Fortnite Community Calls for Significant Update to the Kneecapper

Fortnite players have recently voiced their desire for Epic Games to implement a cooldown period for the Kneecapper’s charged attacks. This request stems from the weapon’s ability to unleash consecutive attacks without interruption. The latest installment, Chapter 6 Season 2, focuses heavily on heists, but not everyone is thrilled with the new dynamics. Some fans feel that the content within the vaults is lacking and hope that more excitement will be added soon.

In this new chapter, controversial weapons like Midas’ Drum Gun and Brutus’ Minigun have made a comeback. However, to get these weapons, players need to venture into the backroom of a Black Market. Accessing this hidden area requires an Outlaw Keycard, which can be upgraded by completing related quests. These quests involve tasks such as cracking open vaults, gathering medallions, and spending gold. Each quest has multiple stages, all of which share the same basic requirements, allowing players to repeat the cycles until all objectives are finished. Completing these challenges grants players full access to any Black Market backroom available.

A discussion ignited on Reddit when user Willie_Willikers expressed displeasure over the Kneecapper’s power and called for a cooldown feature. Many agreed, sharing stories of opponents exploiting continuous charged attacks in tight spaces to secure victories, with little chance of countering the tactic effectively.

Ideas to improve the weapon emerged, with some players suggesting that Epic Games should reduce the movement speed when charging a strike. Presently, players can maintain their regular speed while preparing an attack, and some even reported being struck multiple times before they could react.

Leaked information has stirred excitement by hinting at the arrival of more exotic weapons, potentially through the Black Market. Among these, the Rift Launcher garners anticipation for its ability to create rifts at will. This feature could serve as a tactical advantage, either enhancing mobility or displacing opponents. With exciting new content likely on the horizon and an expanding loot pool to explore, many players are optimistic about Fortnite’s future.
