Picture this: You’ve been counting down the days to Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless.
The teasers promised outlaw chaos, wild west showdowns, and skins so cool they’d make John Wick blush.
You log in day one, heart racing… only to feel your soul CRUMBLE.
The battle pass skins? Discount cowboy cosplay. The map changes? A tumbleweed simulator.
Your squad’s Discord call? Pure chaos: “Bro, this season SUCKS!” Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.
Let’s break down why players are calling this the “worst season ever”—and how to salvage the fun.
“LAWLESS” OR “LAWLAME”? WHY THE HATE IS EXPLODING
I’ve played every Fortnite season since Chapter 1. This one hurts. Here’s the tea, straight from Reddit’s rage-filled trenches:
1. BATTLE PASS SKINS: “OUTLAWS” OR OUT-OF-IDEAS?
The biggest gripe? The skins look like Fortnite’s garage sale rejects.
- “Dusty Desperado”: A cowboy… if cowboys wore plastic hats from Party City.
- “Bandit Queen”: Less “badass outlaw,” more TikTok influencer at a rodeo.
- NO ICONIC COLLABS: Where’s the A-list crossover skin? Previous seasons gave us Lara Croft, Darth Vader… this season? Crickets.
Reddit Verdict: “This BP is so bad, I’d rather pay not to unlock it.” – u/SweatyBuilder69
2. THE THEME: WILD WEST? MORE LIKE MILD MESS.
Epic promised “lawless chaos.” What we got:
- Map Changes: A few wooden shacks and a sandstorm that blinds you. The desert biome? Copy-pasted from Chapter 3.
- Gameplay Gimmicks: “Horseback riding” feels like steering a shopping cart with square wheels.
- No Big Twist: Remember Zero Point meltdowns or live events that broke the map? This season’s story? “Outlaws… exist?”
3. THE REAL CRIME: IT’S BORING.
No groundbreaking weapons. No fresh mechanics. Just… same old Fortnite, but with more dust. Players are fleeing to LEGO Fortnite or Ranked.
Even Pro streamers are roasting it:
“This season’s so dry, I’m getting a dehydration warning.” – Ninja
“FIX THIS, EPIC!”: HOW PLAYERS ARE REBELLING
The backlash is nuclear. Here’s how the community’s fighting back:
- Review Bombing: The season’s Metacritic score? Lower than a default dance emote.
- #NotMyFortnite Trends on Twitter: Memes of the “Bandit Queen” vs. Chapter 5’s Peter Griffin are savagely accurate.
- Boycotting the Battle Pass: Players are saving V-Bucks for next season. (Smart.)
BUT… Epic Games is quiet. No emergency patches. No “we hear you” tweets. Just… silence.
HOW TO SURVIVE (AND MAYBE ENJOY) THIS “LAWLESS” TRAINWRECK
Don’t uninstall yet! Here’s how I’m squeezing fun from this barren wasteland:
1. IGNORE THE BATTLE PASS. GRIND CREATIVE MODES.
- Red vs. Blue Maps: Play classic Team Deathmatch with actual good skins.
- Parkour Warriors 2.0: Vaulting’s gone? Parkour here instead.
- XP Glitch Maps: Farm levels while watching Netflix. No shame.
2. TROLL THE SEASON’S OWN GIMMICKS
- Ride Horses… Into the Storm: Bet your squad you can outlive the storm on horseback. Spoiler: You can’t.
- Sandstorm Snipes: Use the blinding dust to ambush sweats. Evil laughter required.
3. REVISIT OLD SEASONS (NOSTALGIA COPING)
- Chapter 2 Throwbacks: Land at Salty Springs in Creative. Cry a little.
- Unvaulted Weapon Codes: Bring back the Tactical Shotgun and Drum Gun. Pretend it’s 2018.
4. HOARD VBUCKS FOR CHAPTER 7
Epic always follows a flop with a banger. Save up! Rumor has it Chapter 7 could be Marvel-themed. Don’t miss out.
5. JOIN THE REDDIT RIOT
- Upvote r/FortniteBR’s “This Season Sucks” posts.
- Tag Epic’s devs in polite-but-pissed tweets. Demand refunds for the Battle Pass.
For casuals: Maybe.
The core gameplay’s still solid. For die-hards: Skip the BP, meme the flaws, and wait for Epic’s inevitable panic buffs.
My Personal Coping Strategy: I’m using this season to touch grass. Play Helldivers 2. Remember sunlight.
Fortnite’s survived worse (cough Chapter 3 cough). But this? This is a cry for help. Let’s pray the mid-season update adds literal dragons or T-posing Thanos. Until then…
Drop your rage in the comments. Share your survival tips. And remember: We’ll get through this. (Probably.)
