Fortnite players have demanded yet another nerf to the Reaper sniper, complaining about itsability to ruin players’ Battle Royale matches.
Epic Gameshas added many different variations of the sniper weapon archetype since Fortnite’s release. The weapon has always excelled at poking and taking out enemy players from long-range and behind cover like bushes; this is because of its insane high-damage single-shot potential.
However, as a result of this, the weapon has constantly been a hotly debated topic among players, who often demand nerfs.
Fortnite players still upset with Snipers ruining matches
One Fortnite player complained onsocial mediaabout the state of Snipers:
“[It is a] love-hate relationship with the Reaper,” they admitted and shared a meme that joked about how they always get unexpectedly killed by snipers when they’re certain of securing a Victory Royale.
Players immediately commented on the post, whole-heartedly agreeing that the Reaper sniper needs more adjustments.
“Snipers in this season are f**king busted. You could lose 75% of your health to a guy you can’t even see (and depending on their mods, can’t hear either),” one fan responded.
Other people agreed that Epic Games hadn’t done enough with the 28.10 nerf. “Instead of nerfing the stupid bullet drop which did nothing, they should’ve nerfed the mag capacity & make green sniper rifles do under 200 damage to the head,” another player added.
However, some players were keen to point out that Snipers were only busted on Zero Build: “Snipers are just too broken on zero builds (and on builds but not as much).”
Still, despite people believing that the Battle Royale gameplay needs tweaking, overall players are very much enjoying theFortnite x TMNTevent.
