CouRage joins Tfue in fight against Fortnite\u2019s Infantry Rifle Popular Twitch streamer Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop has become the latest prominent naysayer of the Infantry Rifle in Fortnite Battle Royale, joining FaZe Clan pro Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney in the movement to get the weapon vaulted. CouRage had some strong opinions to share about the Infantry Rifle in a passionate tweet he put out on March 5. \u201cThe Infantry Rifle is the worst weapon they\u2019ve ever added to Fortnite Battle Royale,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI\u2019m convinced. I\u2019d rather have two plastic spoons from my local Chinese food place than the Infantry Rifle in a gunfight.\u201d He also went on to throw a jab at whoever\u2019s idea it was to add the weapon into Fortnite, as well as anyone who enjoys having it in the game.

I\u2019m convinced. I\u2019d rather have two plastic spoons from my local Chinese food place than the Infantry Rifle in a gunfight. Whoever wanted that in the game doesn\u2019t deserve gifts on Christmas. \u2014 Jack “”CouRage”” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) March 6, 2019 As it would turn out, by some strange coincidence, CouRage\u2019s rant would end up offering some foreshadowing as Epic Games slightly reduced the drop rate of the Infantry Rifle in the v8.01 update that was released on March 6. The chance of receiving it from chests has been lowered from 14.141% to 13.39% and the chance of finding it as floor loot is now 2.21% from 2.41% This all, of course, comes nearly a week after Tfue shared his reservations about the Infantry Rifle, questioning its viability and reliability. \u201cWhat is worse dude, getting an Infantry Rifle off spawn or a Burst [Rifle] off spawn?\u201d he asked his chat. \u201cI think the Infantry Rifle is easily the worst and least reliable weapon to get off of spawn \u2013 easily dude.\u201d (Tfue talks about the weapon for the first two minutes of the video below) While Tfue does mention how weak the weapon is in Fortnite, he has a bigger problem with how often it\u2019s found \u2013 hence the comparisons to the Burst Rifle, which was vaulted with the v7.10 content update back in January. \u201cNormally \u2013 before I switched up my landings \u2013 I would probably get an Infantry Rifle 50 percent of the time,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s fucked dude. I don\u2019t mind the gun being in the fucking game or whatever, it\u2019s fucking terrible, but for it to be as common as it is \u2013 it\u2019s fucked.\u201d Luckily for Tfue, he shouldn\u2019t be coming across the Infantry Rifle as often now that its drop rate has been nerfed. Even still, the chances of the Infantry Rifle being vaulted are looking slim at the moment, which these two Fortnite superstars would love to see happen. In fact, according to recent leaks, there may be two more versions of the weapon added soon to Fortnite \u2013 an Epic and Legendary variant. That may end up being a blessing in disguise, however, as more powerful version of the rifle may end up being just what it needs to become more usable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
