So far, the RL seems to be the most popular from folks I’ve talked to. And don’t get me wrong, it looks like a lot of fun BUT it reminds me of something….
And yikes on my older videos. Heck, yikes on my newer ones too! I’ll be honest, I’m not super thrilled the new pistol is only a single shot (hoped it would be a Magnus kinda setup), the RL reminds me of past ideas, and there are more collectible jolts. Of that group, the aesthetics and silliness of the RL make it a bit more interesting. The initial image doesn’t seem to show sling attach points, and I hope that isn’t the case.
So far my favorite Fortnite blaster has to be the TS, if I had to choose. With all this Fortnite revealing happening, I wonder what’s next, but also what’s going on with Overwatch. Take care!
