Summary
Epic Games' recently released OG game mode forFortniteis getting a mixed response as players have discovered how many bots are in their lobbies. WhenFortnite’s OG mode was released, it was meant to mimic Chapter 1 Season 1, but there are some glaring differences.
BeforeFortnite OGwas released as its own game mode, Epic Games released a temporary season in the primary version of the game. This happened at the end of Chapter 4 whenFortnite OGtook the place of Season 5 ahead of the release of Chapter 5. Because thisFortniteseason broke player count recordsat the time, Epic surveyed its community to see if gamers would like to see OG return as its own mode. Due to popular demand,Fortnite OGexists alongside Battle Royale, Zero Build, andLEGO Fortnite. Despite its success, gamers are protesting OG’s apparent excessive use of bots.
Reddit users Imalonexc and Alotofbytes are among manyFortnite OGplayers expressing their disappointment in Epic’s continued use of bots. The former highlighted an update from leaker Wensoing, who stated that OG lobbies have a minimum of 88 bots. According to the leaker, skill-based matchmaking plays no role in this, meaning that high-skill and low-skill players alike will find bots in their matches. The latter shared a gameplay clip showing two bots fighting each other in the final stage of the game. The video shows the player watching the two bots wasting ammo by shooting at everything but each other. The gamer then defeats both bots, earning aFortniteVictory Royalethat may not have been so easy if the lobby had more players.
Fortnite Fans Spot Massive Bot Issue in OG
While bots help populate each match to ensure that players aren’t waiting long for the next one, their glaring gameplay mistakes make them stand out from regular gamers. Though they occasionally have precise aim, they typically miss their shots and fail to hide behind cover or use utility items like Shockwave Grenades or Port-A-Bunkers. Beyond these bot issues inFortnite OG, players have also highlighted various things that don’t belong in a mode that attempts to recreateFortniteChapter 1 Season 1. Among these are turbo building, advanced build editing, and large ammo boxes littered around the map. Build editing has been tweaked over the years, turbo building was added in patch 3.0, and large ammo boxes were introduced with patch 11.0.
Although someFortniteleakers have suggested a high bot count in OG lobbies, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed this detail. AsEpic continues to updateFortnite, the number of bots in these matches may decrease after a future patch. WithFortnite OGexpected to continue through each Chapter 1 season, multiple problems may be resolved over time
