Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 continues to captivate players with its thrilling gameplay, but it is not without its balance issues. In response to feedback from the competitive Fortnite community, Epic Games has implemented a new hotfix to address some of the game’s imbalance issues.
So, what changes have been made in this latest hotfix? Interestingly, instead of nerfing some of the most powerful items, Epic has opted to make them rarer. Conversely, an underutilized item has received a buff, shaking up the game dynamics. Here are the key takeaways from the recent update:
Fortnite Balance Adjustments Hotfix – What’s New?
The latest hotfix introduces adjustments to two of the new Marvel weapons in the game. This marks the second round of nerfs to these items, albeit with a different focus this time around.
Firstly, the War Machine’s Hover Jet, the season’s equivalent of a Jetpack and a crucial mobility item, is being affected. This item, considered a game-changer by many players, will now be much harder to come by, adding a new layer of challenge for players.

Instead of reducing its power, Epic has decided to make the Hover Jet less common, increasing the challenge for players who rely on its mobility advantages to secure victory in Fortnite games.
Additionally, the new item, the Shuri Black Panther Claws, introduced in the latest update, is receiving a buff. These claws will now offer improved performance at longer distances and provide players with increased sprinting speed. While it may not match the utility of the Jetpack, these enhancements could make it a more viable option in gameplay.
