SypherPK explains why new trap mechanic in Fortnite is \u2018broken\u2019 Significant changes to traps were made in Fortnite\u2019s v7.4 update \u2013 but Ali \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan believes the new mechanic isn\u2019t for the better. In the hands of a skilful player, spike traps are one of the deadliest items in Fortnite \u2013 dealing 150 damage to enemies in their radius. With player skill increasing, more and more users are able to catch their opponent off guard by using the uncommon item. Popular streamer SypherPK has been nicknamed \u2018the trap king\u2019 due to his excellent plays which often leave his adversary dumbfounded. However, the 22-year-old is unimpressed with the changes Epic Games made in the recent update. Traps no longer require a wall or floor to be placed as the game will now automatically place it for you \u2013 this allowed a player fighting Sypher near Pleasant Park to put a trap in a position that no-one would have expected. After taking significant damage and losing the fight, he vented his frustrations to his stream viewers. \u201cHe places a trap there?!\u201d Sypher yelled. \u201cThat\u2019s not in any way skilful \u2013 it wasn\u2019t even intentional! Sypher questioned the reasoning behind Epic Games introducing this change with no one in the community complaining about their previous state. He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s such a weird addition to the game that you can just start throwing traps down, it encourages just spamming traps.\u201d Indeed, the new mechanic allows for easier trap placements but has massively lowered the skill gap in using them. Sypher and many others feel that the change should be reverted as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
