Epic Games’ Fortnite has garnered a lot of praise from its enormous player base over the years. With several game modes on offer catering to a variety of player tastes and gameplay options, the platform has crafted a reputation of being a creator’s paradise even as it features a wide variety of original content from Epic Games’ talented developers.
However, not every addition to the platform and its various game modes has been well-received by fans, with some of them even drawing flak for the way in which they impact balancing on in-game mechanics that many players employ to gain an advantage over others during multiplayer sessions.

Fortnite Island has been an excellent addition to the platform’s many offerings, allowing players to explore an open world brimming with activities in their own avatar, making it a personal experience filled with adventure and fun.

While traversing the Island in its early days was limited to players traveling on foot, the addition of vehicles was a game-changer, allowing for the addition of new mechanics, traversal, and gameplay options for players to employ. With different vehicles on offer and a whole lot of customization options, vehicles soon came under a lot of criticism with the addition of vehicle mods that made them quite overpowered.

Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite Island has seen a lot of new content added to the game with vehicles and mods being a part of those additions. However, it seems that mods are going to be taken out of the equation in order to allow for a more balanced experience overall.

While many Fortnite players may breathe a sigh of relief, others look back fondly at how vehicle mods created the scope for truly unique combinations while adding features to vehicles that made getting around the Island a lot easier. The Reddit post below showcases how some players are going to miss the controversial addition to Chapter 5.
Despite Fortnite’s efforts to balance vehicle mods, they ultimately proved to be a challenge to both Epic Games and its players in terms of their effect on the game – which some players found quite compelling indeed.

Other players believe that Season 3 is going to be the source of many fond memories for Fortnite players on account of Epic Games’ efforts to bring creative new additions to its gameplay loop.
While Epic Games’ ability to listen to its players’ feedback should be lauded, its efforts to keep its offerings fresh for players through innovation are equally laudable.
Fortnite fans will undoubtedly be eager to see what the company does next for the Island while they continue to enjoy the many activities that it currently offers.
