Does Fortnite need to change early game loot?
The most RNG-filled moment in a Fortnite game is when you first touch down on the ground.
Having a chest be in the spawn you targeted and having that chest give you a good weapon for the early game are crucial moments.
Many Fortnite games end on that step when they pull an Infantry Rifle or a sniper out of their first chest.
That loot RNG and the spawn RNG are really the only major sources of luck that happen consistently in most Fortnite games.

So as we get closer and closer to the Fortnite World Cup with esports biggest prize pool on the line, pro players are clamoring for something to change to help make the competition come down to skill, not RNG.
I personally want to see a smaller loot pool in Fortnite. Less Pistols, Infantry Rifles, Clingers, taking up spots where shotguns can spawn. Not having a shotgun early game is way too punishing imo

100 Thieves’ Parallax has been one of the more outspoken critics of the current state of competitive Fortnite.
He also has been active in saying he wants The Baller changed or removed entirely from competitive play because of the issues it causes in the endgame stage of Gauntlet games.

While professional players don’t make up the majority of the player base, they are an important subsection for Epic. Look no further than the $100 million in prizes, if Epic doesn’t care about the competitive player, why would they award them so much money?
Issues like this have caused the pro player base and the casual players to go head-to-head. One simple solution is to have competitive Fortnite take on a different ruleset exclusive to the Gauntlet mode which could help solve these issues for competitive players while leaving the main game untouched.

When Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 ends, Season 3 start date
Here is when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 ends and Season 3 starts. The season is off to a heated start, and it’s only going to get more intense.
Fortnite Chapter 3 has just entered its second season, and it’s off to a great start. Here is when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 ends and Season 3 starts.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 ended without much warning ahead of time from Epic Games. In fact, only a day before the Season ended did we get an announcement for Season 2.
Regardless, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is off to a hot start. We have new POIs, weapons, and a flashy new Battle Pass. There’s also no building to start and an ongoing turf war.
Whether you love or hate the new season, you might be wondering when the next one will start.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 End?
Fortnite Season 2 will end on June 3, 2022. This means the second season of the new chapter will last a little less than three months making it fairly short compared to Season 1.
This end date was found in the in-game files by data miners. Unlike last season where Epic Games listed two season end dates, there is only one end date this time around.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Start?
New Fortnite seasons usually start within 24 hours after the previous one ends. Players can expect Chapter 3 Season 3 to start on June 4.
That being said, leaker Shiina believes there will be an extended period of downtime after the season ends to prep for Season 3. We will know more about this delay as time draws closer.
Is There a Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Live Event?
The final update for Fortnite Season 2 is here and we now have confirmation that, yes, there will be a live event!
The Season 2 live event will likely focus on stopping the new Doomsday Device from going off at Loot Lake. It is a very similar tower to that of Midas’ Doomsday Device in Chapter 2 Season 2.
What Season is Fortnite on?
Fortnite is currently in Chapter 3 Season 2. This is the second season of the third chapter which started after Chapter 2 Season 8. While most players refer to this season as “Season 2”, it’s technically Season 20.
There were 10 seasons in Chapter 1 and 8 seasons in Chapter 2.
For now, that’s everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2. This chapter will likely span the next year or so and will be filled with exciting events.

How to unlock Marvel’s Prowler in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2
Fortnite Season 2 introduced Marvel’s Prowler to the Battle Royale, and players can unlock him via the Battle Pass and a few challenges.
Fortnite Season 2 adds not one but two Marvel characters to the game via the Battle Pass, but players might not be familiar with Prowler.
Season 2 started off hot with an amazing battle pass and a shocking removal of the game’s iconic building mechanic. Players were even more excited to see the Battle Pass had two crossover characters.
The first is Doctor Strange who has a new movie releasing in May. However, players may not be super familiar with the second crossover character. And it was surprisingly released alongside the Fortnite v20.20 update.
Prowler is an alias used by a number of people in the Marvel universe. But he most recently appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse as Miles Morales’ uncle. And the in-game skin is a similar depiction of the character.
Unlocking Prowler in Fortnite Season 2
As mentioned before, Prowler was locked behind a time gate. Players can unlock him by completing special challenges starting on April 19.
