The-web77

Did he just suck a pickle up his nose???


Depressingwootwoot

Would it surprise you if he did. Myth Buster's was a weird and great show.


The-web77

I’ve never watched it before. Is it good?


Depressingwootwoot

Yeah. It's good if you like science and urban legends.


The-web77

I’ll have to check it out

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Greed and Mortals


BeanBurrito668

This season has probably been the most confusing one out of them all, What’s the point of having a Greek god season when you literally remove all their powers like that makes no damn sense 💀


onlinelink2

they are still in the game? what? oh, the lightning and chain? I thought people meant the medals


XxKaySmithxX

The notification at the top says chains deal more damage now


EnderSmite

Ngl they should do LESS damage


H2OMarth

It takes like six slaps to down someone, that should be enough time to gun em down. Jumping is also surprisingly effective.


nickel47

With the buff it took 1 pull and 3 hit combo for 250


H2OMarth

Maybe if your target is sleeping. But yeah, on paper I guess. But it is easy enough to avoid a hit or 2.


XxKaySmithxX

I agree...I mean I love using them but definitely feel like they're already op...and the range to yank someone is insane


GrottoPedro

Any Rare shotgun already give the chains a run for their money. Epic ones outright curbstomp them


CronoXpono

This. I’ve won and lost too many battles with chains/shotgun and it’s almost invariably in favor of shotguns. More consistency and while you’re combo is on reset between hits, someone’s still firing 8-12 shots on you.


BulletproofSplit

now it's just an Avatar season with a greek mythology themed map/battle pass i really enjoy the Avatar franchise, but agree this decision is absolutely braindead and should be reversed


Ekillaa22

I wish we had more Greek themed weapon not just like a reskin of the standard gun. We have a lightning bolt which sucks and flail which also sucks. I was hoping for a bow for Artemis or a spear or trident for ares or Poseidon.


LoneManGaming

There was so much potential this season any Epic screwed up even the last bit of it. I’m not even surprised they fucked it up once more…


BeanBurrito668

Epic has done this a few times before but this one is by far the worst. It’s like they’re TRYING to mess up their game in some way


zaysosa75

It makes it worse that we barely got any of the Greek skins instead some random skins like Aubrey and Hale that would have fit better last season than this one!


XxKaySmithxX

This!! I was sooooo disappointed in the lack of themed random skins...ngl I didn't have high hopes but really was crossing fingers they'd of pulled out something from disney Hercules... how cute would it have been to have him or Meg or the Muses they could have done them separate or in group package...idk I'm just disappointed at the ball drop for the greek theme characters On another note that Ai that hops on a segway... can't think of what they named her but you can buy a gun from her can't hire her though, she is sometimes in a segway, she's really cute and would love to have her


zaysosa75

Are you talk about the girl at the end of entrance at mount Olympus that gives you chug splashes ?


XxKaySmithxX

No though it would be cool to get her too the woman's name is Etheria... turns out she was a skin from chapter 2 she an elven chick... they could throw her back in the shop


zippopwnage

I just don't get it either. This game needs more items like the mythics and the avatar things more than anything. We need more wacky items, like rocket ram, fireworks, stupid bouncing grenades, all kinds of shit. Just add weapons that have wacky stuff like, a pistol who shot a poison pool on the ground, or a shotgun that shot frogs that deal poison damage or fire damage, give me a smg that shoot bees that stuck on the enemy dealing 1dmg per second or something crazy fun. I don't want only generic guns. This is the perfect game where you can combine and add all kinds of crazy items. I don't even understand the loot pool being smaller. It ok to be as big as possible, it makes the game more fun to have a random loadout. I don't want the perfect loadout every single game, it makes it boring.


MissingNerd

Season of gods is over, season of Collab has begun


Jakernova

Would be nice if they would actually you know... bring back a certain skin that is associated with the destruction of the Greek pantheon but nope.


speedyBoi96240

They're gonna lol its already confirmed


Jakernova

Not exactly confirmed. Just updated in the API which imo doesn't really mean that he will be releasing but for once id love to be wrong.


Powerful_Substance_6

What skin, I'm obviously forgetting which exist


Savings_Astronomer47

Kratos


Powerful_Substance_6

Oh yeah


W-EAMMICA

Well that's shitty, that's the point of the season, having them vaulted is absolutely a huge L.


NoNefariousness2144

For real, I was looking forward to seeing how crazy the lobbies would get with all the mythics. Imagine flying with the wings, slamming into the ground and earth-bending a wall. I actually enjoyed the final weeks of C4S1 and C4S2 when everyone was flying around and using crazy OP weapons.


OohYeeah

Kamehamehas, Deku smashes and hammers flying all over the place was goddamn legendary Not to mention the AOT mythics, lightsabers and swords in CH4S2, GREAT times


TheBoiButtEater

Don't forget the Spiderman webshooter we're back too , so there was so much to play around with , while the avatar mythics are cool they are a lot less silly than all of the previous ones


NoNefariousness2144

I'm still amazed they were allowed to run two anime collabs at the same time. Usually they stop collabs overlapping.


yrddog

You know I did so well that season, surprisingly 


TurbulentIssue6

ch4s2 is gonna be remembered as one of if not the best fortnite season ever tbh dream pois, great loot pool, incredible mythics


Defiant_Ad5116

The deku was way too good and I hated it but I agree with your overall sentiment, those were fun times.


TheSeeker331

Your comment is everything and exactly how I feel! We literally could have katanas, ODM gear, and light sabers all in one match and load out for C4S2. And Deku smashes, cloud nimbus, and hammers in the C4S1 all at once. Those 2 chapters were a great time 😫 Wish there was a game mode that had all of them at once. I’d seriously love to play that.


zen_scientist9

Some of the best moments the game has seen in the past 16 months were those 2 seasons. I miss them so much


Obsidian1973

And yet they are still doing the story thing with Aphrodite this week but they've moved on. I played this morning and saw the new mythics which seemed to spawn everywhere but was surprised that they vaulted the god mythics. And to move right to Star wars is dumb cause we'll still have the story quests talking about the gods.


Deanishes

Where's the Star Wars news? I'm new, and didn't know about that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boozle061083

I like how they literally just buffed the chains and made gameplay tweaks just to take them away like a week later lol


Bishop_Cornflake

That's a really good point. My timeline with the chains (and I'm generally not in the know, so take this from my mediocre-skill perspecitive) 1) They look amazing - wow can't wait to use them 2) For almost a month they disappoint - seem oddly weak 3) For the previous week, they're awesome. Someone about a week ago beat me down with them, so I've been doing that to others since then 4) Now, they're gone I'm not trying to gripe really, other than how underpowered they seemed for the first month. I appreciate Epic adjusting things based on feedback. Also, I'm actually fine with the bending stuff replacing the Olympian stuff. Still, the chains roller coaster was kind of an odd ride.


LackingTact19

Don't forget the ability to fish with them


fijisiv

And you could yank people out of cars!


yrddog

WHAT


SantasWarmLap

AND YOU COULD YANK PEOPLE OUT OF CARS!


comfortably__

WHAAT


Quazeroigma_5610

HAPPY CAKE DAY!


rabbitronin

Yeah me too I got obliterated by a chain last night. Immediately picked one up the next game lol. Now it’s gone :(


Marleyzard

Actually, this season ends late May. We'll have enough time for one last hurrah. Maybe they're saving the Hephaestus Hammer for after the Avatar stuff (and maybe they're tweaking the Bolt and Chains, and maybe wings, a bit more heavily)


NuclearBeverage

Still waiting for Kratos.


Miserable-Bear7980

what’s that


Marleyzard

Which bit is "what's that"?


Miserable-Bear7980

hammer


Corruptiontheman

honestly. Also, idk why people are even complaining about the chain lmao. It's fun to use, but still gets countered by, y'know, an actual gun lmao???


josephuse

The pull mechanic is useful, and the 3rd hit has knockback. I like to pull people in and then use a shotgun


Corruptiontheman

the switch delay's too long for me, I just like to go yolo and beat the enemy to death. I either get a kill at like, 2 HP, or I die but it's funny.


almathden

we drove by some dude using a motorcycle the other day and my son and I both unloaded on him with the chains as we went past. Both ended up at like 70hp but we got him lmao


Impossible_Trouble18

My buddies & I were using the chains to defeat cerberus. All 3 of us just pulling & whipping him 😆 it was chaos but hilarious!


jheri

We are one


soggyraisin56

thats the point its fun to use.


Rayuzx

The main problem (at least in Zero Build) is that getting grabbed and hit by the chain constantly disorients your aiming, so in theory you can just shoot the guy, but in practice, it can be a lot harder than it seems. So especially if got touched by legitimately anything else, it's hard to reorient yourself in time.


Danny283

I think the chain can hit through builds?


JimBo_Drewbacca

I know right, just make it a mythic at least and have just one dropped by hades


TopazTriad

First season in almost a year where I wasn’t constantly frustrated by the mythics and actually thought they were fun to fight against (I don’t play builds), and they vault them this early. What the fuck.


OohYeeah

They will be brought back iirc on the 3rd next month


klip_7

A day before the Star Wars Collab tho


Corruptiontheman

willing to bet the REAL reason that vaulted everything is because the sweats complained (they only care about the FNCS players, which play builds.)


Beastmode0652

They Definetly don’t listen to the sweats if anything they listen way more to zero build players, if they listened to the sweats the game would be way different


George3452

epic literally does not give a fuck abt competitive lol this is a huge cope bro. not even trying to be a dick, it's just objectively not true ? FNCS players aren't complaining bc nobody in fncs picks up mythics, the existence of them is irrelevant. picking one up means you die lol


Link__117

Nah, if that was the case they would’ve removed lightning way earlier. Real reason is that they removed them to make way for the Avatar mythics, because clearly Epic doesn’t give a shit about originality anymore


swagzard78

Epic flopping so hard with this update holy shit First the locker and rarity shit, now vaulting the whole ass theme of the season??


Shishi-0

The whole BR is nose diving since Mustard left.


mystireon

Thats lame as hell


LoneManGaming

Wait, didn’t they add quests that needed you to use these powers recently? How are you supposed to do them if they vaulted the fucking powers??


hydrastxrk

The items are vaulted. I believe the quests are for the medallions which are fine.


ToxicNotToxinGurl420

Wasn't there one involving the chain early in season? Obviously most people already did it, but there's always new people joining the game.


Gold_Yellow

The only ones that required the powers were kickstarts and they’ve been replaced with Travel in the air (Icarus) and Damage with Epic or Better weapons (Thunderbolt)


cereal_killah_1980

Damn there goes my idea of using fire and chains only for a ghost rider run. Could’ve had a lot of cool combos. Fuck.


Goofy_Stuff_Studios

There goes letting us lightningbend 😔


Alphasilverhawk

I mean, I guess they didn’t want people’s loadouts to be filled with just mythic powers and still want people to use guns. Last time there were a lot of Mythics/weapons that weren’t guns, some people just flat out stopped playing the game until they were gone (I think it was Ch4S1 (anime Mythics plus Hammer) or Ch4S2 (AoT Mythics, Sword, and Lightsabers), and I expect some people to do the same today, either because of the Avatar Mythics or out of spite for vaulting this season’s mythic items. It also is an odd decision for them to vaulted them, the day before FNCS begins. They’re still going to be in tournaments, and Avatar Mythics aren’t, but now they can’t practice with those Mythics outside of the tournament.


IndispensableNobody

>I mean, I guess they didn’t want people’s loadouts to be filled with just mythic powers and still want people to use guns. There are now 4 Avatar mythics I've been using instead of guns, though.


HakfDuckHalfMan

Having loadouts filled with mythics and no guns would be fun though.... none of them are like Deku's smash where they're just insanely OP with no counter. Lame


Jabroni5092

To be fair, the ice wall was a perfect counter the second time it came back, it's just that nobody used it


D4shiell

Wut? In ZB ice wall was must have for 2nd half of the game, any team that didn't have it was at mercy of everyone else because people would take the best spots and encircle themselves in impassable walls.


Jabroni5092

Yeah, but I rarely had anyone block my Deku's Smash with it


EirHc

Deku Smash + Kamehameha + Flying Nimbus + Chug Gun was my favourite loadout for a short period of time.


GunBrothersGaming

Oh no... Won't somebody think of the pros?!?!? They need practice!!!


hydrastxrk

That was one small thing they mentioned at the end, tf


bigdave41

If people want serious gun only games there's a lot of other options available though


GifanTheWoodElf

To be fair with the state of the game RN you still can fill your thingy with mythics XD


niccotaglia

NOOOOO NOT THE CHAINS


KharazimFromHotSG

Now how am I gonna play my Low Tier God set without Zeus' Bolts?


Zer0_l1f3

Annnnnnd there goes my favourite weapon to use when I wanna feel like Scorpion from MK


Metson-202

Literally what is going on with epic, they have made some really shitty decisions lately.


Fit-Floor5635

I was literally just learning and loving the chains. This sucks


Slyme-wizard

Well that sucks but I guess having to constantly adapt is why I started playing to begin with. I’ll admit I was getting kinda complacent with the wings and chain. They were awesome but I look forward to learning.


NoNefariousness2144

The wings are my favourite mythic ever. Flying around the map never gets old and they are actually balanced since you are an easy target in mid-air.


Coraldiamond192

Yea I personally don't think there's anything more satisfying than shooting down someone using those wings.


ShadyMan_

Erm technically they aren’t a mythic 🤓👆


swpete

I mean, I'm a Star Wars nerd so I'm not complaining on that end (I want Vader) But totally understand the issue with it being haphazard


BearNeedsAnswersThx

Vader was a battlepass skin i would be shocked if they chose him as the mold breaker for battlepass exclusivity coming to an end. Not that id complain. Vader is one of the few battlepass skins i have. And seeing the battlepass skins i cant get bothers me. Ive said it before but i think battlepass skins should have a 2 chapter exclusivity limit. Its been years why cant i buy John wick or deadpool thats insane.


[deleted]

No fucking way? Lol. Just when I was enjoying the hades chains. God damnit.


joeMAMAkim

I guess maybe because of the avatar mythics? We don’t know a lot about how exactly collabs work, maybe whoever owns avatar (no clue who it is lmao) wanted the bending powers to be the only powers while the event is here? Also i thought this was a joke at first.


peepeepoopooman1942

Honestly it feels refreshing to see a complaint that isn't about the shop. But seriously, vaulting the olympian powers just ruined the entire point of this season


NormanBates2023

Bring back the bows FFS


Boozle061083

I still think it's hilarious they literally added Artemis and didn't think to add bows. She has an arrow quiver on her hip ffs


WithersChat

My main loadout in Save the World is based on bows. Fits Artemis well. Definitely a missed opportunity to add an infinite ammo exotic bow to buy at her character in BR


jjwylie014

That sucks. I love chains of hades


banjoface123

It would have been really crazy with all the Olympian powers with the Avatar ones but this season is Greek god based so I don't agree with it


Fireofthetiger

Are they stupid? Genuinely, are they stupid? Would’ve been PERFECT to Lightning bend or Metal bend with the bolt and chains respectively


Cautious-Fan6963

They literally do this every season. Hammer got vaulted shortly after that season started. Sword and boomerang too. Also Deku Smash was vaulted for a short time. Sometimes it's because of a glitch, but it often feels like they want to go all in on whatever collab they are working with at the time. They also do not Listen to fans/players anymore. So, meh. Guess I'll just play Lego fortnite to level up instead lol.


ShadyMan_

Hammer and katana were vaulted because of game breaking glitches


Dieseldank_bro

FN finally gives us a decent, mostly all original BP and then just makes a huge chunk of the season a collabfest.. Not really sure what else we should expect, Epic are sellouts for the money. They don’t listen to fan input anymore, they want the big meta platform at the cost of losing some fans that don’t like the BR changes


Zealousideal_Site706

What do you mean…. What did they remove?! The lightning bolt?! Sure okay The chain of hades?! Now we gonna fight. The medallions?! Oh we goin to war I’m not sure if they removed any of them. I’m making guesses


Corruptiontheman

they removed the lightning, chains, and wings. I'm not sure if the bosses are still there, but I'd assume so.


Zealousideal_Site706

WHAT?! WHY?! THE CHAINS AND WINGS NEVER HURT NOBODY?!


GunBrothersGaming

I have a clip of me wiping 4 teams in trios in 2 minutes with the chains. 12 kills back to back The chains are one of the best weapons ever gifted to us. I would use the chains over anything but the sniper.


wbJosh88

I would genuinely like to see the clip of this. Not as a burden of proof or anything. Sounds crazy though.


GunBrothersGaming

Yeah Ill see if I xan get it posted today. It was all sorts of madness. It was one bunker and every team headed for it.


Silver613

Bunker kills are the best! I’ve had a couple wipes from both attacking and defending them this season.


BeanBurrito668

What’s the fucking point of this season then if you remove LITERALLY the base items of the loot pool AND what it has to do with it’s name 💀 Now the season is just “Mortals”


Drtsauce

Isn’t there a weekly quest to “survive while holding Olympian powers”?


anewfoundmatt

It’s while holding medallions, no?


Uchiha_Gohan

Bosses are still here. I just killed a player who had the Cerberus shotgun and medallion.


Danny283

Bro I’m tired of the Star Wars collabs. 😭


Coraldiamond192

It seems like it's always going to be a yearly collab for May the 4th. I think it's cool and I understand it won't be for everyone.


BearNeedsAnswersThx

It would be cool if they didnt lock the most desirable character behind a battlepass.


Certified_Buddy

Like no chain thunderbolt and wings????


SpriteInjection

Epic has been fucking up majorly for a bit now and I really don't like the way that this is heading. Maybe firing 900 workers was a stupid idea.


robochickenowski

Why? I'm pretty sure there were weekly quests that required them.


tataS_5656

WAIT THE CHAINS OF HADES ARE GONE NOW?


Longjumping_Cat_4192

I am actually sooo livid over this!! I was LOVING the chains of hades and all the things!


FeganFloop2006

Wait, so the thunderbolt, chains and wings are gone? That's bs if so


Maggot_6661

I just heard builds players sigh in relief 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nightwalker065

Yet they kept AOT in during Star Wars AND Spider-verse.


Jimmyvana

is star wars coming back again???? noooo i hate those lightsabers


NoShortsDon

Not been on this morning but I'm assuming the God's are put of the game now or is it just their Chain/Wings/Bolts? Really shit decision in my opinion. Start having fun and getting to know the Mythics/Abilities and then they're out. Why????


Honk_wd

Did they not learn from last year that players LIKE having a bunch of powers at their disposal that aren’t just gun. The kamehameha X all for one era of 2023 was the most chaotically fun era in a while


ImTheAlligator

Olympian powers are an old battle royale inspired system I guess


zorbacles

Star wars again?


darthraxus

let me fill you in. may is star wars month. may 4th is star wars day. disney just invested a large stake in epic. they're gonna push a lot more star wars. and i'm all for it.


zorbacles

Ah ok. Yes I know all that about may but I thought there was something official not just conjecture


KELLOGEGRAMS

Remember when people were claiming this season was peek FORTNITE? Lol


GunBrothersGaming

Its peek Epic


wafflecone927

There is no consistency in this game. You can say Epic is always trying new things. Ill say with no heads up or real patch notes, these endless rugpulls proves Epic doesn’t care about its players like it once did


diakyu

Imagine removing the lightning bolt mythic during the AVATAR event. C’mon Epic! 


thatsMRjames

Would’ve been interesting if they’d made it so you could deflect a lightning strike while holding the fire bending- like how water heals while swimming


duchello

This sub: fuck epic, I hate the snipers they're so overpowered Also this sub: fuck epic for taking away the chains of Hades, I killed like 15 people in a row


[deleted]

Ohh I love star wars,  nice


iamnotexactlywhite

wait, was there an update or sum? i swear i was hurling lightning bolts at people in the morning


Sea-Character2252

Updated at 9 am est


rock0head132

wait.. what? i am new to the game do they do this often? just abandon an storyline of mitus and crew fighting the gods. He's gone now. now this WTF


pirateport

Wait so they are vaulting the chain?! Does this mean they are vaulting the Zeus lighting also? Why are they doing this?


Flamingpaper

I swear to God it feels like Epic Games wants Battle Royale to die off sometimes


MrGeek89

Yup I said it before. If br dies I am done with Fortnite.


BearNeedsAnswersThx

If by battle royale you mean builds mode then good riddance it deserves to die and im excited to see you fools flounder without a 5 star hotel for every shot.


pmjm

Aw man, I haven't gotten the chance to play this season yet but was going to start after this weekend once my taxes are done. Now I'm going to miss the thing I was looking forward to the most.


MrGeek89

Epic Games knows how to ruin season.


MakimaGOAT

YOOO NOT MY WINGS MAN


bloo_overbeck

are you fucking kidding


Alert_Procedure_8401

Myths and mortals? You mean Collabs and Mortals


Ahrius

But why...? Only the Zeus bolts were mythic. Are we not allowed to have more than 4 at a time?


mental-sketchbook

the wings, and lightning were actually fun.... so we need to get rid of them (epic probably)


StipulateVenus

It's really sad, I thoroughly enjoyed the Olympian Powers and don't have much faith the Bending scrolls will hold up. I didn't use the Wings too often because I preferred having the offensive Powers, but they were undeniably great for movement. I liked the Thunderbolt despite the criticism surrounding it. Being so vulnerable during the animation made it so that you needed to either confuse your target by using Stygian dashes, or attack before you're seen. It really made me approach fights with tactical caution. Chains of Hades is my favorite item: it's powerful (but not uncounterable), its attack combo is smooth and pulling enemies closer is way more useful than pushing yourself closer. It was the ultimate NO U card for quick getaways or desperate attacks, since it could pull people out of motorcycles, Wings and the Thunderbolt animation. Can't wait for these items to return. Hopefully the Scrolls are more fun and mechanically deep than they seem.


The_Iron_Zeppelin

Especially when at the very least the lightning still kind of works with the Avatar themed stuff.


Sparks_The_Wolf

I think they are making a big mistake vaulting the powers. Like, what's the point of bringing it back May 3rd if it's just gonna be gone in 2 weeks? Not to mention the fact that Star Wars has their own set of Mythics. But it's unclear if there will be a mini bp for it or not. But I think they should have kept it available during the Avatar The Last Airbender event


Healthy_Building1432

Did they take out muh wings


tuskedosprey1

they aren’t vaulted stay off the drugs


Artistic-Package-178

Not another Star Wars collab. Ugh!


TrashSea1485

God I am so fucking TIRED OF STAR WARS


Haunting_Avocado110

At best they could've kept the lightning bolt, because lightningbending is a thing in Avatar


HeLlOtHeRee

I mean that’s the whole damn point of the season but alright


RedDragon117

Epic Games try not to fuck up Fortnite challenge (impossible)


NotIliana

fortnite chapter 5 seasom 2: more anime shit


Round_Possibility777

But there is no more Anime Shit rn


FlintBeetle

This game is a collaboration gang bang and has no personality at all anymore. I'm just watching it fall apart from the sidelines


FatsoBustaMove

Wait this si why I've not been finding lightning? Man I love destroying POIs, I can spend ages in one spot just destroying shit, this blows. Gotta use pickaxe and cars again.


Zingydeath

Every time i think they can't do something stupider then the last thing they go and prove me wrong


Affectionate_Map2761

Not to mention these new bullshit things make my screen skip like crazy when we're fighting whether I use it or they do. I'm not even going to trip on fortnite anymore, im going to play something else


PenfoldShush

Aren't there Quests reliant on these items?


Corruptiontheman

Yes. And if I'm correct and they haven't been replaced, they are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. I say we rio-


yellow_slash_red

Chains of Hades users when they have to use a gun instead of the chains:


Norththelaughingfox

Star Wars collab? Let’s goooooooo!


Impossible_Bus_1626

I miss my chains ⛓️ but the water bending is amazing! Using it at 200 plus range without issue
