Fortnite’s New Quest UI Is Unpopular With Fans
Some fans have found the new design to be useful, as finding quests for different game modes once required switching to those modes within the game’s lobby. This was a point of frustration for players who wished to view various quests for modes like Reload andFortnite OGin the popular battle royale.
The biggest issue many fans seem to have is with its implementation in matches themselves. Players have noted that, while in the middle of a game, time is of the essence. The new UI system requires players to spend more time within the menus to locate a quest, which some claim has led to them being eliminated prematurely. Gamers expressed that this issue has come up multiple times while completingFortnite’s new Godzilla quests.
