Fortniteis the ever-popular battle royale known for its fast-paced close-quarters combat. To keep the game fresh, developers behind this immensely popular looter-shooter have many times gone out of the box to bring new mechanics and content to the evolving game. Unfortunately, at times, they get the thing wrong, which causes fan outrage.
One of the things introduced toFortniteis shotgun scopes. These reminisce of Call of Duty’s standard tactical combat and feel like it doesn’t belong inFortnite. With the frustration reaching its boiling point it is time forFortniteto forget this lesson from Call of Duty and do its own thing.

The inclusion of scopes on shotguns has divided theFortnitecommunity. Many players feel that the scopesdisrupt the core gameplay and have expressed their frustrationon social media.

One Reddit user has posed the question if he is the only one who hates this particular feature, saying that the addition doesn’t feel natural.
Not much time passed as fans started chiming in to express their frustration. One player has said that he would love to add a scope to a shotgun instead of finding a shotgun with scopes as loot.
Another player said that the gun is worse with a scope, while another one has said that he is avoiding blue and purple shotguns and opting for green shotguns as the greens come without a scope.
Scopes are intended for long-range weapons, and shotguns are primarily used for close combat, and when mixing the two it makes no sense, which the community has already realized.

One Reddit user has said that he is not all against scopes on shotguns as he uses a red dot scope.
Another one feels that scopes should affect the shotgun’s range so it makes them more useful. Despite some positivity, the overall feel of scopes on shotguns in the game is that scopes are dumb and shouldn’t be a thing.
The players don’t even use them on SMGs and snipers and there aren’t many useful additions. What developers should do is embrace the core of the game and make it fluid.
