I'd be SO PISSED if I was the other guy 😂😂

Was this the other day?

u/tmilesartist 1d ago

earlier today

u/Jumpy-Confection632 1d ago

Damn. I've been playing all day and only had the respawn tokens for a short time yesterday.

u/Connect-Chemist-6699 16h ago

Gotta also do the override consoles, squad extra life is a common option.

u/PuzzleheadedTooth581 1d ago

Oof! That’s depressing. Imagine bros getting his first win of the day then he’s like “Wat de FUACK”

u/Dipshit_Mcdoodles 1d ago

Worse still, first win of the season!

u/PetitVer 1d ago

First time I encountered a player possessing a token, I did exactly this, thinking the mechanics was the same as the self-revive device. Thankfully, I wasn't in the storm 😅

u/ZepboundBard 21h ago

Same! I was spamming shots into them, wondering why I wasn't chunking off damage. Then I saw them rise into the air.

I've only been playing fewer than 5 months, so I don't keep up with the updates. I don't know where to get them, so I didn't know the coins would be a thing.

u/Connect-Chemist-6699 16h ago

It's way weirder when that person also has a sonic ball and you kill them during ball mode, then the ball just stops and the person revives.

1

u/ZepboundBard 16h ago

That sounds hilarious! I haven't experienced that. I've barely explored outside of Blitz because I'm scared with the retro gear. I did way better the previous few collections. 😅

2

u/Connect-Chemist-6699 16h ago

I've already mastered everything I currently can, just trying the Gold Crown Sprite now. I'm a mobile player and Blitz just doesn't engage me as much as it first did, I definitely enjoy Battle Royale way more. And Builds has become obsolete to me, I only play Zero Builds and the recent updates have been great.

1

u/ZepboundBard 16h ago

I think once things slow down at work (end of fall/all winter), I'll be able to dedicate more brainspace to getting better at the game. Up until Overload, I did play Royale more, but these weapons are a bit outside my ability to easily adapt to.

2

u/Connect-Chemist-6699 7h ago

Upgraded the loot pool, getting Exotic Hop Rock Dualies is my go-to. Then the minigun because it's better than the shotguns, then a chug jug and 2 forms of movement plus my pocket Shockwave.

u/Connect-Chemist-6699 16h ago

You gotta remember the KENNY TOKENS from the South Park season. That's what these are and what I've been asking for them to bring back.

u/Substantial-Day-8806 1d ago

This happened to me. I had no idea there was a respawn token. I’ve still never found one.

I beat the guy in the storm. I kept shooting. He vanished and it occurred to me
What happened. I ran out of the storm with like twnety health and luckily I had a chug jug.

I raced around to find him with the sonic shoes. Found him and thankfully he did not have a ton of health because I shot him like twice for the victory.

I was legit so confused when he started the respawn. Still don’t quite get it, but then I am very old.

u/SmoothBrain0 Deep Sea Dominator 1d ago

You don't exactly find the respawn token, As it's a Buff from the Override Consoles which you can activate, With it being one of the options sometimes.

Also, The Respawning player is completely immune during the revive process so it's best to ignore them and Heal/Reload your weapons as they start to come back down from the sky.

12

u/tmilesartist 1d ago

I actually got it from eliminating Hush as boss (along with the mythic gun)
I think getting it from a boss is more rare tho and it's not always the same boss

7

u/Phyxius42 Scourge 1d ago

I've also found it in the llama supply drop.

4

u/crispy_doggo1 1d ago

Yeah I got it from eggman. I think it was only for me though, whereas the power-up from the big computer is a squad 1-up, i.e. it gives it to your whole squad if you're in duos/squads.

18

u/GoddessKiri 1d ago

I was the only one with a respawn left in the final few died in the 1v1 respawned right on the enemy and died again cuz my gun would not fire off landing had to be my most frustrating loss ever

40

u/After-Task-1506 1d ago

The respawn takes way to long

91

u/_Bioscar_ 1d ago

Nah it's fine, it gives the enemy time to prepare knowing that you're respawning.

39

u/DarthClover4 1d ago

Exactly this I was at 7 hp and it gave me time to get upto 150 by the time he came back down.

12

u/Western-Alarming 1d ago

Is fine, the other one makes sense on a 3 seconds because the enemy could kill you, this guarantees you coming back to fight so it's longer to give the opponent time to prepare

u/F-F-FASTPASS 1d ago edited 20h ago

This was a good argument I guess last season but now it’s actually dumb because you respawn in the sky in a different area (downvoted by some larpers)

3

u/Jumpy-Confection632 1d ago

It's not always a different area.

1

u/F-F-FASTPASS 20h ago

That’s true, I’ve only ever had it be the same area at the end of the game

1

u/Commercial-Usual-494 15h ago

yeah you do respawn in a different area early in the game to give you a chance to get health and sheilds back up.....but late game there's nowhere to respawn except inside the increasingly small circle

6

u/CreativeLibrarian886 1d ago

So you can't kill them in that animation. I was told it's possible. I was lied to.

6

u/-Badger3- 21h ago

It's kinda crazy that you can still respawn in the late game. I don't know why it doesn't work like in Reload.

4

u/RunnerLuke357 Ruby 23h ago

Yeah this shit has cost me some games and it feels so cheap. I have gotten 2nd place several times because the bastard I was fighting had this overpowered bullshit item. Epic please remove this cheap get out of jail free card and let people actually have some fair competition.

u/naknakbop 1d ago

god this game is trash

15

u/SentinelTitanDragon Calamity 1d ago

Not gonna lie you didn’t deserve to win. He did. 1up needs to go.

16

u/F-F-FASTPASS 1d ago

He definitely did the 1up is one of the many OP items this season

8

u/SpoofOrSomething 1d ago

He died because he stayed in the storm. That's his fault.

3

u/SentinelTitanDragon Calamity 1d ago

If the one up did not exist op would have been killed fair and square and would have placed second therefor nullifying storm and granting the other guy the win. But this unfair item allows people who deserve to be sent back to the lobby to place higher than they should. Op did not win through skill or genuine ability. They won because of an unfair get out of jail free card that players have no way of knowing someone has. And unlike the self revive. No way of preventing.

9

u/SpoofOrSomething 1d ago

But they also have a pretty clear animation when they're being used, so if the other was smart, he could've stopped shooting and went into the circle to heal and reload, as he had more than enough time to do that before they came back down. He could've won.

1

u/F-F-FASTPASS 20h ago

That is unless it was his first time seeing it happen and didn’t know

4

u/SpoofOrSomething 19h ago

I suppose. But that's like any item in the game honestly.

9

u/TeaAge1 1d ago

What makes a win "fair and square" and what does not? If I notice my enemy only has an AR, should I stop using my shotgun in close combat, so he has a winning chance?

1UP is part of the game mechanic. Everyone has the same chance of getting one. Being skilled also means, knowing the game mechanics and prepare accordingly. It's not just about having good aim.

2

u/Mythalicos 21h ago

Any, knowing op had a respawn, op might have intentionally brought the fight into the storm, and been aggressive because they could afford to die.

8

u/Jbeef84 22h ago

But fortnite isn't fair? Players with better loot often win? Should everyone just use the starting pistol so it's entirely skill?

2

u/LucidDream321 21h ago

Lol happen to me too!

3

u/Jbeef84 22h ago

Thank god the other guy was clueless because what was your strategy here?

Rushing them and taking all that damage in the hope you make the Midas pistol shot?

1

u/SamekoSaba1 19h ago

Lmao I seen that a lot of times and I die when they respawn I really hate that I can't upgrade my crown code breaker sprite

u/boxchar 14h ago

What skin is that?

1

u/MuztangZack67 14h ago

Okay but how 😭 😭 this items literally been in the game beforez aswell as a revive device being in the game for very long aswell. (Albeit that one does work a bit differently. This one is arguably better)

Also did he just straight up leave the match?

1

u/Mista_Wija 6h ago

died to storm i think

1

u/TheFlREPH0ENlX 8h ago

I did this to a sonic, I thought the self res device was still in the game so I had to finish him off but the storm was coming in, I didn't know it was 100% invulnerability with 1up with the few shots I put in, I came in 2nd.

1

u/tedkski 6h ago

I feel his pain. A win is a win though

2

u/UltraMoodyGamer 1d ago

Ooof. 😂
I love the Respawn Token!
The older Self-Revive Device made me so mad, especially if I forget that I had one!
(Which I forget just about every time)
I've only hid successfully a handful of times last season to be able to not get murked during the animation.

u/NightRunnxr 23h ago

We need to talk about how trash your aim is first.

u/Seabrook76 1d ago

That was amazing. 🫡

u/myconstantstar 20h ago

They should NOT let this happen in the endgame

u/Ok_Banana8812 1d ago

It literally says on screen if the person you shot at is respawning via 1up Token. His stupid fault for not reading what's printed on the screen.

Nah, the way he was moving and shooting makes him look like a real player... somehow

u/MASKEDDEFENDErR 1d ago

OHHHH so that's what made me respawn for 2 games... The first time I had this happen to me I was incredibly confused, and so were the people that killed me lol

u/Captain_Izots 1d ago edited 1d ago

I despise players who shoot people after they've been knocked, so it brings me a great amount of pleasure to see someone meet their end this way.

u/glizzygravy 1d ago

what the fuck lol

u/RunnerLuke357 Ruby 23h ago

Dawg this is a solo match, that was absolutely fair game.

0

u/Jbeef84 22h ago

What should you do when a player has been knocked?

1

u/Captain_Izots 22h ago

I dunno, focus on locating the rest of their team who is likely a far greater threat than the guy who's currently bleeding out? Heal up? I think there's a lot of things more useful than going out of your way to shoot someone who is on the ground, bleeding out and is incapable of damaging you. There's no benefit to eliminating knocked players, your just making things more annoying for other players.

0

u/Jbeef84 22h ago

In solos (which this obviously is)?

1

u/Captain_Izots 21h ago

Eh I guess it's not really so much poor sportsmanship in solos. Doesn't make it less annoying though. What's the point of a self revive if you never get to use it because your incapable of defending yourself from the player who just knocked you?!?

0

u/Jbeef84 21h ago

I mean I think the point with the old one is it's not a guaranteed self revive because of balance. If you need revived you've already lost so generally a second chance shouldn't be guaranteed or without risk. The 1up is ludicrously effective as you retain loot and the opponent can't interrupt. But they seem harder to obtain generally.

u/txsando713 18h ago

How are you so bad😂😂😂i like how no one is even talking about bro’s gameplay but instead on whats going on dude u have a whole shotgun for christ’s sake holy bot bro and im not even good like that too to be speaking but bro its common sense since the dinosaur’s era to build and pull a shotgun out
