In Fortnite the Junk Rift is a new item that is supposed to be particularly strong against the Mech. However, it could be too powerful.
What is the Junk Rift? Update 10.10 introduced the item “Junk Rift” to the game. It is a kind of airstrike that can be called in. Instead of bombs, different items drop from the sky that flatten everything underneath.
In the introductory video of the new item, you can already see the main target of the Junk Rift: the overpowering Mech. However, it seems that the Junk Rift will not only be a counter but might also be a bit too strong otherwise.
Junk Rift in Fortnite – Too strong or a good counter?
Where is the problem? The Junk Rift not only easily destroys the Mech but just about everything. It is therefore not just a counter but also a powerful weapon against the building kings in Fortnite.
So anyone who has just built up and wants to heal might be crushed by a port-a-potty or a giant anchor when the Junk Rift is deployed.
Is the Junk Rift a good counter? The item has another disadvantage. It takes a long time to create destruction. So if you want to use the Junk Rift against a Mech, it has to be standing still, because otherwise, the robot can easily run away.
The Junk Rift is therefore not a great counter against the Mech, but much more against campers who barricade themselves in buildings.
Here could be problems: Especially in the eSports scene, the Junk Rift could cause tensions. After all, it is quite normal there to build up at the end of the round and play in close quarters.
If a dinosaur comes from the sky that flattens everything underneath, there could be many kills.
What do you think of the Junk Rift? A good item or too strong?
