4:57 currently the heavy attack is bugged and seems to not grant bonus damage to teammates, only the user. Hoping it gets fixed soon!

Is Epic aware of this bug and can you or beast let us know when/if it get fixed?

I will let you know when it's fixed.

storm king’s ravager is such a good melee they stole most of its traits for the storm king’s thunderclap blade in lego fortnite

I would play save the world its just that the im probably dead mission in plankerton is so annoying to beat :(

ton of thumbnail comments, but it truly is like a sleeker version of your typical thumbails, kinda like a premium version lol.

[@JustTheCatxD]

For guns like the dam buster and the rest of their set, the knockback "perk" is called impact, it's listed at the bottom of the guns stats

[@JustTheCatxD]

And if said impact is used on traps like tires, and the launchers or weapons, rpgs in certain, the higher the knockback amount the further mobs fly.

[@darianmoorhead7057]

Youve helped mr through a lot of stw(not going slow through it) Im subbing after this(i dont like trying to do the testing and your channel is really helpful) Also for the farming loadout idk if youre using supply drops but they give traps and other items i believe(could be wrong)

[@nonames-c7p]

RIP De-Atomizer 9000 You will be missed

[@stormgod519]

Never been a fan of calling anything in this game “the best” because often it gives this game’s players the wrong idea, but you did a lot in the disclaimers in regards to that. These weapons are all great. I think the only one that wouldn’t make it up there for me was the floor flusher, but I think everything else is def amazing. Floor flusher gets held back by a huge lack of crowd clearing. I like how most of the weapon system is balanced now, tho there’s still a few near the bottom that need a boost, as well as some broken ones that need to get fixed. Also THANK YOU for putting the shotguns above the bows lol. It doesn’t really matter but I appreciate it

[@BearWith_You]

Thats why you have 3 weapons in slots. I bring my Floor Flusher for pissants, my Nocturno for mist monsters and my discharger for crowd clear. And sometimes I will replace Nocturno or Discharger for the Potshot

[@stormgod519]

@ yeah, I know… my point stands tho

[@QU3STI0NMARK]

I made sure not to get the prismatic discharger as I thought I may get too reliant on it and get rid of a reason to try new builds

[@BearWith_You]

@xMistaBeastxGames Haha yeah definitely. I also don't really run the really high PL zones all that much. Only the 140s if there's Vbucks in there so I usually just main the Drum Gun or Revolt. Whatever sounds fun but lately been not needing a weapon anymore thanks to Snowstrike, shes so insane I main my pickaxe now in low PL

Beast not mentioning the blastron mini in best weapons video😭😭 this would have never happened with old beast😂

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

It's a solid pick

[@mattthevisionary]

Im VERY surprised you didn't mention the Hydra HIGH DAMAGE assault rifle. Literally takes less than 3-6. Its unique and higher damage because it uses shotgun shells and only takes 3-6 shots depending on critical for the fat husks in a 160

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

It's a quirky weapon. Definitely strong in a loadout like this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYuVYqVpqsl8Zq8

[@mattthevisionary]

​@@xMistaBeastxGames ok thanks! Its mostly better for lower levels i can attest to that and helps save ammo and spamming or spraying ammo. I love this video and you inspire me to be even more creative with my load outs. I have an overpowered plasmatic discharger build that uses extraterrestrial Rio as main and the 60% bonus energy damage ACTUALLY takes shiz out on 160 missions and especially combines with cyberclops for energy spread similar to the vacuum tube bow but all energy damage. Its insane man you should try it. So easy and fun.

[@WhoTookArtemix]

What's causing affliction to be so goon on melees? Is there a specific increase to affliction on melees compared to ranged weapons or is it just that melees generally hit more enemies at once => more afflicted targets. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the UK, I hope you had a great 2024

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

Yes affliction does significantly more on a melee than a ranged weapon!

[@SonyUSA]

Thank you for including Nocturno! Still mad they took all our founder dollars and abandoned the game and used them to make Battle Royale 😭

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

Well... no. There's always been a full time dedicated STW team. BR made more dollars than founders ever spent so they have more going on.

[@SonyUSA]

@@xMistaBeastxGames I was there from the start, the first couple acts were amazing, then it just dumped you into a lifeless map with only the arbitrary objectives to complete. It took them year(s) to add another lackluster chapter that didn't have anywhere near the same energy and didn't bother fixing tons of longstanding bugs including item duping. This was right when BR came out and it was completely abandoned, regardless of any "dedicated" team, they used OUR dollars to pay for BR dev and get BR off the ground so it could become their cash cow.

[@iscore9998]

7000 hours sounded so gross and I got curious so went to check mine… coming close to 9000 hours and I only return (for the last couple of years at least) for frostnite! Great watch though, I used to love getting on back in the day to run with my friends and use ‘non meta’ weapons, some of the most fun you can have is with the whackiest stuff 😂

[@HexCemetery]

is the thrasher better than the founders quickshot?

[@stormgod519]

It depends. Quickshot has technically more dos because of its 6th perk, but it’s mainly due to the fire rate boost so it’s using more ammo. Also it can’t have affliction. So infer from that what you will

[@Gutless-diesel]

Vacuum tube shotgun ? It’s insane

(Even if it took a while 😅)

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

I've never liked that thing. Completely dependent on crits for any meaningful damage, 1 shot then reload is brutal. The thing is like firing a slot machine

@@xMistaBeastxGames fair judgement

[@Cook1e33]

Plasmatic working based on the hitbox the bigger the hitbox the better the damage

[@xMistaBeastxGames]

Not entirely accurate

[@diothecreative86]

Do a best no loadout videos. Sometimes I would like to use a weapon in case of an emergency, using a discharger all the time is kinda expensive. Example would be what weapons I can use on a engineer load out that doesn't buff weapons. Or an outlander that may be for farming but I need a good weapon that is not expensive to use like the discharger that do not require a loadout to be good.

[@BearWith_You]

Recommend some of the lower weapons on the list. Floor Flusher is a great pair with my TEDDY. A lot of the top positions besides Discharger and Potshot are being boosted by the loadouts
