Fortnite players mock \u2018terrible\u2019 sniping montage: \u2018CIA couldn\u2019t get that out of me\u2019 Epic GamesWhile calling out Fortnite\u2019s sniper problem, one user shared a sniping montage that other players are mocking online. The prominent use of sniper rifles has been a point of contention in the Fortnite community for years. In 2021, for example, the #RemoveSnipersFromComp hashtag gained quite a bit of traction on Twitter. The sniper discourse returned with Chapter 5, as well. Some argue that those who use snipers have a penchant for camping out in hard-to-spot areas, rendering everyone else easy prey. Others contend that the guns themselves simply deal too much damage. Either way, the weapon is here to stay, though the odd complaint does rear its head every once in a while. The latest of such complaints isn\u2019t having the intended effect, however. Fortnite player\u2019s sniping montage reveals a \u2018skill issue,\u2019 fans say \u201cSnipers make Fortnite unplayable,\u201d reads a post from a Reddit user who claims they\u2019ve been sniped more times this season than ever before. To illustrate their point, the Redditor uploaded a 24-second gameplay montage that shows their many deaths to a distant sniper. All in all, the video features the Fortnite player being taken out a total of nine times. However, their demonstration hasn\u2019t received the feedback they probably anticipated. The most popular comment in the thread jokes, \u201cEven Batman couldn\u2019t get me to release a montage of me getting headshot sniped.\u201d Someone else replied saying the CIA wouldn\u2019t get them to budge, either. Another response reads, \u201cBro, I play a lot and do not nearly get headshot sniped as much as you do.\u201d Others tried understanding the original poster\u2019s strategy, with one person asking, \u201cDo you guys actually not move when seeing a sniper scope? My kneejerk reaction is to instantly jump up and the side when I first notice the glare.\u201d Meanwhile, several people said that while Epic should work on Fortnite\u2019s sniper problem, the gameplay on display in the video above is \u201cliterally just a skill issue.\u201d Another person echoed this sentiment, saying the real problem is that the player seems \u201ctoo predictable.\u201d Unfortunately for this Fortnite player and countless others, it remains to be seen if Epic will address the latest sniper rifle complaints in future updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
