The Live Event itself and the trailer made it apparent that the collaborations were secondary to the story. Many thought that the Fortnite storyline was being overtaken by these collaborations, but after seeing this event it has become clear that they are just additions to the story.

Fans loved that Fortnite brought back The Seven and made them the focal point. In a big event that rivaled The End, playing next to Agent Jones and The Foundation was well received. This event felt like a return to Fortnite's roots.

Fortnite Season 6 vaults many more weapons than it unvaults just to keep things in line with the wilderness theme of the season

Fortnite Season 6 brings back the pump shotgun and vaults almost every other two-handed weapon. It looks like Epic Games is forcing players to only use hunting weapons in order to fully immerse themselves in this wilderness theme.

Although players are happy to see the pump shotgun return, it’s clear that they are very unhappy about losing weapons like the AR, snipers, and pistols.

At this point, it feels as though players are losing a lot of weapons in an effort to get into a theme. Fortnite should justify this in time, but for now, fans are not happy about this change.

Fortnite Season 6 adds Lara croft and the Teen Titans

Fans of Fortnite were also greeted by two big collaborations. Lara Croft, who was rumored to appear in Season 5, is now available for fans to use in her many iterations. This appeased both fans of the old Lara and new Lara because they can select which skin she has.

The DC collaboration on Teen Titans, in general, was considered a big success by the community. There was apprehension among many fans about the idea of continuing a story that is not Fortnite’s original one.

While incredibly fun, The Marvel Season was widely considered a collaboration that was about money and advertisements. However, Epic Games has created Fortnite Season 6 with this feedback in mind.

Many fans love the addition of the Teen Titans and Batman because it is only one part of the Zero Point storyline, not the whole storyline. Most players seem to agree that Epic Games has listened to their fanbase and is doing well to please both old and new players.
