Fortnite fans say Epic is 'throwing stuff at the wall' with baffling updates as Battle Royale concurrents dip—and there's some truth to it

In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, titled Shock 'n Awesome, a character wearing a blue Halo United Nations Space Command skin fires a black-and-orange assault rifle.

Epic Games upended Fortnite's Battle Royale meta this season when, without warning, they brought back two fan-favorite assault rifles and a powerful shotgun from previous seasons.

Fans were stumped: none of them fit the season's bug-infested theme. One of the rifles instantly became—in my opinion—the best weapon in the game, with the other close behind.
