The debate rages on in the realm of Fortnite over an oft-discussed favorite – or nemesis – of many: the Frenzy auto shotgun. It has especially heated up due to a post by GrongusIsStrongus, who feels that the weapon outclasses most others in the game.

Community Insights

  • Many players argue that the Frenzy auto shotgun disproportionately lowers the skill requirement for the game.
  • There is a call for more variety and balance in the arsenal available in Fortnite.
  • Resilient players adapt strategies based on the current weapon meta and perceive the frenzy around the Frenzy as a need to get better at the game.

The Skill Issue

Many among the Fortnite community feel this weapon lowers the skill bar. As shared by Nottheluckiestone ‘Fire in the general direction of someone and win.’ This sentiment is echoed by MuscleManRule34 ‘It’s definitely a low skill weapon.’

The Variety Question

Another concern frequently raised is the lack of weapon variety in the game. Wildrover2 brings out the need for variation ‘Epic doesn’t have enough variety or change the loot pool enough.’

Adapt and Overcome

However, some players find their prowess shines in different situations. Extreme-Plantain542 ‘I must be the only one who uses the hammer over it’ is an example. Some players, like ForkFace69, offer a different perspective ‘Just don’t let people stand 5 feet away from you.’

Ultimately, the Frenzy auto shotgun seems to bring out the best and worst in Fortnite. Whether you’re a fan or a critic, one thing is clear. The shotgun has, without a doubt, nudged the community into lenthy discussions about skill, variety, and strategy. It’s not just a weapon; it’s a catalyst for a more vibrant gaming community.
