Fortnite's latest game-changing update v28.10 brings a much-anticipated balance to sniper rifles, addressing long-standing concerns in the player community.
In the latest update v28.10, Fortnite introduces a substantial rebalancing of sniper rifles, a move that has been highly anticipated by the game's community.
Fortnite Update v28.10: Snipers Have Been Nerfed
This update significantly adjusts the mechanics of sniper rifles, primarily focusing on their projectile speed and bullet drop. The modifications make long-range sniping more challenging, requiring greater skill and precision.
The reduction in the projectile speed and increased bullet drop also means that players must account for these factors more than before. Additionally, the update brings a decrease in the fire rate of sniper rifles, thereby reducing the potential for rapid firing or "spamming."
SNIPERS HAVE BEEN NERFEDThe projectile speed and bullet drop have been slowed down by A LOT. Even though movement is slightly slower now, it's seems like longer range snipes will be harder to hit, reducing RNG.Fire rate is also a lot slower, so less sniper "spam". W. pic.twitter.com/uqrGiWlyjG
