Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 6: PRIMAL |OT|

Yeah, I remember watching some videos of Dr disrespect during his fortnite days. where people were just using the slipstream to take really cheap shots from above or far. that is a legitimate concern but overall I really haven't seen anyone bring up stuff like that. it's just the typical "neo tilted is one of the worst poi's for reasons" but it's never mentioned why though. and I'm with you on that, I like her default style far much more. the classic is alright but does look a bit like a cosplay outfit lol. and Gabrielle goth? and yeah I visited Zenith once. expecting maybe someone to drop there or late drop. was still surprised to find that it was only just me and him though. I'm assuming people land there because of his scar? only weapon I'm aware blackheart has is a primal shotgun. and I didn't kill raptor to find out what he usually carries. yup that is the synopsis or who they have revealed and appears on some of the covers and their variations. it's been mostly batman, Catwoman and Harley Quinn. Deathstroke only appeared on either issue 5 or 4 recently. but there was already a hint towards a " familiar mercenary" that was blantaly him. I'm very intrigued but hoping she is one of the last 3 cosmetics. need a Catwoman for my DC collection hero collection. I think around the time of when she was released, was when I stopped playing season 5 for a while. I guess I got burnt out on the bounties, sand tunneling, and some other things in my life was happening at the time. but I will confess, at first I was wanting to get her but tbh I'm not a huge fan of the skin. it's great if you're into the fox clan story line and drift/catalyst skins. for me personally I had to skip, even more so for llambro as well. I hated alli at first too, thought it was lynx vomiting out leftover hair ball lol. but the more i run her as well as inspect her model. She's actually grown on me alot, mind you I don't the like the clipping issues with her long hair through back blings. overall I really really enjoy this skin alot. and I'm currently level 58, just super charging my XP so I can hit 60 or 61 for tomorrow.
I think for console players it was also the increased difficulty to hit anyone zooming around in the slipstream which made it annoying as well. But yea, people not explaining themselves properly is a common thing on the net for various reasons.

"Gabrielle Goth" is my attempt at giving her an alliterated name that's also semi-descriptive. Not that Rachel Roth is a bad name, I'm just being more on the nose about it haha.

I think the Zenith drop is quite good cause apart from his weapon there are roughly 7 chest spawns in that small spot, with two fairly visible from the get go. It's also a fairly decent rotation (Camp Cod if you wanna stay away or Catty > Retail > etc.) + Zenith will show you the future storm circle for ~250 gold and you can easily get back 120 gold by picking the "Destroy a radar dish" quest and shoot the one on the weather station down.

Depending on the flight path you can land there fairly quickly too since it's elevated ground.

Oh yea when Catwoman came back I paid a bit more to complete the bundle so I have those oversized grappling hook pickaxes but really the main target was her emote lol.

Ah it's fine, I'm not into the Fox/Kitsune clan story at all but Vi is my favourite of the lot and it was a very timely crew pack for me as I explained earlier :D

Yea I think Alli's hair definitely grows on you LOL. Frankly wish they'd given her a similar suited up style like Lynx, that would go a long way to up her desirability. Still, I'd say as a skin she's ahead of Green Arrow and Llambro.
 
Junking up the Sheriff's Office. Standing/crouching behind your hired NPC and shooting is a top tier tactic; the NPCs have some crazy high shield values.


Today I learnt the damn raptors can open doors like in Jurassic Park and today they learnt that it's not my first rodeo at that stupid gas station.I've accidentally blown myself up there last season at the start of a match.

Nothing says irony like making fresh fossils with fossil fuel.

I never really tried it. I remember hopping into it once and I didn't like it as much as I thought I'd did. still there has been some who bring up the amount of useless loot chests to the complexity of the poi itself. I still don't see why it was considered bad but this is fortnite people are bound to complain about something. And ah I see lol, I was a bit confused by it but I kinda understand lol. and yeah it's a good place to drop. lately though quite a few players have been landing there in solo so I stopped going there. besides I can land at camp cod, destroy all the compact cars for quite a bit of mechanical parts. upgrade any weapon along with getting Bunker chest spawned. there is plenty of wood and metal materials for mats. Jules can give some easy gold based quests to craft weapons or find crafting materials. it's imo a decent spot to land at and get decently equipped for the later parts of the match. back when she released, I only had enough to buy the caped crusader music, the bat signal emote, catwomans whip crack emote, the harley hitter and punchline pixaxes for harley's set. after that I didn't have much to buy Catwoman herself, her pickaxes or the batwing glider. Which sucks, because I do like having the full set to something. but eh Nothing much I can do about it. she's a good skin, just something I'm not really keen or see myself running alot in game. I have vix so im use to the "lynx" triplets, but I actually agree with you I wish she had some alternate styles like her sister. I examined the loading screen and she seems to have some strange armor on her shoulders. that and a tail, yet they aren't present on the skin itself.

I'm just hoping they somehow bring back Neo Tilted and Mega Mall like how they did throwbacks to Tilted recently with the Sandy Towers last season, really loved that futuristic aesthetic they had going in C1S9.

Ah yea Jules is another fun NPC to quickly turn a gold profit out of since you can typically finish all three of her quests with her selling mechanical parts. It's a much better landmark now that IO Guards and sharks are no more. IIRC Donald Mustard said it was one of his favourite three spots to drop, the other two being Lake Canoe and Flopper Pond (?), will dig for his tweet or interview later lol.

Wait, you bought all those side items and didn't buy Catwoman? -_-
I'd never get Harley Hitter, the pumpkin bat they released last Halloween was perfect, it needs that proper swing animation IMO.

Lol Vix, I'd never get that skin, she felt to me like a poor replacement for Lynx, her built-in emote is fun though, but I'd rather just copy someone's skin as Mystique hurhur.

And I suspect they didn't end up putting the cat ear shoulder thingies because it'd obscure your sight during ADS. The tail would fight with her ridiculously long hair as well.

Who knows, the spire feels like medieval or prehistoric tilted towers almost. and salty towers was indeed a throw back, who knows what kind of poi throwbacks we'll get in future seasons. after all something about the areas of the previous island are starting to come and meld together with this one's. not in the exact same manner but familiar with some changes. yup all 80 gold quests, which is why it's definitely one of my go to places. lately it's been compact cars but you have to beat other players to the loot chests first and the crafting materials. glad to know me and the big man who oversees Fortnite's plots share and is a man of good poi taste haha. Nope sadly, I only had enough money to purchase the dark knight pack, and could only buy 2,000 V bucks. what I had was used to purchase the cheapest item of each bundle. but let's put it this way, if they do come back I can finish buying off the reduced price bundles of catwoman and the batman gear. besides we potentially could get a better designed catwoman so there's maybe that. I only got the harley hitter because again I love the suicide squad interpretation of harley and I liked her bat in the movie. plus I had to complete her set as if I'm given the opportunity or time necessary I'll buy that characters whole set. vix Is my favorite, I get people hate on her because she comes off as dollar general lynx. however I enjoy the design of her suit and the built in emote that can swap between her styles. not a fan of her hood down style but it's an option so not complaining. thing is wish she came with a glider, for Alli and her I've been using the fish skeleton glider. yeah I'd figure they decided against it because she already has enough Going on as it is. adding those big bulky things would cause some problems ADS.

I think it's distinct enough from Tilted in that the Spire itself is indestructible which means there's almost always someone abusing that height disparity. Tilted was a lot of tall buildings that could all be leveled in due time.

Speaking of throwbacks, there's a piece of Sunny Steps in Camp Cod, in the Western-most shack.

Compact Cars is hit and miss IMO, poor rotation choices once you're done getting the mechanical pieces and like you experienced, some people rush that place for it. I'd rather just buy 8 of them from Cole or Jules.

Turns out I misremembered so much loool. The only landmark I remembered correctly was Lake Canoe:

I only went with Harley but I understand the appeal of the Hitter if you liked it in the movie. If they ever update the swing animation I'll be on it in a flash hah.

I'm starting to think you just like the cat-related skins. Did you get Catastrophe?
mcmmIrB.png

But yea none of the Lynx-inspired skins ever came with a glider IIRC. There was that free Catwoman-ish glider during the Gotham challenges but it doesn't really fit the Lynx/Alli/Vix aesthetic.
 
True or false...

Mini spire orb should grant anyone carrying it +1 shield per second.

Those boots are non existent in duos.
I assume you spitballed that buff because I don't see it making much difference.

The biggest issue is the boots themselves, they're simply not worth the risk, effort and precious item slot required to acquire and use.
Second biggest issue IMO is how janky the sphere-pickup is. Can you imagine Epic making a basketball game with these physics and interactions? Lolololol.

To put it in simple memey terms, Shockwave Bow is the guy the Spire Assassin told the Boots not to worry about.

Yeah, during season 5 when I was in a squad. we so happen to be rotating to the center of the map, we came across salty and every single building was gone. but we all recognized it as the gas station was still in one piece strangely. And yup I know I always wondered how pieces of old poi's or memorabilia ended up on the new island after the end event. yeah I only land at compact cars in team rumble, easier to loot up without much or many players landing there. plus I usually just let the storm take me out since there is a respawn mechanic. solo is where is land at camp cod and nowhere else but that. Looking up the pumpkin bat's animation, I do kinda wish harley's had the same. it's very satisfying to see the swing on it and makes me wonder if epic would add a completely new animation to the harley hitter. and yes I do lmao, it all Started with meowscles, then vix, his son kit and now alli. unfortunately I didn't find out about catastrophe till I watched a video pizo did for the skin. which was way back in chapter 1. and nope sadly, none of those skins have ever gotten a glider so the only cat related thing I could think of was meowscles glider from the chapter 2 season 2 battle pass.

My girl rebirth harley Quinn finally gets a backbling. it's about damn time! there is also a rumor this skin and backing might make its way to the item shop. as it has a item shop image and assets in the files.
 
I just started finally in the past 2 months after much resistance to playiing. Fun, I can't take out builders for shit, and i'm always learning new things, and I yeeted someone off a cliff the other day; but I gotta say, I am jealous of you all getting all these past characters/emotes/etc. Makes me wish I had been playing this whole time.

It's not a rumor. It hits the shop in June.

Gotta wonder who went to the effort of trashing all those buildings but left the gas station untouched lol.

I'm not gonna overthink this one: simplest explanation would be the Zero Point and its melding of realities and timelines together, with little bits slipping through here and there. Ultimately it's a nice bit of fanservice for those of us who liked the various details of Chapter 1. Don't think I've seen any of the Neo Tilted or Mega Mall stuff mixed back in yet though.

Hmm, i wouldn't recommend Compact Cars in TR unless you really want Mechanical Parts. I say that because chests in TR have a 100% spawn rate and that landmark has like what, 4 chests in total IIRC? Not really worth it. If anything I'd recommend dropping on the zip line tower facing Dirty Docks (3 chests), glide to Lake Canoe (5 chests or so), then glide to Compact Cars for the remainder.

And when you leave Compact Cars, if you follow the road towards the Northeast, there's a bounty board you can activate for virtually guaranteed gold since most people will die at least once in TR.

I'm more a fan of canines myself so it's a shame that most of those skins aren't really to my taste (Doggo, Fennix). Catastrophe did come back once or twice in Chapter 2, but apparently she isn't popular enough to warrant more frequent returns :(

Well, that's good for you! It looks like it's meant to match the Joker's BB in The Last Laugh bundle. Can't help but be reminded of EVO with that symbol

Hey! Welcome to our super cozy and super little Fortnite OT lol.

You're in good company actually; Ailynn and I are two examples of people who didn't start off loving the game but got won over after a period.

And yea I can kinda empathise with not being able to get your hands on some of the BP-exclusive stuff, I only got the BP from C1S5 onwards so I missed out on a few things I'd like from before.

Still, Epic has done a good job of walking the fine line between keeping the BP stuff exclusive while still offering decent, sometimes better variants later on either in the shop or future BPs.

And at some point, after you've flooded your locker with more awesome cosmetics than you can practically play in any session, that desire/jealousy will just be a tiny voice in the back of your head. The majority of my favourite cosmetics are from the item shop, not that I don't favourite any of the BP stuff.
 

Damn, that explains why Bushranger got yet another style (take that Fishstick!). My very first thought when seeing the BB pendant in the shop was "Brie Bushson" lolol, now I know.

And as much as I'd like to name favourites, I don't think I can narrow it down to just one per category so I'll save myself the trouble.
 
Anyway, with the new update, I'm really happy to finally get Tarana's indigo style, though I wonder who the hell decided to have her paint a dot on the tip of her nose. It's so irksome especially with her default, no-helmet look.

Chonkers tires are really neat, besides modding vehicles, you can toss them on the ground and have them become like a regular tyre stack that you can bounce off of.

And much like regular tires on vehicles, you can destroy the attached Chonkers tires one by one. The good news is unlike before, your vehicle is no longer 'crippled' if a tire or two is taken out; you can simply toss new Chonkers at them and you'll get a fresh set of tires.

In other news, Slurp Mushrooms are back and unlike last season you can consume them for health while your shield is full. Previously you had to keep your shield below 100 if you wanted to stack Slurpshrooms for healing health. Same change applies to coconuts.

And that's not all that came back. Sharks have returned (ugh) but unlike before, they now take storm damage.


Personally the change I'm happiest to see is arrow speed being increased. Something's very wrong when I had so much difficulty hitting point blank headshots on a DBNO enemy because the shot needs to be led when he's strafe-crawling.

The damage increase might be a bit much; I think I did 200 dmg with a Mechanical Bow headshot recently and I'm not sure I agree with (Mechanical) bows essentially being snipers in disguise now, except they don't give their position away aurally as much as snipers did.

4th issue of the batman/fortnite: zero point comic will contain the bonus download code for deathstroke's glider! not 100% confirming he's coming to the game as a skin but imo it would be pretty pointless to make a pickaxe for a newly designed catwoman and glider for a character who's not coming yet. here's a better look at what could be his design for the future.

I have no idea lol. It was so bizarre to see it still standing and with the loot chest untouched too! and yeah we best not think of too much after all nothing makes sense in the world of fortnite. and eh I stopped going there, now I'm going after the known Bunker chests to my knowledge. there is one that sometimes spawn underneath a set of stairs in slurp swamp next to Chuggus. the one or two that spawn before a hill at Stealthy Stronghold, or the one I usually go after is at the bottom of a floor in the basement of the house at camp cod. either way I get decent loot from those. epic or legendary scar, epic or legendary rocket launcher, or epic and legendary P90's. with a couple of minis or big pots, it's funny because hardly anyone goes after them when I do. they usually just land at other places for loot that to me isn't really worth it once you get a Bunker chest loot. I like doggo, shame I had to kill him several times during season 5 in pleasant park. but he was in my way when someone was hunting me multiple times. though I did hire him once or twice as a distraction lol. and that's how the cookie crumbles when it comes to less frequently used skins. they usually don't come back until. a bunch of people beg enough for it come back. I haven't seen so many people beg for Travis scott that it's like one huge wall of people begging for or asking where that set is. I don't have either astro jack, travis or Marshmello and major lazer. but I gotta save my V bucks, there's no telling what could come to the item shop next. Plus wonder woman has been hinted so there's that.

Despite them saying you can’t get the skin with a free trial of DC Universe Infinite, you can.

That's good, means everyone can get this brilliantly designed skin. I just prefer getting the comics to learn more about the story that and to be on the safe side so I can get the new batman zero point skin.

I wonder if it might have been for that one quest where you had to find artifacts and a squad decided to level the place instead of combing it.

Ah I know the first BC you're talking about, it's in Shanty Town. Didn't know about the ones near Stronghold though! If you're talking about Team Rumble then it makes sense for others to go to places where they can open as many chests as possible, hence not really going for Epic/Legendary loot.

Ugh NPCs can be a real pain at times. My Stage Slayer was pickaxing a vehicle that I was filling up with gas.

I don't think Epic is even really listening to requests for MIA skins, the only time they sort of do is for locker bundles (eg. squatingdog picking Hot Ride as the glider).

Ah, I suppose the 1K vbucks from your current sub is still unspent? Hehe.

Looks dope. I'm almost seeing shades of M.Bison in him lol.
Went to my local comic book store. It was far though and got the first issue of the comic series! gonna take the new harley quinn outfit for spin later tonight. overall I'd say this is a 10/10 skin for me, very vibrant colors and you can't help but love red and black on harley ❤.
Yea it's nice to see her have her classic colours but in a modern getup.

Easily my favorite since the map was flooded.

This game's legit. It just gets better and better. The permanent changes they've made lately have been great!

I wonder if it might have been for that one quest where you had to find artifacts and a squad decided to level the place instead of combing it.

Ah I know the first BC you're talking about, it's in Shanty Town. Didn't know about the ones near Stronghold though! If you're talking about Team Rumble then it makes sense for others to go to places where they can open as many chests as possible, hence not really going for Epic/Legendary loot.

Ugh NPCs can be a real pain at times. My Stage Slayer was pickaxing a vehicle that I was filling up with gas.

I don't think Epic is even really listening to requests for MIA skins, the only time they sort of do is for locker bundles (eg. squatingdog picking Hot Ride as the glider).

Ah, I suppose the 1K vbucks from your current sub is still unspent? Hehe.

I have no idea, it strange not gonna lie imo. oh yeah I didn't know know about the two Bunker chests that spawn on hill or near it. that was until I watched a content creator named mrhex constantly land at pleasant park then drive all the way to the small hill next to Stealthy. though it's not a 100% spawn and sometimes you can get stuck with loot you don't exactly want. no offense to rocket launchers or pump shotguns. but I prefer scars or p90's. there is also one that spawns in the top part of a house in sweaty sands. discovered this when I was doing the search gold safe quest yesterday. yeah I see what you are saying. for me it is too time consuming in team rumble to search chests for good loot. grab the materials to upgrade and before you know it the storm is on me. Bunker chests kinda help eliminate all of the tedious work in getting good weapons imo. oh wow really? I knew NPCs were kinda irritating but that right there is wow lol. sometimes they are good for distracting other players when you hire them. alot of the time though they give away your position because they instantly home in on threats. and yup, have over 3,410 V bucks saved up, seeing as we aren't getting deathstroke or the new Catwoman in the comic rewards. here is hoping they are V buck item shop skins fingers crossed!

Not gonna lie, this design is instantly far more superior than the comic book and dark knight outfits imo. just looks like batman without looking like jonesy in a cosplay suit lol.

Oh yeah, alot of people were wanting her classic animated series appearance as a outfit. or her signature jester suit she wore back then. still it's a fantastic design imo and definitely gonna be one of my mains (unless we get a new Catwoman then that will instantly take over any priority over any other skin lol)

Floodnite is still my favourite iteration of C2's island so it's a shame that it didn't last more than half of that season.

Feels like they were experimenting with roaming enemy AI since then, starting with Marauders and has culminated in what we have now with the somewhat sparse wildlife.

I don't have a major preference out of those four possible weapons because primal versions of the SMG and ARs are extremely viable and I personally prefer makeshift shotguns over the other two. Rocket Launcher is great but ammo is hard to come by and I'd rather just have an Explosive Bow instead.

I'm quite nonchalant about loot quality in TR, as long as I can get hold of a shotgun at minimum. I remember occasionally not being able to find shotguns or ammo long ago and it was torture lol.

I think the worst part about NPCs is that they make taming wildlife close to impossible, it's really funny when you do manage to tame a bunch of animals and also have 1-2 hired NPCs though!

For your sake I hope the DC prices will fit nicely within your vbuck budget. Oh and in today's leaks it seems Catastrophe will be returning soon, hehe.

Yea those previous Batman skins weren't exactly the highpoint of FN crossovers hahaha, was glad to see others felt that way recently too:

I'd pay money to hear a few Fortnite developers give a GDC talk about what they've learned about game design over the last 3 years.

I'm not great with money.

Btw, the big wheels are generally worse than standard wheels right? We bump into so much **** trying to get to circle with them equipped. Plus, they're so easy to shoot out by douche sweats, which makes you crash into even more ****.

You can pay them by buying some vbucks looool. But seriously I'm not exactly keen on Epic's insight with regards to game design. However I'd be interested to see the data they've gathered with regards to playstyles, weapon choices etc.

In my biased opinion, FNBR is a genuine fluke in terms of its success, both monetarily and from a gameplay perspective. I'm really glad it happened but man, Epic almost crashed with FN STW; 7 years in the making, partnering with Tencent to teach them the art of monetization and grindy milestones enough to surpass Warframe yet the game got squashed in no time by FNBR. This isn't even a multiplayer vs single player thing, STW was supposed to be this cooperative game and they were intending to later add PVP where groups of players would build elaborate forts to fight one another. Your trap in the previous OT is basically what Epic envisioned for STW PVP, but everyone can see what actually took off.

Look at all the othe games Epic has been trying to get off the ground. Battle Breakers? Spyjinx? Lol. They lucked out with Fortnite and thankfully Sweeney is smart enough of a businessman to invest that vbucks money in the right places, cause in terms of churning out hits Epic has lost that Midas touch a long time ago.

Well, Chonkers are mostly great for offroading (I know I'm stating the obvious) and you can always replace them or even regular blown-out tires if you carry spares. Feels like vehicles are top-heavy so instead of being more grounded they tend to bounce around if you aren't careful when driving over bumps.

Anyway I did a mini writeup on the tires earlier in here. Heck, I mentioned tires in the previous OT as well, noting that if a vehicle had lost all four tires it'd take constant damage as you drove at a lower speed. It's the post where I had the xenomorph eating a burger.

"Bat shack!! dunna nanana bat shack!! Bat shack!" as promised by epic games. what poi's that get introduced into the comics is introduced into the map. we now have the bat shack was hoping the grotto would become the batcave but eh you win some you lose some.

I've been experimenting with the primal weapons. overall I like the primal shotgun, the primal smg and the primal bow. I tried the makeshift weapons but other than the makeshift assault rifle I'm gonna say I'm not really too fond of the shotgun or pistols. rocket launchers are great but I agree I rather have an explosive bow or primal fire bow instead. just give me a good scar, a shotgun or primal one, a bow some big pots and minis and I'm set lol. never tried it, but I can only imagine coming across the map with over a dozen hired npcs and animals at your side and other players like "holy f..." it would be funny though If it happened. At most Catwoman or the new one would be 1500 V bucks. hopefully I'd only have enough to afford her and deathstroke if not the bundle which I'm sure they'd make such as him and his pickaxes. give me those two and I'd never use any other marvel skin ever again, unless it's spiderman or doctor strange lol. And I was right!! it is jonesy in a cosplay suit!!

But it's worth it when you fly through the air and land on a sweat like Dorothy flattening the Wicked Witch of the East.

Climbing up buildings with the Chonkers made me realise Epic are really missing out. Midtown Madness Royale. Think about it.

The batman zero bundle was decrypted this morning. and is confirmed to be releasing on May 5th. personally I'll be buying only the skin seeing as we get the glider and pickaxe in comics. for those wondering this is not the batman skin you get for collecting all 6 issues. apparently a armored version is completely different from this one according to alia.

Damn I haven't visited the Batshack yet but now that you mention it, I'm getting irritated that the Grotto has basically been pointless since S3.

Till now I still can't jive with the Primal Shotgun, its poor range and reload time sour me on it. I don't like point blank combat ranges in this game due to the super low FOV, so any shotgun that's effective at one square's range is more my thing. Primal Rifle is good because of its firing rate, its not as pinpoint accurate as the Scar but it functions as a pseudo SMG within the same range and the damage output is very high if you get the jump on the enemy.

Gray Makeshift Rifle before recent buffs was an utter nightmare: no FSA and I was hitting roughly 1/8 bullets at 30-35m or so. Swore off that gray shit ever since.

Yea I had a little army of wildlife with a squad many weeks ago, it was funny as my team laid suppressive fire while I moved forward with a bunch of AI nuisances. It's just very goofy, which IMO has always been Fortnite's appeal for casuals like me.

Yea I'm eager to see what a new Catwoman skin would look like, though I'm perfectly happy cosplay Rio lol. Bat-Jonesy was always trash tier :p
 
But it's worth it when you fly through the air and land on a sweat like Dorothy flattening the Wicked Witch of the East.

Man, the best I've done with Chonky vehicles is bumping enemies into the air, not sure I have the mental fortitude to keep attempting squishes haha.

Also, I vaguely remembered so I googled to confirm: Midtown Madness was that Microsoft monster truck game! I never did play those games but I remember MM game me the impression that Microsoft was 'loosening up'. Before that and Age of Empires, the only commercial game I associated with MS was Flight Simulator.

And if we're talking a FFA vehicular combat game, Carmageddon (the very first one) was soooo up my alley. Crushing polygonal pedestrians never felt the same vs sprites somehow.

Tilted Taxis was sort of heading in that direction but being able to get out and build kind of messed everything up IMO. Maybe a dedicated Chonker Squad mode, 1 driver, 3 gun buddies, 25 vehicles driving around in a roaming circle could be fun, basically like Air Royale but ground based. Fortnite's even got the Mad Max-esque skins ingame already.

And maybe only the driver can alight and has to pick up and deposit weapons & items into the vehicle for the others to use, though I'm just dreaming here; it's too complicated for Epic to implement when even basic functions are bugged out at the moment.
 
I've found that throwing 6 grenades one after the other at builders is hllarious to watch.
Originally you could hold a stack of 10 nades per slot at the start of Chapter 2 (and I believe most of Chapter 1) but since Epic severely trimmed the loot pool in the new Chapter, people got creative with grenade usage and as a balancing measure the stack got reduced to 6 each.

Edit: The lean loot pool meant that finding nades was a very common occurrence, so the stack size got reduced to prevent coordinated nade spam.

That pickaxe is lightyears ahead of the crap toy they had previously lol.

Happy for the Bat fans, they finally get a set befitting the character.
