Fortnite Community Calls for Significant Alteration to the Kneecapper

Fortnite players have been voicing their concerns recently, particularly about a weapon known as the Kneecapper. They believe it needs a cooldown period for its charged attacks, which currently can be unleashed one after the other without any breaks. As we enter Chapter 6 Season 2, the game’s theme revolves around heists, and while this sounds thrilling, some players aren’t too impressed with the new changes and feel that the loot from vaults is lacking. They’re hoping for richer content soon to spice things up.

With the latest season, some infamous weapons have made a comeback, like Midas’ Drum Gun and Brutus’ Minigun. To get their hands on these powerful items, players need to access a special area in Black Markets, using Outlaw Keycards. These keycards aren’t just a free pass, though; players have to complete certain quests to upgrade them. This involves breaking into vaults, collecting medallions, and spending gold, among other challenges. Completing these quests opens up all the Black Market backroom opportunities in the game, so it’s worth the effort.

Over on Reddit, a user named Willie_Willikers shared some frustration with the Kneecapper, particularly about how it can be exploited in tight spaces for an easy win. The community seems to agree, noting the lack of effective counters, making it overpowered in certain situations.

To tackle this, some are suggesting tweaks like reducing the movement speed for anyone using the Kneecapper’s charged attack. As it stands, players can zip around pretty fast while preparing these attacks, giving them an edge. There was even a tale of a player being sent flying by a Kneecapper strike, only to be hit again before they had a chance to recover.

Exciting leaks are hinting at new exotic weapons potentially coming to the game’s Black Market soon, including the highly anticipated Rift Launcher. This intriguing weapon could allow players to create rifts whenever they want, providing strategic mobility or an offensive edge. With such enticing additions on the horizon, it looks like Fortnite’s future has plenty of thrills in store for its players.
