Fortnite's Chapter 4 Season 3 has already seen the vaulting of the Red-Eye Assault Rifle, signaling the game's commitment to keeping its weapon pool fresh and exciting. Despite being fully launched, Fortnite continues to receive constant updates and content additions, ensuring that players will always have new challenges to face. With the introduction of several new weapons, including the Wildwasps and Cybertron Cannon, this jungle-themed season offers a diverse range of options to suit any playstyle. However, Epic Games wasn't content to rest on its laurels, and decided to make some early modifications to the game just a few days into Season 3.
With the Red-Eye Assault Rifle being vaulted from Fortnite, players will have to make do without it in their inventory slots. However, there is good news, as a new weapon, the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, has been added in its place. This new addition is quite similar to the now-vaulted MK-Seven Assault Rifle. While this change in the weapon pool may not have a big impact on the metagame, fans are more concerned about the lack of mobility items in Fortnite's competitive scene. Following the vaulting of popular navigation items such as the Kinetic Blade, ODM Gear, and Spider-Verse Web-Shooters, players have been struggling to traverse the vast Chapter 4 map, relying solely on cars and bikes to move around.
The latest season of Fortnite, WILDS, introduces a fresh concept that diverges from its predecessor, MEGA. Epic Games has been implementing minor adjustments to enhance the game's overall performance and bring about balance. Although some fans had conflicting opinions regarding the changes made, many were content with the decrease in mobility items this season. Players can access Fortnite on various platforms, including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
