Fortnite Players Aren’t Happy With Chapter 5 Season 2’s POIs

Some Fortnite players are struggling to enjoy the Points of Interest in Chapter 5 Season 2, and they're making their displeasure known online.

Of course, not all players shared this negative sentiment. Some voiced the opinion that having some areas of the map that attracted less attention made for a nice change of pace. Others emphasized
