🤷‍♂️ Useless Features in Fortnite: A Critique

This paragraph discusses various features in the game Fortnite that are considered to be of little to no practical use by the community. The critique begins with the Midas bundle and its weapon wrap, which has a skin that turns everything gold. It then moves on to the game's updates, some of which are deemed useless, such as the ability to tame frogs, which is irrelevant since players are supposed to eliminate them. The paragraph also mentions community-adored but functionally limited features like thanking the bus driver and the high cost for a mere sound effect. It highlights the lack of practicality in certain items like the modded shotgun with a scope and the train on the map, which was anticipated to be exciting but turned out to be more of a disappointment. The paragraph concludes with other underwhelming features like emoticons, the cloak gauntlets, and the wasps added in chapter 4, which do not significantly contribute to gameplay.

😒 Disappointing Additions and Removed Features in Fortnite

The second paragraph continues the discussion on Fortnite's features, focusing on those that have failed to meet player expectations or have been removed. It starts with the recycler, a controversial item taken from another game that was not well-received in Fortnite due to its inventory slot consumption and the introduction of a less effective Mythic version. The paragraph then covers the Crafting feature, which was intended to revolutionize the game but ended up being a monotonous task of upgrading basic weapons. The Prop Hider, a tool for player disguise, is criticized for being too obvious and impractical in fast-paced matches. The much-hyped jump boots are described as a letdown, with players dubbing them 'glorified hop rocks.' The weather system, initially appreciated for its uniqueness, was removed entirely, disappointing players. The paragraph also touches on the tease of a lightsaber pickaxe that never materialized, the addition of useless helipads, and the exotic snowball launcher that dealt no damage. It concludes with the poison dart, a weak item that took too long to activate, and the car booting prank, which was more annoying than entertaining.

Keywords

💡Midas Bundle

The Midas Bundle is a reference to a cosmetic item set in Fortnite that turns everything into gold, which is a humorous nod to the mythological King Midas who turned everything he touched into gold. In the context of the video, it represents one of the features that the speaker finds to be useless or less impactful in the game.

💡Tame Frogs

Taming frogs in Fortnite refers to an update where players gained the ability to interact with frogs in the game world. The video suggests that this feature is useless because frogs are typically creatures to be eliminated for resources, making their taming an irrelevant addition to gameplay.

💡Thanking the Bus Driver

This feature was added to Fortnite following a player petition, allowing players to interact with the bus driver at the start of a match. Initially seen as a fun easter egg, the video criticizes an update that allowed players to tip the driver with in-game currency, which the speaker views as an unnecessary and absurd addition.

💡Modded Shotguns with Scopes

Modded shotguns with scopes refer to a game update where shotguns, traditionally used for close-quarters combat, were given the ability to have scopes. The video argues that this is a useless feature because it doesn't significantly improve the utility of the shotgun in the game.

💡Train

The train in Fortnite was a much-anticipated feature that, when added, was found to be underwhelming. The video mentions that the loot it carried was disappointing, and the best items were hard to access, making the train a letdown rather than the exciting addition players expected.

💡Zeus's Lightning Bolts

Zeus's Lightning Bolts were powerful items in Fortnite that could be combined with other mythic items to defeat players easily. However, they were eventually removed or nerfed, which the video uses to illustrate how initially promising features can be changed and become less useful over time.

💡Emoticons

Emoticons in Fortnite are small cosmetic items that express emotions but are rarely used by players. The video points out that these are often included as part of a bundle rather than sold separately, highlighting them as an example of a feature that doesn't enhance gameplay.

💡Victory Crown

The Victory Crown is an item that, when used, is supposed to provide an advantage but often ends up being more of a hindrance than a help. In the video, it's mentioned as an example of a feature that sounds great in theory but fails to deliver in practice.

💡Reboot Vans

Reboot Vans are a feature in Fortnite that allows players who have been eliminated to be revived at a van. The video questions their inclusion in solo modes, where they serve no practical purpose and only remind players of their lack of teammates.

💡Dragon's Breath Shotgun

The Dragon's Breath Shotgun is a weapon that combines a shotgun with fire bullets, which sounds powerful but is only effective at close range. The video uses it as an example of a feature that sounds impressive but doesn't live up to its potential in the game.

💡Crafting

Crafting in Fortnite was introduced as a major update that allowed players to upgrade weapons. However, the video criticizes it for being a time-consuming process that often resulted in only minor improvements, making it a feature that didn't add much value to the game.

💡Weather System

The weather system in Fortnite was a unique feature that introduced random events like tornadoes and thunderstorms. Despite being well-received, the video reveals that it was removed from the game, which the speaker considers a loss of a beloved feature.
