Appa increases the FOV.

Whilst also limiting enemy LoS.

Does LoS mean Lack of Sight?

I think line of sight

That makes more sense. Thanks!

Yup. I've not seen it used much in the fornite community but have seen it a lot in others.

The matrix sentinel glider also increases my fov by a shit ton.

1mo

i don't know how it compares but this does increase fov without blocking screen space so i wondered if it would be comprable

Living_Permission262

1mo

Yeah there’s been a few, the last one to my knowledge was from the 2022 winterfest gifts, but I may be wrong.

Appa isn’t the first glider to do this. There are two before, but they were Winterfest presents, that being the Matrix one and that one that is like a present helicopter. Toxic competitive players, aka the people who use black grey superhero skins, tend to use them because of the increased POV.

1mo

right and before those people would chose srufing gliders because they didn't block your vision but this has the benefit of the srufing glider and those two that increase fov

Galaxy

1mo

Yeah, this glider is going to be every sweat’s go to and it actually the first POV increasing glider that will be sold in the item shop.

Sentinel, available during Winterfest 2021 in Chapter 3 Season 1, and Wintry Whirligig, available during Winterfest 2022 in Chapter 4 Season 1

Thanks, I couldn’t remember the names.

Should've last it this winterfest as well to keep the trend going lol

Wasn’t the tntina glider also one of them

Galaxy

1mo

No, it didn’t increase your POV.

Fov* field of view. Not pov

Galaxy

My bad. Accidentally got the terms mixed up. Thanks

Nunbola also enhances the POV.

Appa has always been goated

I like how the only 3 gliders in the game to have this feature have been free because Epic knows people would complain if a paid glider got it

Speaking of the chakra challenges. The last chakra had a quest that required “damage opponents with melee weapons”. THERE ARE NO MELEE WEAPONS. JUST SAY PICKAXE.

Elbie3coolgamer

rip chains of hades 🥲

Finding the non-existent weapons is part of the challenge

I used the pickaxe to knock it out but I did wonder if firebending would work

It does not

water bending works

Glider meta? Fr? Y'all weird

Crazy what lengths people go to try to gain every bit of advantage in competitive😭

NotALootBug

Ahh I still remember the dragacorn controversy.

Banana-Oni

Nara

1mo

You mean the reason we do regarded stuff like stand on top of motorcycles? Yup. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I wish they’d just let us ride the “riding” gliders but add an optional toggle that makes them all appear as the default glider so the sweats can be happy too.

EoTN

1mo

At least surfing on top of the motorcycle is better than hanging under it!

Banana-Oni

Nara

1mo

I agree that on top is better, but I feel like we’re discussing the second best orifice to stick a sandwich into. It was designed to be eaten! Motorcycles were designed to be ridden! lol

I have been playing this game like CRAZY to unlock all the avatar stuff and now Appa. ATLA is one of my special interests and holy crap, I'm having the best time

CurveSecret5572

1mo

It's amazing at how they took away chains of hades when one of the quests for unlocking appa is damage players with melee weapons

PapaShu1915

1mo

just be a man and run someone down with your pickaxe when you first land. i do this almost every match

Luna_Tenebra

Nara

1mo

Just melee in general doesnt have to be a weapon. Down a Player in squads and poke him with your pick axe

Razvanix02

Fort Knights

1mo

Play duo/trio/squads, knockdown players then pickaxe them, it's that simple

Cuddle Team Leader

1mo

Even better, go into "pretend AFK".mode leaving the battle bus and just float straight down when it auto drops you. Then axe the person who actually is AFK. Can usually make that happen within 4 or 5 matches }

Environmental-Metal

1mo

help this is so smart

Cuddle Team Leader

1mo

I do it all the time in solos. Accidentally. Because I have to pee.

I find going to to team rumble can be easier and you can find a lot of players helping people complete challenges like this.

sentient-sloth

1mo

You use Appa cause you think it gives you a competitive advantage, I use Appa cause I like big fluffy boy. We are not the same. 😤

1mo

you're real af for this

Deroullious

I use appa because of both

CadeMan011

How many gliders is that now that would have been better if we could sit on?

Cuddle Team Leader

1mo

Anything that's a motorcycle or an animal. So quite a few.

duckduckidkman

1mo

Ya idk why I was expecting to be able to sit on him :(

JoZaJaB

The Visitor

1mo

There have been gliders that increase your fov for years now.

Sentinel from Winterfest 2021 and Wintery Whirlygig from Winterfest 2022 are two good examples. Lots of people run Wintry Whirlygig because of the big fov along with its relatively small size.

Boobap75

Sky Stalker

1mo

You missed the point of the post. OP did states that wile there have been gliders like that, Appa has the benefit of greater FOV while also not taking up the top half of your screen as he's a surfing glider.

Dragonbarry22

1mo

I'm always on tie fighter tbh

Or nimbus cloud

Salivals

1mo

I have most of the Star Wars gliders and they all look awesome but I couldn’t stand the obnoxious sound effects they make. It’s just so damn loud lol

Dragonbarry22

1mo

That's my one complaint for the tie fighter

Salivals

1mo

The tie fighter may be the worst offender. LOUD NOISES!

Dragonbarry22

1mo

it still dope ive never been found using the tie fighter

Millennium Falcon glider gives me brain damage.

too bad. TO THE PETERCOPTER!

subtleduck42

1mo

idk if it really makes that big of a difference, but maybe I'm just a noob. either way, appa rules so I support this meta. yip yip mfs.

CurveSecret5572

1mo

But it is worth it as now the Olympic chest gives 2 guns

RoadKillCheeto

1mo

not just for the fov, the challenges are actually difficult to complete. the sound chakra challenges were insane!

thunderousmegabitch

1mo

The "opponents" for the sound chakra challenges don't have to be players. I launched an NPC into the air with the rock wall thing and completed the "heal with waterbending and launch with earthbending in the same match" one.

If I'm not wrong it seems that playing in creative mode and getting the xp quest in it counts toward the challenges required.

Just_a_Rose

This right here is why we can’t have nice things.

Who cares about the meta, it’s a giant flying bison just enjoy things, stop caring so much etcetera. I know it sounds like I’m salty but unironically a big reason we don’t get cool stuff anymore is bc players complain about “how will X thing affect meta?” literally every time something new comes out. Epic is literally scared to do anything outside the strict norm that’s been established by this exact mindset.

So now we have Aang surfing on his bison, Korra dangling from the front of her glider like she’s never used it before, and other egregious nonsensical junk like hanging from the bottom of motorcycle gliders, because that makes sense right?

I’m fully prepared to get downvoted for saying this and I don’t care, meta slaves ruined a lot of the magic to this game and I’ll die on that hill.

thunderousmegabitch

1mo

Meta slaves ruin every single game that exists. I fully agree with you.

Games were supposed to be fun, this is a game where Peter Griffin can waterbend to death Darth Vader and Ariana Grande in the same match, why are we ruining the novelty by turning everything into "the meta"?

twothumbswayup

1mo

im just trying to get this glider beacause it reminds me the cat bus in totoro

Helsie

1mo

I want the glider so bad but I'm having trouble doing the quests...

NefariousnessFit4965

1mo

I'm in the same boat. Guess I'll be missing out. The last two chakra quests are just not worth my mental wellbeing tbh. So I'm done with it

DigitalFirefly

Solid Snake

1mo

It took me 5 solo matches to complete them last night. Was much easier than I anticipated.

o0DYL4N0o

1mo

I think they look more difficult than they are but just make them your goal instead of kills or winning. Landing at an air shrine and then just airbending around the map to other shrines or areas to get the other scrolls makes it pretty fast!

Helsie

1mo

I'm going to continue to keep trying because unfortunately once the mini pass is over there's no chance of getting it in the future.

NefariousnessFit4965

1mo

True. I probably will end up trying again. But not during the weekend when all the high skilled players are out in force 🤣

Helsie

1mo

I found out weekday mornings for me probably the best time for me to play.

thomas_dahl

1mo

What's giving you a hard time?

Helsie

1mo

There's one quest where you got to hold one of each of the bending. I can get two of them but I can't get all of them.

And then a couple of the other ones if I remember correctly it said like use Earth bending and water bending in the same match or something like that.

thomas_dahl

1mo

If you drop on one of the air temples from the bus you can quickly go to the other ones to get every bending. For the water and earth quest, you can do them with NPCs at the comm towers or at the train station near Lavish.

Helsie

1mo

Thank you so much for the tip!.

I got up to three of the bendings tonight. I was just missing airbending and the guy that killed me had it.

Ps these are the four that I'm having trouble doing: https://imgur.com/a/QMepNRl

It has the unfortunate side effect of making sure everyone in a 700 meter radius can see you.

Anyone get Appa without finishing all the quests? My gf who barely plays just got it. She still has light, sound, fire and earth chakra quests UNFINISHED !!!
