Fortnite players have recently voiced their desire for a cooldown to be added to the Kneecapper’s charged attacks. Right now, the weapon can unleash a relentless series of strikes without pause. Despite the excitement surrounding Chapter 6, Season 2, some fans have mixed feelings. While the theme of heists is intriguing, there’s a consensus that vault loot isn’t quite delivering the thrills, and many are hoping for fresh content down the line.
This season has also seen the return of some controversial weapons like Midas’ Drum Gun and Brutus’ Minigun. To get their hands on these powerful items, players must navigate the secret backrooms of Black Markets using Outlaw Keycards. These keycards can be leveled up by completing associated quests, which include breaking into vaults, gathering medallions, and splurging gold. Although these quests have several stages, their requirements are similar, allowing players to repeat them until all tasks are done, opening up every Black Market backroom in the game.
Recently, a discussion on Reddit led by Willie_Willikers has brought attention to the Kneecapper’s charged attack frequency. With many players agreeing, the feedback highlighted how this can lead to unfair advantages, especially in tight spaces, making it difficult for opponents to mount a defense. There’s a growing call for a balanced update from Epic Games.
Some fans have pitched ideas on refining the weapon. They believe that by reducing the movement speed while executing a charged strike, gameplay might feel more balanced. Stories abound, like one player recounting being launched into the air by a Kneecapper only to be hit a second time by the same opponent before landing, illustrate these frustrations vividly.
There’s a buzz around potential new exotic weapons making their way to Fortnite, likely via the game’s Black Market. Among these rumored additions is the Rift Launcher, showcased in a Season 2 trailer. This intriguing weapon would enable players to generate rifts on-demand, improving mobility or strategically targeting enemies. With such promising content on the horizon and a growing arsenal to explore, there’s a sense of optimism and excitement about what lies ahead in the world of Fortnite.
