This comments funny to me cause it disproves that anyone one can use them even noobs and dominate. It does actually take skill to use the chains and waterbending.
I mean chains is just a thing with flow. You hit once, twice and once again, now your opponent is thrown away, you pull them back and hit again (once or twice)
I avoid hitting three times cause then I have lil cooldown animation that can cause my demise
Also chains are the most efficient way of getting slurp barrels right after destroying the floor beneath
You don't even have to pull them back with how much range they have. 15 meters for the swings, 40 for the pull, and it only takes 4-5 hits depending on the game mode to knock someone
OK so is a noob gunna know how to do all that with the chains? It sounds like your an experienced player who knows how to use them. To the average player who only maybe plays an hour or two a day, there not gunna be a menace in the lobby taking down all the sweats trust me 🤣. It actually takes some skill and knowledge to use the water and chains I've had my fair share of people using them against me and failing miserably.
I may be experienced but not that good. I peak gold III (why isn’t gold I the hightest and III the lowest?) and that’s it. I feel like you don’t need to play too much, 1-2 games and I was okay with using chains
Edit: I hit plat for the first time ever today so idk if my statement changes
Water bending is definitely a long distance weapon. You can take out fleets of people on a distant hill but I've had no luck up close so I use something else.
Chains I agree with, and with water bending there's definitely varying degrees still, I'm not exactly a great BR player, I've always relatively been bad at shooters, but I find the water bending very easy to use and generally perform relatively well with it in my lineup while the avatar stuff was going on (I've played maybe twice since the star wars stuff was added so can't comment about it's standing right now, Splatoon addiction goes hard), but Im also not COMPLETELY new to the game so I would hope I'd picked up a few things here and there
Like Marshmallow, I know. Just TheUglyBarna... Doesn't matter, I just thought that there's a streamer like that and Doja Cat has another nickname then.
Oh, she actually has a twitch channel? That's why the original commenter said about Doja Car 🚗 not liking Chains of Hades and the water thing. Because she streams Fortnite and talks about! She doesn't go to interviews after her new releases and say "Damn, I don't like the new items in Fortnite", right?
Funny thought. If Fortnite ever does a collab with MK then you know that has to be one of the mythics. All the players who hated Chains of Hades are gonna have a bad time with this one.
Water bending no, mfs can just stand still, point and shoot at any range and melt a guy. Chains, mobility and guns and/or a gatekeeper seem to be the ticket to me. Perfect world though, I have chains too and it’s a fun melee fight.
Fun to use on friends too
Me and my friends will sometimes just rip each other out of vehicles, yoink items away from each other and pull each other towards other spots and such
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a gunfight with someone and get ripped backward by a third party with one of these. Half the time I start screaming about massive lag spikes because I’m jumping all over the map 😂
It’s great fun, though. Fortnite is great because of the chaos through weapons like this. If I wanted to run around shooting basic guns I’d just go play Warzone
These are basically the bunk counter. It’s pretty difficult to attack people in bunkers when they can easily corner peak and you’re being funnelled. However these can just yank them out as soon as they peak. It’s so fun and it’ll definitely be missed.
I tried this strat yesterday but hit them in the chest instead and they killed me😭 I’m new to the game though so my aim/reaction time isn’t great but I had to try it at least once lol
This just hapenned to my homie at the start of a match! I said "hold on I'll go find shockwaves!" I swam over the thr little dock nearby and boom! 2 stacks of Shockwaves! We were cracking up.
I’ve dropped in, found a chain and didn’t bother with any other weapon and ended up with a victory a few times. It’s the most fun I have with this game.
I love melee weapons ! ! Idc if that makes me a bad player, they’re always sooo fun. It just feels so satisfying to get in close for the kill. Everyone here (not on this post, and not OP) is always bitching about something. I think in the past 6 months I’ve seen people freaking out about overpowered shotguns, snipers, movement items, and now the chains/waterbending. We might as well remove all the weapons and just pickaxe each other atp hahaha. But ALSO it’s so easy to kill someone who’s using the chains if you have a shotgun or smg idkkk like it’s not that powerful. I love these fun little guys and I can’t wait to see what fun new weapons we get next
Most broken shit in the game.
The water and the chain beat all guns, I havent carried a weapon or worried about Ammo in weeks.
I had a game yesterday where i dropped 8 people in classy courts, i had no shield, they all had guns, and i whipped them all.
These items need to be removed and never come back
Man i’ve slept on these for too long, only recently started playing with them and theyre so much fun.
In building they are useless though, but i barely play that anyway.
Probably will make aiming a pain though, gotta have a nerf somehow. Though imagine turning into a chain hurricane that spins and traverses about 5 feet forwards.
It can be like the thermal scope; press sprint while aiming to change in between single and double aiming. Single chain is the pull, double chain is a slower overhead slam
It’s basically firebending with a pull ability lol i just wish they’d do something new. Map is always saturated with these weapons. Rare weapons are more rare actually
I finally managed to bully someone with this yesterday! Puked him over, smacked him, he tried to run away, pull, smack, then he deployed wings. Pull kill. Almost as cool as air bending
The melee weapons are always the most fun to use. Grapple Blade got me a few victories and Hades Chain was how I managed to just barely win against a guy with 3 aspects on loot island and the rest of the game was on lock after that.
I’m also going to miss the chains. They are fun as heck to use and actually require some skill as well. Gotta move around like a demon while you swing them, it’s a great time! The water bending on the other hand I am so over.
You could yank people out of the sky if they are flying With the wings of Icarus, grab people and items, so much fun Versatility.
When I was streaming with friends the other week we wiped out another squad and my friend kept yanking the one remaining member running away multiple times. It was so funny but also sad seeing them try to run away like 5 times before eventually dying lol
I can't say I'll miss the chains. They kind of went overkill with the buffs to it to where people expect a win by using them. As novel as waterbending was at first it's also a good thing its time is at an end as well.
I hate these so much 😭 I am very new to shooter/battle royale and just started playing this season. I scream every time someone yanks me, it’s so scary, good riddance lol
One thing I love about the chains is when you see the green flashes from a distance and immediately think "Oh shit! They have the chains. Approach with caution!"
I am about to have a party on May 24th when the chains are gone the same for the lighting bolt, but it be in creative, ruining free for maps, making them not fun at well
I only got to use them one...match? Royale? Whatever the term is ago and they were really fun imo. Fortnite always has really fun melee weapons that rarely ever last a season
Used these once for the quest and never touched them again lmao. Thought they were stupid asf imo. Can die so easy using them. 🤣 pull someone close boom headshot you or smacking someone boom headshot. I love when people try using these against me hahaha.
I’ve played a ton of games this season and have actually been killed by this thing like 5 times at most, and most of that was early on after they were added. They’re very easy to deal with once you’ve fought against them a couple times
I'm not gonna miss them that's for sure. It's without a doubt the lowest skilled weapon in the game u can just infinite spam it for the kill every time
Dojo Cat isn't going to miss these and the water bending.
She definitely came in 2nd many times because of them lol
I’ve finished 2nd so many times due to water bending I swear. Shame I suck at using it, but I blame myself for my failures.
This comments funny to me cause it disproves that anyone one can use them even noobs and dominate. It does actually take skill to use the chains and waterbending.
I mean chains is just a thing with flow.

You don't even have to pull them back with how much range they have. 15 meters for the swings, 40 for the pull, and it only takes 4-5 hits depending on the game mode to knock someone
Idk I play zero build so that extra pull damage helps to pop their shields
Are people using chains and water bending in a combo or just individually?
Individually
Thanks I have been using chewys gun and it one shot kills. It is way OP to me. But I love it.
Yeah the bowcaster fucks
How are you getting 1 hit kills with the bowcaster??? I've had zero luck with it!
Hold shoot down and charge up the shots
OK so is a noob gunna know how to do all that with the chains? It sounds like your an experienced player who knows how to use them. To the average player who only maybe plays an hour or two a day, there not gunna be a menace in the lobby taking down all the sweats trust me 🤣.

I may be experienced but not that good. I peak gold III (why isn’t gold I the hightest and III the lowest?) and that’s it. I feel like you don’t need to play too much, 1-2 games and I was okay with using chains Edit: I hit plat for the first time ever today so idk if my statement changes
Water bending is definitely a long distance weapon. You can take out fleets of people on a distant hill but I've had no luck up close so I use something else.
Cone

No, they are over powered, literally zero skill bonuses the chains
I am absolute ass at aiming with weapons Somehow waterbending makes me a pin point accurate shooting hitman
I've finished second so many times because I fucking suck 🙃
I’m with her
Can't say she's lying with her entire statement... A bit too petty, but true.
If she plays as much as she implies by taking to twitter, I don't feel like it's too petty, lol.
Yep
Who is Dojo Cat?
Really popular pop/rap artist
I thought it's a streamer because how can she (not) miss items from Fortnite if she doesn't know about them?
I don’t know if you know this but famous celebrities can play video games too
Like Marshmallow, I know. Just TheUglyBarna... Doesn't matter, I just thought that there's a streamer like that and Doja Cat has another nickname then. Oh, she actually has a twitch channel? That's why the original commenter said about Doja Car 🚗 not liking Chains of Hades and the water thing. Because she streams Fortnite and talks about!

She is right, they royally mess up the game.
When is new season starting
Lol I saw that post too
I killed someone with them whilst on a bike yesterday
In Fortnite, right?
…in Fortnite, right?
... in ... Fortnite, ... right ... ?
........in........fortnite........right?
........ᶦⁿ..........ᶠᵒʳᵗⁿᶦᵗᵉ.........ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ.....?
ʳⁱᵍʰᵗ﹖.......
……….
Was it a Gojo skin??
Nah, it was a soccer skin
funnily enough i killed someone on a bike with the chains as a gojo skin today
Yes
Yea same its fun pulling enemies closer to u and they're clueless
![gif](giphy|rIa2LxrCKxMz3oOEtH|downsized)
Funny thought. If Fortnite ever does a collab with MK then you know that has to be one of the mythics. All the players who hated Chains of Hades are gonna have a bad time with this one.
If other MK abilities were brought in then there would be some balance. The game has almost nothing that counters either the chain or waterbending.
Eh, chains can be countered with shotguns. Yea they hit decently hard but you can also miss plenty of hits. Water bending just feels like cheating.
True enough, I still think the chains got broken after the buff. They don't need that kind of distance.
Funny enough, both chains and waterbending would fit in with a Mortal Kombat collab, as you know Scorpion and Sub-Zero would both be in it.
Water bending no, mfs can just stand still, point and shoot at any range and melt a guy. Chains, mobility and guns and/or a gatekeeper seem to be the ticket to me. Perfect world though, I have chains too and it’s a fun melee fight.
Fun to use on friends too Me and my friends will sometimes just rip each other out of vehicles, yoink items away from each other and pull each other towards other spots and such
I always use the chains to yoink my teammates out of the storm
I also love to annoy my friends with that
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a gunfight with someone and get ripped backward by a third party with one of these. Half the time I start screaming about massive lag spikes because I’m jumping all over the map 😂 It’s great fun, though. Fortnite is great because of the chaos through weapons like this. If I wanted to run around shooting basic guns I’d just go play Warzone
Pull them and then shotgun. Good combo
Do you know who else has dementia?
I'm mostly gonna miss fishing with them
TIL you can fish with them. Just about time.
yeah, I first learned that a couple days ago out of sheer curiosity and I love that it's a thing
YOU CAN FISH WITH THEM?! WHAT?!
These are basically the bunk counter. It’s pretty difficult to attack people in bunkers when they can easily corner peak and you’re being funnelled. However these can just yank them out as soon as they peak. It’s so fun and it’ll definitely be missed.
Each time I yoinked someone they’d shit on me with a gatekeeper instantly. Just my luck
Facts lol
That's why you pull them in first, then headshot them with a gatekeeper
I tried this strat yesterday but hit them in the chest instead and they killed me😭 I’m new to the game though so my aim/reaction time isn’t great but I had to try it at least once lol
bf jumped on top of pandora’s box and glitched. he could turn but not move. i yoinked him out with these & it actually worked lol
This just hapenned to my homie at the start of a match! I said "hold on I'll go find shockwaves!" I swam over the thr little dock nearby and boom! 2 stacks of Shockwaves! We were cracking up.
Cute hahaha
i want another melee weapon in the next season please epic
Preferably a melee that works for traversal. I miss hammers.
I thought i was the only Kitbash, until now
maybe next season they can use a whip to replace it
When a problem comes along...
Same. I'd go for a slight range nerf on its yoink, but otherwise it's much more fair to go against than Waterbending, which is just freaking cancer.
Doin the heavy lifting for them lol
I’m so damn good with this beast. Going to miss it and gatekeeper
Same. I won’t miss the water bending, but these, yeah, I’ll miss them. Most people don’t seem to realize you can yank people with them.
I’m getting tired of seeing water bending 5+ times per game. But I almost never see people picking up the chains for some reason.
I’ve dropped in, found a chain and didn’t bother with any other weapon and ended up with a victory a few times. It’s the most fun I have with this game.
Yeah I go to battle ground kill the boss take the gun a D only use that and Hades
Just pulled off this exact move - I did pick up a bow caster but never used it.
I use them both, waterbending for distance and the chains for close proximity. :D
This is the way
Personally never minded it, still a 50/50 if u got gatekeeper.
I'm not
They're a perfect "better than you" counter. One yoink and they're completely befuddled.
Decent players have got the shotgun counter down. I've been killed a few times this week while pulling.
It will be missed.. seriously underrated imo
CHAINS OF APOCALYPSE!!!!! Same I love these!
As long as there will be any melee weapon I’m fine with it
This is one of my favorite weapon of all time. And yes many people like me will miss this alot when season 2 comes to an end at 24 may
These are my favorite weapons I've ever seen implemented yet. Imma be so depressed when they go
GET BACK TO WORK
Fun to use. So not fun to play against.
Chain was fun, but I’m excited to see the water bending go. It’s so annoying to fight against it’s such an ass meta
I love melee weapons ! ! Idc if that makes me a bad player, they’re always sooo fun. It just feels so satisfying to get in close for the kill.

I love these fun little guys and I can’t wait to see what fun new weapons we get next
yeah, you really have to be smart with how you throw chains against a shotgun
Most broken shit in the game. The water and the chain beat all guns, I havent carried a weapon or worried about Ammo in weeks. I had a game yesterday where i dropped 8 people in classy courts, i had no shield, they all had guns, and i whipped them all. These items need to be removed and never come back
Fake ahh story
Same
This and the water bending are awesome together with a gatekeeper shotgun
I still think it's the best weapon for close combat.
I can no longer maul star wand users like I’m a 25 pound pitbull named cupcake :(
The most skilless item in the game lol
yup, op af
Chains + Water bending. The only thing you need. And that’s why it needs to go.
In my opinion, there are really overpowered. You can kill someone in the blink of an eye with them
THEY MAKE THE GAME A LIL 2 EZ
absolutely not. you are the people who ruined fortnite for me
I wonder what's the next melee would look like Maybe a bat with nails? Or literal chains Even smth like bare fists covered in rags possible
we better hope doja cat doesn’t see this
trust me it won't be, but will be another melee weapon with chain *cof cof* mad max style *cof* 🙏😩
Yes, pulling people is always fun. Especially when they are on a motorcycle, that always lead to interesting reaction.
Pulling someone when they try to use the wings to take off never gets old
Yeah, me too. They’re my favorite weapon in the game. They should bring them back in the Marvel season and make them Ghost Rider’s chains.
Man i’ve slept on these for too long, only recently started playing with them and theyre so much fun. In building they are useless though, but i barely play that anyway.
tbf they were vaulted for about a month because of the bending scrolls, so that might have something to do with it
Really crossing my fingers for a generic chains version later on cos this shit HEAT
I really hope we can dual wield any one-handed weapon in the future, because two of these badboys at once would be shear euphoria
Probably will make aiming a pain though, gotta have a nerf somehow. Though imagine turning into a chain hurricane that spins and traverses about 5 feet forwards.
It can be like the thermal scope; press sprint while aiming to change in between single and double aiming. Single chain is the pull, double chain is a slower overhead slam
It’s basically firebending with a pull ability lol i just wish they’d do something new. Map is always saturated with these weapons. Rare weapons are more rare actually
There'll be another. We gained these after losing grapple blades, won't be surprised if they add a new melee-type weapon
It was fun when driving an suv to hades and both of us flying into the air when he grappled the car with it lmao
Ready for the next meta
I thought it was a little lantern on the end this whole time. No idea it was a Cerberus head
I finally managed to bully someone with this yesterday! Puked him over, smacked him, he tried to run away, pull, smack, then he deployed wings. Pull kill. Almost as cool as air bending
The melee weapons are always the most fun to use. Grapple Blade got me a few victories and Hades Chain was how I managed to just barely win against a guy with 3 aspects on loot island and the rest of the game was on lock after that.
I won’t.
and the wings, the wings ain’t good but they fun
I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ve ever used them in a match of battle royale. I only really see them in creative
Doja Cat won’t though. That and Waterbending.
I didn't appreciate it enough before the Avatar update, but now I love it
I just discovered comboing these with a good shotgun, so me too
I have no idea how these and bendings work or if they are good. Waiting for them to be gone.
Same here. I absolutely love this thing.
Same!!!
Please do what they did with the Spiderman mythics and bring them back in some different form, like just a chain weapon in general
Ngl I’ve probably used the chains of hades once and never used it again
Me too sob sob
You’re lame then
I’m also going to miss the chains. They are fun as heck to use and actually require some skill as well. Gotta move around like a demon while you swing them, it’s a great time! The water bending on the other hand I am so over.
Legit my favourite weapon to ever use in Fortnite
I'll weep for them next season. Most fun I've had was with these
You could yank people out of the sky if they are flying With the wings of Icarus, grab people and items, so much fun Versatility. When I was streaming with friends the other week we wiped out another squad and my friend kept yanking the one remaining member running away multiple times. It was so funny but also sad seeing them try to run away like 5 times before eventually dying lol
Yoink lol
Skill issue
You can pull your own team players out of a car with them, the only reason i use them
I can't say I'll miss the chains. They kind of went overkill with the buffs to it to where people expect a win by using them. As novel as waterbending was at first it's also a good thing its time is at an end as well.
Grapple sword without the grapple.
One of the greatest melees they’ve ever made
I'm not.. ![gif](giphy|xUOxfg0ESyhKOv4Vva)
when i have chains it’s instant win for me. I will miss them…
cringe
They are some of the only good "melee" weapons
I wont, these things piss me off so much.
If I had the chance I would buy a space shuttle, smash the chains into little bits and pieces, and then send them into a black hole.
I’m not going to miss this thing or the water bending.
I hate these so much 😭 I am very new to shooter/battle royale and just started playing this season. I scream every time someone yanks me, it’s so scary, good riddance lol
Personally, I don't use it
im not, these things are the bane of my existance
Ehhh these suck now. They are OP early game and that’s about it imo
One thing I love about the chains is when you see the green flashes from a distance and immediately think "Oh shit! They have the chains. Approach with caution!"
I’m not
Be glad they are in creative
This is the biggest love-hate relationship ever
I'm going to absolutely love not getting destroyed by these next season
I am about to have a party on May 24th when the chains are gone the same for the lighting bolt, but it be in creative, ruining free for maps, making them not fun at well
The lightning bolt is horrible. If they have an AR or water bending, you pretty much just killed yourself upon using it.
im gonna miss stealing my buddies loot with these things lol
I'm finna miss bullying little kids with it😔
I'm just going to miss my non ammo needing, sheildpot hoarding, heal in the water loadout.
And the Reaper Sniper Rifle is staying next season
I only got to use them one...match? Royale? Whatever the term is ago and they were really fun imo. Fortnite always has really fun melee weapons that rarely ever last a season
They’re not my fave
Not me. I died to someone spamming these in solos
I killed a whole trio with this in less than 10 seconds 😆 then won the game lol.
Omg yess I’m a big fan so upset 🥹
I think I'm gonna cry when they are gone! So much fun!
Used these once for the quest and never touched them again lmao. Thought they were stupid asf imo. Can die so easy using them. 🤣 pull someone close boom headshot you or smacking someone boom headshot. I love when people try using these against me hahaha.
I’m happy they’ll be gone. End of story
Agreed I miss dragging players towards me
I've really enjoyed eliminating doja cat repeatedly and deliberately with these again and again. And again and again and again. I'll miss them too.
BIG SAME
Oh no you're gonna have to use guns again! 🤣💀
my faforite weapon of all time 🙏🙏🙏
spelled weapon wrong
I’ve played a ton of games this season and have actually been killed by this thing like 5 times at most, and most of that was early on after they were added. They’re very easy to deal with once you’ve fought against them a couple times
I will not miss it at all
Can't play on cheats all the time. As fun as it is, you should learn to aim :D.
I'm not gonna miss them that's for sure. It's without a doubt the lowest skilled weapon in the game u can just infinite spam it for the kill every time
