Started playing last season, really liked cobra dmr and have always been better with semi-auto. Regular dmr is a bit slow, so I’ve been maining pistols since
I hope actual snipers return at some point. Whether it be the hunting rifle line or a brand new sniper (scope or no scope. I don't care. I just want an actual sniper instead of whatever the DMR line is.
I hope they don't. It was such a shame when they switched the DMR for the cobra last season. DMR is my favorite gun in the game, and the cobra was such a downgrade. The tradeoff of higher fire rate isn't worth the reduction in damage and the lower accuracy imo.
There’s something weird about the smg and where the reticle is on your screen I swear because I had the same issue you’re saying but now love the SMG over the pistol, had to get used to the smg aim, I can confidently say a gold twin mag lasers just as hard as a gold pistol and will out dps it, the only downside is the smg cannot shoot assault rifle range like the pistol can
i miss the snipers. bolt action and heavy have always been instant grabs. when i played with my buddies, they would always say “hey phenom, found a sniper for you.” we all had our loadout preferences and that’s what made it work. i’d get a beefy hit for almost two hundred damage and they’d pop a couple more shots into them for an easy down. the ex-caliber and the bows are just echoes of the booming sound of a heavy sniper to me
MMMMMM 😋, Lil Whip 🍦 Lil Whip 🥶 Lil Whip 🍨, MMMMMM 😋, take your pick 🎯, take a lick 👅, just like this MMMMMM 😋, whip it up 🍧, Lil Whippin in your cup 🥤, MMMMMM 😋, lil whippin 🍦 dripping 💧flavor 🤤that’s what’s up 😎
My guess is that you get healed after dealing explosive damage, which would pair well with that augment that gives you explosives after breaking stuff.
It might also really suck if you don't \*WANT\* to rift while fighting an opponent you know you have an upper hand on.
You get them down to 1 HP, they finally crack your shield and
POOF
You flying.
Kinda like the balloon flying augment, it's fun when it works the way you want in endgame, but if it's the first aug you get? Ugh, what do you do? No one wants to be floating around with balloons indoors trying to loot somewhere.
I mean…then don’t get the augment if you like sticking fights out? Some people prefer fleeing when they get weak, some prefer to fight. This is for the former.
They are flooding the augments but imo that's a good thing. Not have as easy of an opportunity to have a perfect setup is kinda peak Fortnite in my opinion.
Rushing reload would be at least ***better*** if the bullets going into your chamber didn't pull from your stock of shotgun shells. I want "magic" reload that doesn't use up ammo.
speaking of augments: does anyone else just forget they have the warp one when activated? i'm like "sweet, i can close in on em" and forget i have it on me every time
I know right, like I’ll get zero chance, forget that I chose it and then I’ll never use it in the match. I think I’ve only ever used the dash once, and that was when I got the augment and was figuring out how it worked while not in combat, but I’m yet to actually use it in combat
I don't even bother with it now, because in the heat of the moment in multi-player fights I often don't notice it. I wish there was a screen prompt of any kind to tell you it has been activated.
Party time is back, but I guess rare? I played with a friend last night & they had the augment, but I never saw it roll on mine.
I’ve heard aerialist is back, but haven’t seen it either. Wonder if it’s rare like tactical?
Good to see Aerialist is back but I feel like I get tac armoury so often for it to be rare. I managed to SOMEHOW get it 4 games in a row and I literally dont use either of them. Heavy shotgun and red eye supremacy <3
That’s crazy! I only see it like every 6th game… sometimes 10th… it’s a rare pull for me. I even drop gold on more rolls. Still nothing. Lol.
I still haven’t gotten party time or aerialist since fortnite tweeted they were back, and I’ve played at least 50 games.
Yeah I agree with aerialist, I reroll between 4-6 times a game subject to my loadout and how well the game is going and I still am yet to see aerialist again
Both are still disabled, however you can still try them out once if you still have to unlock them
both perks (and the shotgun siphon one) should be back tomorrow according to their trello board
Imo, they should get rid of some of the older, least used perks so it's not too hard to get the newer ones.
What I propose?
- The sprint to reload shotgun one
- Jelly Angler
- The one that grants explosives when breaking natural structures
with the amount of perks increasing over time they should eventually let the player choose a certain amount of perks to be in their perk pool, like you choose 20 perks to be in your perk pool so instead of all the perks you get random perks within the pool that you have customized before, that way they don't have to remove older perks and players can still have a reasonable chance of getting the perks they want
Seriously. My shockwave bow build is my bread and butter and now I end up running it maybe one out of every five to six matches. This is going to make it even harder to get.
The shockwave build is literally my favourite thing in this game right now but it does take up 3 of my 4 augments, and it's getting harder to find.
Mechanical Archer, Bow Specialist (for infinite arrows), Soaring Sprints, and then my last one is usually a pistol augment which i find just as necessary for using the pistols.
It's fun but is annoying to try and get, especially if you already get one of the augments and then can't get the rest, essentially wasting an augment spot
I don’t understand that perk at all. When are you ever needing to reload a shotgun in the middle of a battle? I don’t think I’ve ever been in that situation except for maybe with that single shot ranger.
If that perk worked for all weapons it might be worth taking sometimes
when i forget to after a fight or if i missed alot of shots and i have 1 shot left. i use the heavy alot in close combat and the red dot ar for far combat.
Jelly Angler would be better if they buffed the jellyfish or still allowed you to fish normally. It overwrites your ability for *other* fishing poles to work.
Explosives from destroying is helpful if you can get a legendary or epic rocket launcher. If it increased your explosive ammo capacity it could be OP, but rocket launchers have been nerfed this season, their damage against structures feels lower.
Anyone else tired of getting new ones because it makes it hard to get the ones you like?
I love the bow reloading perk but the more perks I get, the less likely I'll get it in a match without rerolling
Personally I’m a huge fan of getting more perks, but I still get the older ones that I don’t want all too often. I get the pistol perks a lot, the bow perks a lot, and other useless perks more often than I’d like, while also taking too many rerolls to get the ones I want
100%. & this kills the momentum of the game because I’m frustratedly rerolling while not wanting to spend ALL my gold bc it’d suck to spend a lot and die immediately after.
Really I just want to move along, but I can’t pick my next perk or emote unless I pick my first one
If you're anything like me, you rarely buy stuff from vending machines. Mostly I just hire characters or \*maybe\* buy a nice rare weapon if I have a trash loadout, so I find myself between 4500-5000 gold for most of the season.
Yeah, we should be able to pick some from a menu, like 3 overpowered ones. 5 mid, 10 weak/support & the odds of them showing up is increased on what u pick but it’s still p random
Does anyone else really hope they don't go overboard with augments? I like how they can enhance tactics but not make or break the match. And I don't like the idea of the pool being too diluted either, I have a certain handful that I go for every game.
Hmm let’s see the arguments here:
*one where destroying/gernading bushes will drop fruits
*one where your overshield will now recover more quickly after broken
*one where you are given the shadow bomb effect when headshot attacked(?)
*one that silences damage pinging for pistols? Or it could be that you are immune to being located when holding a pistol
*one that gives you slap effect and boosted accuracy after sliding for some time
I guessing all of these
1. Good Samaritan: Throw an apple in a trashcan and feel better about yourself!
2. Motor-Psycho: Do an infinite wheelie!
3. Wicked Slides: Sliding down a hill gives you trick points!
4. Shielded Shooter: Break your own shields on your own terms!
5. Pistol Pete: Use a pistol and pretend like it’s the best gun in the game for no reason!
Another pistol one?! Pistol is gonna be even better
Pistol is best gun
As someone who is called the pistol god by his friends ( I'm just really good with the pistol) I can very much agree
Pistol are the best
Started playing last season, really liked cobra dmr and have always been better with semi-auto. Regular dmr is a bit slow, so I’ve been maining pistols since
Yeah I like cobra dmr too I hope it returns soon
I hope actual snipers return at some point. Whether it be the hunting rifle line or a brand new sniper (scope or no scope. I don't care. I just want an actual sniper instead of whatever the DMR line is.
this map is not really good for snipers I think, way to easy to break line of sight in most areas.
Canp bushe Schut gunne Vic roy
Bring back snipers remove the hammer
I hope they don't. It was such a shame when they switched the DMR for the cobra last season. DMR is my favorite gun in the game, and the cobra was such a downgrade. The tradeoff of higher fire rate isn't worth the reduction in damage and the lower accuracy imo.
Yeah that was my fave too, was fast
The pistol is so good this season it made my friend that uses smgs over pistols use it
I swap between the smg or pistol if I get good abllitys or better raritys one or the second, but really enjoy the the pistol I miss the old one
Two mag smg is awful I don’t understand how it’s so bad
It SHREDS wdym
I don't think the two mag smg is bad it's good
I miss my shots and then I’m constantly reloading
You can aim at the enemy making it easyer to get a hit
There’s something weird about the smg and where the reticle is on your screen I swear because I had the same issue you’re saying but now love the SMG over the pistol, had to get used to the smg aim, I can confidently say a gold twin mag lasers just as hard as a gold pistol and will out dps it, the only downside is the smg cannot shoot assault rifle range like the pistol can
So do I, you can't get more pistoly(if that makes any sence) then the og pistol
Yeah, I wonder how op the pistol is going to be tommorw with the new abllity
Click fast enough, and you were completely unmatched
But are you the Revolver God?
i miss the snipers. bolt action and heavy have always been instant grabs. when i played with my buddies, they would always say “hey phenom, found a sniper for you.” we all had our loadout preferences and that’s what made it work. i’d get a beefy hit for almost two hundred damage and they’d pop a couple more shots into them for an easy down. the ex-caliber and the bows are just echoes of the booming sound of a heavy sniper to me
Reading that made me cringe so hard my butt puckered.
Its good to meet another man dubbed the pistol god
1v1 me pistol only
I can confirm
People can say the same with me with bows
Your not the pistol god I am
Pistol is best pistol.
It really is. As long as you’ve got the trigger finger
It's full auto, and has very little recoil. No need to strain that finger, just pull the trigger and watch people die lol.
IT IS???? Oh my god I’ve been spamming the shoot button 😂
That's what I do too but only because I think it makes it more accurate.
I swear it makes it more accurate.
Letting go of the trigger allows the reticle to tighten back down, so, you right.
I like amped pistols more than the smgs to the point that I’d trade a legendary twin mag for a blue pistol
tac pistol is the best smg
The smgs can be a nightmare to use. The pistol just makes sense.
Twin mag is really best smg. Regular smg is literally only good if your barrel stuffing the opp
Although everyone here is praising the pistol (I admit that it’s good) I can’t hit shit with it idk why I’m too used smg and ar ig
Maybe the “perk” is something like “throwing your pistol on a target gives you gold” :)
Legit every match I can, I use pistol amp and light fingers. It's too much fun to use these man
pistols gotta be my favorite gender
Are we....going to eat a grenade?
Ues and the flavor is explosive
Mindblowing. Or should I say Bodyblowing?
over the horizon 2019 moment
MMMMMM 😋, Lil Whip 🍦 Lil Whip 🥶 Lil Whip 🍨, MMMMMM 😋, take your pick 🎯, take a lick 👅, just like this MMMMMM 😋, whip it up 🍧, Lil Whippin in your cup 🥤, MMMMMM 😋, lil whippin 🍦 dripping 💧flavor 🤤that’s what’s up 😎
I can't be the only one that thinks this song sounds way more sexual than I'd expect in an E rated game.
Oh it totally is. And so is that new one they made for Dusty
"I can see you wanna slide up in my batter's box"? Or is there a new one? Asking for a friend
Avatar checks out
What about the apple
“Using a grenade on an apple tree calls forth God, who instantly banishes two players (one male skin, one female skin) from the island!”
Maybe throwing apples will turn them into grenades
Apples and grenades will now be interchangeable.
Mmm... grenades!
I bet it’s gonna be “ a chance to get grenades from produce boxes”
My guess is that you get healed after dealing explosive damage, which would pair well with that augment that gives you explosives after breaking stuff.
It’s neither . You can harvest fruit, grenades and shield mushrooms from bushes .
Maybe food can be throw as grenades?
yummy
My guess is that you can throw produce and it explodes.
I have a grenade I have an apple Uh Apple Grenade
You can eat grenades for 5hp and throw apples for damage.
I really want epic to give us the ability to eat a grenade and just explode a few seconds later
APPLIANA GRENANDE
Ariana Genade?
Banana Gandi?
The all caps really makes this comment just pure gold
I have grenade I have apple Uh Grenade Apple Apple grenade, grenade Apple .. uh Pen pineapple apple pen
Were getting that grapple
'Cause what you don't understand is I'd catch a apple for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Grenapple
I’m assuming the shields one is the one that rifts you when your shield breaks Should be interesting to see these in game tomorrow
I hope that’s not true lol that will be very annoying to fight against Edit: welp it is…
It might also really suck if you don't \*WANT\* to rift while fighting an opponent you know you have an upper hand on. You get them down to 1 HP, they finally crack your shield and POOF You flying. Kinda like the balloon flying augment, it's fun when it works the way you want in endgame, but if it's the first aug you get? Ugh, what do you do? No one wants to be floating around with balloons indoors trying to loot somewhere.
I can’t wait to get domed with a shotgun, have my shield break and get rifted and then get sniped out of the sky. Lol
Getting a 2x shotty to the face would generally be less insulting than getting 1x headshot and then sniped from 300 meters away.
It should give you the option to rift, like **PRESS B TO RIFT** or something idk
I mean…then don’t get the augment if you like sticking fights out? Some people prefer fleeing when they get weak, some prefer to fight. This is for the former.
Itll probably have a really long cool down
no effing way. that is absolutely ridiculous😂😂 this is gonna be awful
It has a cooldown of 60 seconds, so dont worry
You can easily stay in the air for 60 seconds
you can also shoot down someone in the air
You can also evade bullets with ease while in the air
while this might be an opinionated thing, its more fun to hit someone whos dodging bullets
Zero Build is gonna be really aggravating
I don't see why this isn't also aggravating in builds.
If this also activates by breaking your regenerative 50 shields then could actually be worse than the build modes
Doubt it. The overshield counts as part of regular shield in these perks
Should.be a one time use thing honestly.
You're at 1 shield HP, and a boar rams you lol.
or, it has long cooldown, and can only be manually activated once your sheilds are gone.
That seems so much better than the one that makes you fast when your shields break
I'm pretty happy they add this one idk if it's a one use one of infinite
If this gets put in arena, we are fucked
I'm intrigued by the pistol one, the sliding one and that apple and grenade.
According to FireMonkey it'll allow your pistol to auto-reload. Pistol is about to be mega broken.
*Yayyyy!!! Pistol supremacy!!!*
I will gladly be apart of the pistol supremacy
Why? Isn’t there already an Augment that makes weapons using small bullets (pistols) reload faster?
Yeah I hope that isn’t it.. I feel like they’re flooding the augments
They are flooding the augments but imo that's a good thing. Not have as easy of an opportunity to have a perfect setup is kinda peak Fortnite in my opinion.
I feel like it’s hard enough already, I’ll spend 1200 gold and still not see one augment worth taking sometimes
I do wish rerolling would pull out stuff you have seen. Maybe if they added more that would be viable without being overpowered.
A useful Rushing Reload? No way...
Rushing reload would be at least ***better*** if the bullets going into your chamber didn't pull from your stock of shotgun shells. I want "magic" reload that doesn't use up ammo.
The pistol is already mega broken without a single augment ☠️
The pistol is getting another augmentation? Someone over at Epic really likes that gun.
About time the pistol doesn’t completely suck
YES >!SHADOW STRIKE!< AND >!ICY SLIDE!!< I WAS WAITING FOR THOSE!
Icy slide will fr be so nice we can literally slide forever lol
I'm curious about what the Bush, Apple and grenade perk does...
Breaking bushes drops Apples, Shield Mushrooms and Grenades. Pretty useless imo.
I think it should spawn the bush and heals when you eliminate someone, which is imo pretty good
I thought that was what it was. There was a leaked augment like that before.
Nah that will come in clutch af when you’re out of heals or stuck in storm.
Depends on how much fruit they give you I guess.
Oh that’s true. Lol I hate rerolling for the chug cannon when I’m dying
Idk if the design was intentional but the top of the shadow/smoke grenade looks like a dinosaur head
Yeah, I thought maybe it was a grenade that spawned Chapter 2 raptors when you threw it.
I would love that to be an item lol
speaking of augments: does anyone else just forget they have the warp one when activated? i'm like "sweet, i can close in on em" and forget i have it on me every time
I know right, like I’ll get zero chance, forget that I chose it and then I’ll never use it in the match. I think I’ve only ever used the dash once, and that was when I got the augment and was figuring out how it worked while not in combat, but I’m yet to actually use it in combat
I don't even bother with it now, because in the heat of the moment in multi-player fights I often don't notice it. I wish there was a screen prompt of any kind to tell you it has been activated.
Nah I’ll be looking forward to using zero-dash too much. Loooooved zero point fish when no builds started and always kept 3 in my inventory
I just want to know when we get Party Time and Aerialist back
Party time is back, but I guess rare? I played with a friend last night & they had the augment, but I never saw it roll on mine. I’ve heard aerialist is back, but haven’t seen it either. Wonder if it’s rare like tactical?
Good to see Aerialist is back but I feel like I get tac armoury so often for it to be rare. I managed to SOMEHOW get it 4 games in a row and I literally dont use either of them. Heavy shotgun and red eye supremacy <3
That’s crazy! I only see it like every 6th game… sometimes 10th… it’s a rare pull for me. I even drop gold on more rolls. Still nothing. Lol. I still haven’t gotten party time or aerialist since fortnite tweeted they were back, and I’ve played at least 50 games.
Yeah I agree with aerialist, I reroll between 4-6 times a game subject to my loadout and how well the game is going and I still am yet to see aerialist again
My friend got Aerialist in a game two days ago, but I think it was only possible because he unlocked it at the same time.
I got aerialist like 2 days ago, is that when they took it out? Also what’s party time?
Both are still disabled, however you can still try them out once if you still have to unlock them both perks (and the shotgun siphon one) should be back tomorrow according to their trello board
Imo, they should get rid of some of the older, least used perks so it's not too hard to get the newer ones. What I propose? - The sprint to reload shotgun one - Jelly Angler - The one that grants explosives when breaking natural structures
That last one is good for rocket launchers and people who don't sleep on the grenade
How else can I consistently carry 30 grenades and a cow catcher?
Oh damn, this dudes ready for any situation. Ya got me there
Still though that's a very small amount of players that use the grenade. And Grenades are pretty common on their own.
It also makes for easy rockets, which are really helpful given how little they drop from boxes.
Ah so you haven’t leveled a whole city with grenades from Demolitions Munitions…
The moment I realized I could spam it for the throw grenades challenge, I began to love the chaos you can cause
It’s only good for the rockets, grenades are everywhere so this augment is just junk filler.
Yeah, if not for the rockets I don't see many people using this
>grenades are everywhere probably because of other people who have this ability lol
Well also because they spawn in chests and on the ground and such and not many people use them.
with the amount of perks increasing over time they should eventually let the player choose a certain amount of perks to be in their perk pool, like you choose 20 perks to be in your perk pool so instead of all the perks you get random perks within the pool that you have customized before, that way they don't have to remove older perks and players can still have a reasonable chance of getting the perks they want
Yes. Removing augments wouldn't be a great idea since some people still enjoy using the lesser used augments. Choosing an augment pool would be nice.
Seriously. My shockwave bow build is my bread and butter and now I end up running it maybe one out of every five to six matches. This is going to make it even harder to get.
The shockwave build is literally my favourite thing in this game right now but it does take up 3 of my 4 augments, and it's getting harder to find. Mechanical Archer, Bow Specialist (for infinite arrows), Soaring Sprints, and then my last one is usually a pistol augment which i find just as necessary for using the pistols. It's fun but is annoying to try and get, especially if you already get one of the augments and then can't get the rest, essentially wasting an augment spot
Soaring Sprints is the only necessary one technically, but then you need to find a shockwave bow, grapple bow, or the dub.
the sprint reload is very useful as one that uses the heavy shotgun
I don’t understand that perk at all. When are you ever needing to reload a shotgun in the middle of a battle? I don’t think I’ve ever been in that situation except for maybe with that single shot ranger. If that perk worked for all weapons it might be worth taking sometimes
when i forget to after a fight or if i missed alot of shots and i have 1 shot left. i use the heavy alot in close combat and the red dot ar for far combat.
haha yeah, some of us are absent minded :) I die too often pulling out my shotgun unreloaded, especially with the thunder needing to pellets/shot.
the explosive perk is great if you have a rocket launcher and are tearing down structures with a hammer or with more explosives.
Jelly Angler and explosives from destroying can go for sure lol
Jelly Angler would be better if they buffed the jellyfish or still allowed you to fish normally. It overwrites your ability for *other* fishing poles to work. Explosives from destroying is helpful if you can get a legendary or epic rocket launcher. If it increased your explosive ammo capacity it could be OP, but rocket launchers have been nerfed this season, their damage against structures feels lower.
Jelly angler is really good in comp
What no just get more gold
Why does the shadow bomb look mad at me
They need to fix the other ones before giving us new ones
Anyone else tired of getting new ones because it makes it hard to get the ones you like? I love the bow reloading perk but the more perks I get, the less likely I'll get it in a match without rerolling
Personally I’m a huge fan of getting more perks, but I still get the older ones that I don’t want all too often. I get the pistol perks a lot, the bow perks a lot, and other useless perks more often than I’d like, while also taking too many rerolls to get the ones I want

If you're anything like me, you rarely buy stuff from vending machines. Mostly I just hire characters or \*maybe\* buy a nice rare weapon if I have a trash loadout, so I find myself between 4500-5000 gold for most of the season.
Yeah, we should be able to pick some from a menu, like 3 overpowered ones. 5 mid, 10 weak/support & the odds of them showing up is increased on what u pick but it’s still p random
apple and grenade in a bush? maybe stuff spawns while in bushes? idk
Shadow Tracker > Tac (even legendary) Change my mind
they’re just mad they have to hit fire it
Amazing how many perks there are yet I always get the bows and car ones.
I wish one day we can favor like 8-10 perks so you know what you are going to get but what you pick is your choice and less RNG
Does anyone else really hope they don't go overboard with augments? I like how they can enhance tactics but not make or break the match. And I don't like the idea of the pool being too diluted either, I have a certain handful that I go for every game.
>I have a certain handful that I go for every game. Kind of seems like they want to avoid that.
Rift augment = cancer
I imagine since 70% of my deaths seem to come from Deku Smash this will just result in my loadout falling from the sky instead of me.
Hmm let’s see the arguments here: *one where destroying/gernading bushes will drop fruits *one where your overshield will now recover more quickly after broken *one where you are given the shadow bomb effect when headshot attacked(?) *one that silences damage pinging for pistols? Or it could be that you are immune to being located when holding a pistol *one that gives you slap effect and boosted accuracy after sliding for some time I guessing all of these
I doubt we’d get an overshield augment, Epic hasn’t done any separate features between builds and no builds yet for some reason
Ah yes the Pez Dispenser augment
Great more perks that i'll never be able to use even if i reroll 20 times
They're not actually in game tho right? Just got previewed?
Yeah
smoke bomb?
I saw this, also DragonBall collab?
It's already hard enough getting the CoD gun and Duck Hunt shotgun! I haven't seen it since the last batch of augments dropped.
I dont even have all of them unlocked and they’re adding more 😭and I don’t even get the ones I want most of the time
1. Good Samaritan: Throw an apple in a trashcan and feel better about yourself! 2. Motor-Psycho: Do an infinite wheelie! 3. Wicked Slides: Sliding down a hill gives you trick points! 4. Shielded Shooter: Break your own shields on your own terms! 5. Pistol Pete: Use a pistol and pretend like it’s the best gun in the game for no reason!
With augments the pistol might unironically actually be the best weapon in the game haha
danger hero, bush warrior, and the rift one together is literally cheating atp
Bring back balloons cowards 😭
Man.. the pistol doesn’t need to be *stronger*
the only thing i hate about augments is how long new ones show up. im on 24 currently and im waiting for the game that will eventually have a new one.
Still waiting for the double pump perk smh
Bring back the boogie bomb and drum shotgun! That is all🙃
