Fortnite players split on hotfix vaulting \u201cterrible\u201d Warforged AR Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s latest hotfix vaulted the Warforged Assault Rifle for the Combat variant, leaving players divided on the change. Fortnite\u2019s June 18 hotfix made various smaller changes after the major update 30.10, which introduced the Metallica crossover, heavy metal goodies, and other changes. One of the latest hotfix\u2019s changes has proven controversial, though, with Epic Games vaulting the Warforged Assault Rifle in favor of the Combat Assault Rifle. Epic introduced the former in Chapter 5 Season 2, drawing a mixed reception from players because of the weapon\u2019s in-game performance or lack thereof, as numerous Reddit threads and posts have blasted its recoil pattern and bloom. Many celebrated the Warforged AR\u2019s removal from the loot pool. Numerous users on X replied with strong words of approval such as \u201cLETS GO the Warforged was terrible anyway.\u201d Others thanked Epic for answering their prayers. However, not everybody was a fan of the change. Many combated the removal, including well-known leaker iFireMonkey who started the hashtag: \u201cBringBackTheWarforged.\u201d \u201cBest AR in the game is gone smh,\u201d said one player in response to iFireMonkey\u2019s despair. In response to ShiinaBR\u2019s post, one player explained, \u201cEveryone that says it sucked is just admitting they couldn\u2019t control the recoil lol.\u201d As with any weapon that gets vaulted, the move isn\u2019t permanent. For example, Epic vaulted the Combat Assault Rifle in Chapter 3, yet it\u2019s back and better than ever. It\u2019s likely the Warforged will return in future seasons, but after some slight tweaks to make it a more viable weapon. Aside from the weapon swap, the surprise hotfix also adjusted the Tow Hook Cannon\u2019s various spawn rates in Battle Royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
