In the ever popular game, Fortnite, players are now experiencing patterns in their demise. A Reddit user, NoShortsDon claims that the cause of their downfall is very repetitive and predictable, causing a dent in the overall game experience. The ways they wind up defeated have become so monotonous that it’s starting to undermine the thrill of the game.
Summary
- Frequent encounter of two specific player types: The overuse of Oscar’s Mythic Shotgun and the Ballistic Shield.
- A rise in ‘Boss Campers’ who bide their time and seize victory after others have done the hard work.
- A decrease in Sniper related deaths, shifting the popular means of winning.
An Unfortunate Change in Tactics
As narrated by NoShortsDon, there has been an evident shift from snipers to assaulting strategies, presumably using Oscar’s Mythic Shotgun and Ballistic Shield. This has made the game’s playing field quite unbalanced according to the user. jezr3n added, stating that it is ‘becoming too rote and boring’.
The Awful Specimen: Boss Campers
The most disliked, however, are the Boss Campers. These players patiently wait, then swoop in after others have defeated Bosses, achieve an easy kill, and take off with the rewards. This frustrating strategy of beating the game has left a sour taste in players’ mouth, especially when they end the fiasco with a Donkey Laugh emote.
A Call To Arms?
Mission_Battle_8135 puts down his thoughts saying ‘Campers are the reason I stopped playing solos…’. This sentiment is shared by many players as they feel the victory is less about skill and more about exploiting the game’s dynamics. Immediate-Meet-5889 also pointed out ‘I die to pc players trying for their life in pubs’.
The worry we’re wrestling with here is whether Fortnite’s constant evolution and updates are ironically making the game more monotonous and predictable. Fortnite, notorious for its wild and wacky surprises, may need to shake up its gameplay a bit to keep players like NoShortsDon from yawning during the thrill of the battle. Will Epic Games listen to their gamers’ cries? Let’s stick around to find out.
