The one thing I know about the sword is if I happen to kill someone attacking me with it, they get danced on...and if I die by a third party then, I don't care. Worth it.
agreed about the increase of players using katana to knock people. Players just getting high ground and pressing one button to end a game is so boring.
If you have a sword and you’re falling to your death you can push R2 or right click and you’ll slam to the ground and be safe from fall. Like if this comment saved your life.
The ARs can actually be effective in close range so it isn’t totally crazy. Fury AR in particular can out DPS the sword up close. Doesn’t do anything if you miss all your shots and play poorly. Also need stacks of ammo. Not my first option for sure but better than any other double gun combo this season.
10:28 might be closer on the actual players screen compared to what we see spectating, but that’s just ridiculous how he hits him there 😂. Using the Katana’s R2 attack is the quickest way to save yourself from fall damage if you get hit from it, in my experience. Had some success switching from shocks to Katana for endgame because everyone goes for it. Ideally when they do it you can katana spin-jump in the air and avoid it all together. I always try go island, so that’s the point I try to switch to a blade.
I liked this Winterfest, less obnoxious than the last one (except I don't care about the Festival items, just useless). I liked the fireplace in the lodge, free XP!
@@Martin-rb4np Oh yeah, it works. But it doesn't add it to the next match, just to your XP total before the match. I got 2K once, but most of the time it's somewhere between 10 and 200. There is a chance you can get V-bucks, too (never got that).
I use the sword as a shotgun. I'm just not good enough to hit pump shots when I'm going up against a sword user moving all crazy. I like carrying shockwaves, sword, holo ar, bunkers, and big pots. This loadout has been pretty good to me.
0:52 about POI You're correct. We have 18 named POI at that map, which is great . Next to that there're many other small locations with decent loot so people spread around while landing. For me personally these is one of the map's we ever got it Fortnite :)
It's fun landing on the mountain above the train tunnel and shooting the players trying to get the mythic AR. It's super predictable that someone will be going for the mythic at the start of almost every game. 😃
I would love if you did a ballistic video! I’ve been really enjoying it as I refuse to play regular until they chill out with that sword just hit champion last night!
Jake, can you please drop at Nightshift Forest for one of your videos? It's one of the sweatier POIs of this season, but I don't think you've featured it at all.
@Morefireblaze I landed there once in solos and never again 😅. Unfortunately my duo really likes the vault so we often land or rotate there. It's always a shit show
I love dropping there. I tend to be good at getting down first and there's a high spawn rate for the katana in the main building. If you get it, you can clean up people as they land. Then if someone gets the key, you can wait until they open the vault and murder them. Fun POI!
Jake u feel like it may be worth taking the two gold ARs for a bit as they are hands down most versatile gun in game and it keeps it out of another solid players hands?
COMPLETELY agree on the swords. It just isnt fun to play. If you dont have a sword in endgame its over. If you do, its 50/50 whether you will win the sword-off. And then, you just get third partied. I have been playing mostly Reload and OG for that reason.
Shotguns are terrible and inconsistent this season and get over powered by the sword. I die 9x out of 10 to a sword in close combat, making this season unlikable for me.
@@gergelyszekely9778 I agree. Anything over 30 seconds is great. I didn't realize that. Will definitely go out of my way to carry the void mask from now on.
Yes, it’s a far superior game mode with a considerably higher skill level. There is also more interesting content with reload as more combat over the duration of the game.
Also I’ve fought that vin dude multiple times especially grim gate season he’s decent but such a sweat never seen someone leave the game so fast 🤣🤣 I used to kill him at grim gate toooo much
i cant get wins because if i end up in endgame with no katana its game over-endgame nowadays is just a sword fight theres no way to fully combat a sword- you can try to spray them but as soon as they get close youre instantly dead its so annoying
I usually try to get good with each melee item they add because I do try and do no gun challenges when I don't have to sweat my arse off to do so and yeah, the sword charge swing is very good. It even works against cars. During the first week of the season people didn't know but they sure as hell know now.
9:28 WTH would you try to beam someone with the high ground when it’s not end game and you have no choice?! With the swords in the game, it’s less fun rn. I’ll play until I win then go off to OG. Much more skill based right now.
yes- the season is becoming BORING and its 'personally' the worst map Ive used yet! - i use my skin that transforms from black to white on an emote for cover in snow :)
The fact Chun Lee had a crown is exactly what’s wrong with the season. (Despite its amazing map visuals and style) High damage, high fire rate, little recoil/bloom, hitscan - there’s just no skill required anymore. I don’t hate 10 bombing every game, but I miss the joy I got from the reward of projectile. I made a video on my channel about it Jake, “why Fortnite is ruining the game for profit”. Similar to the video you made the other day actually, I had the same conspiracy as him. But I tie in how their greed also can be seen with these changes in mechanics- and how they only benefit onboarding new players, who have higher profitability potential- however will cost Fortnite players fun and also player retention.
I'm a fairly new player, I only play since ch5s4 but this is the least "just-luck-into-victory" season since then. I do agree that projectile weapons were more fun to play with. Also the katana is annoying, but it's nowhere near the nitro fist, the magneto-thingy, the iron-man aimbot stuff, or even the Eminem-minigun. There are actually counterplays against the katana and you can even imagine a great loadout without it (while the nitro-fist, jetpack used to be absolutely mandatory). However you do have to see that Battle Roayle is fortnite's most popular game and they do have to give something for the casuals as well. If it's katana and hitscan weapons it's still far-far better than magneto-gloves or doom island. And if you can't make that compromise you can now play Reload solos as well. In my limited experience this is the season where I can complain the least.
I know Jake likes to keep talking about people not using shotguns this season (I’m one of them), but it’s not like I don’t like shotguns, it’s that they simply suck this season. So much so that I’d much rather have a consistent gun even if not designed for short range than a shotgun that makes it more difficult to get consistent shots while having small mag size (Oni shotty I’m looking at you), and also having a slow fire rate (Oni shotty still looking at you). Twin mag tickles opponents, and Sentintel pump is decent but I’d much rather the Holo twister or precision smg.
I always have too have a shotgun. Ppl like u just rely too much on the cheese item of the month instead of taking the time too get better. Its always funny after the item is removed or nerfed and ppl have no idea what too do lol
@@Darbatron Don't be an idiot. I quite clearly state that my weapon of choice is an AR or SMG. How you jumped to the assumption that I rely on cheese items is beyond me.
Stop crying to the sword, people, just get a sword yourself and be a better sword player than others. The sword is easily countered by the sword itself, you sword-jump and then the melee attacks do nothing to you; you do in-air-sword-attack and you negate fall damage from sword dash, easy
^ I'm not very good at the game but the one time i did win the last player was just using the sword on me but i used the sword to get away and got my final shots in and won.
Lol u want everyone too pick up a sword? Us high skilled players never use cheese when you do you end up relying on it then when it goes away your so far behind everyone that didn't use it. Just get good with the shotgun I 2 tap sword guys all time
Played for the first time since getting my new ps5 after giving my son my ps5, and one thing i can say is that the shotgun the island boss dropss is deadly asf also took a huge break bringing up my lil girl like 3 years so this new movement is crazy good aswell
The one thing I know about the sword is if I happen to kill someone attacking me with it, they get danced on...and if I die by a third party then, I don't care. Worth it.

That oni mask teleport at 10:53 was so casually smooth. That guy had the sauce for sure
i thought for sure he'd comment on that hahaha
He has the sauce for timing his teleport?

Very simple easy thing too do
How have you not been to everywhere on the map yet 😅

10:04 for whatever reason that seems like a high-traffic AI location. I always see AI in that area fighting
Agreed. I always encounter 2-3 bots on the bridge.
@aguyandhiscomputer that metal refuel center between restored reels and nitrodome last season was the same way.
Winterfest was cool but I'm ready for a change of pace
It takes me ages to beat the boss. That player blazed him
Invisibility into sword is the exact type of cheese that has pushed me to only play creative the past few seasons.

You don’t need a shotgun if you take all long distance fights.

same loadout as me -- although I prefer splashes instead of the big pot since it's quicker

Yeah still not used to the shotgun and mainly pick up the suppressed pistol to compensate.
Do the teleport portals stay indefinitely? Or do they disappear after a set amount of time?
It's about 90 or 120 secs, which is IMO practically infinite under combat conditions. Also, 180m distance.
@@gergelyszekely9778 I agree. Anything over 30 seconds is great. I didn't realize that. Will definitely go out of my way to carry the void mask from now on.
They stay indefinitely - at least 6 minutes has been tested. Range is only 100 meters now.
Will you make a series (or just video) like this but for reload at some point?
Yes, it’s a far superior game mode with a considerably higher skill level. There is also more interesting content with reload as more combat over the duration of the game.
