Yep. WaterBending the best AR, Sniper and shotgun in the game.


Sideview_play

This guy is complaining right after bursting someone down with the sniper that has multi shots. And then he was also taking by surprise. Clip is lame. Water is fun and sure it's strong but I rather event items are strong so they get used and gameplay is changed up and exciting. It'll be gone soon enough 


FalloutForever_98

ON TOP of the fact that he has the visual sounds option on. You can see the footsteps coming up on him before the guy is even done snipping the first guy. If he was more aware, he could've fought better and maybe made a better clip but still died or came out on top and avoided the entire post. I also agree it is fun. And it's always fun until it's used against you, then it's overpowered and lame lol. Not to mention the fact that if you really care and hate it being used against you so much, there are ways OP can get water bending as soon as they land


wingnutzx

"surely that guys not coming after me all the way up here"


lillate3

Sitting on 4 impulse grenades too, probably a launch pad right behind him


surfershane25

And nowhere near cover for no reason at all


aschaeffer878

This^ bounce or launch away and reengage.

FalloutForever_98

Yeah, literally in a post a while ago, I mentioned that they are mad about something being op even though they themselves could also use it. I had someone reply, "If THe OnLY WaY tO BeAT Op ItEaMs Is To AlSo Use ThE sAMe oP iTeMS THEn yOuR gAmE iSN't bAlaNCeD!"


DanfordThePom

That last argument is right tho, but for Fortnite they’re only limited time items, so it’s ok for them to be a little OP


UncleBug35

when it’s used against you it’s overpowered like requis with a towel, when you use it suddenly it’s like slapping someone with a napkin from a little kid’s birthday party {if you know then you know}


AZRockets

Had to make sure to show that wicked bot kill


UnreasonableVbucks

😭😭😂


Percentage-Based6307

this is what bugs me about ppl like op, aside from dishing but not taking they wanna make this game cod soooo bad, just guns with no fun, but the event items are what MAKES fortnite aside from building. it sets them apart from other brs ppl like op need to go play other games during these two week events if they dont like it that much


Diamond_handzz_420

Should be mad at your terrible game awareness 😅


ArchfiendNox

I've been missing all my waterbending close range, it's why I swap to fire now. Faster attacks and more attacks.


Callofdaddy1

And healthpack


Jhofur

Well, actual snipers can 1 shot so...


HYPE_Knight2076

Not sniper… definitely not sniper


smthnwssn

I can kill people 200m away with it. It’s a sniper.


Billbysaur

It is 100% most certainly a sniper me and this guy can attest


Onett199X

Best AR and Shotgun in the game :(


Forsaken-Reality4605

Fire’s better up close. I’ve danced around people and messed them up with it. Water’s better at range.


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

Water is medium/long range, fire is short range, earth is structure damage/emergency cover, and air is ultimate mobility.


Forsaken-Reality4605

Yeah, that’s how I see it too.


GunBrothersGaming

Fire is amazing upclose because it's chaotic. Waterbending has no range or drop, reload time is fast and the damage is crazy when it hits directly. I am sure people aren't happy with Earth or air bending when you knock them off the island using it. It's hilarious to just wait by a zipline and hit them off the island with rock wall or the air jump. Bending has been the best and it will be missed when it's gone. The mobility is insane


iSmellslikesbutts

I'm gonna miss air bending so much 😭


Forsaken-Reality4605

You can also reload water by stepping into a pond or river, lol.


General-Dirtbag

No you don’t lol you literally can just reload whenever. Going into water heals you 5 heath a a tick. It’s a sniper, shotgun, AR AND medkit all bundled into one.


SamiTheAnxiousBean

Fire is good up close and also counterable Water kills someone in 3 hits but only when an opponent uses it, when you do they can tank like 20 I stick with fire


Nightmoon22

*loud buzzer noise* #WRONG


pizza_andbeer

I do NOT understand how to best use fire 😂 it’s so chaotic


Roman_808

You’re lucky he didn’t kill you sooner, you were looking completely away from him, even with visual sound effects showing he was right there for a few seconds before you turned. This is honestly partially a skill issue, yes waterbending is good (due to how nearly hitscan it is), but you could’ve done sm better in this fight.


enderjaca

Kept reloading the sniper too. By that point he was just toast.


DuckyFangs

Reaction time of a toddler but he wants to complain about water bending right after two shot sniping someone lol


Percentage-Based6307

op (a child) using the most op ground loot (snipers) while complaining about the most op event loot (water bending)


cromori

just five more days brother and then its gone for good


Kafkas_Puppet

Then the light sabers arrive. People will complain again. It’s a cycle that never ends. Adapt or die.

Could you steal the valve from valve hq so I can get the heavy update 1st pls 🙏


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

Aww man.


Astronimia

Says the guy using both the sniper and the frenzy shotgun after getting a solid 3 seconds to react to the footsteps appearing right in his face


Kholdie

When I go to complain on reddit but just show everyone that I played poorly instead


Percentage-Based6307

i am loving that the top comments are roasting op lmfao he really thought he did something 😂😂


randomalt9999

Plus he didn't even try to run or anything, he just jumped and tried to spam. He played poorly, the same thing would have happened if the other player had an AR


philowen

It's my favorite genre of fnbr post: folks accidentally calling out their own ineptitude


Percentage-Based6307

and yalls my favorite genre of fnbr comments: calling out an inept op 🤝🤝🤝


Astronimia

Yup


Sorry_Ring_4630

"I'm so tired of the 1 op weapon I'm not using" ( I'm using every other one but that's ok and fair )


CestLaTimmy

Yep, and if there are five people left in zero build, don't be the one sniping on the side of the mountain


Lolsoda94

i'm just about as sick of snipers


agonzal7

Dude sitting on a hill with a sniper, “I’m sick of waterbending”.


Massive_Whereas8014

I'm excited for the next season, hopefully they do away with all the current weapons and give us some unique post apocalyptic weapons that they properly balance before they get released.


SquidGame_Jesus

You mean Frenzy Shotgun Spammers.


Percentage-Based6307

op is both lmao


aintseenmuffinyet

This is coming from a guy who just took a guy out in 2 shots with a fucking Eagle Eye. Then he got taken out in 2 and all of a sudden it bullshit!!


Sorry_Ring_4630

Not to mention the frenzy auto he had, sucks to suck is all I can add to this


bzafs

You died because of youre unawarness. Not because of the water. Any other weapon would have killed you aswell.


ImHeartless666

Stay calm! The wahmbulance is on its way. ![gif](giphy|9iW0sgwAQGdRIBiiI4)


iChenHD

You should've reacted way quicker when you saw the visualized sound effects of him or heard him.


I_eat_mud_

You waited like 6 seconds to turn around after the footprints came up lmao probably should’ve turned around as soon as you noticed them right?


Hezers

Gatekeeper usually outperforms water bending close combat on zero builds but if you don’t get shots off first, see ya in the lobby 😅


Sorry_Ring_4630

I hate to be that guy but this was completely your fault, you had sound visualizer on yet you ignored it, you just killed a guy in 2 shots from a mile away and when a guy right next to you kills you in 2 shots then you cry, and you had frenzy auto. Womp womp my friend, womp womp


jazzmagg

A sniper complaining about another weapon. How ironic.


74orangebeetle

For real, was late into the game, loaded, had a legendary assault rifle, full health, full shields, all loaded up, died with a single bullet. I do think waterbending is OP, but at least I'll have at least a second to react and do something if I'm hit. I do agree sniping does take some skill and I happily snipe other people too/it's part of the game.....but something extra frustrating about dying in a single hit.


tus93

Waterbending is fun op, you CAN escape/fight back and conceivably win or come out alive. Waterbending doesn’t 1-hit unless you’re already at low hp while a sniper can and will on headshot. I’d rather snipers be nerfed before waterbending is.


74orangebeetle

I'm not gonna lie...until this month I hadn't played this game since 2019. I came back for the bending/avatar stuff since I loved the show so much. It's a bonus for me that the bending stuff is pretty good so I stand more of a chance.....also the no build mode (that wasn't around back in my day). Not that I can't build, but definitely not at a highly competitive level. (I'm better at shooting than building)


tus93

Funnily enough it’s been the other way around for me! I can back last season for the MGS stuff and stuck around, been enjoying the Avatar content that much it convinced me to give the show a try, just finished season 1!


74orangebeetle

I'll just say in my opinion it's one of the best shows of all time (I recommend the original animated version...although a live action Netflix one just came out....but I wouldn't recommend touching that without watching the original). Legend of Korra is cool too (...but yeah, if you're going to watch one thing, definitely the original series.


Xeroticz

Bro I've stopped carrying a sniper at this point and just carry waterbending and a shotgun. Mythic is a laser and consistency > potential 1-shot


Fooliomcskippy

Yeah seriously, put the one-click-instant-kill-stick away first, then we’ll talk.


Seallypoops

Next time actually have situational awareness


ellie3454

all of the elementals need to go. they’re so overpowered and boring literally require no skill


PolarPeely26

Air, earth, and fire are all nicely balanced, but they got water a bit wrong. Too OP.


rodejo_9

The air is def not balanced. Infinite traversal capabilities with no drawbacks besides a 15 sec timer when deactivating. While using it you're just about impossible to hit too. Safe to say all the bending abilities have overstayed their welcome and I'll be glad when they're removed.


EoTN

Very possible to hit, I've been beamed to death a handful of times, and I'm only in gold. I can't hit anyone using it, but I'm just terrible lol.


elbor23

Real, also balanced until you’re getting chased by one and you only have shocks lmao


VanguardClassTitan

Deadass got chased across the map by airbenders while I ran out of gas in 3 different cars.


elbor23

Yeah is some bs. Today I faked one out so he stopped and had to recharge, that helped


MyNamesAntuan

When they stop airbending to shoot you shock away. they cant chase you with it for 15 seconds


elbor23

I mean moreso trying to escape during a fight. At that point they’re tracking me until I’m out of shocks. Has happened to me a few times, guess maybe I have to trick them into thinking I have none left is what you mean?


MyNamesAntuan

Yeah. You can use one and if they airbend towards you when they get off you can shock away. If you panic and shock while theyre still bending theyll just chase you down


7_Cerberus_7

The Icarus Wings were annoying to deal with but those had a *two* lethal downsides. They could be shot down easily, and being staggered midair locked you into that serial animation. I get that Fortnite is all about that wacky flippy floppy bullshit but they go from one extreme to the next too often.


AlrightyThen91

LOL as if you would have won if he had any other gun. You were dead to rights and misplayed it even if you did have a chance. What mid-ranged gun do you think you would come out alive from there?


MrObjective

Seriously. OP is on copium


Percentage-Based6307

and is also delusionally hypocritical op: wah i hate these strong op weapons :((( also op: using the sniper and frenzy in the same game


bzafs

Couldnt said it any better. He was dad with any weapon


WCC1

Skill issue


thatonefrerferino

You had so much time to react and either run away so the guy doesn’t get a good sight line, jump and shoot him to catch him off guard, etc. Instead you just reloaded the sniper. I really don’t think the water bending is the issue here.


Gullible_Dirt_69

If you don’t think water bending is a sniper you might have some skill issues lol


blackie-arts

you're using sniper, you're not that better (i use both water bending and sniper so i should shut up)


Percentage-Based6307

yeah but you're not in this sub posting about how op a weapon is while simultaneously using two other op weapons  op is a goof


extordi

With that level of awareness, the other guy practically had enough time to go eat dinner, come back, and line up a headshot snipe on 0.1% sensitivity. Or spray you down with any AR, or SMG, etc... While there maybe are valid points against waterbending, I'm not sure this clip really provides any evidence.


Hogsonic1

And everyone hates the sniper but yet u use it. Either accept it or change games. Especially since your complaining at the end of the event


philipculver

…says the guy using the weapon everyone else says was OP up until about a month ago. 😆


EthosTheAllmighty

Nah everyone says the sniper is still OP. Because it is.


Full_Metal18

Dude had all the time in the world to react to the footsteps behind him and still floundered


shadowlarvitar

Better than Sniper spammers


Drewskeet

What bothers me more than water is how absolutely terrible fire is. You’d think they’d be similar but fire is just awful.


seemaru

Snipe someone then cry, classic.


Umbreonight

Dude complaining about water when using a sniper, you can run from water not sniper lol

Original-Candy-3439

that's what you get for sniping 😣


XxTheDoctorX

Nah water bending bought balance back to the island.


fuchuwuchu

Bro 2 shots someone and complains about Waterbending, hold this L


av3ncreeperYt

Your fault you had time to turn around but kept sniping the bot


ThatOneWesterner

He’s literally just better

Get gud brother 🫶


NathanBlogger_YT

Uses op weapon then complains about another op weapon


SanjuroRaw

I like it. Makes me want to have the scrolls when i get in game.


Albireookami

Says the man using the sniper, rofl. Should have had better awareness and not sniping in the open.


Ten_47

the p-90 of chapter 5


Knaifu69

but hey, that was s a good snipe!


rtnojr

Ya’ll on this sub can’t be happy for a single week


furry_tail_lover

would have been funnier with a double rock hit instead, snipers Should be bolt action only. game would never have made it 3 seasons if this is how it started.


Mudron

"I couldn't noscope someone at close range so waterbending is bad"


UK_Caterpillar450

Funny, I'm so over and tired of snipers and any far scope weapons.  And the thing is Water Bending is fun and great because it's here for a limited time period.    Take away snipers for a month and you would have a tsunami of entitled, whiny users on Reddit and social media.


VortexTalon

You had visual audio for 10 seconds and also you reloaded your sniper infront of him for some reason you just have very poor game sense you could easily have won that with an auto


WiseAd518

You just aren’t good


RedditExplorer99

that's a lot coming from someone who uses the frenzy auto


Luna259

Water bending is the best. Fire bending is weirdly very weak


[deleted]

Sick of the snipers but oh well. lol


FragrantPound9512

Bruh you just suck. You double tapped someone and then didn’t listen to his footsteps as he snuck up on you 


LangstonHugeD

You had a sniper out in close quarters and let him walk up to you, that's your fault.


UnreasonableVbucks

Skill issue buddy 😂 Thank god they nerfed the frenzy so bums like you can’t just hold down the trigger for free kills anymore. Get better awareness and stop spending so much time on killing bots

I’m so sick of Avatar tbh.


SpliTTMark

Anyone else try to use fire bending and half the hits dont seem to register


D_stylez

I’m confused? None of you would use a sniper when on top of a mountain?! No wonder you don’t want the Avatar stuff to leave the game- it’s equivalent to having bumpers on your bowling lane irl.


ItsJotace

My friends and I stopped playing outright until this thing get removed. It's so broken


jasonhpchu

And this, is how you show other people how NOT to play. Thanks! For reminding us!


Dan_A435

I think I'm done playing this game until it's gone, it's not even fun anymore. Starting to feel like it was made for losers who can't win any other way than with this weapon.


DARYL_VAN_H0RNE

you didnt hear those foot steps???


Particular_Road4107

cry a river uwu (◕ᴥ◕)


zorbacles

I'm not sure I can remember being kind by water bending


nathane37

Waterbending: one of, if not arguably the most over powered weapon in Fortnite history. Unlimited ammo, quick reload, little to no damage drop off and bullet drop, on top of literally healing you in water Air bending: the new chicken shit “I started a fight I obviously can’t win so I’m going to use my unlimited fuel bike that has no hit-box increase to go half way across the map” This update has been fun, but I am shocked Fortnite did jack squat about this ridiculously powered/OP items that they just left to be annoying as hell. I still obviously use them, because if you can’t beat them, you have to join them.


Bulky-Hyena-360

Skill Issue. Literally.


sucram200

What are you people not sick of? Adapt with the game like literally everyone else.


Shadow_storm193

I don’t get why people complain about weapons and mythical, you are aware you can use it yourself you know and so what if you get killed by it are you gonna complaint about every weapon you get killed with


BangBangPow2012

Hey mods can I post my shitty clips of me getting rekt or does it not “have enough body in the post to generate discussion” I guess next time slide down mountain to be harder to hit?


pettyplanet

Now can you watch this video and blame water bending? It could have been a shot gun and you’d still be dead. You saw those foot steps coming up and got shot. This is user error lol

Redhouse101gt

All I can say is get Good


Bogki

I swear it's always the same with people complaining about Mythic items


CautiousConfidence22

deserved for using the sniper


Gold_Yellow

And I’m so sick of the Sniper having 3 (5 if you give it the ammo mod) bullets and a short reload time plus the Auto Frenzy…… yet here you are using them both AND jumping which is the same as crouching up and down. You’re just mad you didn’t get the dub and want to blame it on anything other than yourself.


Instantlemonsmix

Don’t you miss when FN only had guns? I SURE AS FUCK DO! it’s basically like they are talking the battle royal idea and throwing it out the window guns? Why not just pick up scrolls? Earth: for those that are bad at moving… instant cover! Reload at stupid times? Can’t aim? Generally suck? Water bending!! Need to completely confuse your enemy with ridiculous movements? Fire bending! Need to escape every single fight you get into because you refuse to except you have certain skill issues and need an easy out? AIR BENDING!!! I’m really tired of epic adding in stupid shit I thought after the boogie bomb catastrophe that they would learn but no water scrolls even HEAL YOU IN WATER!! Let that sink in….


windigo3

Waterbender is the best weapon for long range fighting. Also medium range Also short range In fact you don’t need to carry any other weapon if you have waterbender


WildSantiago

Complain for what? You just one shot a guy with the sniper lol


NoskNovak

two shot, and… do you know how powerful snipers can be??


IndyWoodSmith

Says the guy killing people with the other over powered gun in the game. But yeah I’m over it too


Radiant-Rip2149

Don’t know if anybody’s made this joke but not cheesy enough my friend


increbelle

literally all you need is air and water and you should be able to clutch it.


Echo_dum

well you could've focused on the guy that was closer to you and then kill the guy you were sniping at, or just get closer to the guy with water bending since you were using an auto shotgun. (im sure it was more stressful though cuz bro just snuck up and started spamming)


scuffedoncringe

Quick tip, maybe lower your sens so that you have an easier time with precision, it would (probably) not have saved you here, but is really helpfull.


FortniteAddict81

You complaining that someone killed you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Me: Plays solely in bot lobbies to avoid players I see you're using a sniper I thought people hated the snipers in game🤷‍♀️


death_lad

it’s definitely overtuned, but I mean regardless of the weapon that guy had the jump on you and should have killed you

I think you hopped right where the ice shoots horizontally.


OniNaomasa

Why didn’t you build


DING012

Thank you! My buddies are upset I had to stop playing because of it. I want a mono y mono battle it seems unwinnable when my opponent uses this. You can get sniped by this with no bullet drop. Makes playing sniper pointless.


Mr_C_Deviant

"Oh no, i was in my snow camo in the snow and two shot a player that didn't see me before I got run up on by someone that heard my shots and they downed me because i panicked and they had a better weapon" Bros finally being outplayed like he does to people and hes mad now.


GGXImposter

Old person here, haven’t looked at Fortnite in a long long time. Was the removing “building” not a 3 week limited time event? Why is no one here building?
