It stinks. I get what they’re trying to do.Unfortunately, Fortnite was already lacking action for me. Now, they added crafting, more farming, and talking to NPCs to get good guns. I feel like a CRAZY Fortnite game now is 10 kills.— Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) April 12, 2021Lazarbeam is incredibly influential and one of the few content creators to have their own skin as part of the Fortnite Icon Series.

Although Makeshift Weapons were added in-game to serve as a base for crafting, given the primal theme, many players feel that Makeshifts have ruined Fortnite Season 6.We want to get rid of the makeshifts while ur making cars in fortnite cmon my g # ripfortnite— Gorin_Fn (@Gorin_fn) April 13, 2021The only way I think #epic saves this competitive season is removing makeshifts and no bows in chests. Only primal or normal weapons. #Fortnite— Adam Moore (@thefarva78) April 4, 2021Fortnite is just plain and simple not fun rn with the primals and makeshifts and all the toxic community fr this time #freefortnite— Matrics (@MatricsGG) March 26, 2021Fortnite will die this season unless the com comes together to take out the primal and makeshifts— Forqed (@Forqed_) March 26, 2021makeshifts, primals....epic I see what your trying to do with fortnite but its not working but because no one is trying to fix it #ripfortnite— Oreo (@OREOMADON) March 26, 2021the fortnite shotgun meta desperately needs changing. makeshifts are wank.— SynnySynSyn (@SynysterCD) March 20, 2021100% Ive stopped playing as much fortnite mostly cause of makeshifts they suck :/ https://t.co/oKLcCovN2n— Spongebob anime (@Ahhlex3) April 12, 2021While the anger may seem uncalled for, it should be noted that Makeshift Weapons made up much of the floor loot in-game until the recent buffs and changes were made following the 16.20 update.Since the update, Primal and Mechanical weapons have spawned more frequently as floor loot. This makes it easier for players to avoid searching for chests to find non-Makeshift weapons.Another recently introduced buff allows players to find a stack of four crafting materials (bones & mechanical parts) as floor loot, which would make it easier for players to upgrade Primal or Mechanical weapons with ease.⬆️ We've also equalized Primal and Classic weapon drop rates to be more evenly spread out alongside Makeshift weapons.— Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) April 15, 2021Lazarbeam's point was not to defame the game but to draw attention to Makeshifts ruining early game engagements for many gamers.Players looking for a Blue Shotgun or AR early in the game will have a distinct advantage over players finding Makeshifts. This is because Makeshift Weapons need to be upgraded to be combat-capable.Lazarbeam's tweet has since left the community split on opinions about Makeshift Weapons.i quit cuz of primal shotting 5000000000 bullets ina milla second— Kripy💢 (commissions open soon) (@kripyVFX) April 12, 2021Did you not read what he typed? There is no action in fortnite anymore is too slow paced, which is boring...— J G (@JxGilly) April 12, 2021There is nothing wrong with it. It's not even hard to understand— I_play_games (@Iplayga98899653) April 12, 2021the makeshift shotgun has the worst amount of damagethe makeshift AR has the worst amount of bloomthe makeshift bow is just terrible to useif u think that’s fun go play Apex Legends instead— JAYZ_ (@JAYZisashorty) April 12, 2021What do you mean he is right makeshift weapons are horrible?— Maldrim :D (@maldrim_) April 12, 2021They just want good loot from the start😒 the point of makeshifts was so you could choose what YOU wanted instead of being forced to adapt to a gun because you could only find then in drops— lil Nas X is islamophobic (@ImaDekYou) April 12, 2021yepwhen i drop at spots with cars im almost guaranteed to get a purple spaz— DynaPower (@dyna_power) April 12, 2021They count have added a dirt bike or sum not these shitty ass makeshift— DaBaley (@bazzaurmom) April 12, 2021The only problem is when someone gets a primal shot gun. You fight someone with that when all you have is a makeshift and it’s just over. I would actually really like this lootpool of it wasn’t for that one gun. I think they should have based it on the double barrel instead.— OceanLNR (@OceanLnr) April 12, 2021True they are supposed to be the base version of a weapon— Sladey- FN news 👾 (@SladeFishy) April 12, 2021Idk i like them Seth for me I have been playing since chapter 1 season 4 I rlly do like the crafting the bows,primals and the makeshifts— Flix (@FlixRiceboys) April 12, 2021A really dumb reason— Baconburg (@Baconburger64) April 12, 2021While the Makeshift Weapon debate rages on, it's good to remember that these weapons support the theme of Fortnite Season 6.Despite the community loving or hating it, Makeshifts will undoubtedly be in-game for as long as the Primal theme runs its course.Disclaimer: These are the opinions of the writer.
