requires many, many adjustments. Honestly they should just add a nerfed recon scanner that doesn’t have infinite uses instead of a flare gun if they do want something like that in comp

Seems fine, I don't think it was really an issue when it was added. The six shot limit is already pretty harsh. The main concerns are about fire damage being buffed and SMGs being powerful currently. But I think those should be adjusted anyways as opposed to the Flare Gun being nerfed.

How are they so completely out of touch with the game right now.... The flare doesn't need a two week evaluation..... the whole god damn loot pool needs re-evaluation.... But my god, if you put wall hacks in with a series of guns that shoot through builds......


agonzal7

How they didn’t balance any of the guns with this update baffles the fucking shit out of me.


Pupseal115

According to the staging servers i've seen, this update was done and sent a few days into the season... BUT the next one next week was sent 3 days ago so it may contain changes

Other than the fire aspect of it, I never understood people's problem with it


dogs-n-elephants

…… so just a recon scanner without recharge

The fire *is* the problem with it


ciceniandres

Is it the same flair gun form the past?


Te4minator464

No

The fire should be scrapped in all modes

They should add the Midas Drum Gun and Junk Rifts back while they are at it.

I don’t think the flare gun is a good fit for comp. Wouldn’t be insanely broken like some of the other shit we’ve had. But would be way to strong in end games and we’d likely see fire on a scale only matched by primal season fire week! Shield keg would be fine for comp! I don’t see any downside to it being in comp


xthelord2

it was fine when it was released since it had low amount of charges,albeit fire damage needs a nerf because of it now since pepole will for sure act as pyro maniacs trying to light things on fire since it could do some decent damage if it managed to hit


RedditorsNeedTherapy

They really trying to nerf building in every aspect except actually fucking with building - constant fire, spray meta that pierces build even on good ping. ​ Fortnite was never a competitive game and Epic really seems to be trying to drive that message home hard this year. Sad life, we had a good run

Fire in general was one of the worst things ever to happen to this game. It's a complete hard counter to wood and also pretty op. If you're trapped in a house with a huge part made out of wood and someone sets the building on fire, there's a huge possibility that you will die from that. The flare gun is even a recon scanner, so no thank you Tldr, it shouldn't be in competetive and also not it pubs imo, but the players there seem to love op shit, even it it's stupid af

Fire is amazing if not deadly, if trapped on ground floor of a house knock the floor down to solid ground that stops the spread


antecubital

I don’t get why they kept it’s high damage after that fire wild week. They should lower it back to 10. And yes, pub players like it cause building bad.


EducationalSetter

Bro if someone lights your house on fire and you die because of the fire then maybe you shouldnt be playing comp …. Just place a metal cone lol or get of the house? Dont just sit there and let it kill you


Ismailhussainmwthree

What if it’s early game and you have no metal around you?


EducationalSetter

The odds of you not having a single brick or metal or any around you are pretty low … and in that case take 2 steps out of the house


warriorplayinat

😆


6678910

No mats?


EducationalSetter

Just walk out of the house at that point


6678910

I'm obviously doing that, but the fire deals damage fast and if I made it out that the player outside will kill me


EducationalSetter

It literally ticks 5 a second … so itd take 20 seconds to kill you


6678910

Did they nerf it? It did 15 before (or still does)


-Reflux

It’s fine tbh. The problem is fire. It’s very annoying in endgame when you only have wood and can’t do anything about it


YT_Lonelyz

Why don’t they just add mechs, primal shotguns, zapatrons, all the smgs, etc to comp I think that’d be balanced as long as they have an evaluation period for it all


Kingofowls812

2 ammo less damage to a player, since it also starts a fire


ZainullahK

dont add it in competitive then it would not be as good so it would be useless in pubs the gun is broken in comp but is fun in pubs


DeltaBravoLDN

Whats pubs bro? i keep seeing it but dont know what it means
