What’s up gamers! Epic Games looks to be taking some steps to fix some of the problems in Fortnite. Here are some concrete changes coming your way to help your game: All weapons will have first-shot accuracy: You’ll see this with a red reticle. You will this in action when you’re standing still, aiming without hip-firing, and when the aim spread is at peak accuracy (when you haven’t fired your weapon for a while). The critical hits for headshots have been reduced. This means that the shotguns went from 250% damage to 150%.
Also, every other weapon’s critical headshot damage will go from 250% to 200%. Some weapons now have damage fall-off. The damage applies at 100% to a fixed range while fall-off starts at varied ranges and decreases to 70% damage. Luckily, sniper rifles, rocket/grenade launchers, and shotguns are unaffected. After this, we see some more balance adjustments. The Semi-Auto Sniper’s damage has been increased to 75/78 from 63/66. The scoped Assault Rifle’s damage has increased to 25/26 from 23/24 while the base damage for all SMGs has been increased to +2. Be sure to give this mode a try!
