Fortnite enthusiasts are rallying for Epic Games to introduce a cooldown feature for the Kneecapper weapon. This change comes amid concerns that currently, players can unleash charged attacks in quick succession with no pause, which some believe unbalances gameplay. While Chapter 6 Season 2 has turned the spotlight on heist-themed adventures, not all fans are thrilled with the new dynamics in this famed battle royale. Many players feel the treasures found in vaults fall short of expectations and are hoping for more engaging content soon.
This season has also seen the controversial return of weapons such as Midas’ Drum Gun and Brutus’ Minigun. To get their hands on these items, players must navigate the secret backrooms of Black Markets using Outlaw Keycards. Gathering and upgrading these keycards entails completing a variety of missions, from infiltrating vaults and collecting medallions to spending gold. While each task involves different steps, the core objectives remain the same, allowing players to efficiently tick off challenges through repetition. Completing these tasks grants players unrestricted access to any Black Market backroom in Fortnite.
In a spirited discussion on Reddit, user Willie_Willikers voiced dissatisfaction with the Kneecapper, urging Epic Games to introduce a cooldown between charged attacks. Many others echoed this sentiment, sharing stories of opponents who repeatedly used charged strikes in enclosed spaces to win matches effortlessly. This tactic leaves many gamers feeling there’s little they can do to counter it, leading to calls for adjustments to the weapon.
Further suggestions from the community include reducing the movement speed of players wielding the charged strike attack. As it stands, players can charge up with the Kneecapper and sprint towards adversaries without slowing, maintaining full agility. One gamer recounted being knocked into the air by a Kneecapper attack, only to be struck again before having a chance to react or defend.
Exciting leaks suggest more exotic weapons are on the horizon for Fortnite, potentially available via the game’s Black Market. Among the rumored new items is the highly anticipated Rift Launcher, first teased in the Chapter 6 Season 2 trailer. This unique weapon would allow players to create rifts on demand, enhancing their mobility or disrupting opponents. With these upcoming additions and an ever-expanding collection of loot to explore, there’s a growing sense of optimism about Fortnite’s future among its community.
