Fortnite streamer NICKMERCS rants on why he hates the new Glider Redeploy and drop rate of Shields 100 Thieves streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff isn\u2019t a fan of the recent changes to Fortnite, and he let his fans know why during a recent stream. On January 15, Epic Games re-introduced Glider Redeploy in Fortnite by adding a new \u2018Redeploy\u2019 item that allows players to activate their glider when falling from any height, but only a certain amount of times. The move has already been criticized by many prominent members of the Fortnite community, like Nick and TSM\u2019s Myth, who think the new item is the wrong way to re-implement the mechanic into the game. Heavily opposed to this new system, NICKMERCS passionately explained to fans why the new Redeploy item was giving him such a headache. \u201cI\u2019m not myself today because I\u2019m playing a game that thrives on fucking shields and there isn\u2019t any in the game,\u201d the streamer explained to viewers. \u201cThey added a Redeploy item that sucks and it\u2019s in everything, and it takes up the spots where the shields should be.\u201d The introduction of the new item has also seeming diluted Fortnite\u2019s item pool, which makes Shields show up a lot less now in loot. Based on the largely negative community response to the new item so far, it will be interesting to see how long it actually remains in the game in its current state. Other controversial items and mechanics, like the Infinity Blade and the initial Glider Redeploy system, were vaulted after similar outrage by the players. Especially since it seems to affect shield drop rates, we could see the Redeploy join the list of vaulted items sooner rather than later, but all that is ultimately up to Epic Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
