🤔 The Great Balancing Act
Lightsabers have transformed Fortnite into a Jedi playground... but their dominance raises questions. Will blasters become obsolete relics? Can Vader’s throne room become more than a chaotic death trap? And what happens when the Star Wars hype fades – will these weapons vanish like smoke from a thermal detonator? Epic Games walks a tightrope between fan service and gameplay balance. Perhaps the real lesson is that true power requires responsibility... or at least good Wi-Fi. What’s your take – are lightsabers Fortnite’s most brilliant crossover or a temporary chaotic delight?
