I'm grateful for your dedication to sharing your knowledge and skills with the community. Your videos have been instrumental in improving my gameplay, and I can't thank you enough for that. Keep up the fantastic work, Jake! Looking forward to your next video.
Before this video, i thought the only way to make shockwaves push u forward was to turn 180 degrees around, stop moving, and then throw it, but this video makes it easy. Thanks!
Unless I got unlucky that time when it happened, I think it's note worthy that shockwaves don't land on the leaves of trees (even if you can stand on the tree yourself) so don't use them to got off of a tall tree.
My first game after the update, I rifted down on the island house right as someone was finishing capturing. Shockwave sent them back to land and I grabbed the mythic & slurp, and padded right down on their head. Dude had to be furious
Glad they're back. Versatile. But not looking forward to playing duos with my son who unthinkingly sends me in the worst possible direction when he uses them. 😅
I don't seem to find them as easily as it was in chapter 3, don't know why. The best chance of getting them i think is opening a temple vault, that usually has like 5 legendary chests so higher chances of grenades
Hey Jake, just wondering what your thoughts are on paddled vs non paddled controllers? Are paddles really needed to get that final mechanical performance? Thanks love your vids bro.
I find them alllll the time lmao. I’ve never used them before this season, and so far I have managed to shockwave myself back into the storm while trying to get out 😂😂. Will deff try out the pit thing later for some practice! Also while I’m here, what are your thoughts on the cloaking gauntlets??
I think they are busted as fuck. I've casually walked into so many firefights with 3+ people and taken down each person completely uncontested because of them. theyve gotten me out of some real shit situations ive found myself in, too. It's a great way to get in close without making yourself a highly visible target in the process.
@@nickbohannon2184 oooh dang that’s nice then. Personally I stay far away from fights cuz I prefer longer range weapons, MK and DMR’s being my fave along with havoc assault ar, so I don’t really have a use for them lol
I would propose to use cars/bikes more: learn the poi where there are cars and rotate. Not because it is harder to use (comparing to katana/odm/webgloves) but just because it is only 3….I see the higher importance of having bunkers always and if you use 3 weapons -> no space for grenades. But if u drag 2 weapons (pump and mk is a good combination even for spraying) than granades OR Optimal’s energy canon can be a good option
Hoping for a loadout or guide for this new update in general. I have been getting rolled since the update despite a 25% win rate in solo ZB before the update. I'll just get pushed with shocks, I get anxiety over what my loadout should be with the tracker, shocks, invis, flare, drummy, havoc (which I still prefer and therefore need an smg), ports, etc. Surely over time I'll find the stuff I would prefer but yeah it's been a lot to take in! Edit: As a tip, you can shockwave up through a building 4 floors max. You'll hit your head on the 5th due to lack of momentum. So 4 stories or less to surprise people or just as an escape you can go inside and shock to the roof.
@@josephmother2659 I just play solo ZB, you haven't won in it yet? It's only 22.1% now. It's hard for me to decide my loadout with the flares and shocks and very common shadow tracker now. I feel like flares aren't necessary but they are so busted.
Is there some trick to getting the super jump effect with sock wave/soaring sprints? I try every time I get soaring springs and it never works for me. :( I'm on xbox if that matters. Is there some trick to it? or do you just throw the shockwave under you and jump? Ive never been able to exploit the soaring/shockwave/repeater move. :(
you have to sprint jump as the shockwave goes off. With soaring sprints when you sprint jump you get that low gravity effect until you hit the ground and you basically just need that effect when the shockwave goes off.

I like how mobility takes skill to use and can be used in multiple ways depending on your strategy. Happy they unvaulted them!
Using them to remove people of cover or propel them off a good position is one of my favorite things to do as it’s just really satisfying for me
I just started playing fortnite again recently and messing w zero build, your videos r so helpful
I missed the shockwaves. I think they’re the most balanced item for mobility.
Absolutely

Your videos are always sooo useful ❤
Well done as always. I appreciate your consistency
Shockwaves grenades are my fav mobility item so fun to use

lmfaooo
yeah, love the update, this is the first time I've played zero builds since i learned to piece control
Was waiting for this thanks
Thank you for this video! I wasn't able to find ant Shockwaves last night.
the spawn rate has been a bit rough
@@EvolveJake is it only in Zero Builds? Bc I literally didn't get 1 out of 14 matches yesterday, not even on the players I eliminated
@@SooSkiTzO_YTyea they are only in zero build
Great tips, I was not playing the last time they were available so this helps a ton 👍🏼
Thank you, Jake! 🙏 I started playing in Chapter 4, so I never used Shockwave grenades before and I'm still learning about it, this helps a lot! 🥳👌
Legend ! Always has all the tips ! Thank you
Glad they're back. Versatile.
But not looking forward to playing duos with my son who unthinkingly sends me in the worst possible direction when he uses them. 😅
Definitely something I need to practice with. At my level I think it will make a big difference.
I love your videos they are helpful for ranked and the duo Victory cup.👍🤩

Same, they’re hard to find, and I feel they’re spawning even less in squads games vs solos
New Subscriber! Love your vids
Thanks glad they're helpful!
Thanks for my daily dose of vids.Tried using them to get enemies away from me..Got elimed..😂😂
Hey Jake, just wondering what your thoughts are on paddled vs non paddled controllers? Are paddles really needed to get that final mechanical performance? Thanks love your vids bro.
Man I miss the game, I’m on a trip and won’t be able to play for a month and of course as soon as I leave my fav mobility item comes back

Also while I’m here, what are your thoughts on the cloaking gauntlets??
I do not think the cloaking gauntlets are very good at all.
@@EvolveJake glad you agree lmao

I am very happy that shockwaves are back in the game for Zero Build. It makes Zero Build more fun now.
Thanks for the help
Hi Jake, who makes your thumbnails? How do you always get the skins to look with a certain expression in their face etc? 😆
I love hearing some ratty players creeping above me and shockwaving up through the floor and coming down with a pump shot to the head💪🏽
i normally slap soaring sprints with my impulse and it just gives me ez rotates
I would propose to use cars/bikes more: learn the poi where there are cars and rotate.

Thanks for the video! 🎉🎉🎉
Nice love your videos
if you have a “loot piggy” on your squad…shockwaves also work great at blasting teammates away from YOUR loot! 😂
I've never seen anyone use them yet. I've tried once 😅 Will probably prioritize other resources.

I will have one in a few days.
@@EvolveJake Nice!
25% win rate wtf I’ve never won

Can you do a movement tutorial

oooohhhhhhh! LOL@@EvolveJake Thanks, man! Keep up the great content. :)
Shockwave Grenades can also knock your opponent off the moral high ground 🤞
Yo Jake, what pc do you have?
4070 ryzen 7 5800x 32gb ram are my pcs specs
@@EvolveJake Holy shit, lit asf. Thanks for the answer and keep it up!
Strangely, i find blue chests by using almost the same routes as last season.
thx
10:12 did this man really try to use emotes to dodge bullets cuz he had no cover!? 🤣🤣
10:18 😂👌
I mean they barely spawn so kinda hard to get any mobility still…
I rarely find shockwaves
Nice Ping 0 in the video 👏👍😅
There‘s no NPC who sells shockwaves isn‘t it?
Use Code: EVOLVEJAKE

1:47 what map is that?

UNVAULT THE REDEYE
whay shackwaves so hard to finD
I was wondering the same. May only ne in Zero Builds
bro i can’t find a single one
10:18 tf was that lol
Wsp
It feels like a waste of an item slot with only 2 uses.
Update i cleared someone off high ground with it by throwing it at them and won the fight when I was down and out.
@@captainmeowzersyou can carry 6 at a time in one slot though. But the spawn rate seems really low compared to chapter 3
@@parkesy82 Hey thanks I have actually found them very useful in endgame and 6 pots are better than 2 forsure.
First
Oh zero builds is where shockwaves are. I just play builds mainly.
Where are the shockwaves? I play everyday and haven't seen them yet
Shockwave bow is sooo good it just has a longer timer
