CouRage Explains How to Make the Fortnite Mounted Turret Balanced

The mounted turret is one of the latest weapons to be added into the massively popular battle game of Fortnite by developer Epic Games. However, the addition of the mounted turret has not been very well received by the Fortnite community, as many players feel that the recently added weapon is too powerful and is not something the title needs to have in it. While Epic Games has made significant nerfs to the weapon in order for it to not be as dominant, many members of the community still feel that more changes need to be made if Epic Games does not intend to remove the mounted turret from the battle royale game.  

One of the latest high profile community members to address the controversy surrounding the newly added weapon was Twitch streamer and YouTuber Jack "CouRage" Dunlop who took to Twitter to explain the changes he feels need to be made to the Fortnite weapon in order to make it more balanced. 

"How to make mounted turrets more balanced," Courage said to begin his post regarding the Fortnite mounted turret. "Can only carry one (so you can’t place two down to avoid the cool down), Turret needs to be small to expose their head more , Give it a brief setup time so you can’t just drop it down and instantly start firing," continued CouRage.

-Turret needs to be small to expose their head more
-Give it a brief setup time so you can’t just drop it down and instantly start firing

Please save us, Epic.

The popular Twitch streamer went on to end his post by stating the simple message of "Please save us, Epic." This same message has been echoed by much of the Fortnite community since the addition of the mounted turret in the battle royale title. 

It remains to be seen if the changes presented by CouRage or the rest of the Fortnite community will motivate any decision by Epic Games to nerf or remove the mounted turret from Fortnite will be acted upon by the developer. However, with Epic Games' past of taking community feedback to heart on major issues, it would not be surprising to see more major changes coming to the mounted turret in the future.
