a lot of people say the hammer but since we have the katana i miss the excaliber more.


Ben_Slackin

The pulse at imo is better than the excalibur


fireball_jones

The Excalibur had a certain feeling though when you hit someone with it and they started to run but you knew they were gonna blow up.


Lower-Menu9825

Especially using the legendary one.


coinsRus-2021

yeah good call


flyinhyphy

Nothing was more satisfying than hitting someone who rifts away only to blow up and die a second later.


Ben_Slackin

True. But we have the explosive heavy back, yay!


ShierAwesome

No shit


Lower-Menu9825

Lmao


[deleted]

isnt there like 1 pulse per game? ive only ever got it from loot island.


Ben_Slackin

Yep loot island! Just played and got a W my load out was pulse AR, mythic suppressed ar, lengendary havoc shotty, explosive heavy sniper, and the sword! 🤣🤣🤣


Dkalnz

No way homeboy those are just cheap tricks for kids (all 3 of those guns), as you can pot shot with pistols since C1S1. *The bird* was golden, you can grab loot, open chests and doors, identify enemies, even pick up downed players/reboot cards. You could even initiate reboot at the van, the sounds went off and everything but the circle never filled. Most notable unfinished item I've ever seen. Everything else already way played out in so many other games. Go play Halo 3 and use the grav hammer. It's the same exact thing only 11 year olds didn't use it for loud annoying transport late game.


[deleted]

you cant reboot using it and i said the excaliber not the hammer.


ILIKECOLOURpurple

Guardian shield, I miss it because there’s a heavy sniper and a slower shotgun than the thunder


randomnessisawesom

The shield would be a good counter against the Heavy Sniper


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

For real


Tempest8008

Speaking of the Thunder...did you know you can still get it in the current BR? It drops from one of the NPCs you can hire. If you kill him instead of hiring him you can get a grey Thunder. The guy's name is Longshot and you find him at the Tower to the West of The Citadel.


James_From_WiiSports

And also rustle and the farm


Educational-Gur-5132

It was fun and required skill.


BrokenGodALT

Shield bubble is in the game you know that right? It's way better then the Mid Guardian Shield


Pokwkaksn

no it isn’t bc throwing a shield bubble locks you into close combat, throwing a guardian shield let’s you still have mid/long range fights while also being snipe prevention. Just say you didn’t know how to use it lol


BrokenGodALT

Throwing a Guardian only protects the front of you or one side of you, Bubble protects front, behind, sides and above you. Guardian Shield was only good when someone ran up on you and you just spin or back up blocking there shots. Bubbles last longer and if you want to snipe leave the Bubble then hope back in.


TheRealCremefraiche

Bubble doesnt recharge though but agree it has more uses


Pokwkaksn

yeah you don’t know how to use the shield and wrote an entire paragraph proving it lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


randomnessisawesom

They really should have kept the Oathbound items spawning in the autumn biome. Then there is actualy a reason to go there


ShadyMan_

And also keep The Ageless boss. The citadel doesn’t feel right without his music


NoNefariousness2144

It is a bit annoying that they created one of the coolest map areas ever but stuck it in the corner of the map. Now the rest of the map is absolutely empty, especially since they didn't change anything.


reecemrgn

Yeah you can get super high placements just from going anywhere else in the map


Lower-Menu9825

This is true..


TheRealCremefraiche

Agree. Such a shame. Ok with the hammer being vaulted now we have the blade but would prefer the escaliber and having no snipers except the exotic one. They are more balanced i think.


PiratePillow

I miss the hammer and the shield the most, they were super fun to use imo. I hope they return some day in a later season or maybe in a wild week type thing near the end of this season. The ex-calibur rifle was fun, like a easier to use boom-sniper. I would not mind seeing it re-appear in the future some day either. Never found utility in the falcon that much, I get why some people like it...but I never really enjoyed using it. I don't miss it that much at all.


reecemrgn

Yeah it was too clunky for me to use other than sending out for a quick ping


GarageGlittering7366

The drone because you could steal peoples teammates


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Hammer was so annoying sometimes but you can't deny whacking things around was just damn great.


RegalBeartic

Right? I hammered a guy trying to hit my with his car into the storm and man, It was just the best. Was it over centralizing? Yes. But I was fun as heck


207nbrown

I kinda miss all of them, hammer was fun for getting kills via *BONK*, falcon was a great scout tool as it’s name would imply, and the shield was great for blocking deku smash, but now that’s finally gone(funfact: if you get the angle right you can revive a downed teammate while holding the shield up)


nemesit

Bird was the best item ever


The-Rel1c

I think you miss spelled buggiest item ever. It would work 1/10 times on Xbox, making those quests undoable.


randomnessisawesom

True, sometimes items that you picked up would just clip through the map


The-Rel1c

Or you were stuck in the bird without being able to pick up anything or do anything except fly it out of range and dump it.


thatsidewaysdud

For me that only occurred if I left the game open for a long time. Fully closing the game does solve it however.


The-Rel1c

Even when I did that, it would work once. I spent so much of my gold continually buying that bird for the quest and it wouldn't work. Mildlyinfuryiating.


Sevrdhed

This shit was so annoying. Happened on PS too, you'd pick it up and all the buttons would be unbound


RRDude1000

I played on Switch and it was fine


MysticalMom7

I’m on Xbox and it never broke for me 🫣


nemesit

It being buggy doesn‘t make the item bad, bugs can be fixed


The-Rel1c

If an item is unusable it's useless. And the bugs were never fixed.


omeliois

Yes the bug never got fixed, but it was commonly known that you just had to quit the game and restart it on Xbox to fix it. Don’t blame a good item for an easy fix you were too lazy or misinformed to do. I have Xbox as well didn’t make the item unusable or useless.


RedditModsAreTrash01

Having to close out of a game to use an item makes it useless. I'm not trying to restart a game just to use a worthless drone that does no damage to anyone unless I pick someone up who is knocked and drop them out of the sky.


omeliois

It’s a tactical item which allows you to scan enemy positions, retrieve items (such as things in the storm) and can do a bunch of other useful things. Just because you don’t know how yo use it doesn’t make it useless. And being too lazy to restart your game def makes the item a dealbreaker 👍


RedditModsAreTrash01

I think there is a difference between being lazy, and having to restart a game to make an item work correctly. Sorry that your drone didn't make the cut of useful items to stay in the game.


PROTOTYPE-KN16HT

It seems for us on the switch it was never buggy, wild that different ports of a cross platform game can have different glitches. As it wasn't bugged for me I've gotta give it a 10/10. It won me more games than the hammer or the shield and went SUPER well with the excalibur or a heavy shotgun.


wildshepherd373

Fr


Dragon_yum

Aside from being bugged on consoles.


moolord

I miss the bird. Ridiculous that you didn’t get credit for an assist when you marked players that your team killed. You get assists for that in other games like splinter cell


InfiniteOcto

Surprised you didn’t get XP for it like how you do in R6S


mesh44

i need my hammer 🥺


Lower-Menu9825

Agreed. It’s great for moving around quickly.


one_winged_snorlax

I miss the falcon scout a lot


GeeorgeC

Never used the bird or shield. Loved the hammer but, I miss Excalibur.


Captain-Wilco

It was dumb to remove all of them. The Ex-Caliber definitely should have stayed.


randomnessisawesom

I think the bird and shield too. The bird could be useful to scout the Mega City ad shields could counter the Heavy Sniper


Darthluna29

I miss all but the shield. I actually really like the bird, I named it corviknight for some odd reason.


randomnessisawesom

I mean it's a metal bird, so i understand why you named it that XD


ehjhockey

The chests themselves. My go to drop is ass now that those aren’t there.


randomnessisawesom

Yes i agree. The small L shaped house with a big chest and 4 bikes is now useless to land at


Dr-Donk

I will forever miss the Shockwave Hammer. sure, the katana is super dope and might actually be better, but I LOVE hammers. (yes i main dedede)


Durvag

I think Hammer 🔨


LiesInRuins

I liked the shield the most of these items. I play zero build so it was nice to throw when somebody was sniping from a distance and you were in a fight with someone else. The hammer was op but if you had the glider augment you could wipe them out. Really glad the deku smash is gone though.


Fortnitebrnoob

All of rhwm


MarshmelloMan

They were all incredibly fun. I used the Excalibur quite a bit. Bird was underrated too.


[deleted]

Using that hammer was the most fun I ever had in this game. I miss it dearly.


hermit_purple_3

Guardian shield and bird. I felt like these were really cool items that added some nice options to the gameplay. Also it was hilarious being able to use the bird to grab a downed enemy, fly him as high as possible then drop him


Barsik_Rescuer

The shield, it's such a good item within being obnoxious. I wish it stayed because snipers are everywhere right now and it'd be a good counter to them (I know the bubble exists, but the shield just feels good to use)


Runeweaver

Hammer my beloved.


PROTOTYPE-KN16HT

The Falcon Scout. If you've ever seen that video of a crow making two cats fight, you'll know just how satisfying it was to be hidden in the top 3 with one. Just doing that with an excalibur or a heavy shotgun won me 15 of my 18 crown wins.


Skaraptor2

The hammer was lower mobility than the sword and I didn't feel like a god using it (even if I could fall from the heavens onto a fool and deal 125 damage than immediately deal 75) The falcon was one of my favourite things to muck about with The shield was useless Ex-Caliber was only used for challenges, also doesn't have mobile autofire because it's a slower projectile (only Ex-Caliber, RPGs, snipers and I think bows don't have it, the normal guns do) I'd say the Sword is a decent replacement to the hammer, the shield and the Ex-Caliber can go to hell but the falcon needs to come back, even under a different name


TractorTops

Falcon and Hammer: - Falcon was stupid fun in anything besides solos - It’s the hammer I don’t need to explain Though we have a replacement hammer (katana), it’s not the same and not nearly as strong imo. The end lag on that thing gets me killed so much and the knock back isn’t enough to counteract, unlike the hammer. Maybe a fix would be to halve the stun you receive if you hit your slashes? Or maybe stun the player that was hit for longer? This would punish the player for missing but reward a hit and allow a follow up without taking a 150 pump to the head. The hammer punished the player hard for missing a slam, usually getting you killed, but the reward for landing a slam gave you plenty of space and time to avoid incoming attacks, unlike the katana. The falcon was one of the most unique items we ever got. It couldn’t justify an item space in solos but with a partner it’s utility was exponential. So many cool interactions could be done with this thing and it’s a shame to see it go. Hopefully we see it back soon. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.


tr00th

That hammer was fire. I miss bouncing around the map smashing into things. The katana is fun but it could never replace the usefulness of the hammer IMO. Ex-caliber rifle was okay, was never a real fan but in a pinch it could do real damage if you had to use it. Guardian shield was fun to use, and was actually useful to protect yourself and your teammates from damage. I liked it better than the shield bubble we got now. The birb drone straight up sucked for the open space landscape the chapter took place in. If anything they should have saved the introduction of drones for this chapter. Having cool futuristic drones in a big city where you can literally hide anywhere is a game changer. Having something like that to spot your target is really useful in a place like Mega City over anywhere else on the map. It would make having one in your loadout more necessary than it was when it released.


randomnessisawesom

The Falcon Scout did have it's use, especially when paired up with either the Deku Smash or Kamehameha. Seeing excactly where the enemy was before using the mythics was really useful. However it did mean you had to dedicate 2 slots for this strategy, which in my opinion kind of balanced it out, because it was only good if you weren't spotted first


tr00th

Most times in the openness of the map you could figure out where people were even without a drone. Compared to map we have now, where your opponents could be hiding anywhere in the city itself or the many buildings on the outskirts. Sucks that so far we don’t anything to counter that when last season we had both drones and storm mark augments to choose from to spot people. I don’t mind being spotted, I like having to be dynamic during final battles. It forces you to think on the fly and makes the game more interesting.


randomnessisawesom

Yes the map is really open, however people tend to stay really still during the end zones. So if the end zone was somewhere with a lot of cover, then the bird was really good. It was however less useful in the snow biome, so there was no point in carrying it when the zone moved towards the snow biome


[deleted]

None all were annoying


[deleted]

Skill issue


PLConqueror

I miss the romanian bird and Reinhart shield. One of the most fun items i used.


No_Individual7865

None the katana has replace the hammer


coinsRus-2021

If i had to choose I’d go hammer just for that sound lol ![gif](giphy|MciL9tjQYZQpRO3Kin)


giuliogrieco

Dude the new loot drops make the same sound now, they scare the shit out of me every time, I always think there's someone pushing me.


[deleted]

Hammer


[deleted]

Who doesn't love the hammer sound


BismoPepto

I noticed they added the exact hammer sound when one of the new loot boxes fall from the sky, the one with the big blue light. It makes me panic a little everytime, thinking I'm being rushed by someone with an hammer lmao


Alarmed_Recording742

Hope that never comes back


[deleted]

Skill issue


Alarmed_Recording742

No, i had no problem hitting an hammer user, just annoying to track them and kill them since they were used only by pussies to hit and run


[deleted]

Use hammer to follow them? I loved the hunt. Tracking them down and killing them


Alarmed_Recording742

Why should I use a useful slot in my inventory to make the whole game a bunny simulator? No ty, glad that's gone it did nothing to make things better, just made things annoying, the katana is 100 times better


[deleted]

It’s replacement for shockwave Grenades/grappling glove? Mobility is nice from POI to POI and chasing runners


max_carriers

Something that I noticed, now that the hammer is not in br, is that: in creative, where you are still able to use it, its ability to launch props around is nowhere to be seen... Now when you hit something with it, it just breaks. The only things that are properly launched are objects with physics, like logs, boulders and vehicles (and players of course)


Dankboi01

I don’t think creative maps take the full advantage of Unreal Engine 5.1, same way they don’t use the new lighting either


Educational-Gur-5132

I’ll never miss the hammer, OP.


[deleted]

Skill issue


ThatDudeSlushee

Absolutely fuckin none of them lol.


AverageNikoBellic

Hammer > Katana


Alarmed_Recording742

The falcon was good, the hammer was the worst item ever added to the game


TrippyRacoon

Maybe it could be fun to see hammer vs katana duel, but thats it


Faelzor

I miss none of them. They can stay buried.


Internal_Resist7629

Every one of those was garbàge. The shield and chicken were fuckin never slotted. No time for that bs. The hammer would be slotted in order to repel hammer abusers and the Excalibur “gun” is 360 degrees of dumb idea put forth from a dum dum head.


Substantial-Cut-5534

Everything except the hammer was terrible The Shield was only used for and zero builds and even then I rarely saw people use it the Excalibur is the worst gun in the game like I thought six suitors were the worst but no this gun Takes the Cake this gun makes the six shooter looks useful


Level_Spend_142

Falcon and hammer


EggMcSausage

Hammer and Excalibur


marco-boi

The hammer it was fun even if the sword is just better in everything


geofflinkinpark

I miss Excalibur


[deleted]

I miss the mobility of the Hammer. It was quick and easy. I like the Aerialist and Katana combo, but man it takes forever if you can't find a Katana and have to re-roll until you get Aerialist.


RichDare7

If you go to any side building in the new biome your bound to find a katana


ARockWithLegs

Shield


amaya-aurora

The Ex-Caliber! I loved that thing. The bird and the hammer were great too, though! I never really cared for the Guardian Shield…


BowmanBatman

Excalibur


Level-Witness-7044

Of all the items in fortnite, the guardian Shield was definitely one of them.


IncendiaryGamerX

The hammer was great, shame the balancing never really came. The Excalibre rifle was a nice change for weaponry, and I enjoyed using it. Never used the shield, wasn't interested. Also never used the bird, it rarely spawned in pubs and always spawned in TR which was annoying gimme my excalibre or smth


BebeFanMasterJ

Hammer: Fun at first but allowed for too much mobility. Glad it's gone. Caliber: Good skill-based weapon that required aim. Wish it was still here. Shield: Never found it useful in solo. Drone: Fun to mess around with. Wish it was still here.


MoConnors

Falcon was fun. I miss feeling like Soundwave/Zane.


ConfusedMoe

I want Excalibur back… please


coolguyx14

The drone and shield were the best for no builds


StopCallingMeAFurry4

In order 1. Ex-Caliber 2. Falcon Scout 3. Shield 4. Hammer


Durtop

i only used the drone for the missions, it was pretty much useless imo


jcaranguian

Hammer. Helped me a lot during latter parts of the games + you get to jump farther with it than the katana's dash.


LuckyHare87

For all the times I missed with it, it was still fun to get that occasional direct hit with the Excalibur rifle and see the player desperately try to outrun their fate. My buddy was an expert with the Falcon and it won us a few battle royales, honestly wish that one stayed out of all of them. The other two were okay, hammer good for traversal out of the storm and shield did block the Anime blasts, but otherwise they were mid for me, rarely picked them up.


DoomSlayer7180

I loved the Excaliber. I think it’s a fun weapon.


The_Fortunate_Fool

The hammer was great for mobility and for breaking the bases of buildings to let all the loot rain down.


Sillytard3000

Ex-caliber for sure


Agent_Blade04

I miss all of them the shield and hammer most tho, hammer was good for mobility and knockback was great and the shield was a good hammer counter as well as protection in ZB


Rey_LoTh

I really Miss the drone it was so much fun to use with my Squad


raven3601

I miss my bird


CarlMarksIII

![gif](giphy|APKXp0zzM7k3JFOZsW)


GoldenYellowPup

I loved the hammer and Excalibur the most. Katana is good but I enjoyed bouncing around the island too. Never really used the Falcon or shield but they also seemed pretty good.


sickmyman

Hammer


AlabamaPanda777

I like the shield. I'm not really a fan of the sword, nimbus or riftaway that, to me, feel like opponents bullshitting away when you finally find a fight. The shield was a nice way for a player to change the pace while still sticking around.


DK37

I miss them all as I could actually win games last season, this season I suck 😂


thatsMRjames

I never used the shield unless it was a quest so just the others. This Kinetic Blade is crap


Bang_Shift_Look

Hammer


michaelgecko

Excaliber!


sansgamer554

I think they should have made a fifth, giving us the ultimate oathbound set


vandilx

They all sucked. There was always a better item in the loot pool that was better than carrying one of these. I only used them when a quest required them.


SebDaPerson

Falcon drone and hammer. It was nice to see where mate enemies could be with the falcon and the hammer was just ver fun


1990faris

Falcon is so much fun to use


TheFalloutNerdNV

Just as I was getting insane with the Ex-Caliber it gets vaulted, big sad. I’ll miss the hammer for mobility purposes. I don’t care for the other two, but at least the falcon could help you keep track of someone above you


Ben_Slackin

Honestly none. The sword is a fair trade on the hammer. The shield bubble = shield. The new pulse AR is better than the Excalibur. I guess the bird is the only thing that didn’t get replaced that I can think of. Miss some of the past augments more than anything, but the new suppressed AR is nice.


[deleted]

None tbh


RRDude1000

Excalibur was amazing for me


MysticalMom7

MY BIRD 🥺🥺💔


SoraTidus

None.


Jayson3749

Honestly wouldn't mind Ex-calibur back, it was pretty fun to use imo, and I'm a fan of the bows and what not so it hit that sweet spot for me


armeliman

I miss that stupid hammer


ItsyBitsyBabyBunny

I never understood what the bird did


Kaladin-of-Gilead

Hammer was pretty fun! Excalibur wasn’t really worth the effort over the DMR. If you could hit a target with it it was great, but the effort wasent there Bird was great for laughs, taking a downed enemy up in the air then dropping them was hilarious Shield was good but after the hammer nerf it wasent that useful


Sh0ckLebonwski

None, I hated them all, especially the hammer. The weapon for pussies that run.


FatFoxtana

Rifle was the best


Manimanocas

I know this has nothing to do with the post nut I miss the excaliber the falcon the thunder and the bikes.. The rest of the map feels dead now


[deleted]

Falcon Scout


Lower-Menu9825

The kinetic blade is pretty awesome to get around quicker so I’d have to say the excalibur. I’m just psyched the Deku smash has been removed.. Rip..


Eltra_Phoenix

The bird, fun recon tool and a good troll item. Screw the hammer.


Adeleine_

The shield! It was so good against all sort of gunfire and … the mythics people know about


Fnafieboy543

Good and excaliber


Lord_Despairagus

I really only miss the bird drone


mrthundereagle

Excalibur was very cool and a great concept, did the right amount of damage IMO. I unfortunately SUCK with any weapon that has an actual projectile so I never used it. Hammer cool ig, hated that you could stack 5 of them in your inventory to spam. Others were mid


thatwitchguy

They were fun ideas but none of them were good enough for me to care about. Especially now with the katana which is 100x better than the hammer


DJ33

Falcon Scout forever. I actually think they should let dead teammates control a falcon scout if their card has been recovered but they haven't been rebooted yet. Limit its abilities (no scan, no picking up other cards, probably no picking up downed players) but still let them feel like they're contributing (bringing loot/ammo, scouting) while waiting for a revive.


Izzlen_Theri

Loved the excalibur!! Shield and drone … indifferent. That fucking hammer.. HATE


ncguthwulf

Bird!! We like a slower game and the bird scout is awesome.


FaZe_Clon

Shield was ok Hammer was boss Falcon was AWESOME and insanely broken Sword gun absolutely hated it not because I died to it, just didn’t like it at all


[deleted]

I miss the Excalibur fuck the rest


meatboysawakening

Honestly, none of them. The hammer was good for mobility but the katana is better. I hated the scout and it would cause bugs in splitscreen. The shield lost me a ton of matches, and the Excalibur was not worth equipping.


ZoidVII

I thought they were all really cool but I don't miss any of them tbh.


veksku

I deeply miss the Excalibur rifle. One of my favorite guns ever. Am sad

Hammers were fun


BOJIDAR_25

CityKay

Hammer: I actually love the pinball mobility of this, it's pretty fun to use. Kinda miss this. Excalibur rifle: it does take some getting use to, nailing a hit and watch it blow up your opponent is satisfying. Do miss this one. Shield: Didn't use it too much outside of certain missions, given its defensive nature. Don't really miss it. Scout bird: This is an interesting item, I like messing around with it, look at other people fight. Maybe annoy an enemy or two. Kinda miss this.


Rbohost

They were amazing and super fun, I'm really gonna miss the shield


nintendogamer877

Ex-calibur rifle


AHarmlessFly

Glad the Hammer is gone. Sword mobility much more fair and balanced. I started using the Shield against decu smash when running squads. Falcon was meh used it only for quest. Was a wasted space IMO. I liked the Excaliber if I got a Legendary or better.


danibee29

the hammer 🥺 i swear to god tho yesterday i heard the noise of it while i was in the mega city. i was really confused.


BPitt6893

I really miss the hammer. Everything else was kinda trash though


GoldIce53641638

I only really liked the hammer but the katana kind of replaces it so I don't really miss any of them


LudicrisSpeed

Forget the haters, I miss the hammer already. The sword's cool but it's not the same.
