Just after a day of its release, Epic Games has reviewed the newly added Infinity Blade in Fortnite and has seriously nerfed it. This was the first sword added to Fortnite but it turned out to be a very powerful weapon which according to fans was causing too much imbalance in the game.
The new update will be live soon and once it is live, Infinity Blade will be much less powerful than it is at the moment. Ever since the release of Infinity Blade, fans have been giving feedback that the weapon is too powerful for its own good and players are now simply aiming to get their hands on one and this is seriously destroying the game’s competitive nature.
This is the second time Epic Games has added a special weapon in the game with the previous one being Thanos’s Infinity Gauntlet. This provides unique gameplay for the players but Thanos’s Infinity Gauntlet was also nerfed seriously after it was added to the game when fans complained about it being too powerful as well.
Studio’s official statement on this was
The presence of Mythic items in gameplay is to provide an interaction a step above the Legendary item functionality and something you’ll continue to see. To us, that means changing the way the game is played for those who interact with that item. The addition of items in this tier provide new and flavorful ways to interact with the map and generally shake up normal play across default modes.
Infinity Blades comes from Epic’s mobile games Infinity Blade which were recently removed from Apple App Store. Infinity Blade was added to Fortnite on the same date i.e. December 13, 2018. But due to its power, it was nerfed just after one day but the update is not live yet. Epic plans to release the update soon.
