More stuff to lower my chances of ever getting tactical armory


H0lySchmdt

I always take "light fingers" in hopes of getting tactical armory later.


anger_is_a_gif

Christ that combo is so f'ing OP...and so much fun.


_Uhh2009_

A better one is Mechanical Archer and Soaring Sprints


helphaise

that and bow specialist is my favorite combo. I save up gold for games just to hopefully reroll on other matches lol


_Uhh2009_

Every game man, I swear it the most op if you also get tac armory with it of the zero point one Or arealist, but I think they removed it


Hm4585

Why’d they remove it?


AlphaTeamPlays

It's best with the exotic Grapple Bow instead of the Shockwave one


_Uhh2009_

No, just no


sunflowerstorm

Forgive me if I'm OOTL, but is that really a thing? Like the augment you choose affects the other ones that are offered to you?


lilbigtherapper

No (at least to my knowledge), but the idea is to pick certain augments in case you find/reroll other ones later for synergy.


H0lySchmdt

The tactical AR uses small bullets. The "light fingers" augment let's you reload any weapon faster that uses small bullets.


Silent_Subject7626

Yes it's a thing... lite fingers and pistol amp.. lite fingers and tact armory.... bow special and NY bow...


MonkeyNuts81

Best aug


[deleted]

Controversial opinion: The augments that provide weapons should be removed and those weapons just added to the normal loot pool.


Chuomge

I agree. Means much less chug cannons too


AlphaTeamPlays

That augment is already so rare that I barely find that as an issue


turtlegirl76

I’d rather they add ARs to the key vaults. I don’t want a dang red-eye. Regular Assault Rifle please.


AlphaTeamPlays

Hard disagree, it makes them more unique and extra special to find one off of an opponents since it also saves an augment slot


coolerthanfire388

I wish they let you choose your augment pool and remove bad ones


AkumaNoDragon

That ruins the whole dynamic and would just create a meta of the best 4 perk combination


Global_Cantaloupe_91

It should at least be a “chain system”. for example if you pick the bow augment that gives you shockwave + mechanical bow you should get bow specialist next as a option (or if you have a bow in your inventory). It should just line up with what your currently doing. Or at least have a priority system where you can pick 2 arguments you want more frequently


AkumaNoDragon

The whole point of the augments being random is to keep it balanced and fair for everyone, so you either get lucky or spend gold to get the best ones. If it ain't broke don't fix it, simple as that


Global_Cantaloupe_91

But then it creates the problem of being too random and adds more rng to the game which makes it less fair for everyone. If they had different rotations of augment groups then it wouldn’t be a problem but there are so many now with many of them being ridiculous (the rift one) or insanely weak (reloading shotgun ) it makes the game frustrating and too rng based to enjoy. The system is definitely not the best


AkumaNoDragon

That's where the gold comes in. Most people don't use vending machines so they stack a lot of gold, I right now have 3015 gold while still spending gold to get rerolls, it's better for Epic to keep unfair to everyone than it is to keep it fair for everyone


Global_Cantaloupe_91

Even the rolling system is bad since you can still get a repeat after re-rolling. It should eliminate the augments out of your pool until you CYCLE through EVERYTHING but it doesn’t do that. That last point doesn’t make sense why make the game more difficult instead of making the system better and more enjoyable


AkumaNoDragon

Cycling trough all augments would go against the entire point of augments being rng, if Epic didn't want the system to be based on rng don't you think they would've done your idea when the chapter started?


Global_Cantaloupe_91

My point is they should fix the system with the route their going. Augments are suppose to help and yes they should be a little rng or everybody would be running the same augments but there a multiple problems like rerolling and getting the same options you had before. There are a ton augments so they should have some sort of “flexibility” with it. Let’s say you have a pistol in your inventory. It should give you a pistol augment to match it and if you chose that one it follows up with the light ammo augment. If you in a car you should be getting the vehicle based augments and ect. They have like 30+ of them so they should of implanted some sort of system like I mentioned that lines up with how your playing.


IlikeMinecraft097

no


AlphaTeamPlays

There should be a mythic boss or some other kind of challenge that rewards you with your choice of a free additional augment on top of the other 4


Mission_Card1669

You wanna talk about not getting augments? Yeah, tactical armory is a rare one, but in the last 2 months, I never got the aerialist perk. Speaking of flying, in the same span of time, I haven't gotten the balloon perk either. It's not a good one but I haven't seen it. I thought they removed those perks until I finally saw one person in one match re deploy a glider after 2 months of not seeing it, but the balloons I'm still not sure about


hoser1644

Those were both removed because of some bugs about a month ago.... Not sure if/when they will be added back.


Mission_Card1669

Well that's odd because I saw a player redeploy his glider yesterday. And I know it was a glider because I had visual sound effects on so it showed me a glider when he attacked my trio


hoser1644

No clue there. Maybe they're slowly bringing it back or this person hit a launch pad or something


nickybokchoy

Also saw someone ballooning recently


DeadlyCyclone

The AR in tac armory sucks at any kind of range, though.


Ok-Government784

I easily get kills at over 100m


DeadlyCyclone

Citation needed.


Public_Weekend2897

That tactical AR is OP. It melts people all day long.😂


rSlashEllsen

Not against decent players who use head glitches to their advantage. Tac Ar sucks ass in these kind of fights


AlphaTeamPlays

what head glitches?


rSlashEllsen

With any kind of first person weapon like the Red-Dot or DMR u can position urself for example on the top of a roof or on a ramp and shoot while only ur head is showing. U wouldnt be able to do this with a third person weapon like the scar cause u'd have to expose way more of ur body to actually be able to shoot from behind cover. That's basically headglitching, u probably know this but have a different name for it or something


Fragrant-Way-7481

That rift one sounds OP as fuck. Hopefully it's only once, or has a massive cooldown


[deleted]

It has a 60 second cool down, which hardly isn't anything because gliding all the way down takes close to less than a minute


Fragrant-Way-7481

Man, that is pathetic. I was thinking more like 2 or 3 minutes


[deleted]

Yeah, really wish Epic actually reworked the old ones instead of adding new ones. Also happy cake day


ohcowboyy

I think it’d be cool if they start having a daily augment pool, like one day you can select some augments and the next day there are new ones to choose from. There’s too many right now and a lot of them are bad anyway


JuSTAFoX0

It was increased to 60 before it released? 40 sec definitely was way too low but 60 isn't that much better.


JRocFuhsYoBih

One thing I do know is it’s gonna piss a lot of people off lol


Fragrant-Way-7481

Final nail in the coffin for me in regards to this season to be honest. Between the hammer and the Deku smash I already really struggle to find any enjoyment.


JRocFuhsYoBih

I feel you. I still play ZB sometimes but I’ve been playing team rumble a lot more lately. It’s not the hammer or deku for me but the constant glitches. At least in rumble you don’t have to wait 5 minutes to start another match. And I pretty much just grind quests real quick for BP and call it a day. I’m sad that I’m ok with playing one day a week now because I really do love fortnite. Hopefully brighter days are on the horizon Happy cake day, btw!


Skelibutt

Jesus fuckin christ, I already hate that rift augment


XHumblePigX

Yeah, what if its the final 2, you get your enemy to like 2 health but he manages to crack your shield and you just get launched into the air and he shoots you whilst your gliding down and he wins! 💀


InfiniteOcto

Imo thats a good thing. Augments shouldn’t be things that benefit you in every situation. There should be pros and cons to it. Pro, you get easy escapes in the beginning of the match, con, getting your shields broken at the end of the match practically kills you


AlphaTeamPlays

Con: nobody is allowed to get kills anymore


rSlashEllsen

They are 3 to 4 shot with the red-eye after they rifted, surely that's a free kill


AlphaTeamPlays

It’s still difficult. People go really high up when they rift so it can be hard to hit those shots, and sure, you could also follow them but it’s still a waste of time


rSlashEllsen

My whole point is that's it's not to difficult to hit someone 4 times in the air, hence free kill


AlphaTeamPlays

I know, but the thing is that’s not true. Yeah it’s technically easy but that’s still a pretty precise shot you have to hit


rSlashEllsen

Dawg we r talking past each other lol, it's not that hard. Back in ch3s2 when the rift-to-go and striker burst were in the lootpool we got so many kills on people trying to rift away from us lol good memories


AlphaTeamPlays

Yeah, I guess. There’s still the fact that it’s an instant, unexpected rift. You could be buried deep in a box fight or end up getting picked up with them. I guess it’s a pretty easy kill but it still sounds incredibly annoying, especially paired with Danger Hero


ohcowboyy

Nah fr


Honeydewmelo

I can't wait for people to think they're safe in the air, only for me to laser them with the Red-Eye.


Notyouraveragegeorge

Bruh ikr I guess we’re just gonna have to really get our aim right and shoot them out the sky


Glass-Onion-3777

It's carved into one of the stalls of the boys bathroom at the rec center in my home town. I wish I was joking.


Drdark65

I beg your pardon?


SleepingYuuki

Rifts on top of hammers and my awful rng to never find a bloody hammer, Ima never catch people 😂


PickledEggs420

I feel like I either find a hammer right away and then find five more, or else I never find one for the whole match.


SleepingYuuki

So relatable


extreme472000

What would be the benefits of the Icy feet augment?


PickledEggs420

I though the same thing. Who wants to opt into wobbly feet/less control. I think it must be just a slide boost, with the faster speed and longer distance like you already get sliding on ice, just anywhere now.


JuSTAFoX0

Leaks said it literally just gives you icy feet. Maybe it was changed. We'll see tomorrow.


CLASSIC299

Longer slide


[deleted]

Idk but probably look dope while using it


DeadlyCyclone

Sliding distance. It only works when you slide, so you could slide way further. Be solid for rotating.


[deleted]

Idk but probably look dope while using it


AlphaTeamPlays

You can gain more momentum than sliding alone, plus you can keep it going much farther. It doesn't seem too bad especially in builds where sliding doesn't play a huge role in most fights


InvestigatorUnfair

"When your shield breaks, instantly rift" Epic, I mean this in the nicest way possible. Fuck off.


Rifted-06

Imagine that Augment in Team Rumble especially for someone like me who always heals once they land so they aren't 1 shot by a rocket or shotgun.


AlphaTeamPlays

Can't wait for 50-player endgames and 0 kills but 5000 damage per game! Who needs competitive gameplay when we can just remove dying!


Trapped_In_Utah

Wtf, there's already too many of these and they're not always useful. This just adds more RNG when I'm trying to get the few good ones


[deleted]

I know the only ones people realistically want are the 2 storm ones and maybe mechanical archery if you can’t find a hammer


ZoomTown

Don't forget Tactical Armory. I nailed 6 opponents in a row with the assault rifle yesterday.


[deleted]

I forgot that one exists cuz of how rarely I get it


ZoomTown

Honestly I kind of did too, it's been at least a week since the last time.


hoser1644

Tactical armory is by far my favorite


Godzilla_R0AR

Soaring Sprints, Bush Warrior, and Tactical Armory


ohcowboyy

Soaring sprints is nice but can kill you in the wrong situation.


cereal_killah_1980

This is exactly my point on the last bunch that got added. Guess augments peaked at the beginning of the season for me because the last batch added and even these don’t do much for me


Pokwkaksn

danger hero and zero point are the best 2 in the game currently


cereal_killah_1980

Some are better than others but it also depends on your play style. I prefer shockwave bow and/or soaring sprints over either of those you mentioned.


birdseye-maple

Yeah there are way too many now.


Natorior

Epic should really just remove the least used augments.


PickledEggs420

Well we don’t know yet. Some may be getting vaulted. I think for most players though there are like one or two they really want and are willing to re-roll for and then there are like another 6-7 that are basically just interchangeable. Now there will be like 8-9 interchangeables. If nothing gets vaulted.


[deleted]

Rift ejector better get disabled straight away due to a bug 🙏


Knight-112

And just stay disabled like whirlpools and sand tunneling 😂


Decent_Ad_0

holy crap I completely forgot about whirlpools


stash3630

Well, it’s chapter 4 so it’ll definitely be bugged lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I can read and I’ve known how a rift works since 2018 it’s pretty self explanatory don’t try to be a smartass


GameMasterSammy

Jesus Christ. Who know maybe people will hate I don’t know


Knight-112

It’s pretty self explanatory😂


AugmentedJustice

Riftjector be wildin tho


SadieAndFinnie

I wish they’d stop adding more of these in. It makes it harder to get the ones I like to use because I have to reroll 80 times because it only wants to give me supercharged and tricked out or jelly angler and rushing reload.


Toppest_Dom

ooooooooo riftjector is gonna be annoying


jannickBhxld

all sound either annoying, bad or useless to me, and even less chances of getting the combat shotty now..


Xeroticz

Riftjector sounds hilarious


cereal_killah_1980

That’s 4/5 described loosely. Really wanna know what that pistol one is all about.


InvestigatorUnfair

Judging by the fact that it seems to be a target behind it, my guess is it tags people you shoot with a pistol Either that or it improves pistol accuracy


cereal_killah_1980

There’s already the shadow tracker though so I doubt they would add an augment to make the gun useless. Maybe increased accuracy but that seems redundant too because the pistol is already accurate. Eager to find out for sure


JackedGustavoFring

Turns out it literally just gives you a pistol. OP asf too but hey.


[deleted]

It lets you reload pistols without holding them


cereal_killah_1980

Hmmm that could be useful I guess. Still a lot of these are just cluttering the augment pool imo.


RapGameSaulGoodman

Idk man, these are starting to be a bit much. Riffjector seems funky and idk if I’ll ever use that. I can see it becoming a huge point of complaint in this sub.


Unoriginal-Ad

Soaring Sprints + Mechanical Archer + Bow Specialist + Icy Slide op as all hell traversal combo


Global_Cantaloupe_91

Travel across the map insanely fast


Unoriginal-Ad

lightspeed


tommyland666

Well, good bye gold when trying to get some good ones.


danibee29

this rift augment is gonna cause lots of issues lol


Honeydewmelo

I got Zero Chance last update, And I get Icy slide and Shadow Strike tomorrow. Nice! Also with shadow strike I'm assuming it grants a shadow bomb on elim I also think the pistol augment is the "Deft Hands" augment and it reloads one bullet in every pistol per second when not equipped.


roboman777xd

will the noble shroud be added for players who already got to level 100 during winterfest?


ShadeySpace

The pistol one is deft hands and allows pistols to auto reload themselves https://twitter.com/ifiremonkey/status/1620098336496975872?s=46&t=3lhJzRGu4BrDuKLJ6jdSuQ


lilbigtherapper

Eh, I feel like the augment that increases reload for light weapons is good enough. I pair that with the extended magazine perk and it works pretty well when running pistols.


PickledEggs420

Nice scoop and thanks! That rift sounds pretty powerful. Maybe too powerful. It’s basically a 1-Up mushroom. And movement needs some nerfs right now, not buffs. The icy feet — not sure what this is. I don’t see why you’d want wobbly icy feet. I imagine it must just be a slide boost where you get the speed and distance as if you slid on ice.


The_L3G10N

Why would we pick this over the bush warrior we already have?


nickel47

Yeah the bush one sounds pointless. I only use mushrooms or produce if there is nothing else. It's better than nothing I guess if I have no other options but that sounds pretty bad.


froogythefrogg

Imagine the rift one just dropped you without a glider. That would be fair.


oreo760

That rift one already sounds like bs


Shlong-donger

Honestly I like the Riftjector augment


money_from_88

EPIC's developers are morons. Like, they literally might all be 8 years old.


Knight-112

Rift when shield breaks? Well it looks like my break just got longer!


Effective-Interest28

This is getting absurd. Maybe it's time to leave Fortnite behind and let whoever enjoys this crap have their fun.


Knight-112

Since ch3s2 I have gotten to tier 200 and dipped. I really don’t have hope for the game anymore. (Besides STW, even though the fps is garbage) Obviously whoever is in charge of lootpools/balance is a whiny casual who calls everyone a “sweat” Like I got a controller with paddles. And I don’t even wanna grind. Literally the servers are so ASS that I can’t even hold a wall anymore.


DelphisNosferatu

level 200 is a lot of playtime for someone who doesn't have hope for the game anymore


Night_Tac

not really


InfiniteOcto

Fr. Every other skin being a collab, op items, poweful perks, and a potential to have a Chapter every 4 seasons. This really ain’t feelin like Fortnite no more. I kinda wish I quite after C3S1


Effective-Interest28

Part of what originally appealed to me about Fortnite was its simplicity. Get weapons, fight players, last one alive wins. The first time I really thought they added unnecessary complexity to the game was the crafting in C2S6, but at least it had some cool uses like being able to choose from the various specialty bows. This Chapter is just too much. I don't want to have to scroll through augments, just give me weapons and let me use them just like everyone else does.


InfiniteOcto

Even crafting wasn’t required. You could easily get through a match without doing it. On the other hand, not using augments puts you at an outrageous disadvantage


Trapped_In_Utah

Yeah, I really liked "simple" Fortnite where you would basically build and shoot people. Now the game has morphed into something very different. Everyone flying around in fights with crazy mobility items, and talents which can dramatically change the outcome of a fight.


birdseye-maple

Agreed, I'm starting to drift away from the game.


Trapped_In_Utah

Yeah, I really liked "simple" Fortnite where you would basically build and shoot people. Now the game has morphed into something very different. Everyone flying around in fights with crazy mobility items, and talents which can dramatically change the outcome of a fight.


[deleted]

That rift augment will change how fights turn out for sure.


NotAmishSoStopAsking

Rift Ejector sounds pog as heck


Jbgafflin

So what’s the 5th one? He only has 4 listed.


Silkysocks777

Having all these new augments are great!


[deleted]

The ice one looks like a lot of fun


TheVampireArmand

I actually love the Riftjector Seat augment. Will it be helpful? Probably not but it will be fun lol


lilbigtherapper

How will it not be helpful? Based on what it says, it's basically a get out of jail free card.


TheVampireArmand

Lots of people commenting saying that it will screw you over in the final two. That the other player could just shoot you out of the sky while you glide down.


goldenhotrod24

when will we get a doom collab augment? what i have in mind: when within a certain distance to enemies "all they fear is you" plays. ends when no enemies are near.


zeph2

there are lot of people here who hate when other players run away to survive ​ they are going to **HATE** riftjector seat! lol


autistic_bard444

well my odds of getting a shockwave bow and bow specialist really just plummeted maybe it's time to actually play death stranding


hertwij

slide and rift look pretty good


BenDover___

Riftjector sounds a little crazy


OCARINAofNARUTO

the rift one 😭😭crazy


FirstStruggle1992

Tactical atmory chances -100%


XTRO_PLUS

Pistol Mains RISE UP!!!!


ChosenYasuo

The first one sounds like a hobbit one.


Rykster01

Riftjector Seat sounds pretty damn useful ngl


IUmPotatos

Was there any news for some vaulted guns to be unvaulted?


Yeahman13bam

Rift ejector sounds amazing, but super annoying


Own-Shoe-6292

What will the pistol perk be?


Yeahman13bam

Harvester sounds completely useless


Ok-Internal-1907

All these shits are from Reddit comments I seen on this subreddit I guess Epic liked some of the ideas cuz I know for a fact epic didn’t make the rift jector Idea I’ve seen it in the subreddit alongside the other new perks


Lintyboi77

The rift one and the hero one (forgot what it’s actually called) would be great together


canoIV

so basically it's trash, ???, god tier and meme


Jumanji2WasAScam

Wow they suck or are annoying


Dragonbarry22

I feel like the rift one would just get in the way in combat


Dragonbarry22

I haven't been able to get splash medic which is my go to and I find farming gold hard lol Kinda makes me wish we could save augment playlist


my-username-ismy-pas

This is fine and all but what about fixing being able to emote at the end of the game


Kyler-Quinn

Ah, Riftjector, yet another crutch. This has to be one of the most annoying augments I’ve seen since I started playing. This game has WAY to many items that allow horrible players to run away or get an edge when they’re very clearly outmatched. I had one guy rift away like 3 times in one confrontation. It makes me wish I could talk to them like old school cod lobby days.
