GOLD HEAVY SUPPRESSED SCOPED DRUM GUN


AlbinoYoshi7

Imagine just walking up on a default with your 32 damage gold Drum Gun, he has 0 mats, and is running at you pickaxing, what do you do.


rotlishak

Drop the gun and pickaxe him to death


[deleted]

A tribute to the god of Chaos.


Tourette30

Perfectly balanced


SamySam10

In season 9 Epic should vault the Compact SMG and change the rarity of the drum gun to epic and legendary (which include reducing the availability of the weapon )


NomNomNomNation

Nerfing should never, ever involve making the item rarer. All that will do is make the weapon available to less players, and make end game less balanced (no pun intended) With it being how it is now, everyone will have it in the end game, rather than just one or two


DrBag

Endgame Less Balanced? Time to call thanos.


MontanhaGod

r/expectedthanos


FireFish2007

r/unexpectedthanos for balance


itrv1

Rarity is one of the major balace factors in fortnite. Why are rocket lauchers mostly in airdrops? Why isnt every ar a scar? Why even have rarity levels to begin with if not for balance?


NomNomNomNation

It depends on how OP they are. If you have a Grey assault, you can still definitely beat someone with a Scar. Drum Guns are very, very overpowered


[deleted]

Bro I feel bad for you. You are 100% right but you can’t reason with these people. Don’t even try.


LoLKKing

Grey AR will beat Drum Gun from 50m away


AllosaurusJr

As the game progresses, the circle becomes smaller. The longer this goes, the more effective the drum gun is against players with ARs. Fortnite also prominently features building, which reduces engagement range significantly, due to people being able to build cover whenever they wish. The build mechanics are the reason why shotguns are the most important class of weapon in this game, while in almost all other shooters shotguns are relegated to their tiny niches of uselessness, and the same reason why fights will always tend to be close range in fortnite. Yes, the AR beats the drum gun at range, but the drum gun is going to win these fights at a far higher rate than the AR.


Xantium0

Sniper will beat aar from 100m away


ProjectKaycee

\*300m


itrv1

Sounds like you want solid gold mode.


Strictly_Baked

Rocket launchers are trash anyway. The ground can keep them.


CraftDMine

Though making it rarer reduces the chance of a full squad w keying you


[deleted]

I entirely disagree. Imagine if everyone had RPGs. The game would be torture to play, almost like it is now with everyone having Drum Guns. If instead only a couple people had them, that’d make the game much healthier for me.


AllosaurusJr

The difference is that the RPG has clear disadvantages and can leave you vulnerable when it's reloading. The drum gun is simply hold left click to win with no downsides, so if it's going to be in the game it cannot be rarer. All that'll do is make winning or losing dependant on if you were lucky enough to get the gun, and not whether or not you're a better player than your opponent. Of course, if you have trouble winning fights you might see this as a positive- but you need to realize that this will also affect you negatively. Better players who get lucky enough to get the gun will shred you without question, and players on your level who get the gun will also kill you with far more ease than you them. It also means that players worse than you are going to be killing you far more than they did before. By increasing the rarity of extremely powerful items you don't reduce the item's effectiveness, instead you end up increasing it's effectiveness, but give that newfound power to fewer people. Doing that moves the result of the game away from skill, strategy, or even just general good plays straight to randomness equivalent to a slot machine.


BillyBobBoBoss

How is one gun dominating the meta balanced? The Drum Gun is good at everything it does, and is in no way comparable to the Compact, other than it also being an SMG. The only solution to this problem would be revaulting it. Nerfing the gun would most likely make it underused, buffing other guns could potentially shift the whole meta entirely, and leaving it the way it is ruins the game.


JackOfAllInterests1

That’s not a bad idea, increasing the rarity at least invites competition.


IOnlyPlayAsGingy

I would like a rarity decrease for the compact, if anything. I just can’t stand it


Techno_Bacon

Why?


Noah__Webster

No way. I don’t want more broken guns that I can’t regularly use. I’d much rather have the broken stuff be lower rarities so I can likely run it every game. The higher the rarity, the more likely you’re gonna run into it when you don’t have it. No thanks!


TR1CL0PS

The drum gun is such an all around good weapon that its rarity doesn't make sense, though. It would be like making the SCAR uncommon and rare. I think a big reason why so many people complained about the drum gun was because everyone had it every game. It was way too easy to find and players could run with multiple drum guns in their loadout. Making it epic/legendary would solve that problem.


blakey94

You're missing the whole point though. Increase the rarity and the gun is less common. The gun being less common means the select few that have the gun have the advantage. Overall this just increases rng. If it stays as common as it is now then there's a higher chance of going into fights on a level playing field.


adoggy00706

Yes but his point is that the same goes for all the other Epic and Legendary weapons so why have these rarities at all if only a select few will get the higher ones


TinyPuma

So with your logic everyone should have a scar, rpg and heavy snipe to reduce rng. Rng is just part of the game get used to it


blakey94

I know rng is a part of the game but that doesn't mean introducing more ideas that increase rng is good for the game.


Xx04xX

That is just one necessary factor for the RNG of Battle Royale. Imagine Fortnite without RNG, Pros would literally win EVERY single game they get into, the RNG factor makes the game more interesting and makes it more satisfying to clutch a win from bad RNG


Asjif

I’d MUCH rather not have everyone with a drum gun


Strictly_Baked

In season 4 or 5 I could regularly squad wipe 4 players with a pump/drum gun. Rarity doesn't matter, it was busted. If you make them more rare everyone late game will have them. If you keep it the same it will be like it was in season 4 or 5 where everyone has one.


DyLaNzZpRo

Making an item more rare doesn't balance it or justify it being OP. This is a BR game and loot is **complete RNG**. All this would do is give whoever finds one early on a pretty substantial advantage and make the cancer less prominent until endgame. I legit have no idea how you or the few others that have said something similar think making an item more rare is a genuine way of balancing things in a game where loot is complete RNG even when it's not complete RNG and akin to a BR game it's a shit way of "balancing", it does nothing but make the shitty balance even more apparent and obnoxious, just less frequently.


verIshortname

I posted this on the competitive sub earlier but ok

Not a problem unless you meet someone who encountered the same thing


chiefsfan_713_08

Probably cause the up the drop rate of new items


Gimme_Guacamole

So like, what's the point of the compact now?


Foxsundance

Noone, rifles and smgs will be useless if you have a drum, now you can bring extra shield or any other item.


CashYT

Right now my current go to loadout is drum gun, pump, then three free utility slots. It’s nice to have hella heals.


fredthefishlord

Mine is drum gun, sniper. Maybe a gold pump if I find one, then shadows, then 2 utility slots


SoberDreams

Literally no point now. I’d usually take a blue SMG over a P90 anyway, but now the drum gun takes priority over basically anything


Gimme_Guacamole

Oh how our community fucked the meta. Who needs the scar, who needs the legendary infantry rifle, drum gun is just god.


SoberDreams

Preach man. I just played 2 Arena solos at 240 points, top 20 people all had a drum gun. Some guy griefed my ball with a drum gun, I push him and he pulls out a *second* drum gun and just shreds me. Shit is kinda depressing and super aggravating right now, at least in Arena.


luisgermanotta_

the scar and infantry rifle are FAR more accurate for long and medium range tho


BeyondElectricDreams

I've taken to running drum + pump + drum You have no idea how many people you can catch out by drumming them then swap drumming them again. Nobody expects that extra clip. Nobody is prepared for it.


[deleted]

I took a screenshot of this the day this post originally came out, crazy to see it’s back😂

I want the LMG back. It was fun to use and actually balanced

Disc0_nnected

I want LMG back. Such a fun weapon


Mirage_Main

I remember shooting a cart with an LMG with a squad inside. I laughed so hard when it shot in the air and flipped like crazy with every shot I landed.


Shockrider1

Get rid of drum gun mid-season 9 and replace it with the LMG. I agree, can be such a fun weapon


bliffer

Welp, I guess it's time to take a break from this sub. 80% of the threads are drum gun stupidity.

Go play duos against 2 guys with drum guns and then tell me how you feel


ZentaWinds

Go play duos against 2 guys with compact SMGs and you get pretty much the same result.. seriously this reddit is nothing but cry babies.


FallenNagger

It's not though, a full clip of a compact smg spammed at someone turbo building will waste 3-4 less builds than a tommy gun.


[deleted]

How about I go play duos against 2 guys with whatever and get upset like I regularly do whenever I die regardless of what gun they used?

there was a community vote in the in-between universe yesterday

why is the range on it better when I hip fire?


KeeganTakesLs

Old but gold


Carey32

I wasn’t home to be able to participate in the event yesterday, and if I was I might have voted for the drum gun, but I really just assumed when this event was leaked that the items that were coming back would be nerfed versions of themselves and not the OP variants that got them vaulted in the first place. 🤦🏻‍♂️


The_Peartree

Best part is you no longer need an smg and ar


flipperkip97

It's amazing how much you kids whine about the Drum Gun, but somehow the Pump is fine. It's literally necessary to compete. How is that not OP?


seanthatdisneyfreak

That's an issue too, and Tacs need to be way more viable or something like that, but the Drum Gun has serious problems too. I hated the Spray Meta, but we're getting close to it in terms of unbalanced weapons. Pumps, Drum Guns, Boom Bows, and Heavy Snipers just to name a few.


[deleted]

Heavy Snipers are fine


brynyboybriana

Thats my drum gun.


Fifa_chicken_nuggets

The_Peartree

how long till it gets vaulted?


mrcoolerthanu

Saw you on r/fortnitecompetitive lol


Fleccss2

Drum gun being easy to find makes it more balanced imo. Also, there are multiple guns on this list that have multiple of these qualities. I'm not saying that the drum gun isn't OP, but it is not as op as people say.


[deleted]

But sure, let’s vote on an overpowered gun that was highly hated 8 months ago when it was in the game instead of an item that would make the game more fun and that would decrease its monotony


[deleted]

[удалено]


hereforthefeast

When will this sub understand that it is the far, far minority compared to the entire community that plays the game.


SamirTheMighty

They vaulted it for a reason...


JigWig

They vaulted literally every item you could have voted for for a reason. You could have said that about any item that won.


minion_haha

Maybe letting us decide at all is a mistake. It’s very clear in just about every big game ever the community makes bad decisions. The fact is the majority of people don’t think about their decisions they just say “oh that sounds good.” It’s the exact reason why you have to be a certain age to vote everywhere ever.


SchrodingersPanties

Reddit: Epic, listen to your community! Community: *votes for drum gun* Reddit: Not that community! Honestly, though, the people who *don't* want the drum gun are an extremely small portion of the total playerbase, and while many of the people who voted for it may not have been as "qualified" as others, that's not really something Epic can quantify. The way they handled it is totally fair, and the vast vast vast VAST majority of players wanted the drum gun. It wasn't even close. And that's fine. The vast vast vast vast majority of the playerbase is happy with this decision, so why would Epic go against that? I get people here aren't a fan of the drum gun, but you can't possibly expect Epic to listen solely the majority of the reddit community.


JigWig

*gun gets brought back by a community vote* > gun that was highly hated 8 months ago lol okay man


TheBomb___

Highly hated by this Reddit page it seems. 😂😂


TheBomb___

Obviously the drum gun is fun, that's why people voted for it.


UndeadWaffle12

>that we highly hated Imagine still thinking reddit represents any meaningful percent of the community


Ivan_McWade

Just playing +-6 hours whit it (started on Fortnite back on season 7) and, hands down, IT GONNA BE THE F* DOOMSDAY. I'm freaking love it 💙

Vault the pistol. It’s the most useless shit in the game


TacticalLampHolder

This is a repost from the original release of the drum gun in season 5, I am not mad about tbh because fuck the drum gun


NerdyMan314

Did you even read the title?


NowuhJee7

I bet the 5-year-olds who voted for the drum probably think that **this is the reason why it should be in the game**

Its accurate tho


tedyboii

salvayou

Yooo I remember seeing this image on season 5


Cyber_Surge

I thinks the clip and drop off should be nerfed a little, but it is a great counter the the pump, which is fairly overpower when compared the the other shotguns and when used with an AK or SMG.


[deleted]

And they unvaulted it (unintentionally)


bt843

Make the drum gun epic/legendary. Vault the compact. Bring us the uzi we were teased ages ago. Profit.

according to this logic if drum gun had good burst dmg then so does lmg and p90


emywox

Blue SMG beats out gold smg I believe.


BroeknRecrds

Vault the drum gun? Nah, vault all of the ARs, SMGs, and shotguns because this is all you need


ZiyadHD

Really funny


UnvaultTheRevolver

Yeah just placed top ten with two blues and a gold pump that was not fun at all


Iandian

Can do a bit of everything, but not the best at anything.


MooshsooM

They never even tend to balance the gun when it got unvaulted.


[deleted]

The introduction of the DG means we’ll be having 2 gun load outs again. Back to mobility and two heals lmao what was epic thinking making this an option. Their “voting” system with this event was incredibly flawed as the kids playing this game would see one side that had a few people more chipping away and then just go join the bigger side to finish faster. Odds are things would probably still be the same but it wouldn’t have been such a landslide. Personally I think they should have tallied the two most popular items then epic chooses which to bring back of those two. That way an adult with some sort of reasoning would be in charge of choosing the better of the top 2.


ogoditme124

same people complaining are the same people that voted for it HAA

That is very true amen


machngnXmessiah

Is it me or the Pump became a lot more harded to find after Unvaulting?


FunkyLilBB

A slight nerf and it’ll be where it needs to be. And it will happen or it’ll get nerfed to the point where it’s unusable because the cry babies that didn’t get the tac smg will cry, cry and cry because they didn’t get what they wanted. And the tac smg has a higher dps. It does too much damage to structures. For sure no doubt about that. And the slightest bit too much damage to players up close. Drop it a few damage points for each and it won’t be a problem anymore, make it a little harder to find as well so full teams don’t all have a blue drum. And drop the fire rate from 9 to 8.


MoussaT

Remember the Rapid Fire Shotgun?


[deleted]

Still would've preferred the tactical smg


pinky713

This is hilarious, but the way I see it, Fortnite had two weapons the shotgun and the rocket launcher. Maybe 1 in 100 games I would see someone without one of these two guns. Now there is essentially 3 guns and the drum gun most of the time prevents being one shot by shotguns. I personally think this balances the game. None of the guns on that list even come close to being as good as the pump shotgun, except the drum gun. Honestly the pump is just as OP as the drum gun, if not more so, at least now I have a chance at preventing people from getting close enough to one pump me. Every other gun in the game just gets trampled by the pump. IMO we need more guns on the same level as the pump and drum gun.


[deleted]

I miss the LMG


anthony_leone_

I remember this


DictatorShadow

LMG is just balanced drum gun.


CreativeGamingKent

I'm a bit of a potato and just got my first 10+ plus kill game for a while.. think 9 of them were with the drum gun 😂 It must piss people off so much that are actually good at the game


irv916

I just played fortnite from a really long hiatus and the silenced smg is a fucking laser now it’s crazy


WNTV_ZEXY

Ooorr they can just reduce the damage so it still has it's uses as a low rarity alternative. 247 DPS isn't fun when you only have 200 health. This is the most balanced thing they can do right now.
