Description
Fortnite fans have been eagerly awaiting the new Attack on Titan crossover, which was recently added to the game in the v24.20 update. Along with the highly anticipated cosmetic items, the update also introduced two new legendary weapons: ODM Gear and Thunder Spears. While the former seems fine, fans have expressed disappointment with the latter. According to players, Thunder Spears are not as useful as they should be in battle. The hitbox is small, making it difficult to hit opponents accurately. Also, the damage they deal isn't impressive enough to justify using an inventory slot. Fans have expressed their frustration, with some calling for the weapon to be removed from the game entirely. On the other hand, the ODM Gear is a hit with gamers, with some comparing it to the Spider-Man Web-Shooters item. ODM gear is required for some of the Battle Pass missions to unlock the Eren Jaeger skin, so it's likely he'll stick around until the end of the season.
It's not uncommon for Fortnite items to be removed when they don't work as intended and then returned when fixed. However, it is unclear if Epic Games will go down this path with Thunder Spears.
Overall, while the Attack on Titan crossover brought a lot of excitement to Fortnite, the disappointment with Thunder Spears is a reminder that not all new additions to the game are a hit with players. It will be interesting to see how Epic Games responds to these comments and if they make any changes to the weapon in the future.
