Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hitscan Weapons Return, Bringing Back a Classic Gameplay Element

Epic Games has announced that Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 will feature the return of hitscan weapons, a mechanic that was first introduced in Chapter 1 but largely phased out in Chapter 5. The change is expected to bring back a fast-paced gameplay element that fans have been missing.

What is Hitscan and Why is it Returning?

Hitscan is a mechanic that allows bullets to hit the target in the crosshair almost instantly, eliminating the need for bullet drop calculations. This change means that the days of bullet drop guns, which became a staple of Fortnite gameplay in Chapter 5, will be a thing of the past.

The news has sparked excitement among fans, with many taking to social media to express their enthusiasm. One fan exclaimed, "This was make or break for me, CHAPTER 6 LOOKS FIRE." Another fan called this change the "Biggest W in the history of the game." However, not everyone is pleased with the return of hitscan, with some fans expressing their disappointment on social media.

The season's main theme is Demon Hunters, influenced by yokai hunters and Japanese culture. The season will also feature collaborations with popular franchises, including a Godzilla skin and a Big Hero 6-themed event.
