00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.890
(tense music)

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:03.660
- [Eric] Last week's "Fortnite" update

3
00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:05.280
kicked off a crossover event

4
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.510
with the hugely popular anime
series, "Attack On Titan".

5
00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:11.430
Available in the item shop are outfits

6
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:14.670
of the series's major
characters, including one for

7
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:18.570
shone in Short King,
Captain Levi Ackerman,

8
00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:22.050
as well as other themed
"AOT" accoutrements,

9
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:26.420
like these extremely
cursed titan run emotes.

10
00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:29.010
(ominous music)

11
00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:31.860
Cosmetics aside, the update
also brought to the game

12
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:34.020
explosive Thunder Spears,

13
00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.260
which frankly are much
sweeter in the anime series

14
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:41.460
and feel like low-impact wet
noodles here by comparison.

15
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:44.520
As well as the addition
of a certain family's

16
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.512
secret filled subterranean
dwelling in Anvil Square.

17
00:00:48.512 --> 00:00:50.120
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)

18
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:53.037
(character grunts)

19
00:00:54.069 --> 00:00:56.592
(character speaking in foreign language)

20
00:00:56.592 --> 00:00:59.259
(door creaking)

21
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:04.710
(coins clattering)

22
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:06.270
But for me, it's the arrival

23
00:01:06.270 --> 00:01:10.770
of omni-directional mobility
gear, ODM for short,

24
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:13.380
that makes this particular
"Fortnite" classic

25
00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:14.701
a real standout.

26
00:01:14.701 --> 00:01:19.701
(tense music)

27
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:27.150
A utility item and
melee weapon all in one,

28
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:30.750
ODM gear is retrievable
from the ground, chests,

29
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.090
and scout regimen foot lockers.

30
00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:35.850
In the anime, ODM Gear
is essential equipment

31
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:39.330
for giving humanity a puncher's
chance against the Titans

32
00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:40.683
which tower over them.

33
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:45.240
Functionally, ODM gear isn't
anything "Fortnite" veterans

34
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.293
haven't seen before.

35
00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:49.690
You can call it a
combination of the jet packs,

36
00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:52.053
Spider-Man web shooters,

37
00:01:53.370 --> 00:01:55.950
and grapple gloves that have
come in the game before.

38
00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:57.510
Being a "Fortnite" newbie though,

39
00:01:57.510 --> 00:02:00.683
I've been having a blast zipping
all over Paradise Island,

40
00:02:00.683 --> 00:02:02.520
oh shoot.

41
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.520
I mean, Asteria, using the ODM
to engage enemies on my terms

42
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.950
while beating a hasty retreat
when things get too hot.

43
00:02:10.950 --> 00:02:13.350
As a tool of both aggression and mobility,

44
00:02:13.350 --> 00:02:15.330
the ODM gear feels well implemented

45
00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:17.160
and thematically on point

46
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:20.430
in terms of how I'd imagine
the members of the Survey Corps

47
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:24.270
would fight if loaded onto a
Battle Bus and then let loose.

48
00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:25.500
Let us know in the comments below

49
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:27.477
if you've been digging the new ODM here

50
00:02:27.477 --> 00:02:31.113
in "Fortnite's" "Attack On
Titan" collaboration like I have.

51
00:02:32.250 --> 00:02:34.849
Give your hearts, scouts.

52
00:02:34.849 --> 00:02:35.839
(character laughs)

53
00:02:35.839 --> 00:02:40.025
(character speaks in foreign language)
