A rather large Fortnite collaboration with Borderlands 3 was completely overshadowed by the fact turbo building was nerfed.

This patch took the time between build placements and increased it from 0.05 to 0.15, which doesn’t seem like much but it can make all the difference in a build fight and this was met with a lot of criticism.

Players are more than fed up with the direction of Season 10 as #Removethemech trended in earlier August and Epic did eventually nerf the BRUTE as a result of that.

However, they made yet another controversial change which caused fans once again to voice their displeasure on Twitter since they could no longer “crank 90s.”

Unsurprisingly, many of the big names in Fortnite expressed their displeasure with this update and spoke up about it before the hashtag even began trending.

Both Ninja and Myth both tweeted about the nerf, with Myth going an extra step and sending out a video that demonstrates how major the changes are.

Epic Games did listen to the community when they wanted the mech nerfed the first time so the players are likely hoping for something similar to happen here.
