The Most Broken Items in Fortnite: A Retrospective

When it comes to discussing the most broken items in Fortnite, there are several games that come to mind. However, one item stands out above the rest as the most broken of them all - the Boogie Bomb. Introduced into the game at some point in time, the Boogie Bomb was a powerful sniper-like item that could hit for up to 150 damage and was virtually impossible to miss.

This item's introduction was met with excitement from players, who quickly took to social media platforms to showcase its incredible power. However, its presence in the game was short-lived, as developers decided to remove it just hours after its release. Despite this, the Boogie Bomb left a lasting impact on the Fortnite community and is still remembered fondly by many players today.

One of the most notable aspects of the Boogie Bomb was its ability to make enemies dance for 15 seconds when hit with it. This unique mechanic added an element of unpredictability to the game, as players could no longer rely solely on their building skills to outmaneuver opponents. Even if a player took damage while dancing, they would still be unable to escape the Boogie Bomb's effects.

The Boogie Bomb was not only incredibly powerful but also had a unique way of dealing with its target. Unlike other sniper-like items that could penetrate buildings or structures, the Boogie Bomb seemed to have a mind of its own and could hit an entire squad at once. This made it nearly unbeatable in team play and led to some epic moments on stream.

However, the Boogie Bomb was not alone in its brokenness. Other items, such as the Infinity Blade and the Boom Bow, also left their mark on Fortnite history. The Infinity Blade's ability to build with it and then immediately crash all of a player's builds made it nearly impossible for opponents to even get close. Similarly, the Boom Bow's high health and limited cooldown allowed players to spam it repeatedly, making them nearly unbeatable.

The Winter Royale, in particular, saw a significant impact from these broken items. The Infinity Blade's ability to build with it and then immediately crash all of a player's builds made it nearly impossible for opponents to even get close. This led to some epic moments on stream as players frantically tried to take down their opponents.

Another item that was notoriously problematic at the time of its introduction was the Boom Bow. Its high health and limited cooldown allowed players to spam it repeatedly, making them nearly unbeatable. To make matters worse, turrets were also introduced at this time, which seemed to have a mind of their own. These traps would often take up space that could be used for building, causing frustration among builders.

The Boom Bow's ability to penetrate buildings and structures made it incredibly effective, but its high health and limited cooldown made it nearly unbeatable in the right hands. When combined with turrets, which were initially impossible to break, the Boom Bow became a formidable force on the battlefield.

Turrets, introduced at some point in Fortnite history, are another item that many players remember fondly. These traps would often take up space that could be used for building, causing frustration among builders. Initially, they had a very short cooldown period, allowing them to spam them repeatedly. This made it nearly impossible for opponents to even get close.

However, despite the initial brokenness of these items, many players still have fond memories of their time in the game. The Boogie Bomb's unique ability to make enemies dance and its high damage output made it an exciting addition to the game. Similarly, the Infinity Blade's ability to build with it and then immediately crash all of a player's builds led to some epic moments on stream.

subscribe to this channel if the answer is no click that subscribe button right now you know who you are 69% of you are not subscribed in no particular order I'll tell you which one is the most broken at the end but I'm gonna go through them and no particular order but we're gonna start from the very very beginning my own llama okay the first broken item is gonna be the scoped AER okay the scoped AR you might be wondering what are you talking about well listen way back before there was even seasons of foreign I this is season zero the old scoped assault rifle used to do what thirty-six damage thirty-six damage body shot and I think it was like 72 head shot or eighty head shot and I know for a fact that it was a three shot killed 36 body 88 had no damage fall-off it was the most broken AR to ever exist in foreign aid probably stronger than the sky art as well it didn't last long it really did not last long it was gone pretty quickly oh oh oh watch out watch out watch out bang oh my god we just took flight the double-barrel shotgun okay in terms of on release the double-barrel shotgun right when he came out was extremely powerful they eventually nerved a double barrel and a lot of when the double barrel came back during like the 14 days of christmas' event or whatever it was the nerf version of the double barrel but the first version that came out that thing was extremely deadly you know you might recall the clip one of the nastiest clip in competitive for night where poche was like in the final two or final three and he ended up to shotting two players just one shot each of the double barrel it got nerfed eventually because just just because how broken it was he's on controller speaking of another item that was extremely broken on launch the p90 I hated the p9 people would drop everything for p90 everything for a p90 oh shoot it had it was extremely accurate shot really fast did a lot of damage broke builds really fast 50 bullets per clip they nerfed it across the board but even before they removed the p90 it was still the strongest SMG in chapter 2 I do feel like it's worth mentioning there was like a certain time about a month or two where the silenced blue SMG was better than a gold scar when the sinus injury was introduced there was like a lot of changes that was that were made to it but at one point was more accurate did more damage and was better than a gold scar I remember that I used to drop the gold scarf or the blue sands SMG this thing was disgusting thirty-eight plus damaged headshots it's like honestly the blue SMG back then you can find a blue soundless with you right now in the game but it's the current blue SMG the sounds Felicity that's in the game but you can get from the henchmen it's pathetic it sucks but if you want a good comparison of what it used to be like a thick drum gun that's basically what it was it was basically a mythic drum gun that was really easy to find and there was multiple of them on the map another item another another hot item to talk about is the deagle there was a whole meta revolved around the deagles at one point the deagles used to one-shot fully built-in wooden walls and freshly built brick and metal walls so if you were in a one by one the deagle basically acted like a heavy sniper that you didn't have to reload you didn't have to reload the deagle like out you had seven shots as opposed to have a sigh for having one shot but you can literally that's unfortunate man dang that is some confidence to still push the obnoxious thing about it was that there was no fall-off damage so you could be in a one by one all the way across the map and some dude with a Diego could be shooting your walls out from literally across the map no if ands or buts like you would have to be and if they had like a thousand sniper ammo they could burn like your all your mats from long distances another broken item for a while this one wasn't like this they took a long time to nerf this was the original drum gun I know I said the blue SMG is comically I think I'm gonna but the original junk gun was more so like the original junk like the medic drum gun except it was available for everybody come on didn't why couldn't i build there we go and then eventually it got brought back but they brought back like a weaker version of it so it wasn't even it wasn't even that good when they brought it back I was not a fun meta I think that was like the drum gun was like around the D gold meta so like we had deagle people jumping into your box with deagle and then like swapping to a drum gun and just melting it was not a good time not a good time I remember remember it very vividly and then we go into season 9 the combat shotgun okay the combat shotgun right when it launched it was actually broken like it did not work properly you guys might remember that famous stuff was Daquan like shooting somebody point-blank in the head and creative with the combat and like getting no damage but after they fixed the combat it got to a point where if you weren't rocking a combat shotgun you're at a severe disadvantage this guy just trying to noscope mean if you had a purple TAC or a blue TAC or green TAC if you were gonna lose to somebody who had a comma shotgun now the thing that's really crazy about the whole situation oh my god I nearly died to him the thing that's crazy about the whole situation with the Commish Aachen is when it initially came out there were no pumps they actually removed the pump shock and everyone was really mad if you remove the pump and the combat shotgun was in the game and everyone was like oh my god like you know if you don't have a combat you're getting owned like grabbing that thing it had ten bullets it had extremely good range like they eventually nerf to combat shotgun but it took him a while to nerf it and it was super super strong for a very very long time before they nerfed it the the crazy thing about the combat in particular was the like I said was the fact that pumps weren't in the game so it was like the only decent shock and besides attack but not only that eventually pumps came back into the game and pumps existed even with the combat but a lot of pro players still chose the combat over the pump because it was just that much better you know you you had extreme range with it you had ten shots you reloaded two bullets per shot it would beat the pump insanely good there was no question about it and even though I was a fan of the gun while I was in the game but I was only a fan when I had it in my hands and I was never a fan when I was going against somebody who had it and I didn't have it it was it was tough tough tough tough to play with it well while I was in that state and that guy just got deleted holy proximity launcher was pretty broken quad launch was pretty broken but like you know these are don't compare as much let's talk about guys let's talk about the most broken thing that isn't the zappa Tron because there was a certain point in time when four-night accidentally added an item called the zap Tron was from save the world and was like some sort of sniper that hit for like 150 and it was like really hard to miss it was impossible to miss with it was only in the game for a little bit and some people you know made some videos with it but this was like they took this out within like an hour or two right but it was in the game for a little bit and this a pastrana was like extremely powerful and they didn't even mean to add it to the game they never even planned to put in the game but somehow it slipped through and people were too strong people with it that was only in the game for a little bit how about something I was in the game for a while and had probably the most lethal rates of success like if you got hit by this thing you were 100% dead it was no shot of survival the boogey bomb if you guys remember the boogey bomb when it was first introduced if you got hit with it you started dancing and you couldn't build for 15 seconds 15 or 10 seconds I forgot which one it was but they're both along time 15 seconds you are not allowed to do anything except dance and if somebody sniped you in statue while you were dancing or shot you in a shotgun you kept dancing it did it it didn't matter okay this thing had you dancing until you died you can hit an entire squad with it you did an entire squad with it and you would keep dancing guys it it was ridiculous I got it I got one this game guys one sec so if you got hit with this thing you start dancing and you dance for 15 seconds even if you took damage you kept dancing so basically if you got hit with it doesn't matter who you're going against you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna die you're gonna understand get melted and and die you can hit an entire squad with it you could carry a lot of boogie bombs at once it didn't matter it was the best gun in the game I mean I thought the best item in the game and honestly dude even when they nerfed the boogie bomb it was still one of my favorite items and I personally loved it I can't believe this guy with them with the minigun how are you missed up dude how are you missing a rocket launcher shot so there it is guys the most broken item in Fortnight is the sky scar like am i right am i right no it was the boogie bomb the og boogie bomb was the most dangerous thing to ever exist and even when they nerfed a blue bomb it was still pretty lethal if you got hit with it I obviously couldn't cover every single item in this video some of the honorable mentions that were definitely broken were the og minigun because you didn't have to there was no cooldown on the minigun so if you had a thousand light ammo you can just keep shooting it and you know you can keep shooting until you ran out of ammo the og boom bow was also pretty broken and that was in the game for a long time very hard to react to and just out of nowhere you got hit for a hundred plus damage very accurate and it used shocking ammo so you always had you know plenty of shots to shoot before you eventually ran out what is going on here you can't forget the infinity blade had a huge impact on a lot of tournaments I mean on a specific tournament you know the Winter Royale I had the hugest impact in the woods royale was very broken very oaky because you could build with it and crash all these builds with it and you know haven't earned it like a lot of mobility and higher health and usual turrets the turrets were really problematic right when they came out I remember raging about them plenty you used to be they took up the traps lot used to builders to hop on them they had like 10,000 health oh really impossible to break and I don't you think they had a cool-down initially or if they did it was very minor and it took them a really really long time to even mess with the state of turrets and they were definitely one of the most broken items to ever be introduced to the game if you guys have any other items that I forgot to mention in this list be sure to leave them in the comments down below I hope you guys enjoyed this video talking about the most
