The importance of shields and health boxes cannot be emphasized enough in Battle Royale games and removing them will cause a huge controversy
Fortnite Chapter 2 is still fresh and with it came a ton of new stuff, but in the midst of all this thing, one of the most important things that everyone absolutely needs is getting ignored.
As pointed out by Redditor u/Brogan0, he had to search through 24 chests without finding any mini shields. As much as weapons and other things are important, health and shields take the most precious commodity.
Every player is always in dire need of these things as they literally can save your life, but the new update makes it hard for everyone to find these things. Maybe Epic Games is now focusing on the combat aspect more than the survival but the entire premise of a Battle Royale Game is about finding resources and being the last person alive.
Though nothing is officially revealed by Epic Games, Fortnite Chapter 2 does seem to do a lot of things differently. You can check out the clip provided by u/Bogan0 and you can literally see the frustration that the player goes through.
If this becomes a regular occurrence, then it will surely bring up a huge controversy along with it. Only time can tell what Epic Games have on their minds as no patch notes are being released recently.
Epic Games recently released the Chapter 2 version of Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, Fortnite is available for PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android Devices.
