‘Fortnite’ Season Update: Weapon Tweaks and Fixes
In the latest ‘Fortnite’ update, players will experience a mix of buffs and nerfs to their arsenal. The Tactical Assault Rifle now packs a more powerful punch, while the Harbinger SMG boasts a quicker reload and faster rate of fire, promising more intense battles.
However, not all changes empower the players. The Nitro Fists, a popular choice for combating vehicle dominance, have been dialed back, with reduced damage to structures and opponents. This follows a previous nerf that increased their recharge time, a move that had already sparked discontent among fans. Additionally, the Grenade Launcher Turret and Machine Gun Turret have seen slight reductions in damage output and fire rate, balancing their impact on gameplay.
Addressing a specific bug, the update corrects an issue with the Boom Bolt, which was inflicting more damage on player-built structures than intended. These adjustments are part of the ongoing effort to maintain a fair and exciting gaming environment as the season progresses.
