The most controversial Fortnite updates of all time

1-11

Nazarii Verbitskiy Nazarii Verbitskiy
Fortnite - October 20th 2024, 17:00 GMT+2
Patch Notes Removal

11. Patch Notes Removal

OG players may still remember the super-detailed patch notes Epic published during Chapter 1. The sudden shift to less detailed patch notes in Chapter 2 left many players feeling embarrassed. Now, when some shotgun gets a ridiculous buff, you are forced to test it in-game to find out. | © Epic Games

The Infinity Blade

10. The Infinity Blade

The Infinity Blade is one of a few items in the game that could be even more broken than Mechs. This sword gave a whole army of perks for players who wield it, including movement speed boost and rapid health regeneration. | © Epic Games

Syphon Removal

9. Siphon Removal

This update during Season 8 sparked massive controversy within the Fortnite community. The removal of Siphon, which granted players health and shields for eliminations, didn’t just slow the pace of the game - it also eliminated a key feature that allowed top-tier players to dominate. | © Epic Games

Boom Boxes

8. Boom Boxes

Boom Boxes were the ultimate nightmare in Season 7, and they quickly became one of the most disliked items in Fortnite. These throwable items could obliterate structures with continuous sound waves, taking away one of Fortnite’s core strategies. | © Epic Games

Wrecked Season

7. Wrecked Season

Wrecked Season threw skill out of the window and made Fortnite a Full Throttle battle royale with a lot of luck involved. Cars were overpowered, the guns felt underwhelming, and without a boss car, winning this season was almost impossibly difficult. | © Epic Games

Chapter 5 Movement Update

6. Chapter 5 Movement Update

Chapter 5 Movement Update has completely changed the way players navigate the Fortnite battlefield, introducing faster sprinting, sliding, and mantling mechanics. Even to this day, players continue to be concerned that the update disrupted the game’s core mechanics and devalued the importance of the building. | © Epic Games

Planes

5. Planes

Planes were extremely OP, especially at the launch, but many players still enjoyed the fast-paced aerial combat and easy eliminations from the sky with little counterplay. Despite multiple mid-season nerfs to balance them, planes continued to be a point of contention. | © Epic Games

New Locker Update

4. New Locker Update

One day Epic Games woke up and decided to fundamentally change one of the most important Fortnite features - skin rarities. Now, finding your favorite skin has become significantly more difficult unless you remember its exact name, and the new color scheme feels like a downgrade compared to the vibrant ones players loved before. | © Epic Games

Primal Season

3. Primal Season

Primal Season is associated with nothing good but clunky guns, slow movement, and getting too far from Fortnite's core. The primal weapons, in particular, were heavily criticized for being imprecise and lacking the fluidity of previous arsenals. | © Epic Games

Turbo Building Nerf

2. Turbo Building Nerf

Epic Games tried to increase the delay between placing structures from 0.05 seconds to 0.15 seconds, effectively weakening one of the most vital skills in the game: building. This was hated by everyone, from casual to pro players. | © Epic Games

The B R U T E Mechs

1. The B.R.U.T.E. Mechs

B.R.U.T.E. Mechs is easily the most hated update in Fortnite history in all respects, from their unreasoning power to simplicity of use and availability. These mechs were so overpowered that they sparked the "#RemoveTheMech" movement that went viral on social media. | © Epic Games
