seeing as SMGs and Assault Rifles are still proving to be a bit strong in casual play. \u201cTake a look at the meta,\u201d Team Liquid \u2018STRETCH\u2019 said. \u201cLook at what you\u2019re making us play. Fix the SMGs.\u201d \u201cBro\u2026. all good [though, SMGs are] fair and ARs are not broken at all,\u201d Fortnite pro \u2018aqua\u2019 added sarcastically. \u201cAnd we got so much mobility!\u201d take a look at the meta look at what you\u2019re making us play fix the smgs \u2014 Liquid STRETCH (@Stretch) February 17, 2022 \u201cPreparation\u201d\u2026\u2026 how are WE supposed to prepare when everyone has been practicing around spidey\u2019s for weeks \ud83d\ude24 \u2014 Cloutism (@CIoutism) February 16, 2022 Spidey\u2019s item was praised by the community ever since the item was released in Chapter 3. It was a fun way to get across the map and it even opened up the game for a fair bit of outplay. Offensively, Web Shooters give players unpredictability in fights, especially during extended build battles. Defensively, they give people a quick escape option should a scenario turn for the worse. Now, competitive Fortnite players will have half as many charges in the Web Shooters to account for the current meta with FNCS starting soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
