Fortnite players are diving into the latest season and have already identified certain items that need to be reevaluated by the game developers before the situation gets out of hand. It has become a trend for players to take their time with new additions and to let their voices be heard and express their thoughts.
Overpowered gear is probably not good for business, especially in a high-profile game like this with countless players. There is a strong possibility of players abusing these broken weapons and making everyone else’s experience a nightmare until the developers step in and make the necessary adjustments.
The Gaming Community Has Already Discovered Which New Fortnite Weapon Should Be Nerfed
Epic Games is firing on all cylinders with the latest season in the hopes of winning back the gaming community after the lackluster performance of Chapter 5 Season 3. Leakers uncovered proof that older Fortnite mythic abilities are making a comeback for the latest season, and the developers will be introducing new ones to balance efforts and give players more options.
It would be wise for the developers to recycle an older formula rather than gamble on something risky. It did not stop them from introducing newer weapons and fans anticipate that most of them are already broken.
A few hours after Absolute Doom dropped, the gaming community had its first nomination for which weapon should be nerfed immediately.

Some would argue that the game peaked after the first collaboration with Marvel during Chapter 2 Season 4: Nexus War and fans have been begging the game developers for another one since then.
Given the impact and influence of recent Marvel projects across different mediums, it would be wise to listen to the gaming community for once and reap the benefits of this suggestion.
Usually, the developers will wait for a while before making changes and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the new double micro-submachine guns were the first of many nerfs for new Fortnite meta.
Epic Games wants to emphasize heavily that this season will be unlike any other and will go larger and bolder by integrating the Devourer of Worlds as Galactus slowly emerges from the map.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Is a Treasure Trove of New and Overpowered Weapons

The previous season was full of overpowered Fortnite weapons in spades. Players were unsatisfied with the insane firepower packed in with the vehicles and fans were explicit about their disdain and wanted nothing to do with them in the next season.
This is an opportunity for Epic Games to bounce back and learn from its mistakes. However, solving one problem often leads to another can of worms but this can be easily tweaked in a patch or two, unlike the cars that were never formally nerfed or addressed.
Players queued in the first few matches will likely experience how broken most of these new weapons are and it could make or break this season. Hopefully, this season will capture the same lightning of success from Chapter 2 Season 4 and avoid repeating the mistakes of Chapter 5 Season 3.
It was inevitable for players to discover broken weapons. The game developers should look out for complaints and get ahead before the situation gets out of hand.
