Indeed, the metaverse can be used to rope in all these characters and celebrities, but they stop making sense at some point. Many community members feel that Epic Games is selling out due to a lack of original content and endless collaborations.
However, something that has irked the community even more than mindless associations has been the vaulting of sniper rifles.

Hello Epic, the community wants snipers back
One of the worst things for any developers to do is take away that one thing that players love. That is precisely what Epic did in Fortnite Season 6.
Publishers need to understand that irrespective of how good the storyline is, removing items and weapons that the community relies on for wins is the wrong move.
Replacing snipers with bows to suit the primal theme makes no sense when players can still drive around the map in cars. If gamers can still choose between mechanical and primal weapons, why take away snipers and allow only bows?
The move makes a lot of sense while on a storyboard, but in reality, players are downright mad and are demanding snipers be unvaulted.
Crafting feels incomplete in Fortnite
Why introduce a crafting system into a survival game if players barely get 30 mins in-game to actually craft? Currently, the only use for the crafting system is a Plan B and during emergencies only.
It's easier for players to loot chests for weapons than to craft a high-tier firearm.
Recently, Reddit users pointed out that Epic could have done so much more with the crating system than what it currently is. Why introduce a crafting system if players can't cook meat for extra health or even craft traps?
It almost feels as if the crafting system was a last-minute add-on rather than a well-thought-out plan. The publisher should add new crafting recipes as the season progresses, but as stated before, the entire crafting system feels like an afterthought.
Conclusion
Fortnite, no doubt, has come a long way, and despite the naysayers, it is currently one of the most prominent BR games out there. However, despite adding so many skins, emotes, and collaborations, for some reason, it feels emptier than ever before.
Going back to its inception, Fortnite was indeed a Battle Royale in essence, and players loved it. It was simple, and all gamers had to do was pick up guns, fight, and build and try to survive.
However, the game now tries to be a BR, but with so many elements layered on top. Slowly but surely, the cracks are showing.
Of course, Fortnite is not dying, players still love the game, and the community is more active now than ever. But for some reason, it has begun to feel soulless and empty.
Every match is competitive and sweaty, newcomers are overwhelmed by the dearth of backstory, and in all honesty, the hype for Fortnite Season 6 has already come and gone.
