‘Fortnite messed up’: Players react to divisive new battle royale game update

The new Fortnite update has landed – and it has divided opinion amongst players.

For Chapter 2 Season 2, the popular battle royale shooting game added a host of new maps, features and character skins, but early reports have suggested that there may be some issues left unresolved.

“Fortnite messed up,” said one commentator on Twitter.

Much of the anger was directed at Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, with one player complaining: “You couldn’t have made Fortnite challenges more convoluted even if you tried.”

Other complaints concerned a glitch which leaves players unable to edit while sprinting.

There have also been alterations to the game’s aim assist, which many have objected to.

But not everyone was disappointed by the new features, with many excited by the new additions, which includes a crossover with the Marvel superhero Deadpool.

Here are some of the reactions:

Chapter 2 Season 2 of Fortnite can be played on PS4, Xbox One, PC or Nintendo Switch now.
