Fortnite: Guided Missiles Are Returning

3
Fortnite fans, rejoice! The Guided Missiles have returned from the Vault and are ready to wreck havok once more in the world of Battle Royale!

According to a recent developer update video, the team over at Epic Games has revealed that the player demand became too high to ignore when it comes to the famed Guided Missles and because of that, the team has decided to bring them back with a few changes.


According to Andrew from Epic Games, the team definitely saw merit in the concerns that fans were sharing about it being far too overpowered for how the game operates. Because of that, they've reduced the movement skill while also reducing the turn radius. Additionally, they brought down the damage a bit with a 12 ammo cap and smoother movement controls for those playing on PC. This makes it more of a scouting tool versus just a powerhouse of pain, making it more strategic than just a random item drop.

They also talked about the SMG changes a bit, which was addressed earlier this week. "We've heard your feedback regarding SMGs and that they’re stronger than we would like at the moment," said Epic Games in a recent post on Fortnite's subreddit. "We agree and have just pushed a hotfix live adjusting these values - bringing them more in line with where we want them."

  • SMG and Compact SMG accuracy bonus reduced from 35% to 15%.
  • SMG damage reduced from 19/20/21 to 17/18/19.
  • Compact SMG damage reduced from 23/24 to 21/22.
  • SMG fire rate reduced from 13 to 12.
  • Compact SMG fire rate reduced from 11 to 10.
  • SMG, Compact SMG, and Silenced SMG damage falloff.
    • Range reduced from 2400/3500/5000 to 2000/3000/4000.
    • Percentage reduced from 100/80/65% to 100/70/40%.
  • Rare SMG and Compact SMGs drop rates slightly reduced.


This fix comes hot on the heels of the Playground Limited Time Mode's triumphant return as well as the team reintroducing remote explosives.

With the proper changes, they can be useful without being overpowered.

25_To_Life I don't like them, not because their OP, but because they give you an overview advantage of the whole map.


They do, but you're also very very loud when launching and that can give you up.
