Carl would be the easiest to work with. Give him a Shake backbling. That time meatwad turned into a big hammer for his harvester. And Frylock with the weird fry legs from that one figure as his glider. He wouldn't need the legs. But the competitive crybabies ruined unique gliders for everyone. So it has to be this way.

Alternatively, they could do the exact same thing for Space Ghost. But make them the Baffler Meal versions instead. And have the power bangles as a mythic for a few weeks. Just reskin whatever they used as the base for the Bender gun again.

Give me your tips for winning face-to-face engagements.

I started playing with a friend doing exclusively ranked matches, and together we push more than I normally do alone. I generally try to engage at medium to long ranges and catch people on the run. Now pushing more than normal, I'm losing a lot of face-to-face engagements. I've tried the maven and combat shotty, but I often get killed just in the cocking of the gun between shots. The combat SMG will fry people but it has so much kick I drat near run out of mousepad trying to combat the rise when you fire it.

How are you guys surviving close encounters?

Don't jump. Everyone is always hopping around and panic moving in close engagements. Just strafe and shoot. You'll kill them before their wild firing kills you.

I carry a strong shotgun and an smg to finish. You can also swap back to the shotgun if needed. Faster than either individually and tons of damage before a reload. It does take up 2 weapon slots tho.

Edit: also if it's duos, keep in mind what your partner is doing and what you are doing. You'll do much better going 2v1 twice instead of each going 1v1 on someone on the other team. Up close battles are a coin flip whether they are better/faster than you. So you want every little advantage you can get. Popping out of cover to your right side to shotgun then back gives a major advantage(because of the way the models hold guns on the screen, you can fire on people with just a sliver of yourself showing.)

Here's an in depth video on the various up close guns this season.

And a newer one focused on just shotguns.
https://youtu.be/49OMKMkmH8I?si=Q18qEuOf860HHTdN

He also has in depth videos on movement in fights and winning 1v1 battles/squads/duos. He's an old halo controller player that went to kbm and Fortnite, and doesn't have an irritating voice or YouTube cadence.

This. Especially since jumping triggers the autoaim for people on controller. I literally just strafe directly left or right while aiming down sight the entire time that I'm face to face with people. And 80% of the time they start to jump and panic like a psycho and miss every shot. Infiltrator shotgun is my absolute favorite out of the current loadouts. Nothing does nearly as much damage that close. And the ARs feel super slow in terms of dps compared to it.

Also, if you have it, Chef's Special is a really good emote for Michael too

That emote is also good for when someone is in a building near you, but you don’t see them. Easily one of my favorite emotes in the game.

-always play cover. If there’s no cover, don’t push
-try to get a right shoulder peek
-try to get high ground. Carrying bunkers or ice wall can let you do this if there isn’t natural high ground
-practice hip firing and make sure your sens is low enough that you can hit shots from your shotty or smg without ADS. Saves time + let’s you strafe much faster
-always be reloaded before you push

Has anyone else been having issues on the switch since the UE update? I usually play on PC, but these days I have this problem with UE maps (or sometimes just loading up any creative map I haven't played) where I get the "unexpected error" screen on my switch. I have all my data for the game on the hardware rather than the SD card, so I am struggling to figure out what else it could possibly be.

I won't post the full keyart because it is so pixalated you can't see what is in it. I will post more shards

The Fortnite mobile update was taken down within 15 minutes of going up early. Unfortunately for epic a lot of people have the files now including a number of big audience dataminers.

The dataminers have found:
- 2 Map changes at week 1 and week 3
- the battlepass has a story questioned
- audiologs voiced by Sloan
- a hidden quest line involving gnomes
- a new Stranger Things collab

I saw a (probably) baseless rumor that the battle pass will be free. But I kinda doubt they'd be that generous. Especially since it has some v-buck rewards in it still. But Omegarok is the only one that makes me want to spend on it. Raven Team Leader is another one I'll probably end up getting, but I saw alot of people speculating that'll be a shop skin. So who knows. :shrug:
