Fortnite Chapter 2: Remix has been going for a few days now, bringing the likes of Snoop, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD to the island. They’ve come in various different ways, such as via NPCs that you can hire to help you out in a fight. Well, that’s what they’re supposed to do, but as players have been quickly finding out over the past few days, NPCs like Ice Spice and Snoop can actually hinder your efforts to get a Victory Royale.
Ice Spice has undoubtedly been one of the worst offenders in recent days, as several clips have surfaced online of the rapper fully derailing games with very unfortunate ice grenades. There are two very high-profile examples floating around at the moment, which were shared on the Fortnite subreddit by users RaymondVester and Reeves_Wilmoth.
Fortnite Fans Hate Chapter 2: Remix’s Snoop And Ice Spice NPCs
RaymondVester’s example of Ice Spice’s backstabbing ways can be seen above, as she throws an ince grenade two feet in front of her while behind the player, which throws them off their high platform and to their death via fall damage. Reeves_Wilmoth shared a similar clip a few days ago too, which sees them at the top of a tower with a sniper rifle, only for Ice Spice to blow them to their deaths with another random ice grenade.

It was such a widespread issue that Epic Games has had to temporarily disable Ice Spice’s ability to throw ice grenades while they work on a fix, but even then, players seem to still hate her for a number of reasons. For example, a user called AboutAverage404 hates Ice Spice for her inability to actually hit you with her splashes, while they also hate that she walks everywhere too, calling her an “absolute F tier NPC”.
It’s not just Ice Spice catching heat too, as fellow rappers Snoop and Eminem have been causing bother too. According to a user on ReevesWilmoth’s post called Specialist_Injury_68, Snoop has been regularly killing himself with his own bombs, while a lot of people are also getting annoyed at Eminem accidentally blowing up cars and killing full squads. Epic clearly decided to model the AI after how these guys would actually play Fortnite in real life.
Starting life as a tower defense game, Fortnite has become one of the biggest video games out there. Its battle royale mode dominates popular culture, featuring concerts by megastar musicians and crossovers with just about every brand imaginable, from Marvel to the NFL.
