Many members of the game\u2019s competitive community have vented their anger about the weapon still not being sent to the vault, despite reports of it being incredibly overpowered. Some well-known streamers have even threatened to quit Fortnite, as others are now streaming other video games on Twitch. \u201cNo Fortnite until the Desert Eagle [Hand Cannon] is vaulted,\u201d TSM_HighDistortion tweeted, after sharing a link to his stream on February 6. Interestingly, the streamer has decided to ditch Epic\u2019s game \u2013 perhaps just for the time being \u2013 for another popular battle royale game, Apex Legends. The game, which is published by Electronic Arts and developer by Titanfall\u2019s Respawn team, was released on February and is already being seen as potential competition for Fortnite. Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem and Dr Disrespect are already teasing an upcoming tournament for the game. No FN till deagle is vaulted https:\/\/t.co\/HgxXrMqjDb \u2014 TSM HighDistortion (@HighDistortion) February 6, 2019 HighDistortion is not the only pro player complaining about the Hand Cannon, though, several big names from the competitive community have also seemingly become tired of its issues. To the fortnite peeps not invited to secret skirmish, go enjoy the fuck out of some other video games until we know our next tourney. Grinding the heaping pile of deagle and planes is a no no. You\u2019ll go insane. :ok_hand::skin-tone-4: \u2014 CLG Wish (@WishYaLuckk) February 6, 2019 Fortnite is so boring lmfao. It&#8217;s not even a battle royale. It&#8217;s a &#8220;&#8221;get wall replaced by my deagle or get rammed by my plane&#8221;&#8221; simulator. THATS IT. EVERY GAME. \u2014 Vivid (@VividFN) February 6, 2019 Put the deagle in the fucking trashcan. Deagle + Rocket late game is easy W. \u2014 100T Parallax (@100T_Parallax) February 6, 2019 Just a reminder to all of you that planes and deagles are still in the game. That is all. \u2014 FaZe Thiefs (@Thiefs) February 6, 2019 Whether or not more pro Fortnite players and streamers will ditch the game for Apex Legends remains to be seen, but it\u2019s clear that a section of the game\u2019s competitive community have become tired with some elements of its Battle Royale mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite\u2019s Hand Cannon problem is forcing pros to play Apex Legends Epic Games \/ RespawnEpic Games are always being made aware of issues and bugs that appear in Fortnite, but many pro gamers have become increasingly frustrated that the Hand Cannon is still an active weapon \u2013 with some even threatening to boycott the game [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
