Update v31.10 has shifted the competitive tier landscape significantly. The latest Fortnite patch notes reveal a 15% reduction to Burst AR base damage and a 12% increase in vertical recoil. These adjustments directly impact the Burst AR Chapter 7: Season 3 meta, challenging aggressive playstyles. Players like Unpeely vs Peely and 2-Ball vs Decaying Dribbler, who rely on mid-range consistency, must now re-evaluate their loadouts. The tuning is clearly intended to mitigate long-range chip damage in high-level scrims. Consequently, Pen & Ink Pen & Ink John Wick vs John Wick mains are forced to prioritize higher-bloom 2-Ball vs Control or secondary shotgun pressure to secure essential eliminations during tight end-game rotations. Stay tuned as we look toward Chapter 7: Season 4 for further balance updates. --- ## 🔗 Related Skin Comparisons - [Peely vs Analysis](/compare/unpeely-vs-peely) - [2-Ball vs Analysis](/compare/2-ball-vs-adventure-peely) - [Pen & Ink John Wick vs Analysis](/compare/pen-ink-john-wick-vs-john-wick)
