Fortnite Fans Are Unhappy About Massive UI Change

Summary

  • Epic Games' Fortnite quest UI redesign has been met with significant player disapproval.
  • The new system separates quests into collapsible blocks and submenus, causing navigation frustration.
  • While new pickaxe options are appreciated, the time-consuming nature of the UI overhaul is a major concern.

Epic Games recently implemented a major user interface update in Fortnite, sparking considerable backlash from a large segment of the player base. This follows the conclusion of the Winterfest holiday event, which featured collaborations with celebrities like Shaq, Snoop Dogg, and Mariah Carey, and rewarded players with free cosmetics over 14 days.

Currently in Chapter 6 Season 1—a season generally well-received for its new map, revamped movement system, and additions like Ballistic, Fortnite OG, and LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life game modes—Fortnite's January 14th update introduced numerous changes, including a controversial quest UI redesign. Instead of a simple list, quests are now presented in large, collapsible blocks, leading to a multi-layered submenu system. While some players initially found the new UI visually appealing, many quickly expressed frustration with its cumbersome navigation.

Fortnite’s New Quest UI Faces Player Backlash

Although some players appreciate the new UI's ability to consolidate quests from different game modes (previously requiring mode switching in the lobby), a significant issue arises during gameplay. Players report that the time required to navigate the new menus in the heat of battle puts them at a severe disadvantage, leading to premature eliminations. This problem is particularly noted while completing the recent Godzilla quests.

Despite the negative reception to the UI changes, Epic Games' addition of Fortnite Festival instruments as usable pickaxes and back blings has been widely praised, offering players expanded cosmetic customization options. Despite this positive addition and the generally positive reception of Chapter 6 Season 1, the new quest UI remains a significant point of contention for many Fortnite players.
