The fists are definitely the way I get eliminated the most. It’s annoying.

The fists are stupid melee weapons. The regular attack hits from EIGHT METERS. No joke. The animation is nowhere near you but it hits. The dash punch hits from 15 meters. Crazy range on them.

I like the movement aspect of the gloves and air attack ability, but the melee option needs to go or scaled back significantly from what it already has been. I’m a fan of the gloves especially to counter the turret guns, but I dislike players spamming the R2 (PS5) button nonstop and doing damage while not even making contact.

Sprinting/jumping away rarely works if they catch you in the open. That ground pound will cook you anytime. You just need to carry the gloves yourself or have shockwave

[bestacescenario]

If it's early game and you haven't managed to find mobility, the fists will kill you 100% of the time.

I’m pretty casual as I only play on weekends, but your videos are so helpful 🎉

Bro found every word in the dictionary to use except "fist" for this video and I respect that

[saddad]

I don’t seem to find them as often as I use too. But in other matches they are laying around everywhere.

The hardest part for me is the time it takes to be able to switch to a different inventory slot after jumping with the gloves. It has quite a bit of lag.

Is the hitbox broken when someone with the nitro gauntlets is punching you? feels kinda like it

Here's a tip: Bring a stack of Nitro. It can actually help you quickly get in and out of situations quickly especially during endgame.

The only way to counter nitro fists is to fight fire with fire

[MrFrogman]

I hope EMP disables turrets and puts Gloves into cooldown, even for a few seconds, this will change this season immensely for the better. Forces players out of cars and into a fight.

Every time I've lost using fists, it's been due to being shotgunned in the face. So now, I step up my shotgun game.

[jamchrista]

Due to all weapons being too OP avoid too much close range fighting because if you take damage from a fight you are only one shot or one fist or one explosive from being third-partied back to the lobby.

[ShawnsLoop]

They are definitely a spammy weapon. If I'm on point and paying attention and my item slots are on point, I can manage them. But like Jake says, fail to do that, if you let them get in close to you and can't two shotty them or make distance, I lose like 80-90% of those fights. They just do damage faster and don't really require any aim.

I've been intentionally carrying Nitro Splash. If I don't have Fists, then as soon as I HEAR them near me, its very fast to pop a NItro Splash and then I can Sprint+Jump+Slide+Jump combo to make distance. If you are good with changing directions on your slide movement, the Nitro Splash effect can allow you to be very hard to catch with the Fists. It's another solid alternative to just fighting fire with fire with the Fists.

Ive actually got a fair fews wins under my belt relying on gloves alot, but this gives good tips. I usually die when either a I run out of charges in 2v1 fight if im not doing solos, and usually shotguns only thing that kills me. but just dont have enough inventory space this season,

If I do that good combo, gloves into crossbow into shotgun, thats 3 slots and i want emp to counter dam cars, but also need white and shield heals. And not mentioning AR for long range. its difficult. I just go with what I get. but ideally infinite ammo medallion, crossbow, mythic gloves, shotgun and heals. If I have these, I usually win solos.

[christopherhindle]

Use the fists, dashes, pulse grenades, or vehicles to lead an aggressive player into other players preferably some place with structures or other types of cover. Easy to get a few shots on them in the chaos.

[TheFretFighter]

All the people saying “skill issue” to cars and fist being op, afraid there crutch items will get taken away 😂

[jamchrista]

Another way to counter fists is when they land shockwave them into distance and spray them.
