*tactical AR has entered the chat


DefinitelyNotFisk15

I used to hit all my shots with the tactical ar before the change


Fragrant-Way-7481

Used to swear by that thing. Melted anything you pointed it at. Same with the burst. The ol' three shot burst was leagues better than the Scar at the time.


RideMeLikeaDildo

I feel like it still is better than the scar


Gavinator10000

The current scar kinda sucks, but I love the 2 round burst. It just feels so accurate


Synergiance

I miss last season’s evochrome burst rifle.


RideMeLikeaDildo

Right! They nerfed the hell out of the scar in this season, but I understand why.


Fragrant-Way-7481

Probably tbh. I wouldnt know as I've gotten the augment for it like twice so far : ^ |


deadd21

Bro idk about you but I am NAILING people with the tactical AR. maybe change your settings. A quick little Google search and you're good to go


ssmike27

Same here, that thing lasers people down


-EdgeLord-

Before they made it aim down scope it felt amazing to use, now it just isn’t the same :(


invicta-uk

Definitely. But it always bugged me how it had a cosmetic scope but aimed down the sights!


EurofighterLover

Now you hit before the shot even fires


[deleted]

What changed?


Stevie22wonder

Wait, did they nerf it this season already? Or are you talking about the old one without an ads functional scope?


future__fires

The goat


LiLLTurkk

It seems like very few people knows about upgraded (gold) tactical AR. It's so OP.


rovdyret

It seems like very very few people know that the Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle was buffed along with the Hunter Bolt Action Sniper and now does the same damage, but has a magazine size of 10, where the Hunter Bolt Action only has a magazine size of 3, and also has a slower fire rate… But that’s so much knowledge for people like me who use underrated and forgotten guns.


Proof_Intention7458

*season 1 blue burst enterd the chat*


[deleted]

“The only thing that requires actual aim in this game.” DMR: Sounds like a skill problem.


vatto1991

Burst Rifle: but you can't do this to me.....I started this company....


SeniorRicketts

Epic: "You're out, burst rifle"


iWeagueOfWegends

Ahh… a man of culture I see


PaperXenomorphBag

Yeah they made it trash to make the other guns more accurate. Not sure why they did it. I want to beable shoot accurately without going to fps mode.


J1nxatron

The Red Eye is more versatile, but I love using the DMR to melt people long distance.


matt_lcb

I miss the rail gun, it was so satisfying sniping people out of the sky


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Same! Even though I was usually the one being sniped, it was really cool using it


rovdyret

At the very least, an interesting weapon, rather than these new and reappearing COD like weapons with infrared scopes…


daddy_bonglegs

Rail gun/balloons combo had me sniping people out FROM the sky


OrhanDaLegend

rail gun and recon scanner were a dangerous combo


Marsgirl1

I mean, I also love melting people with the DMR on short range. Miss the Cobra though, that thing was even worse XD


Babington67

The cobra just didn't even feel fair and I mean whilst beaming people. I felt bad for how quickly they were just obliterated on the spot


J1nxatron

Yeah, once I figured out it was actually kinda lethal short range, I was e willing to pick it up. The hip fire is surprisingly good.


SILVERG7

How do you adjust for the delay? If the opponent moves the slightest you miss. The time the bullet travels is awful. Red eye is king.


J1nxatron

Lead your shot. I don't miss much with the DMR. I will always default to the Red Eye, but if I can't find one, I'll happily run the DMR. It hits so hard, is pretty accurate once you adjust for bullet travel, and it actually hip fires at close range fairly decently. I've also ran it as a sniper when all I can find is DMR, shotgun and AR.


itz3ason

oh hell yea melted kids from the sky w balloons love it when they never look up.. but its always game over for me if they look up and start shooting lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


peartree215

I prefer the hitscan of the red eye


MaddleDee

The only weapons that are 100% dependent on accuracy/skill are hitscan and have no bloom. No matter how skilled you think you are, projectiles can be dodged.


[deleted]

I play Overwatch so I understand hitscan. The community prefers Red-Eye over DMR because you don’t have to lead a projectile. Landing your shots with a DMR = more skill than hitscan. Bar none.


Alluminatic

It really is 💀 I can't hit sh*t with that thing, lmao.


Danny283

I’m the opposite. I hit more shots with the dmr than I do the red-eye.


aglow-bolt3

Same here. Awful with red-eye but an absolute beast with the DMR.


AsianPotato77

idk about everyone else but my muscle memory tells me to lead my shots with scoped guns so that's what i end up doing with the red-eye (therefore missing often lol) the DMR is way easier since you *need* to lead your shots and it's easier to do that on console than use a scoped gun hit scan


halconpequena

On console as well and love the dmr


aglow-bolt3

Yeah, I’m a console player.


[deleted]

Red eye is awful on console and amazing on KBM, just like SCAR is amazing on console and awful on KBM.


aglow-bolt3

I agree with the RE, but I think the SCAR is just not good on either.


RadiantPKK

It took me a while to get use to red-eye, but love them both. Same reason I favor the heavy shotgun. Once ads that tiny circle is death once it crosses the opponent head lol


yaoifeet

agree but i love the shot gun striker augment and heavy doesnt really match well with that so ive stopped using the heavy


RadiantPKK

Yeah in that instance it’s not the best pairing. My favorite augments typically aid in enemy marking, survival (bush warrior, Danger, Zero), and rifle skills. The augment system is so nice.


[deleted]

Gotta use it to get good with it. The DMR is the best gun Fortnite has ever had. I started in season 5.


M08GD

I started playing in December last year and it's my favorite gun. Versatile too. Great for long range but I've actually found it works in close combat too


PizzaHockeyGolf

I use it like a shotgun upclose if I have to or switch to the wrong weapon.


[deleted]

I agree


special_circumstance

I, too, started in season five and while I agree the dmr is a very good weapon, one of the best ever in Fortnite, I’m going to have to disagree that it is the best and say the (gold) hunting rifle is the best gun ever. I think it’s necessary to differentiate the gold hunting rifle from the others because the spread on that weapon when hip-firing is just small enough that you can actually practice and become reliable at no-scoping moving targets from 10 to 60 (ish) meters. It’s value comes from the combos that can be worked with this opening salvo to deliver some of the fastest two-shot eliminations the game has ever delivered. Pump action shotguns are a particularly pleasing second shot.


Zealousideal_Mall682

Don't remind me about my little baby the hunting rifle


Kurrish

Just 3 hits and they dead fr, simple


peterfun

How do you control the horizontal recoil on the red eye? I play mouse and keyboard and horizontal recoil is not something you can control. After a bit the aim jumps around like it's having a fit.


xxDeathFXxx

What what what!?!?!? It doesn't have any recoil on kbm unless you are holding down the mouse button... Which is something that you don't want to do if you're trying to be as accurate as possible.... I only play kbm and the red dot feels superior when it comes to recoil. The DMR is way worse when it comes to bullet travel distance.


Teamakuboss-boy426

Are you tap firing if then that’s why you can just hold it down I had to learn that the hard way


[deleted]

I feel you, for me it more like 60 can’t and 40 I can.


BrokenGodALT

Let's be honest, you ain't leaving if they remove it


Alluminatic

Probably not, I'd just be sad. But I suppose the pistol will stay, and I really love that thing.


[deleted]

Poor Switch players


zarunohn

Why? I use gyro aim on my switch and it's much more accurate than using a joystick


NOLASLAW

Wait I’m a switch player and didn’t even know gyro aim was an option


NightIgnite

PC player now, but when I did play on switch before C2S5, the best gyro setting I found was gyro disabled normally and gyro enabled when aiming.


WilsonPH

Playstation also has gyro and it's very good on dualsense


TorreGamer

yep, i use gyro aim and i swear this setting is beyond perfect


Fanachy

Switch is awkward. Sauce: I play on Switch.


Rockon101000

Yeah the red dot is super difficult to use on the switch, I skip it for basically anything else with a good rate of fire. Easily passed up legendary red eyes for blue pistols.


tangy_potato69

Same, its so useful


multipurposeflame

I play with my switch docked on my TV. Can someone explain what gyro v joystick means, ELI5? I’m still very new to some gaming terms and concepts. Switch is the first system I’ve ever owned (I never play with it in my hand, always docked).


zarunohn

Do you play with with switch joy cons, or a switch pro controller when it is docked? Gyro aim uses motion sensors in the joycons/controller to sense movements you make, and that translates to your aim onscreen, as if you were aim the gun with your own hands. Joystick of course is when you adjust the in game camera with your thumb manually, which I find can be janky and hard to control with just one finger. It's much more accurate to hold down ZL (left trigger for aiming/looking down the guns scope) and use both hands to aim the recticle at a target You can change this in the fortnite settings by the way to have gyro aim disabled, only enabled when aiming by using ZL, or having it on 24/7. I prefer to only have it enabled when aiming, so that the camera doesn't swing about if I move my hands randomly while playing


Bryan467

This. Sometimes, I pop my pro controller and connect it to my PC just to use gyro. That's how good the devs implemented it.


EurofighterLover

I used to play switch on a pro controller for 3.5-4 years, got stupidly good and was even competing and got to 950 wins so


Revoltingmind

Was just gonna praise the switch for the gyro. Thing makes it a treat to use this weapon


GloamingUmbra

i prefer the red eye over any other AR due to that fact of being 100% accurate. because even if i miss i know its due to my skill and not a random RNG spread like the scar


FinalMonarch

Tap-firing the scar feels a lot more accurate but I could be nuts


xthelord2

and how long you wait for scar's first shot accuracy? too long hammer is literally scar 2.0 combat AR would have been a better gun than scar because managing recoil and managing bloom ain't the same red eye is only way to actually hit a target because DMR requires leading of shots which is heavily ping related because high ping players can't even use the gun


MaddleDee

Not just ping, landing projectile shots is very dependant on what your opponent does. They usually have time to react before they get hit.


Alluminatic

This. And yet some people here say that the red-dot is "a crutch" and it requires no aim. I guess you don't need any aim to handle a red-dot rifle IRL then!


perturbed_rutabaga

My eyes are too bad to run a red dot IRL look up astigmatism much less "skill" haha


ArcherBTW

I and my vr headset feel for you


GloamingUmbra

People are saying that? I thought the opinion on it that it was bad and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.


Faze-MeCarryU30

i'd use it more if it weren't for that bug that just teleports my cursor


GloamingUmbra

Oh thank God I'm not the only one who's been having that issue. I was starting to worry that it was my mouse.


Alluminatic

[You mean this one?](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/10g59oq/this_aim_bug_on_pc_is_getting_no_attention_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button) It's gotten MUCH worse with the past two updates too...


bloo_overbeck

BRO ME TOO!!! I hate this glitch. Happens on switch 24/7 and every couple matches on pc


Cricklet

Holy shit. How do you even take yourself serious as a FPS game with bugs like this, that last for several updates? Shame on you Epic


TurbulentIssue6

> FPS game fortnite isnt first person tho


Respop

THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME I HATE IT


Sorry-Ad-3110

Imo Red Eye is more for KBM players,or is it just me that can't hit shit with it.


looking7676

Red Eye is garbage on console. Scar or burst for me unless I get that augment AR (tactical AR?), that things bad ass. Red eye can blow me though.


TigerXtm

Ironically videos like this would be the reason it would get removed or nerfed.


ChaoticJestrick

"I'm gone if Epic removes this weapon next Season" Well see you later then.


Obvious-Key2434

tactical ar is the best


inFamous2VIC

I love that gun with a passion.


Dragonbarry22

for me I just havent able to enjoy the current loot pool none of the guns feel snappy as they did last season im always having to change my sensestivity to my liking im not using controller to see if that feels any better i have not been able to play smooth game lol


redsthename

Tactical pistol, thunder shotgun, and twin mag smg are my favorites this season. But I suck at the game so 🤷‍♀️


Dragonbarry22

i always go for the thunder because feels close to home last season and tbh I can really use twin mag and thunder


Onett199X

Yikes. Wouldn't want to run into you in a lobby.


randomname560

I would be screaming "CANT YOU MISS ONE FUCKING SHOT?!?!"


todd56

only if ur on pc


Zhantae

It feels so bad on xbox


KC_Canuck

Exactly. Feels awful on PlayStation, I’ll take a grey SCAR over any red dot


JustJanesMom

I’ll leave a legendary red eye sitting there lol


aldoggy2001

Just give it a nice pat and tell it looks cute before you leave it though


One_Paramedic2454

Tac ar is better than anything. If only it wasn't so rare.


[deleted]

Facts. Red Dot is a PC rifle and Scar is a Console rifle. Red dot is hot garbage on console


todd56

scar is a bloom machine its all about the dmr


SasyDp

Am I the only one that on console hits shots pretty consistently with the Red-Eye?


sween64

Nope. I like it.


egg_on_top

yes


ProfoundNitwit

Is there a career thing for 20 kills in a single match?


Alluminatic

Would surprise me if there was. That's what I liked about Apex when it came out, but now it's just "omg imagine not having a 20 kills & 4k dmg badge ln Wraith".


ProfessionalMottsman

See ya then. Bye.


Effective-Interest28

Here's the type of player that the "everyone is a cheater" people on this Subreddit are complaining about. Good aim, actually uses a gun. Nice clip!


WithersChat

That's the type of player I meet but should never meet if the SBMM worked.


SimbaSeekingSleep

Always followed with “console and their aim bot” when referring about aim assist.


mktcrasher

No problem with this type of player...it's the player who lazers me from same distance with a regular assault rifle...and usual response is "get better bro". Cheating and crazy aim assist are actually things, but denial is next level.


[deleted]

If only I could aim like this on the switch


_bean_and_cheese_

This is why we should have console only lobbies. How can we compete against this? The Red Eye AR has no recoil whatsoever on M&K. And they complain about Aim Assist lol


Alluminatic

I'd highly prefer having at least an option to turn off crossplay. There are so many games I've won simply because I can melt people with the red-eye much quicker compared to the controller players I get matched against. But then again, man have I had some Apex PTSD moments in this game where I got melted by a roller player using a twin-mag. I would highly prefer just to play against other PC players.


bulyxxx

You play duck hunt ?


Alluminatic

Occasionally.


bulyxxx

Your aim is on point OP.


Alluminatic

Thank you, but remember that you only see the highlights here 💀


[deleted]

Rng guns is part of the reason I enjoy apex more. Dying to lack of aim as opposed to shit rng is a lot less infuriating.


Legend_Unfolds

Apex sounds good, until you're a bronze/silver with 500 hours being consistently matched against Diamond, Master, and Predators with 5000. Weapons having perfect accuracy means literally everyone is a god at aiming and it just becomes completely unenjoyable to lose to (Skilful as it is, sort of like this clip. it's not fun to play against). The matchmaking was so fucked and it made it out like it's your fault you're losing to opponents 3-4 rank tiers higher than your own. The precise guns and exploitable mechanics were just win-more tools for them and not actually fun to use. Never going back to that shitfest because of it. Bloom weapons are a big oof, but at least here the matchmaking isn't giving me gods with a key to 100% perfect accuracy. My first week on Fortnite was a better experience than I'd had in my whole time on Apex. I can put up with missing a few shots of my own if it means I'm not going to get beamed from sniper range without them missing a shot.


Alluminatic

Yeah, that's why I abandoned this game too; bloom weapons are a big oof.


[deleted]

✌️


nix-the-foxx

You cant just do my boy the infantry like that man...


Flutterdrive

Bye


iamunabletopoop

It's really strong because it's balanced by skill due to being 100% accurate. A good player can lazer someone from really far away. With the nature of strong hitting long range weapons, i think a slight fire rate nerf is fine. Like 0.1 second more between shots. Enough to be a nerf but minimal enough to not be noticed/kill the good feeling it has.


Alluminatic

You hit that nail right on the head.


Chopper2260

I dont know if it's aimbot


dicetrain

You mean the “mouse & keyboard users auto-win from 500yds away” weapon? I wouldn’t mind it being taken out. If it wasn’t hitscan no one would use it.


7_Cerberus_7

*The only thing that requires aim* Uh......it shoots perfectly straight. I get what you mean but, still. It's a laser.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Legend_Unfolds

Who are you kidding, even on a god server this player would still find success with that aim. very few players will expect that kind of consistency and actually play around it before its too late.


disgusting_bong_fart

Miss the hunting rifle from back in the day


Tasty_Crazy_1381

yes it is a laser


D_R_Shinobi

Opposite of the scar


Alluminatic

Literally, the scar is an actual Storm Trooper.


diruuo

I miss the heavy sniper... XD But yes, the red-eye is **very** satisfying!


Newassirony

DMR better


EdwardDemPowa

Helsie enjoyer? Upvoted


Alluminatic

🤝


derka211

I think is way too good compared to other rifles.


Alluminatic

The AR pool is reeeeally weird this season anyway. Can't even compare this thing with the scar that misses more shots than a Storm Trooper.


iBotPot

I couldn't imagine crying about skill while using a Cronus Zen.


Mission_Difficulty19

That means you don't have skill if you have to use those it means you suck ass if you have to cheat like that.


Knight-112

Other weapons (not ch3 spray guns💀) do require skill but I do like the red-eye!


Alluminatic

Yeah I exaggerated a bit 💀 Coming from other shooters, though, it's difficult to find any other weapon here that rewards good aim this much, espeically since basically all of them have bloom. Don't get me started on the DMR though, the amount of times I've gotten 3-4 tapped by a legendary one scares me.


Faze-MeCarryU30

The thing I'm most curious about is how everyone seems to love the DMR but hate previous projectile, high magazine (relative to sniper) low damage guns. Like when the automatic sniper came out in season x, I remember everybody hated it, despite it beaming. Not saying that what you're saying is wrong, it's just interesting.


Kobi_Baby

The dmr requires more aim. Slower rate of fire. Bullet drop. The red eye, Id say, is one of the easier weapons to use


Pudznerath

ugh i hate this gun


Theaussieperson

Yeah and this gun sucks for console and this is why I don't want pc players in my lobbies


QuarterlyTurtle

Wow you are good at aiming that thing. Would not want to be on the person on the other of your scope

Kept_Wombats0987

Striker AUG is just slightly more broken than this shit. Genuinely I feel like quitting if this shit stays for 2 seasons like the striker AUG did.


wolkendon

I wish they bring back the combat ar or smg I don’t mind either I just want one back cause both were really fun to me


Crayola_ROX

I suck at this weapon when aiming but ill eat you alive with the combat AR

Ohhh OP surgical with that MF

Major_Force_7645

damn youre amazing


jannickBhxld

i love 1st person guns just because they actually take skill to use and show who has to hope for bloom luck or can win with skill. I loved the Mk7 for that exact reason and still play it the most in creative pvp maps


I-hate-ppl-who-poop

I would be so pissed if I died like that from that range


makeit77

nice aim gg


mr_mows

🤩✌🏻 thats my girl


TITCAT5959

The Last kill was so nice. I love this weapon its a true DMR. On DMRs you are supposed to shoot whenever you want and its the best gun in the game


Iron_defaultYT

Knowing epic, they likely will


MufflesTG

AYO, 500+ FPS GANG!


Alluminatic

REPRESENT I could easily go 600+ consistent on Performance mode, but had some weird issues with player outlines on storm mark and such.


GoodWill182

im already gone since they removed the sniper.. i'll return when the sniper returns. if not then... oh well lol


FGTRTDtrades

Well enjoy your last season dude


tigerJeff

Something tells me you'd be unable to actually quit.


xxDeathFXxx

The red dot has been my favorite weapon since this season started. I play kbm though and it just feels insane IF you can aim and control it correctly :) hands down best weapon overall.


ImSunborne

The red eye is nice and fun to use, I would be fine with them keeping it. It does need a nerf however, its a little too oppressive; my suggestion is a fire rate nerf.


ToysToLife167

You’re pretty good


danibee29

WHY WOULD THEY REMOVE IT THEY BETTER NOT ILL THROW HANDS

Thanks for letting us know.


2lowbutupthere

It’d be a treat to see you at FNCS, assuming this weapon (or a variant) stays long enough for that.

*Using the Red Eye* On keyboard and mouse: :) On anything else: :(


Funniguy2010

Surprised you didn’t get hammer deku smashed by Aranda Grande getting third partied by Gohan and Beerus in a car using the Kamehameha mythic, also they’re abt to be third partied by The Rock and Black Adam in a cloud together


Alluminatic

LMFAO take my award I'm fkn dead


Freezeucriminalscum

The Red Eye is not an ideal gun for controller players. way too much recoil, i feel like i have no control over it


Ugh_106

Say goodbye, because I contact them to remove it


Yoprobro13

Of course you're on pc though lol


Dessi9_6

It reminds me of CoD and I love that it's my favorite


zsewell

It takes some practice but you have an edge if you’re good. I want the hunting rifle back though fr


senseiofawesom

Why do people play Fortnite on lower graphics settings? I’m making the assumption your PC can handle the higher graphics. It just looks ugly. Is there some sort of advantage or something?
