Some top community members had a lot to say following the announcement that Epic Games will remove the Infinity Blade from Fortnite.
After being added on Tuesday, December 11, the Infinity Blade generated a massive amount of discussion among Fortnite fans.
Many believed that the sword was ‘too overpowered’ and left little room for any counters, which eventually led Epic Games to announce that the item will be removed from the game entirely.
Now that it is confirmed that the Infinity Blade will no longer be in the game, content creators and players alike took to social media to express their happiness with the developer.
You can view a collection of responses below from a number of personalites from the Fortnite community.

Literally just woke up and I see this beauty! Thank you Epic. That was all we needed for this Season to continue on being one of the best seasons we’ve had. https://t.co/amf06UYhfJ

Thank you guys for listening and showing us that you guys do care on what happens to this game. I know you guys probably had major plans for these mythic items, but maybe figure out plans to make them SPECIFIC for an LTM that can be unlocked through challenges as customizations.

Weapon balance, building, and movement around the map all are incredible right now in Fortnite
With the sword now gone they just need to make planes get destroyed if they fly into builds
Once they tweak planes I’m confident Fortnite Season 7 will be the most balanced season yet

Couldn’t be more relieved to see the sword vaulted in Fortnite.
In games, it’s super key to balance around things that are not only fun to play with but also play against.
It wasn’t ever fun to fight the sword.
Grateful to Epic for admitting they messed up. Wonderful news.— Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) December 14, 2018

Myself and many others have been very critical of @FortniteGame and @EpicGames lately. But for them to just come out and straight up say they screwed up and remove something they put in the game is incredible. I’ve never seen a development team ever do that. We are blessed.
