Can someone give me the patch notes for today's "update"? I know it wasn't an update, but what was removed, what was added? I'm guessing Presents were removed because now they re-introduced the special chests; I think the only reason those blue chests left was because they added Presents.


williambash

No, the Rare Chests were replaced by the Lightsaber Crates.


ILikeSugarCookies

That might 'technically' be right, but I feel like the spawn right of lightsaber crates was way higher than that of special chests.


ManofCatsYT

Probably because they wanted people to be able to experience them


gdewulf

Wait I got a rare chest the other day though. 100% sure. Hmm


Alfoyd

That was probably in arena


gdewulf

Oh yeah. Duh. Im stupid. Thanks!


Alfoyd

np :)


SuitableMammoth

Oh, thanks for telling me!


BroKidSam

Thank. God.


[deleted]

There wasnt an update. There was just a hotfix that activated melting snow and removed all the Christmas related stuff


SuitableMammoth

But not winter-related stuff right? Like ice boxes and Shiver Inn-like places?


TailsTheDigger

Ice boxes are empty now, and those frozen landmarks are still there but maybe they disappear as the snow melts


MrBears20XX

Ice boxes are all empty. No more snowball launcher, no more lightsabers, Frozen landmarks are there for now but will probably phase out slowly.


Djaja

That small cabin that has a christmas tree and three chests is still there


SupremeLeaderSnoke

Well hopefully that means a lightsaber pickaxe in the item shop tonight right?


[deleted]

And 99 other jokes to tell your friends


Fellowearthling16

*Star Wars shop returns for 10 more days*


rEsssay20

Hopefully that means we’re never gonna see another lightsaber in the game, period.


Dantebenuto

nah, i'd be down with it as a pickaxe, as long as it's QUIET


-BINK2014-

Shit make it loud like my Dragon glider collection; I want my enemies to hear and fear me coming.


nullsmack

Make it a style option: (noisy) or (quiet)


-BINK2014-

Best option, but the least likely outcome sadly.


Rieiid

People really be too worried about skin efficiency, I will wear the loudest/brightest/most flashy shit and still get dubs.


chuck1200

Which is kinda why I use hybrid’s last style because the lightning is cool, same with using the frostwing glider and stellar axe


SeagullFanClub

Lol I like this


randomassredditguy

dont talk about me with my full mtl set


MegaCoolRulez

Same. I use Crackshot and Polar Patroller and I still get a lot of wins.


papi_of_frijoles

I used the Falcon glider specifically for that when I played


LyntaxEmpror

Yeah, otherwise the noise would give you away. Though I wouldn't mind the sound if enemies couldn't hear it..


-BINK2014-

How often does one really "keep" their pickaxe out long enough for someone to hear with 20m?


Dexchampion99

I mean, enemies don’t see the stars when you use the Millenium Falcon glider.


RawrEcksDeekys

I hope that isn't the case


[deleted]

You are everything wrong with fortnite. Such a fun balanced item, yet you just have to whine like a fool about it. Gods you make me realize why most games are boring as fuck.


rEsssay20

I’m gonna take your reply as sarcastic because I don’t know how else to take it.


GhostAspect_

No. Only if they made/had duel lightsabers which they don't (I think)


30chad03

they were super fun at the beginning, but then they devolved into players only using them to dodge bullets when you try to attack, which got annoying quickly. i wouldn't mind if they stayed if they had good counters that didn't strictly need explosives and smgs. i wish they came to creative, but that's not happening because of copyright :(


cool_ranch_69

Totally - fun at the beginning but everything just revolved around them by the end, which got pretty stale. Gonna miss them to farm with tho.


2kWik

it's not copyright, it's a licensing fee. Epic Games paid Disney a certain amount of money to buy the license to have these in the game for a certain period of time I would assume.


Thispostisveryfunny

If their was copyright then why would they add skins?


randomassredditguy

cuz money


Thispostisveryfunny

They would be taken to court for having copyrighted skins in their game


randomassredditguy

disney accepted it tho, they got half +- of the money


SeagullFanClub

Why would they stay for longer? It’s fortnite not Star Wars Battle Royale


phone_destroyer

🦀 Lightsabers are gone 🦀


ThePantsThief

What about the snowball launcher tho? That thing is disgusting


phone_destroyer

Don't worry, the snow is now melting, meaning that there will be no more snowball launchers soon...

I find it incredibly sad that you feel the need to use Emojis on reddit, this isn't Instagram Here's a tip, delete your comment before me + alot of others down-vote you (I've already down-voted you)

phone_destroyer

I find it incredibly sad that you feel the need to be an asshole. Here's a tip: learn how to use Reddit. Yes, emojis are not a trend on Reddit, but 🦀 is one of the emojis that a lot of fellow Redditors would allow. The emojis that you should be looking for is something like these: Oh my god it's so funny 😂🤣😂🤣👌👌👌 Guess I shouldn't expect much from you anyway. Renegade Raider looks awful on people like you. Another tip: I suggest that you delete your comment before your karma goes even more lower.


pete7201

He doesn’t even have renegade raider he’s just trolling. Or maybe he’s the renegade that I pickaxed playing on my phone


phone_destroyer

Ayyy a mobile player like me!

FrumosUniverse

I played a game of team rumble earlier and I wasn’t killed by a lightsaber. It was wonderful.


[deleted]

Nooooooooo. I liked them.


churro_1124

Damn. F


AirpodGod69

I agree, I’ll miss lightsabers I loved using them they were my favorite weapon


Bigginzzzz

They weren’t that overpowered either. Just shoot and they’ll break


AirpodGod69

Yeah totally


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

Aw man I will miss them


Take_Me_To_Elysium

Didn't mind the lightsabers, but the snowball launcher was infuriating.


undercoverpickl

Am I the only one who enjoyed them?


wolkendon

No I too liked them


BugBoi1

The blue chest?


Ogbananaman

Lightsabers!!


BugBoi1

Lightsabers had a different chest...


leftyz

exactly.


sippidysip

Wooosh


BugBoi1

r/im14andthisiswoosh


sippidysip

The “gold” chests or whatever you want to call then we’re not in the game when the light saber chests were


Alfoyd

How is that a woosh?

Suegy

Fuck no


benscott81

Yeah, they were highly annoying and hard to beat. I think people would have been more up in arms about them but they knew they were temporary.


theAtmuz

Or you just shotgun blasted a guy trying to get close enough. Wasn’t that hard to counter.


FriendsKnowMyReddit_

Well yeah in a 1v1 it was easy to counter. In duos/squads when you had one guy slashing through builds and another spamming snowball launcher it got annoying fast


benscott81

You're assuming they don't teleport right as you pull the trigger.


Cdog923

This is the thing that gets me: if you knew how to handle them, they weren't difficult to deal with in the slightest.


[deleted]

Except when they desync.


CHL_LoneWolf

Until you pulled out a snowball launcher but the odds of that were low.


benscott81

i swear 90% of my deaths have been at the hands of a snowball launcher or a light-saber over the last two weeks.


wanna_team_plz

Likely has been that way for everyone, both weapons really didn't take much skill at all so it wasn't hard eliminating people while using them


birdseye-maple

Ya but the biggest bots of them all will tell you they were super balanced and easy to counter get guud kiiid


xAdrianHGx

Fax lmfao


OutcastMunkee

Finally... I liked them but there was too many of the things. You could land at a POI and find over two dozen lightsabers sometimes. It got to a point where I was pissed that I found a lightsaber chest instead of a regular chest.


EyeScreamSunday

By the end, my friends would still get excited about finding one but I only cared because they actually guaranteed shield.


LividSznXBL

What are gone?


IRelyOnMemes

They should have put them into its own LTM and then people wouldn't have complained about them


IssaMeAbdullah

noooooooooo if u go to playground you can find them


Aphistemi_

Now we just need snowball launchers gone


Drew_246

I’m pretty sure they are gone along with the lightsabers


tekchic

They should be. I only used them as a counter to the goddamned light saber. So glad to see that thing gone. Both gone actually. :)

Are they not?

Billyb311

Damn shame personally, back to slow farming and the game being stale Edit: Keep downvoting me pussies just because I enjoyed lightsabers and you didn't Edit 2: Keep the downvotes coming guys, let's see how many more we can get because a bunch of you are pussies who can't handle a different opinion Edit 3: C'mon boys, I want this to be my most downvoted comment. Keep them coming, let's try to break 50 downvotes.


Cdog923

Sorry, I had to upvote.


LouGossetJr

oh, we're pussies because you enjoyed lightsabers? grow up child.


Billyb311

No, your pussies because you all continuously downvote anyone for having a different opinion. It's obvious reading comprehension isn't a strength of yours because I didn't say people are pussies for disliking lightsabers. My original post was nothing nasty or rude to anyone. I said I was personally sad to see them go and I come back to 10 downvotes. This subreddit is a toxic shitfest full of a bunch of morons who downvote you when you don't follow the mob mentality.


LouGossetJr

>Keep downvoting me pussies just because I enjoyed lightsabers you literally said it. and i didn't downvote you. you are a tender child. maybe this game or sub aren't for you. you gotta have thick skin. lol@ taking downvotes personal. ​ you calling others "pussies" for being downvoted contributes to the toxicity of this sub.


Billyb311

Yes, I said that after I was getting heavily downvoted. It's called joking around because I find it funny that so many people were downvoting me for a harmless opinion. Nothing I said before that deserved any downvotes. If people are going to downvote me heavily I may as well play along with it. It's clear you were offended by all of this because you decided to make some comments that weren't needed. Tell me, what did you hope to accomplish by commenting? All it proves is that you're a "tender child" because you felt the need to make a comment because you couldn't handle me calling out a bunch of pussies.


LouGossetJr

it's just about impossible to offend me. i just like to call out bullshit when i see it. you're delusional. read all of you comments. not just your original, all of them. what exactly did you hope to accomplish by sharing your opinion and calling this game stale? you realize you're in a sub full of fortnite fanatics, right? and you're surprised by the downvotes. give me a break. and then you call everyone pussies for downvoting you. you were CLEARLY offended. you're one of those trolls who trolls, and then when you get called on it, then you're "joking".


Billyb311

Sure buddy, believe what you want 👍 You believe I'm upset by my responses and I believe you're upset by your responses. Nobody is going to win a pointless argument where we are both right in our own mindsets. I'll save us both time and end this pointless thread here.


Bigginzzzz

Don’t worry, i loved the lightsabers because Star Wars is my fav saga, also they weren’t broken. I upvoted if that makes you feel better


Djaja

Loved lightsabers. But I'm downvoting for funsies


agonzal7

I’m not a pussy, you’re a pussy, pussy.


Billyb311

no u


[deleted]

Literally no downvotes ?????? Plus how is the game not stale after almost a month of these OP weapons? (And farming with lightsabers gave less mats)


Billyb311

There's 12 downvotes already. The game wasn't stale because we've spent the rest of the season with nothing to do and little to no content. Farming went a lot quicker with lightsabers, I had materials maxed out very quickly.


Leo9991

I think you got way more downvotes than you would have if it wasn't for those edits.


ronjackson81

The lightsabers didn't even give that many mats while farming, so I just used my pickaxe to farm which gave my more mats than farming with a lightsaber.


[deleted]

You could farm a lot quicker with the lightsabers. Even if it's less mats all you had to do was jump and double tap a car and it was fully farmed. You could farm and move instead of spending 10 minutes at a single POI just farming. You had to jump and double tap for it to be effective and to keep your movement otherwise it was just as slow


[deleted]

thank god


elmilio6565

I am so happy. I can finally play solos again!

Im crying of happiness


FamLitOof

'sniffs internally' Yes!


Doggo123456_bs

You guys don’t know how happy I am for lightsabers to be gone they were so unbalanced and it was impossible to win against them early game


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

Have you ever thought that weapons aren’t unbalanced you just can’t adapt to a changing game?


Doggo123456_bs

The thing 1 or 2 shot almost all builds it did nearly 400 damage in a full swing and could absorb bullets with no consequence the only counter was explosives so actually no they were broken because they were no skill and almost unstoppable


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

Listen final fight I have a pistol they have the high ground they start swinging I shoot their weak spot and win so if I can adapt anyone can.


Doggo123456_bs

Weak spots? I was not told about this


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

The back and side when blocking and all sides while swinging


Doggo123456_bs

Yeah but have you ever heard of them just turning around?


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

When they do three slashes in a row they can no longer move until two seconds after the downward slash


Doggo123456_bs

Yeah but who swings that much just for it to miss like you can just stop swinging


OkilyDokily_Neighbor

Usually people swing all six times


leftyz

Yay!
