Fortnite players rejoice as \u201cOP\u201d snipers finally nerfed in patch 28.10 Epic GamesPatch 28.10 introduces nerfs to snipers in Fortnite, and players are sharing positive feedback on the changes. Since the launch of Chapter 5 Season 1, snipers have been a hot topic in the Fortnite community. This season, the Reaper Sniper was introduced, boasting high damage and a three-round magazine making it fairly forgiving to use while it provides a high chance to one-shot enemies. There\u2019s also the new weapon modification system, allowing players to customize snipers to their liking, making it even harder to identify a sniper. Needless to say, players have been clamoring for nerfs and changes for what feels like forever. After a long wait, partially due to the holiday break, Fortnite patch 28.10 introduces long-awaited nerfs to snipers. Fortnite players react to sniper nerf According to the official patch notes list: \u201cThe Reaper Sniper Rifle has received a slight reduction in bullet speed (and an increase in bullet drop), as many Reaper snipes were too easy to land with little counterplay.\u201d Fortnite analyst BoopNL_ demonstrated the changes in a clip shared to his Twitter\/X account, with his feelings summed up with a simple \u201cW.\u201d As mentioned, sniper nerfs have been a long time coming, with modes like Zero Build almost unplayable due to no counterplay to snipers. One player reiterated that sentiment: \u201cZero Builds might actually be playable again,\u201d with others agreeing. Of course, not everyone was a fan of the changes to snipers. \u201cThat sucks. I like the Sniper as it was. I definitely don\u2019t like this nerf,\u201d one player reflected. Another said: \u201cThey\u2019re just taking the fun out of everything.\u201d Fortnite isn\u2019t the only game going through the motions of balancing snipers, with Warzone facing its fair share of criticism in that regard. Yet, this change to snipers was needed, and something that will definitely make modes like Zero Build a much fairer mode to participate in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
