- In this video I talk about the recently unvaulted kinetic blade and if I think it is worth using in Fortnite Chapter 6. This is one of the most loved mobility items in Fortnite history but with how many other mobility items we have in Chapter 6 many players have decided to choose others instead. Let me know what you think of the kinetic blade down in the comments below!

7:30 rarely see jake emoting on people. that donkey laugh must’ve been personal😂
that man was camping on the building from like 2nd zone onward they were the same one shooting at me around 6:30 I left did island boss and they were still chilling there
I thought the same thing. Haha
I was amazed I was like “I’ve never seen Jake emote on someone DAMN😂😂

My daughter just used it to good effect to win her last match in zero build!
@@VOlDTALEScome on man...
wholesome comment, congrats on her win
I wish they would've done the durability thing with the Nitro Fists. Would've made them way more balanced tbh
Hello jake, i just want to say that i improved a lot watching your videos. I started playing fortnite just this year so i naturally gravitated towards zb since building mechanics require a lot of learning i feel like. Ive hit elite in the avengers season but i was just cheesing with dashes auto turret and shield. This chapter i kinda struggled and mostly camped. After watching your videos though i became more confident in pushing people and initiating fights, turns out when youre initiating they arent so scary anymore! Today i got my first victory royale after countless second places and i think your endgame video really helped with this. Im close to champion now! Thanks jake im big fan all the best to you!
w congrats!
Hate to do the um actually but c5 s4 was last year
@Da_Pizza_God well yes I forgot it's already 2025 xD i obviously started last year
I give the kinetic blade a pass. When you use it for movement you’re stuck in the animation and very vulnerable. Shockwaves or the typhoon are better. You can at least switch weapons in the air.
Thanks Jake and agree, still feel shocks and mask are the way to go. IMO seems a bit pointless bring kinetic blade back when we have the typhone. Yes its a little different but not enough to warrent having 2 swords in the game. If they had introduced different swords that all have didferent abilities that would have been better/make more sense. Even though i rarely use the swords lol
Why does epic games keep adding old items to the game that were NEVER OP... and NERFING THEM... they just about have a track record for this already... its ridicilous.... as Jake said kinetic blade is decent in everything but not outstanding in any 1 thing... it has a wind up animation and you are vulnerable, the reason it was so popular is because it was infinite uses and fun to use... and now they go and ruin that.... even with infinite uses people would prefer the void mask and shockwaves and yet they NERF it, what the heck?
Having the Oni mask solves a ton of issues, especially in end game, so I would prefer to have 1, but outside of that, I'll take any combo. I still haven't really mastered shockwaves, hence why I don't prefer it. Plus, it is just fun using either of the swords. I'm considering making a UEFN BR Island where the swords are the main weapons, and no guns. Just bows and crossbows for long distance.
Drop the code if you make it 😊
@@Gmastersix Might take a month or 2. I did release my first UEFN island last month. It has no weapons and is mostly a hang out spot with a dirt bike race track and a huge dance club. Club RA 3814-3268-9649
Damn so close to first :)
Joking aside I think loadout depends on how game is going. Sometimes in a smaller circle or if the person has good long range, I'll pickup close range items and push... I've beaten cheaters this way as they don't expect mask, sword shotgun all to come out.
I've justvstarted playing this game and got a few wins under my belt in zero build. Can you tell me what cheaters means please? Like campers in bush?
@JGJ1967 people using aim assist so bullets hit even though they don't aim. Today i played a solo match and two people were teaming (so playing together while in solo).
Sadly some people are just annoying but it happens rarely I find.
@@AhmedWaqar OK thank you
Ur analysis is always on point.. always......great video
Just got another victory with a friend (i just came back after ten months). Some of your videos/info absolutely helped me snag that win. Love your videos. So informative and just respectful to the watcher. No wasted time. Respect sir. Have an amazing day and grand life.
Loving it right now working good for me happy to see it back
Completely agree with your analysis. I was playing earlier and was using the kinetic blade to reposition from a third party. Since the Kinect blade needs a sort of charge before you execute the mobility. I got melted by the third party with the holo twister. 😂. I’m happy it’s back but I just think it’s not well suited for this season since the holo twister is just too busted.
I run dual swords, Kinetic for travel and a great knock back defensive item. The other I use for movement, and follow up attack after kinetic knock back. You can also combo the kinetic and typhoon for fast controlled escape from third party. I have a clip of the use of both to take out two solos both tracking me rather than each other.
W video Jake. I’ll let you know what I think if I play BR again this season
You’re working so hard, may all your wishes come true.
Great video Jake. I was wondering if you thought the season would become more balanced if the spawn for the void mask and typhoon blade both went down and the kinetic blade spawn went up (I like the fact that you can push with it but the balance of you are exposed while traveling more than the void mask) or do you think this would just be like the jet pack in the previous season where if you didn't have the mask you were just severely at a disadvantage?
I try to use shocks, but my ping goes crazy sometimes and I can't get the timing right, so when that happens I try to use the mask and the typhoon for mobility, along with cars. I like having a few shocks at endgame to send people flying into storm.
I do agree though the void mask is great for positioning to a specific area
what is your opinion on gyro?
You can use shockwaves against another player pushing them out of hiding. With the Oni Mask I've tricked players attacking me behind cover. I'd send a teleport near to where they are taking cover, to force them to move out of cover.
I like the multiple mobility items regardless of what they are. It makes game play less predictable.
I think another reason kinetic blade was so OP in CH4 was the Aerialist augment.
Durability might be the solution to the "spamming the sword" problem whenever swords are in the game, if you could only eliminate a couple players with a sword before it breaks, and more cost to spamming it, players would have to at least think about using it strategically.
I would adjust melee item durability so they can only bring a player from full shields and health down to nothing 2-4 times before breaking. I would also have different damage rates for what you hit. I'd quadruple how much durability the kinetic blade has now for mobility, adjust melee durability to be 2.5 players from full health+over shields before it breaks, make connecting with an object/wall one half of connecting with a player, and no cost for swinging and missing.
Also every sword would have very interruptible animations, like getting knocked out of the sky when hit, and the attack being interrupted when hit. If you are spraying someone with a blade it should be in practice a 50/50 fight just as two shotguns are a 50/50.
Imo they should either make it so each dash only loses 3 or 2 durability(idk what the attack durability but they can just keep it the same) and if they want to make it on par with void or shocks, they should gove it 5 charges instead of 3. Even the durability change will really help this weapom
No matter what mobility is in the game, if their are shockwaves, I’m taking them
this season kinitic blade is all bout timing and execution,definetly not for spam and mobility.Its great for knocking oppenent back especially on high grounds like mountain
Kinetic blade is my all time favorite. I rock that with the mask.
I prefer shockwaves but will swap to the void mask or kinetic blade if i dont have a full stack.
I only pick it up if I don't have shocks yet
I personally like it a lot, if you need to get away i feel like the sword is perfect especially if you're not a pro at shocked waves
The Blade is definitely low tier this season. It's C tier at best
yeah i would rather use the mythic Typhoon Blade over Kinetic Blade 😂
It would be nice to be able to carry at least 12 shocks in one slot or even 15 like the void mask lol
I like the blade but i feel like it's too balanced for this season when compared to the other mobility. When i have used it i used both shockwaves and the kinetic blade. I'll try oni mask blade and see if i like it more
It’s a very balanced melee weapon
The dude @5:19 was most likely mad mad 😂😂😂
I just use both swords. 3 wins so far lmao
It feels out of place idk what’s the point of having 2 swords at the same time
Im trying to figure out how i was able to get a couple wins in a play session in season 5 but now i havent won a single game since this season started
Big Jake
Ayo
Short answer no it’s dewkie compared to shockwaves and oni masks
Sorry for so many comments but I wanted to mention one more thing. Yesterday I died from fall damage twice after teleporting with the mask 🤦♂️ a bug I guess but I was curious if it’s happened to you or anyone in the comments?
0:15 loot delivery
The blade recharges?
Dash - yes
Health - no
I give it 2 weeks. Till someone report it used by hackers.
Like last time.
Is this your gameplay? It looks so different from the usual.
“It’s ok, but worse than other movement items” 1 sentence, 10 min video. Bruh
I love the kinetic blade, even tho it has durability. I think my mobility this season is gonna be void mask and the kinetic blade bc imo the kinetic blade is better than shockwaves. Even with the charge up time, it’s never gotten me killed, not even in the higher ranks so it isn’t that bad. Plus, you don’t have to constantly go searching for another blade like you do for shockwaves, and there are many ways to be unpredictable with the kinetic blade just like with shockwaves. Imo, the tier list for mobility items this season are:
1. Void mask (one of the best mobility of all time)
2. Kinetic Blade
3. Shockwaves
4. Typhoon blade
Also shockwaves get me killed a lot bc I always have to keep using them to escape and then I don’t have any for later because people always chase me across the map.
@@agent9341 i prefer shockwaves and keep figuring out a way to be conservative with it. mask or blade and shocks are all you need. when this chapter ends then there will be no more blade then its going to be little hard to adjust.
@@Ehren1337 yeah, I’m also pretty used to shockwaves too, but I find them to be a bit too limiting bc of the cap of 6 per inventory slot
@agent9341 true they need to make it 10 lol
Love it when i get to get a kill by blading a player off a mountain.
I’ve been carrying both blades, the halo and a shotty with a heal and I’ve been liking it.
first!
No I’m first
