so it makes you slippery? I thought it was going to freeze people in position, but that's pretty cool and will make for some funny times with some friends.

Juul I was looking into this when I heard about it for the first time and it's kinda cool but there's already too much in the game. It's kind of overwhelming. I really feel like they should have kept the game like how it was originally with limited time guns


Running the simplicity of things in the game is definitely a concern with fortnite. Maybe they should rotate around different traps so you can only use them in certain periods. That could mix the game up lol
