Being in full bloom, Ninja’s Blitz Boss Loot Week is creating ripples in the Fortnite community. It kicked off with Snipers Only day, and judging from what is going on, so much will just go crazy. The official rather ones have dropped the scheduled events, and some gamers are hyped about it-well, a few of them, that is. Others? Mixed vibes, to say the least.
July 4-11 features a different mode each day. Day 1 was Snipers Only, with some time set for Community Picks in-between, and Ninja’s throwing things around through the week here and there. Shotguns Only will be here again, ’cause, why not add another layer of chaos and fun? But not all the players are in favor. Some have already been asking where their snipers have gone, while others just want season leaks instead. Classic community.
Then there is the whole…Ninja affair. It kind of brought in a few more reactions. Some want his skin to be back in the shop, some are mocking his “death-faced” expression in the promo art (“He looks dead inside,” stated one of the commentators), and many are just done with it. “Grown man who acts 13. Cool,” chimed one unimpressed gamer. Brutal, but really, that’s Twitter.
The answer thread, meanwhile, is this chaotic potpourri of unlinked demands, conspiracy theories, and a stubborn “day 400” plea for a Tsuyu Asui skin. Somewhere in these mentions, one guy even made a formal business proposal to “reconnect the community.” Kudos to him! Also, if you have some time, there is this ongoing discussion on whether or not Epic turned the anti-cheat off since, according to a very angry player, “EVERYONE IS HACKIKG EVERY GAME.” Typos aside, one can understand where he is coming from.
Now, the harshest drama can be found in the schedule confusion. While trying to make an official calender of dates, one user even did a back-and-forth with an AI bot (yes, for real). The bot then went on to apologize for its errors in bad grace until it got it right. Almost impressive. Almost.
What’s next? More chaos, probably. With Community Picks and Ninja throws still in tow, this week is shaping up for one hell of a ride worthy of either a love-hate relationship, judging from the replies. No middle ground. And so that is just content for Fortnite-world, and hence what really matters. On a side note, if you don’t mind, we are going to go check if sniping under Blitz is as evil as it sounds.
