Epic finally returned to B.R.U.T.E. of Fortnite mech costume with dramatic nerves

Epic Games heard the comments, loud and clear, and this afternoon the Fortnite developer has announced a series of radical changes to his new B.R.U.T.E. Mech costume that has had the game community in open revolt in recent weeks. Most of the changes came into effect immediately, with Epic claiming that players would not need to update the game at all.

In an article titled "B.R.U.T.E. "Balance adjustments," Epic details the important nerves ahead with the product, including a reduction in the number of rockets that can be fired, the firing rate of these rockets, and many other powerful benefits offered by the combination. to the players.

The mech combination arrived for the first time in early August with the launch of FortniteThe tenth season. Unfortunately, this only caused turmoil in the wider community and in the high-profile competition scene, which attracted worldwide attention as a result of Fortnite World Cup in New York at the end of July. With a new series of tournaments, the Fortnite Champion Series, which is currently running until the end of September, Epic seems to be looking forward to solving the problems related to B.R.U.T.E. just as the collective indignation of the players seemed to reach its apex.

• Decrease in the maximum number of rockets fired by the B.R.U.T.E. in a single charge of 10 to 6.
• Decrease in the speed at which rockets are launched from B.R.U.T.E. 56%.
• A 42% decrease in the explosion radius of the B.R.U.T.E.
• Increased the cooldown of the dash by 3 to 5 seconds.
• Decrease of 33% of the speed obtained thanks to the boosting in the air.
• B.R.U.T.E.E. It grants more material to the driver and the passenger when it is trampling or passing through the environment. (That will not happen right away, says Epic, but after these other changes are in effect.)
• Reduced the hardware cost of using the shooter's over-shield from 200 to 75.
• B.R.U.T.E increased health from 1000 to 1250.

Epic gives a small line or two of reasoning for almost all these changes, and each makes a lot of sense. The developer actually recognizes that he has actually launched a revolutionary and mastered element as soon as the launch of a new competitive circuit of e-sports tournaments. With these changes, including improving the health of the suit, the object should be slower to operate, less productive as an agricultural vehicle and less deadly against enemy players.

In addition to all this, Epic reduces the recurrence rate of B.R.U.T.E. in all storm circles in normal game modes, while maintaining the same rate in competitive modes, a modification made earlier this month to prevent the pursuit mech and the controversy surrounding it n & # 39, completely engulf Fortnite First event of the Champion series last weekend. Epic also disables his new Junk Rift item from the Arena playlist and the Champion Series event this weekend until he can fix an audio problem that needs to be resolved in an upcoming update.

Changes to the B.R.U.T.E. are largely in line with what the community was hoping for (although some still claim its withdrawal), and Epic seems to have listened in this regard while maintaining its position that the mech lawsuit should remain in the game. (The company thinks the combination offers a fun and original way of playing Fortnite while helping to reduce the skills gap, there are less competitive situations.)

This particular controversy, while nothing new for FortniteThe lingering tension between his casual casual design and his competitive ambitions was perhaps the most controversial of his two-year history. Many streamers, professional players and even online sports organizations openly invited the company to reconsider the capabilities of the suit, and many were openly demanding its withdrawal. Although this does not seem to be happening, it is highly likely that these changes will make the device an important factor in tournaments and casual games in the foreseeable future.

the Fortnite the community seems happy.
