Despite being one of the title\u2019s most popular content creators, Tfue has never been one to shy away from criticizing Epic Games\u2019 building battle royale. The strength of his opinions has even caused some arguments with fellow streamers, like Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins. For a host of reasons, a number of Fortnite community members have recently argued that Fortnite is dying. While Tenney does not go that far, he has highlighted another aspect of the game he wants to see adjusted. During an April 16 live stream, the 22-year-old explained why he wants to see adjustments to SMGs and ARs, particularly at close range. \u201cSMGs should not be able to sh*t on somebody with a shotgun in a close-range battle,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s not how f**king games work. I\u2019ve never played a BR [battle royale], where an SMG or AR can sh*t on a f**king shotgun.\u201d In a game like Fortnite, where headshots deal double damage and cause flinch to enemies, some players, including Tfue, argue that they can be too strong. Shotguns, designed specifically for close-range engagements, have seen back-and-forth nerfs over Fortnite\u2019s history as part of the infamous \u2018one-pump\u2019 debate. \u201cDude it\u2019s so dumb,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey need to f**king nerf ARs and SMGs, and they need to vault mythic guns in competitive.\u201d Away from his comments on ARs and SMGs, it is not the first time Tfue has called for mythic items to be vaulted in competitive. Mythic weapons include Midas\u2019 drum gun and Brutus\u2019 minigun, but some players have argued that they are far too strong and add an element of inconsistency that does not belong in competitive Fortnite. Whether Epic Games listen to Tfue and deliver on his wishes remains to be seen, but the response from Tfue\u2019s audience shows there are a number of Fortnite players who agree with the Twitch star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tfue explains why Fortnite needs to nerf SMGs and Assault Rifles Epic Games\/Twitch: TfueTwitch streamer and Fortnite veteran Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney has explained why he believes submachine guns and assault rifles are far too strong in the current build of Fortnite Chapter Two.
