‘Sniper situation is absurd’: Fortnite players lament dangerous state of long-range weapons

Even after taking multiple nerfs to the chin, the Reaper continues to dominate Fortnite lobbies, and players keep calling for further changes to the one-shot sniper rifle.

The Reaper is the only long-range gun available in Fortnite this season, and it was originally introduced in Chapter five, season one. The weapon received multiple nerfs in patch v28.1: its bullet speed decreased by 8 percent, the bullet drop was increased by 40 percent, and the gun was no longer guaranteed in vaults.
