Fortnite players slam Epic Games for “awful” weapon designs in Chapter 5
Epic GamesFortnite players have had enough with the weapon designs in Chapter 5 after they keep mistakening them for each other, particularly with the Enforcer AR and Reaper Sniper Rifle.
Fortnite’s Chapter 5 has been well underway, and following a newly added update that introduced the Enforcer AR, players have been left furious.
During fast-paced Battle Royale matches, players can find themselves barely having time to think as they aim to quickly loot, evade the storm and eliminate any enemies that come across their way.
That is where the addition of the Enforcer AR has proved tricky for various players, who have been finding themselves clueless and mistakenly picking up the AR instead of the Sniper and vice versa. This has led to players slamming Epic Games for the overall “awful” weapon designs in Chapter 5, demanding change.
Fortnite players demand Enforcer AR weapon design be changed
Fortnite player just_frosty asked: “If you had the enforcer AR and the Sniper (without scope) in your inventory, would you know which is which?”.
This was shown paired with an image of the two rifles side by side, which displays their remarkable likeness. During the Battle Royale match, you can find both the Enforcer AR and Reaper Sniper Rifle with our without scopes, which has enraged players, who often have been clueless about which is which.
Legions of players echoed the same issues: “The amount of times I picked up the Enforcer thinking it was a Sniper,” as the OP responded by admitting they “sniped someone for 36 before only to realize 10 minutes ago I dropped my Sniper for one.”
Players continued to slam Epic and called for them to “get rid of it,” while others disagreed and instead demanded they “definitely change the model” of the newly added Enforcer AR.
However, it wasn’t just these weapons that players had issues with, “The art design for this chapter is extremely awful. You should be able to tell what gun is what at a quick glance. The amount of people confusing the SMG vs shotgun and the AR vs the sniper is too damn high.”
Epic Games has not addressed the issues that players have faced in Chapter 5 involving the likeness seen across the various weapon designs. It is therefore unknown whether these will be changed in a further update, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.
