ironic how a Car version of the Proximity Grenade Launcher is arguably one of the best explosives ever now imo. Always loved it though, vivid memories of playing Creative with Insta Reload and spraying it on people.
Thing is though, the grenade is faster, has longer range, explodes nearly on impact, and has a larger blast radius. It's just a grenade launcher, not proximity.
I hinestly loved the proximity mine so much. just throw 5 or so of them on the inside of the dooreframe of a bunker and you have yourself a garanteed kill some time in the match. the item is bad sure, but the fact that whenever you see them u can instantly use them and dont even have to waste an inverntory slot, makes them usefull in my opinion.
Grenades: it fixed nade stacking but the grenade without nade stacking was already so hard to use, if it subtracted time when hitting the wall/floor only after the first time (kinda like the Grenade Launcher rn but nerfed) with 60-75 damage it would be so much better and nade stacking wouldnt be an issue, increasing the time to explode would also help a bit Bottle Rockets: nice concept but bad implication, i saw this as a rush utility where you can force a player to hide behind cover while you rush safely or a pressure tool in general but it was slow and the radius was too small where you can just rotate sideways to avoid it, if it locked onto a player (in a box or not) it would help a lot more, the damage could do work too Big Chill: agree, should do damage to player though shouldnt to the user as it should also be a rotation item Guided Missile: hasnt been back in ages but it should just get a speed, turn and massive damage buff (currently 74/77 💀), would basically make it a heavier rocket launcher as it’ll always be harder to hit since you gotta control it Edit: forgot to continue it Recycler: doesnt even recycle player build builds and is extremely slow, when doing a custom balance i had to buff it a LOT which says something.. Proximity Grenade Launcher: the bad part is it only explodes nearby as u said should explode in general no matter how much builds is between them and yes should be faster grenade travel so it’s good long ranged compared to the Rocket Launcher Proximity Mine: basically weird C4, no clue how to balance other than what i said about the Proximity Grenade Launcher
More people play ZB than build (even before resurgence 50% of the time) so they could totally add back the guided missile, boost its movement speed and it’d be aight for this season.
Proxitmity launcher in BR: noooo pls i have such a low fire rate plsssss 😢 Proxitmity launcher in STW: I deal double damage sometimes, and am the best option to beat anything that isn’t a smasher 🗿
The proximity mine isn't the best, despite doing 50 damage, tracking the enemy, and dealing damage through walls. However, it's still a fun item to use in creative modes. It pairs well with the Snowman. Back in Ch2 of Red vs Blue, I used to make a spawn trap for when enemies used the launch pad. I would make a box with one proximity mine in the middle and two snowballs next to it. That setup dealt about 210 damage in total, so it was quite effective. Does the Snowman's snowball count as an explosive?
explosives (along with snipers) have been THE most nerfed weapon class in Fortnite. As he touches on, the launcher item projectiles have gotten so slow over the years and power crept by increasingly quick movement options.
Proximity Grenade Launcher is unironically one of my favorite weapons to date. Granted its kinda... meh. It's better in Zero Build for sure. Not related in the slightest but my friends and I have a little 1v1 Kit-based arena type of creative map, and the Proximity launcher is just way too good on its own, being able to use pre-fixed terrain and chip away around corners while no other kit can is an absurd strength to get over.
you cant do piece controll with it due to the long animation thoug. i absoloutely love the weapon, but it is honestly really bad in nower days. it is super easy to counter, you are extremly vournarable and the animation makes it useless for anything that is within 50m range.
prox mines were super good if you used them like fresh did, if you stack them on someones builds it will hit them as soon as the wall is broken and will mark them too. def way better than anything else on this list
One thing a lot of people don’t mention (or know) about the big chill is that it goes through walls. Yes, the grenade doesn’t, but the icy effect does. This makes it insanely good in a build fight since you can freeze your opponent with ease. ruclips.net/video/N0ADIQ6-isw/видео.htmlsi=knCJdQVc5KHYwb1h Here’s the proof
How is the big chill bad because it doesn't do any damage? The shockwave launcher and the icy grappler aren't considered bad, so I don't understand the logic.
Ice feet is a disadvantage, only reason people like the icy grappler was because of chapter 5 season 1 where the loot pool was so dry and boring and the glitch with the ice
so i'm a new player to this game, love your videos since i love learning about fortnites history and regretting i didn't play sooner, but wouldn't proximity mines be very good when you first land and start looting? nothing to hold onto but the ability to have them watch your back and then if they're in a position to, chase down and finish them while marked seems valuable. Not a great weapon, not something you carry to end game, but it feels valuable enough that it shouldn't be on a worst of all time list. Again I started playing last season I have very little experience, that's just my read.
I wish i could play fortnite in 2017 again :( id even be okay with being as bad at the game as i was back then. I remember back then when a new season dropped itd take days or weeks to get that victory umbrella. Everybody sucked and it was hilarious
Is the proximity grenade is bad remote explosive is usseles. You ACTUALLY need to camp by it to use it properly. The prox. gren. atleast is useful on a POI scale like you throw it down and loot up and if someone triggers it you can immedietly go fight them.
I dont understand his point of ‘the big chill is bad cause it does no damage’ kits shockwave launcher is an grenade launcher that does no damage it must be horrible as well
As a guided missile lover (my favorite weapon ever) I am deeply disappointed, other than that, I’m still a subscriber because every other video is top tier.
He should rank the worst nerfs to any weapons
Good idea
ill go first, brutes, nerfed so hard they blew up on match start
Great idea tbh ❤
Pump would be the top
@@AFGgamerdogs nah, mechs were nerfed so hard they literaly exploded when the landed in season x

Grenade turrent it inf ammo and 7 consecutive shots
For a best explosives list, I better see Cluster Clingers, istg imo they were so annoying and good
4:38 rocket jumpscare
As a guided missile launcher fan, I am deeply disappointed, good list though
Same
Double pump with the prox gernade launcher goes crazy
Agree

Weapons/Items that were nerfed into the ground?
Proxitmity launcher in BR:

i know this man did NOT just put THE GUIDED MISSLE AS ONE OF THE WORST EXPLOSIVES

3:52 not to mention & if i remember right, you can shoot at the missile to stop it.
Have not watched the video yet but the proximity grenade launcher is one of my favorites, undeserved
Calling the guided missile a bad explosive is crazyyyyy
Especially because you can just cancel the rocket to use it as a normal launcher
you cant do piece controll with it due to the long animation thoug. i absoloutely love the weapon, but it is honestly really bad in nower days. it is super easy to counter, you are extremly vournarable and the animation makes it useless for anything that is within 50m range.
I remember that people thought the Proximity Grenade Launcher was, like, the most broken thing in the game, back in season x. How times change man.
i feel like even in x ppl were shitting on it
Grenades were nerfed down to 40 damage because of Ranked and Ranked alone
prox mines were super good if you used them like fresh did, if you stack them on someones builds it will hit them as soon as the wall is broken and will mark them too. def way better than anything else on this list
i think you should make a video about like ranking heals or talking about the like worst heals but it would probably be simple
Irony... the Proximity Launcher in Save the World, known as The Potshot, is one of the most powerful launchers in the game that use rocket ammo.
putting the proximity on here is crazy
Bro, buffed the proximity nade launcher and it would fit perfectly in this season, maybe even in reload

Ya I mentioned that

The prox mines had a hidden tech where you could launch them w your pickaxe to do damage to builds or hit a boxed player
I think maybe remaking the guided missile as a car killer would be really good
Or a zero build exclusive.
This ^
@@tyluhfryzgaming Thank you. 😊

Grenade nerf was way too brutal. Maybe 70HP, so it can 3-tap full shields. 40 is a joke.
The proximity mine is so good if you put it near a vault it would instantly kill them and you could get the mythic
Proximity Mine looks good, though I never used it against players
Greg is BACK he would like a tangerine 🍊
This is Greg➡️🐊
Love your content keep it up👍
ok, the proximity launcher i literally never use it as a midrange or longrange weapon, use it as a shotgun. trust me lol.
I wish i could play fortnite in 2017 again :( id even be okay with being as bad at the game as i was back then. I remember back then when a new season dropped itd take days or weeks to get that victory umbrella. Everybody sucked and it was hilarious
I have an idea for bro rankings pistols 😂
The best thing about the proxy grenade launcher is that you can still double pump it
Is the proximity grenade is bad remote explosive is usseles. You ACTUALLY need to camp by it to use it properly. The prox. gren. atleast is useful on a POI scale like you throw it down and loot up and if someone triggers it you can immedietly go fight them.
Wish they were more explosives now a days since its fun because you can destroy walls and stuff
If i am not wrong they nerfed grenades because of the damage that they did to builds same thing that happend to the heavy sniper
They brought back 100 dmg to grenades in the og season but idk if it's still 100
You should make a video of the best unnamed poi's. Like hydro from chap 2
good idea
Chapter 3 season 1 grenade launcher was a nightmare
I was thinking about this actually
proximity was very good in og, not sure about when it launched
Can you make a video on some of the best mid season updates
I dont understand his point of ‘the big chill is bad cause it does no damage’ kits shockwave launcher is an grenade launcher that does no damage it must be horrible as well
THE EGG LAUNCHER POV:
A good one is the sticky granade launcher from chapter 4
Guided Missile would be better to get info than killing someone
ya no saying the prox grenade one of the worst is so gas. The grenade explodes 10 seconds after being launched
10k special when?
On the other hand The Sticky Grenade Launcher is easily the best
4:37 💀
Pov you like one of the items on the list 😅
Guided missile was fun and should be in at least get creative
Proximity launcher was good for people with no aim
Boom 💥
As a guided missile lover (my favorite weapon ever) I am deeply disappointed, other than that, I’m still a subscriber because every other video is top tier.

Thanks c:
nah not taking potshot slander
double pump it close range and its over
