“Genuinely hate how overloaded these things are”: Community divided over Nitro Fists in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has been rather contentious, with Epic Games implementing a ton of new mechanics and items to spice up the gameplay in the post-apocalyptic saga of the title. Among these additions are Nitro Fists, a powerful melee weapon brought to the Island by Megalo Don. However, since the launch of Chapter 5 Season 3, Nitro Fists have been a point of debate for many players.

This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/PresYapper4294, who emphasized how important Nitro Fists are in Chapter 5 Season 3 due to their mobility.

The Reddit post became a hub of discussion regarding Nitro Fists in Chapter 5 Season 3, with u/Chrisshern expressing their contempt for the weapon, especially when used in conjunction with the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic:

Other members of the community took to the comments to chime in on the discussion. u/918to303 pointed out how the existence of Nitro Fists in Fortnite has led to more players running away from combat and how the only way to deal with them is by having a strong aim.

u/Jimbobthon, while pointing out the overpowered nature of Nitro Fists and the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic, said it is possible to win without either.

Meanwhile, u/Alesanafan4 expressed how they cannot wait for Chapter 5 Season 3 to end so they can say goodbye to Nitro Fists.

u/DangerNoodle695, on the other hand, conveyed how having items like Nitro Fists that are almost necessary during a season takes the fun away from the game.

Despite their contentious nature, Nitro Fists are one of the most powerful and useful items in Chapter 5 Season 3. Luckily for players, they are quite easy to come by; they can be found in chests and in floor loot.

However, if you truly want a powerful version of this item, you can make your way to the Megalo Don Boss NPC to beat him and get Mythic Nitro Fists.
