Fortnite: The Mandalorian gets nerfed

Fortnite: The Mandalorian gets nerfed

The Mandalorian is one of the many NPCs introduced in Fortnite Season 5. The bounty hunter has proved to be a powerful character — even warranting a further nerf after player complaints.

Fortnite: The Mandalorian gets nerfed

Straight out of the Star Wars universe, the Mandalorian is undeniably one of the more iconic figures in the Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass.

At the center of this season's 'bounty hunter' theme, he has already been the focus of several quests. He even received his own temporary game mode, Mando's Bounty.

Deemed too powerful by the community, Epic Games has listened and taken action to nerf Mando.

A player recently posted a video on Reddit in which he was killed in the LTM by the Mandalorian before he could even land on the map. 

While it's common to get sniped by enemies who have landed earlier, the fact that this is an NPC is much more of a problem. This implies that an AI can ruin your game before it has even started.

Although it is not particularly powerful at close range, Mando's Amban Sniper Rifle clearly has an advantage from a distance. Note that you can get this weapon and a jetpack by killing Mando.
