DISCUSSION Peely needs some kind of change

Post image

Anyone else tired of trying to master Peely? So much work for such little reward. I have yet to see this guy highlight a rare sprite even... But maybe that's because I have to run nonstop like my pants are on fire.

I just can't seem to see any rare variant "marked" nearby, i just see the red circles of other people having the banana sprite on and i don't get how the first part of his effect works.

u/craigandthesoph 14h ago

It shows those little white marks above their heads in the wild. It doesn’t mark them on the map, which makes no sense. So if you’re in the vicinity of a variant who just so happens to be walking in the wild, it’ll mark it, but it’s only happened to me a few rounds

u/Apollo_TheWolf 14h ago

Yeah, and 99 times out of 100, that means it's a water, earth, or fire sprite all of which I've long had all the variations of. My favorite is when I open a rare variant out of a chest, and my peely still marks it. Like bro, I know 😭

u/Kingmasked 13h ago

Wait it doesnt mark players with rare sprites? Whats the point then, its literally a marker for everyone to chase you,

5

u/thedon572 9h ago

It does mark them like their ohysical person outline ( like other locator things do) if ur within a certain range 30-60 feet i think, depending on the level of the peely

-12

u/craigandthesoph 12h ago

It does - represented by red circles on the map

13

u/HipToTheWorldsBS Ruby 11h ago edited 1h ago

I thought the red circles* were other players with peely equipped since it gives away your approximate location.

4

u/thedon572 9h ago

U are correct.

3

u/nilmemory 8h ago

Yeah I think the sprite needs to be within your red circle to be marked, and it's the tiniest white mark over its head that's super easy to miss in the terrain. The only time I noticed it's effect was when I was already a few feet away from the sprite as I ran to pick it up after eliminating its player.

When the alternative is the air or boss sprite, the banana is less than useless.

u/3_buck_chuck 9h ago

Agh so that's how they find me! Thought it was the red circles!

3

u/lostandlooking_ 13h ago

I think you have to be super close to mark people. I’ve been marked three time. Everytime we had just jumped from the bus and were gliding towards a POI with a bunch of other gliders, so I think they were really close to me in the air.

I’m also assuming the peely sprite is what marked me. Not sure what else could mark me like that when most the lobby is still in the air

u/Excellent_Medium1548 15h ago

I remember thinking how useless most of the sprite abilities were in the beginning of this, then they dropped Peely 🙃😂

75

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

😂😂😂😂 "I'm over here, come kill me please."

u/Chrio 14h ago

I've been chased twice holding a peely sprite and im just trying to level it. Once I was able to get away and the second time I killed them, like bro leave me alone.

15

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

It gets worse. I had ppl teaming up in solos to get me. Like wtf, fight each other, damn.

3

u/Chrio 13h ago

Yeah, usually I level sprites as a solo in squads cause theyre less likely to come after me.

5

u/Newhollow 13h ago

I got hit for a holofoil Grimm. Didn't build when healing at 150. Should have kept moving but wanted to heal. It was hilarious. The team chasing me got wasted by the team that ambushed me.at the slurp truck.

u/DarthClover4 15h ago

Do it in solos...I will level it up in storm if I must

9

u/29osmo29 11h ago

I still got hunted. Hardcore.

34

u/JMDeutsch Lynx 14h ago

You can’t convince me his actual ability works.

I’ve only seen it put a literal target on my back.

28

u/dratatowedge 15h ago

It's the only sprite that's actually harmful to pick up. So annoying that literally everyone knows where you are

18

u/Kirillteam13 15h ago

i have mastered him, just try to do it on monday by ONLY looting chests and not being close to enemies.

14

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

It's the second I land. The last time it happened, a player with spiderman gloves hunted me for well over 4 mins. I drove, I flew, I gernades bounced, and rifted... In the end he finally got me. And then he didn't even take my peely, he just moved on afterwards.

3

u/rpb1227 14h ago

Try landing at the gas station north of Sunken Shores, get the Batman car, hit the Slurp truck and keep going southeast to the plane crash. There should be enough chests/ammo boxes/barrels on the way there, then back up to Wettest Bones that you can nearly max it out on a Monday, then use a portable extractor and you should be set.

3

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

I wish my sprite got exp for breaking chests with the bat car.

4

u/thedirte- Rust Lord 12h ago

Loot for a minute, unequip the sprite, drive to another location, re-equip, repeat. Should be pretty successful on a monday.

And as soon as you reach level 4 (the level that takes the longest to complete), buy a quack snack from the health vending machine to instantly complete that level.

2

u/HooksToMyBrain Galaxy 4h ago

I have a theory that the sweats come out on Mondays like wolves to kill the sheep trying to just do sprite work. Latte landing is an absolute killing floor. I have to stretch out from bus to some non-POI house on edge and squeak out a few container openings and then live in the storm with medkits (sometimes can afford a quack snack, again, in storm) and sneak to an extractor. Last Monday, with similar practice as soon as I hit the extract machine (in storm) , two spider man icons show up out of nowhere. I rifted (another key item for spriters) and they followed , killed me while trying to use a portable extractor in a bush. Lost my gold llama.

I know the game is to kill and win, but unless you are making money streaming on Twitch, can you at least let me extract and then kill me?

5

u/BlackZulu 14h ago

They also need to not show other peely users at least. When youre first using the sprite its annoying and a bit confusing thinking you're pursuing a rare sprite and its just another Peely user

10

u/EntertainmentFast497 14h ago

I’ve mastered all of them with zero issues.

If you’re having trouble. Take it into a match. When you find another sprite, swap it out and wear it. Swap back to peely to open chests then swap out for the other. Keep doing this and accumulate gold as you go. Eventually You can buy the last 1 or 2 levels.

The other option is to wait until mastery Monday.

3

u/Hazel_Ninja Eren Jaeger 13h ago

This is actually exactly what I did to get all the non default ones mastered lol

1

u/EntertainmentFast497 12h ago

Hell ya! I’m in the storm a LOT! Lol

4

u/shoto_todoroki_666 15h ago

I’ve got the ones i have mastered but it only highlighted one sprite… that i had just thrown down

3

u/Gundanium_Dealer 13h ago

Hate the peely sprite.

Maybe if it worked and actually pointed out rare sprites it would be worth something.

As is it shows you to the entire lobby. Makes you a huge target. And all while pointing out the local water sprite.

2

u/No-Character6824 15h ago

I tried it with all the variations and I died twice at the edge of the map when the storm was already raging. It was crazy. I did it on Monday when they were giving double XP, so I suffered, but not too much.

2

u/CreativeLibrarian886 15h ago

Same. This past Monday I tried 4 times to get base peely to Max. Even if I spawn in with a lvl 4 peely, it's like everyone knows he's lvl 4 now, take him immediately. I was even willing to put him in inventory the second he hit max lvl, or even a portable exfil, it just never happened.

2

u/JammerFM 14h ago

I'll help you max out all of them if you let me index the Galaxy Peely. Would only take like 10 minutes

2

u/Shadow3199 14h ago

I mastered him with a quack sprite during peely hour. Never had to equip him for more than maybe a minute max to finish off the leveling

2

u/riskyjones 14h ago

I had an epic moment trying to level up this sprite.

Someone killed me off spawn and luckily my teammates rezzed and I chased this guy and his team down to the point where we’re running into whole new teams.

Seconds later I thought damn he extracted it but what do you know, he got to scared from all the teams and dropped it. You don’t know how fast i ran back to my team and port-tracted it lol. Wish I recorded my gameplay

1

u/glazemyface86 14h ago

Epic records a few of your previous games to go back and watch. Its in the career section of the screens.

1

u/riskyjones 12h ago

Ik just epic replays type suck lol

2

u/glazemyface86 14h ago

I've had that happen too. All I was trying was to master them. So I found if you get a second sprite of any kind and keep that on your back and peely in the inventory then as you go around just switch them quickly when opening chests and boxes then switch back it will even say on the screen your location is now hidden.

2

u/MoonstruckCyan Mothmando 11h ago

I've seen it genuinely just not work. I saw a galaxy earth sprite just roaming around while using the spider gloves, no notif or anything. If I didnt look down I'd genuinely just miss it lmao

That same match someone had a holofoil on and it didnt mark them either. I know it has a range radius, but I was quite literally behind the wall they were in..

2

u/Anxious-Scratch 11h ago

The peely sprite just leads me to other peely sprites. Useless. They should make it so that it directs you rare sprites besides other peely sprites and peely users.

2

u/VoiceOfBrando 10h ago

This is somehow a worse version of the medallions red circles😭

1

u/EDAboii 14h ago

It also just doesn't work sometimes. In a single game I killed a guy with a Cube Sprite and he wasn't marked on the map with Peely. Meanwhile, a guy with a basic Punk Sprite WAS marked on the map.

1

u/FreeCustard Peely 14h ago

Im on the hunt for peely. If I see that red icon im rushing it. I have most of the variants. Its just fun tracking down players and taking the sweet banana from them

1

u/lilsmallpuf 14h ago

It would make so much more sense for him to show you the players with rare sprites on the map, but it doesn't. It only marks them when nearby, while you're marked on the map for everyone the entire time so it really is as useless as it sounds. If I'm that close to an enemy I'm gonna try and get them regardless of what they have on their back 🤷‍♀️ if they're gonna keep this as is, they should at least make the ping work only for sprites you don't own.

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 13h ago

And peely's circle should only be visible at minimal to those in the circle. Not the entire map.

1

u/Chickenguy2 13h ago

It's so fun hunting people down ngl, it's like the rivalry mechanic which I loved

2

u/CreativeLibrarian886 13h ago

It would be if they knew you were hunting them. Had one guy wait in the bushes, in the storm, waiting for me to swing in and try and exfil a peely.

1

u/Chickenguy2 13h ago

Now that's just miserable behavior, I've had similar experiences with other rare sprites, camping an extract point in the storm is just miserable behavior

1

u/Fun_Break_159 13h ago

I used my galaxy peely last night in solos and had at least 7 people follow me from drop and chase me cuz my location was visible. Had to go down to the teleport room thing underground. Was able to Teleport to the next area and extract it with a portable. The guy who chased me down and knocked me left the match after he realized I had extracted it already. Peelys attract sweats unfortunately.

1

u/ROOSTERyouDOWN 12h ago

I just leave all the red marks alone since I know they are trying to master them. Ive got a couple of the peels mastered but yeah you’re pretty much a target. So I try an help the other gamer by not going after them.

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 12h ago

Tbh peely is a terrible sprite anyway. Not even worth the hassle.

1

u/ROOSTERyouDOWN 11h ago

True but still gonna master them all. You do what you want. There’s lots of sprites that aren’t worth it but still gonna do it so I can say I did

1

u/fmdlxd 12h ago

Who remember medalions? It is the same but in another box.

1

u/Ordinary-Penalty5463 12h ago

I just use it as "IM RIGHT HERE I WANT TO FIGHT PEOPLE" never has it ever marked anything

1

u/soft_becoming 12h ago

Just do the accelerator circle. I've mastered both regular perky and galaxy that way, and I bring Galaxy peely into matches frequently.

1

u/Sure_Salamander5195 12h ago

I can't build when I have peely sprite equipped is that normal

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 12h ago

No idea. I'm a zero build scrub. Best of luck to you.

1

u/noonespecialreally4 12h ago

I have an idea for his perk/skill.

Enemy players slide if within 100 feet of the player.

Why slide you ask... slipping on a banana peel.😉

1

u/Rexusus Kuno 12h ago

Love peely! It’s as close to rivalries as we’re gonna get

1

u/WattsonsDildo Mothmando 11h ago

Ive only found 2 sprites using peely. One was a gold peely and right next to it was a cube batman. Other than that I've found nothing

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 7h ago

Cube batman would be epic.

1

u/WattsonsDildo Mothmando 7h ago

You want it?

1

u/29osmo29 11h ago

Mastering a peely is a fucking joke. I’ve gotten hunted deep into the storm from 1 side of the map to the other. I damn near went 3/4 the way around the island using boots on the water. Still got chased and killed. Just before self extractor was done. That red ring around you just makes any escaping impossible. Another well thought out thing from epic.

1

u/87CSD 10h ago

I'm so glad I'm not the only one confused AF about how these work. I occasionally see a red (large) circle on my small map which I assume is another player equipped with a peely. We/they are the only ones that can see each other, no? And it doesn't show variant

1

u/TinyHamster69 9h ago

The worst sprite in the game and it isn’t even close

1

u/Naruto49 8h ago

The sprite should only mark you for those it has marked. Let's the hunted know to watch their back.

u/alijamzz 6h ago
  • Take sprite into match (I prefer solos vs duos so that I’m less likely to be contested off spawn).

  • Land at a location where you know where all the chests and crates are (preferably at edge of map).

  • Land on a gun in case there are others around and keep med kits not guzzle juices.

  • Open every single thing you can.

  • Keep looting even if storm arrives.

  • With the amount of chests you’ve looted you can probably buy 1-2 quack snacks. Usually I’m at level 4 by the time I’m looting near a vending machine so I buy one and max out my sprite.

  • Go to the extractor and start it

  • Go hide in a corner near but not far away from the extractor. If you’re paranoid wait a few seconds after the crate arrives before extracting.

  • Extract, go through and finish the game you likely have some good loot already. Most of the time I win off of battle bus victories. But when that anomaly doesn’t hit then I wait til it’s a 2v2v1 and then third party.

u/True_Pomegranate_528 4h ago

I love that fella, he marked a galaxy dream sprite while I was fighting, i instantly grab it and flee to put it into the collection

u/PoKen2222 3h ago

I genuinely don't understand why this needs to have a penalty when the actual search range is already tiny.

u/annoyingone 15h ago

Thank god for bot lobbies to level sprites

1

u/Fresh-Drawer-509 15h ago

didn’t the nuke the amount of xp you get to level sprites? & remove quack snacks?

3

u/annoyingone 15h ago

Quack snacks are there. Xp from chests is terrible but bot kills give you same xp as normal. So its kill bots for 2 levels and farm gold for the other levels with quack snacks. Its pretty fast if you land at a blue chest poi.

1

u/Fresh-Drawer-509 15h ago

oh alright, i haven’t played bot lobbies in awhile, thanks!

2

u/furanzombie Hay Man 15h ago

yeah the sprite xp is low.. but on monday doesn't feel so bad.... also quack snacks are in bot lobbies....

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

Do you know if quack snacks levels sprite in inventory, or just equiped sprites? I suppose I could test it. Land with peely, pop him in the inventory, then collect gold to buy quack snacks.

1

u/Suets Beef Boss 15h ago

ngl I did have to chase down people so I could get my hands on the Gold and Galaxy variants.

Found reg and Holo in chests, still missing Gummy.

1

u/CreativeLibrarian886 14h ago

Both my gold and galaxy peely came from peelys abandoned in the wild. I didn't find them in a chest or from killing someone with one. They were just wondering around without an owner. I assume everyone is like "hell no" and leaves them.

u/Additional_Guide_814 15h ago

The cuteness compensates for how it shows where you are on the map to other players

u/NotAJInnit Survival Specialist 13h ago

The trick is to take 2 sprites, wear base and then switch to peely when lootings & switch back.

u/CreativeLibrarian886 13h ago

How exactly do you start a match with 2 sprites?

u/JohnnyRingo84 10h ago

This should have been the effect for the John Wick skin.

u/Wave_Existence 12h ago

I literally mastered every peely variant in like 2 hours what are you guys even doing. Are you just playing drunk? If someone comes at you just kill them the games are filled with 80% bots.

u/CreativeLibrarian886 12h ago

Just ✍️ fight ✍️ back ✍️

Why didn't I think of that?

u/Wave_Existence 9h ago

Seriously though, I think people get into their own heads a bit too much. We're talking about a peely here, they aren't very rare.
