While Brimstone has the same grievances, he can place three smokes with much greater range, rendering Omen's a worse alternative. His teleportation is also limited in range and quite slow to actuate. As far as his ultimate, it can be quite good, but the fact that everyone is acutely alerted upon its use makes it very difficult to be steal

Communication also allows for some sneaky plays within a match. Being able to ask a Brimstone to call in a sky smoke to hide where the spike is being planted gives your team a humongous advantage over a team of uncoordinated players. There are several abilities within the title that rely on a team's coordination, and without solid communication, they are almost usel

Or as mentioned, someone locks you out of your main, you should always have a backup character if nee

Viper is fantastic for a brutal 9th rating, but hear me out. Her abilities, while useful, Fortnite Dust 2 Map can be functionally replicated by those of other agents. Her Toxic Screen and Snake Bite abilities are very similar to Phoenix's; Her smokes can be replaced by Jett's, Omen's, or Brimstone's.

It is also impossible for enemies to die to the gas, leaving them at 1HP; If they see you first, you still may go d
