As I predicted towards the end of the video Fortnite nerfed the combat kit but also the jetpack right after I posted this. I will have a video about these changes tomorrow but Combat kit: less damage, no headshot bonus damage, less lock on range and you need to be more precise when aiming jetpack: less fuel and boosts when flying x.com/FortniteStatus/status/1839054113302057013
I like the jetpack dash trick but not gonna lie I lowkey getting tired of hitting a button combo for a dash. My thumbstick got stick drift from using it so damn much 😂. As for countering the iron man stuff I just keep my distance not allow the auto lock to lock onto to me and fry them from the distance.
OMG...Watching pubs gameplay like this makes me realize how ZB ranked is now a completely different game compared to pubs! No jetpacks, no cars, no fluff.
I'm 51, been playing for a month with my boys who are 9 and 11. Your tutorials have been helpful to all 3 of us. I am improving and trying to get better in the long run. It's very tempting to pick up these items as it levels the playing field but does nothing to improve your game play. I still lose with these items but it's usually being 3rd partied at range with an AR. Using cover, stealth and distance with the AR is a good strategy. Tempting as it is to use the avengers gear it still won't help you against Doom's chosen close up.
Tbh though the nitrofists were the apex of cheese. I can laser iron man hands users from a distance regardless of whether they're on a jetpack, all you have to do is practice your striker AR or striker burst skills. Yes they are an annoyance up close, but that's a gamesense issue. I am a cautious player and I always look and listen. You can spare yourself a lot of misery of iron man hands users if you have good game sense and decent aim at a distance. With the nitro fists, if somebody saw you and you shot at them, it's basically bye-bye because they'll either run away or be in your grill in a matter of seconds. I think we all forget how awful the nitro fists were, I routinely got wrecked by them but I have actually put in a good showing against the iron man hands this season.
I was on the grind hard when the season dropped. The BP is great and I knew I wouldn’t be around for the whole of the season just due to studies and stuff. I’m glad I got a good time from the season because this meta seems a little gross. I played a few games with Iron Man update, but now the killer combos have been found. I’m gonna take a break.
Obviously they want to keep the game fresh and keep topping themselves. With how crazy last season was. Or everyone would complain it’s getting stale. But if they’re gonna make such OP items that make fights so easy… they need to either increase the spawn rates significantly or nerf them. It’s just whoever gets to the iron man drop first and gets lucky..
That’s what ninja was saying too about this season, you can’t have an item where if you don’t have it you automatically lose. Especially if it’s extremely hard to get
Easy solution for all of these issues: make a mythic EMP launcher. Make it able to disable all the stark tech, as well as the shuri gauntlets. All the while doing very little shield damage, maybe only 25 shield so people don’t use it to just insta win fights. Instead it puts everyone down on the ground. They could even release blue-purple-orange variants that only have 3-4-5 shots respectively, and the mythic regens ammo over time. Bam, annoying problem solved
One thing about fighting against a player with the jetpack and Combat Gear in a car, switch seats if you think they're going to fire a Unibeam. From my experience using it, most will intentionally-aim for the driver seat (since it IS basically a railgun).
Ever since the last update my win rate in solo zb has dropped below what I’m happy with. People rocking full iron man with full war machine just flying around third partying every fight they see. So annoying. Spoiling any good this season had.
@EvolveJake does the auto turret work while flying with the iron man flight kit? I was thinking about being able to get longer mobility with the flight kit while having the turret do its auto lock on thing. Lmk, thanks!
let´s see, we have; -black panther gauntlets -Doom gauntlets -iron man gauntlets -iron man boots Game should be renamed as marvel try on haul- nite...🤮
I'm a little torn between choosing black panther gloves and the turret just because the gloves are so good in vertical endgames and traversing to those late circle pulls. I don't think I would drop a shotgun and only carry the iron man gloves due to the energy system compared to ammo.
I heard a rumour that next season there will be a big red button in the middle of the map and whoever lands on it and presses it first wins the match 😉😁
You jinxed it. 😂 Haha they just updated the Hover Jets (hella not necessary) and then they also nerfed the Iron Man Combat Kit. Glad for the kit, it makes sense. Nerfing the other mobility item 3x? Already? They keep hitting the jet pack for no reason. Bizarre. I would have liked the sovereign shotgun to get some love. Some of those 30 damage close range shots are too questionable. Another banger Jake 💯
Ever since I started playing FN more than I used to (like once a month) at the start of ch5, every season has me hating it more and more. Now instead of daily playing a few hours Ill hop on for a few matches every couple days or so. Its crazy to me that after the car/turret/fists bullshit I could somehow have even less fun playing FN now. Im glad some ppl enjoy it and I wish I did.....I just wanna "gun game" lol
Maybe it’s me, but I’ve found the iron man gauntlets to pretty consistently hit opponents IN cars. The default move of most car players is to try to run you over, if they coming head-on at you the gauntlets seem to target the player over the car.
Question: Do you know if the ranked rewards always show Bronze color? Or will it update at the end of the season to the highest rank you have attained?
TBH I never stopped using the turret, is not like is the most broken item, is alright, but it helps you pushing that precious little bit of damage, it solves the issue of losing a fight because you were 6 HP short
Great video always love your content! Auto targeting items being meta is literally the worst, very not fun. Especially in a season where the added guns are so fun 😢
You’re not wrong. I pretty much know I’ll win a match when I have the iron man gloves, a jet pack, and an auto turret. Without the auto turret it’s almost a guarantee, but the extra damage they give usually gives you the edge over an opponent with a similar load out.
If Fortnite do nerf the iron man gauntlets I think if they decreased the amount of shots you can have before they need to cooldown would be good, still guaranteed hits but less of them, may force players to carry another weapon
I hide the gloves In bushes so people think it’s been taken. But last night I was playing trios was by myself away from my squad had the gloves the auto turret jetpack boots and shuri gloves took all 3 with minimal difficulty I survived but I didn’t win the gloves did such a cheesy victory feels dishonourable
This season has become a joke. If you don't get the jetpack or the ironman gauntlets you'll lose to someone who has them or to Dr. Doom. I just want them to add a couple more gauntlets or gloves or another insane movement item to round the season out. It needs more of that /s
I don’t actually know if it’s patched but I’ve found a glitch with the jet pack and rifts. Idk if you’ve experienced it but it’s kinda op for attacking people island
most good players know about it, he touched on it in one of his earliest videos of this season, just dash into the rift with a jet pack and you’ll be in the jet pack when you come out of the rift so you can just cancel and drop right on peoples heads on island while they’re staring into the sky looking for you
i think Fortnite should put a lot , a lot more of these items in the game and make it a free for all neutral balance fight. Done and Done, the only struggle is not getting the items.
Your play style (and anyone else who plays like this) makes the game not fun. This whole season has been a comedy of errors. It’s impossible for regular players to get the medallions & instead of fighting you have to avoid the sweats until 10 are left and hope you get lucky.
And then you get pinched between 3 fucking sweats with the medallions and jetpack plus iron man gloves. I haven't won a single game since the 2nd week of the season
@@crumpdapmvp big facts, I play on PS5 and I hate when players like show up in my games. Just hang an L and move on. Matchmaking needs to be drastically improved as well. There’s no way I should be playing against them. I had a match once with a guy that had 312 victories with a victory crown. I noped outta that so quickly
The only thing i disagree with is that the people who only learn this play style and only get wins that are the same people who would get wins with the cars last season, or the magneto, or the nitro gauntlet melee or the chains of hades, or the avatar mythics, or the ballistic shield. Play styles that require no skill
With warzone having cheaters & Fortnite having too much op mythic items makes the game not even fun anymore. I just want to shoot and get a dub. Now it’s metrics behind it.
This season sucks I can't wait to unlock the rest of the quest pages and not touch it again. It was fun for about a week till the sweats mastered the marvel powers. Just like the fucking gods season
I am not great at this game but i do enjoy it - but i just want to play it properly and shoot people and get shot by better players - not have someone blast me with no skills - would love the stop losing version
Season ruined again. What happened to actually fighting against players. All this flying in the air and stupid mythics just ruined it. When are they going to learn about a balanced game
I love all these speciality items. Theres a small percentage of upper tier players who can consistently win without some type of an advantage like jake. Skill sets and levels are so spread apart ill grab every advantage i can. Love or hate them the items are here to stay
As I predicted towards the end of the video Fortnite nerfed the combat kit but also the jetpack right after I posted this. I will have a video about these changes tomorrow but

Good nerfs, they are going crazy with all the auto aim weapons this season 💀

Never seen a item being nerfed so many times

Find it annoying that they keep nerfing the jetpack but probably a good thing
I just wanna play fortnite man. Not fight tooth and nail to get the latest mythic that you can't play the game without
Me too bro, not gonna get that experience from this season sadly.. im tired of everyone flying around
Carry portabunkers and it’s much easier to fight these kids especially if you know how to play the bunker correctly.
I mean you clearly don't wanna play Fortnite if you're running Zero Build 🥴

They need to make the fireworks launcher also an EMP, disable all the ball shyte in the area so you can actually fight them.
I miss the dirt bikes, they were fun to drive
Another item very good for movement is the black panther claws, they help you move while the jet pack is out of fuel.
the jet pack never runs out of fuel if you use it right
Thank you for your consistent uploads EJ. Everyone don’t forget to use the creator code!

Well believe it or not this season is MARVEL THEMED
yeah, I noticed. But thanks for updating me captain obvious
Do EMP's do anything to iron man gear?
i thought the shield buibble would protect me against the unibeam but i was DEAD wrong
Shield bubble cannot protect you from my grenades, I always carry a shitload and the second you leave it I will be there.
Getting hit by the flare gun from the weapons bunker, hilarious!

Yes? That’s how seasonal items work?
Maybe it’s me, but I’ve found the iron man gauntlets to pretty consistently hit opponents IN cars. The default move of most car players is to try to run you over, if they coming head-on at you the gauntlets seem to target the player over the car.
I have found that the lock on effect of the gloves doesn't work well if the target is sprinting at 90 degrees to me.
THEY NERFED THE IRON MAN KIT FROM 30 TO 24 A NERF TO THE KIT MAKES ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Can u do a Short video on the pickaxe trick havent been able to figure it out

What about now that jetpacks are gone could you make another vid

Fortnite keeps dissapointing with ridiculous mythics.
I've found that shield bubbles are A MUST. It allows you to bring the fight to close quarters and use the sovereign shotgun
Yeah that’s honestly messed up epic alows an op item to get through a shield bubble

Hell of a prediction on the nerf/jinx there my friend!
Always a banger
Ran into a 0layer using both iron ban gloves and boots the jetpack and auto torrent with dooma gauntlets it was literally impossible to kill him 🤣
theres to much flying around to much muskito air fighting makes for a really annoying season
i need some tips, i wanna use the striker ar but the recoil is just to much for me. i play on 6 ads but i dont wanna change it
6? How can you track _anything_?
@@Hinne2000 i’ve genuinely never had a problem with it, it’s been the same for like 4 years
If Fortnite do nerf the iron man gauntlets I think if they decreased the amount of shots you can have before they need to cooldown would be good, still guaranteed hits but less of them, may force players to carry another weapon
My only counter for Ironman gauntlets is to close the range as much as possible with a shotgun. If possible engage inside
It's crazy how this video was posted 2 hours ago and immediately after fortnite posted how they nerved them into the ground. No more head shot damage
I talked about this probably happening in the last min or so of the video as well 😂

Ironman stuff hasn't been much of an issue compared to the shotguns.... I'm so sick of the shotguns.
I play a lot in spirts but never have i seen anyone move and hit the way Jake does. I'd like to see him try a mouse and keyboard
I literally just get on BR to grind the quests since the Iron Man update
I hope it's not going to get nerfed because it's helping fighting all this people who have all kind of hacks
Honestly, I didn’t think it could get worse after last season with the cars then this season happened. Absolutely awful.
Can someone tell me what skin he's using in the begging of the video? Thx

Exactly I was in the last 3 in a match and I had no jetpacks but the other 2 did and kept flying away from me just to comeback at me
Rifle with a good scope and three balloons it into the sky and shoot down… the gauntlets won’t even lock on because you’re too far away.
