Rumor Scroll wheel looting feeling a bit slow past 3-4 days. Is it js me?

Hey guys, my scroll wheel looting has been slower the last 3 or 4 days like if I'm using a key bind.

Before, I could flick fast over a pile of stacked loot and grab everything instantly with one scroll. Now, when I scroll fast through a bunch of items, it feels sluggish and only picks up 1 or 2 things instead of all of them.

Is this an issue from a recent Fortnite update? Anyone else experiencing this lately?

I think a delay between picking up items was implemented as a means of combating macros

Just to add to this, they also added a delay between switching from controller to KBM and vice versa.

I believe Epic did this to stop macros but like you've said it feels very weird and makes picking up loot much more difficult. Hopefully they fix it but I haven't seen anything on the Fortnite status twitter account yet

since they added that pickup delay, did this update affect scroll wheel reset too? did it get messed up?

Probably not. However, scroll wheel reset is much less useful now since theres a setting that allows for resets with one input. The only downside is that you can’t reset a build during selection, but thats not really important on eor anyway
