Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has brought with it a variety of new items. Some of these items have been met with great enthusiasm from the community, such as the Cybertron Cannon from the Transformers crossover. However, not all of the new items have been received well by players.
One item in particular has been deemed useless by Fortnite players unanimously: the wasps. These new throwable items were introduced in Season 3 and are meant to fit the Wilds theme. However, according to Top5Gaming, a prominent Fortnite YouTuber, the wasps are not a very good item. They only do eight damage and barely follow players. When thrown at an enemy, they may cause mild annoyance, but they do not do much damage.
Unlike their predecessors, the fireflies, the new wasps do not have any effect on builds. When thrown at someone, the wasps simply fly around them and do nothing to their structures. This means that players can easily avoid the wasps by leaving the area. It seems that Epic Games tried something different with this item, but it did not work out as intended.
Top5Gaming compared the wasps to other useless items in Fortnite’s history. For example, bottle rockets had poor aim and did very little damage, causing hardly anyone in the community to use them. The throwable upgrade bench was a good idea in theory, but players rarely wasted an inventory slot on it. Alien nanites created a unique area on the map, but players never knew if they would help or hinder them in a given situation. Mythic Jump Boots were difficult to obtain and were not particularly useful.
While Epic Games has introduced many stellar items over the years, such as the beloved Mythics and various throwable items, the wasp jars do not seem to be among them. Unless the wasps are patched and buffed, they are unlikely to be missed by the community. However, considering the theme of Season 3, it is unlikely that they will be removed from the game anytime soon.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has been well-received by fans overall. The collaboration with Transformers has been a success, and the battle pass has been praised for its quality. The only minor hiccup seems to be the inclusion of the wasp jars, which have been unanimously deemed useless by players.
In conclusion, the wasp jars introduced in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 have been unanimously agreed upon by players as the most useless item in the game. They only do eight damage and barely follow players, and they do not have any effect on builds. While Epic Games has introduced many stellar items in the past, the wasp jars do not seem to be among them. Unless they are patched and buffed, they are unlikely to be missed by the community.
