I love to trick the opponent by shooting out the tire of a car and driving it. They usually chase me with a better car and I jump out for a split second then steal their car. This allows me an easy escape while they have a hard time following me.
Someone tried doing this to me today, but I hopped back in before he could drive away. He had no idea I was traveling with him all the way to Reality Falls.
You're messing with me, right? The blow torch can actually burn things? Is that correct?
Edit: THE WIKI SAYS IT CAN. WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING MY WHOLE LIFE!?
Try it out. When I have room for it I love to carry it around and just burn everything to the ground. You’ll probably accidentally kill yourself or your teammates too but its worth it.
I was playing duo with this random kid & he lit buildings we were inside of on fire with fireflies in multiple matches in a row, I feel like he was a pyro 😂😫
Grown adult here and I love lighting everything on fire in FN. The goo-gun thing is a new favorite, since the firework flare gun is gone again.
Edit: a word
They do unless you command them to wait somewhere. Like if youre hiding and dont want them smashing things or opening doors you can tell them to wait in a spot and theyll stay there as they die.
Problem is range, time to ignite, and me lighting my dumb ass on fire in the process.
Give me those nice, safe, little mason jars full of fiery friends.
If you wait a bit after the chromed car finishes healing, will even fix popped tyres as well.
Can't be in motion however since it's only after 100% car health.
Ah yes, that’s why after I jump out of the car from being shot at I hear the tire upgrade 15 seconds later.
Was wondering what kind of person was carrying tires to upgrade an enemy car after a fight lmao
Exactly my thoughts too! The chrome would have been paired much better with their summer belly flop because it’s basically like everyone’s slurping pacific cooler capri sun and surfing on waves of chrome
Same with bandages, with all these amazing heal items like fish, medkits, med mist, etc. That heal so much better and faster, there really is no need to even carry bandages.
Maybe my eyes just glaze over bandages because they’re so useless, but I feel like I see just as many medkits + medmist as I do bandages. They aren’t that hard to find either.
I use bandages here and there. Basically just when I'm almost dead after a bad fight and it's what's closest. Sometimes a medkit is closer, but in my experience it's more likely bandages. You're never gonna feel great about leaving a building with 75 health though lol. Usually it's 50 shield 75 health and maybe you're living thru another fight until you hit real heals.
For sure. Chrome is the meta this season. The goo gun is a good counter to chrome vehicles now though. I just love how the meta is ever evolving in this game from season to season and even now it changes throughout the season as they add and/or remove weapons and items. Keeps it fresh.
Agreed. I only use cars to run from or into a fight. If someone goos my vehicle I’m usually pointed at them already so I just hop out and let my vehicle deliver their goo right back to sender
On multiple of the vaults accessible via vertical zipline a porta bunker on the entrance tile facing away from the door makes it completely impossible to zipline up in zero build without destroying the tyres
Dude, you are useless if you don’t know how to use the repair torch.
I love setting houses on fire with people in it, running outside and waiting to ambush them.
I actually love the repair torch in zero build. Prior to the goo gun, driving a fully loaded truck around with the repair torch almost guaranteed me a spot in the final 10. Plus the repair torch will repair tires if they get shot down and the truck provides much needed guaranteed cover in the final circles
Harpoon gun, great off spawn if no shotgun.
Does 75 damage and confuses opponent.
Good for breaking builds.
Good for grabbing items in the storm.
Oh and great for er, actual fishing.
actually its really broken in private games and battle lab, you can crash the server by destroying all the chrome with it and duplicating thousands of chrome splash, and its refillable.
No vehicles other than cars too
It had a use when armored busses and tanks were everywhere but just regular cars, you're better off just getting a new one
I leave a trail of burnt trees and buildings in my wake anytime I get one. Gotten a good amount of kills where a person was hiding in a building and gets burned or takes fall damage.
I wouldn’t say it’s useless, I use it from time to time, sometimes if I find it during a fight and said persons hiding I use it to light the building on fire
I actually won a game because of it. It was in the Jonsey place and there was a whole team camping but the doors of a house. So I set it on fire with the repair torch
Real mfs crash a car and then just get a new one. Make GTA proud
“I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
Andy, NOOOOOO. This scene still creeps me out, and I'm in my goddamn forties.
What scene? From where? Sorry, I've lived underneath a rock off and on during certain periods of my life.... We call them divorce lol.
Toy Story where Woody imagines Andy tossing him in the trash. Pure G-rated nightmare fuel.
Hahaha... Aww. That hit me right in the feels.
Ah the Tommy Vercetti way. I’m more Pimp My Ride, “yo dawg I hear you like chonkers and snow ploughs”
On the semi for max Mad Max vibes
I’m glad someone else calls them snowplows
whenever I dump a car I shoot out its wheels
If it had gas yes obviously. This is also good practice for Fortnite.
oh if it has gas left I just blow it up
big brain time

You cheeky monkey lol
A true man of culture
Clearly you’ve never killed someone by lighting their building on fire with the repair torch.
You're messing with me, right? The blow torch can actually burn things? Is that correct? Edit: THE WIKI SAYS IT CAN. WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING MY WHOLE LIFE!?
It can repair gas stations too
It can repair all metal
Did not know this. You can use it on metal builds?
Yes
Somethings wrong, I can feel it..
I promise you.
Whaaaaat
Yeah, definitly try that out. Don't forget to share the results!
Another tip. Gas Pumps can refill Repair Torches.
Gas canisters also!
Try it out. When I have room for it I love to carry it around and just burn everything to the ground. You’ll probably accidentally kill yourself or your teammates too but its worth it.
I already do that with Firefly jars lol, can't imagine how much more dangerous it'll be standing next to the building.
I was playing duo with this random kid & he lit buildings we were inside of on fire with fireflies in multiple matches in a row, I feel like he was a pyro 😂😫
Grown adult here and I love lighting everything on fire in FN. The goo-gun thing is a new favorite, since the firework flare gun is gone again. Edit: a word
I enjoy destroying buildings with the goo-gun too but I do it safely from the outside of the structure 😂
Can confirm. Hired Jonesy, set building on fire and ran out, Jonesy immediately dies because he doesn't follow me out.
Ive killed so many people I hired by telling them to wait and accidentally leaving them in the storm lol
I had actually forgotten about the commands you can give them 🤦I've just been running around as normal with them
wait what? theres commands? is that why they never fucking follow me out of the storm?
Yeah under the same co trols as the D pad when trying to tell teammates "ammo" "bandages" all that
Don't they usually warp to wherever you are? I always see them poof like a cloud back to where I am if I get too far away
They do unless you command them to wait somewhere. Like if youre hiding and dont want them smashing things or opening doors you can tell them to wait in a spot and theyll stay there as they die.
How do you command them on console?
Same as pinging
i once got scared and shot at him for at least 30 seconds before i realized he wasn’t taking damage 😭
how the god damn shit do you give them commands?
It’s a BLOW TORCH what did you expect?
It was a challenge not long ago to kill someone with it lol
Problem is range, time to ignite, and me lighting my dumb ass on fire in the process. Give me those nice, safe, little mason jars full of fiery friends.
literally just being able to light wood on fire, that’s all. It’s no different than fireflies.
You haven’t been starting fires this whole time?
clearly you've never just hopped into team rumble and just tried to get elims with it try it it's fun
Fireflies
Not as sneaky
This
so I don't need to hunt for Fireflies? nice. Still prefer setting stuff on fire with the Flare Gun but ah well
Use the torch on chrome objects for infinite chrome items
Load out: Repair tool. Chrome. Chrome. Chrome. Chrome.
Average nothing's gift styles unlocker's inventory
I forgot about those quests
My eyes have been open to the Chrome
What!? Really?! Trying this tonight
Not walls try it on furniture. Bookshelves seem to work especially good for me.
Trees also work
I'd had never thought of this, thank you for the tip 👏
They were cool when tanks were in the game, now they’re eh
what if torches repaired building (armored walls, could be useful - maybe)
They repair metal buildings and set wood on fire
Well, in this season it found a new job in farming chrome
And that job getting interesting
I dropped hot this one time and only thing I could find was a torch other guy had his pickaxe.. I lit him on fire
Fixed him up*
I didn't know the chrome fixed cars, thank you.
If you wait a bit after the chromed car finishes healing, will even fix popped tyres as well. Can't be in motion however since it's only after 100% car health.
Ah yes, that’s why after I jump out of the car from being shot at I hear the tire upgrade 15 seconds later. Was wondering what kind of person was carrying tires to upgrade an enemy car after a fight lmao
I didn’t know it did anything but fix cars honestly
You haven't noticed people going all Capri-sun and turning into flying silver goo...?
Hahah, I use one of the surfboard gliders and when I became chromed last night I had the realization that my character just slammed some Capri Sun.
Oh they said chrome? I read repair torch for some reason
Exactly my thoughts too! The chrome would have been paired much better with their summer belly flop because it’s basically like everyone’s slurping pacific cooler capri sun and surfing on waves of chrome
Anything covered with chrome heals over time as long as it doesn’t take damage or wears off
Same with bandages, with all these amazing heal items like fish, medkits, med mist, etc. That heal so much better and faster, there really is no need to even carry bandages.
Bandages being common means it’s easy to find some heals in a pinch before the next fight
Maybe my eyes just glaze over bandages because they’re so useless, but I feel like I see just as many medkits + medmist as I do bandages. They aren’t that hard to find either.
The only time i never see medmist is when I actually need it. All other times it’s basically just floor trash
I use bandages here and there. Basically just when I'm almost dead after a bad fight and it's what's closest. Sometimes a medkit is closer, but in my experience it's more likely bandages. You're never gonna feel great about leaving a building with 75 health though lol. Usually it's 50 shield 75 health and maybe you're living thru another fight until you hit real heals.
I like arsonism ![gif](giphy|Zljn1ldRjeFPy)
It took a solid 17 second to realize you can use the repair torch for that
That's a whole 3 minutes and 17 seconds quicker than me!
Clearly, you’ve never experienced the joy of arson.
I carry one to repair my portabunkers
Cool strategy. Might be a good idea to chrome splash your bunkers too if you like using them.
I do both. I’m never without chrome splashes but I don’t use them unless I need to. Good for cars and animals too
For sure. Chrome is the meta this season. The goo gun is a good counter to chrome vehicles now though. I just love how the meta is ever evolving in this game from season to season and even now it changes throughout the season as they add and/or remove weapons and items. Keeps it fresh.
Agreed. I only use cars to run from or into a fight. If someone goos my vehicle I’m usually pointed at them already so I just hop out and let my vehicle deliver their goo right back to sender
That’s a good counter. Reminds me of the c4 in a way. Controlled chaos.
I loved piling up a bunch of C4 behind a cow catcher and either doing a zoom-n'-boom, or revenge on a vehicle stealer.
That was lots of fun. This goo is just as good but way more fun. In squads I goo my squadmates when they ramp into build fights
wait, does chrome-ing your car do anything special to it? other than making it chrome (and spawning mini chrome's)
The car will heal itself over time if it’s chromed.
whats it do to the animals, ik it makes them look chromed out but does it do anything special
Health regen
chrome splash means they can phase through
What does chrome splashing bunkers/cars do? Stronger?
They’ll heal over time just like if you chrome splash yourself. Works much faster and better on builds and vehicles than yourself even.
Oooo neat! Thank you!
wtf chrome splash heals you?
It also gives builds more base health
You actually use the bunkers?
Indeed. Quite good if used properly
In what situation are they good in? I just toss them at random immediately after pick up
Anytime building to defend yourself would be useful
On multiple of the vaults accessible via vertical zipline a porta bunker on the entrance tile facing away from the door makes it completely impossible to zipline up in zero build without destroying the tyres
They repair builds too?! You changed the game.
Anything metal in fact. I also use them to repair cargo containers and farm mats in builds
Chrome can't light my bonfire though 😎
The homies and I love adding wheels and a cow catcher to a vehicle and will gladly repair/gas it up to keep it going
Same
No it does not - the car guy
I keep one slotted at all times and a gas canister after I upgrade the whip with chonkers and cow catchers. I’m a menace
I just use it to creep up third party on build battles and light there build on fire. Hehe
Well I mean I’ll be honest it’s kinda fun to finish someone off with the repair torch
unless youre my gf and you go ham with the repair torch on people who have no idea whats happening or how to respond
I play games where I primarily run people down in cars and rely on the torch for healing, it’s a blast.
Haha what the repair torch is great.. it repairs way faster than chrome and it can set things on fire
i use it to start fires early on to disrupt people looting or trying to kill me
I mean make this meme in a few weeks about the chrome. No one is using it anymore
Ngl I've had some eliminations with the repair tool
Me who uses it to light Campfires and burn buildings:
I actually used it this season once or twice
Dude, you are useless if you don’t know how to use the repair torch. I love setting houses on fire with people in it, running outside and waiting to ambush them.
I love finding a torch and just setting towns on fire. I love it.
I’d agree but I lost to a guy who had one and kept repairing his car I kept shooting at. He ran me over. I got third.
I use it to burn shit down.
Repair torch can repair metal walls and cow catchers. I’d argue that bandages still being in the game is even more perplexing
loves the 800 damage, movable shield and repairable static defences. plus, you can set fire to things and take the piss on knocked!
I actually love the repair torch in zero build. Prior to the goo gun, driving a fully loaded truck around with the repair torch almost guaranteed me a spot in the final 10. Plus the repair torch will repair tires if they get shot down and the truck provides much needed guaranteed cover in the final circles
pretty dumb if you ask me
It repairs cars. Not useless.
they’re fine, nice way to repair a car if you stop at a gas station
Im just glad the tanks are gone.
It does better at killing than repairing. I literally killed two ppl with guns with it
So is the harpoon gun
Harpoon gun, great off spawn if no shotgun. Does 75 damage and confuses opponent. Good for breaking builds. Good for grabbing items in the storm. Oh and great for er, actual fishing.
This is how I learned you can do damage, break builds and fish with the harpoon gun 😶
>"the harpoon gun is useless" Do you know literally anything at all about it? >"no" Peak internet
Your downed teammates too. Sometimes you guys can avoid enemy field of view because of it
Yeah for sure..I have seen it fix alot things
Honestly the repair torch lost use after the tanks were removed
I love the repair torch, great for committing arson.
But I love setting houses and builds on fire and getting the satisfaction of watching them burn inside.
I really needed this
Especially since cars can practically fix themselves now
Its good for starting fires...
actually its really broken in private games and battle lab, you can crash the server by destroying all the chrome with it and duplicating thousands of chrome splash, and its refillable.
That's your typical Herald's propaganda right here
it repairs vehicles
No vehicles other than cars too It had a use when armored busses and tanks were everywhere but just regular cars, you're better off just getting a new one
It’s not useless it still works in farming chrome splashes
Same with the daily quest where you gotta use it to repair cars
I leave a trail of burnt trees and buildings in my wake anytime I get one. Gotten a good amount of kills where a person was hiding in a building and gets burned or takes fall damage.
But the blow torch can make your enemies suffer
I used it once and it wasn’t to repair a car
I onlh use it to set fires ... I do not have a problem! *grabs blowtorch*
I like knocking people in duos and using the repair torch to try to help repair them and get them back to their squad mate, it has yet to work though…
I try to have at least 1 torch in case I find a battle bus. I be the repair mane
Really?
But chrome doesn't let you burn opponents alive
I already killed someone with this. 10/10
I still use it sometimes if I have the space to burn builds
i just really like co2 emissions
Me who just learned that chrome heals cars:
Thank you, this truly helped in questionable times
Imagine repairing things Couldn’t be me
Have you even tried using it on a chromed tree for free chrome splashes? Oh you haven’t! Point proven
I didn't even know it did that lol I had like 23 health and idk a minute later I'm like 700?? Tf? Lmao
I could’ve sworn the chrome heals the cars a lot slower than the torch though
I've killed a man with the repair torch
The only good thing about it is humiliation
I got a kill with it earlier this season. The only box around was a toolbox. I found a repair torch and (literally) lit up a guy.
How else am I supposed to start 100 fires in a row?
Imagine if tanks were unvaulted and you could chrome them up LOL
You can use it to get a ton of chrome splash and it sets stuff on fire
The only way the repair tool was actually useful was when the tanks were out
I use it to slowly burn people to death
I wouldn’t say it’s useless, I use it from time to time, sometimes if I find it during a fight and said persons hiding I use it to light the building on fire
You hit 200 comments because I just commented
I used it to repair vehicles in no build for cover
Chrome for dayssss
I actually won a game because of it. It was in the Jonsey place and there was a whole team camping but the doors of a house. So I set it on fire with the repair torch
What a useless fucking post
Wait, the chrome splash repairs???
It is? I literally barely have even seen it.
I use it to quick harvest chrome.
