Epic Games is finally making a move aimed at satisfying one of Fortnite players’ biggest gameplay complaints. Fortnite’s shotguns have been nerfed.
“For a while we felt that shotguns promoted healthy close-quarter gameplay; however, with the recent equip time changes, shotguns are being used more often than we like,” reads Epic’s post about the changes, which also come with the delay of Playground Limited Time Mode. “It’s something we’ve been keeping an eye on, but broadly speaking we feel shotguns are a little too strong in their current state.”
