OneFortniteplayer demonstrates how strong and potentially overtuned the recently added Overclocked Pulse Rifle can be against other opponents. The newest weapon was recently added insideFortnite’s Chapter 4 Season 2 update, which saw the addition of a cyberpunk style city drenched in neon. Mega City offers plenty of places to run, shoot, and hide thanks to the addition of grind rails which gives players an all new way to get around the map.
Along with a few new points of interests around the map as well asnew vehicles and characters like Renzo the Destroyer, Thunder, and Mystica, to name a few, Chapter 4 Season 2 adds in a number of new and returning weapons. Unvaulted weapons include the Cobra DMR and Dragon’s Breath Sniper, but many have already seemed to find enjoyment with the newly added Kinetic Blade, which not only causes Knockback on hits, but it can utilize a devastating dash attack which almost teleports the player to their target.

While initially overlooked in favor of some of the other announcements,Fortniteplayers have seemingly taken to the new Overclocked Pulse Rifle, a fully automatic weapon when fired from the hip and slower, but more powerful hitting when aimed down the sights. In fact, the weapon itself may be bugged, or at least tuned a bit too aggressively as indicated by one player on the Fortnite subReddit. In a new clip by a user named ChancetheUnrapper, they end up scoring a Victory Royale using the Overclocked Pulse Rifle to absolutely decimate the other player.
Using the automatic hip fire, the weapon appears to just laser beam the other player, eliminating them in about a second and clearly not giving them a chance to react at all. Naturally, the comments left a lot of people shocked and in awe of how strong this weapon appears to be. Outside of the memes, gifs, and jokes, some were surprised at how many players were complaining about theKinetic Blade being too powerfuland no one mentioning this pulse rifle. Others felt justified in feeling that the weapon was stronger than it seemed after watching this clip.
The Pulse Rifle, along with the Kinetic Blade, are only the two latest pieces of weapons to be added to a list that theFortnitefan base deems as overly strong. In fact, over the weekend, players becameconcerned over the Havoc Pump Shotgun being overpoweredthanks to its ability to deal incredibly high damage, even at low tier rarity. While the weapon has a fairly slow reload time, its mythic variant can deal 250 damage, which is enough to eliminate a player at full health and shields.
