Fortnite players divided as Wings of Icarus get instantly nerfed Epic GamesThe Wings of Icarus lets players soar into the sky and crash into their enemies. However, now that it\u2019s been nerfed, looks like using it will take more effort. Have you ever wanted to step into Battle Royale feeling like a Greek god? Well, Fortnite\u2018s Chapter 5 Season 2 lets you do just that, thanks to the new Greek Mythology-inspired skins, items, and mythics added to the game, with Thunderbolt of Zeus letting you leap briefly into the sky and zap your enemies with lightning bolts. Outside of all these exciting additions, Wings of Icarus is arguably one of the ones that take the spotlight, as it allows you to fly and dive bomb enemies, knocking them and dealing damage at the same time. However, despite not even being 24 hours after the season\u2019s launch, the Epic Utility item has already gotten nerfed. As shared by iFireMonkey in an X post, this nerf affected the item\u2019s minimum required height to activate the dive bomb, which has now increased. This means that players will have to fly higher in the air before they can slam enemies on the ground. Regarding this change, the community seems to have split opinions so far. Some players are grateful for this nerf, while others aren\u2019t too happy. One user claimed this is a good change after playing several games. On the other hand, some players didn\u2019t mind as they don\u2019t use it often to dive enemies frequently, suggesting that it\u2019s only used solely for its mobility. Meanwhile, in a separate Reddit thread discussing this nerf, a player pointed out that this change is \u201cwell deserved\u201d as the item is \u201cinsanely broken.\u201d They explained, \u201cThe dive bomb does 60 damage through structures, which means you can just get them low and crash into them when they box to heal.\u201d All that aside, some players who aren\u2019t too keen on this change mentioned that it\u2019s unnecessary, as the item already feels \u201cpretty weak\u201d to begin with. \u201cIt\u2019s so ***. If someone starts shooting at you when you\u2019re flying, you\u2019re dead \u2019cause it locks you into the dive bomb animation,\u201d mentioned one user. \u201cOne of the worst seasonal movement items, and they\u2019re already nerfing it into the ground,\u201d another chimed in. Some comments also mentioned that the thunderbolt mythic deserves a nerf instead of the wings. Though it\u2019s unknown whether more items will be tweaked, changes are always bound to happen in the game, so it\u2019s always a good start to get quests involving certain items done as soon as possible just to be safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
