Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1: Top 8 New Adjustments in the First Update

Fortnite recently rolled out their much-anticipated chapter 4. The new season of the battle royale game brings many unique features for players to experience. From Reality augments to the introduction of Ex-Caliber, players have been overwhelmed by the content Fortnite has brought to its latest chapter. 

But, like always, new introductions and features always go through scrutiny. After the initial player experience exposure, Epic games are making slight adjustments to the new Chapter. These adjustments are aimed to balance out the game and also to ensure the excitement that the metaverse offers. 

These are the new 8 Fortnite Chapter 4 adjustments 

8) Capture Points 

New POIs are always a fun way to explore loot in the game. Chapter 4 of Fortnite brought nine new areas for exploration with an additional capture point feature. Now, Fornite has reduced the time needed to capture a point from 60 to 45 seconds. 

7) Tactical Pistols

The accuracy and recoil of the tactical pistol have been increased. The pistols now can give tough competition to assault rifles. 

6) Shockwave hammer

The hammer is a significant melee in this chapter. To balance it out, they have increased the cooldown of the hammer to 20 seconds. Fortnite also has fixed the issue where hammers dealt damage through structures and walls.

5) Shotgun changes

The thunder shotgun and the Maven auto shotgun received some changes. The equip time of the Thunder shotgun is slightly increased. The fire rate and accuracy of the Maven shotgun are increased to give it a more tactical shotgun feel.

4) Material Harvest 

 Many players were complaining about the number of materials that are received while harvesting was low. Now the rate of material harvested from rocks across the map has significantly increased. 

3) Geno Chests 

The spawn rate of Oathbound chests, also known as Geno chests, has been reduced to 70%. This indirectly also draws the fact that the number of Shockwave hammers per game will be much less.

2) Ex-Caliber

 The featured gun in this chapter received some adjustments. Fortnite has reduced environmental damage roughly to half. Buildings will no longer get one-shot by the Ex-Caliber during the building phase. The damage that enemies receive from the gun is also significantly reduced. 

1) Light Ammo

Light Ammo now drops in stacks of 20 instead of 18.
