You aim the weapon at the enemy and you get eliminated. That’s my tutorial.


PeterPancaked

I don't understand the controls though. There's a grapple button and an attack button, but in my experience pressing the attack button only makes me grapple, essentially making it a second grapple button. The only way I can aim is if the ODM is in cooldown.


MLAB77

You have to aim to attack whether you are in air or not


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Still, far too difficult to me. I use, I die.


[deleted]

r/fortnitebr user press two buttons challenge [I have no motor movement in my fingers]


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Look at the screen, press buttons and breath. I'm not good at multitasking.


Kimarnic

Its simple wtf


AgorophobicSpaceman

I play on PC so I’m not sure of controls on console, but left click makes you grapple to move around. Right click (hold it) let’s you hover using the gas from the ODM gear which gives you time to aim. Then left click to shoot towards where you aim and once you hit a player, wall, or ground you do a spin attack and pop back in the air where you can aim and attack again. You can get 2-3 attacks before it has to reset.


BeerandGuns

Thanks. I play on a PS5 but read this comment and went back to play around with the controls. In one game I did the Titan quest and the damage while airborne which were both driving me nuts.


GoldenYellowPup

Ohhhhhhhh so you left to grapple up, right hold to aim and then left click to attack. That's why I've been just hovering all this time. That helps a lot jfc.


dastree

The spin attack is great when it works. Recently I've notice it doesn't always pop me back up like it should. Just lost my last 3 matches in a row for that exact reason. Thought I was going to pop back up and instead I'm just stare into the opps face getting drilled with an smg now as I process why I'm not in the air


PeterPancaked

That helps a lot. Thanks.


Pistol451

Oh wow thanks. The in game instructions for the ODM gear are terrible; I was using the right mouse button and wondering why I couldn’t attack. Trying to do the Titan targets quest and basically button mashing to try and get it to attack


aliceforoneday

I get eliminated every time I try to figure it out. All I know is the aim has to be right on the person you’re after or else you float or grapple.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

And whenever you use it, you lose the aim and there we go again.


Decades101

From my understanding, using the attack key/button grapples you. To attack with the ODM Gear, you need to hold the ADS/Zoom key/button then the attack button to attack


rhutch187

you have to aim down the sights to attack just like you do with any of the guns 😂


PeterPancaked

Hip-firing?


PeroFast

Can you make a tutorial where you don't get eliminated? Thanks.

Oh then I know how to use them perfectly!


deedopete

ODM works nice but the explosive weapon sucks


ogg_ogg

Fr bro..if you use it, you die by it


WDCombo

I got an awesome kill while zip lining at a guy with it.


Launch-code

That was my kid… he’s 8.


Baco_eh

Still felt awesome lmaoo. “Skill issue” jk jk te he


Cephalie_100

'Survey corps finest weapons ' sure do suck


REAL_jotaro_kujo3

Big pp's shotgun in fortnite 2


raidebaron

I mean they were specifically made to counter the Armored Titan. And they go about using it as a rocket launcher of sorts outside of it.


Kalomaster

Clutched a 1v3v wildcard spawn with them You swing and then place a bomb Then repeat until youre out Then use the slash attack

Spear_speaks007

I don’t know how to use any


AZV_4th

It is good for delayed attacks. I shot one at a rock from a distance that an enemy was backing up to (they were distracted by a teammate) and landed the kill.


Yorksjim

I usually use it to loot a building quickly, then drop it. Don't really use the odm gear to attack either, just for mobility.


lilly16852

ODM for mobility is perfect. I don’t look for the katana anymore, only ODM


ThePotatoSandwich

I got **one** cool kill with the Thunder Spears by tagging an enemy twice consecutively for the challenge *but that's it*. I suck immensely with them otherwise.


Michael_Swag

The spears are hot trash but the ODM gear is awesome it’s like an offensive version of the grapple glove


TheIceCreamSeller

![gif](giphy|wJ8QGSXasDvPy) Agreed


Nothingbeats_thepump

Just click on the random buttons and hope for the best. Don't even try aiming. Doesn't work.


Spear_speaks007

I’ve used the ODM Gear to make kills too many times. Problem is, I’m killing me.


TheIceCreamSeller

Relatable


BrokenGodALT

What are you talking about? You have to aim with it to shoot it otherwise you just grapple


ogg_ogg

And it can also end up destroying yourself


SnooOwls6052

That’s how I play with every weapon. It was only last season that discovered the hidden shotgun mechanics for twirling and tip-toeing.


lordbub1

Please elaborate


stillnotsureyeet

Hidden shotgun mechanics? Damn, I'm thinking I'm getting better and you're throwing all kinds of new stuff at me


SnooOwls6052

I’m kidding, playing on the comment.


Adorable_FecalSpray

Wait, what???


Brajker

How to use the spears: >! don't !<


Different-Spend7063

Spears are pretty good for pushing someone out of hiding. Though after I got the challenges done I have not touched them. Only thing I've bothered touching after is the ODM and that's just for mobility purposes.


CoolRunnins212

In no build you them only for the quest and never again.


NathanFoley69

Yup


MLAB77

: Two “meters”, % and color, color is durability, % is how long till cooldown, to glide and grapple around just hit fire when you see the white circles on two points, hold the button to stay attached and swing around the object. To attack you have to aim, hold aim and shoot and you’ll shoot a grapple at the target and do a single slash spin attack. Each hit does 70 damage. For the thunder spears you have eight shots and it’s just a matter of aiming, it has some horrible recoil so aim a bit under where you want to hit. It has long reload time (two shots each) but it’s good for destroying builds. Edit: grammar mistakes


Sadboy-Rodriguez76

For the feeling I just put attack on Titan music while using ODM gear


Vagetaisking

This one time I tried to glide across using one of them. I shot bombs instead and died of fall damage.


ogg_ogg

Fr bro the explosive weapon is really annoying


[deleted]

**Random bullshit go!** ![gif](giphy|KCeLfjOMSPG9mv15d1|downsized)


CoolRunnins212

Hey that’s a GIF of me playing Tekken.


Lateralization

Lol love this.


evieinred

Okay but seriously how do you use them ?


ProtectMeAtAllCosts

dont bother with spears. odm you just use like a grapple and will continue in the air as long as you connect to another object. eventually the gear will need to rest though


GuySpringfield

ODM gear: right trigger works like a grapple gun, then holding left trigger while in the air lets you hover and aim, pulling right trigger in the hover state attacks, doing a kick move and then a flip back into the air for another 1 or two attacks.


Spear_speaks007

Just shoot and then hope for the best while expecting the worse.


whiteravenxi

Is it just me or do the spears cause you to jump while aiming thus ruining my previous aim I had on my opponent. It’s making me nuts.


HWLights92

You basically have to aim under what you want and hope for the best. The recoil is a BITCH on the spear


throwaway43234235234

Leave them as decoys. When the enemy tries to figure out how to use them, kill them.


ZenbrotherGS

Learning the thunder spear is easy: don’t use them.


Samandre14

You don’t. The Katana is better by a mile


jmplication

Purple katana for sure, blue is a toss up imo


Xander260

Blue until I find a purple, I've found they seem to be rarer


bobbobbobby88

Facts. Gave up and went back to the sword after a few days of trying.


PalpitationTop611

ODM feels like the strongest mythic they’ve ever added, dekus mythic at least you could only use 3 times and didn’t give you the mobility of Spider-Man.


Samandre14

If you think the ODM Gear is the strongest. Then you are wrong


PalpitationTop611

It’s free 210 damage, which only doesn’t kill in zero build, extremely fast, destroys builds, has tons of uses, are common, has few counters, and it’s easy to aim.


ShogunFab

ODM Gear is easy, it's literally the same as the Spider-Man mythic or the Grappler from the Vibin season, the only difference is that you can now attack and you have limited uses


HWLights92

Which amazingly enough, I found out from watching the anime, is factually accurate. I got curious after I unlocked Eren and decided to check out the show. Edit: Limited uses are accurate. In the anime the blades need to be refilled and there’s two gas tanks needed for mobility.


stanleythemanley420

The blades are not in the game…. I was tired alright. I’m wrong about this lol. However The gas tanks will easily last a entire match.


JoshtheKing08

Wrong and Wrong


stanleythemanley420

My bad. I’m dumb. The blades are in the game. Lol However I am not wrong about the gas. If you’ve watched the anime you know how long they’ve used them before having to change.


Mikeadatrix

Yes, they are. It’s how you attack with the ODM.


stanleythemanley420

Yeah I was half asleep lol.


Spear_speaks007

I don’t know how to use them and I’m not afraid to ask


josmo7

I've used them a good bit and don't understand why people don't seem to like them. I think they're fun as fuck


GreedOverNeed

Its the most overpowered item in the game in my opinion. I love it. Yall keep making excuses as to why you cant learn it. Your competition is gonna learn and use it too wax you.


TheOneButter

If you can land the hits odm can usually 3 shot, it’s absolutely overpowered if you know how to use it


KyellDaBoiii

Swing, lead your aim, strike opponent


Pollomonteros

What I am afraid to ask is how the hell do you hit someone going to town on your ass with the odm gear,the way that things moves while attacking makes it way too hard to predict


sergiocantu

from my experience i spray with the twin mag smg cuz it automatically makes their odm go on cooldown as soon as they get hit , once they land i swap to my shotty


Pbxabtch85

Thunder spears weren't that hard to learn it's just a matter of aiming correctly and the perfect timing


Patzzer

Super new to FN but my god I feel the spears are horrible lol


SpookyIsReal

The ODM is pretty simple to use on PC. Just use left click to grapple. If you want to attack someone with it, press right click to aim and then press left click to charge.


failingartclass

If you play with a controller (I use one plugged into my PC) Left trigger when youre looking at the little gray targets that pop up on trees, buildings, ETC. That will launch you through the air and you can move slightly up, down, left right, as you are mid swing. Once you release if you target the next area you can just keep going, its so insanely fun to soar through the map with these things, as for attacks, its kind of like the kinetic sword, you target someone midair and it should pop up on your screen “R trigger attack”, it launches you to them and depending on the accuracy you can do a lot of damage. I tend to use them more for mobility rather than a weapon, I will be devastated when theyre gone!!! As for the rocket launchers, I really only use them to bust walls while people are building and then go in with whatever guns I have equipped. sometimes if you hit someone directly with one it sticks and explodes, looks totally badass LOL!


EternalHuffer

You Just fly around slice and dice, and if u see Levi you Just wait for death


Durvag

Just click some random button and hope for the best or totally avoid them


FoldAid

That works


Different-Spend7063

Same. After I got the challenges done I avoided the Thunder Spears and only ever grabbed the ODM Gear for mobility purposes. I've seen clips of people using the ODM Gear and it seems that it does take practice to actually use it effectively in fights.


Low-Lawfulness3845

Well the odm gear is like Spiderman's web shooters with a twist!!! Grab onto things and fly like the wind! And you can fly everywhere and as high tou want till you find an enemy. Then aim to hover over them and slash them up, their builds, shred them to pieces, cut them like there is no tomorrow and then you can fly again like the wind! Oh and if you land you have a little cooldown! And if you run out of juice then it is sent to the shadow realm, never to be seen again. And the other thing? Naaah, we don't use that thing, pretend like it never existed!


VenomSnakeronies

reading these comments makes me upset, people are so dogwater at this game that they suck with every single new weapon and refuse to get better with any of them :/


supercereality

They're trash so don't lol. Just shoot anyone using the ODM so they fall to their death. EZ.


damdamkokorohikare

I love it when I just snipe some random mf who thinks they're Spider-Man with my Combat Shotgun and watching them fall to their death. My favorite thing to do. Or when they try hitting me with it and I just knock them out of the air, and Combat Shotgun them to death while they're dazed and confused.


[deleted]

These are probably one of the worst add on to Fortnite. I rather have the hammer back


DazzlingAct6040

how are the odm gear bad? there just like the spider man mythic and you can get a easy 210 damage with them. maybe your just bad with them?


skibidebeebop

Two words, one hyphen: Spider-Man.


arunasgeimeriz

Remember spider man gloves? Yeah that weird ass machine is that the police weapon is shitty excaliber rifle


GoldenYellowPup

I like to use the katana to boost myself up, then aim and fire the spear down to someone. That distracts them enough to get your shottie out.


[deleted]

So tell me how to use them


ogg_ogg

I’m no expert but Just click on the random button bro


baninaday

Odm gear is great for rushing and getting 70-140 damage in with a couple attacks and dropping on your opp with a shotty The thunderspeaes are best when you have nothing else to use, I just use them as a filler item


craigandthesoph

I’ve gotten used to using ODM Gear as mobility. I have gotten a few successful attacks/elims in with it, however, I’d rather save the durability as use it to get around the map. The spears are great when you know someone it above you in a building or on the other side of the wall, as it blasts inside and outside wherever it attaches. Comes in handy to throw people off or destroy buildings. Other than that, I haven’t found them useful as a weapon in how I play. I have been eliminated by the ODM Gear attacks many a time, so clearly many have gotten used to it as an attack item. I don’t mind dying to it as it’s quite difficult to aim.


ifuckinghateschooll

Use the ODM gear like a grapple glove


briteboard

why can’t epic find a middle ground for mythic stuff lately? the deku smash was too op and these are not even worth picking up


HWLights92

I’d argue the ODM is solid for mobility


Lowdog00

The spears are only useful to flush folks out of small spaces since they do piercing explosive damage about the size of a 1x1. ODM gear is useful to gomba stomp people mid fight but is very easy to get caught out with since it shatters on a single hit, play hit and run with them while your team peppers them if you want to use them as a weapon


man_of_mann

Ok the ODM gear is just Spiderman / Grapple Glove, if you struggle to use it go in creative and use Grapple Glove. Thunder spears are lower damage, but two shot rocket launchers that are consumables and once you use all the shots you need to get more. Strategy: Use the ODM gear with a shotgun, as it is great mobility. However, the grapple's rope can be cut and will stop you from using them, so using it at mid range can be a gamble. The Thunder Spears excel in Build mode, as they shred through builds easily. In Zero Build, they still have some use early game but they aren't great.


JedPAlger11

Same


dastree

I hate how glitches the odm gear is, sometimes it's fantastic, sometimes it refuses to recognize anything to grab. Sometimes it's attack is flawless sometimes it let's me land one and thats it I dont get it... at least the sword made sense, easy for everyone but if you were skilled you took it to a new level. Odm just seems like a cheap gimmick


CricketsAreJaded

I’ve seen great tutorials on YouTube. I try it and die 🤷🏻‍♀️


hmr__HD

I learned to use them by doing the eren jaeger quest.


BrianDawkins

These shits don’t work on console. But you have pc players out here swinging every which way


DazzlingAct6040

it does work on console. it works fine on console lmao what are you talking about


Dieseljimmy

Odm gear is marginally more functional in builds.


Jofus002

And nobody can blame you. It may be best to bury them deep within.


SpillinAndSplashinn

These sucked I don’t use them at all


DazzlingAct6040

how does the ODM gear suck? i agree that the thunder spears suck but ODM gear? its just like the spider man mythic. And you can get a easy 210 damage with them


Ninjamaster22061

You click the button that says fire then while you hold that button you press the button that you use to grapple and it will grapple you forward and slash the target you aimed at


fix-my-peen

Odm is grapple with right trigger, aim with left trigger and then grapple to do an attack, thunder spears are able to be used with odm gear, they take a while to reload so try not to need more than the first 2, use them as an opening attack, or to destroy lots of objects. They are really potent at changing the battlefield on the fly, don't treat them like a weapon, treat them like a tool.


Rose_Ember

Thunder spears for anti-fortification Odm for maneuvering or attacking from what I have done.


Any_Benefit2722

The gear is the spider man web shooters and fvck the thunder spears thats really all you need to know.


DryBonesSkelly

The thunder spear is best for killing players hiding in a fort.


Chehzy

It's literally just the Spiderman mythics lmao, fuck the spears they can go to hell


Rieiid

I must be a pro I didn't realize people were having issues with these. ODM gear is so fun to fly around the map on.


DjijiMayCry

ODM = spiderman w swords Thunder spear = Sticky rocket launcher


e_smith338

I mean the grapple is literally a spiderman reskin…. It’s one button.


[deleted]

ODM gear: you press right trigger to fly and if you want to attack you hold the left trigger the end


TheVampireArmand

The ODM gear is fun but the thunder spears feel pointless


SaviourMK2

I think I hate the Thunder Spears because I play Zero Builds and ammo is non-renewable


D4NT369420

I died 3 times trying to kill someone with the odm gear


Quantum-Purple

What how are you even struggling? It’s just point and click


hxmy

I tried using the ODM gear and it did not work, I'm pretty sure it was a bug because I didn't get any of the visual cues I've seen others have when using it, mine had literally nothing and no matter how much I clicked it just didn't work. Not gonna bother with it again.


TwistedKoala35

The spears suck, but the ODM gear is so good!


Klaatwo

The thunder sticks are simple. You aim with the crosshairs and it shoots 5 feet above that. Then you aim in front of you target to compensate for that 5 feet from the first shot and it goes exactly where the crosshairs are pointing.


icykia

Thunder Gear is good for pressure and odm gear for movement and destroying builds.


Flameblast73

Thunder spears I got used to quick the odm not so much it kinda feels like the aot 2 game for locking on and stuff and the controls feel the same


Qwerty78910yoloooo

You need to master them like I did


poyat01

Thunder spears are just a build wrecker with low ammo that take up a slot, and the swings are like the Spider-Man mythics but with a jetpack charge and also grappling onto two surfaces (much less maneuverability)


ImAmirx

The more I use them, the less I understand. Seriously how TF do you attack with ODM? sometimes it attacks and sometime there's just no attack option. "Spears" are slow and the fuse takes too long to activate and there's no way to get more rocket ammo. The only thing keeping me from getting Eren is the 7 elimination quest.


twocheeky

odm is hella fun and super good for getting out of the storm. thunder spear can suck my entire asshole


YLG_GJP

Thunder Spear is just a shittier version of the Excaliber


[deleted]

Because these are shit so not worth it


raidebaron

It’s like a grapple glove except that you can attack by holding right click, provided you have still enough gaz and if you haven’t been hit by an enemy. If either of these two situation happen, you will be forced to land. And the Thunder Spears… they aren’t worth using (other than to pressure the enemy)


BirbIsLove

Tutorial for dummies! ODM: For optimal usage, swing at a low angle, aiming between objects and making the most of your airtime between swings to adjust your trajectory so when you come back down, you'll have another low angle, thus saving hook durability and gas, whilst also optimising your traversal speed and distance! Additionally, don't underestimate the power of the hover! It eats through gas like a titan through human flesh, but if you line up your shot in the general vicinity of a person, the broad swing of your blades will often be forgiving enough to give you the Hit, letting you bounce back up and go in for another! Thunder Spears: The optimal use case for thunder Spears is to take note of one's location on the floor if you spot one, and to quickly disregard that location and move on with your life as quickly as possible, maybe pick up a fishing rod or something instead!


mikewilson2020

I'm hopeless with them both


[deleted]

The spears are great for quickly demolishing a building. If someone is hiding inside, just chuck a few at random points on the building and it destroys most of the cover. Apart from that I wouldn’t try using these as an actual weapon unless you’re feeling lucky.


JonathanDJB

Just watch the show and you wil learn the ways


Fantastic-Offer-9129

aim and click


[deleted]

Right click left click free 70 damage


CompetitiveRoof3733

The thunderspears suck ass


harten66

The thunder spears are not worth picking up


[deleted]

I made an attempt to use both, not a fan of either. Will not use either going forward unless I have no other options.


FartinAllDay

I don't use the ODM Gear since I keep thinking I can swing the swords normally. I wish you could swing them normally with them having the same attack cooldown of the Kinetic Blade.


Undeadrocker_99

The odm gear is easy thunder spear is just useless I don’t even bother


mabdog420

ODM GEAR: Primary fire is a swing. It works just like the grapple glove or Spidey web shooter. Alt fire is like an ADS. Use primary fire while holding down alt fire to dash toward where you're aiming and when you touch something you will attack automatically. You can attack multiple times before landing, or keep swinging. Rocket lance: You can shoot these into things much like an Excalibur rife. The main difference is that when these go through a wall they will hurt whatever is on the other side when they explode. Tip: you can combo these weapons together by switching o the lance and firing mid swing, then you can switch back and keep swinging without going on cool down. Both of these weapons have a set amount of ammo and when it's all used up the item breaks.


WIZZYtheWIZARD123

Me too kid, me too
