The Paradigm skin was exclusive to Season X, but the studio recently accidentally added it to the store, sparking the community’s outrage. Now, the Fortnite Minigun is available again, and many players are wondering if it came too late for this specific season.

This has frustrated players, as it could have been a very useful weapon against the cars that dominated the meta throughout the season.

Fortnite, one of the most popular games in recent years, with countless players and collaborations aiming to take gaming to a new level, has achieved things that were previously unimaginable for the industry.

But like any popular free-to-play game that offers a service, it has a community behind it that is always ready to make suggestions or to justifiably complain about mistakes the development team might make.

Following the controversy surrounding the Paradigm skin, which unexpectedly surfaced in the store despite being exclusive to Season X, players expressed their anger towards the studio for returning the Minigun later than required.

Epic Games’ recent introduction of the Minigun into various game modes has led to yet another complaint. The fans complained, stating that this weapon likely arrived too late to matter.

Players used platforms like Reddit to voice their complaints about the game, arguing that the addition of the Minigun came too late to have a significant impact.

This particular weapon is very powerful and can fire many bullets at once, which would have made a big difference against the cars that were the main issue of the season. Now, with just days left before the season ends, it no longer makes sense for the weapon to be available in the arsenal.

Chapter 5’s Season 3 has probably been the most controversial for the game in a long time. The game underwent a drastic transformation, introducing cars as the primary means of player elimination.

To this were added various temporary weapons, like Magneto’s Gloves, which also did too much damage, leading to a completely random balance of all the weapons, frustrating many regular players.

In just a few days, Fortnite will launch a new season, and for now, there are no indications of what it will include or whether it will make changes to the car mechanics. Many are hoping the game will return to a bit more normalcy without relying so much on these vehicles.
