Fortnite’s user interface UI has long been a point of contention among players. Many criticized it for being cluttered and confusing, especially after the30.30 updatechanged theLocker UIand mantle UI.
Some felt the redesigned layout makes finding content and managing loadouts more challenging. Players have also complained that this UI seems to favor Fortnite Creative modes over the traditional battle royale experience.

The leaker claims the updated weapon wheel should arrive between October and December. It will come with other anticipated features, such as a custom UI system, an improved HUD controller, and new “Visualize Sound Effects” options.
While the leak mentions three changes, players are most excited about the new custom weapon wheel UI system, with one saying, “Absolute massive W! Especially the UI System!”
Others likened the redesign to GTA’s weapon wheel, with comments such as, “Fortnite trying to add a GTA-style gun wheel” and calling it “GTA 7.” GTA 5 prominently features this type of weapon wheel, but many shooter games today boast a similar interface.
