😀 Fortnite's Useless Features and Missed Opportunities

The video script discusses various features in Fortnite that have been deemed useless or underwhelming by the community. It starts with the Midas bundle and its skin that turns everything gold, then moves on to critique updates that have not met expectations, such as the ability to tame frogs which are not useful in combat. The script also mentions community-adored but non-essential features like thanking the bus driver, which was later updated with a tipping mechanism that requires a large amount of gold for a mere sound effect. It highlights how certain outfits come with built-in emotes that are rarely used, and the lack of practicality in some weapon modifications, such as scopes on shotguns. The script also covers the disappointments with the introduction of a train that had poor loot and was not as interactive as players had hoped. It touches on overpowered items like Zeus's lightning bolts that were eventually nerfed, the unpopularity of emoticons and how they are often included as part of bundles, and the issues with the cloak gauntlets that were initially exciting but later became less useful.

😒 Disappointing and Removed Fortnite Features

This paragraph delves into features that were not only considered useless but were eventually removed from Fortnite. It talks about the recycler, a weapon that was not well-received even in its Mythic version, and how it was a disappointment for fans of the Primal season. The paragraph also discusses the crafting feature that was intended to be a game-changer but ended up being a tedious process of upgrading basic weapons. The prop hider, which was supposed to offer a new way to disguise, turned out to be impractical in fast-paced matches. The much-hyped jump boots, or what players dubbed 'glorified hop rocks,' did not live up to expectations. The weather system, which initially brought exciting events like tornadoes, ended up being a letdown, especially with the underwhelming lightning strikes, and was ultimately removed from the game. The paragraph highlights the continuous addition of helipads despite the absence of helicopters in the game for years. It also mentions the snowball launcher being made exotic but not more powerful, and the poison dart being a weak addition to the game's arsenal. Lastly, it addresses the frustration of the fake driveable cars that were indistinguishable from real ones until it was too late, which the community found to be the most pointless addition.

Keywords

💡Midas Bundle

The Midas Bundle refers to a specific set of items within Fortnite, a popular online video game, which includes a skin that can turn everything gold. It is mentioned in the context of discussing seemingly useless updates by Epic Games, the game's developer. The Midas Bundle is an example of a cosmetic item that doesn't affect gameplay but is part of the game's extensive customization options.

💡Tame frogs

The ability to 'tame frogs' is highlighted as one of the features in Fortnite that the video considers to be useless. In the game, frogs are typically creatures that players must eliminate to gather resources. The concept of taming them, therefore, contradicts their intended purpose and is presented as an unnecessary and non-functional feature.

💡Thanking the bus driver

This feature was added to Fortnite following a petition from the community. Initially, it was a simple gesture that players could perform, but it was later updated to allow players to 'tip' the bus driver with 4,000 gold. The video argues that this update is excessive and ultimately useless, as it doesn't contribute to the gameplay experience and is an absurd amount to pay for a sound effect.

💡Modded shotguns with Scopes

The introduction of scopes to modified shotguns (modded shotguns) in Fortnite is mentioned as a feature that doesn't make sense. Traditionally, shotguns in the game did not have sights, and players were accustomed to firing from the hip. The addition of scopes to these weapons is seen as unnecessary and not particularly useful, as it doesn't significantly enhance the gameplay.

💡Train on the map

The train feature added to Fortnite's map is described as a letdown. While the idea of a train was initially exciting, the execution was found to be lacking. The train carried loot that was considered 'garbage,' and the best items were locked behind a chest that took a long time to open. Additionally, the train could not be stopped, making it difficult to access its contents and rendering it more of a hindrance than a useful addition.

💡Zeus's lightning bolts

Zeus's lightning bolts were a powerful item in Fortnite during the early part of season 2. They were so potent that they could eliminate players through their builds when combined with other mythic items. However, they were eventually removed from the game, which is an example of a feature that started strong but did not endure, reflecting the video's theme of initially promising but ultimately useless features.

💡Emoticons

Emoticons in Fortnite are mentioned as items that are rarely used by players, despite being included in many cosmetic sets. They are often bundled with other items in the 'Battle Pass,' but their usage in actual gameplay is minimal. The video suggests that emoticons are more of a gimmick than a practical feature, contributing to the discussion of useless elements in the game.

💡Victory Crown

The Victory Crown is an item that, when used, is supposed to make players temporarily invisible. However, the video argues that it acts more like a beacon, drawing attention rather than providing stealth. This item is presented as an example of a feature that fails to meet player expectations and is thus considered useless.

💡Reboot Vans

Reboot Vans are a feature in Fortnite that allows players who have been eliminated to be revived at these locations. However, the video questions their inclusion in solo modes, where they serve no practical purpose and only remind players of their lack of teammates. This is an example of a feature that may have been useful in team modes but is irrelevant and 'useless' in solo play.

💡Dragon's breath shotgun

The Dragon's breath shotgun is a weapon that combines a regular shotgun with fire bullets. It was anticipated to be a powerful addition to the game, but it turned out to be effective only at close range. The video uses this as an example of a feature that sounds great in theory but fails to live up to its potential in practice.

💡Crafting

The crafting feature was a major update in Fortnite that allowed players to upgrade makeshift weapons into better ones by collecting resources like animal bones. However, the video criticizes this feature for turning the game into a 'farming simulator' and not providing a satisfying reward for the time and effort invested. It represents a feature that had potential but was not well-executed.

💡Helipads

Helipads are mentioned as a recurring but useless feature on Fortnite's map. Despite the fact that helicopters have not been part of the game for two years, helipads continue to be added in each new chapter. They serve no purpose and are an example of a feature that persists despite being irrelevant to current gameplay.
