Epic should have paid whatever Nintendo demanded to license the Home Run bat sound effects from Super Smash Bros.

It’s disgusting and needs to be removed

u/sebastianrichey 25d ago

You are absolutely right. But while it’s there I will still 100% pick it up every time lol

u/Sad_Conversation_282 22d ago

You loved the typhoon blade too don't lie

u/Foxy02016YT 22d ago

Honestly I like the kneecapper more. We’ve had swords before

u/GoldenNova00 21d ago

I just miss the hammer. At least with it you could still beam the ppl with ARs

u/Foxy02016YT 21d ago

That was some of the most fun mobility

u/sebastianrichey 21d ago

You bet I did

it doesn't need to be removed, it needs to be nerfed into being fair, it's exhausting seeing the fortnite community piss themselves every time something even remotely powerful gets released and everyone is complaining about how it needs to be removed, just edit the stats, get rid of the stun locking mechanic, and make it so it doesn't launch you halfway across the map, easy

u/vash_visionz 22d ago

It will be removed eventually and something else will come right after that this community cries about.

The tears are a never ending cycle .

I think it should have to recharge before you can do the charge swing again

u/mayhapsify 22d ago

The new rolling mechanic has saved me sooo many times after being knocked back by these damn bats lol.

2

u/DylanRaine69 22d ago

The weapon itself should definitely stay. There should definitely be a longer cooldown and charge time.

u/mayhapsify 22d ago

There's always a way to fight back against the new "OP" weapons they add each season and it's fun to figure out what works for your own particular play style imo. I find hip-firing with ARs is the most effective against the bat. Instead of reloading, just switch to your next weapon and keep hip-firing when they're close. Actually it's usually best to switch to your next weapon rather than reloading anyway lol, but ESPECIALLY in melee situations.

“Switch to your pistol it’s faster than reloading!!” Will forever be a part of my psyche

1

u/mayhapsify 20d ago

Oh how I miss the ranger pistol!

1

u/Visible_Project_9568 25d ago

Yes. Yes it is.

2

u/sebastianrichey 25d ago

They could stand to nerf it a little. Like. At least give it a recharge time for the charge swing

1

u/Henrygigabit 24d ago

My strategy with it is hit them and immediately start beaming them when they in the air

1

u/PurP1eHaZe6 24d ago

They may as well take all the guns out, people rarely use them anymore, like at 90% chance or better you get jumped by a full team beating you down with bat's. Especially when the notice you'd rather try to fight them with your gun.

u/disguisedknight 21d ago

Then how would you know its a lobby of 60%+ bots

1

u/Ok_Camp4580 24d ago

Nah just keep a counter a rocket ram or the subzero gloves can drastically change that scenarios outcome

1

u/mayhapsify 22d ago

Hip-firing with an AR also works really well for melee weapons, you just gotta switch to another weapon and keep hip-firing instead of trying to reload.

1

u/Ok_Camp4580 21d ago

Yea but a ar not gonna help with the fall damage when the bat user Barry bonds ya off the cliff🎯

1

u/sebastianrichey 21d ago

I do hate that aren’t really any fall damage savers. You’d think the unstoppable medallion would but

1

u/Ok_Camp4580 21d ago

Facts 💯

1

u/mayhapsify 21d ago

The new roll mechanic does save you from a lot of fall damage if it isn't crazy high.

1

u/marmaladic 24d ago

“Say goodbye to ya kneecaps Chucklehead!” “BONK!”

1

u/MammothObject8910 24d ago

Yeah, until you run someone with a laser blaster.

1

u/sebastianrichey 21d ago

I can’t aim for shit with those 😞

1

u/DynamaxWolf 23d ago

It's OP until you get beamed down by a bot at close range with an SMG while you're charging at them.

1

u/Civil-Share-4600 23d ago

sweats should learn to counter something instead of complain about every change

1

u/sebastianrichey 21d ago

No complaints here 😂

Also not a sweat 😞
