"I think it's better than the old one": Fortnite community is divided over Chapter 5 Season 3 Weapon Mod Bench UI changes

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has brought with it a variety of changes, with the v30.00 update altering things to usher in the post-apocalyptic wasteland saga of the game, bringing in powerful weapons and vehicles. However, the changes made to the game are not limited to the items and cars that players can acquire as they also extend to more obscure changes, especially the Weapon Mod Benches.

While the functionality of the Weapon Mod Benches is still intact and working as well as ever before, Epic Games has streamlined the UI (User Interface) for the Mod Benches and changed its colors to go with the overall theme of Chapter 5 Season 3. The change has been quite divisive among players as highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/joethegamer100, where the player expressed their dissatisfaction with the new Weapon Mod Bench UI design.

The Reddit post became a hub for players to express their own opinions about the new UI, with Reddit user u/Craft-Sea coming to the Weapon Mod Bench UI design's defense and stating:

Other members of the community also chimed in, with u/ArianaSonicHalFrodo expressing their frustration with the changes, highlighting how no one asked for the modifications. They also brought up the recent controversial Locker UI changes in the v29.20 update, pointing out how there have been no improvements in that section of the game.

Meanwhile, u/Chance-Order-5385 reinforced u/Craft-Sea's point about the new Weapon Mod Bench UI being an improvement on the one seen in previous seasons. Reddit user FrogSalesmann, on the other hand, provided an interesting theory about the new UI design's use of empty space, suggesting that Epic Games may be working on new Weapon Mods for the game.

Expressing how they think that the constant UI changes by Epic Games are unnecessary, Reddit user u/HypixL commented:

"When I'm in a Useless Changes Competition and my opponent is the Epic UI Department"
