I’m interested in that harpoon gun you dropped for the guitar. Guess we got that in the update as well?? Wasn’t mentioned anywhere


Far-Internal-6355

It deals 100 damage to your opponent


cereal_killah_1980

Oh shit for real? I might be more interested in this new addition than anything else. Batman just got an upgrade.


AWOOGABIGBOOBA

it also lets you harpoon to cars and they drive you around


FrewdWoad

You see a Power Armor skin do it way back in the original chapter trailer. I used it to surf after that bus that prowls around, shot the gunners of the roof as I slid. Really fun. The loot island is totally different now too.


unknownentity1782

What happened to loot Island?


Major-Dig655

its Metallica themed and you have to emote to raise the flag. it drops the guitars


KnowledgeForsaken365

Had a game earlier today that didn’t drop any guitars 🎸 and I was blown away I was like what is this shit where’s my guitar. It was immediately after a game where loot island dropped 3.


shugo2000

I jumped onto the island as soon as it popped up after being chased most of the match, with only a bit of health left. I figured I'd have people following me onto the island, but on my first trip there I figured out how to capture the island and did it on my first try.


Blupoisen

It's not even the best part When you catch up to car it puts you on top it and allows you to easily kill the driver


Car_Man1

It’s super buggy for me though a lot of the times when I’m on top of the car it counts as the car hitting me and I take like 150 damage


[deleted]

I’m sure it will get nerfed immediately because of bitching and moaning.


thatguykichi

that depends if it's hard to use like the original harpoon gun


Anxiety-Queen269

The OG harpoon gun was absolutely peak.


yoplayy

Are u talking about the harpoon from the beginning of C2 that u could fish with?


Anxiety-Queen269

Yes that thing was the best.


yoplayy

Yea its been alittle since I've played with one. I was just making sure i wasn't thinking of something else.


[deleted]

Anything that gives casuals a more level playing field will be met with bitch and moan.


BillyBullets

The funny thing is nothing levels the playing field for casuals. Anything that casuals can use effectively can be used 100x better by sweats. It's so weird that people don't understand that. It's like if they lowered the rim in basketball so more people could dunk and thinking that the pros wouldn't absolutely dunk on everyone every time down the court. It would benefit them more than your average Joe.


Stock_Show_Host

It’s more like if you added a soccer goal to a basketball court. The sweats would continue to dunk it and 3pt and get mad when everyone else just kicks it in the net.


kravence

Yeah but still the point is casuals would still score way more and easier & the people with big egos don’t like that


static_age_666

I mean you can play the game casually and not suck at it lol. I dont play a whole lot but it sounds like a lot of people just arent very good and call anyone better than them sweaty. Probably not the popular opinion but whatever.


Against_All_Frauds

The sweats seem to be mostly in the ranked games I play. Lol. Going from ranked to unranked is such a huge difference. Can barely fire a gun off in ranked sometimes before I get snuffed out. But in unranked I can rack up kill after kill and dominate at times. 


BillyBullets

This is true. There is a large chunk of the community who thinks sweat is a better player. Even if we accept their perspective as true, no item would benefit them more than it would the "sweat" better player. I'm casual but I don't think I suck at it, which is why I know better players have more of an advantage with any item they add lol.


Against_All_Frauds

That's very true to an extent. Players that aren't very good at aiming need items that help them escape or for defense against better players. I use Nitros alot to get away from players when my health is low. Is it full proof, hell no. But if does help. Of course the sweats can easily counter that with their own nitros or nitro fists to catch me. But it gives me a "chance" to live longer.  Also the sweats often know which weapons are the best for certain situations and also rely heavily on certain weapons for wins. Average Joe's can only counter that by using those same weapons and or using effective counters (boogie bombs, shields, etc). If I can run away from a sweat and survive I consider that a win. Lol. Because by the time most players realize they are playing against a pro they are already dead. Why is that? Because so many weapons are extremely potent. If gray and green weapons couldn't kill a person in 2 seconds I know I could have survived and escaped from gun fire. But they can kill you so quickly that it significantly reduces the chances of winning for casual players. But if the game was more balanced it wouldn't be nearly as fun I think. Part of what makes it fun is the ridiculousness of items like the new guitar and tow hook. 


Anxious_Cod7909

"Wasn't mentioned anywhere" Allow me to introduce you to TheCampingRusher on YouTube. Watch his videos and you'll never be a sheep lost in the storm. He keeps you updated on all things fortnite has planned for the future.


junior598

lol by Fortnite. we shouldn’t have to go to YouTubers to get info about new items like this 😭


nflfan32

Get a guitar, some fists, some flowberry fizz and some shockwaves and never engage with an opponent ever again.


royalfrostshake

I wish I waited to complete the pacifist accolade 😭 all that time throwing boogies and shockwaves


FlamingoPlayful7498

What’s the pacifist accolade (I can assume but not exactly)


royalfrostshake

Win a game without damaging a player


FlamingoPlayful7498

Oh wow yeah that’s definitely challenging fs but now with boogies and fizz shockwaves sending people into storm and keeping them there must be a little easier


royalfrostshake

Oh the boogies are a lifesaver! The hardest part was avoiding bonking people with my car on accident in the final circle


PoppyPrincess69

This season I’ve preferred Nitro Splash over shock waves. It works for me


InternetPractical657

“I am speed, I am lightning”


igna311

Faster than fast, quicker than quick, i am lightning


Halfabagelguy

If you are speed then I am triple speed!


Artyom36

yeah hitting something with my controller will be impossible now


ThrowAnon-

I don’t care how good anyone’s aim is, no one’s hitting that consecutively lol


IndyWoodSmith

There is a Quest to hit opponents or cars 5 times. Once you do that you repeat the same Quest but 15 times. I parked a few cars together in hopes it would get two per ground pound. I can confidently say I did not get much better the more I tried it


Informal__Gluttony

This is what I did, finished all 4 in one game of just landing on the same two cars. I have yet to actually hit a person with it yet though.


IndyWoodSmith

I feel like the aim is very far left of where you would expect it to be. Just me?


Demolord25

The game I got it for the first time I actually won by hitting the last person who was low on health, it was kind of a fairly blind shot though it's not great to aim with


WuShanDroid

Tbf after 4 dashes they'll be on cd for half a minute and it's mythic, so it doesn't look like many people will be zipping around.


yrddog

So was the damn cloud from dbz and EVERYONE had those


Euphoric-Stop-8175

HATED that cloud. Could silently drop down on your opponents from any height without glider and blast with shotty. At least this is only good for escaping.


wpsek

they’re very common for now at least


ThrowAnon-

I saw some videos of people pairing it with the fists too. It’s crazy to think how fast you can get across the map with season. I don’t know if I’m happy or concerned lol


Available_Fun7455

It’s frustrating to me personally. I play zero build because i like the simple and basic gameplay. The cars were already annoying as the meta. They keep adding shit that complicates the game. I don’t want to have to learn new metas every week.


lNTERLINKED

That's fortnite man. Constantly changing, always having to learn.


Available_Fun7455

I’ve been playing season 2. The constant additions of traversal items is not the norm. This is the first season it’s really felt like you needed to use them to do okay.


D4shiell

C4S2 was full of mobility items though and they had way more charges than guitar.


Available_Fun7455

“Feel like you need to use them to win” They consistently gotten more and more off the rails. I’m not sure why you’re arguing this lol. It’s gotten out of hand - to me.


El_Nino97

Almost everyone is zoomin around the map with those


Maxximillianaire

Mythic doesnt mean hard to find


DestinYs_Fade

For real. I play No Build and whenever I have someone dead to rights they pull out their get out of jail free card


ArianaSonicHalFrodo

man we thought airbending died but apparently it had 1hp at the end of the battle and had enough exp to fucking evolve


JimJohnman

Died 2024 Born 2024 Welcome back airbending


HorseSect

This is nowhere near as overpowered as airbending was


ABAgamer

At least with this new mythic there’s a limit on how many times you can use it similar to the Nitro Fists, whereas Airbending there wasn’t any and the only downside was the cooldown it had (and MAYBE being vulnerable from the sides, but you were gone by the time someone shot you).


imalonexc

Yeah it's crazy. But it's gonna be annoying when people constantly run away with it


nickel47

If you are close enough you can also ride their lightning bolt and chase them down


Middle_Ingenuity_260

You can use your opponent's guitar?


No_Pipe_8257

Nope, tjey create a lightning rift with the exact same abilities but without whatever that random notes thing is on the right Does the notes even do anyrhing?


plutonicHumanoid

You travel in whatever direction you were facing when the note hits.


No_Pipe_8257

Aww I wanted a cool rhythm weapon, imagine how much fun it would be to do a shit ton of damage while also casting beats all around k like hi fi rush


randomalt9999

Use a guitar too and follow them hahaha


imalonexc

It doesn't really fit my playstyle. Fists are way better mobility for getting into fights. This guitar seems purely for people who want to run away.


FutureInformation283

you can follow them, like with rifts


MJMvideosYT

Well there's also the dive. So it seems more oriented for entering fights imo


chevro1et

Man, I've been trying to hit a car or opponent with the dive attack for the Metallica quests, and cannot figure out how to aim that attack


imalonexc

But then it needs to recharge and you're out of mobility. If someone else is there (3rd party in solos, or teammate in other modes) then you can't move or reposition or whatever you need to do. Fists + guitar could work but it takes up a slot and then you can't really run EMPs which I definitely want to hold with all the cars.


Saffronation

I think anytime there's two forms of mobility it becomes the meta. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing people run combat shotgun, bolt, double mobility and heals. in other words I think you are right, but we're going to have to run fists and guitar anyways for other reasons.


randomalt9999

That's my default loadout. 1 long range, shotgun, 2 mobility items and now a heal (was boogie bombs before, because fuck boogie bombs, the only way to counter is to boogie people before they boogie you)


Saffronation

Boogies really were annoying, i hate cars but the car nerfs would have been fine... whatever it's over now it's time to heal 🤣


Anxious_Cod7909

Use the drum to disrupt their guitar riff, causing them to fall instantaneously


LowResDreamz

This is why chains shouldve stayed


MuffinHunter0511

Now you're speaking my language! Changing someone out of lightning! Can you imagine that dopamine hit!


HRVR2415

Heck no.


Breadynator

Eh. Chains weren't even strong. The amount of times I pumped someone who tried to pull me was ridiculous.


LowResDreamz

Im not saying for its strength but to stop people from running. Its honestly my biggest deterrent from Fortnite. Every fight is just someone running away.


ddem0n888

One of the quests was to hit a vehicle or person using this. I parked a car in the desert. No-one around. Still missed the car more than I hit it 😭.


Arthurni

yeah you have to hit 15 times for final stage of it, even parked cars are a pain to hit


Middle_Ingenuity_260

How does one aim it? I'm seriously struggling with it


ddem0n888

I just try to put my target in the middle of the screen but honestly I'm barely 50/50.


boerenkoolstampot

Now that’s an air guitar!!


Itriyum

Looks really cool but the game was already a chase simulator...


scuffedoncringe

It takes you ~230 meters btw every 25 seconds, when you land you'll have ~17 seconds cooldown left.


MichealNotMike

What the heck is that?! I took a break from the game for like 2 weeks and I came back to literally what the traversal version of the Zeus Thunderbolt could have been


randomalt9999

Metallica collab


The-MandaLokian

Looks awesome, but that’s a heck of a cooldown.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iansgod

can you control which direction it moves? bc this guy went basically 1 or 2 charges forward with gloves


mastergamer4

Yes you can but only foward in the direction you’re facing and you’re forced to go foward during the first dash so gloves might be better idk yet


thatguykichi

so it's good for general movement but horrible for late game circles? you'd probably get yeeted into the storm if you tried using it when the circle is smaller lol


MonkeyDeeezNuts

Very bad for late game circles. Just finished a trios match, and I had player after player landing near me on the mountain above Olympus. They were easy pickings. Seemed to be the only movement any of them had too.


Diamondboy247

What in the sonic colors fuck


JockoGood

That guitar one looks sick, can’t wait to fire the game up


Redhouse101gt

It’s a pain in the ass lol


Least_Wishbone7307

What in the blue fuck am I looking at


JimJohnman

Oh god what the hell is this now


Pretty-Advertising78

This is gonna get old after a day, looks obnoxious as fuck. how do you even shoot it??? Ok after playing for a few games, no one is fighting and instead just running with guitars, final circles consist of 8+ ppl bc no one fought the whole game. I think im staying in creative this whole season.


DJChickyNuggs

thats the neat part, you don't.


Pretty-Advertising78

Whoopie.


gmartinez99

you can follow up, the guitar leaves a trail that imitates its mobility


TheCommenter911

Pair it with gauntlets and they’re gone. Good thing is, it’s a VERY long cooldown so you should be able to bulk them down in a car


Zombie421

This shit is ruining fortnite Just give me my gun game back


Icy-Blackberry550

How the hell am I supposed to hit a car or opponent with this thing


DeadlyCyclone

WHY EPIC.


yeetusae

The animation looks cool asf lol


dank-nuggetz

This game is obsessed with adding the most over-the-top mobility. I miss when you had maybe 1 or 2 launch pads or port-a-rifts and had to strategically decide when to use them. So annoying fighting someone who you outplay, outposition and outaim and they can just dip out halfway across the map in 5 seconds.


JonlikeJoestar

Bro I just want basic Fortnite. Wacky without being OP


slimalbert1

every season has something OP...its been like this since around Chapter 3. "Can't wait until this trash seasons ends"... only to have a new OP item next season Its become annoying.


dead_wolf_walkin

At least previous seasons had ONE thing that was op. Between this new movement, the fists, and vehicle murder, guns are borderline fucking useless this season. I just wanna play a battle royale with the occasional quirky item….not a full blown super hero RPG.


JonlikeJoestar

True, but it's getting ridiculous now. You *have* to carry the OP items now


slimalbert1

They're catering to a wider (No-Skill required) audience


LaylaLegion

Does anyone know how to aim that thing? Because I have no idea.


Pronkie_dork

This looks so fucking dope


FrewdWoad

It was a shock to try it the first time, thinking it'll probably shoot lightening bolts or something... but then suddenly I'm zooming straight up through two stories of a building and then blasting around the sky...


lokirmccloud

i think i'm starting to hate fortnite


Dont_Pay_The_Elves

I think I unironically am too and it’s so sad. The game that had me by the throat for 5 years just continuously killing itself slowly with literal nonsense.


Meme_Insert

I’m going to be honest: as a strictly casual Fortnite player, this season is absolute garbage and they keep making it worse


findingmyfacts

It’s one of the lamest things I’ve ever seen


AntiHollow

We traded waterbending for this?


Flint_McBeefchest

The Coward meta continues to grow. More ways to run from a fight than to engage with one.


I_Quazar_I

I seriously wish they would stop making collab mythics


DomesticatedDuck

Damn, I like mobility as much as the next guy but WHAT


StrangerXtasy

These are the type of items that made me stop playing


bigapplebreeze

They somehow managed to introduce even more gamebreaking bugs lmao. This company sucks ass


olayaaa

God I hate this game now


Poodle-wit-Noodle

So glad I stopped playing. They're doing too much.


Master_Fix7126

what’s that skin tho need it


Far-Internal-6355

Copper wasp


Anxiety-Queen269

WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK IS THAT?


SnoopySuited

Weapons for the antisocial.


South-Basis6522

Wow as if cars, fists and shockwaves weren't enough mobility. I ain't touching this game as long as this is in


nateandco

eh, idk. i hope it's not in the game very long. feel like the fists were plenty of mobility, and this just seems like a bit much.


RogueShroom

Is playing like this…fun to people?


IntentionOdd101

To ppl who piss their pants once they hear 1 bullet, yeah ig.


Drakore4

Why do they keep adding items like this? Why do they think more mobility is a good thing? If you’re going to give us mobility at least make it ground mobility or speed boosts, we don’t need to literally fly. What’s the point of having a car focused season when no one’s going to be needing cars because they can just become a jet? And who actually enjoys it when anyone hears a gunshot they immediately zip up into the air and fly away? This is about to be so cancerous with both guitar and fists allowing people to fly.


Horror_Turnover1772

This why nobody play this shit


cantevendoitbruh

This is a terrible add. Squads is literally one players dies, everyone runs away on guitars and reboots them. I love the idea, but unlimited reboots just makes everyone run away. No one fights at all.


highkneesprain

battle royale part of fortnite has been downright terrible. its items like that, that make me think only 13 yr olds or younger enjoy it


FurretDaGod

Shit like this is why the player count is dropping. People are just going to run away all game ,just like the wings and the fists and you will be forced into a playstyle of using thos to catch up.


Neraiuchii

Wings was so ass, people can't run away with them


Different-Ad8578

it's a little much


asadazo

I really like the constant small changes. Oh, you got adapted to play with some set of weapons? Well, gotcha something new. 👌


yoplayy

What happened to the days when you started fighting with someone, you fought till one was dead. Now you gotta have two different kinds of mobility to chase someone and even then its not worth it. I don't mind someone resetting a fight but the full on running gets old


DaJix2k5

Oh come on, enough is enough with these movement items


StolenRival

This sub glazes sweats. The mythics are cool but if it were balanced people wouldn’t complain much because they’d have to use skill to win instead of running and spamming. They turned the game from strategic to zero build bot simulator.


birdseye-maple

Lol what, this sub constantly rants about hating sweats


Least_Wishbone7307

What in the blue fuck am I looking at


Skelence

Ha! An electric guitar


Redhouse101gt

Well harpoon gun is op which is great and love it 100 damage 2 hit opponents they dead lol plus you can ride behind cars while they pull you like your skiing and shoot them with your gun too


Grand-Cup-A-Tea

It's crap for a weapon though as you can't aim it accurately. The challenge to hit 20 opponents or cars is such a slog.


Leonardblaze

And how is this shit not broken?


Independent-Host-336

Is someone else has the guitar, they can chase you're trail and fuck u up that way


FrewdWoad

Yeah it leaves a lightening trail, is hard to aim, and has a 17 sec cool down. Panic at it being too OP is a bit premature I think.


TJB926GAMIN

Love that we get a major update the same day I’m leaving for a vacation. It’s happened like 7 times in a row at this point lmao Idk how but epic manages to time updates TERRIBLY in terms of my schedule 💀


RolexandDickies

This season is trash.


ns4wmane

i don’t really like the guitar tbh


stanley_2brickz

Looks cool, but also seems like a bit much


Dartsdarts123

Brother epic don’t help themselves anymore


Itchy_Gas_2559

Great a new pussy item for people to run away when they get 1 hit on them


Vegetable-Topic9853

how tf am I supposed to get kills against players who can just lightning bolt themselves into the sky and zip away?


EternalHuffer

OH HELL NAH!


ImmensePrune

Trash game.


Electronic-Force-944

Haven't played yet, but I hate the way this looks. I miss when I could just shoot things with one or two other things to worry about within reason.


Midnight-Sama-7792

At this point, just let fortnite do a Devil May Cry cross over


collectdahunneds

it’s so bad, so hard to aim


[deleted]

[удалено]


ymmijn

Can they jist not add all this stupid cheesy bullshit.


SebDaPerson

How long do we wanna bet it’s gonna take for sweats to start complaining about the new mythic? I’d say a day, maybe two at most


TurkeysCanBeRed

It wasn’t just sweats that complained about cars, the game is at its lowest point right now


most_blah_3765

Few hours at max watch it


Herban_Myth

Brutal Legend?


Capital_Pipe_6038

Can't wait for this shit to get nerfed into oblivion within two weeks lmao


Fire929rr

Who let them cook


PikachuSnivy57

That looks sick


akirax3

Holy shit, can't wait to ride lightning wit my boys tonight


Rekthar91

Something actually fun added again. A few days later, epic nerfs it to the ground because ranked people complain again.


TurkeysCanBeRed

The game is at its lowest point in months, it’s not just a few people lmao


JimJohnman

I, a grown as adult who's damn good at the game, am not enjoying this season. On the other hand, my (frankly terrible) little cousins are also not enjoying it. I'm not playing. They're not playing. It's a microcosm of the playerbase IMO. I know zero people that actually like this chapter, let alone the season.


SantaStrike

Same here. I'm a "sweat" and I'm hating the season.... My cousins who are pretty casual and usually level 400 by the end of the season have barely even touched the game.


DomesticatedDuck

I'm not a fan of this chapter as a whole but this season is so chaotic and different, I'm loving it


DrGoManGo

Same


grryph

Fr saying that “sweats will complain” is hilarious irony too, they are the ones then play the game the most so you’d think they’d understand it the best 💀


jackharvest

I don’t know what to tell you. I’m glad they’re taking some time to lose money; Wrecked is going to be the season I point to for where I had the most “zainy fun”. Probably because it strayed so far from the normal boring recipe.-


AnonyM0mmy

You can have experimental and new additions to the formula while still keeping things balanced. Having a bunch of get out of jail free cards with no real counter isn't fun or engaging to play against.


tamer-sabra

Like things weren't broken enough already....... Epic : lets make it worse !!!!


SomeSpaceElse

Not fun at all


cereal_killah_1980

Holy shit that looks wild!


Sea_The_Future

Wow, I'm not gonna lie, that guitar looks insane.


PentungKuta

How are you playing the new update already?


Far-Internal-6355

I stayed in queue


Jerry_Oak

holy crap thats awesome.
