You would think they would and also take away the snipers as well. But recently Epic has done things weird, but mostly good. There has been auto shottys every season since Chapter 4 I believe bc the exotic Maven and regular Maven were in all chap 4. Not only in but comparable to the pump, with the exception of the Havok ch4 s1. So hopefully they keep it in for those who need it but make it hit for like 30 and the pump to hit for 200 or more. I'd be ok with no auto shottys but I believe epic will always have one available for the casual
Hey Jake, just wanted to say when I first started playing Fortnite (end of chapter 3) you’re the first creator I watched to help me know what I was actually getting into and your advice has never let me down thus far 💪 thank you for everything 🙏
One thing to keep in mind when you have a scout is that enemy players can also see the mesh animation when the scan occurs. You still have a huge advantage knowing their precise position, as well as some weapon info (pretty easy to identify player equipment like riot shields, grapples, etc.). Its just important to be aware that when a scan picks up an enemy, that enemy will know you are there and that their position is revealed.
Also how come the npc always destroys things around the area I'll land at the station pick up the mecha npc and head to a dock and the npc will destroy the launchpad causing me to get caught in the storm unexpectedly.
Hey Jake, just started playing fortnite in December and your videos have been a great help! Was wondering if you had any thoughts about the swimming pool landing spot on the south part of the map between Fencing and Snooty. I always land in the tower with 10x slurp barrels + 2 chests and am able to clean up anyone thats lands there very reliably. Also are lots of coolers for shield fish. Thanks for the awesome videos and keep up the great work!
This has also been my fave spot to land, especially the tower lol I always land in there and hack my way to the bottom! Most of the loot there is good to start out with! It's great for solos and duos!
This has been my favorite landing spot the whole chapter for all the reasons you mentioned, and it got even better when the NPC started spawning there. sometime i hire the contract gilla 1st and go straight to that island and hire snake, and then kill gilla to get his sniper rifle.
They should bring the Havoc Pump back instead of the pump we have now. Then the auto shotty doesn’t have go get nerved as much since they both have not as much range, but very high damage up close. That would make 50/50s from close even more punishing. Stimulating the need to go for opening damage shots before entering the fight.
6:50 I hired him many times and I find him standing around sometimes right beside another player who he should be trying to eliminate. He's great for scanning if he can manage to stay alive. I'll try the other one at the island - thanks for the tip!
all the npc's are only attacking what you are shooting at or when they get shot. Try to run over a chicken with a car with an npc's sitting next to you. It will shoot the chicken :)
I do like Snake Island, and I'm glad it's getting notice. That's a nice rotation into Lavish. And thanks for the update on the Contract Griller NPC. I hired him a while back and got the bug version who did nothing and had no gun, so I never went back. Nice to have options. GGs!
My squad have been landing at that island since Snake appeared! Half will land there the other at Lavish. The other half usually get there by the time everhone starts going into battle which gave us the advantage to digure out who was left! Especially if Oscar is still alive, such a good video!
The suitcase machine gun is totally underrated, if a guy walks past and doesn't see you throw it behind him and when it starts firing at your enemy you cut loose with well aimed burst smg shots they are dead quick
Ive been using the npcs most of the season. My favorite gimmick is to stay the npc and run for a bush. Once npc teleports you send it forward. They never see the snipe coming shooting at the npc whose running lol.
The only problem with this is storm by the time you get snake get a few chests and move I’m guessing your gona have to fight a team and then the boss too before you are even able to upgrade your guns and by that time if you don’t get first circle you might not have time to open vault that’s my guess I’ve never tried this strat but I’ll give it a shot
Never noticed this little island checking it out, I'll let you know how it goes been watching you since I started at the first of this season already LVL 111 thank you!!!! ❤
bro i feel like im cheating getting all these tips and tricks. im lowkey happy nobody watches you because i get to keep these secrets to myself but you really deserve more!!!
You split drop, one lands at snake, one lands at rebel roost hires supply npc, one lands at the graveyard and hires the heavy npc all meet at the mini vault by rebel roost
I land here any time it’s within 1,500 meters of the bus. A lot of people I’ve landed there after, don’t even use solid snake. They just ignore he’s there.
May I suggest you create an episode about using a sniper ( maybe without scope?) as a shotgun double to to pump? I saw one German UA-camr (claims to be #1 in Europe for a while in the past) saying it is overwhelmingly killer recipe and defeats the autoshotty easily. Maybe you can veryify that.
@iamedblaize I just tried it today and killed the guy instantly! It seems you just need to be calm in order to at least get one headshot out of the 2 guns. So I guess yes, it works, especially for good aimers. For me, it might not work consistently as I am still not that good and mostly nervous at tough fights (playing since season 4-2).
Jake. What's your longest win run for solo games? I'm currently on 3 in a row which is my highest. But thanks to your videos they're starting to happen more and more even though I don't play the super aggressive style that you do.
medallions give away your location. If you dont have enough heals on you, you can first fight and when you are about to travel you can pick up the medallions to heal and dump them later again
I like that NPC, it is pretty far out - agree with "no loitering". Thanks for the scan rate. Lately, I'm thinking of changing my username to "I hate this game" :-)
Im praying they change the weapon meta from a auto shotgun to pump meta next szn
Same. Hoping they nerf snipers to have one clip in the mag as well next season

Pump = skill, auto = spray + aim assist, is lame

Good tips about telling the NPC to stop/wait - I didnt know you could do this. Very helpful.
Me neither! Can you tell the npc to ping the area? That would be clutch....and OP :'(
nah its every 30 seconds or something@@gcardenasa19
@@gcardenasa19No.

Yea hopefully we get some shotgun balance adjustments sometime soon
Absolutely agree. Havoc pump is a incredible gun.
@@nspencer7368skill issue mnk is superior for aim, noob
One of my favorite spots has been exposed, been landing there even before Snake was added
Landing there at the moment if the bus is anywhere near it is like a Royal Rumble. 😂 Litterly dozens of people heading for it.
Lmao

You can control where he goes just keep him out of way to live

I do the same thing with the NPC at Grand Glacier, but getting Oscar is better than Montague so I might give this a try.
Love your content. It has helped me tremendously. I still make bone head mistakes sometimes, but I have improved. I have 5 crowns this season.
Great Video and Information as Always Jake! 👍👍
For anyone playing on Switch or pc, the 8bitdo ultimate controller is about $80 it has 2 back buttons
Literally where my friend and I drop almost every game. Snake really be revealing everyone's IP nearby.
lmfaoooo

i like doing that too. hehe
Hear me out smoke gernades back in the game for zero build next season
There is a train station just south of lavish. If you're good you can land there and get two guaranteed mythics chest
Your videos have been really helpful for someone coming back to Fortnite after a long time.
Glad the videos have been helpful
Does the NPC scan show up for all squad members? I only play solo, but was curious whether the scan only shows for the player that hires the NPC?
I guess so. Check it by entering Squad fill mode.
Such great consistent content. Thanks bro. It’s so hard to keep up on meta changes.
There’s an April O’Neal noche now. I’m not sure what that poeta is but I found her in a tower.
You just literally broadcasted my squad’s entire strategy for the last few days.
i got for rebels roost to get the grapple blade then check the island and get him if he is there
The only problem with this is storm by the time you get snake get a few chests and move I’m guessing your gona have to fight a team and then the boss too before you are even able to upgrade your guns and by that time if you don’t get first circle you might not have time to open vault that’s my guess I’ve never tried this strat but I’ll give it a shot
I knew you were going to say that before opening the Video. Def my fav spot!
Never noticed this little island checking it out, I'll let you know how it goes been watching you since I started at the first of this season already LVL 111 thank you!!!! ❤
Why were you going deep into the storm @ 5:30 ?
Thanks Jake! 🪅👑🪅
Please can you do a video on settings?
What graphics settings do you use anyway and what card do you have? just wondering
Thanks Jake! 😁
yw!
bro i feel like im cheating getting all these tips and tricks. im lowkey happy nobody watches you because i get to keep these secrets to myself but you really deserve more!!!
II enjoyed your commentary with snake! Made me laugh! 😂
You split drop, one lands at snake, one lands at rebel roost hires supply npc, one lands at the graveyard and hires the heavy npc all meet at the mini vault by rebel roost
That's my spot for tournaments, well it WAS... Thanks Jake ...😮😮😅
Stop giving my secrets away 😂 that's where I always land and loot, hire the npc and get to lavish lair. Game I just played I got 11 elims and won.
Yeeeeah... Got 3 or 4 people landing at the good NPCs. There is low key only 6 or 7 places to land this season.
I land here any time it’s within 1,500 meters of the bus. A lot of people I’ve landed there after, don’t even use solid snake. They just ignore he’s there.
There is also an npc scanning at the Grand Glacier😊
no way bro thats my drop, i land there every game, o loot that house on the left and then 3rd party Lavish Lair
Same

if you can pull it off it does, me personally, im too inconsistent with it so dont do it often unless im right on that day

Will raiden return to the store??
I know you had the scanner npc, but damn your sniping was on point that game. 👏
Thanks!

I think like 6 or 7 im not great at streaks
11:59 um? so, that what you do when not streaming.
Why did you leave the medallions behind and then loop back and pick them up?
medallions give away your location. If you dont have enough heals on you, you can first fight and when you are about to travel you can pick up the medallions to heal and dump them later again
Love this location
Noooo!!!!! You’re giving away my favorite landing spot!!!!!!!
Thant tip I'm ne sub I'm from Mexico
I was this day old when I found out that you can communicate with the NPC
There are 3 scout npc's to choose from right now.
This place was really safe and unpopulated earlier on but now it seems like everyone knows about it. 😢
I thought I recognized @TinyMcLarge when I was reviewing kills from my films. It was from a Crown Vic I just had. Shoutout to TinyMLarge!
How is your fps so high on console?
I play on PC with PS5 controller.
Im glad fish man is working now. He was useless before
I like that NPC, it is pretty far out - agree with "no loitering". Thanks for the scan rate. Lately, I'm thinking of changing my username to "I hate this game" :-)
Literally been landing there all season
Sssssssh! Please don't get my spot popular!
I was really hoping you wouldn't make this video
Sorry
@@EvolveJake haha no worries man. I guess the company will be nice 🙂
All I see/hear is Sheldon cooper playing fortnite
Rip, that was my spot before the npc, now its revealed
same man I hate these videos sometime but I get it
Great Content as always Jake. Btw, how many scanner NPCS are their now and is one still on the mountain close to Grand Glacier. I think there is 3
Day 6 of being a Evolve Jake fam 💯🤘🏻
Thank mate. Not!
Been landing there for a while now as you can get an ok load out before Lavish and now it will be sweaty as hell.😡😡😡
I find it hilarious that people are crying about you revealing their "landing spot" as if that's gonna change anything.
Wall hacks powers is not good for the game. They brought it in Apex Legends.. and it creates a lot of controversy
Pimp up your loot game just by killing someone better at looting than you.
Bruh, why are blowing up my spot?!
thanks for ruining my drop spot. now 100 people will land there every game.
Womp womp
I will coach your grammar.
Knew about this already now its ruined
