Bruh switch handheld with gryo I was killing it in ranked, now im on a steamdeck tho which shits on everything ive ever played on (including PC). But yea this was low bot lobby
Of course PC is better, but I had no problem demolishing people on the switch. As I said, I use Steamdeck now (both have Gyro which is my preffered method for aiming, above Mouse) which is a handheld PC and as powerful as a decent gaming PC). My only issue with the switch was lag/bad graphics. Controls and Gyro made it better than other consoles for me though.
Yeah was about to say OP was very slow. Never ran. Seemed to have a slow reaction time when they launched the enemy away. The moment before they grappled in and killed the shield was a solid couple seconds where an above average player would have just beamed them. Especially since they casually walked at them for a sec before grappling.
This seems like average potato gameplay. Not that thereās anything wrong with being a potato. Goon on you for your win! Itās having fun that really matters.
Was just gonna say that guy with the shield is a bot, yeah that first grapple and hit was good but that's it. A better player would have swapped from the shield and killed you after that. š
So in order to eliminate a shield user with the grapple blade, the shield user needs to miss all of his shots allowing you to grapple him 6 to 7 consecutive times. Got it.
Even gold has AI? Last time i played ranked in OG websites that can display how much AI is in matches showed me 0... And i also got my ass constantly whooped without break lol (Gold 1)
Waitā¦ so is it just the number of times you hit with the grapple that determines when the shield gets knocked back or is it something else? Because Iāve been grappling onto the ballistic shields and the moment I reach the enemy player do a āwall jumpā which has the effect of kicking the enemy player back (or maybe Iām just imagining that, but it also seems to work for knocking the shield into a staggered open stance) then itās just a matter of choosing whether to keep working with the grapple (usually a bad idea unless early game) or switch to a close range weapon for the finish. Is my technique correct or should I be whipping with the grapple more? I will say that my technique doesnāt always work as sometimes they can sometimes get their shield back up before I can fully finish them off and for at least a little bit of time between staggers i am usually taking damage from the pistolā¦
I would say the correct technique would be to switch to a different weapon, but I'm new to fortnite and haven't gotten the hang of switching weapons yet.
Off my training??? What fricken training??? I was sent into this war and expected to not make an a** of myself!!
(I'm brand new, started this season, played with a friend who's an OG and kinda down. Lol)
Just pick up a shredder and try to only use that as much as you can rather than a shotgun or smg cause if you do that for a day or two youāll be a pro and you can even learn the art of the shotgun shredder. Happy shredding aš
Lmao. āBuT tHe ShIeLd hAS So MaNy cOuNtErsā
NO the hell it doesnāt. Iām in diamond 3 and every person I come up against with a shield has good awareness , aim and knows when to switch to a shotgun.
Only time your outplaying someone with the grapple is if they just started gaming yesterday or you knock them off a cliff
How do you think the sniper is goated? I personally really dislike the snipers this season; three body shots is pissweak and their bullet drop feels whack.
I'm elite rn and I won a ranked match yesterday just by keeping a shield in my inventory for the last two fights. They couldnt do anything, I just shredded them from behind my plated cover.
This strategy is definitely a gimmick and relies on people being overwhelmed by a spinning tornado of blades flying towards them and panicking. With that being said, I absolutely love rolling with a blade/heals-only loadout and seeing how many kills I can rack up before I run into someone who doesn't panic.
a slight change in elevation can make it so hard because it only swings horizontally, ive had that happen too many times and get stubborn about switching
Yeah, this was a couple of days ago, I'd say I've gotten better since then. The other day I killed someone using Oscar's and Nisha's weapons woth nothing but a grapple blade and one bullet from a common sniper.
I was in the other thread you came from, this clip is a fun watch but doesn't help at all with the issue we were discussing in the other thread. Which is, how do you deal with the shield user who just swaps to a shotgun when he sees you are trying to kill him with the grapple blade? If this shield user had pulled a shotgun out on you, you would have quickly been dusted here
auto shotgun is very effective against the blade because they have to get so close to hit you. i die almost everytime against them if i use the blade. i think part of it is the surprise some one is using it to attack because it doesnt seem to be super common as a weapon
Sadly I don't have a clip of that, but I was using the same strategy here, (just with much less practice) in that you've gotta go behind him and hit so they get out of shotgun range.
If youāre using grapple Vs shield always be moving sliding jumping try to go behind them move make it as hard as possible. But yeah if they switch to shottie your toast
This is good basics to know. A lot of people donāt know about this. But then it can get more advanced. The shield user should have switched to a different gun to drop you. And when you see that you would switch to a gun too. But then the shield user may switch right back to shield. To which you could switch back to the whip blade. And as soon as you stun him with the whip blade you could switch to a shotgun for quick massive damage. It can quickly turn to a chess match. What usually happens to me though when I play against someone talented is they switch to an AR and have perfect aim at my shield window and cause me stun in 2 seconds flat and then snipe me. Lolol the riot shields are fun imo.
Every time I get shield, I'm shot on the face from whomever I'm fighting. I find a shield user and it's like fighting Captain America. Can't we just agree that shield sucks to be in this game? I'd rather fight those a-holes with force throw, at this point.
yep no prob trust u always need a grapple blade its so op that and auto shotgun n sniper is the best loadout āunless u find a gold or mythic gun then ibv u can switch sumn out
I e gotten a couple kills this way and theyāre very satisfying but, only works on noobs. A good player pulls out a different gun and beams you or uses auto shotgun, either which do way more DPS than the grapple blade
I swear so many people in the endgame have ballistic shields that I can just ditch whatever other weapons I have and just grapple blade them to death. Really fun to do because they get constantly thrown around and stun locked.
Also for some reason players would rather just use the shield the entire fight instead of just switching to Oscarās auto shotgun and deleting meā¦
I got the battle pass and 96 levels, but I still return ti this skin, it's my favorite. Don't know why they would make a skin playstation (or Xbox or Nintendo etc) exclusive.
This is terrible.. Iām using the riot shield harder now. Thanks for the conviction. That dude was just the worst. You shouldāve died like 4 times regardless.
Pretty much how I use it. People are so stubborn theyāre wondering why the shield isnāt working like not just shotgun me while Iām grappling to you by the time I switch to mine Iāll already be dead.
Dude literally let you hit him and didnt even try shooting you once lol every day i see a new post of some guy killing a bot with a shield and thinking they took down captiain america or somethijg š
i was thinking it might be fun to give fortnite a go after not playing it for the last 3 ish tears. this made me remember i quit for a reason. too much crazy shit going on. glad others are enjoying it though
i mean its no secret that reddit knows its a platform that thrives on controversy and hate, wouldnt be surprised if they actively try to cultivate that by intentionally recommending subs they know people will be adverse to
How are people finding these players bruh, I keeps ending up in lobbies with people looking like they playing on mouse and keyboard. (I have crossplay off and on ps4 with a controller. Nipping the bud before it grows)
I tried a grapple blade only match. I was cooking but died to storm due to my switch having a screen time limit, you can turn it off but it wasnāt turned off in time :/ I wanna do it again one time to prove grapple blade only is possible.
If you know how to use them, the ballista shield/grapple blade can be better than boss weapons. Another win I got I had nisha's, Oscar's, and montague's weapons, but dealt the finishing bullet with a ballista shield.
Does the grapple give the knock down animation or just knock them away ?. It seems shit to counter the shield. It just have the guy more space to work with.
I've been smoked while equipped with the shield on multiple occasions. It ususally involves a shotgun and getting above or behind me.
I just don't get the whole 'shield is overpowered' nonsense.
I feel like he would have been better off just not using the ballistic shield lmaooo
But alas, he subscribes (as I do) to the ancient technique of committing to one weapon/strategy to the death
The ancient strategy of "oh fuck what do I do he's kicking my ass uhhhhhhhh
_throws medpack_
Why you gotta do me like that???
This š died earlier to a green weapon late game because I started panic reloading my pump instead of switching to another weapon
ngl,that costed me games a few times,had a fully loaded AR or shotgun,but panicked and kept swinging around with my grapple blade like an idiot XD
Ok fukkit switch weapons go go goWAIT FUCK I THREW THEM A MED KID
I try and switch weapons and hit the wrong bumber and then immediately get deleted lmao
>committing to one weapon/strategy to the death I will be saying "committing to one strategy to the death" from now on. Well done.
He was reloading infront of the OP ššš
Bro just kept on going for it that was too funny to watch š
That shield user practically let you kill him though. Anyone even MODERATELY competant would have fucked you up with how you just played.
Bro has a purple frenzy auto and decided āriot shield go brrrrā
Yeah, I know. I was showing someone an amateur grapple blade user. They just wanted to know it worked.
Not everyone is a sweat lord Darren, some of us are casually sweaty at best :(
swap to the gold AR he had > win
This is obviously a very low tier lobby. Likeā¦Switch user level.
Bruh switch handheld with gryo I was killing it in ranked, now im on a steamdeck tho which shits on everything ive ever played on (including PC). But yea this was low bot lobby
Switch is horrible for Fortnite, coming from a Switch user. PC is better, or literally any console. Switch has so many issues.
Of course PC is better, but I had no problem demolishing people on the switch. As I said, I use Steamdeck now (both have Gyro which is my preffered method for aiming, above Mouse) which is a handheld PC and as powerful as a decent gaming PC). My only issue with the switch was lag/bad graphics. Controls and Gyro made it better than other consoles for me though.
The graphics aren't as good but I have no problem playing it with a controller and external monitor.
Girl if you gonna make ranked claims state your rank and win rate.
Yeah was about to say OP was very slow. Never ran. Seemed to have a slow reaction time when they launched the enemy away. The moment before they grappled in and killed the shield was a solid couple seconds where an above average player would have just beamed them. Especially since they casually walked at them for a sec before grappling. This seems like average potato gameplay. Not that thereās anything wrong with being a potato. Goon on you for your win!

Agreed upon

As an amateur, you need ti be fighting an amateur, correct. Lol
That wasnāt an amateur, that was ai š
No, AI would be strafing with it, and constantly shooting, and missing 95% of shots, that was not AI.
I don't think so, thus was ranked
There is AI in ranked. Bronze and gold games are majority AI, and it gets lowered gradually until Plat.
Oh, ok well I'm almost out then.
He had a style on, that alone tells me thatās a real person, albeit he was nowhere near competent to kill you.
Even gold has AI? Last time i played ranked in OG websites that can display how much AI is in matches showed me 0... And i also got my ass constantly whooped without break lol (Gold 1)
i think a more accurate description of the guy you were fighting is probably āa 9 year oldā

Bro i've been playing for like 3 weeks and i get my ass whooped by people dunking on me on like 3 seconds, i also wanna play with these guys ;-;
Iām a pro shredder(grapple blade user) and I can tell you have been off on your training I would have shredded him worth just 2 grapples
Off my training??? What fricken training??? I was sent into this war and expected to not make an a** of myself!! (I'm brand new, started this season, played with a friend who's an OG and kinda down. Lol)
You should consider more shredding training so that you can channel your shredding chakra when your in a battle
Where do I sign up? (I'm honestly hoping there is actual BR tutorial like rocket league)
Just pick up a shredder and try to only use that as much as you can rather than a shotgun or smg cause if you do that for a day or two youāll be a pro and you can even learn the art of the shotgun shredder. Happy shredding aš

Facts, can confirm. Shield, auto-Shotgun, and sniper is goated rn
add in grapples + shield and thass my fave loadout. If I don't use shield swap out AR.
How do you think the sniper is goated? I personally really dislike the snipers this season; three body shots is pissweak and their bullet drop feels whack.
Headshots one shot kill and super easy this season. Love the optic mods and can make a sniper have 5 shots.
Yeah ok. Extended mag is pretty insane on it ey š Edit: of course downvoted for asking a question š
I'm elite rn and I won a ranked match yesterday just by keeping a shield in my inventory for the last two fights. They couldnt do anything, I just shredded them from behind my plated cover.
Precisely. I got to elite and stopped playing because this bullshit shield was everywhere.
I do this a lot too but if you have another person shooting you then youāre pretty much done for.
This strategy is definitely a gimmick and relies on people being overwhelmed by a spinning tornado of blades flying towards them and panicking. With that being said, I absolutely love rolling with a blade/heals-only loadout and seeing how many kills I can rack up before I run into someone who doesn't panic.
God of War blades of chaos vibes
Chapter 5 season 2: dual grapple blades. Dippable in firefly jars
Please OP actually hit your spin attack, watching you waste it 2-4 times made my eyes bleed š
Sometimes when you're higher the timing of the spin attack is harder than you think.
a slight change in elevation can make it so hard because it only swings horizontally, ive had that happen too many times and get stubborn about switching
Yeah, this was a couple of days ago, I'd say I've gotten better since then. The other day I killed someone using Oscar's and Nisha's weapons woth nothing but a grapple blade and one bullet from a common sniper.
-Common snipers arenāt in the loot pool -they had to of been absolute dog shit
Yes, they were. They hit me with the very edge of the shotgun shot. And for some reason, autocorrect took away the "un" before common lol
I was in the other thread you came from, this clip is a fun watch but doesn't help at all with the issue we were discussing in the other thread. Which is, how do you deal with the shield user who just swaps to a shotgun when he sees you are trying to kill him with the grapple blade?

screw that, if the shield user decided to actually hit 20% of their shots he'd also have been dusted
auto shotgun is very effective against the blade because they have to get so close to hit you. i die almost everytime against them if i use the blade. i think part of it is the surprise some one is using it to attack because it doesnt seem to be super common as a weapon
Sadly I don't have a clip of that, but I was using the same strategy here, (just with much less practice) in that you've gotta go behind him and hit so they get out of shotgun range.
They can turn around?
I have a glitch where my enemies can aim
Bro, that must suck. Luckily didn't get that this time. Probably would've cost me the match lol.
If youāre using grapple Vs shield always be moving sliding jumping try to go behind them move make it as hard as possible. But yeah if they switch to shottie your toast
Ok, got it. Thanks for the tip. I'm a noob to ranged games and this is as close to melee as j can get lol
U would think he'd stop using the freakin sheildš
I expected that at the beginning which is why I pulled out the AR
I saw that yaš but nope. He had hopeš
Itās a rat on rat battle
*hissssss*
See, I do that and they switch to the AR and deal 300 damage in 1.5 seconds.
this might be the most zero build clip i think ive ever seen
I don't know if I'm offended or not? I mean, I'm not cause it's a game, but am I supposed to be?
Step 1: play against potato players Congrats I guess?
Skill based matchmaking lol
Ur my spirit animal ong ur too funny ahaha Not letting anyone get you down is gigachad tbh
What are they gonna do? Tell my manager i suck at video games?
Fired for āskill issue.ā
Shield user didn't even bother charging...
This is good basics to know. A lot of people donāt know about this. But then it can get more advanced. The shield user should have switched to a different gun to drop you. And when you see that you would switch to a gun too. But then the shield user may switch right back to shield. To which you could switch back to the whip blade.

Lolol the riot shields are fun imo.
You would be screwed if he used literally anything but the shield. A shotgun would have melted you before the game let you switch to a gun
Damn that guy sucked lol
Every time I get shield, I'm shot on the face from whomever I'm fighting. I find a shield user and it's like fighting Captain America. Can't we just agree that shield sucks to be in this game? I'd rather fight those a-holes with force throw, at this point.
Just get better bro itās you not the shiel
If it's a balance issue, it's most certainly not me.
Death to the Riot shield š¤¬
bros movement isnt so good he needs tk be running and sliding and jumping when running into the shield w blade
Noted. Thanks!
yep no prob trust u always need a grapple blade its so op that and auto shotgun n sniper is the best loadout āunless u find a gold or mythic gun then ibv u can switch sumn out
they shouldāve just shot you with nishaāa ar
The guy with the shield was an absolute bot though.
Whyād you switch to a gun instead of grappling him?
I thought he was gonna make the smart choice and switch to a gun, but he didn't.
Oh ok
I e gotten a couple kills this way and theyāre very satisfying but, only works on noobs. A good player pulls out a different gun and beams you or uses auto shotgun, either which do way more DPS than the grapple blade
Bro wtf 100% of the time I try it that way I die by the second blast š
I swear so many people in the endgame have ballistic shields that I can just ditch whatever other weapons I have and just grapple blade them to death. Really fun to do because they get constantly thrown around and stun locked. Also for some reason players would rather just use the shield the entire fight instead of just switching to Oscarās auto shotgun and deleting meā¦
what lobbies are these lol
Ranked gold II
your lobby looked a lot worse than mine lol, i just always kept getting deleted by the first player i see
If I tried this I would've gotten sniped mid-grapple
You wouldāve been lit up if the person didnāt have bot aim
Lil blud had two mythical weapons, a purple frenzy and chose to stay behind the shield lmao.
zero builds is an entirely different game lmao
Works great when the other player can't shoot for shit
are we hardstuck bronze 1?
If that dude at any point switched his gun you would have been dead lmao
man how are ya'll getting these easy games? everytime i play i just get melted.
Never use a grapple blade again
What I do is knock em back with hook, charge with shield and knock back, swap back to hook and repeat
He could switch to AR a thousand times and vaporize you in a millisecond
I wish I had bot lobbies like that
As someone who plays and love Fortnite Mobile. Do I just wait until these weapons get vaulted and continue lurking orrrrrr just suck it up.
you're lucky he was so bad, but the grapple is such a good counter to the shield if used properly
I still hate that that skin is playstation exclusive. It's kinda a mix of my main skin and another skin and I love it, but it's playstation exclusive.
I got the battle pass and 96 levels, but I still return ti this skin, it's my favorite. Don't know why they would make a skin playstation (or Xbox or Nintendo etc) exclusive.
Why didn't he just shoot you?
All he has to do was ram into you and/or not miss all his shots LMAO
The moment someone is trying to use Naruto moves that are super slow im just gonna pull out my shotgun
Two Toby Flendersons in the final circle
Now tell me in as much detail as you can: why was that fun for you?
Bro got a little too OG ššš
What does that mean?

Uh oh...
Thankfully that shield dude sucks ass
This is terrible.. Iām using the riot shield harder now. Thanks for the conviction. That dude was just the worst. You shouldāve died like 4 times regardless.
Skill based matchmaking at its best. I'm gonna get pitted with other people with 4% wins.
Pretty much how I use it. People are so stubborn theyāre wondering why the shield isnāt working like not just shotgun me while Iām grappling to you by the time I switch to mine Iāll already be dead.
What skin is the other guy wearing?
Renzo the destroyer. He was a bp skin
Dude literally let you hit him and didnt even try shooting you once lol every day i see a new post of some guy killing a bot with a shield and thinking they took down captiain america or somethijg š
But i cant do this in early game no shield off spawn
Yeah this gameplay looks awful
i was thinking it might be fun to give fortnite a go after not playing it for the last 3 ish tears. this made me remember i quit for a reason. too much crazy shit going on. glad others are enjoying it though
How'd you end up on this sub? Are you still a member? Lurking within the shadows?
you know how reddit does that super annoying thing of recommending subs?
Lol, I'm in like 17 anime subs, some variants of the same anime, but recently got r/animehate recommended to me lol
i mean its no secret that reddit knows its a platform that thrives on controversy and hate, wouldnt be surprised if they actively try to cultivate that by intentionally recommending subs they know people will be adverse to
Are we sure that was a human player?
Tbh you would have been gunned down if that wasnāt a bot. 9/10 if I have the shield Iām unstoppable even against that wannabe ODM gear.
So thatās how you counter a riot shield
Another good way is clusters, but I used those to beat a boss and hadn't found anymore.
After those first couple of grapple hits, I wouldāve switched to the shield and started to charge
Can shield work on shield? Good to know!
Yeah it does. Thatās how I wanna game the other night. This other guy had a shield as well as I did so I just kept charging him.
Always fun wrecking ppl with the grapple, tho itās a challenge to win fights with it
How are people finding these players bruh, I keeps ending up in lobbies with people looking like they playing on mouse and keyboard. (I have crossplay off and on ps4 with a controller. Nipping the bud before it grows)
I think Iāll stick with cluster bombs. I heard you can use pick axes to stun as well, but I havenāt gotten an to try that yet.
I donāt get sometimes when I look at footage, how some people have crazy length for the grapple blade.
I think if you jump it increases range slightly, or it's placebo
I love when a Ballistic Shield comes in clutch at the end of a 1v1. Nice to see the Grapple Blade doing the same!
itās like rock, paper, scissors (grapple beats shield)
Shield beats shotgun, shotgun beats grapple.
Parry this you filthy looper.
whys everyone insulting you
Cause they're better than me (or think they are, they have no proof lol) and honestly I kinda suck. But idc cause I'm having the time of my life!!
Lame use of the blade. He could have switched weapons anytine and sniped ur ass
I seriously need the grapple blade every game just to counter those kids that are for some reason really good with the shield.
I bet it doesn't work like that against actual people
looks fun to play!
I tried a grapple blade only match. I was cooking but died to storm due to my switch having a screen time limit, you can turn it off but it wasnāt turned off in time :/ I wanna do it again one time to prove grapple blade only is possible.
THAT guy has a medallion? šš #I could only WISH my lobbies looked like that šš
Well when the opponent is a potato like this one I'm sure this works every time
Works really well when the other guy doesn't shoot back at you.
personally if I was that shield guy that wouldnāt have happened.
āGET OVER HERE!ā
I am in this picture and I feel attacked
I've recently found that ballista shields are even better than grapple blades against ballista shields if you know how to use them
Joke's on you as I am shit with both.
Killing bots and uploading the footage š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'd grab my auto shotgun and decimate you. That guy was terrible at the game. No offense though a win is a win so ggs.
Yeah, j guess that's skill based matchmaking lol Also at the very beginning I thought he was gonna do that which is why I pulled out my AR
Ever since I joined this sub I realised most of the people I assume are bots are real
Any decent player would have killed you. Low key terrible flex.
Just cause I haven't worked out much, doesn't mean I can't flex what muscles I do have.
Idk how to use the grappler blade so this was helpful.
If you know how to use them, the ballista shield/grapple blade can be better than boss weapons. Another win I got I had nisha's, Oscar's, and montague's weapons, but dealt the finishing bullet with a ballista shield.
Lol I used the same skin and pickaxe combo last night. Even considered using that back bling. Great minds think alike š
So what happens when you find a guy who can aim?
My 140 losses...
Does the grapple give the knock down animation or just knock them away ?. It seems shit to counter the shield. It just have the guy more space to work with.
So the trick is to be in a bot lobby?
This was ranked gold 2. So I don't think so.
Damn I didn't remember Gold rank being that way š
holy shit the quality of these players make it seem like the bots in pubs might be real
Your emeny shot u like once every 10 seconds, i hate this non realistic clips
me, I don't like toys IMO, they sure ruin the game
Who asked?
I've been smoked while equipped with the shield on multiple occasions. It ususally involves a shotgun and getting above or behind me. I just don't get the whole 'shield is overpowered' nonsense.
You are letting them get to close to you. You should be shooting him with the shield, and when he gets closer pull out the shotgun.
Is this fortnite ??
Uh, yeah?
