Just recently, there was a surprise unvaulting in Fortnite; Kinetic Boomerang came back! It only stayed for a day, though. It is the human-thinking moment: Are players unsure? The dual verdict: some say they are hyped up, while other half split the air with roasting. Let’s dissect the whole thing properly.
So what’s even the Kinetic Boomerang? If you missed Chapter 4, it’s a throwable weapon that returns to you. Sound sick? Talk about the announcement tweet that, well, had A MIXED BAG of reactions. One player said, “The most disappointing kinetic weapon in Chapter 4,” while another one said, “No, that’s ok. You can keep it.” Ouch.
But hey, some actually don’t hate it! The fans that really love it were tweeting things like, “Omg finally! it was so fun!” and “Damn looks beast ill try it later!!” So, I mean, it has supporters. Most, however, are indifferent or disgusted. “Flashy but useless in real fights,” one player said. Another said just, “Trash got readded.” Brutal.
The real question remains-why are we looking at 24 hours? Is Epic trying to test if the players really want this thing back? Or is this just some random nostalgic boast? Regardless, the clock is ticking. If you’re at least a bit curious, you’ve got a day to pick it up and try it yourself.
Where does it spawn? Great question. One player wondered if it was random or appeared in specific locations, but no clear answer has arrived. Typical Fortnite-straight up throw a weapon at the ground and let the world figure it out by itself.
Now here’s the elephant in the room: there are some other players who are outright screaming for more old and good weapons. “Bring back real weapons already,” asked another. Another stated how the Kinetic Boomerang “broke the streak in Chapter 4 where all the kinetic weapons were peak.”(Shoutout to Shockwave Hammer and Katana, apparently the GOATs of kinetic gear).
Basically: everybody else is confused. “Who asked for this?” one player asked. Reasonable.
So, what is the verdict? For people that love these quirky, gimmicky weapons, I can definitely see this being your jam. As for the sweaty beings that test the meta loadouts, I suggest you probably skip it. Regardless, it’s gone in 24 hours. Decide quickly.
Oh, and, on a less related note, some are using this as an opportunity to randomly ask about something else. “Any X-Men news at all?” came the reply. Bruh, wrong tweet.
To sum it all up: Kinetic Boomerang is back but questionable hype. Are you going for it or an easy pass? Either way, Fortnite stays unpredictable.
