Fortnite: expect more items and weapons to be removed from play
In the most recent Fortnite Battle Royale developer update, Epic Games revealed a bunch of exciting updates it’s currently working on for the game, including a 60fps option for consoles, changes to daily challenges and a lot more.
In the update, Epic also announced that this week, the SMG will be removed from the game. It’s a bit of weird move to take away something players have learned to enjoy and master, but it’s all going according to plan.
In a Reddit post, the developer explained that the concept of “vaulting” doesn’t just apply to the SMG. Any weapon could potentially be removed and later re-added as Epic sees fit. Fortnite players will have to get used to seeing weapons come and go based on the changing meta.
This also applies to other items like consumables, or really anything players can use in a match. As more items get added, many will inevitably get vaulted and later un-valuted.
In other Fortnite Battle Royale news, the game recently hit 3.4 million concurrent players, which created server problems for Epic the moment it happened and caused stability issues.

Not really played Fortnite battle royale since it first came out but i like that they seem to be making and putting a lot of effort into it and being very steady and fluid with it all too. seems something they are actually enjoying working on themselves instead of other games where you can tell are just sent updates for the sake of updates.

Don't have a problem with it at all, rarely will pick up an SMG unless it's the only gun I see.

Removing the white SMg is good as there are lots of variations of the SMG. I'd also say remove white pistols due to their being revolvers and silenced pistols.

Specialize I hope they get the 60fps for consoles, the game feels smooth enough. But we need more XD
Im not great with my eyes but I feel like xbox one x already has 60fps because it runs smoother than any other game I play.

I think this will add a lot of variety to the game and force players to adapt to more weapons and not just what they are comfortable with. I support this.

I mean I really dont see a problem with this, I can see them removing guns and fixing them due to exploits or just some tuning. Im just hoping to see an Epic or Legendary version of the pump shotgun to be added.
