AFK with yours truly

1:15

Ninja. Today, we're diving

1:18

headfirst into the whirlwind of excitement

1:20

surrounding the launch of

1:22

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. Get

1:26

ready for an epic adventure as we

1:28

unpack all the juicy details and get

1:30

hyped for what's to come. From leaks

1:32

to expectations. We're leaving no stone unturneth.

1:36

So let's hop right in. All

1:51

right, so let's get these started. What

1:54

is my first impression of the Greek

1:56

mythology theme for Season 5 Chapter

1:58

2? I

2:00

think it's pretty simple and pretty easy to

2:02

understand that I'm a big fan of the

2:04

week of mythology Out of all

2:06

the things that they do a lot of times like

2:09

for night in general over the last couple of chapters

2:12

and over God knows how many seasons There's

2:15

times where they do you know

2:17

licensing seasons and there's times where they kind of

2:20

do stuff That's fair game, right? They know no

2:22

no one owns the rights to Greek mythology. It's

2:24

literally it's just been an existence for you know

2:26

God knows how long and It's

2:29

I think it's I think it's really great. I think it's really

2:31

super cool They can get they get to put

2:33

their own spin on it. They get to be as

2:35

creative as they want And and honestly,

2:37

obviously they can they can do whatever they want with

2:39

the storyline as well. I think they're already they're already

2:41

actually Intertwining like for

2:44

night and Greek mythology and we

2:46

have like quests and missions and

2:48

stuff better like basically a storyline

2:50

I The

2:58

map already in the two areas I think I'll

3:00

talk about this more later on in this episode

3:02

but Like the map

3:04

is great. I really do like the new spots and

3:07

yeah again like the skins are already super dope

3:09

I've seen a lot of the variants coming out

3:11

too. So they've done a great job. It's honestly

3:13

so far as well one

3:15

of my favorite battle passes Also

3:19

very cool skins to get new unlockables and

3:21

like great emotes and stuff like that So

3:24

I feel like epic just keeps stepping up their battle pass

3:26

game, which is always great. So

3:29

Yeah, huge shout out to epic. Keep it up guys. And if

3:31

you guys are gonna purchase a battle pass don't forget to use

3:33

code ninja Of

3:38

course But what

3:40

are my thoughts and takeaways Favorite and

3:42

least favorite part of season 5 chapter 1

3:45

and this is chapter 2 Hmm.

3:48

I'll answer this question the way that my my

3:50

guys were my kind of guys wrote it So

3:52

my thoughts take away his favorite and least everything

3:54

of chapter 1 so the previous season before this

3:57

I mean, I loved it. I even said this before

3:59

I was like this is one of my favorite seasons even

4:02

though it was like so for those of you who

4:04

don't know For that has had five

4:06

chapters each chapter is basically, you know has multiple seasons

4:08

in it and each chapter

4:10

in for night the season one

4:13

is usually like I mean

4:15

to put it bluntly is usually the most

4:17

boring season and What I mean

4:20

by that is basically like they'll give you

4:22

the least amount of Stuff

4:24

to work with and kind of just but it kind

4:26

of like sets the tone right for

4:28

the season So how epic has always worked

4:31

with their chapters is it always ramps up?

4:34

Right. It always ramps up. So never

4:36

they'll never have a boring chapter I'm

4:38

sorry a boring season like

4:40

past the first one. It's always

4:43

going to be more There's always going to be

4:45

more items more movement more this more that more

4:48

Cracticness more craziness it always ramps

4:50

up and it's smart. It's kind of

4:52

literally by the way It's kind of how about our way out literally

4:54

works like the crescendo Of

4:57

each single match that you cue into

5:00

is at the end, right? Like

5:02

when that that final final couple of players

5:04

this the circles smaller It's intense anything can

5:06

happen and you finally get that win that

5:09

feeling is incredible and the kind of what

5:11

epic does With their chapters

5:13

right season one is usually very very

5:15

bland. They're laying up the groundwork, right?

5:18

They're introducing a new sandbox of like weapons and items and

5:21

things like that to see to get a feel for how

5:23

they you know What they're

5:25

doing and how they work so chapter

5:28

5 Crazy

5:31

chapter one was uh In

5:34

my opinion my favorite out of

5:36

a lot of out of a lot of new chapters. This

5:38

one was my favorite because The

5:41

new the weapons were were interesting and new and

5:43

I liked that I liked the modification of the

5:46

weapons as well I thought that that was very

5:48

cool as well and that added a lot of

5:50

variety. I liked the map I

5:52

loved the coins like I really do feel like

5:54

they did a great job with for

5:56

a season one They

5:59

knocked out of the park That's my opinion of

6:03

chapter five season one. Killed it,

6:06

led into a great season two. Here we are

6:08

already popping off with all these new amazing items

6:10

and I'm a huge fan. There's so many people

6:13

trolling on TikTok saying that like it's crazy how

6:15

often I get clickbaited and I feel like it's

6:17

happening more often than not where like people are

6:19

like literally putting words in my mouth. I'm

6:22

in love, in love

6:24

with this new season. Like

6:27

it's amazing and obviously I'm

6:29

still learning and I'm still getting better but

6:32

I love it. So there's people

6:34

that are literally like taking clips

6:36

crazily out of context saying

6:38

that like I don't like the new season. That's just

6:41

not true. It's incredible.

6:43

My least favorite thing of the first season

6:47

of this chapter, so the one that

6:49

we just came from, was probably I

6:51

mean probably just the shotgun. The

6:53

shotguns like I didn't like in I'm a zero build

6:55

player now. These

6:58

old hands ain't what you're being in

7:00

your game. And

7:02

building is just it's just it's crazy. I don't have the ping for

7:04

it and I also just don't

7:06

have the time to stay at a high level and

7:08

compete at a high level in a build mode even

7:10

if I'm not playing ranked. But the shotguns that they

7:13

added for zero build right it's either the frenzy auto

7:15

shotty or the hammer pump, the hammer shotgun and the

7:17

hammer shotgun is dog water in zero build because you're

7:19

out in the open and it's basically

7:21

one shot and you're done. Whereas the frenzy auto is just

7:23

like the drum shotgun. It's one of those broken shotguns of

7:25

the game. So that was hands down I least favorite thing

7:27

about about the very first season. And

7:29

it's unfortunate that they kept both of the

7:31

exact same shotguns are still in this one.

7:33

However, they did finally add a new shotgun,

7:36

the gatekeeper shotgun and that actually is

7:38

better to run right now in my

7:40

opinion than the frenzy auto shotgun. If

7:42

you are like a really talented gamer,

7:45

it has three bullets and

7:47

it can it pretty much guarantees that you're you're

7:50

going to eliminate a player even if even full

7:52

shields full over shield like each shot does roughly

7:54

around 80 to 100 damage. And if you hit

7:56

if you hit three shots, you're doing 260. Any

7:59

over 240 to 260. If you have you know,

8:01

it's it's it's super strong very good gun early game

8:03

as well Yeah, my least third

8:05

part of the very first season was the shotguns. I

8:07

just didn't like them in zero build I thought you

8:09

could only run one and the one that you could

8:11

run is like really cringe and super easy to use

8:13

So am I excited about

8:15

the potential collabs with persona and

8:18

God of War? Oh, I mean you're

8:20

just getting anyone who's played I

8:23

mentioned this my stream the other day You

8:25

just get massive gods of God of War

8:27

vibes like as you're running around

8:29

there's Hades Zeus Right, like literally God of War

8:31

is all about Greek mythology and Kratos just you

8:33

know Slaughtering all the gods

8:36

Demi or not. It's yeah, it's really exciting.

8:39

I love God of War I always have this

8:41

really funny story. Like I'm just I'm just

8:43

not naturally gifted at video games And

8:46

like when I was little for example when I was

8:48

little and there wasn't a joke I'm not trying to

8:51

I'm literally gonna gas myself up here when I was

8:53

a kid I remember I was not

8:55

allowed to play splinter cell or Metal

8:57

gear solid or any or any of

9:00

the metal gears with snake and all those guys Because

9:02

it was just too like gruesome. Whatever. I don't know why

9:04

but you know,

9:06

I watched my dad play My dad was playing and my dad was

9:09

on this boss fight for like an hour

9:12

And obviously again, I couldn't play the game. So I'm sitting

9:14

here watching. I Haven't haven't played

9:16

a game before it not once my entire life But

9:19

I've watched the fight so much I'd like all

9:21

fights have like moves right boss does this boss

9:23

does that then the boss does this and the

9:25

boss does that Boss gets to this percent health

9:28

and he does this right like it just has like a

9:30

script that it follows And I and just from watching I

9:32

figured it out and then I asked my dad I was

9:34

like dad can I try to get

9:36

you out of this fight and he goes sure son I'll

9:38

give you one shot and I beat it the first time

9:40

I got first time beat the boss I've

9:43

done that as well in a God of War game

9:46

my buddy my best friend Anthony was Struggling

9:49

on I want to say it was hey Service,

9:53

I think it was like one of the last bosses Met

9:55

of its service might even been Zeus. I don't even know I

9:57

remember I watched him play it for two hours while I was Playing next

9:59

to him Like a different game and I was like, yeah, let me try

10:02

and I literally be the first try So like

10:05

I love God of War I got massive God

10:07

of War vibes as you're just

10:09

running throughout the map and you know, obviously

10:11

with all the Greek mythology So it's really

10:13

sick. I'm super pumped and super looking forward

10:16

to the potential God of War collabs I

10:18

also heard that there was supposed to be

10:20

some Final Fantasy 7 rebirth collabs allegedly and

10:24

Obviously for those who don't know I mean I'm

10:26

the biggest tip of the world for Final Fantasy 7

10:28

content and the new rebirth game came out and it's

10:30

out of this world So I'm

10:33

12:30

We will be sure. Which

12:40

Greek god or mythological figure are you

12:42

most looking forward to seeing in the game?

12:45

I loved Hercules growing

12:47

up, so I'm hoping they do something, they

12:49

do some cool mini game with Hercules to

12:51

get his fist or something like that. I

12:53

don't know, he didn't mean his strength somehow,

12:55

I don't know how they would

12:57

do it in the game. But I think they'd be pretty cool. Do

13:00

you think the introduction of flying abilities will

13:02

change the gameplay significantly? I've

13:05

been asked this question a lot, my streamers and

13:07

viewers always want to know what's the best mobility

13:10

for a new season, for a new chapter. And

13:13

unfortunately, this new

13:15

movement, I explain

13:17

it like this, this new movement is the best

13:19

movement in the game if there's no one around.

13:22

So the ability to fly is one of

13:25

the greatest abilities in Fortnite that they

13:27

added. However, your hitbox becomes like three times

13:29

as big against good players, like competitively and

13:31

at a high level, you're

13:34

going to be struggling to

13:36

make it out of certain situations alive. If you

13:39

can get in the air and then start dodging left

13:41

and right, that might be the play and you might

13:43

be able to get away with stuff, but all

13:46

in all, it's very high

13:48

risk, high reward. Again, if

13:50

there's no one around you, it's going to be an

13:52

incredible way to rotate. And I think people are going

13:55

to perfect it. Like, I

13:57

imagine the higher up you are is the worst. is

14:00

if you use the ability

14:02

and fly around super low to the ground, if

14:05

people start shooting your wings, like you'll immediately

14:07

be able to build and run away and

14:09

like get cover. So I actually think that

14:12

people perfect how to fly. Um,

14:14

but as of right now, it is like, it's,

14:16

you know, you're pretty vulnerable. Am

14:19

I planning to hunt down the golden

14:22

apple for that speed boost? So

14:26

I will say this short

14:28

answer. Absolutely. Short

14:30

answer. Absolutely. Give me that. Give me that.

14:33

The long answer. So

14:36

if you get Zeus's, uh, it's like Zeus or

14:38

the other one, I don't remember which one. If

14:40

you get one of the Olympic Olympian, uh, coins,

14:42

you jump higher and you sprint

14:45

faster, which incredibly

14:47

depletes your bar, your, your, your

14:49

stamina bar, actually like

14:51

most of the, most of the time from what I've

14:53

seen leaving you more vulnerable than not just

14:56

thinking about, uh, you know,

14:58

the speed boost and any speed boost in four night, right? The

15:00

question is, is there, is there more, does

15:02

it benefit you more than it hurts you? And right now like

15:05

that coin in zero build, you

15:08

know, your stamina is everything in zero build. Very important to

15:10

make sure that you don't, you're not just depleted in the

15:12

worst spots cause you can't

15:14

build to protect yourself in certain

15:17

situations. So truly not sure if it's going

15:19

to be something that I'm going to be going for all the time. What

15:21

do you think of Cerberus wielding a three headed

15:23

shotgun epic or not? Dude, give me that. Give

15:25

me that bro. Um, I

15:27

really do feel like they could go above and beyond

15:30

with weapons skins in this game. I would actually like

15:32

to see four night go, uh, like,

15:34

like over and above and beyond

15:37

these, like these types of weapons. Right.

15:39

When you, when you get Zeus's rifle,

15:41

uh, the huntress rifle, and when you

15:43

get the server shotgun, like, why

15:45

are we not, right? Why are we

15:48

not customizing these guns? Right? Why are these guns

15:50

just going to be these epic guns and that's

15:52

it, right? Like we're going to stop at

15:54

them just being like, Oh, Hey, I got a mythic. Oh,

15:56

we're not going to change the way it looks. We're not going to

15:58

deck it out. Maybe even give it different. animations like in

16:00

Valorant for those you guys who don't know

16:02

Valorant Really took

16:05

skins Done skins to

16:07

a whole other level so counter strike is

16:09

where you know if everyone knows the case

16:11

openings Counter-strike skins like the level of the

16:14

skins like and the the

16:16

clarity of the skins can be like, you know different

16:18

every single Time you open one But

16:20

Valorant added like literal like Dragon

16:23

animations. I remember the craziest one they ever

16:25

they did a dragon bundle where you could

16:28

you know The shotgun when it reloaded breathe

16:30

fire and bullets and it looks different and

16:32

like you were literally shooting out of a dragon's mouth With the

16:35

vandal one of the one of my still to this day

16:37

one of my favorite skins in Valorant like I would love

16:39

to see I pick really start

16:41

like putting the foot in the

16:43

you know the foot on the pedal here

16:46

with creativity and Skin

16:48

customization. I really think they're

16:50

missing out. Actually, they're like, you know, they continue

16:53

to roll out like

16:55

new things that are cool

16:58

But I did if they're I guess they don't really need

17:00

the money to Like if they were

17:02

like struggling I'd be like dude, they should be taking advantage of

17:04

this But it's actually like it's just not their goal anymore Am

17:07

I ready to wield the fiery chain and whip

17:09

and the whip of Hades the whip of the

17:11

Hades mythic weapon? So if you guys fight Hades,

17:13

this is another great thing that epic does I

17:16

can never you know, I can

17:18

never gas them up enough Another

17:20

really cool thing that epic did is they've changed like

17:22

the way that the bat the boss sites are So

17:24

it's like the little things right? So it's not it's not

17:27

as cut and dry as oh you find the boss you

17:29

you fight Um now you like you have to find their

17:32

Find where their homes are or like, you know where their

17:34

relics are and you have to like challenge them by you

17:37

know Throwing their their relic or

17:40

their statue of themselves like on the ground and it

17:42

like starts this duel and you have to destroy

17:45

It's like it's like a little mini horde fight in

17:47

order to unlock fighting the boss and I love that

17:49

Right another little thing that changes, you know, just puts

17:52

a little twist and makes a little different And

17:54

I just like the way it feels in game. It's

17:56

it's a lot more fun than just challenging the best

17:58

right up So I love that

18:00

they've done that but if you fight Hades, he

18:02

has this whip it It literally looks very it's

18:05

very thrash like if you guys don't know League

18:07

of Legends You know one of

18:09

the support players in the game or support characters Champions

18:13

his name is thrash and he has this lantern and he

18:15

throws it and like hooks people It's

18:17

super dope So

18:19

yes, I'm very ready to wield the fiery chain and

18:21

with the Hades mythic weapon I think it's

18:24

gonna be a lot more fun and rewarding and

18:26

build mode as you can probably I imagine it'll

18:28

break through a wall And a ramp

18:30

to get to the player It'll

18:32

be it'll be cool to rock that and zero build as

18:34

well if it does come out Which

18:37

speaking of boss fights which mythic boss fight at

18:39

my most eager to experience is use Medusa Aries

18:41

or service. So They're

18:43

all pretty dope. I'm gonna have to go with Medusa

18:48

because right now Zeus like Zeus is average like,

18:50

you know Zeus and Hades on and service Those

18:52

are interesting fights, but like I'm ready for it

18:54

to get a little bit more creative Which

18:57

potential skins from Greek mythology are you most

18:59

excited to unlock? Probably

19:04

Probably just all of them like that

19:06

at the end of the day I like I picked does a

19:08

great job with the battle path skins and

19:10

like the final the final Unlockable is

19:12

always just a really really cool style

19:15

So definitely just excited to unlock all of

19:18

them, which will obviously be towards the end of

19:20

the season And they can't

19:22

give you everything at once. It's classic epic. Do

19:24

you have any rituals? superstitions

19:27

for new for night seasons Just

19:30

32 years old everyone So my

19:32

ritual is trying to get a good night's sleep so

19:34

that I can be ready for anything You

19:37

know for any prolonged downtime or you know

19:39

any curve balls that might be thrown Thrown

19:42

my way with any new for night season

19:45

For example, I did get a good sleep leading

19:47

into the new season I also

19:49

haven't been drinking coffee and I've been

19:52

kind of abstaining from caffeine For

19:54

the last couple of weeks to try to reset my to reset

19:57

my my tolerance because I've been

19:59

having You know, it's getting it

20:01

was getting to the point where every time I would drink

20:03

caffeine I would literally yawn it would almost make me more

20:05

tired So my body definitely had just

20:08

way too much of a buildup to it and

20:10

a tolerance to it So I thought

20:12

some great sleep and then leading into

20:15

it the brain a season We ended

20:17

up having like a 12-hour delay the season was delayed

20:19

12 hours That

20:21

is an absolute monstrous amount of time for a

20:23

new season Like almost like I feel like the

20:26

most the seasons ever been delayed is like a

20:28

like an hour or two So

20:30

this yeah, the display was massive But I was

20:32

well rested and I had a cup of caffeine

20:34

a cup of coffee to kind of like, you

20:36

know push me through and I ended up doing

20:38

an 18 hour banger, so I Was

20:42

lit super fun And

20:44

yeah, just being prepared being prepared for anything is

20:46

really important when it comes to new foreign season

20:48

if you're content creator Right you want to be?

20:51

You want to be there to give people what

20:53

they want to see right and like a brain

20:56

a season is a great new way of getting Viewers to your

20:58

channel as well and you know just getting more eyes on you

21:00

because obviously people want to check out what the new season is

21:02

like Follow a question

21:05

which caught of we talked about this am I

21:07

staying up late or waking up early

21:09

to catch the launch? So

21:12

if it's a new chapter If

21:14

it's a new chapter, we're staying up late if it's a new

21:16

chapter You know, we're more

21:18

than likely staying up late if

21:20

it's a new season we're getting up early and And

21:23

sometimes almost not even staying up late I think

21:25

we did one when it was the when it

21:27

was OG for night coming out and that was

21:29

like a no-brainer had to Do that that

21:32

a new chair. It has to be it has to be out of this world

21:35

has to be worth me You

21:37

know, I prioritize my health. It preserves my sleep. I'm sorry.

21:39

I prioritize all that stuff now

21:41

just like setting an alarm for two in the morning or one in the

21:43

morning or something like that to Because

21:45

at the end of the day all does it's

21:47

all about viewership, right? So It's

21:51

like does your ship mean that much to me where

21:53

I'm gonna wake up at 2 in the morning to

21:55

like compete against Like cipher and Nick a 30 and

21:57

all these guys who are gonna be pulling 24 hours

21:59

like streaming like sleeping until in or however

22:01

they do that. Nah,

22:04

man. No shade to

22:06

them but like I'd rather

22:08

sleep. I'd

22:10

rather get my sleep and you know eventually

22:12

they'll go offline or you know the

22:14

people who want to watch me, plan watch me,

22:17

you know. I'll

22:19

be there. But

22:21

again, priorities just shift as you get a

22:23

little older. This

22:43

23:46

did I plan to spend

23:48

the first hours of season

23:53

five chapter? It's

23:59

chapter five. season 2. I

24:02

planned to play with

24:04

Legion early in the morning and then my brother as

24:06

well early in the morning and then I was gonna

24:08

play with Legion Cypher Kirsh. That was the plan. But

24:11

then the season got delayed 16 hours. I did

24:13

an 18 hour stream and I

24:15

ended up still playing with Legion after playing some

24:17

solos and then ended up playing with Jon as

24:20

well. My brother a little bit after

24:22

that for some duos. Had some

24:24

really cool games and hit some really

24:26

sick clips but that is

24:29

not what I anticipated. But it

24:31

was fun and lit nonetheless. Well

24:34

I'll be playing solo duos or squad matches to kick

24:36

off the new season. So obviously I've already been I

24:38

always try to prioritize like solos at the start to

24:40

get an early win really get a feel for the

24:42

weapons and feel for the items. It's a little bit

24:44

more difficult to kind of go super in-depth into the

24:46

items into the map when you're like talking with other

24:48

people and playing like that. So usually

24:51

like first couple of hours I usually go solo but

24:53

then I probably play

24:55

more duos and squads at the beginning of a new season

24:57

than ever because a lot of my friends like it's kind

24:59

of you know sad to say but a lot of my

25:01

friends don't really play at all or

25:04

early in the morning. So but a

25:06

lot of you know Cypher Kirsh all these guys Legion actually

25:08

wake up making a party to get on a little bit

25:10

earlier when it comes to these new

25:13

seasons. So I try to take

25:15

advantage of that into play with some friends.

25:17

Do I have any predictions for or

25:20

predictions or surprises? Predictions

25:22

for surprises or events in the

25:24

new season? I

25:27

have no clue. I don't dive.

25:29

It's interesting question. I

25:31

don't dive into myths

25:34

at all or like rumors and things like that. I

25:36

really do try to just keep it like I hate

25:38

I never tried to like look and find presents when

25:40

I was a kid on Christmas. I never tried to

25:42

I never tried to spoil anything like that. I really

25:44

feel like like I

25:46

want to be surprised. I want to

25:48

be surprised. I don't want to know what's going on. You know

25:51

get it away from me. I don't want to

25:53

I don't want to predict any of that stuff. And

25:56

am I prepared for the potential cast of the new

25:58

meta shifts and weapon adjustments? We're

26:01

already diving in bro. We're already diving in.

26:03

The every weapon, the gatekeeper

26:05

shotgun in my opinion is meta. It's the best shotgun for

26:07

zero build. It's right. It's S tier for

26:09

sure. The warforged assault rifle

26:11

is with an actual proper sight on

26:14

it is easily the best AR in the

26:16

game now. The hunter's DMR

26:18

is a decent replacement for a sniper rifle. I

26:20

actually really enjoy using that too. You know, and

26:23

the harbinger SMG, the new SMG is kind of

26:25

like a buffed up hype SMG, which is what

26:28

was in our last game, always in

26:30

last season. That's also really good. And

26:32

I'm absolutely always ready, dude. You have to move with the meta or

26:34

you're just going to lose a bunch of games and, you know, get

26:36

dumpster on by players who are trying to think they're better than you

26:38

did. You know what I mean? Just rocking, sweating

26:40

it out, rocking the cringe stuff. And it's

26:42

like, can't beat them, join them is a

26:44

kind of, kind of unfortunately

26:46

the meta. But that's fine. Final

26:49

question, guys. What are my hopes and

26:52

dreams for the four night adventures in

26:54

the season two chapter five? Just

26:59

a little bit more, right? A little bit

27:01

more than last season. I already love, I

27:03

already love again, it's a great layout right

27:05

now. I like maybe some

27:07

map changes mid season. I think

27:09

that'd be cool because there's almost no

27:12

reason to go to any other spot on the map.

27:14

If you're like trying to actually explore the map and

27:17

like get a few get like half fun on the new map, there's

27:20

only like four places to land that are really new. And then,

27:22

you know, so I really hope that maybe some new, maybe some

27:24

new map changes to make every

27:26

spot kind of cooler and a little

27:28

bit more themed, right? With a Greek mythology and

27:31

yeah, maybe like just a new weapon, like a

27:34

couple more new weapons throughout the season sprinkled in.

27:36

That's always helpful to keep things

27:38

fresh and to keep

27:41

it, you know, just, just a little bit fresh.

27:43

So that's, that's it.

27:45

That's it. That's all I'm hoping for. All

27:48

right. There you have it folks.
