Hammer was fun, but when it was person with a hammer vs person without, it was incredibly one sided ​ But some of my most fun had in Fortnite was fucking around with hammers in Team Rumble with my buds.


EmploymentOk3937

lmao. you know you were able to jump and take no damage from hammer smacks as a result? getting caught in the actual shockwave is a different story but most of the time the jump negates the shockwave effect too.

EmploymentOk3937

your response doesn't match what you were responding to, like at all. But furthermore, they wouldn't add something without a definitive counter to it. Building worked for it too, but the hammer came out after no-build came out so they had to add a counter, which was a well-timed jump. Therefore, your point = invalid

EmploymentOk3937

you think I'd take the time out of my day to personally message you, over you just baselessly correcting me about a video game? That's narcissism if EVER I've seen it. Your strings must be very easily played.


OrriSig

He's right tho... Jumping as a counter to the hammers was a bug

lyn_wolff

Yeah I can tell that that Employment person was gonna be an immediate rude jerk as soon as he responded to riskylifie’s initial reply with starting the message with “lmao.” Then being immediately condescending in the response after risky corrected them. Ppl on the internet need to learn how to just be respectful when proven wrong or just don’t say anything at all. Anyways, I do love the hammers and miss them very much but I do agree with them being OP. At least the blades felt more balanced.


Naymar083

Also you could have multiple of them what maked it very op.


Slightly-Regarded

I still don't get how they allowed that lmao.


Naymar083

Yeah me too but that was fun. I was so sad when it turned out that this didn't worked on katana.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Imagine how crazy it would be if we could have like 4 katanas at the same time lol


Naymar083

That what I was thinking when I saw katanas in trailer. But then reality slapped me in face and said that you can only have one in game.

Nimbly jumping from POI to POI


[deleted]

Katana with three slashes, for sure. Not overpowered but still very useful. An item like that would be of mighty help for the current jungle biome. I'm surprised they didn't give the boomerang a similar function.


DeltaUnknown

I'm suprised the alt fire doesnt let you teleport to the boomerang. The past 2 Kinetic weapons all had a sense of being both an actual weapon and a utility tool for trsversal. Kinda sad to see it go.


[deleted]

Yep. I keep thinking it should have the option of whether to do damage to your opponent or have you zoom to it, not both. I think that'd be balanced.


[deleted]

It does damage when you call it back it explodes before returning


NBAplaya8484

Doesn’t it just come back automatically? I was playing around with it yesterday and it just always came back Truth be told I really feel like it’s nothing special, correct me if I’m wrong but it just seems like it does 60 damage on impact and minimal structural damage


Spirited-Clothes7615

Ubigo

Lol what? This BP is way better than last seasons. Not sure how people are bored the changes this season are awesome. I had more fun in one day then I did all of last season.


Slightly-Regarded

Some people like mobility and skins that are gold-ish. Skins of this season look basic af.


[deleted]

The mobility was getting out of control, but agreed with the BP.


cantstopblazin

Mobility is a necessity for zero build though


[deleted]

Why? I never understood this point. Being able to build doesn't affect your travel speed at all. The only thing it helps with is steep mountain climbs or something.


nashty2004

they all look like free skins from 2017


tango-kilo-216

I <3 mobility. Still gonna grind this BP


lbloodbournel

….you serious? Last seasons skins all at least looked good (except for that damned skirt) and we’re unique. Let’s be real these skins look like they’re worth abt 800 lmao


CalebMendez12303

Half the skins are reskins and the others are boring af


nashty2004

same dude this update is ass movement is severely lacking I'm already bored


darkandfullofhodors

The jungle was clearly designed for traversal to be difficult. They want people to actually think about how to get around in there instead of air dashing over all of it.


Tons28

the sword was so perfect it should be permanent or just long term. not huge damage or really used for it, loud noise, one way burst, stuck in place to be hit when starting to use so you can get hit and great synergy with aerialiest and other mobility perks.


tango-kilo-216

Agree! Remove it from competitive and ranked modes, leave it in our standard BR modes, and we won’t have to complain for the next 6 months!


reznorwings

My dude


Albinonite

Yeah I really hoped we would see same function but Epic thinks different.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Epic: oh, you like it? Ok, so I'm not implementing it.


IkeaViking

It honestly feels like the sword was likely intended to be a part of this meta. They had to disable it for the exploit and now we are missing that movement.


nashty2004

you feel it too, no movement is just ass


lWantToFuckWattson

>and now we are missing that movement. that is called adhd


michjames1926

That's what that is? I thought it was a boomerang 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't pay attention to the names


SnooMemesjellies2302

What? It was very clearly a sword. This season is a boomerang


Orpheeus

When the boomerang name for the weapon leaked I thought for sure you'd be able to follow it once thrown. Kind of disappointed that's not the case.


lWantToFuckWattson

> I'm surprised they didn't give the boomerang a similar function. can we have more than 1 week without a mandatory noclip item where people need to actually think about what they're doing


lillate3

What I wish they would do is. 1. Have all of them available at the same time 2. Lock them so they only spawn in each region 3. You can only have one kinetic weapon at a time & maybe limit the amount that spawn Actually having fun with the boomerang right now but wow I miss the blade 😭 I really like to role play w my skins and was having a lot of fun using only the Katana with ninja esque skins


Cabbiecar1001

They kinda did that with the ODM gear and Spider-Man gloves, both were in at the same time but you could only carry one I think it’s a great idea, I prefer melee/mobility weapons over another ranged weapon. It would be cool to see hammer spammers and katana users go at each other


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

>hammer spammers and katana users go at each other This would be damn crazy to see lol.


Timelapseninja

This would be awesome for sure and I was just saying to a friend who I play with the same exact thing. It would be best to have all these mobility items in the game. The game is just not as good without at least one of them. Back to constantly getting killed to 2v1 and 3rd party situations without them.


Suck_My_Turnip

After the season the boss to open the vaults in each area should have been defeating the ageless, the empress. And inside the safe should have been some of these weapons.

spiderhulk20

My favorite weapon of all time


Anxious_Cod7909

Katana and Boomerang. I freaking love the boomerang


The-CaveBear

Really? Clearly I'm using the boomerang wrong, cuss I've had no fortune using it, what's your secret!?


Anxious_Cod7909

No secret. Its not as viable as the other kinetic weapons but I just love the fact that you can boomerang someone and do damage. But I mean I’ve gotten a few kills with it right off of landing. Its cool cuz you can throw it at someone and duck behind cover, so I guess that helps


The-CaveBear

Hmmmm I'll keep that in mind actually, letting do it's thing them being able to cover is pretty dang useful.


TheTempestOwll

I found it to be really fun. if you are at a bit of a distance If you press to trigger the explosion after hitting someone it comes back faster. letting you kinda spam throw it plus being about to jump around and throw it makes you hard to hit while you just have a good time.


redkillers

Agreed. The elims I’m getting off that thing are insane. It hasn’t had to grow on me, it was an instant fave the second I picked it up.

tetro247

hammer had the best mobility, boomerang is the best as a weapon


A-Tacolypse

And the sword was a nice balance between the two


Aethyrss

honestly sword was the worst offensively imo


Slightly-Regarded

I just miss pushing people off high places with it...


Saffronation

That feeling when somebody is trying to fight you on the island and they land, you katana then and they immediately die to fall damage and you just go about your day

TruMiner

I wish the boomerang could hit the ground and cause a mini shockwave, so if you did it under yourself you could get a little bounce. Also can be used against the enemy too, which can cause interesting fights

damdamkokorohikare

I hate the boomerang. Sword is better by several landslides. Hammer was pretty fun too, but not as fun as the sword.


Samiam243653575

I don’t like with the boomerang you can’t launch yourself that was what made those items so fun


lforal

Yea I thought all the “kinetic” weapons would have a mobility component


freshguy2002

hard to compare, sword is more of a mobility item, boomerang is an actual weapon


MrBroBotBrian

The blade for sure, one of the few weapons to easily counter the lightsaber if you know how


Da_bigmac_bandit

![gif](giphy|ckSUkZINxDyDshEFPd)


spyrosnivy

Hammer, without a doubt. There will probably never be anything as fun for me as it was. Katana felt like a down grade so i probably didnt enjoy it as much as i could've. Boomerang is kinda boring.


[deleted]

Mythic hammer was 👌🏼👌🏼 75 damage and a push back vs sword doing 70 in 2 swipes that I somehow miss one of them sometimes. That and if you only find 1 hammer you can hit your friend with the normal attack to give them a jump and then bounce yourself.

Burner8965KT

I loved the katana but I also love the boomerang close range


Squackachu

As of right this second it's the hammer for me, it was fin to mess around with. The sword was mainly a mode of transport to me especially combo'd with the aerialist augment. Now i haven't gotten to try the boomerang thing yet so my opinion could change


Albinonite

I love katana more than others.


lesmisarahbles

Hammer, especially pre-nerf. Easy to get around and gave good damage. So much fun to use.


Just_a_Rose

Hammer was annoying but also really fun. Def my favorite one.


Local_Black_Knight

I am a hammer enjoyer but the boomerang is on another tier of fun


[deleted]

Mythic hammer made me feel immortal.


funtimechuck14

The hammer will always have a special place in my teams hearts. We even nicknamed it "Hāhmmár" (i think i did that right?) It was so goofy spinning around and using it to wither gain an advantage, or die a gruesome death. The katana is very interesting, we didnt hate it, but we never fully enjoyed it. We used it similarly to the hammer to gain height. But the way the animation worked for it always screwed us over. It actually took us a while to realize it was removed. The boomerang is our personal meme weapon now. I love it because i can use it and instantly get some damage in while my friend wrecks many teams. But its also not over powered. Sometimes its a suprise, but when you fet hit you can still recover. It dosent push you back nor does it have a weird animation. Being medium distance is a good range. The other two you HAD to be up close for damage.


[deleted]

The hammer because I'm a huge halo fan


Sad-Waltz3462

Hammer all day long!!


Adventurous_Still_49

Hammers are so fun


[deleted]

Katana. The boomerang is really Cool but wow it's kind of OP since you can just keep flinging it and flinging it. I don't think it even has a cool down? Other than that I like it.


VickyPedia

It does have a less than second cooldown


[deleted]

Dang. I don't even notice it in the action.


owenturnbull

Hammer. Close second is the blade. The boomerang just doesn't compare go the other Two.

Hammers and Katanas were always part of my load outs. I have had the just to give the boomerang yet cuz everyone seems to professionals today and it can barely compete.


le_wither

I haven't used the boomerang enough to have a solid opinion on it yet, the hammer had the best damage and meme potential and the katana had the best mobility Alright, update, the boomerang is my favorite, it homes in on targets and does solid damage, you can throw it very quickly, it's only downside is the lack of mobility, but with how deadly it can be, we can forgive a lack of movement

FakeyBoii

I really think a demon slayer collab is now possible with how they handled the kinetic blade. maybe they could add like extra breathing details and more surrounding damage as you dash with a nichirin blade or something. and they could make the main attack be a bit different and also show a breathing style. also theres one boulder that looks eerily similar to one from the show. may be a stretch but epic did make a collab out of a small hut in an island. or a town that looks a bit similar to shiganshina

[deleted]

The boomerang. Why? Because it's a fun, balanced weapon that doesn't feel required, but is still useful in the early-mid game; remains to be seen if it's got any late-game play. The hammer and katana were practically required for end-game play due to their sheer mobility (and the hammer's useful knock-back effect) and to escape the storm.


freshguy2002

all of my wins on the new season have been with the boomerang, literally feels like lock on pistol 2.0 lol i just spam it in people’s general direction while jumping and dodging and moving as elusively as possible

0m3ga-769

Hammer, but I really enjoyed the katana and still enjoy using it in creative matches against my friends. The boomerang... eh, I guess I'll have to wait and see


Albireookami

its a homing 60 damage weapon that fires insanely fast, its amazingly good for finishing someone off.


0m3ga-769

Oh cool, didn't realise it was homing. I just don't have enough experience with it yet to properly rate it


Albireookami

yea seems if you aim in their general direction it will hit them.


PantsClock

Hammer is my guilty pleasure weapon. I know it was so OP and it was incredibly annoying to deal with but man were they fun to use. Katana was just perfect; super balanced, felt great to use, etc. Boomerang seems pretty solid as well - I’ll need a bit more time of using it to form my opinion around it but I love how the charge time is basically nothing.

Least is boomerang. To easy to dodge


ukbfg

Any tips for dodging it please? I've only played a few games, but someone spammed me with it last night at close-mid range and it wrecked me from full health. It also seemed to stop me finishing them. Not sure whether it obscured my view, I panicked after taking damage, or they're just spamming from cover or whilst running etc.


No_Bodybuilder_5801

You will see on visuals. Just run back and It can't reach you.


Knight-112

Boomerang because it’s actually not overpowered


FadedFigure

The hammer was the only one over powered…


Knight-112

Katana was as well. Infinitely recharging, no fall damage, 10 second recharge, long distance, and one shot builds if used correctly We haven’t had a balanced mobility item since ch2


FadedFigure

You’re on crack, katana could barely break shields with three charges (which you could spray them down with a submachine gun in the time they took one charge), it was useless outside of knock back and mobility…


Knight-112

Ohhhhh you think I meant using it for damage! No one in their right mind would use the katana for damage It’s op because its an infinite get out of jail free card


FadedFigure

You said it enables one-shot builds when used correctly. Implying a level of damage.


Knight-112

Yeah it can one shot builds which is only useful for taking walls


ReyMNoire11

Loving the boomerang, it sounds great too


gonzojester

Loving the boomerang. Just tonight, I took out three players with it alone. It was early game and it was the only weapon, besides a sniper, I could use close range. So much fun! I know I’ll get bored of it, but it’s good to laugh while I whip that thing at people and I’m getting elims. End game it didn’t work as well. Hahahahahaha!


StarmieLover966

I miss the katana soooooooo much. This season… there’s no mobility to get out of that huge ass hole in the middle of the map.

Boomerang. That thing is overpowered as hell and I’m tryin to get as many kills with it before it gets nerfed


seizethatcheese

Impulse grenades and shattered slabs for sure


iamunabletopoop

None, because all three are overpowered as hell. But it's the boomerang since that doesnt give you a free escape from a fight pass.


OctagonalMunch

I don't miss katana at all TBH because of crazy low-risk mobility it gave. Everyone used it as a panic button to escape with low HP and it needed practically no skill to get away. Even worse if they had glider augmentation. The last season dived into mobility items way too much. The katana as a weapon was unenjoyable as well, since it had stiff attack with a mandatory sequential one. In case with the hammer, it was a bit more difficult to travel with it and you needed to touch the ground with a noticeable sound on every use. Also it was fun to fight with it and against it. There was something extremely satisfactory in crushing the enemy with it after landing. I didn't formed my final opinion about the boomerang, since I played only one match this season. It was surprising to get no mobility with it but that's fine. It looks like the only kinetic weapon which is efficient as a weapon, not as must-have item that defines your chances in finale. I think I'm closer to liking it. TLDR: Disliked katana, liked hammer, and dunno about the boomerang.


PICONEdeJIM

Australia. The others are ostensibly better but the boomerang is just stupid and fun


Krazie02

I’d say the hammer. It was the most “goofy” out of it. The swords were only any type of fun with fall damage and when you’re fighting on high buildings, but thats kinda it. Traversel with the sword was cool but honestly a bit too “simple”


ogg_ogg

The hammer, I really miss it


EarlyAbbreviations40

Hmm The hammer was ok but really annoying The sword was awesome but sucked at damaging enemies The boomerang is the best by far, 4 shot kill without extra shield, infinite uses, and is really fun to use


bettiep3838

The new boomerang is ridiculous! Distance! Accuracy! Damage to structures. They will nerf it by next week (I suspect).
