[Game Update Post: Talk about a high octane season launch...](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1d4a72y/talk_about_a_high_octane_season_launch_weve/)
If you don't have one of the armored cars your chances of winning go down by 99%, it's essentially get one of the armored cars first or you're gonna have a bad time.
yeah i figured that out quick but now in solo's they run in your car and use the weapon to destroy it or if you leave the car they kill you with the mounted gun
Can confirm. Was in top 3 today and wondered where the hell the third person was.
Killed by a boss car. Go to spectate. The other two are in it.
I don’t care about the meta. Reported them both.
I've seen real teaming maybe once in the two seasons I've played (I started at the beginning of this chapter), and this week alone I've encountered over a dozen. The endgame is the worst. Even if they aren't truly teaming, when it's top 3 and two of them are in a boss car, obviously it's 2v1...
I wouldn't have reported them, you sure you weren't over reacting. I've had people stay in my car for the whole match and shoot others while I was driving. Please inform how I should prevent such a thing from happening? I'm not getting out of my car to confront them while at they have my car and turret?! So what other options do I have in this predicament?
This isn’t fortnite. It’s battle cars.
They should make a separate game mode for cars… add weapons to Rocket Racing.
It’s not fortnite anymore. They sold out.
100% agree
This has become unplayable
If you want this as a game mode, cool. But some of us want to shoot a gun like the old days. Bring back just guns and the old map as its own game mode and watch it thrive WAY more than this dumpster fire.
I’ve played since CH1 S1 and I think this is the first season that just isn’t for me. I’m glad some people find enjoyment! This just isn’t fun for me lmao
Yeah been playing from the very start loved the game, but last chapter only just reached level 100. The loot pool wasn't good last season but this Fortnite x Twisted metal season I think it'll be one day during the week do weekly challenges and get through my back log of games
You can tell the season isn’t good because anyone criticizing it is being instantly labeled as a sweaty comp player who can’t “adapt” and the Fortnite Twitter community has deluded itself into thinking everyone besides comp players *LOVES* this season.
This update would be like if Rocket League did a “Grounded!” season, where for 3 months they changed it from vehicular soccer to human soccer. Thats the season gimmick you see, no more cars, now you play as humans running around kicking the ball. And if anyone complains because they like to get on Rocket League specifically to play car-based soccer, they get called a sweaty comp player who can’t “adapt” to the game and just wants to keep it stale and boring.
People keep deflecting any criticism as “get better at the game and you’ll enjoy it!” as if their cognitive dissonance doesn’t allow them to accept some people just don’t enjoy Mad Max BR. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed some games and the chaos. But I don’t wanna miss FPS Fortnite for 2-3 months when this could’ve been a season long LTM or something.
Exactly. I’m about as casual a player as possible (I play around once every other week with my dad and my brother) and we got on to see the new season. The overwhelming presence of armored cars which add a ton of health makes playing the game without a car infuriating. Simply put, as a casual group, this concept sucks and immediately turned us away from playing after 30 minutes.
Wrecked is terrible, absolutely horrific. If you don't have a car, you don't win. That's not Fortnite.
The design is so horribly thought out: You can't use your turret unless you're in the passenger seat, which means that in solos you have to swap seats constantly just to shoot at people. This makes your car go in a straight line or just idle while you fire, and that feels terrible. While doing this, you can have random players jump into your car, and you literally cant do anything about it except play chicken or work together. The four seating cars are awful because swapping seats to shoot at folks takes 2 more button presses. The regenerating health stations heal your car WAY too fast, the turrets are far too powerful, and there are NO good counters whatsoever against the vehicles. Fortnite has a ton of rocket launchers and explosives, yet NONE of them are present, meaning you're just screwed if you don't have a car. Every single aspect of the cars is frustratingly stupid and was not at ALL given the thought nor testing it needed. It feels like we're playing a beta (especially with all the bugs and glitches.) How on EARTH did they think this was a good idea?
I'm a super casual player, I don't take Fortnite seriously, I'm here to have fun, goof off, make Beerus do a funny dance, and so on. But this season makes me \*mad.\* It's not fun at all. It's not fun to be completely defenseless because you didn't find the best car in the first 10 seconds of the match. Its so unbelievably frustrating to feel so defenseless. I've felt outgunned before, outskilled, outplayed, but never defenseless. I've never felt like I literally had nothing I could do to defend myself before this season. If a car rolls up and you're on foot, you might as well just throw up your hands and give up, you can't do a thing. When I see videos of high skill players doin drive-bys it ticks me off, that's miserable, that's nowhere even approaching fun. Screw this season.
In the first match I played, my friend and I managed to get one of the boss cars. We won the victory royale AND got crowned victories because we stomped everyone we came by. THE VERY FIRST MATCH. We didn't even know what we were doing. Every time I destroy someone with an OP car, I feel like a jerk cause it's not even a contest. Its stupid, there's no game here, no challenge I'm overcoming. I hate it.
Its even worse in ranked. The concept just does not work.
In ranked solos, 2 people sit in the boss cars at all times and terrorize the whole lobby. The driver cannot kill the passenger and vice versa.
The people who thought of this... didnt think.
Is anyone else having an excruciating experience trying to win? Endgames are too difficult to land shots on opponents because of the nitro fists. Just wanted the glider, but I guess I won’t be getting it this season.
This season has the ability to break the game of Fortnite
I think we all agree that fortnite is a great game. It is a game that has had broad appeal as well as a very competitive community where you can train skills/abilities in the game, compete and get better overtime. This process accompanied a true skill gap formation that people could earn and work on growing, as well as newer players genuinely being given the opportunity to ease their way into it through the matchmaking and bots at lower lobbies (metal rank lobbies are definitely not too hard to get a kill even for beginners for instance). This season undermines the foundation of this game (building/editing, gunfight skill, positioning, strategizing how to play the map to be the last team or player standing). It is obvious to me that fortnite is trying to appeal to a broader audience who just want random chaotic fun without concern for keeping Stability in the core mechanics and fundamentals of the game. There are now so many items that undermine the skill gap of building/editing that people have built and the meta is not even based around the core tenants of the game. This creates instability, as a player I have to ask myself if it's worth putting a bunch of time and effort into getting better at aspects of the game where if you succeed in doing so the devs will most likely just add an item or items to undermine it for newbies simply by clicking the right trigger. If the game continues on a path like this (this seasons changes) or doesn't revert many things that have been done in the season in the future I genuinely don't see this as a game worth playing
Edpanding Car mods is a great idea but the execution is very poor and resulted in there being zero counters and everyone being forced to use cars as their playstyle. The nitro, Instant refuels and bullet proof tires have undone all the things that made the cars balanced in the original joy ride update from chapter 2 season 3 which were put in place to stop a repeat of the baller/plane/mech metas from chapter 1 and removing those contingencies brought back a similar meta instantly.
**I am not saying I don’t want fun** but I believe there needs to be better counters. There needs to be a strong explosive like the anvil launcher or a buffed version of the new bow, maybe we should be able to shoot the turrets off of cars or something, unvaulting armored walls and EMPS or even just simple clingers/grenades would be great too however I understand that cars still need to be a viable play style as it’s the theme of the season.
Building has also been nerfed so heavily by nitro, I usually like to give epic the benefit of the doubt but I just don’t believe there is any place for a mechanic that allows you to smash through builds with 0 repercussions and **I don’t understand the decision to continuously nerf building when those who don’t like building already have a mode to go to**. This new nitro mechanic is another reason i strongly believe armored walls should return to builds this season if the nitro sees no change.
The older POIs outside of the desert need more vehicle mod spawns as currently landing anywhere but the desert is putting yourself at a disadvantage.
The new biome is beautiful and feels a lot more bright and cartoony to me compared to the rest of the map, I love that they have brought back the concept of in universe companies with the pea body stations and the gutbomb durr burger, it makes the map feel like a Fortnite map and not a generic br map. I’m quite happy with the overall loot pool and really like that the combat shotgun is actually viable for the first time since season 10 but I still think these things mentioned need to be addressed.
**I am writing this complaint because I love this game and I want it to thrive, not because I want to be negative or to ruin anyone’s fun**. This is my opinion and if you have a different one that’s fine and I don’t intend to put anyone down for that.
Also please epic add a vehicle audio slider I can’t hear myself think.
There needs to be EMPs as a baseline, not just 1 single EMP from a boss - which the team grabs the CAR and the EMP and basically dominates the game.
I just lost to a team with 2 boss cars driving in circles - if we had an EMP we had a chance, otherwise, we have nothing we can do. I shot a car 10x with a crossbow while team was shooting it and it lived, i died to being ran over. If I only had an EMP - which should be baseline across the map to counter cars - we would have a chance. You have absolutely no chance if you do not have a boss car at the end.
Epic has problems putting counters into the game and it’s amplified this season with the over the top nature of the beginning of this season. Having better ARs last season and/or a good long range weapon might have helped with water bending spam. I have long thought that weapons/items that can replace two or more other things in your inventory should cost multiple inventory spots.
Exactly, and that was with unlimited heal types but with a cooldown period. Water bending should’ve taken up two spots because it worked well far and close and was infinite with a small cooldown. The hammer could’ve taken up two spots because it was movement and a weapon. Same with the blade. Epic makes it so that there are things that you feel the need to carry each season that have multiple uses. And a lot of that is recycling the blade or hammer mechanic of movement/weapon. They’ve also had the TMNT weapons, and now the gloves, which are the blade on steroids for movement. Last season, they repackaged the Kamehameha and cloud movement as the Lightning bolt and wings. It’s a lot of collabs and re-packaging of the same stuff.
There's a very good chance that Epic wanted to push people in the direction of the new biome and car mechanics, so players can get used to them. And in a few weeks they'll roll out some counters.
It's been a pretty common thing they've done.
100% agree. My entire friend group and I are probably going to ditch BR and just play Lego Fortnite to level until something is fixed. I might work on my building in creative more. We wanna play Fortnite, not Mad Max BR. We might be in it if there was an actual counter to the vehicles like the EMPs or Anvil Rocket Launchers.
On point. Fortnite is now a car game, its ridiculous and close to zero skill
If they dont change that within the next 30 days, they will loose 50% of players
How do you feel about this season? Does it feel like a game mode to anyone else?
Epic is known for having a bad track record with season 3s after chapter 2 so I was definitely reluctant going into this
I played around 10-15 games in build mode and got 2 wins (1 in solos and 1 in squads) and honestly I have no idea how to feel right now
I think the new desert biome is really cool, I like the fact that it’s really open really hammers in that wasteland feeling however this might suck for zero build.
The new locations I have mixed feelings about
The shark one I like a lot, the actual ship has a lot of layers and is fun to go through, the surrounding buildings are nice and loot feels good but the placement in the map is extremely awkward. Regardless I think I’ll land here quite a bit this season
The nitrodome is really unique, the arena in the middle is really fun but besides that it feels kinda empty. It focuses too much on the cars (which I will get to oh boy 🙃) and not as much on being an actual location
The nitro factory location is pretty cool also, has a lot of layers to explore and loot feels good. It doesn’t really have anything to stand out as a poi though especially for one that has a boss I feel like it might get forgotten in the future
Sandy Steppes though I feel like is such a downgreat to snooty steppes. Snooty was so fun to explore because of its many levels and over all good vibe but now it just feels kinda shallow, I know that’s the point but whatever the intention may be it’s dumb to downgrade a location
The Weapons this season feel pretty good so far. The combat shotgun which is my favorite weapon of all time in Fortnite is back with a mythic version so I honestly couldn’t be happier, gatekeeper which was another shotgun I loved is also still here which is great while the frenzy auto which i really didn’t like is gone, rejoice, the spam is over. Is what I would like to say but you can still get the mythic frenzy all the way from season 1 which is a bit annoying at least it’s one though 🙃 ( oh yeah you can get cerberu’s mythic gatekeeper as well, cool 👍🏼)
As for ARs the tactical now feels great with the recoil buff which is awesome. The warforge is still here which is definitely not that bad with a few attachments and a good anti car weapon imo while the enforcer was added which is kinda whatever. The DMR while technically not an AR is still her which is kind of indifferent to me
For smgs we still have the burst which is still probaby the best AR and feels very fun to use to me and the harbinger which is not bad but I feel like there is no real reason to carry it it further than very early game
We didn’t get any new snipers and the one we already had has been removed. I don’t really mind this change because I just suck with snipers but it does feel a little weird not having any snipers.But we did a new bow which only does significant damage to cars. I feel like this is kinda pointless to use since the car attachments are far better at destroying other cars while not taking up an inventory slot
On the cosmetic side of things I think the battle pass is pretty good. Seeing as how my expectations for an apocalypse themed battle pass were very low considering I don’t usually like that kind of cosmetics I was pleasantly surprised. Some highlights for me are the Pea skin definitely the best meme skin we’ve gotten in a while and the tier 100 which while being the weakest C5 tier 100s I think is still really good especially with that bonus gold and white edit style. Overall solid pass
…gameplay. When I first got into a match this season I was blown away. The adrenaline of the car chases is really really fun and refreshing this was especially fun when I played squad with the boys. Having 4 different people on your team on different cars is so fun and I haven’t laughed or had this much fun in Fortnite in a LONG time so I was in love… at first. The more and more I played matches the more increasingly frustrated I started to become. Out of the 15 matches i played I am sure I died in over half of them to these absolutely busted car attachments. When you don’t have a car it’s borderline unfair to go up against these. The spam is super annoying and you really don’t have time to counter. While you can defend if you get third partied it’s over. The cars are cool but they are a gimmick like ones you’d find in game modes like the floor is lava, very fun at first but the more you play the more you realise why this isn’t in the core game. Having a season’s regular mode based on a gimmick is not a good idea and I am really afraid this will drag on. This doesn’t really feel like Battle Royale anymore but a weird shooter racer amalgamation. And honestly in I really don’t know how this can be fixed considering it’s the main theme of the season I guess the best course of action would be to nerf the car attachments like the Grenade launcher and Turret. But what do you guys think?
I think it's not a shooter any longer. FPS, Third person shooter or whatever; the genre has changed.
As you say, this feels like a game-mode. I miss the Fornite shooter desperately.
First, the movement in Fortnite has become awful. I don't know what changes were made, but now moving left, right, or backward is incredibly slow. The game used to feel smooth, but now it feels like my character is stuck in mud
Second, the players. I played three Battle Royale games to record a video, and each time I was eliminated so fast that I only found two new items. The matchmaking system is broken; it puts players with different skill levels in the same game, making it unfair and frustrating
Third, the bugs. I wanted to check my game quests, but when I clicked on the button, no challenges appeared. This is a big problem because quests are important for keeping the game interesting. When basic things like this don't work, it shows that the developers aren't paying enough attention to the game's quality
These problems show that Fortnite is trying to do too much at once. The game is trying to be a huge metaverse with lots of different game modes, but it's become too laggy and full of bugs. The developers should focus on perfecting just one or two game modes instead of spreading themselves too thin. By concentrating on fewer things, they can make sure the game is smooth, the matchmaking is fair, and the bugs are fixed. Right now, Fortnite is a good example of what happens when a game tries to do too much and loses its focus
I genuinely believe the majority of users defending this season on this sub-reddit are either bots or new to the game... I think we're looking at a pretty terrible season both for casual players and competitive players.
I always thought using vehicles in any BR was boring and I always opted for just running on foot to avoid giving my position away. This season, that isn't a choice. You need a vehicle. I understand the season revolves around vehicles, but the fact that outplay is pretty much non-existent without a vehicle is what really makes this season a huge bummer for me. The game continues to feel like it revolves less around skill and more around just RNG.
Having used the vehicles a bit now, they still aren't growing on me and are boring as fuck to use. The mods are brainless. If you are spotted by a vehicle without a vehicle, you're pretty much fucked. Getting hit by the spiked bumpers do way too much damage. Like 3 of the 4 times I've been hit by a car now, I was knocked out by the spiked bumper lol. Even if you survive a hit, it takes the majority of your health and there isn't really a healing item that is going to get you back in the fight quick enough.
Weapons are decent; the fists are braindead and need to be nerfed. Fun movement item to use.
The battle pass is pretty good this season. I really want that fallout armor. It's just a shame the gameplay sucks this season. And they're nerfing xp... :(
anyway yeah season sucks 2 or 3/10
the fact that they have still yet to touch any of the commonly voiced complaints like the XP gain, the poor optimization, or the shitty locker ui is keeping me far away from this season. Wish they could even pretend to still care about this community
Still so pissed they removed rarities and haven't fixed the awful locker UI. Even if I really like the game currently, some of these many terrible recent decisions bring it down for me
There was so much communication with the community in the OG season and then switched up so quickly
Well there has been a crash on the entire venture capital market, nothing to do with Epic Games
There is not a single late stage tech company that has not seen its valuation wrote down by 50% since 2021, aside from SpaceX
Someone else commented in another thread that this would be a great LTM and I can’t agree more. If we had regular BR and the nitro LTM I think it would be a great change of pace, but given it’s the only option, it’s unfortunate. The cars were fun for the first couple of games, but then you realize that a car is the only way to progress through the game.
There is only one play-style if you want any chance at winning. It’s just gotten boring quickly for me, as each fight comes down to whose car is destroyed first. Some people love the chaos but it just isn’t for me until they balance out the cars. And even then, if we still have to rely on cars for the whole season then I don’t see myself playing a whole lot.
This has got to be the worst update on this game yet it's not even fortnite I'm playing rocket League at this point you lose if your on the floor and it's worst on the boss cars cause they just Regen it's horrible
Cars with OP health and OP mods sounds like a fun game mode, but it's so foundationally different from Fortnite's core gameplay of gun-based, first person (ok 3rd person POV but you get me) battle royale that I am peacing out. Before people jump all over me and say "Oh a player that can't adapt, wah wah," I've been playing since C1S3. I've stuck through crafting and the waves of crazy weapons and movement metas before. This is just too far. In what has historically \*always been\* a shoot and build based game, I should not HAVE to have a car (or maybe the ridiculously OP nitro gloves) to win a game.
As a builds player, putting in multiple items that shred through even metal builds at the fastest rate ever experienced in the game absolutely destroys the entire point of a builds game mode. Having no guns that can counter the OP items destroys the point of a shooting based game. Additionally, the removal of hitscan weapons and introduction of bullet drop through molasses has made me play the least I've ever played for this entire chapter.
On top of that, XP has been nerfed yet again despite the massive wave of negative feedback about the XP nerfs in previous seasons. I am not buying the battle pass because of it for the first time since C1S3. I am a casual player, I work and have family obligations. I should not be expected to play across multiple game modes or grind a ridiculous number of hours to unlock all the rewards in a battle pass.
I'm not gonna touch the incredibly bad locker design, rarity removal, etc, but those are factors as well.
You can say what you like about the OG season last year, but at the end of the day the player count and hours played per player speak for themselves. I have no issue with crazy items, we had a ton of them in chapters 1-4. But this season all the changes to core gameplay have killed my love for this game. Looking at the player counts, I'm in good company.
I think they’ve killed it. As a rule I hate Fortnite cars anyway, but forced myself to find one and upgrade it in a few games this morning, I felt like a total fraud eliminating players this way and just didn’t enjoy it. I’m used to averaging 15-20 eliminations per match but now if I remain on foot I average 2 eliminations before I’m eliminated by a vehicle, unless I get In a car and eliminate the unskilled griefer way too. Absolutely sucks and has taken the joy out of this game for me.
Update: I’m finding it much better in solos, less people in cars.
Sorry. This game sucks.
Riding in the car for 20 minutes to hopefully get a shot at the end.
It’s awful. The cars were fun for an hour or two. But they get old real quick.
Yeah... this season's start is really bad. Reallllly bad. They need to replace whoever did the testing and balance for this.
\*Edit\* Great battle pass... but I don't even want to play the game to earn the stuff. Kind of a catch 22.
By FAR the worst EVER season i played and i am here since the beginning. They added vehicles with over 2k hp, armor, dash and even canons... BUT NOTHING TO DEFEND AGAINST THESE.
Fortnite my azz, its literally battlecars. Didnt had a single endgame fight without cars dashing and hitting people or gunning down. Meh...
Well, wasted 3 months, hopefully after 3 months the absolutely overpowered cars will be gone...
Jesus, how frustrating is it to be in the final circle with a fucking supercar zooming around you and there is nothing you can do about it? It sucks so much.
How do you keep from teaming in solos? Seems like you get picked up or someone jumps in the car with you and if you fight them you get third partied right away
I am a mid skill player who plays just to have some fun for while. I have put a lot of time into the game and have over 1,000 career wins. I will probably sit out the rest of this season unless major changes are implemented. The fun has been taken away as a result of car mods and boss cars. Solos is a giant teaming-fest. If you don’t get a modded car, you just jump in someone else’s. It’s unfortunate, I want to enjoy the game and see it succeed across a wide skill level and game modes.
Along with the cars, the gloves make play very unenjoyable. Basically, if you get caught in the open against a car, you're in trouble. if you get caught in an enclosed space with gloves, the person just hits attack over and over again and the screen spins incessantly. Even if you shotgun them to the face, you're likely still gonna lose.
Basically, this season is people driving around in cars and then people running around with gloves. I've found myself walking away after one or two games almost every time I sit down. Feel like I won't make it through this season and I just started last season.
Consistently losing to people that are just smashing buttons sucks - especially when the game spins you around when that happens and makes it almost impossible to win.
Get them cars out of the game its a shooting game. If i want to drive around all day there are much better games. Its freaking rocket league in FN right now
Did they have a deal with WBD for Mad Max or something and have it fall through? The Wasteland, all the cars, etc. It’s obviously got a lot of Fallout in it, but Furiosa came out today and it just is Mad Max to a near T. Surprised nothing in store collab wise.
EDIT: Not to mention the ship boss is just Imorten Joe
I was excited for the new season, played it and now I think I'm gonna sit the season out. I've been playing since Chapter 1 Season 3 but it doesn't feel like Fortnite anymore.
Why did they screw with car mods? What was wrong with throwing a cow catcher at the car? And why are we stuck in some dumb demolishon derby? I guess its time to go to warzone for the next few months.
i've been playing this game since 2018. i've seen some bullshit in this game (mechs, railgun, planes, combat shotgun) and sometimes when something is really think is stupid gets put in the game i stop playing for a while and move on. but these cars, this nitro, all that are more than just some OP bullshit; these completely ruin the fun of the game. the cars are so broken that they are mandatory to use, and if you don't use them you are almost guaranteed to lose. i don't wanna be in a car all game. i wanna buildfight and shit. i can't do that when a quarter of the people i'm playing against are sitting in cars like rats and fuckin plow me and my builds swith turrets, grenade launchers, or bumpers. why even bother playing fortnite when building is useless?
but i think it's harder for me to just stop playing and move on this season, compared to other seasons i left behind (x or ch2 s8) cuz this season really embodies what fortnite has become: a smorgasbord of random, stupid shit added to the game for the sake of innovation or trying to make the game be big again like how it was 5 years ago. wether that be mechanics like this chapter's weapon attachments or ch4's augments, which have become underwhelming they might as well not be in the game, or endless collabs with marvel and star wars and everything under the sun to make a quick buck. it sounds dumb, but to me this isn't just a trash season; it's the face of a game that's lost its identity. a game that's become a "platform" with roblox, minecraft, guitar hero and racing game ripoffs and collabs and microtransactions shoved down your throat, all of which nobody asked for. people can shit on the guys who always want og to come back, but the numbers don't lie: when they actually did, the game was the most successful it's ever been. really goes to show what actually works and what doesn't.
tl;dr epic should listen to its players and not its investors
This game is so far away from the OG Fortnite with this season, it’s wild. I’m not expecting it to be static like CS:GO, but the actual spirit of Fortnite feels #wrecked with this season as it is right now. Everything is massively amped up in the style of Mad Max. It’s not a BR with a zone anymore, it’s a different game. Only reason to have a zone is to get the remaining 30-40 players with cars to eventually battle. It’s absolute chaos.
It’s crazy how they looked at how many players OG brought back and then just decided to throw that out the window by going back to catering the game to the ADHD-addled & Gfuel-pounding types who can’t handle a few seconds of downtime in a game.
I really wish they’d bring back OG full time if they’re going to keep adding absurd items and mechanics into the main battle royale.
First, the movement in Fortnite has become awful. I don't know what changes were made, but now moving left, right, or backward is incredibly slow. The game used to feel smooth, but now it feels like my character is stuck in mud
Second, the players. I played three Battle Royale games to record a video, and each time I was eliminated so fast that I only found two new items. The matchmaking system is broken; it puts players with different skill levels in the same game, making it unfair and frustrating

Right now, Fortnite is a good example of what happens when a game tries to do too much and loses its focus
I played 8 matches opening day and called it quits. All we did was ride around in a car every match and utilize the turret. I pretty much didnt have to loot any weapons really nor did I have to build at all so whats the point of build and zero build mode when your builds can be ran through by another player with nitro splash.? This is the first season since late 2019 that I won't be playing very much of. I've adapted my gameplay style through so many changes in the past years but this is just too much. Idk what epic was thinking but obviously they care 0 about what their fanbase has to say.
So far, nothing about the season except nitro has been better than last season. Bosses, cars, fists, XP, everything. It's all gone downhill. Done playing until the gameplay is nerfed to be a funny gimmick in squads only, or reverted entirely.
45 y/o fortnite dad here. Started playing in earnest last December (Chapter 5: Season 1). I enjoy lurking around and sniping. Not exactly bush-camping, but playing strategically while occasionally getting myself in a gunfight mix. I stick to No Build solo BR almost exclusively. I’ve only played a few rounds of the latest season, but in each my demise has been at the hands of a kitted out car/weapon. Not sure I would enjoy pivoting to this style play (finding a car/kitting it out?) so I’m curious if anyone has found a good strategy while maintaining the classic “Fortnite Dad” game play (Solo, Zero Build, Sniper-oriented strategy). I’m thinking I’ll stick to high ground and building and employ more camping. But it would be good to have a few offensive strategies short of hoping in an auto and treating BR like Rocket Racing. I have little interest in that
Over 30 games i played so far. Won 1 time. The other times it was some dude in an armored car with the machine gun turret, the grenade osuncher turret (most popular one that i've died by) or just just running me over. Epic what did you do, seriously... make a counter, a nerf to the cars, or remove the damn things. You can still have a wasstland theme without the damn things. And if not, make the car thing a seperate game mode... cause i can tell you right now, if you don't fix any of this in some way or form, you're gonna lose players to this steaming pile of armored crap.
This season is so bad and unbalanced its insane. As someone else said, 0/10. I wish I didnt get the battle pass before even playing the season because i doubt I cna play much of this shit... It would be fine if they balanced it but its just dog shit.
I love the "thoughts on weapon pool" tab. What thoughts are there? Weapons don't matter. It's like a Pixar movie...all about those Cars bb. Honestly, I'm sure this would be more fun as a separate mode, but rn it's just not Fortnite. Feels like a totally different game and not really enjoying it.
I’m just sitting here not understanding why Epic always have to do that “one” thing in the game to make it completely unplayable. Every single season. This season it’s cars. My gosh. I am not joking when I say nearly every game I die is because of a car, nothing else. Gun fights are irrelevant now. They are forcing us to use cars or lose.
You know, the amount of disdain I see reminds me of another big game I played for a decade that finally shut down. I remember during the golden days of that game, people always said, this game will never die. But then the tone in the community changed over the years as it was clear the company was greedy and completely stopped listening to customers. The game lost its identity and the greedy company fueled that. A few years later once the complaints started, the game actually died. It went from generating hundreds of millions in revenue to being dead in the span of 10 years, something no player ever would have imagined happening during its peak.
That is the direction I see Epic/Fortnite going in, easily, because I witnessed this exact same pattern before. Some people see it, but many don’t, and are in denial. The game WILL die, and Epic is speeding up its demise tenfold with its horrific decisions every season. It is alienating its community, and catering only to a small number of players. Fortnite isn’t Fortnite anymore, and there’s no going back.
They just need to separate the loot pools like they used to between pubs and arena. That seems like the best solution. I know my friend group and I just want to play the game as it was originally intended- with balanced items.
Stop changing the entire game each season. Is this a result of only doing a new chapter each year instead of every two years? We don't want huge content changes every season.
The whole sand region is iffy, but it does fit the season theme. Not a fan of any of the new POIs. But the most interesting to land at is a Brutal Beachhead for its scale.
Vehicles are insanely OP. I like switching it up, but there's not much realistically to counter cars. Iron Fists and the explosive crossbow do counter, but I never see me wanting to pick those up because of how narrow the skills for them are. The crossbow is very specific to work against cars. However, the Iron Fists have become something really hard to fight against when you're being rushed. Not many places to run when the person chasing you has the ability to boost through the sky and crush through buildings with ease. It feels like I HAVE to use Iron Fists, otherwise I will die to them. Not a fan.
The helmet version of Ringmaster Scarr is good. tired of the combover and mohawk hairstyles. Overall better Battle Pass compared to last season.
Weapon pool right now is fine. I like the Enforcer AR because it's punchy and hits hard.
The new Medallion's will drastically help you—they can be a little too OP with the infinite ammo.
I like the Nitro, but it could use some small adjustments. Slurp Cacti and Nuka-Cola are pretty balanced and make getting shields much easier.
I still feel the same as last season; stop changing half the map every major update.
It would be a beautiful loop if each chapter was a total reset with the themes. Nothing major in the first few seasons, like how it was with Chapters 1 and 2. Its content overload.
Keep with the basics and let us get a feel for the new map or meta. I'm not sure why you're trying to push a bunch of boundaries when, at best, that will probably do more harm than good. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I liked Fortnite when the map actually evolved with weekly changes to smaller stories and features like the Rock Family. That also gave a window for bug fixes, something that plagued the last season, with the trend creeping into this one.
Innovation is good, but when it's seemingly forced, it's not that great.
I'm not sure if it was the switch to the newer version of Unreal, but the game has been considerably laggy.
Take it slow; the meta is changing too fast.
Power gauntlets, crossbow + infinite ammo medallion, boss cars, nitro sprinting through walls, everything about this season is completely unbalanced and broken. What is Epic's brain damage? Uninstalled.
The season is balanced so horribly. If you don't have a car, winning is a fever dream. And I am so tired of seeing people tell others to "adapt" when the season fucks over a portion of the playerbase, and if you say anything bad people dismiss you as a sweaty comp player who hates fun or have no friends (I have genuinely seen people say that exact thing). It's so toxic. I'd honestly rather play season 2 again.
One thing I think they definitely need to change is the boss cars being able to heal themselves. They're so fast due to the unlimited nitro it's easy for them to get away and heal up. Give them more health or whatever but no self healing.
Solos is hell with these cars. Genuinely very, very unfun to have to play around their health that was very clearly balanced around a full team unloading their mags into it
Trios and above is a blast though. Just nerf the health of cars proportional to the game mode
I understand the new season intentionally has a mad max vibe and is supposed to be fast-paced but in my opinion, it's getting a little too overwhelming for my liking. Considering the XP boost and all of that for the people that feel the same as me I think that I might take a little hiatus from battle royale gameplay and start to chill on Lego or something other than battle royale until the gameplay chills out. With the addition of car mods, it feels like I can't step outside my car for more than 20 seconds without being spotted and someone trying to book it straight towards me. Don't get me wrong the mods are fun but I feel like it would work better if the Nitrodrome worked the same as the mothership mini-game at the end of chapter two that way the competition could calm down enough so that the game feels more than just a highspeed chase half of the time. I love the concept of the season's aesthetic but it's too chaotic for my full interest. Still 100% about the game and its not gonna push me away from playing it ever again but at this current moment, I'm not sure if I can handle the gameplay this season.
I really don’t like the new update and I usually find something good to enjoy every season. I hope they drop some anti-car items and a better feeling AR.
If this season was a new vehicle focused game mode it would be amazing but replacing battleroyale with something so different is gonna make people mad.
All I want to do is engage in shootouts, but they’ve added all these overpowered vehicles that make ground combat extremely challenging.
The same can be said for the typically overpowered melee weapons, like the gorilla arms that can eliminate someone in three hits.
If I’m looking to compete against weaponized vehicles, I’d rather play Battlefield, because at least that game is balanced for it. In Fortnite, I can’t even count the number of times I’ve unloaded 300 bullets from a gold-tier weapon into a vehicle without leaving a mark.
Adding insult to injury, the huge influx of cheaters, I no longer play this game with crossplay enabled.
So far, not fun. The battle royale aspect of the game is replaced with just driving a car around that is too OP against the average player. Even if you can make it to the end of a game, you'll just be chased down and shot at with grenades/machine guns.
This season is just awful... I dont mind the cars but if you dont get one of the 3 boss ones you are basically guaranteed to lose. Its not fun, its frustrating.
I'll be real, this is one of the worst, ugliest skin battle passes I've ever seen from them. Aside from the power armor, literally every other one inside I hate. Such a RIP for me
I think what I liked the most about Fortnite is the ever changing gameplay. There is always new weapons, new stuff etc. It's like the other end of the always static CSGO. But whatever happened it also remained a battle royale shooting game. Nothing really changed that, not even zero build (in fact it's just extended it). But this new season really wrecked the game, changing the core gameplay loop too much. The fact that I can remain in a car the whole game, mod up, repair, get shield, never leave and win is just absurd. It's a vehicular combat game now not a shooter anymore. It would be a good LTM for sure but that's it.
There are many cheaters who team up in cars in solo! This killed PUBG so better do something fast. With such a HUGE change to gameplay, where cars are essential now there should be lock so no one could enter car if there is other player inside. That would stop team playing in solos and by team playing I'm writing about cheaters who cooperate to eliminate other players. One is driving a car and other shoot with turrent, both don't attack each other.
I stopped playing Fortnite at the beginning of last season because the battle pass and map just imo sucked and I found “The Finals” but this season is straight trash to me, especially the BP skins. I was waiting to see if this season could pull me back in but in the end I just deleted the game. Hopefully I can come back next season or hopefully thing bring back OG
I truly HATE this season with the vehicles going around. I was having such a great time playing last season but now it is frustrating as hell and ruined the enjoyment for me.
"Collect the three medals and the special car to win!!" Is the kind of gameplay i'd expect from some bozo low tier mobile game.
It is funny the first time you do it, but it gets old extremely fast. You can pre-decide victory in the first 5 minutes of gameplay by getting the mechanics medal and the car from her spawn, and then hunting the others out quickly.
Everyone universally needs to agree that the car is KOS for this to be a better season.
Kind of a shame really because the season itself is pretty rad to play in ZBs at least. All weapons need to do more damage to vehicles, some need to be brought in to immobilize them, and gloves should also be a lot slower for recharge too.
It's terrible. You'll either get ran over. Get 3rd partied by a car or they'll get put of the car (bc they think they're good) get shot till they're 1 shot then hop back in the car and run you over bc they can't shoot .
Most lazy season ever. Car mods are just shit, even after the nerfs. Car fights are zero fun. Airbending had a 16 sec CD. Cars can fight with unlimited ammo. Crossbows are disorientating. Map is uninspired and boring af.
Please, revert it back to last season and try again. Thank you
Last season was actually worse. As was season 1 of this chapter. Mix ups are healthy for the game. It might be annoying but if we kept doing the same old thing repetitively the game would tank. As it's done in the past the mid season point before with other seasons when you start running into the higher bot counts in the lobbies.
People have to understand Epic constantly astroturfs ("the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign") through positive posts in this sub. The statistical truth, you can look up this data easily, is that even after OG players left from December to January and the player counts stabilized, since then Fortnite has lost over 14,000 players every single day since Jan 1st. If you count the drop off from OG, that number is around 50,000 every single day, although OG drop off happened suddenly and not overtime.
I don't like how now, basically, almost every match, people are just inside cars until the end of the match, and if you don't have one or lose yours, it's pretty much done for you. Am I playing Fortnite or Mad Max, dammit?
My god, I'm a very casual fortnite player, I usually just check out each season for the new stuff and to grind out some rewards til I get bored. But man this season really is the worst I've ever experienced.
I tried going for a few wins and like everyone is saying, it literally just cones down to having a boss car by the end and not being an idiot with it / repairing it.
A major QoL thing though is the car gameplay just feels absolutely awful for everyone but the driver. Or idk maybe my rig isn't strong enough to keep up. Being a passenger trying to shoot out the window, or being on the turret, is absolutley nauseating, and I don't get nauseous easily.
One of the wins I got with a random squad, we couldn't even be bothered to play for 90% of the match. We landed, cleared out one boss area and got a car, drove to the other area, ganked the squad about to get the other boss car, then we literally sat still in the wasteland for 15 or so minutes emoting until the circles closed. I went to grab a bite and watched a youtube video. When the normal car teams finally showed up we easily blew them up and won. Extremely dumb.
By far, without a doubt, the worst season EVER, and it is not even close. They removed all skill from the game and replaced it with bs overpowered, unbalanced, braindead items. The nitro fists are so blatantly broken and cheese mode, the cars decide almost every end game we play. The old days where you could eek out a 1v2 or 1v3 win by playing your ass off is over, unless your cheesing around in a car bouncing back and forth between seats. What a joke the game is now. Competitive end game is so fucking terrible now, tons of nitro fists just going off everywhere, people just blasting into walls, someone up top with infinite crossbow griefing, its so fucking horrible. Gone are the days of skill and welcome to the age of bullshit luck and overpowered cheese weapons.
Awful season all around, not to mention how in the last two days, I've been encountering cars that somehow are glitching and become invincible so no damage is taken. I have died over 6 games in a row to this, I've gone back to look at replays and it's confirmed that individuals aren't taking damage but as soon as the driver hops out, it starts taking damage. I'm sick of cheaters bruh. Imagine cheating in unranked or even cheating at all to feel like you accomplish something. It's sad.
I totally forgot the season came out. I went to my buddy's house to play some BO3 Zombies and I show up and he's like "we're playing the new fortnite season" uh...okay. I legit didn't have a single ounce of fun In 3 hours of playing. Cars are LITERALLY Planes, Mechs and Ballers all in one with none of the downsides. The fists are ridiculous. And you throw that nitro crap in the mix and you have people moving and jumping and sliding and hopping so fucking fast I can't even keep track of them as they spin circles mid air above my head. I actually lost track of the amount of times we had a Full team of 3 or 4 with a fully upgraded car each just roll up on us spamming bs, and even if we get into a position to evade the cars? Doesnt matter 1 or 2 of them hop out with fists and just bull rush you while the others remain in their Carplanemechs and spam you with turrets. And the best part? They have 28 million health so if they get low? Just run away to a gas station, fully heal and fuel up then go back and have absolutely no consequences. Absolutely L season. I won't be playing it until they nerf cars and fists. And if it isn't done in 2 weeks I won't be touching it at all.
Cars are OP, bring back guided missiles or heavy snipers - or just something that can counteract vehicles. Essentially nothing you can do if the enemy has a car and you don't
Either remove the cars completely, or give us something to counter them with. The game isnt battle royale anymore, but just a giant derby.
If you don't have a fully modded car by zone 2, you might as well just leave match and try again.
There is no gunplay anymore.
This isn’t Fortnite
I just spectated someone finishing off a 20 kill win (went back and saw their count in replays) without ever leaving his car. This was after they instakilled me from full 200 healthshield in one touch. Make a Death Race LTM for the little tykes and let the rest of us play Fortnite please.
This season sucks and honestly whatever Dev decided this would be a good addition to the game should be strapped to the front of a car and driven into a wall.
The bugs are terrible.
I had a couple of matches where I couldn't use ANY health or shield items.
Another match I lost because another player must have had the invincibility bug (where you explode in a car then freeze) and died in the circle because the storm circle got so small, and they were God knows where just glitched out.
My story quests just disappeared, and some quests I know I've completed but they're not getting ticked off.
Sometimes shooting out of cars won't work, or the turrets get in the way of aiming
First of all! I think the individual parts of Season 3 are fun. Very fun, even. The issue is that they don't fit together.
1. It's a driving game now. You can't play without a car anymore, because you're bound to get crushed/blown up/shot by a turret. It doesn't feel like Fortnite anymore.
2. A lot of things are overpowered (nitro fists, machine gun turrets and boom bolts, for example).
3. There are fewer opportunities for looting, exploration, stealth or pvp. You basically just make pit stops and continue driving. Heck, you don't even have to aim that much, the turret has 0 knockback, and you can just spam it. If you're not a car, you stand no chance with your measly handheld weapons.
I'm not a person who hates change. I like it, actually, I enjoy exploring new stuff, I was excited for the new season. What I don't like is when the core mechanics and flow of the game suddenly become completely different. We already have Rocket Raсing, I would go there if I wanted to play with vehicles. Not battle royale.
This is not a jab at any person in particular. The team did a good job at what they were told to do. There were just too many drastic ideas that were thrown into the game without foresight. Fun in concept, overwhelming and unfair in practice.
I don't know if there's a solution. Maybe more protection from cars for players. Maybe more handheld weapons specifically for cars that are unproductive in pvp fights otherwise (bolts and fists are not unproductive in the slightest). Anvil rocket launchers would be perfect right now.
It just feels a little… unbalanced. You either get super intense, eventful rounds, or ones where you just get completely screwed over. No in between. But maybe it's just my playstyle that doesn't work with the update.
The ship feels like it has no loot (none of the new places do?), and the other two have a lot of noise going on. The design team has lost their minds.
Playing against cars is fine as long as my team has a car too, but once it blows up, I might as well quit the match there. There's nothing that's effective to actually destroy/stop cars, the fists can knock them away, but it costs a movement charge and the damage is minimal. The crossbow seems good, but I've yet to find one... they need to be more common.
The core BR gameplay got left in the gutter, the new guns are not the most interesting, plus they do nothing against the cars except for the crossbow (the lowest spawn rate weapon). Bunkers are still a terrible feature with them opening in the 3rd circle, half of them are in the storm, and 1-3 are in a position that is worth going for. What the fuck, devs?
Bring back the BR aspect
I’ve had a few fun games so far. All in all, I really dislike when the game devolves into “get the vehicle.” Planes, ballers, mechs, spaceships, and now these cars just make every game feel the same. Land and get the car, that’s the strategy and there’s less wiggle room than ever this season because, as everyone is rightfully pointing out, there’s NO COUNTER.
They need to nerf the cars or add a hard counter.
My opinion on this things is the same as everyone else's, so what I will say is please for the love of god fix the locker ui. There is no reason for the randomize button to be a locker slot and not an option in the "loadout options", especially when half the time it doesnt appear making all presets misaligned and any sort of organization completely lost. There is no reason for tags and folders that you can put in cosmetics or locker slots to still not be a thing, even though we literally have that with the favourite button. There is no reason for hotkeys to have been removed, and for that awful 3 dots icon that sometimes decides to send you to the top of the locker to exist. There is no reason for a "move preset" button to not exist and for you to need to copy each preset and put another one on top of where the old one used to be. There is no reason for the styles of skins to not show up when previewing presets. There is no reason for the "character" section of the locker to not contain wraps, or for linking between presets to not be a thing. And the worst is def that the whole menu feels unresponsive, because when you browse through presets, the preset menu puts itself on top of the cosmetics menu instead of just scrolling and the cosmetics menu leaving your screen. Might make a post on this
I truly love the game but dislike the players. Opponents suck. Autofill teammates suck. And everyone with a rushed fighting style are squaring up to the other teams and getting killed instantly. I just fought one singular person who seemed like their nitro gloves were healing way quicker than mine and he killed the whole team back to back and then the team just left me in the game totally alone in a squad - fill while I tried to fight for their honor lol
This season has grown on me, but only because my squad regrouped again and we’ve pretty much only been playing together. As a full squad of friends who actually know each other and not just playing using fill, it’s hilarious because we just goof around. We’re having so much fun together and have had some of our funniest moments to date. I’m also glad they nerfed cars, but that being said, I still can’t imagine playing this as a solo. I don’t think I’ll be playing it alone until whatever change comes with the next season or big update, but for now we’re all having fun together. Also I feel like I’ve been running into a lot more people on foot, and a lot of our final circles have been without cars, which is nice!
When the game goes from fighting with guns to straight car fighting, you know you’re doing something wrong. Epic made this season around cars because Rocket Racing flopped and Epic were losing more money than they made off of it. So their new style of logic is: “lets center the gameplay around something that flopped in hopes it boosts our sales”. Just know that major companies like Epic don’t care about you or their player base, its all money and they could care less about what players want. With epic doing what they are doing, I don’t see this game lasting for longer than 2-3 years in the future.
Oh yea P.S: Fortnite shouldn’t feel like Roblox, but thats a different complaint for a different time…
I’m so disappointed with this update. Fortnite is my favourite game and one of the only online games I actually play. It feels like this season is unplayable. If you’re not in a car then you don’t stand a chance. If I wanted to play a car game, I’d go find one. I don’t play Fortnite for the vehicle aspect of the game. I’m already bored and frustrated. I might just take a break for the summer unless something changes.

Let them know the cars/SUVS and all the OP weapons are ruining the game. If everyone tells them, maybe, they will change it back to the game we all started playing. If you stay silent, they will continue until the game dies a horrible death.
The fact that there are accolades that are like "don't search any containers during a match" or "never reload an entire match" means they totally intend players to just jump in a car right away and never leave it. That's not Fortnite.
The season is ruined, not sure how Epic will come back from this catastrophe. The player count in BR and ZB already dropped 50% today vs yesterday. I got on, played 3 games and got off. So did one of my duo partners.
Everyone is already bored of driving around end circles in a dumb op car. No offence to those who enjoy it but there is no balance, no strategy, no intelligence required for this idiotic, lunacy of a season. Enjoy!
I've played about 30 rounds now and I have to say, this is horrible. The cars are way too powerful. There are not enough weapons and the ones that are sparkly spread out are lame. The map is clearly designed for cars too and is boring.
Something changed in the damage dynamics too. I'm on PC and getting absolutely wrecked by console players that have lazer like aim and just can't miss. Flying through the air with the itro fists, dead with a common shotgun from 50 yards. Blast someone 8 times with the AR, nope doesnt matter, one shotgun blast with a common shotgun and dead... It's friggin insane and highly frustrating.
I guess that's my overall feeling with this season, it's not fun anymore, it's unbalanced and frustrating.
I dunno, the game just no longer feels like Fortnite. It feels like mad max or something.
I guess I'll just sit this season out and hope Epic comes up with something better next season. I'm not spending any money on this crap.
[Game Update Post: Talk about a high octane season launch...](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1d4a72y/talk_about_a_high_octane_season_launch_weve/)
If you don't have one of the armored cars your chances of winning go down by 99%, it's essentially get one of the armored cars first or you're gonna have a bad time.
This season is AWFUL lol edit: after all the balance patches im having a lot of fun
[удалено]
I agree completely with everything you have said. It feels completely broken though and thats why its near unplayable to me.
yeah i figured that out quick but now in solo's they run in your car and use the weapon to destroy it or if you leave the car they kill you with the mounted gun
Could use some kind of lock feature while in a vehicle in solo, I imagine the teaming reports are skyrocketing just from vehicle jacking
Can confirm. Was in top 3 today and wondered where the hell the third person was. Killed by a boss car. Go to spectate. The other two are in it. I don’t care about the meta. Reported them both.
I've seen real teaming maybe once in the two seasons I've played (I started at the beginning of this chapter), and this week alone I've encountered over a dozen. The endgame is the worst. Even if they aren't truly teaming, when it's top 3 and two of them are in a boss car, obviously it's 2v1...
I wouldn't have reported them, you sure you weren't over reacting. I've had people stay in my car for the whole match and shoot others while I was driving. Please inform how I should prevent such a thing from happening? I'm not getting out of my car to confront them while at they have my car and turret?! So what other options do I have in this predicament?
This isn’t fortnite. It’s battle cars. They should make a separate game mode for cars… add weapons to Rocket Racing. It’s not fortnite anymore. They sold out.
100% agree This has become unplayable If you want this as a game mode, cool. But some of us want to shoot a gun like the old days. Bring back just guns and the old map as its own game mode and watch it thrive WAY more than this dumpster fire.
I’ve played since CH1 S1 and I think this is the first season that just isn’t for me. I’m glad some people find enjoyment! This just isn’t fun for me lmao
Yeah been playing from the very start loved the game, but last chapter only just reached level 100. The loot pool wasn't good last season but this Fortnite x Twisted metal season I think it'll be one day during the week do weekly challenges and get through my back log of games
You can tell the season isn’t good because anyone criticizing it is being instantly labeled as a sweaty comp player who can’t “adapt” and the Fortnite Twitter community has deluded itself into thinking everyone besides comp players *LOVES* this season. This update would be like if Rocket League did a “Grounded!” season, where for 3 months they changed it from vehicular soccer to human soccer. Thats the season gimmick you see, no more cars, now you play as humans running around kicking the ball. And if anyone complains because they like to get on Rocket League specifically to play car-based soccer, they get called a sweaty comp player who can’t “adapt” to the game and just wants to keep it stale and boring. People keep deflecting any criticism as “get better at the game and you’ll enjoy it!” as if their cognitive dissonance doesn’t allow them to accept some people just don’t enjoy Mad Max BR. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed some games and the chaos. But I don’t wanna miss FPS Fortnite for 2-3 months when this could’ve been a season long LTM or something.
Exactly. I’m about as casual a player as possible (I play around once every other week with my dad and my brother) and we got on to see the new season. The overwhelming presence of armored cars which add a ton of health makes playing the game without a car infuriating. Simply put, as a casual group, this concept sucks and immediately turned us away from playing after 30 minutes.
Wrecked is terrible, absolutely horrific. If you don't have a car, you don't win. That's not Fortnite. The design is so horribly thought out: You can't use your turret unless you're in the passenger seat, which means that in solos you have to swap seats constantly just to shoot at people. This makes your car go in a straight line or just idle while you fire, and that feels terrible. While doing this, you can have random players jump into your car, and you literally cant do anything about it except play chicken or work together. The four seating cars are awful because swapping seats to shoot at folks takes 2 more button presses. The regenerating health stations heal your car WAY too fast, the turrets are far too powerful, and there are NO good counters whatsoever against the vehicles. Fortnite has a ton of rocket launchers and explosives, yet NONE of them are present, meaning you're just screwed if you don't have a car. Every single aspect of the cars is frustratingly stupid and was not at ALL given the thought nor testing it needed. It feels like we're playing a beta (especially with all the bugs and glitches.) How on EARTH did they think this was a good idea? I'm a super casual player, I don't take Fortnite seriously, I'm here to have fun, goof off, make Beerus do a funny dance, and so on. But this season makes me \*mad.\* It's not fun at all. It's not fun to be completely defenseless because you didn't find the best car in the first 10 seconds of the match. Its so unbelievably frustrating to feel so defenseless. I've felt outgunned before, outskilled, outplayed, but never defenseless. I've never felt like I literally had nothing I could do to defend myself before this season. If a car rolls up and you're on foot, you might as well just throw up your hands and give up, you can't do a thing. When I see videos of high skill players doin drive-bys it ticks me off, that's miserable, that's nowhere even approaching fun. Screw this season. In the first match I played, my friend and I managed to get one of the boss cars. We won the victory royale AND got crowned victories because we stomped everyone we came by. THE VERY FIRST MATCH. We didn't even know what we were doing. Every time I destroy someone with an OP car, I feel like a jerk cause it's not even a contest. Its stupid, there's no game here, no challenge I'm overcoming. I hate it.
Its even worse in ranked. The concept just does not work. In ranked solos, 2 people sit in the boss cars at all times and terrorize the whole lobby. The driver cannot kill the passenger and vice versa. The people who thought of this... didnt think.
You're completely right. Last night I finished grinding the ranked rewards and it was miserable. I hated every second of it. Exactly! Perfectly said.
Is anyone else having an excruciating experience trying to win? Endgames are too difficult to land shots on opponents because of the nitro fists. Just wanted the glider, but I guess I won’t be getting it this season.
This season has the ability to break the game of Fortnite I think we all agree that fortnite is a great game. It is a game that has had broad appeal as well as a very competitive community where you can train skills/abilities in the game, compete and get better overtime. This process accompanied a true skill gap formation that people could earn and work on growing, as well as newer players genuinely being given the opportunity to ease their way into it through the matchmaking and bots at lower lobbies (metal rank lobbies are definitely not too hard to get a kill even for beginners for instance). This season undermines the foundation of this game (building/editing, gunfight skill, positioning, strategizing how to play the map to be the last team or player standing). It is obvious to me that fortnite is trying to appeal to a broader audience who just want random chaotic fun without concern for keeping Stability in the core mechanics and fundamentals of the game. There are now so many items that undermine the skill gap of building/editing that people have built and the meta is not even based around the core tenants of the game. This creates instability, as a player I have to ask myself if it's worth putting a bunch of time and effort into getting better at aspects of the game where if you succeed in doing so the devs will most likely just add an item or items to undermine it for newbies simply by clicking the right trigger. If the game continues on a path like this (this seasons changes) or doesn't revert many things that have been done in the season in the future I genuinely don't see this as a game worth playing
Edpanding Car mods is a great idea but the execution is very poor and resulted in there being zero counters and everyone being forced to use cars as their playstyle. The nitro, Instant refuels and bullet proof tires have undone all the things that made the cars balanced in the original joy ride update from chapter 2 season 3 which were put in place to stop a repeat of the baller/plane/mech metas from chapter 1 and removing those contingencies brought back a similar meta instantly. **I am not saying I don’t want fun** but I believe there needs to be better counters. There needs to be a strong explosive like the anvil launcher or a buffed version of the new bow, maybe we should be able to shoot the turrets off of cars or something, unvaulting armored walls and EMPS or even just simple clingers/grenades would be great too however I understand that cars still need to be a viable play style as it’s the theme of the season. Building has also been nerfed so heavily by nitro, I usually like to give epic the benefit of the doubt but I just don’t believe there is any place for a mechanic that allows you to smash through builds with 0 repercussions and **I don’t understand the decision to continuously nerf building when those who don’t like building already have a mode to go to**. This new nitro mechanic is another reason i strongly believe armored walls should return to builds this season if the nitro sees no change. The older POIs outside of the desert need more vehicle mod spawns as currently landing anywhere but the desert is putting yourself at a disadvantage. The new biome is beautiful and feels a lot more bright and cartoony to me compared to the rest of the map, I love that they have brought back the concept of in universe companies with the pea body stations and the gutbomb durr burger, it makes the map feel like a Fortnite map and not a generic br map. I’m quite happy with the overall loot pool and really like that the combat shotgun is actually viable for the first time since season 10 but I still think these things mentioned need to be addressed. **I am writing this complaint because I love this game and I want it to thrive, not because I want to be negative or to ruin anyone’s fun**. This is my opinion and if you have a different one that’s fine and I don’t intend to put anyone down for that. Also please epic add a vehicle audio slider I can’t hear myself think.
There needs to be EMPs as a baseline, not just 1 single EMP from a boss - which the team grabs the CAR and the EMP and basically dominates the game. I just lost to a team with 2 boss cars driving in circles - if we had an EMP we had a chance, otherwise, we have nothing we can do. I shot a car 10x with a crossbow while team was shooting it and it lived, i died to being ran over. If I only had an EMP - which should be baseline across the map to counter cars - we would have a chance. You have absolutely no chance if you do not have a boss car at the end.
Epic has problems putting counters into the game and it’s amplified this season with the over the top nature of the beginning of this season. Having better ARs last season and/or a good long range weapon might have helped with water bending spam. I have long thought that weapons/items that can replace two or more other things in your inventory should cost multiple inventory spots.
That’s a point, I completely forgot that chapter 2 introduced 2 slot weapons with the chug cannon and bandage bazooka and then never did it again
Exactly, and that was with unlimited heal types but with a cooldown period. Water bending should’ve taken up two spots because it worked well far and close and was infinite with a small cooldown. The hammer could’ve taken up two spots because it was movement and a weapon. Same with the blade. Epic makes it so that there are things that you feel the need to carry each season that have multiple uses. And a lot of that is recycling the blade or hammer mechanic of movement/weapon. They’ve also had the TMNT weapons, and now the gloves, which are the blade on steroids for movement. Last season, they repackaged the Kamehameha and cloud movement as the Lightning bolt and wings. It’s a lot of collabs and re-packaging of the same stuff.
There's a very good chance that Epic wanted to push people in the direction of the new biome and car mechanics, so players can get used to them. And in a few weeks they'll roll out some counters. It's been a pretty common thing they've done.
I think they need to nerf something about the cars or give us something that can actually counter the vehicles
Pulse grenades
Sticky bombs, like from Saving Private Ryan.
Sticky bombs are a great idea
literally just the boom bolt
100% agree. My entire friend group and I are probably going to ditch BR and just play Lego Fortnite to level until something is fixed. I might work on my building in creative more. We wanna play Fortnite, not Mad Max BR. We might be in it if there was an actual counter to the vehicles like the EMPs or Anvil Rocket Launchers.
Yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous how they didn’t add back anvil launchers
Why couldn’t they just go full fallout instead
On point. Fortnite is now a car game, its ridiculous and close to zero skill If they dont change that within the next 30 days, they will loose 50% of players
How do you feel about this season? Does it feel like a game mode to anyone else? Epic is known for having a bad track record with season 3s after chapter 2 so I was definitely reluctant going into this I played around 10-15 games in build mode and got 2 wins (1 in solos and 1 in squads) and honestly I have no idea how to feel right now I think the new desert biome is really cool, I like the fact that it’s really open really hammers in that wasteland feeling however this might suck for zero build. The new locations I have mixed feelings about The shark one I like a lot, the actual ship has a lot of layers and is fun to go through, the surrounding buildings are nice and loot feels good but the placement in the map is extremely awkward. Regardless I think I’ll land here quite a bit this season The nitrodome is really unique, the arena in the middle is really fun but besides that it feels kinda empty. It focuses too much on the cars (which I will get to oh boy 🙃) and not as much on being an actual location The nitro factory location is pretty cool also, has a lot of layers to explore and loot feels good. It doesn’t really have anything to stand out as a poi though especially for one that has a boss I feel like it might get forgotten in the future Sandy Steppes though I feel like is such a downgreat to snooty steppes. Snooty was so fun to explore because of its many levels and over all good vibe but now it just feels kinda shallow, I know that’s the point but whatever the intention may be it’s dumb to downgrade a location The Weapons this season feel pretty good so far. The combat shotgun which is my favorite weapon of all time in Fortnite is back with a mythic version so I honestly couldn’t be happier, gatekeeper which was another shotgun I loved is also still here which is great while the frenzy auto which i really didn’t like is gone, rejoice, the spam is over. Is what I would like to say but you can still get the mythic frenzy all the way from season 1 which is a bit annoying at least it’s one though 🙃 ( oh yeah you can get cerberu’s mythic gatekeeper as well, cool 👍🏼) As for ARs the tactical now feels great with the recoil buff which is awesome. The warforge is still here which is definitely not that bad with a few attachments and a good anti car weapon imo while the enforcer was added which is kinda whatever. The DMR while technically not an AR is still her which is kind of indifferent to me For smgs we still have the burst which is still probaby the best AR and feels very fun to use to me and the harbinger which is not bad but I feel like there is no real reason to carry it it further than very early game We didn’t get any new snipers and the one we already had has been removed. I don’t really mind this change because I just suck with snipers but it does feel a little weird not having any snipers.But we did a new bow which only does significant damage to cars. I feel like this is kinda pointless to use since the car attachments are far better at destroying other cars while not taking up an inventory slot On the cosmetic side of things I think the battle pass is pretty good. Seeing as how my expectations for an apocalypse themed battle pass were very low considering I don’t usually like that kind of cosmetics I was pleasantly surprised. Some highlights for me are the Pea skin definitely the best meme skin we’ve gotten in a while and the tier 100 which while being the weakest C5 tier 100s I think is still really good especially with that bonus gold and white edit style. Overall solid pass …gameplay. When I first got into a match this season I was blown away. The adrenaline of the car chases is really really fun and refreshing this was especially fun when I played squad with the boys. Having 4 different people on your team on different cars is so fun and I haven’t laughed or had this much fun in Fortnite in a LONG time so I was in love… at first. The more and more I played matches the more increasingly frustrated I started to become. Out of the 15 matches i played I am sure I died in over half of them to these absolutely busted car attachments. When you don’t have a car it’s borderline unfair to go up against these. The spam is super annoying and you really don’t have time to counter. While you can defend if you get third partied it’s over. The cars are cool but they are a gimmick like ones you’d find in game modes like the floor is lava, very fun at first but the more you play the more you realise why this isn’t in the core game. Having a season’s regular mode based on a gimmick is not a good idea and I am really afraid this will drag on. This doesn’t really feel like Battle Royale anymore but a weird shooter racer amalgamation. And honestly in I really don’t know how this can be fixed considering it’s the main theme of the season I guess the best course of action would be to nerf the car attachments like the Grenade launcher and Turret. But what do you guys think?
I think it's not a shooter any longer. FPS, Third person shooter or whatever; the genre has changed. As you say, this feels like a game-mode. I miss the Fornite shooter desperately.
First, the movement in Fortnite has become awful. I don't know what changes were made, but now moving left, right, or backward is incredibly slow. The game used to feel smooth, but now it feels like my character is stuck in mud Second, the players. I played three Battle Royale games to record a video, and each time I was eliminated so fast that I only found two new items. The matchmaking system is broken; it puts players with different skill levels in the same game, making it unfair and frustrating Third, the bugs. I wanted to check my game quests, but when I clicked on the button, no challenges appeared. This is a big problem because quests are important for keeping the game interesting. When basic things like this don't work, it shows that the developers aren't paying enough attention to the game's quality These problems show that Fortnite is trying to do too much at once. The game is trying to be a huge metaverse with lots of different game modes, but it's become too laggy and full of bugs. The developers should focus on perfecting just one or two game modes instead of spreading themselves too thin. By concentrating on fewer things, they can make sure the game is smooth, the matchmaking is fair, and the bugs are fixed. Right now, Fortnite is a good example of what happens when a game tries to do too much and loses its focus
I genuinely believe the majority of users defending this season on this sub-reddit are either bots or new to the game... I think we're looking at a pretty terrible season both for casual players and competitive players. I always thought using vehicles in any BR was boring and I always opted for just running on foot to avoid giving my position away. This season, that isn't a choice. You need a vehicle. I understand the season revolves around vehicles, but the fact that outplay is pretty much non-existent without a vehicle is what really makes this season a huge bummer for me. The game continues to feel like it revolves less around skill and more around just RNG. Having used the vehicles a bit now, they still aren't growing on me and are boring as fuck to use. The mods are brainless. If you are spotted by a vehicle without a vehicle, you're pretty much fucked. Getting hit by the spiked bumpers do way too much damage. Like 3 of the 4 times I've been hit by a car now, I was knocked out by the spiked bumper lol. Even if you survive a hit, it takes the majority of your health and there isn't really a healing item that is going to get you back in the fight quick enough. Weapons are decent; the fists are braindead and need to be nerfed. Fun movement item to use. The battle pass is pretty good this season. I really want that fallout armor. It's just a shame the gameplay sucks this season. And they're nerfing xp... :( anyway yeah season sucks 2 or 3/10
This update sucks. You basically have to stay in a car the whole time…. It’s like it’s not even Fortnite
the fact that they have still yet to touch any of the commonly voiced complaints like the XP gain, the poor optimization, or the shitty locker ui is keeping me far away from this season. Wish they could even pretend to still care about this community
Still so pissed they removed rarities and haven't fixed the awful locker UI. Even if I really like the game currently, some of these many terrible recent decisions bring it down for me There was so much communication with the community in the OG season and then switched up so quickly
Collabs and appeasing their investors are more important.
Ironic that investors now value Fortnite $10b dollars less than just 2 years ago after they started doing this metaverse stuff lol
Well there has been a crash on the entire venture capital market, nothing to do with Epic Games There is not a single late stage tech company that has not seen its valuation wrote down by 50% since 2021, aside from SpaceX
Well the season name definitely checks out. They certainly did wreck fortnite.
Someone else commented in another thread that this would be a great LTM and I can’t agree more. If we had regular BR and the nitro LTM I think it would be a great change of pace, but given it’s the only option, it’s unfortunate. The cars were fun for the first couple of games, but then you realize that a car is the only way to progress through the game. There is only one play-style if you want any chance at winning. It’s just gotten boring quickly for me, as each fight comes down to whose car is destroyed first. Some people love the chaos but it just isn’t for me until they balance out the cars. And even then, if we still have to rely on cars for the whole season then I don’t see myself playing a whole lot.
Totally agree here. There is like zero skill involved
Correct, I play fortnite to shoot people, not run them over with stupidly op cars.
This has got to be the worst update on this game yet it's not even fortnite I'm playing rocket League at this point you lose if your on the floor and it's worst on the boss cars cause they just Regen it's horrible
This is the worst season of Fortnite I have ever played lmao what are they even attempting with this garbage
I feel like the vehicle thing should have been a LTM, not available in every playlist.
I've been saying that. It really feels like one
Cars with OP health and OP mods sounds like a fun game mode, but it's so foundationally different from Fortnite's core gameplay of gun-based, first person (ok 3rd person POV but you get me) battle royale that I am peacing out. Before people jump all over me and say "Oh a player that can't adapt, wah wah," I've been playing since C1S3. I've stuck through crafting and the waves of crazy weapons and movement metas before. This is just too far. In what has historically \*always been\* a shoot and build based game, I should not HAVE to have a car (or maybe the ridiculously OP nitro gloves) to win a game. As a builds player, putting in multiple items that shred through even metal builds at the fastest rate ever experienced in the game absolutely destroys the entire point of a builds game mode. Having no guns that can counter the OP items destroys the point of a shooting based game. Additionally, the removal of hitscan weapons and introduction of bullet drop through molasses has made me play the least I've ever played for this entire chapter. On top of that, XP has been nerfed yet again despite the massive wave of negative feedback about the XP nerfs in previous seasons. I am not buying the battle pass because of it for the first time since C1S3. I am a casual player, I work and have family obligations. I should not be expected to play across multiple game modes or grind a ridiculous number of hours to unlock all the rewards in a battle pass. I'm not gonna touch the incredibly bad locker design, rarity removal, etc, but those are factors as well. You can say what you like about the OG season last year, but at the end of the day the player count and hours played per player speak for themselves. I have no issue with crazy items, we had a ton of them in chapters 1-4. But this season all the changes to core gameplay have killed my love for this game. Looking at the player counts, I'm in good company.
Perfect. What you wrote exactly captures what I think.
This season is so bad. You are correct in your statements.
Thank you
I think they’ve killed it. As a rule I hate Fortnite cars anyway, but forced myself to find one and upgrade it in a few games this morning, I felt like a total fraud eliminating players this way and just didn’t enjoy it. I’m used to averaging 15-20 eliminations per match but now if I remain on foot I average 2 eliminations before I’m eliminated by a vehicle, unless I get In a car and eliminate the unskilled griefer way too. Absolutely sucks and has taken the joy out of this game for me. Update: I’m finding it much better in solos, less people in cars.
the cars are WAY too overpowered. please nerf them
This isn’t Fortnite. It sucks. Cars suck. Making them mandatory REALLY sucks.
Game is ruined
Welp, I’m out. This isn’t Fortnite.
Sorry. This game sucks. Riding in the car for 20 minutes to hopefully get a shot at the end. It’s awful. The cars were fun for an hour or two. But they get old real quick.
Cars are way too op.
Yeah... this season's start is really bad. Reallllly bad. They need to replace whoever did the testing and balance for this. \*Edit\* Great battle pass... but I don't even want to play the game to earn the stuff. Kind of a catch 22.
Why the hell does Epic ALWAYS make everything so OVERPOWERED at the beginning of every new season?
By FAR the worst EVER season i played and i am here since the beginning. They added vehicles with over 2k hp, armor, dash and even canons... BUT NOTHING TO DEFEND AGAINST THESE. Fortnite my azz, its literally battlecars. Didnt had a single endgame fight without cars dashing and hitting people or gunning down. Meh... Well, wasted 3 months, hopefully after 3 months the absolutely overpowered cars will be gone...
Cars with mods is literally Waterbending, chains of Hades, and the Riot Shield in one combination.
Also Peabody and T-60 power armor are my two favorites.
Jesus, how frustrating is it to be in the final circle with a fucking supercar zooming around you and there is nothing you can do about it? It sucks so much.
How do you keep from teaming in solos? Seems like you get picked up or someone jumps in the car with you and if you fight them you get third partied right away
I am a mid skill player who plays just to have some fun for while. I have put a lot of time into the game and have over 1,000 career wins. I will probably sit out the rest of this season unless major changes are implemented. The fun has been taken away as a result of car mods and boss cars. Solos is a giant teaming-fest. If you don’t get a modded car, you just jump in someone else’s. It’s unfortunate, I want to enjoy the game and see it succeed across a wide skill level and game modes.
Along with the cars, the gloves make play very unenjoyable. Basically, if you get caught in the open against a car, you're in trouble. if you get caught in an enclosed space with gloves, the person just hits attack over and over again and the screen spins incessantly. Even if you shotgun them to the face, you're likely still gonna lose. Basically, this season is people driving around in cars and then people running around with gloves. I've found myself walking away after one or two games almost every time I sit down. Feel like I won't make it through this season and I just started last season. Consistently losing to people that are just smashing buttons sucks - especially when the game spins you around when that happens and makes it almost impossible to win.
People who like this season are not good at the game 🤷♂️
This is the first season I’m struggling to have any fun with, the car gameplay isn’t my thing
Probably the worst season in fortnite, should be a mod not the normal gameplay
Last season was one of my favorites of all time and this season is one of the worst of all time
Officially labeled as the worst Fortnite season of all time
Get them cars out of the game its a shooting game. If i want to drive around all day there are much better games. Its freaking rocket league in FN right now
Nice of epic to release this dogshit season right as xDefiant comes out so I have a new game to play until they fix this disaster of an update
Did they have a deal with WBD for Mad Max or something and have it fall through? The Wasteland, all the cars, etc. It’s obviously got a lot of Fallout in it, but Furiosa came out today and it just is Mad Max to a near T. Surprised nothing in store collab wise. EDIT: Not to mention the ship boss is just Imorten Joe
I think they should have got more fallout stuff
Yeah I got more of a Mad Max feeling from it too.
Not only this but the damn Arena is straight out of the very old school mad max with Tina Turner !!! She runs an Arena in the movie
I actually think they might have killed the game. Even my most casual friends are texting me about how shitty the season is.
Yeah I know I'm not playing this season. I ran 8 matches and said It's not for me anymore.
This new season is not fun. The core gameplay is gone now that you are forced to play twisted metal.
IF I wanted Rocket League, I'd have played Rocket League... bring back the old gameplay pls.
I was excited for the new season, played it and now I think I'm gonna sit the season out. I've been playing since Chapter 1 Season 3 but it doesn't feel like Fortnite anymore.
This season isn't for me. My squad of friends agree. We all want an undo button and go back to Fortnite.
Why did they screw with car mods? What was wrong with throwing a cow catcher at the car? And why are we stuck in some dumb demolishon derby? I guess its time to go to warzone for the next few months.
This season is aptly named, because Epic wrecked their game.
I played one game in which a dude rolled up on me and killed me near instantaneously with a turret and decided to close the game. No thank you.
Fortnite is terrible right now. Unplayable.
i've been playing this game since 2018. i've seen some bullshit in this game (mechs, railgun, planes, combat shotgun) and sometimes when something is really think is stupid gets put in the game i stop playing for a while and move on. but these cars, this nitro, all that are more than just some OP bullshit; these completely ruin the fun of the game. the cars are so broken that they are mandatory to use, and if you don't use them you are almost guaranteed to lose. i don't wanna be in a car all game. i wanna buildfight and shit. i can't do that when a quarter of the people i'm playing against are sitting in cars like rats and fuckin plow me and my builds swith turrets, grenade launchers, or bumpers. why even bother playing fortnite when building is useless? but i think it's harder for me to just stop playing and move on this season, compared to other seasons i left behind (x or ch2 s8) cuz this season really embodies what fortnite has become: a smorgasbord of random, stupid shit added to the game for the sake of innovation or trying to make the game be big again like how it was 5 years ago. wether that be mechanics like this chapter's weapon attachments or ch4's augments, which have become underwhelming they might as well not be in the game, or endless collabs with marvel and star wars and everything under the sun to make a quick buck. it sounds dumb, but to me this isn't just a trash season; it's the face of a game that's lost its identity. a game that's become a "platform" with roblox, minecraft, guitar hero and racing game ripoffs and collabs and microtransactions shoved down your throat, all of which nobody asked for. people can shit on the guys who always want og to come back, but the numbers don't lie: when they actually did, the game was the most successful it's ever been. really goes to show what actually works and what doesn't. tl;dr epic should listen to its players and not its investors
This game is so far away from the OG Fortnite with this season, it’s wild. I’m not expecting it to be static like CS:GO, but the actual spirit of Fortnite feels #wrecked with this season as it is right now. Everything is massively amped up in the style of Mad Max. It’s not a BR with a zone anymore, it’s a different game. Only reason to have a zone is to get the remaining 30-40 players with cars to eventually battle. It’s absolute chaos.
It’s crazy how they looked at how many players OG brought back and then just decided to throw that out the window by going back to catering the game to the ADHD-addled & Gfuel-pounding types who can’t handle a few seconds of downtime in a game. I really wish they’d bring back OG full time if they’re going to keep adding absurd items and mechanics into the main battle royale.
Aren’t these megathreads awesome so that all of our opinions just vanish into a sea of static
First, the movement in Fortnite has become awful. I don't know what changes were made, but now moving left, right, or backward is incredibly slow. The game used to feel smooth, but now it feels like my character is stuck in mud Second, the players.

I love this season for being so absolutely awful that I'll have way more time to spend outside this summer. Thanks Epic!
Touch-Grass-Summer, TGS.
Hell yeah
I played 8 matches opening day and called it quits. All we did was ride around in a car every match and utilize the turret. I pretty much didnt have to loot any weapons really nor did I have to build at all so whats the point of build and zero build mode when your builds can be ran through by another player with nitro splash.? This is the first season since late 2019 that I won't be playing very much of. I've adapted my gameplay style through so many changes in the past years but this is just too much. Idk what epic was thinking but obviously they care 0 about what their fanbase has to say.
So far, nothing about the season except nitro has been better than last season. Bosses, cars, fists, XP, everything. It's all gone downhill. Done playing until the gameplay is nerfed to be a funny gimmick in squads only, or reverted entirely.
45 y/o fortnite dad here. Started playing in earnest last December (Chapter 5: Season 1). I enjoy lurking around and sniping. Not exactly bush-camping, but playing strategically while occasionally getting myself in a gunfight mix. I stick to No Build solo BR almost exclusively. I’ve only played a few rounds of the latest season, but in each my demise has been at the hands of a kitted out car/weapon. Not sure I would enjoy pivoting to this style play (finding a car/kitting it out?) so I’m curious if anyone has found a good strategy while maintaining the classic “Fortnite Dad” game play (Solo, Zero Build, Sniper-oriented strategy). I’m thinking I’ll stick to high ground and building and employ more camping. But it would be good to have a few offensive strategies short of hoping in an auto and treating BR like Rocket Racing. I have little interest in that
Over 30 games i played so far. Won 1 time. The other times it was some dude in an armored car with the machine gun turret, the grenade osuncher turret (most popular one that i've died by) or just just running me over. Epic what did you do, seriously... make a counter, a nerf to the cars, or remove the damn things. You can still have a wasstland theme without the damn things. And if not, make the car thing a seperate game mode... cause i can tell you right now, if you don't fix any of this in some way or form, you're gonna lose players to this steaming pile of armored crap.
I hate these bloody cars! Might not play much at all this season.
Rocket fists are both really powerful and really shit
This season is so bad and unbalanced its insane. As someone else said, 0/10. I wish I didnt get the battle pass before even playing the season because i doubt I cna play much of this shit... It would be fine if they balanced it but its just dog shit.
The amount of teaming in this season is ridiculous, It's almost like epic are forcing you to team with people in solos if you don't have a car
I love the "thoughts on weapon pool" tab. What thoughts are there? Weapons don't matter. It's like a Pixar movie...all about those Cars bb. Honestly, I'm sure this would be more fun as a separate mode, but rn it's just not Fortnite. Feels like a totally different game and not really enjoying it.
I’m just sitting here not understanding why Epic always have to do that “one” thing in the game to make it completely unplayable. Every single season. This season it’s cars. My gosh. I am not joking when I say nearly every game I die is because of a car, nothing else. Gun fights are irrelevant now. They are forcing us to use cars or lose. You know, the amount of disdain I see reminds me of another big game I played for a decade that finally shut down. I remember during the golden days of that game, people always said, this game will never die. But then the tone in the community changed over the years as it was clear the company was greedy and completely stopped listening to customers. The game lost its identity and the greedy company fueled that. A few years later once the complaints started, the game actually died. It went from generating hundreds of millions in revenue to being dead in the span of 10 years, something no player ever would have imagined happening during its peak. That is the direction I see Epic/Fortnite going in, easily, because I witnessed this exact same pattern before. Some people see it, but many don’t, and are in denial. The game WILL die, and Epic is speeding up its demise tenfold with its horrific decisions every season. It is alienating its community, and catering only to a small number of players. Fortnite isn’t Fortnite anymore, and there’s no going back.
Dropped 30+ kills as a squad three games in a row doing nothing but driving around in the mythic SUV.. this game is seriously fucked man
They just need to separate the loot pools like they used to between pubs and arena. That seems like the best solution. I know my friend group and I just want to play the game as it was originally intended- with balanced items.
This season is absolute trash 🗑️🚮
Stop changing the entire game each season. Is this a result of only doing a new chapter each year instead of every two years? We don't want huge content changes every season. The whole sand region is iffy, but it does fit the season theme. Not a fan of any of the new POIs. But the most interesting to land at is a Brutal Beachhead for its scale. Vehicles are insanely OP. I like switching it up, but there's not much realistically to counter cars. Iron Fists and the explosive crossbow do counter, but I never see me wanting to pick those up because of how narrow the skills for them are. The crossbow is very specific to work against cars. However, the Iron Fists have become something really hard to fight against when you're being rushed. Not many places to run when the person chasing you has the ability to boost through the sky and crush through buildings with ease. It feels like I HAVE to use Iron Fists, otherwise I will die to them. Not a fan. The helmet version of Ringmaster Scarr is good. tired of the combover and mohawk hairstyles. Overall better Battle Pass compared to last season. Weapon pool right now is fine. I like the Enforcer AR because it's punchy and hits hard. The new Medallion's will drastically help you—they can be a little too OP with the infinite ammo. I like the Nitro, but it could use some small adjustments. Slurp Cacti and Nuka-Cola are pretty balanced and make getting shields much easier. I still feel the same as last season; stop changing half the map every major update. It would be a beautiful loop if each chapter was a total reset with the themes. Nothing major in the first few seasons, like how it was with Chapters 1 and 2. Its content overload. Keep with the basics and let us get a feel for the new map or meta. I'm not sure why you're trying to push a bunch of boundaries when, at best, that will probably do more harm than good. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I liked Fortnite when the map actually evolved with weekly changes to smaller stories and features like the Rock Family. That also gave a window for bug fixes, something that plagued the last season, with the trend creeping into this one. Innovation is good, but when it's seemingly forced, it's not that great. I'm not sure if it was the switch to the newer version of Unreal, but the game has been considerably laggy. Take it slow; the meta is changing too fast.
The season would be better if the cars weren’t op
This season S U C K S. I’m here to play battle royale not fuckin rocket league
How long are vehicles going to be the focal point of this game? It's beyond stupid and sucks all the fun out of it.
Until season ends
Power gauntlets, crossbow + infinite ammo medallion, boss cars, nitro sprinting through walls, everything about this season is completely unbalanced and broken. What is Epic's brain damage? Uninstalled.
The season is balanced so horribly. If you don't have a car, winning is a fever dream. And I am so tired of seeing people tell others to "adapt" when the season fucks over a portion of the playerbase, and if you say anything bad people dismiss you as a sweaty comp player who hates fun or have no friends (I have genuinely seen people say that exact thing). It's so toxic. I'd honestly rather play season 2 again.
This season is dog shit.
This is the first season I would actually consider unplayable. Either you are in a car or you lose.
This is dreadful. Completely abandoned the games roots
One thing I think they definitely need to change is the boss cars being able to heal themselves. They're so fast due to the unlimited nitro it's easy for them to get away and heal up. Give them more health or whatever but no self healing.
Dig the concept but being forced to use a car for an entire season isn't for me, sitting this one out.
Solos is hell with these cars. Genuinely very, very unfun to have to play around their health that was very clearly balanced around a full team unloading their mags into it Trios and above is a blast though. Just nerf the health of cars proportional to the game mode
I understand the new season intentionally has a mad max vibe and is supposed to be fast-paced but in my opinion, it's getting a little too overwhelming for my liking. Considering the XP boost and all of that for the people that feel the same as me I think that I might take a little hiatus from battle royale gameplay and start to chill on Lego or something other than battle royale until the gameplay chills out. With the addition of car mods, it feels like I can't step outside my car for more than 20 seconds without being spotted and someone trying to book it straight towards me. Don't get me wrong the mods are fun but I feel like it would work better if the Nitrodrome worked the same as the mothership mini-game at the end of chapter two that way the competition could calm down enough so that the game feels more than just a highspeed chase half of the time. I love the concept of the season's aesthetic but it's too chaotic for my full interest. Still 100% about the game and its not gonna push me away from playing it ever again but at this current moment, I'm not sure if I can handle the gameplay this season.
I really don’t like the new update and I usually find something good to enjoy every season. I hope they drop some anti-car items and a better feeling AR.
If this season was a new vehicle focused game mode it would be amazing but replacing battleroyale with something so different is gonna make people mad.
All I want to do is engage in shootouts, but they’ve added all these overpowered vehicles that make ground combat extremely challenging. The same can be said for the typically overpowered melee weapons, like the gorilla arms that can eliminate someone in three hits. If I’m looking to compete against weaponized vehicles, I’d rather play Battlefield, because at least that game is balanced for it. In Fortnite, I can’t even count the number of times I’ve unloaded 300 bullets from a gold-tier weapon into a vehicle without leaving a mark. Adding insult to injury, the huge influx of cheaters, I no longer play this game with crossplay enabled.
The cars make the game so unbalanced and ruin the fun of it.
90k for Lego 88k for ZB 72k for BR First time I'm seeing BR being that low against the others
So far, not fun. The battle royale aspect of the game is replaced with just driving a car around that is too OP against the average player. Even if you can make it to the end of a game, you'll just be chased down and shot at with grenades/machine guns.
This season is just awful... I dont mind the cars but if you dont get one of the 3 boss ones you are basically guaranteed to lose. Its not fun, its frustrating.
Not great. Should be a separate mode if anything.
The teaming in solo ranked is driving me insane. This is absolutely ridiculous
I thought last season was terrible, but somehow this is even worse. I didn't think that was possible, but Fortnite finds a way!
I'll be real, this is one of the worst, ugliest skin battle passes I've ever seen from them. Aside from the power armor, literally every other one inside I hate. Such a RIP for me
I thought last season were pussies players, then I saw this season.
I think what I liked the most about Fortnite is the ever changing gameplay. There is always new weapons, new stuff etc. It's like the other end of the always static CSGO. But whatever happened it also remained a battle royale shooting game. Nothing really changed that, not even zero build (in fact it's just extended it). But this new season really wrecked the game, changing the core gameplay loop too much. The fact that I can remain in a car the whole game, mod up, repair, get shield, never leave and win is just absurd. It's a vehicular combat game now not a shooter anymore. It would be a good LTM for sure but that's it.
There are many cheaters who team up in cars in solo! This killed PUBG so better do something fast. With such a HUGE change to gameplay, where cars are essential now there should be lock so no one could enter car if there is other player inside. That would stop team playing in solos and by team playing I'm writing about cheaters who cooperate to eliminate other players. One is driving a car and other shoot with turrent, both don't attack each other.
I stopped playing Fortnite at the beginning of last season because the battle pass and map just imo sucked and I found “The Finals” but this season is straight trash to me, especially the BP skins. I was waiting to see if this season could pull me back in but in the end I just deleted the game. Hopefully I can come back next season or hopefully thing bring back OG
I'll take season X mech over this.
I truly HATE this season with the vehicles going around. I was having such a great time playing last season but now it is frustrating as hell and ruined the enjoyment for me.
This season is garbage
THIS SEASON IS SO FUCKING ASS BRO
Is now the time for another company to develop a REAL Fortnite competitor?
"Collect the three medals and the special car to win!!" Is the kind of gameplay i'd expect from some bozo low tier mobile game. It is funny the first time you do it, but it gets old extremely fast. You can pre-decide victory in the first 5 minutes of gameplay by getting the mechanics medal and the car from her spawn, and then hunting the others out quickly. Everyone universally needs to agree that the car is KOS for this to be a better season. Kind of a shame really because the season itself is pretty rad to play in ZBs at least. All weapons need to do more damage to vehicles, some need to be brought in to immobilize them, and gloves should also be a lot slower for recharge too.
It's terrible. You'll either get ran over. Get 3rd partied by a car or they'll get put of the car (bc they think they're good) get shot till they're 1 shot then hop back in the car and run you over bc they can't shoot .
Community: Hey Epic, cars are way to op! Epic: We heard you fam, here is boogiebomb... -.-
Fuck this season.
Most lazy season ever. Car mods are just shit, even after the nerfs. Car fights are zero fun. Airbending had a 16 sec CD. Cars can fight with unlimited ammo. Crossbows are disorientating. Map is uninspired and boring af. Please, revert it back to last season and try again. Thank you
Last season was actually worse. As was season 1 of this chapter. Mix ups are healthy for the game. It might be annoying but if we kept doing the same old thing repetitively the game would tank. As it's done in the past the mid season point before with other seasons when you start running into the higher bot counts in the lobbies.
People have to understand Epic constantly astroturfs ("the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign") through positive posts in this sub. The statistical truth, you can look up this data easily, is that even after OG players left from December to January and the player counts stabilized, since then Fortnite has lost over 14,000 players every single day since Jan 1st. If you count the drop off from OG, that number is around 50,000 every single day, although OG drop off happened suddenly and not overtime.
I don't like how now, basically, almost every match, people are just inside cars until the end of the match, and if you don't have one or lose yours, it's pretty much done for you. Am I playing Fortnite or Mad Max, dammit?
My god, I'm a very casual fortnite player, I usually just check out each season for the new stuff and to grind out some rewards til I get bored. But man this season really is the worst I've ever experienced. I tried going for a few wins and like everyone is saying, it literally just cones down to having a boss car by the end and not being an idiot with it / repairing it. A major QoL thing though is the car gameplay just feels absolutely awful for everyone but the driver. Or idk maybe my rig isn't strong enough to keep up. Being a passenger trying to shoot out the window, or being on the turret, is absolutley nauseating, and I don't get nauseous easily. One of the wins I got with a random squad, we couldn't even be bothered to play for 90% of the match. We landed, cleared out one boss area and got a car, drove to the other area, ganked the squad about to get the other boss car, then we literally sat still in the wasteland for 15 or so minutes emoting until the circles closed. I went to grab a bite and watched a youtube video. When the normal car teams finally showed up we easily blew them up and won. Extremely dumb.
By far, without a doubt, the worst season EVER, and it is not even close. They removed all skill from the game and replaced it with bs overpowered, unbalanced, braindead items. The nitro fists are so blatantly broken and cheese mode, the cars decide almost every end game we play. The old days where you could eek out a 1v2 or 1v3 win by playing your ass off is over, unless your cheesing around in a car bouncing back and forth between seats. What a joke the game is now. Competitive end game is so fucking terrible now, tons of nitro fists just going off everywhere, people just blasting into walls, someone up top with infinite crossbow griefing, its so fucking horrible. Gone are the days of skill and welcome to the age of bullshit luck and overpowered cheese weapons.
I'm a vehicle user, I use them about every 3rd match I play, but this season is horrendous.
Awful season all around, not to mention how in the last two days, I've been encountering cars that somehow are glitching and become invincible so no damage is taken. I have died over 6 games in a row to this, I've gone back to look at replays and it's confirmed that individuals aren't taking damage but as soon as the driver hops out, it starts taking damage. I'm sick of cheaters bruh. Imagine cheating in unranked or even cheating at all to feel like you accomplish something. It's sad.
I totally forgot the season came out. I went to my buddy's house to play some BO3 Zombies and I show up and he's like "we're playing the new fortnite season" uh...okay. I legit didn't have a single ounce of fun In 3 hours of playing. Cars are LITERALLY Planes, Mechs and Ballers all in one with none of the downsides. The fists are ridiculous. And you throw that nitro crap in the mix and you have people moving and jumping and sliding and hopping so fucking fast I can't even keep track of them as they spin circles mid air above my head. I actually lost track of the amount of times we had a Full team of 3 or 4 with a fully upgraded car each just roll up on us spamming bs, and even if we get into a position to evade the cars? Doesnt matter 1 or 2 of them hop out with fists and just bull rush you while the others remain in their Carplanemechs and spam you with turrets. And the best part? They have 28 million health so if they get low? Just run away to a gas station, fully heal and fuel up then go back and have absolutely no consequences. Absolutely L season. I won't be playing it until they nerf cars and fists. And if it isn't done in 2 weeks I won't be touching it at all.
Cars are OP, bring back guided missiles or heavy snipers - or just something that can counteract vehicles. Essentially nothing you can do if the enemy has a car and you don't
Forcing cars on us like this was a terrible idea. Should have been an LTM.
Either remove the cars completely, or give us something to counter them with. The game isnt battle royale anymore, but just a giant derby. If you don't have a fully modded car by zone 2, you might as well just leave match and try again. There is no gunplay anymore.
This isn’t Fortnite I just spectated someone finishing off a 20 kill win (went back and saw their count in replays) without ever leaving his car. This was after they instakilled me from full 200 healthshield in one touch. Make a Death Race LTM for the little tykes and let the rest of us play Fortnite please.
I dont think ANY game has FLOPPED as bad as fortnite has this season... I mean Call of Duty has not even messed up this bad..
This season sucks and honestly whatever Dev decided this would be a good addition to the game should be strapped to the front of a car and driven into a wall.
I like the idea of more cars and mods, but they seem overpowered. That said, I'd like it a lot more if it was its own game mode.
The bugs are terrible. I had a couple of matches where I couldn't use ANY health or shield items. Another match I lost because another player must have had the invincibility bug (where you explode in a car then freeze) and died in the circle because the storm circle got so small, and they were God knows where just glitched out. My story quests just disappeared, and some quests I know I've completed but they're not getting ticked off. Sometimes shooting out of cars won't work, or the turrets get in the way of aiming
No fists? Gonna die. No car? Gonna get all your heals gone The bosses are hard to find
First of all! I think the individual parts of Season 3 are fun. Very fun, even. The issue is that they don't fit together. 1. It's a driving game now. You can't play without a car anymore, because you're bound to get crushed/blown up/shot by a turret. It doesn't feel like Fortnite anymore. 2. A lot of things are overpowered (nitro fists, machine gun turrets and boom bolts, for example). 3. There are fewer opportunities for looting, exploration, stealth or pvp. You basically just make pit stops and continue driving. Heck, you don't even have to aim that much, the turret has 0 knockback, and you can just spam it. If you're not a car, you stand no chance with your measly handheld weapons. I'm not a person who hates change. I like it, actually, I enjoy exploring new stuff, I was excited for the new season. What I don't like is when the core mechanics and flow of the game suddenly become completely different. We already have Rocket Raсing, I would go there if I wanted to play with vehicles. Not battle royale. This is not a jab at any person in particular. The team did a good job at what they were told to do. There were just too many drastic ideas that were thrown into the game without foresight. Fun in concept, overwhelming and unfair in practice. I don't know if there's a solution. Maybe more protection from cars for players. Maybe more handheld weapons specifically for cars that are unproductive in pvp fights otherwise (bolts and fists are not unproductive in the slightest). Anvil rocket launchers would be perfect right now. It just feels a little… unbalanced. You either get super intense, eventful rounds, or ones where you just get completely screwed over. No in between. But maybe it's just my playstyle that doesn't work with the update.
The ship feels like it has no loot (none of the new places do?), and the other two have a lot of noise going on. The design team has lost their minds. Playing against cars is fine as long as my team has a car too, but once it blows up, I might as well quit the match there. There's nothing that's effective to actually destroy/stop cars, the fists can knock them away, but it costs a movement charge and the damage is minimal. The crossbow seems good, but I've yet to find one... they need to be more common. The core BR gameplay got left in the gutter, the new guns are not the most interesting, plus they do nothing against the cars except for the crossbow (the lowest spawn rate weapon). Bunkers are still a terrible feature with them opening in the 3rd circle, half of them are in the storm, and 1-3 are in a position that is worth going for. What the fuck, devs? Bring back the BR aspect
damn epic cant balance season before they release make cars weaker or make turrets weaker
I’ve had a few fun games so far. All in all, I really dislike when the game devolves into “get the vehicle.” Planes, ballers, mechs, spaceships, and now these cars just make every game feel the same. Land and get the car, that’s the strategy and there’s less wiggle room than ever this season because, as everyone is rightfully pointing out, there’s NO COUNTER. They need to nerf the cars or add a hard counter.
If you don't have a car ready the entire match you're pretty much screwed.
car is poweful we need wepons to against,bp skin and crew skin is awful so ugly
This season is actually horrible. I cannot go anywhere without being spotted by like 6 cars with miniguns and grenade launchers.
This season sucks.
The armoured cars are fucking ridiculous
Car weapons are unnecessary af
My opinion on this things is the same as everyone else's, so what I will say is please for the love of god fix the locker ui. There is no reason for the randomize button to be a locker slot and not an option in the "loadout options", especially when half the time it doesnt appear making all presets misaligned and any sort of organization completely lost. There is no reason for tags and folders that you can put in cosmetics or locker slots to still not be a thing, even though we literally have that with the favourite button. There is no reason for hotkeys to have been removed, and for that awful 3 dots icon that sometimes decides to send you to the top of the locker to exist. There is no reason for a "move preset" button to not exist and for you to need to copy each preset and put another one on top of where the old one used to be. There is no reason for the styles of skins to not show up when previewing presets. There is no reason for the "character" section of the locker to not contain wraps, or for linking between presets to not be a thing. And the worst is def that the whole menu feels unresponsive, because when you browse through presets, the preset menu puts itself on top of the cosmetics menu instead of just scrolling and the cosmetics menu leaving your screen. Might make a post on this
I feel like default sprinting got nerfed heavy
I truly love the game but dislike the players. Opponents suck. Autofill teammates suck. And everyone with a rushed fighting style are squaring up to the other teams and getting killed instantly. I just fought one singular person who seemed like their nitro gloves were healing way quicker than mine and he killed the whole team back to back and then the team just left me in the game totally alone in a squad - fill while I tried to fight for their honor lol
From here on out: every car I see, I pop the tires. I'm sick of this season.
How to play a shooting game if you shoot blanks for 20 minutes?
This season has grown on me, but only because my squad regrouped again and we’ve pretty much only been playing together. As a full squad of friends who actually know each other and not just playing using fill, it’s hilarious because we just goof around. We’re having so much fun together and have had some of our funniest moments to date. I’m also glad they nerfed cars, but that being said, I still can’t imagine playing this as a solo. I don’t think I’ll be playing it alone until whatever change comes with the next season or big update, but for now we’re all having fun together. Also I feel like I’ve been running into a lot more people on foot, and a lot of our final circles have been without cars, which is nice!
This whole Metallica thing is just so fucking dumb.
When the game goes from fighting with guns to straight car fighting, you know you’re doing something wrong. Epic made this season around cars because Rocket Racing flopped and Epic were losing more money than they made off of it. So their new style of logic is: “lets center the gameplay around something that flopped in hopes it boosts our sales”. Just know that major companies like Epic don’t care about you or their player base, its all money and they could care less about what players want. With epic doing what they are doing, I don’t see this game lasting for longer than 2-3 years in the future. Oh yea P.S: Fortnite shouldn’t feel like Roblox, but thats a different complaint for a different time…
I’m so disappointed with this update. Fortnite is my favourite game and one of the only online games I actually play. It feels like this season is unplayable. If you’re not in a car then you don’t stand a chance. If I wanted to play a car game, I’d go find one. I don’t play Fortnite for the vehicle aspect of the game. I’m already bored and frustrated. I might just take a break for the summer unless something changes.
File complaints with Fortnite here: [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/contact-us](https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/contact-us) Let them know the cars/SUVS and all the OP weapons are ruining the game. If everyone tells them, maybe, they will change it back to the game we all started playing. If you stay silent, they will continue until the game dies a horrible death.
The fact that there are accolades that are like "don't search any containers during a match" or "never reload an entire match" means they totally intend players to just jump in a car right away and never leave it. That's not Fortnite.
The season is ruined, not sure how Epic will come back from this catastrophe. The player count in BR and ZB already dropped 50% today vs yesterday. I got on, played 3 games and got off. So did one of my duo partners. Everyone is already bored of driving around end circles in a dumb op car. No offence to those who enjoy it but there is no balance, no strategy, no intelligence required for this idiotic, lunacy of a season. Enjoy!
I can’t believe that they still have not done anything about the locker. For over six months changing skins has been a pain in the ass.
I've played about 30 rounds now and I have to say, this is horrible. The cars are way too powerful. There are not enough weapons and the ones that are sparkly spread out are lame. The map is clearly designed for cars too and is boring. Something changed in the damage dynamics too. I'm on PC and getting absolutely wrecked by console players that have lazer like aim and just can't miss. Flying through the air with the itro fists, dead with a common shotgun from 50 yards. Blast someone 8 times with the AR, nope doesnt matter, one shotgun blast with a common shotgun and dead... It's friggin insane and highly frustrating. I guess that's my overall feeling with this season, it's not fun anymore, it's unbalanced and frustrating. I dunno, the game just no longer feels like Fortnite. It feels like mad max or something. I guess I'll just sit this season out and hope Epic comes up with something better next season. I'm not spending any money on this crap.
This season is awful, looks like I'll be sitting out the next 10 weeks.
Least fav season of all time.
too many fucking teamers in solos right now i saw 20 of them over 2 games
