Transcripts

00:00

guys I have terrible news about the new

00:02

fortnite season fortnite has delayed the

00:05

season that's right uh I woke up after

00:08

only getting 2 hours of sleep because

00:10

you know me I got to be on when the

00:11

season goes live so I can give you guys

00:12

the content and it looked like there

00:15

were some delays and we've seen delays

00:17

like this in the past where it's like

00:18

maybe an hour delay couple hours delay

00:20

well then we got word that they the

00:22

delay could take 3 to 4 hours meaning

00:25

that the season wouldn't be live until

00:27

about 12:00 p.m. uh EAS eastern time um

00:31

and right now I'm recording this it's

00:32

8:00 a.m. Central 9:00 a.m. eastern time

00:35

but we just got a new update right now

00:37

from fortnite status themselves and they

00:40

just said that due to the issue that the

00:43

season will not launch for at least

00:46

keyword at least an additional 8 hours

00:50

that's right that means this season will

00:53

launch with the sun being down in EU and

00:57

the sun will be setting in North America

01:00

so this is probably the latest season

01:02

launch I have ever seen and one of the

01:05

biggest delays to a fortnite update or

01:07

season launch in general so I'm not sure

01:10

exactly what issue they're struggling

01:12

with they haven't really specified what

01:14

the issue is we do have like footage of

01:17

the battle pass the trailer and

01:18

everything so we know that the season

01:20

looks very promising I'm just going to

01:22

talk about what's going to be in the

01:23

season just so you guys know but just

01:25

know that by the time you're watching

01:27

this video you're still going to have to

01:28

wait a few more hours before you can

01:29

even play so here's the thing about the

01:32

season we have uh new Mythic items uh we

01:35

saw that there's four new bosses each

01:38

having their own Mythic there's a new

01:40

Mythic shotgun it shoots a little bit

01:42

faster than the attack and it has like

01:43

three shots before you reload the Mythic

01:45

version can do 150 plus headshot damage

01:48

that shotgun is going to be extremely

01:49

extremely powerful um there's also four

01:52

new medallions medallions are still in

01:54

the game but they work differently in

01:57

this season um there is a medallion

02:00

that's going to give you siphon there's

02:01

a medallion that's going to allow you to

02:03

use a little bit of like a shadow jump

02:05

Shadow step on cool down and that one I

02:08

believe is going to be dropped by Hades

02:10

or Cerberus there's a medallion that

02:12

gives you uh a little bit of a boost

02:14

when you jump when you sprint you're

02:16

actually going to have like a little bit

02:17

of a super jump we saw this in the

02:19

trailer and then the final Medallion is

02:21

actually going to give you extra damage

02:24

um on ranged weapons so assault rifles

02:27

sniper rifles and maybe even SMGs the

02:29

thing is now that the medallions do not

02:31

give you Shield uh passive Shield if you

02:34

carry all four medallions you're pretty

02:36

much going to be like a Demi God cuz

02:38

then you're going to have siphon on

02:39

eliminations you're going to have a

02:40

super jump and you're going to do more

02:42

damage against other players with your

02:44

assault rifle and you know sniper rifles

02:46

that's pretty crazy so I'm not sure if

02:48

they're going to be too op but I think I

02:50

would prefer to fight somebody who has

02:52

like some extra abilities then fight

02:54

somebody who has five medallions and

02:55

when you shoot them for a 100 their

02:57

Shield just replenishes so now the the

02:59

medallions will not replenish your

03:01

Shield besides the siphon one which

03:02

requires you to get eliminations also

03:04

there's two new biomes for this season

03:07

um that's right there's two new biomes

03:08

one in the Northwest and one in the

03:11

Southeast uh the Northwest one is where

03:14

Hades resides in the underworld in the

03:16

Southeast one is where we see Olympus

03:19

two pois at each biome and ruined reels

03:23

has you know changed and now it's

03:24

rebuilt reels I think so that's five new

03:27

pois and two new biomes this is a pretty

03:29

massive change to the map so this update

03:32

is pretty significant epic dropped

03:34

probably one of the best trailers I have

03:35

ever seen for a new fortnite season so

03:38

it looks very promising everyone is

03:40

extremely excited but like I said it's

03:42

delayed so something major is holding it

03:44

back there's also some very interesting

03:46

news about the actual story for fortnite

03:48

and if you don't care about story you

03:49

should still listen because there is

03:51

some gameplay implications to this

03:53

chapter 5 season 2 let's go back to

03:55

chapter 2 season 2 that's when we got

03:58

introduced to Midas and his crew Midas

04:00

meows Brutus um tantina well Midas is

04:04

actually returning and this time he's

04:05

not just returning as a skin he actually

04:07

is playing a part in the story like

04:09

actually they have teased him for so

04:11

many years since he disappeared or died

04:15

but he's alive and he's actually back

04:17

Don mustard was not capping and it looks

04:19

like he has some plans to take down the

04:21

gods Zeus and the people that are on the

04:24

map and he's reuniting with his crew all

04:27

the chapter 2 season 2 bosses will be on

04:30

the map as NPCs that you can talk to

04:32

they have dialogue and they're plotting

04:34

something now the actual storyline of

04:36

what's going on um with this season it

04:39

looks like Zeus is not the good guy for

04:42

us he he does not like us Mortals and he

04:45

wants to inflict his wrath upon us and

04:47

some of the Gods and Demi gods are

04:49

trying to stop him or calm him down

04:51

point is this season we're actually

04:53

going to get some story development and

04:55

it could lead into a live event at the

04:57

end of the season yes fortnite is

04:59

cooking we might actually get a live

05:01

event that's not just the end of chapter

05:03

event so at the end of the season Zeus

05:04

is going to have some sort of hourglass

05:06

that's supposed to end humanity and we

05:08

have to try to destroy it before time

05:10

runs out and there's going to be some

05:12

quests associated with that but this

05:14

would be a good opportunity now to to

05:16

give us an actual season event because

05:18

we haven't had a season event in a very

05:20

long time as far as new weapons we have

05:22

a new SMG a new assault rifle and a

05:25

brand new DMR and I will say this the

05:27

new SMG kind of is very similar to the

05:30

hyper SMG but even though this one says

05:32

it has the same amount of Bloom it could

05:34

be a reskin of the hyper same thing with

05:36

the assault rifle but the DMR is not a

05:39

reskin the DMR is actually a new take on

05:41

the DMR and I'm going to make a

05:44

prediction that the DMR will actually be

05:46

useful this season and I'll tell you why

05:48

the DMR was a projectile based weapon

05:52

and it existed when there was hit scan

05:53

weapons in the game like the red eyee um

05:56

and the twin mag AR we do not have hit

05:58

scan weapons in fortnite anymore besides

06:00

shotguns so now the DMR is on kind of

06:02

like an even playing field also the

06:05

stats of this DMR are kind of insane

06:07

over 100 head shot damage and up to 60

06:11

body shot damage this DMR is one of the

06:13

hardest hitting dmrs they've ever added

06:14

and I guess it's going to be the first

06:16

time the DMR actually is either meta or

06:18

very useful there's also a new version

06:20

of the drum gun I'm not sure if it's

06:22

going to be immediately available or if

06:23

it's just for Creative but with Midas

06:25

being on the map and being you know an

06:27

actual key figure in the story we might

06:29

be getting the Mythic minus drum gun to

06:32

return this season and last but not

06:33

least a brand new shotgun the gatekeeper

06:36

shotgun so it has a fire rate of 1.7

06:38

making it shoot a little bit faster than

06:40

the OG Tac but only has three bullets

06:42

before you have to reload the Mythic

06:44

version does 46 headshot damage but like

06:47

I said it shoots pretty fast so this

06:50

gun's going to be really good to put one

06:52

opponent down extremely quick I actually

06:54

see this being uh potentially the best

06:56

shotgun in the game this season there's

06:58

a lot of Vault Ed things like the vaed

07:01

riot shield and uh the grappler blade

07:03

but we're also seeing the return of

07:04

impulse nades and potentially uh an

07:07

addition to a mini Junior version of the

07:11

bubble Shield called Shield bubble junr

07:14

this will be probably coming sometime of

07:15

the season and will be pretty useful in

07:17

zero build one last thing we do have a

07:19

return of ltms specifically one LTM

07:22

Midas is going to have a floor is lava

07:25

but the lava is actually going to be

07:26

gold this LTM will come out sometime

07:28

this season and it's going to tie with

07:30

midas's return to the story and game

07:33

pretty excited for that we haven't had

07:34

an actual good LTM in a very long time

07:36

let alone any ltms in a very long time

07:38

so it looks like epic is kind of going

07:40

back to their Roots uh thank you guys so

07:42

much for watching like I said by the

07:44

time you're watching this you're

07:45

probably still going to have to wait a

07:46

few more hours before the season goes

07:48

live I've never seen a delay like this

07:49

before but I think it will be worth the

07:51

wait the season looks promising and be

07:53

sure to subscribe because I am going to

07:55

be posting uh my main Channel video you

07:57

know checking out the new update later

07:59
