The update introduced several new gameplay features, including weapon mods, boss fights, and a revamped movement system now allowing players to climb walls. The community has taken issue with various changes, particularly demanding a revert to the \u201cgarbage\u201d locker changes that arrived in Chapter 5 and the new \u201cjanky\u201d movement. However, Warzone players are feeling envious over the new update, with them claiming Epic has taken a page out of Activision\u2019s book to \u201csteal\u201d players. Warzone players claim Fortnite is out \u201cfor blood\u201d with Chapter 5 update In a December 3 Reddit thread, one Warzone player kicked off a discussion around Fortnite\u2019s Chapter 5 update, making note of the various new similarities between the two games. \u201cWith the Chapter 5 update they brought weapon attachments and also a train in the game. The weapon attachments work just like they do with Warzone ground loot guns where the rarity is decided by the number of attachments the gun has (1 being lowest and 5 being highest),\u201d they explained. \u201cThey also overhauled the movement so you can slide, slide cancel and mantle. With this and the zero build mode, I can\u2019t help but feel like they\u2019re trying to speak to Warzone players more.\u201d The played added: \u201cI don\u2019t know about you guys, but to me I feel like they\u2019re trying to steal some Warzone players to go play Fortnite.\u201d In the replies, others agreed that it was a golden opportunity for Fortnite to take some players away from Warzone, and admitted they couldn\u2019t blame the Epic devs. \u201cConsidering that MWII\/Warzone 2.0 has been overall weak, I can\u2019t blame them for pouncing on an opportunity before the new, better Warzone map drops and overall gameplay overhaul happens with DLC Warfare 2.5,\u201d said one. \u201cThey\u2019re coming for blood for sure,\u201d wrote another. \u201cI heard someone mention \u2018blackout vibes\u2019 but to me it definitely had a more [Warzone] feel with the POIs this season.\u201d Some even claimed that with the new Chapter 5 update, they\u2019ll be giving Fortnite another try. \u201cLooks like I might be going back to Fortnite,\u201d one stated. However, while some will be testing with waters again with Epic\u2019s battle royale, some believe Warzone will always be on top. \u201cFortnite\u2019s good, but it will never be warzone. It\u2019s so much better,\u201d they said. It\u2019s fair to say the hype for Fortnite is back at a high, with Season OG giving the game a massive resurgence in popularity. While initially planned as a one-time celebration, its record-shattering success means we\u2019ll be seeing it return in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players jealous as Fortnite Chapter 5 update is \u2018stealing\u2019 them away Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s new Chapter 5 update has made bored Warzone 2 players feel envious, while they claim Epic is \u201ccoming for blood.\u201d After a month of going back to its roots, Fortnite Chapter 5 finally arrived on December 3.
