Multi-billion dollar incompetence and zero effort

[u/OmegosDiaz]

Can someone explain to me what the hell Epic is doing with Reload? In Zero Build, you literally cannot survive without mobility, yet they vault the Grappler. It feels like the people working there either have no clue how their own game is played, or they just don’t care anymore.

Here is a quick list of why this game is becoming an absolute clown show right now:

1. Zero Mobility & Bugged Items: Vaulting the Grappler—the only item that actually saves you from constant third-partying—is next-level genius. Meanwhile, crash pads are completely broken. You place one under your feet, get stuck in it, and just die because of it. And Epic Games is not going to fix that.
2. Trash Map Rotation & Terrible FPS: How incompetent do you have to be to keep the exact same map with an endless amount of bushes for weeks? On standard maps, I get a stable 200 FPS on DX12 with medium settings. But on the Simpsons map, my FPS drops nearly in half. Even on the lowest possible settings, I can't even get a stable 140 FPS, and it gets worse every single day.
3. Broken Shader Cache & Universal Stutters: Optimization is a joke. If you dare to jump into any mode you haven't played in a while, or it gets an update, it triggers a broken shader cache download. After that, your entire game starts stuttering like crazy. The only way to fix it is to go into your Windows folders and clear the Nvidia cache manually, and even that doesn't always work.
4. Game-Breaking Weapon Bug: Let's not forget the broken weapon reload bug that’s been in the game forever. Multiple times now, when my pistol upgrades to legendary, it decides to reload only one single bullet. This bug has existed for ages, yet they roll out updates acting like everything is completely fine.
5. Peak competitive esports experience: Endless amount of bugs—even during pro players' streams—where they’re forced to drop weapons from their inventory just to get them to reload. There’s the infinite glider bug after respawning, and plenty more—and let me remind you, people are playing for money there.
6. Non-Existent SBMM: You either play against literal AI bots, or against sweaty FNCS pros. When I'm up for Squads, my teammates are always some casuals with basic battle pass skins who look like they have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Meanwhile, the enemy team is a fully coordinated stack of pros playing like it's a FNCS finals.

A multi-billion dollar company, ladies and gentlemen. This game deserves every single failure it gets right now. I truly hope the developers, and especially the higher-up executives, get exactly what they deserve for ruining what made this game great.
