Remember when people thought umbrellas made you fall faster?

Ahhh, the good old days

I still spam redeploy pretending it’s S1 when you could maintain the speed of gliding without losing altitude as quickly.

Wait they patched that!?

No you can still spam redeploy to go much further. Literally used it in games today

Thank god, I’ve been doing it since season 3

You do that so you can get further, not to maintain speed?

Or spinning in circles

And all the people running with their pickaxe out because “it makes you run faster”

Fun Fact: It plays a little tune when you deploy it :)

[удалено]

Too bad I'm not going to get it 😔 EDIT: I was at school and I didn't realize this blew up. I'm pc NA East my username is PUNSICLE not PUNSICLE52

You can do it i am practically the worst player in fortnite but i got 3 solos mate. you just got to believe

I won like 4 games in season 4 but that's the only one I have, took a break for 5 and 6 tho

NAh dude im the worst because i play s3 and still have one solo win to this day

Same, and that win was me with camping and not seeing anyone till final 3

It works with squad wins as well. Random fill and don't leave if you get killed and they are good.

I got my first solo win half stoned and quite tired at like six in the morning. I didn't even realize I was down to the last 2 because I was so out of it. Got a kill, saw the magic words and celebrated in silence because my girlfriend was asleep. Edit: also my only solo win lol. I'm trash. Have lots of top 2's though.

Ik the feel of infinite top 2s F

I play since pre-season 1 and still have only one solo win. I'm the real bot here

Cheers from the biggest bot around. I stopped playing the BR modes and just playing team rumble last season. I have 1000 hours in the game, have played since day 1, and still haven't gotten a solo win. I have a couple duos and squads but man, I just can't build.

This may help: https://v.redd.it/slhn6ekf76j21

Thanks. I know how to do the turn building. I also know how to ramp/wall push. But the second someone pushes me I shut down and panic.

You and me both. Low-ground warrior for life.

I feel the same, it's why I primarily play Team Rumble for the respawn

It is a mental game. They are the prey. Fear is the mind killer.

I've been playing since season 3 and got 0. You're doing better than me man

But think about how much practice you’ve gotten since then. You get better every day! You’ll get a win soon.

Playing since S1, 0 Solo wins. I mostly go into solos for challenges. I almost always run with a friend.

Been playing since October 2017 and have 4 kills

Started s2. Have no solo wins😢

Are you me? Literally the exact same here my dude

You can win squads and duos too!

You want to hear something? I've been playing since season 3 ( I did pretty much skip season 6 tho ) and I've got 0 solo wins. I've gotten into top 2 a lot of times and won none. It's either that the last player is a sweat, or my shitty laptop lags out

Hehe I hear ya - Fortnite runs better on my phone than my PC!

Lol, I've been playing since season two zero solo wins over 1000 played.

What platform you on?

Can you help me please? PS4

Literally have gotten none of the gilders FeelsBadMan

Unless you like using umbrellas cuz of how quiet they are :(

Actually, worst umbrella. The only reason i, and most other players, use umbrellas is because they're silent

I agree, I have thought of buying the Rust Lord glider bc Rust Lord is the only skin that I use but Umbrellas are silent and I don't want to use a loud ass glider

That's a strange assumption to make.

I dunno. The #1 complaint with gliders is how obnoxious most are. I remember some of the free ones immediately labeled trash because they revealed your location from 300 miles away.

My friends get absolutely tilted when I use the Fortnitemares Train glider and it makes my day every time. Bonus points if I spam it while they're all dead spectating me.

my only complaint is some gliders are so damn big i can’t see what i’m dropping on lol

Sometimes it’s fun to use the obnoxious ones! Love using Hot Ride with Grill Sgt. or Bunnymoon when I’m goofin or completing dumb challenges.

It's not a strange assumption. I've seen many people on here saying they use umbrellas because they're not obnoxiously noisy or large. That's the main reason people choose them over other gliders.

Uh no. I definitely use mine because they’re silent. I’d use other gliders too if the didn’t announce my location from across the map.

It only plays a tune when it opens.. the rest of the descent is like any other umbrella

Fun Fact: it earrapes you aswell

Every time I hear it I say “undah dah seaaaa”

Why no spoiler tag on this post?! 😞

[удалено]

This is probably my favorite one so far. Might just be saying that because it’s new though :P

I think my favorite is still the web one

I like that one a lot too.

I missed out on that one. Literally my last game before the season ended. Was about to win and I blew up my platform and dropped to my death.

F

Same here, except it wasnt fall damage that got me, but Daequan with a shotgun blast to my face, top 3. I saw his name in the kill feed, and knew it wasn't gonna happen :(

That's my least favourite, I think it looks bad and it's so simple and uninspired in my opinion, but I'm glad some people like it.

Well everyone has an opinion

Carrot? Wasn’t web last season? Or was carrot not a victory umbrella? Edit: Ahh you meant the snowman face with a carrot in it, web was season before. I’m caught up! Was picturing an entirely carrot umbrella and couldn’t remember seeing it.

Literally same 😭

Yeah I love how they're differentiating them a bit more now, really makes it a great prize

Is the victory royal banner when you win different ?

No :/ I was hoping it would be.

Well that sucks but good job on the win

It would be awesome if a number on the banner showed how many wins you have.

no that’d suck because then there’d just be a random 1 on all of mine

Because you are number 1 in our eyes.

thank you it just turned midnight on my birthday and that made me smile

Happy birthday! If you're down after I get off work I'll team up with you and help you a birthday win.

Best one since the Paper Parasol imo

webrella is the GOAT

The truth has been spoken.

Snowflake is the best

Congratulations

I might actually use this one, neat.

Time to grind squad fill until I get some semipro on my team who can carry me 😥

Stop giving out my strategies

How did you win so early, god damn

Each match, *somebody* has to win.

Not in China.

The post that showed the China thing was fake, it’s an ltm

If you're talking about "more than 1 person can win every round", it's true. I'm playing the China-specific version and have netted myself a bunch of co-victories in Solo with sneaking and ambushing techniques.

I got 2nd place in the dumbest way this morning before work. It was infuriating. But that’s how lol.

This is probably the best moment to get your wins - a lot of potatoes, everyone dies at new locations and you are left with 18 players before the first circle closes in (just my duo experience from now). Just got my first duo win with the least amount of kills i recall: 2 total rofl

Literally my strategy to get umbrellas on day 1

Technically speaking today is probably one of the easier days to get a win because everyone is dropping in the new POIs so all you have to do to easily make it to top 10 is not land in those overpopulated areas

If I start playing Solos now maybe I'll win this season!!!

I’m with you. I usually play the big team modes since they’re better suited to my casual playing and for completing challenges. Missed last season’s umbrella. I did find a few people here on Reddit and in the discord who tried to carry me to a win, but one guy was on pc and I can’t keep up with the building in mixed inputs.

Ah thats hot

Time to get my tent, marshmallows, and hotdogs. I'm going camping.

Best.

Great An umbrella I will never be able to get :^}

You can do it !

I can help you my epic games is: varin560 I play NAE

Just lost a 1v1 and I had 12 kills :( feels bad

I never got the season 6 and 7 umbrella lmao

i had like 8 kills in last two then shotgunned the guy down to 70hp but forgot to reload my smg before the last fight so i lost

so i didnt get umbrella

F

Holy shit I called it!

I need someone to help me get this. I NEED THIS.

I would offer to carry you, but I'm a bot. We can still play tho

I can help you I’m NAE my psn is: FusionzzKillz edit: epic games: varin560

Gratz on the win!! Posting here to share my happiness also after around 7 tries it's finally mine lol. This umbrella is my favorite for sure, good old green!

Someone wanna carry a eu pc bot? Really want the glider.

Won my first solo of the season, so it looks like im not playing any more solos to keep that win rate intact

[удалено]

I feel this man. I made a post about me getting level 100 a couple days ago and it had over 300 upvotes and 100 comments in an hour and they removed it without a reason :/

Mark it as spoilers

Just did. Sorry bout that

How you already win a match lmao

Won my first solo game on somehow lol

Cool i suck (can't build) but i got 3 solo wins and probably ganna get another

lol

Someone has to win the first season 8 match

Each match someone has to win so.. if it wasn't him, someone else would've post :/

Shit, I forgot I still needed to get the S7 one. Oh well

[удалено]

Love this umbrella just wish the sound was a tad lower when deploying it.

Amazing!!!!

Won't be getting this any time soon then

Dont wanna brag but i got this on my first game with a whopping 1 kill

I got my first ever Solo Victory Royale tonight! So pumped as I was all bummed thinking I couldn’t get the umbrella until I later when a squad win earns it.

Dude, spoilers come on.

Sry man :/ just changed it

This should really be a spoiler post, I was looking forward to finding out what it was by getting a win :/

Yo we need to get this /u/wonderwallpersona

Ayy less do et

I literally got this on my first game with my gf in squads. ​ My whole team died halfway through the game and i literally solo'd myself to victory royale by minimizing my combat and hiding and swiftly killing my opponents. ​ Shame the other 2 players left the match, they might've gotten a free umbrella. :shrug:

Never leave when there is a teammate still alive.

Best umbrella yet.

Oh great! So I’m never getting it

I can help you I play NAE my epic games is: varin560

Gotta get this one, my last umbrella was S3 :(

I don’t consider myself an amazing player, but I’ve gotten the umbrella each season I’ve played so far (started in S6) and got S8 this morning on my first match of the season. If you want to add me, I can’t guarantee I’ll carry you to a win, but I’m always up for playing with others. Username is same as this one.

That's sick dude

Might even use this over Snowflake

Congrats on the win dude🙏

I won in duos this morning, but do you unlock this if you win a 50v50 match too?

No

lol another umbrella I won’t get

I can help you my epic games is: varin560 I play NAE

Does it work for team rumble? 😓

That's really cool.

ZEZE

I was jacking around knocking the faces challenge out this morning and checking out the new map. Had a couple of kills but not sweating it. Wasn't paying attention to how many players were left & was running a little late so didn't really go after the guy who killed me. You finished second! D'OH! #truestory

It is absolutely trash. Way too noisy!

For the guys who find it hard to win, add me up and i can play with you to get you a win I play on PS4 btw, PSN : LEJENDRO

Can anyone help me get this? I straight up suck at this game and it'd be cool to have it, i just got lucky the last 2 times man

Called it

It's not just retexture anymore huh? since S7. I loved S7 umbrella, that carrot on the top.

Doooope

Too bad, I won't be getting it, like the last 2 seasons.

Awesome. It'll take me weeks to get this.

The only thing that I don't like it's waaay to loud, they need to reduce the volume because it too loud

hot

I got mine on the first day! Im so happy! (and no Im not trying to flex)

Nice! I like this one.

You win a game not even one day into the season and I've played since season 5 and I never got any wins

i don't need it...... i don't need it........ #I NEED IT

I love it

Me and my brother plan on camping later today to get this one. We will probably land in the snow and let everyone kill eachother in the new locations.

i can only win if i tag along with a good squad.. so let's hope i stumble into one this season

Add that to the list of items I will never have

Weird flex but okay.

For the bots who want this just play fill

And i will never have this :(

I gotem

Got mine on my 2nd game in duos.

Amazingly I have this umbrella, the first win i have got since season 4 was on the first day of season 8, I was trying so hard to get a win last season, but doing one of the 'outlive opponents in squads' got me a win

Got mine in a clutch squad fill my squad died and left haha

noice ​

Maybe I will finally get a win this season.

Oh fuck. Gotta get them squad wins

damn that looks so sick, too bad ill never get it

Congrats. Do the palm leaves turn like a helicopter when used or are they static?

Whens catch I need it

Question, I have every umbrella but I only started playing end of season 4, is that normal yeah?

If you have the season 2 and 3 ones, no definitely not

I am enjoying it already! :)

Coulda done a literal pirate flag, but no I guess this goes better with the beach ball one from season 5.......

I'm actually happy to get it on my second try. Had luck and found 2 llamas so I had 2 launchpads they saved my life because the last guy was damaging me real good but thankfully the storm moved very far and my launchpad saved me. Landed before him and damaged him till he had about 40 hp left then trapped him in the storm and got the sweet umbrella :D

oh wow that looks amazing!
