Fornite Battle Royal 50 vs 50

Fortnite has had some huge changes with its latest update including the new limited time game mode of 50 vs 50. With this past update they have reworked a lot of items as they are transitioning their game theme from the Halloween special to a Christmas time one. Most notably of the updates is the changes to auto and burst rifles. Personally being a fan of auto rifles since I’ve picked up the game, I’ve come to now hate the auto rifle from the most current nerf. The rate of fire and recoil has always been an issue but it was easy to overcome when you have gotten used to it. However, it now has a ridiculously low accuracy when fast firing at distances. You now have to essentially use it a semi auto weapon in hopes you hit your target. On the other hand, the burst rifle has gotten a huge buff and I’m falling in love with it. Its recoil is consistent and its very likely to hit long distance shots. It also is now a very effective way to down and enemy.

Now the 50 vs 50 game mode is very interesting as it is for a limited time. I would hope they will choose to keep it though. However, there is a lot of issues with the mode. The way that it works is that it will put you in squads of four that you can see at all time if they go down or get hurt. The rest of the team is split into other squads but you cannot see them on the map until you get close and it will show them as a green blimp on the map. There is also no indication of their health and the only way to see downed people is to look on your mini map for green plus signs indicating they need to be revived. The main issues I have found with the game is there is considerable lag when you have ten plus teammates around you and causes issues with the frame rate. Also like with any game of this caliber, teammates are jerks and will never revive you if you get downed. The game mode also has matchmaking issues where one team will have more than others at the start of the round making it unfair for the other team. Other than that the mode is excellent and is chilling experience when you see 25+ of the team going over the hills like ants.
