Fortnite is in pretty good shape in Season 5. It\u2019s packed with tons of new content, the meta is balanced, and the gameplay is still incredibly fun. However, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s perfect. Everyone has their criticisms and qualms. Some players might not like the latest map changes, which keep on coming. Others want their favorite vaulted weapons to make a comeback. Ali \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan doesn\u2019t mind all that. He\u2019s pretty content with where the game is at. However, in his latest video, he confessed that he feels like shotguns are in a bad state right now and explained why. \u201cI\u2019m not a fan of the current state of shotguns,\u201d he said. \u201cI love this season, and I\u2019m having a great time playing the game, but I\u2019m really not a fan of how the shotguns are this season, and there\u2019s a good reason why.\u201d \u201c[It\u2019s] because of the way upgrades are being handled right now,\u201d he added. \u201cYou upgrade your weapons using gold at certain NPCs, right? So, already there\u2019s a bit of a problem because the amount of NPCs that can actually upgrade your weapons is a lot less than the [number] of upgrade stations that existed.\u201d \u201cNot every single NPC can upgrade your weapon. Actually, most NPCs do not upgrade weapons for you,\u201d he said. \u201cThis upgrade stuff is relevant is [because] a Green Tactical Shotgun is not the strongest gun. It\u2019s not that reliable.\u201d \u201cBut a Purple Tactical Shotgun or a Gold Tactical Shotgun goes pretty hard,\u201d he added. \u201cI think they\u2019re very strong, reliable guns. The problem is, in a lot of games, you don\u2019t get the opportunity to upgrade even if you have gold.\u201d \u201cI think every single NPC should give you the option to upgrade your weapons,\u201d he said. It\u2019s a simple solution that will make it easier for players to get their hands on better shotguns, which will make them more viable. \u201cThe removal of upgrade stations was a strange decision,\u201d he said. \u201cAt first, I was okay with it because I thought every NPC was going to give you the upgrade option, but that\u2019s not the case.\u201d SypherPK believes it\u2019s a reasonable suggestion, and his fans seem to agree. He also thinks bringing back the Pump Shotguns will make a difference too, and is confident they\u2019ll be back later on in the year. In the end, shotguns have always been a popular weapon choice in Fortnite. It\u2019s important to keep them relevant, even if it means making NPC upgrades more abundant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SypherPK believes NPCs have ruined Fortnite shotguns in Season 5 Epic Games \/ SypherPKSypherPK isn\u2019t a fan of the current state of Fortnite shotguns in Season 5, and believes it\u2019s because players can only upgrade low-tier shotguns they\u2019ve collected into better ones at certain NPCs across the map.
