Players able to trap the llama by building walls around it remove many of the issues they’d otherwise face, making the loot far easier to obtain as long as you have the patience to sneak up on it. If you are able to bust open the llama, the rewards can genuinely be what you need to get back into the game - especially if you’ve just come from a firefight that’s depleted a lot of your resources. Now let's balance this argument a little. Warzone players out there who played during the Festive Fervor event will be well aware of the noise problem, as Krampus often was a death sentence for his victims (especially in solos). But with all those downsides, it’s easy to see why some out there would be dissuaded from approaching them. On the surface, making the Loot Llama an actual challenge to open is a great idea. For some, breaking open the llama before it escapes is too annoying a task to take on, the ammo cost in doing so makes the rewards not worth it, and the noise a player makes in the process often leads to giving away their position. Reddit user Corbinmar’s post on the Fortnite subreddit summarises many of the major issues people have with the current llamas. Now, with Fortnite in its third Chapter, an argument is being made for the old Llamas to come back. The change to the Loot Llama came with the alien invasion all the way back in Chapter 2 Season 7, and as you can imagine made it much more of a task to pillage the spoils of loot they provide.
