Fortnite players slate the return of OP Deku Smash

Fortniteplayers are split over the return of the Mythic Deku Smash, with some arguing that the overpowered item should be removed from the game.

After the slightly underwhelmingForniteWilds, it’s fair to say thatLast Resorthas put the game back in everybody’s good graces. The latest heist-themed season may feature a few too many NPCs for my liking, but it’s brought back some killer weapons (some of which I’m yet to get my hands on) and new interesting locations. There are rumours that the game could soon be gettingboth a first-person modeanda new open-world game mode. In the meantime though, this week’s update brought back an old favourite, or so we thought. While many have delighted in the return of the Deku Smash, others are demanding it immediately be Vaulted again.

Over on Reddit, many criticised the Mythic’s power. One userwrote, “This season was being heralded as the best in this Chapter. It was extremely well balanced. Mobility was good. Weapon pool was fair and balanced. There were no OP Mythics that were ruining the game. So why Epic … Why must you ruin a good thing? This season didn’t need this nonsense.”

Many agreed. “Deku Smash is incredibly annoying,”addedDrewskeet, while Fortnitesworstsnipersaid, “They always manage to ruin it with some stupid addition.” It’s not the only OP item. Don’t forget that Foundation MK7 is lying in the vaults, plus Lightsabers could return in a few weeks for the Ahsoka event. Have mercy on us.
