The overpowered sword “Infinity Blade”, which caused fear and terror in Fortnite, is back. The last time the sword was shouted out of the game in disgrace. Epic brings this weapon back into play, but only for a new mode.
How does the sword return? This overpowered weapon will only be available in a new limited-time game mode. There, only legendary or epic weapons can be found.
In this Fortnite mode, the sword will also be available again. But even in this mode, the weapon will receive a significant nerf.
So the sword returns to Fortnite
What will be changed about the sword? The sword will be significantly weakened in the new mode. It starts with the fact that multiple players can carry a sword.
As a result, the owner of the Infinity Blade is not overpowered, but other players have the same weapon.
Additionally, you can no longer gather materials with the sword. This was very easy back then with the sword.
Moreover, the jumping ability with the weapon has been reduced.
What was the problem with the weapon? The Infinity Blade was introduced in Season 7. Back in December 2018, the weapon sparked numerous discussions, as the sword was quickly rated as overpowered.
Only one player could simultaneously carry the sword, becoming a sort of “final boss” and gaining significant power.
This was a problem for many professionals with the sword, as in tournaments, the weapon significantly distorted fairness. Whoever carried the sword had good chances to win. Thus, during the Winter Skirmish in December, there was a real slaughter with the sword.
How did the players react: The players found the sword way too powerful and demanded Epic to remove it from the standard game.
Epic should build a separate mode for it. Because the sword changed Fortnite drastically.
How did Epic respond to the criticism: They initially did not react at all, but announced that they would bring more such “mythical items”. Epic apparently wanted to keep Fortnite fresh and exciting, frequently bringing such intentionally overpowered weapons into the game.
Then there was a relatively small nerf of the sword, after which the protests became louder.
After the hate towards the weapon reached its maximum from all sides, Epic removed the sword from the game again. The Fortnite players had virtually shouted the sword out of Fortnite.
Now, after about 4 months, the weapon is back.
However, it is available in a modified form and only in a game mode. In the normal game mode, the sword will not be available.
About a week ago, the Boom Bow also came to Fortnite. This weapon is received much better:
