Latest Fortnite Season 3 Weapon Meta Raises More Questions Than Answers Among Several Hardcore Fans

Fortnite fans might be rejoicing the arrival of Season 3, however, some players are very much worried about the meta of the gameplay for this season. It seems like Epic Games is not placing much heed on the call for balancing the weapons and right now, the players are having a hard time grasping the meta of the weapons.

As you can see in the tweet below, popular leaker Shiina is having a hard time trying to grasp the shotguns this season. They talk about playing with just Striker Pump which feels much more satisfying than the other ones. Overall, they are quite dissatisfied with their experience for this season.
