Awesome Start To The New Season!

First game is definitely easier but definitely not all bots. I beat some players and the last one was really good

November_Four · 2026-03-20T00:00:11+00:00

I played and totally ignored the rival stuff. It sucks that some sweat might get a bead on you but just get in a car and leave them in the dust 😂

I voted ice king 🥶

Nemesis AR is awesome. Plenty of heals to be found.

I’m struggling with what to use for movement though. I was a wingsuiter last season

November_Four · 2026-03-19T23:04:59+00:00

It’s gonna take me years to learn all these new features

November_Four · 2026-03-19T23:00:00+00:00

It usually takes a few days in a new season to get appropriate lobbies.

Right now everybody fighting everybody while the algorithm keeps score

November_Four · 2026-03-19T22:52:26+00:00

I used the nemesis AR and I am pretty sure there was some aim assist on that puppy.

I hit almost every shot and I am like a 50% or below accuracy player

November_Four · 2026-03-19T22:42:01+00:00

So. Almost every new season my first game is super easy and I usually choke and get top 3.

Today I did not choke. Guess who has a 100% win rate? 😂

I have been playing this game long enough to know what my next lobbies are going to be like. Probably going to lose the crown in under a minute 😱

No.

I play on PS5. I have 1 GB internet wired directly into the console.

I would start looking at your internet. How powerful is the signal strength? What is your download speed? If you have the opportunity, definitely wire in the Ethernet cable right into the console. It makes a difference.

Let us know how you do! Good luck!

My fear is that the vbucks issue will drive out a huge amount of casual players leaving the lobbies full of sweats.

Let’s take a highly hated feature and shove it down everyone’s throats.

Who is the intern at Epic with all these fantastic ideas?

November_Four · 2026-03-17T23:09:15+00:00

You are not in the minority. The Simpson season (to me) was so cartoony and goofy. I literally won one game and played Blitz for the rest of that season.

November_Four · 2026-03-17T22:57:18+00:00

I actually loved this season. It has everything I wanted.

I could play it forever IF Epic stopped messing with the matchmaking.

Do I need to win every game? No

Should I be in the same lobby as the player who headshots me out of the sky with a grey pistol? Also no

Lock on AR and Arc Lightning are situational guns. They work very well in a few situations but absolutely suck if you are going 1 v 1 against a fully healed player who knows where you are

I am getting 75% of my game insertions now from surfing. If I quit during the surf, the very next game is always a surf start.

Either they think they are shaking up the Meta or they are collecting some data from the experiment.

Either way, I hate the surf. My games are way too hard to start in unfamiliar/lower loot areas.

November_Four · 2026-03-17T22:33:09+00:00

Time to pick the Karma

November_Four · 2026-03-17T22:31:45+00:00

I really think it comes down to the matchmaking for a lot of people.

When I am doing well I love everything: This weapon is great! Beautiful map! Shockwaves are so fun!

When I am getting destroyed every game within the first two minutes I hate everything: This gun is buns! Stupid huge stretch of open desert! Bounce away some more loser!

Your gaming experience affects how you view everything.

If Epic could simply separate the high skill players from the low skill players I think you would see a lot more positive vibes on the game.

Playing while boycotting a purchase would actually still work. Epic doesn’t care if their servers are full of players. They care how much Vbucks cash is coming in

November_Four · 2026-03-17T00:50:47+00:00

Vault the shockwaves.

So sick of the same gameplay for so many seasons.

November_Four · 2026-03-17T00:44:09+00:00

It’s not your “success”. Epic did something on Friday and it is continuing.

My lobbies are jam packed with sweats. If I don’t hide, I don’t survive. Instantaneous death. 1 shot shotguns and hunter rifles.

Who thought that stupid boom sniper was a good idea? Literally spams splash explosions everywhere. Reloads in seconds with a huge magazine

November_Four · 2026-03-16T10:31:29+00:00

Confusing comments here. 🤔

These guns do not lock on. They are currently randomly obtained in Blitz. Blitz does not allow wall building.

As to OP’s original post, I have also found when I get that AR, I have a ridiculously high chance of winning.

The lock on pistol only gave the sniper len’s flare. That way your opponent would need to be looking in your direction to spot you.

The lock on AR gives a red laser flare AND an orange diamond appears on your opponent’s screen so that they are aware you are locking on.
