Do you like being hit with a shotgun in Fortnite? Of course not; weapons inflict damage and tend to make you dead. Shotguns in particular have been inflicting a bit too much damage, so they’re getting taken down a peg in the latest patch; damage is dropping about 12% and headshot damage is down to 2.0x damage instead of 2.5x damage. So it’ll hurt less to be shot in the head, a phrase that… seems about as video game-related as any possible arrangement of words.
Of course, players who hated shotguns but loved flight will also be sad; the patch also announces the impending removal of jetpacks once more, with the flying backpacks returning to the vault as of June 11th. They were always meant as a limited-time item, and now that time limit is up. You will be stuck on the ground once more, but don’t stare into the sky tearfully. Someone with a shotgun will hit you.
