Fortnite fans have been quite vocal lately, urging Epic Games to introduce a cooldown feature for the Kneecapper’s charged attacks. Currently, it seems players can unleash these powerful attacks without any pause, which many find unfair. Season 2 of Chapter 6 has shifted the focus to heists, but not every player is thrilled with the recent updates to this beloved battle royale. A significant portion of the community feels the loot found in vaults falls short of expectations, calling for more substantial content additions to the game.
Among the returning armory in Chapter 6 Season 2 are some divisive weapons like Midas’ Drum Gun and Brutus’ Minigun. To get their hands on these items, players need to explore the backrooms in Black Markets. To gain entry, players must wield their Outlaw Keycard, which can be enhanced through various quests tied to it. These quests involve breaking into vaults, gathering medallions, spending gold, among other tasks. Each quest carries similar requirements, allowing players to complete them repeatedly until all challenges are met. After finishing the challenges, players will get unrestricted access to any Black Market backrooms in the game.
This issue was prominently highlighted in a recent Reddit post by Willie_Willikers, who expressed dissatisfaction with the Kneecapper and proposed adding a cooldown between strikes. Many players echoed this sentiment, sharing stories where opponents spammed charged attacks in close quarters to clinch victory. They argue that the current state of the weapon leaves little room for counterplay, making it feel overpowered.
A few players chimed in with their own ideas on how to balance the weapon. Some suggested that Epic Games should reduce the movement speed of players when wielding a charged attack. As things stand, players charging up with the Kneecapper can advance at full pelt, making it difficult for opponents to react. One player even recounted an experience where they got knocked into the air by the Kneecapper, only for the enemy to rush forward and land another hit before they could recover or defend themselves.
Rumors of new exotic weapons making their way to Fortnite have been swirling recently, with chatter indicating they might debut via the Black Market. Among these, the much-anticipated Rift Launcher, teased in the Chapter 6 Season 2 trailer, is catching players’ attention. This intriguing weapon might allow gamers to create rifts on demand, potentially boosting their mobility or forcing an adversary out of strategic positions. With fresh content looming on the horizon and a more diverse loot pool to explore, many within the Fortnite community feel hopeful about what’s in store for the game.
