also, something I did accidently... threw my last shockwave and did a sprint jump, but because it was my last shock, it automatically switched to my katana. Sent me 2-3x as far as a normal shock. Next time I play I will try doing it on purpose. Throw a shock, switch to katana and sprint jump... hopefully it works.
You can do this with a normal sprint jump too, not just the sword jump (obvi the sword jump will go farther but with new movement mechs its pretty good too)
@@DeezelxDr3amz you can shockwave jump ~60m with both normal jump and sprint jump. maybe ~65m if you time it perfectly with sprint. flying with sprint just burns stamina, also true with crashpad jr. (sliding over them without sprint gets you as far as with sprinting)
@@DubbX767 Yes I know, but in the zero build there are situations where the cover is almost non-existent or even in situations where you pick behind the cover and like in 1 second you are left with 20 hp
7:10 I didn't know they were rare! I encountered one yesterday and I fed it a single mini pot and it turned it into a bunch of shield fish and floppers, it's amazing
Did you capture and use it first, or just approach it? I haven't seen them yet, but the other two sprite abilities need to be "used" like one throws a grenade@@TheGumpyGump
Hit scan plus red dot lasers the reason people feel like you are dying fast is because of that. Remix we didn’t feel it because no rifles has scopes. And last chapter it was not hitscan
I'd like to know more about the void mechanics. How long does the void portal last, once open? How far away can I be before it doesn't work? Example: can I throw a void portal down behind cover that I am using, or in a building, then leave the building shockwave a couple times into a fight and portal back to where I started?
I think maybe you can test it in creative, no? But my understanding is that it's between 100 and 200 meters away. Not sure how long the void ball hangs out on the map if you don't use it after you throw it, though. Infinitely? Such a great item.
I've done something similar several times, works great. My favorite load out right now is a twin fire, void mask, shockwaves, and heals. I literally teleported behind someone with a katana today
This season the mythics have unique effects instead of just having better stats than the orange. If you look at the tool tips you'll see things like "this weapon is enhanced with faster swap speed, less penalty whilst jumping" etc.
I'd rather have bullet drop than hitscan. Getting absolutely shredded from miles away by PC players is one of the most frustrating things right now. Still don't understand why lobbies aren't separated between PC and console.
Not gonna say it's pc players or not, but I can agree that the "getting shredded in a few seconds" was one of the reasons I personally was hoping it wasn't going to be a hitscan season.
You might as well walk around with a sign that says “hey I blame everyone else for why I lose” Ever think to idk, maybe shred them back? Ever think that maybe you’re getting shredded by a controller player and you’re just looking for excuses to blame everyone else but yourself? You can have good aim and be on controller you know? Sitting here acting like the only players that are able to have good aim ate PC players is laughable and the only reason you want bullet drop is because it lowers the skill gap. I mean you’re literally commenting on a video of a controller player who kicks ass How about get good? It’s the players like you that wind up hate messaging people because you would rather blame them than yourself for sucking and until you’re willing to do that you’ll never get better. It’s honestly an insult to controller players. It’s like you want epic to hold your hand to victory.
I'm loving this Chapter so much more than 5 right off the bat, it feels like the new creative director finally understands the fortnite playerbase and knows how to deliver his own vision.
13:34 is kinda crazy. Good demonstration of that new unlimited sprint/invisibility medallion. He didn't even see you get out of the car, so he was still focusing on it allowing you to get those free shots on him. I need to see you trying that more often lol.
It's pretty common to get off the jeep at a speed to confuse players. From his angle above, he couldn't see the driver anyway, so wouldn't be able to tell as well as he couldn't see Jake get off. The timing here was perfect and would have worked even without the invisibility medallion.
Just a tip for the void mask: you CANT teleport to inside a bush. The void disappears if it lands inside a bush. I was getting so frustrated during a fight when I found out about this the hard way
Note that if you throw a void mask, it only has a range of 180m. If you travel further than that, it will disappear or cancel itself. It doesn’t appear to have a timer though, so should stay as long as you need it.
@@DeezelxDr3amz Really? I've run a test and the void portal lasted over two minutes for me before I got bored. This was about 2 days ago, so maybe they have patched it? I will test it again today.
i think my biggest problem with this season is just how accurate and hard hitting the scoped ar is, you can literally get melted out of nowhere with it. and im conflicted on if i want them to nerf it or not, cuz it's fun to use on other people, just not fun to be on the receiving end of lol
Honestly the most helpful tip was reminding me that the scoped sens affects every scope. The holo ar and red dot smg have felt hard to control but I think it’s because my scoped sens is so high from using the snipers
Helpful tips, thanks man. Chapter 6 feels good so far. Interesting and diverse map, hitscan weapons, enough mobility and good flow in the gameplay. Yay
W EJ! This chapter is fire so far! Weapons are awesome, no OP items, lots of movement options and the map looks amazing. Theyve set the bar high, cant wait to see how it develops.
I watched some of your Twitch stream today so picked up most of your tips already, but that one about the cavern beneath Magic Mosses was new to me. Thanks for yet another great informative video.
10:04 wasn’t sure if the frame drop was my new PC or not. Every so often my game freezes so not sure if that’s the lag you’re talking about. It’s enough to throw me off a fight. Also kudos Jake for showing footage that matches what you’re talking about. Often you talk over footage that isn’t in line. Small pet peeve of mine
Additional tip for everyone about the train: it spawns on the same path every game, so spots like the tunnel and the shrine outside of it actually time out to be right around when anyone capturing the chest would get it, so you can third party with loot
OMG i thought I just sucked and was getting killed because I was switching to the katana at the wrong time! Thank you for the info...I should have known it was fortnite and their broken BS!
@@drunkhusband6257no it hasn’t? The first “hitscan scoped assault rifle” was introduced in CH3 (yes I am aware of the scoped ar of previous seasons however that gun had a slow fire rate so it was balanced)
@@jwestie3653 yes and aiming idle sway so you can't just aim and wait for someone to peak. If they're gonna have hitscan they need to make adjustments so the gun isn't a laser
Tons of useful info in this video. And thank you for telling us how to Dino Dash with the katana. And dude, your PC is god tier. I am gonna steal your PC and leave a pile of Wendy's cheeseburgers on your desk to keep you occupied, buying myself some time for the getaway.
Very happy with this season. All the weapons feel viable, but none feel outwardly better. Love the sprites and boons. All seem balanced and useful. Love love love the outplay potential of the void mask. This season is worth the torture of playing through the twisted metal season
2:10 This is something I haven't tested, but I think you can angle your trajectory to get an extra boost. You get that side boost off it. Honestly other wise that wall run barely means shit.
I think the reason for the sword lag on PC is because of the FOV shift when you pull the sword out, i kept getting wild fps drops, tearing and other issues because im KBM so when id rapid swap between sword and guns or sword and heals or something it would glitch my whole screen out and then i got stuck in the wider sword fov while using my guns normally it was trippy
Scope sensitivity was a great tip. The season's a lot of fun. I hope you keep up the videos because I think it's going to be at least in the short term a period of growth for fortnite
Great vid Jake. Can we compare actual numbers of fall damage with the roll? AKA jump from the same height with and without the roll, see if the damage is reduced or the same.
ive seen the earth sprite twice so far, i think they only spawn in set locations tho. so maybe just learn where they spawn and check those during the match
Thank you Jake for the video helpful as always. I still think you can go pro out of all the TH-camrs I watch your hands down most skill full at least thats how it seems and thank you again because you explained a lot of what I needed help with this season your my fav 👍👍👍
W video Jake. I’ve seen crowns on the compass at 2000+ meters. Crazy. Liking the season so far. Would love to see the dumb melee stuff removed permanently but it seems fortnite love giving poor players a chance.
My guy, ur a lifesaver. I raised the scope sensitivity for snipers ands was wondering y i could'nt shoot for shit with a these new weapons. Its the scope throwing me off then
This season has such a fast TTK that a single lag burst/freeze for about 1 second had me go from running in the open to dead by the time the short freeze ended 💀
Also, did you know about the troll map location just west of Foxy Floodgate? There's a "No Dancing" sign at the edge of a cliff. You'll FAFO if you dare dance there without breaking the sign first!

Nice!
Just died to the katana and got assassinated out of nowhere and got 2nd. Its so annoying.
This season compared to other ones feels a lot more balanced, i really don't see weapons or things needed to be nerfed, good video jake btw
I think, the void mask will get some nerf, it's incredibly strong, if used correctly.
@@aaronc9458in what way
@@aaronc9458it’s just a teleportation device, what’s there to nerf?
other then chap 1 and 2 s1 this season is pretty balanced
Veiled smg is kinda crazy with the hitscan. I think the small mag size keeps it balanced. But wouldnt be surprised if they add a little recoil to it.
10:11 hit dude so hard he started hitting the griddy
I think his emote button is broken cu, it happens to me too where my buttons like are broken on my controller 😂😂😂
Lmao I saw that out the corner of my eye when I was watching the first time and had to rewatch to make sure lmao.
I'm loving this season, apart from the hitscan, I feel like I'm losing hp very quickly. I always have to play behind something to not die instantly
always had to do that
@@DubbX767 Yes I know, but in the zero build there are situations where the cover is almost non-existent or even in situations where you pick behind the cover and like in 1 second you are left with 20 hp
The ARs are crazy. You can delete someone from 250 hp almost instantly is you nail your shots.
@@blackstrapelectrikco.8565 exactly
Agreed. Especially in trios and quads. Team shot gets you downed very very quickly. Feel the guns need a bit more recoil.
7:10 I didn't know they were rare! I encountered one yesterday and I fed it a single mini pot and it turned it into a bunch of shield fish and floppers, it's amazing
thats crazy!
@@EvolveJake It gave me orange weapons whenever I fed it guns of any rarity ( did not try common )
I tried to feed one, but it wouldn't take anything I had.
Did you capture and use it first, or just approach it? I haven't seen them yet, but the other two sprite abilities need to be "used" like one throws a grenade@@TheGumpyGump

“I would love for someone to come at me with this exploit” lmaooo yo I love Jake’s calm confidence
So helpful! Thanks a lot! ❤

It gets really confusing in a busy fight
This season is amazing!! I won’t play it more than cod but I’m having a lot of fun. Thanks for covering as always Jake! You are the best !
How do you move so smoothly on controller? Can you make a video on tips for that?
I didn't understand the Show Item option. Now it makes sense.
not saying this isn’t interesting, but books like Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki make this look like child’s play
Veiled Precision SMG is S+
No Bs. So much info. Great job. Thanks
Hollow twister AR is BUSTED honestly I’m of opinion that Hitscan assault rifles shouldn’t have scopes

Great tips , great content jake.

The roll doesn’t remove fall damage but it does reduce it and prevent it at certain heights so keep that in mind.

I'm digging the scope sensitivity thing.. I wished I saw this video earlier... (I was busy playing 😂)

You a life saver

Be careful with the earth sprite. You don't always get what you give. I gave an assault rifle and got back a smg.
I have played 50 games this season with zero wins. I did much better last season idk whats wrong lol
take note of what is killing you. im mainly dying to smgs instead of shottys. Also, the TTK is very fast. Can go from full hp to 0 in a second now
Even in pubs I feel like there are way less bots this season. Definitely harder to win.
This season has such a fast TTK that a single lag burst/freeze for about 1 second had me go from running in the open to dead by the time the short freeze ended 💀
Do you have any tips to easily kill people spamming the sword?
Precision smg will shred those boys
The hunting rifle still has crazy drop. I’m having to aim well above their head just to get any type of hit from any sort of distance
Thnx again man.
Does the roll reduce fall damage though? Or is it literally no difference other than the momentum?
This is the best season yet!!
Scope sensitivity? Where is this setting?
Mind blown! 🤯
11:28 I saw a 1,800 meter crown earlier today
Also, did you know about the troll map location just west of Foxy Floodgate? There's a "No Dancing" sign at the edge of a cliff. You'll FAFO if you dare dance there without breaking the sign first!
I really like this season💪💪
Was there supposed to be a swing mechanic at a certain POI!? Have I missed it or was it not added yet
So with Hunting Rifle i should aim to the head? Even if hes running?
The katana lag was something I never knew, I play on Steam but never noticed any frame drops...? Maybe its not a constant issue?
Definite Breath of the Wild vibes this season 😀
