Fortnite players slam Epic for \u201cdumb nerf\u201d on spawn rates in Chapter 5 Season 4 Epic GamesFortnite has just rolled out the balance changes for Chapter 5 Season 4 and players are unhappy with how things have turned out in the game. Fortnite players were greeted with a new meta shortly after Chapter 5, Season 4, started due to the introduction of new Marvel weapons and items. With that in mind, the biggest complaint on day one was Captain America\u2019s Shield which deals a huge chunk of damage with auto-aim. Combine the shield with War Machine\u2019s Auto Turret and War Machine\u2019s Hover Jets, and even more chaos ensues in the Battle Royale as you mow down enemies left and right. While Epic has rolled out some balance changes, players have gathered in a Reddit thread to voice their frustrations about the recent nerfs affecting spawn rates of some weapons and items. One user wrote: \u201cNerfing items by decreasing their drop rate is the dumbest s*** I\u2019ve ever seen. F*** whoever at Epic for thinking it\u2019s the right way to do it.\u201d They went on to explain that they\u2019ve died \u201cso many times\u201d because the enemy had a jetpack while all they had were shockwaves. Since that\u2019s the case, the enemy could \u201cengage or disengage\u201d the fight \u201cwhenever they please,\u201d while they don\u2019t \u201chave the luxury to do the same\u201d since they had \u201cno mobility at all due to spawn rate nerf.\u201d Many other players flocking to the comments agreed with this take. While this isn\u2019t the first time, one user mentioned that \u201cobviously reducing the drop rate of an OP item in a BR game is a very bad idea.\u201d They continued: \u201cYou nerf quality, not the quantity. And people like me who already have a solid tons-of-avenger-chests route will still get all the stuff they need, while more chill players will stuck without any of the new items. Jeez.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s the same problem we had towards the end of season 1 with sniper rifles. It makes the game so much more RNG dependent,\u201d commented another user. Meanwhile, a different user said: \u201cExactly, having fewer shields and jetpacks available each round doesn\u2019t protect us from having to deal with them. It just puts us even more at the mercy of those who do find them.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s such a dumb nerf because for those that are lucky and get the items, their game is boosted by a lot,\u201d one chimed in. Fortnite is known to issue balance changes occasionally throughout the season, and if you need a refresher on what\u2019s changed, check out the game\u2019s recent patch notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
