It’s important to support a variety of late game strategies, that don’t boil down to “just build lol”. We strongly believe that the evolution of Fortnite supports a wide range of play styles and counterplay. Currently, the superiority of shotguns, rockets, and uncapped building are such a dominant play style in the final circle that most other strategies are being drowned out.
RECENT & UPCOMING CHANGES
We have made a few changes recently — and will continue to make more — to give you options to counter other players in combat, especially in the late game.
We are exploring changes to weapon balance and resource economy, like e.g. resource caps.
MOVING FORWARD
So, where does this leave us?
You should be able to find Victory Royales through multiple strategies. Shotguns should be strong, but other weapons have room to grow. Not every encounter should have to end in a build-off. We want to empower you to showcase your skill, strategy, and tactics in all variety of ways.
We’ll be exploring these changes over the next few weeks – we’re excited to hear your thoughts and encourage you to participate in discussions on our various social channels.
BUILDING IS WHAT MADE FORTNITE YOU CANT NERF IT!! CANT BELEIVE YOUR MAKING THE GAME MORE LIKE PUB G WHICH IS A TERRIBLE GAME!
Nerfing building is honestly a better option because I feel someone should be punished for sitting in the open leaving their guard down
just imagine having max 500 materials and a noob spamming you rockets… its not a good idea
Shuuuushhh. This is great. This opens up alot of ways to win without strictly building. Back during the good days, season one and early season two, building was rare, and when it was there, it wasnt insane like nowadays, thats when it was fun to play fortnite, now its just stressful.
Don’t do that some people actually like to build
You reach the top and then destroy yourself. Don’t change what made the game so distinctive just because your running out of things to nerf.
Maybe make a special game mode for people who arent so good at building. Shouldnt nerf building for the people who spent so much time working at getting better at it. Just make a “Competition” Lobby like black ops?
If building gets nerfed epic will lose me and a lot of others
Literally i hope building gets nerfed cause people like barely use there guns all they do is justice build to kill someone it’s stupid
I´ m already getting sick of how long it takes to get a decent amount of materials. If there will be more nerfes to building, i quit.
This is why I’m done playing this stupid game there making it for bad people to get easier wins… I suck at shotgun fight but I have building to back it up and now they are taking it away….. first need the shotgun and now the building this game is pathetic now… season 1 was easily the best the game was actually fun
Building is the only reason why I play fortnite and not pubg if they nerf it they mite lose me.
why would you nerf a thing that is suppose to be part of the game ive been getting better at buildiing then i just keep losing mats and i cant win build fights now
Just limit the amount of materials, harvesting is so boring and waste of time, we need to harvest faster, I don’t care about the amount!
Building is what made this game famous for and why its here where it is. If there will be building nerfs the game will soon come the its end
