“He should’ve been a Drax Skin”: Fortnite community reacts hilariously as player gets one-shot eliminated

The Fortnite community takes pride in their ability to find humor in situations that would typically be devastating for other players. This was particularly evident in Chapter 5 Season 2, as Epic Games introduced numerous new and formidable elements to the game. This was highlighted in a recent Reddit video posted by u/tquilas, in which the player met an abrupt and unexpected end.

In the Reddit video, u/tquilas is seen playing a solo match in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 with a Zero Build loadout. They were wearing the Aphrodite skin and were in a top 20 situation. Despite carefully crouch-walking and moving through the grassy landscapes, they were suddenly taken out by a headshot-sniper from a distance.

As the video circulated among the Fortnite community, players couldn’t resist making light of the jumpscare elimination experienced by the player. Reddit user u/WangCommander playfully compared the situation to Drax’s slow movements in Infinity War, suggesting that the player could have been almost invisible if they moved any slower. Reddit user u/Chance-Fun-3169 also joined in on the joke, remarking:

Moreover, u/YodaLikesSoda, a user on Reddit, proposed incorporating the John Cena skin into the Drax joke, humorously referring to them as the “invisible duo.”Similarly, u/PIc-4-Mie-Haed on Reddit made a playful suggestion that the player consume Zarg nuts.

Despite the humorous tone of the conversation, some Reddit users, including u/NoShortsDon and u/ToxicNotToxinGurl420, offered helpful advice on how the player could have prevented their unfortunate death. They suggested utilizing a vehicle such as the Grandeur Trailsmasher SUV for added protection. This sparked a discussion among other players, including u/DifferentAnt, u/Luvs4theweak, and u/victorfresh, who shared their own ideas for enhancing the effectiveness of vehicles in the game.

During the discussion, players offered suggestions on how u/tquilas could improve their gameplay to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. Reddit users u/terribleatlying and u/Riczo2 pointed out that walking slowly in a crowded area is not an effective strategy.

Strategies for Surviving Longer in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

I hate this game by u/tquilas in FortNiteBR

Despite the Reaper Sniper Rifle remaining in the loot pool during Chapter 5 Season 2 and the continued dominance of the one-shot sniper rifle meta, players must remain vigilant against the threat of being unexpectedly taken out by a headshot. Fortunately, there are ways for players to protect themselves from long-range attacks by enemies.

This encompasses the utilization of vehicles in the latter stages of a game, as it not only enables continuous movement but also offers added shielding against headshot snipers. Furthermore, with the introduction of new mobility tools like the Wings of Icarus, you can continuously maneuver to avoid giving your opponents a clear shot at you.

Although there are no guarantees that these strategies will ensure your survival in every encounter with an enemy armed with a sniper, they can certainly make things less difficult.
