Fortnite players annoyed after finding \u201cfrustrating\u201d weapon mods on random loot Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 added weapon mods, but players are already frustrated by modifications appearing on random loot. Epic Games amped up the customization possibilities with Chapter 5\u2019s newly introduced weapon mods. Each mod can buff a gun in one way or another, with magazine attachments, scopes, barrels, and more. Since all weapons \u2013 barring those of the Common variety \u2013 now feature auto-equipped attachments, players have no shortage of customized guns from which to choose. Users can also modify guns to their preferred specifications by visiting various Weapon Mod Benches strewn about the Island. While some Fortnite faithful welcome the change, others have quickly grown frustrated. Apparently, weapon mods on random loot items are messing up the flow in many respects. Fortnite players call weapon mods on randomized loot a \u201cpain\u201d Fortnite player and Redditor DonAsiago kickstarted an interesting conversation with a thread featuring the following caption: \u201cNot really happy with the guns having random modifications.\u201d The user went on to say that random weapon mods disrupt their flow. When looting an AR pre-Season 1, they knew exactly what they were getting, now it\u2019s a toss-up as the rifle may come with iron sights or a needless sniper optic. \u201cThis just adds unnecessary complexity to what was kinda clear cut,\u201d they continued, adding that now the game feels more Call of Duty-esque. Others in the thread had no problem agreeing with the original poster. One user said the scope mods, in particular, have given them headaches. \u201cThe scope mods mess me up. I need to be able to consistently rely on what my sights will look like.\u201d Someone else pointed out how glancing at a weapon is no longer viable when it comes to looting. \u201cOnce I get a kill, it\u2019s such a pain to look at each of the guns they dropped individually and decide the best attachments, when before I could quickly pick up the higher rarity gun and move on,\u201d they said. Another Fortnite player claimed the addition of weapon mods reminds them of why they typically avoid the likes of Apex Legends or Warzone. \u201cThis is why I played Fortnite over Apex or Warzone. I found the looting to be very confusing in other games, and simple in Fortnite.\u201d Not everyone is upset with the changes, though. A few Redditors in the thread say they\u2019re enjoying how weapon mods encourage them to play differently each match. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how players feel about the modifications in the weeks and months ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
