Fortnite has recently launched a major event called Fortnitemares, but players quickly noticed a problem. While the new items introduced were enjoyable, they struggled to compete with the overpowered items that had been dominating the game for weeks. To address this issue, the latest hotfix has finally vaulted the Hover Jets in Fortnite.
The Hover Jets were a new type of Jetpack introduced this season, offering players a significant advantage in mobility. Games had become centered around finding a jetpack, making it essential for success, especially in Zero Build situations. However, with the focus shifting in Fortnitemares, the Hover Jets have been removed from the game.
With the Hover Jets gone, players are now exploring alternative options for mobility in Fortnite. The latest hotfix, implemented shortly after the recent update, has addressed one of the major balancing issues in the game.
Initially, players relied on the Hover Jets and the Shuri Claws for mobility this season. However, the dominance of the Hover Jets made it challenging to justify using other items like the Witch’s Broom introduced in the Fortnitemares update. With the removal of the Hover Jets, gameplay has undergone a significant shift, offering a different experience for players.
Despite the absence of the Hover Jets, players still have access to mobility options such as the Iron Man Flight Suit and the new Witch’s Broom. With these changes, Fortnite gameplay is evolving, providing a fresh and balanced experience for players.
