Myth explains why Fortnite\u2019s divisive Proximity Mines are \u201cpretty sick\u201d Twitch: Myth \/ Epic GamesNot every Fortnite player may be totally in love with the new Proximity Mines introduced in patch v12.10, but according to Twitch star Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani, the \u201cnutty\u201d flying explosives have been nothing but fun since the content drop. The divisive new Proximity Mines headlined Fortnite\u2019s latest update, which also included a few bug fixes along with the introduction of the new weapon. Players across the battle royale pretty quickly figured out just how they could cause the most mayhem with the deadly new explosives. Some even turned the Season 2 add-on into a more long-ranged threat with a cheeky trick. While some have been enjoying mucking around with explosives \u2014 something we\u2019ve always been told not to do \u2014 there are others that have been less keen on the arrival of a powerful new destructive item in Chapter 2. TSM streamer Myth sits far from that crowd, however. According to the Fortnite star, who showcased the Proximity Mines in his latest YouTube upload, Epic\u2019s latest addition to the ever-growing battle royale are \u201cactually so good.\u201d While grinding through Fortnite after the latest update, Myth stumbled across the mines in a loot chest. Needless to say, he was a little excited. \u201cI got them, I got them!\u201d he yelled in excitement, finally bringing his quest to find the latest weapon added to the game to a close. He soon got to work mucking around with the explosives. After figuring out the damage, as well as the throwable range, he took it into a one-vs-one duel against an opponent. There, he discovered another feature he particularly liked. \u201cOh wait, it marks them through the wall too? Did you guys see that? It marks them through the walls, that\u2019s actually pretty sick. The fact you get vision, and 50 damage\u2026 holy sh*t, that\u2019s actually kinda nutty,\u201d he said, seemingly impressed. \u201cI think they work off the new physics engine too,\u201d he said, and tested the new mine out a few times. As he perfected the throw-bounce technique, he passed more judgment: \u201cOh sh*t, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen anything like this before\u2026 so cool.\u201d He did express a little concern over the fact that once you had laid a few of them out, they were difficult to pick up straight away. That fear seemed to be alleviated slightly, however, when he finally got the speedy pickup right. \u201cI like how fast you can pick them up, if you get it right,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re really interesting, I think you could get some good wins with them.\u201d True to his word, the Twitch streamer was soon pulling off impressive multiple mine-throws to near-perfection, and bagging kills to boot. It eventually claimed him a Victory Royale, and he could only pile on more love for the explosive. \u201cThey\u2019re really interesting. I like them. You could use them like traps if you\u2019re fast with them, 100 percent. You can also break someone\u2019s builds with them too. They\u2019re pretty useful I think,\u201d he concluded. For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 5:20 in the video below. While not every player has been enjoying the surplus of explosives that have been rolled into the game in recent patches, the Proximity Mines seem to be getting a lot less hate than the return of the previously-vaulted C4. You might get a few angry messages if you score a kill with C4, but your enemies may be a bit more impressed with Proximity Mine kills \u2014 make sure you read up on how to pull off the perfect toss here to score your next Victory Royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
