In Fortnite you can earn achievements by fulfilling various requirements. This allows you to brag in front of your friends and show what you have accomplished. Now a 65-year-old woman has shared her achievement, and it is quite impressive.
What happened? In reddit, a 65-year-old player posted her milestone, which she earned hard in Season 8. She managed to win 100 games, playing in Fortnite’s solo mode. You might be wondering why this is such a special achievement.
In Fortnite, there is skill-based matchmaking. If you can prove yourself in battle against your opponents, Fortnite’s system will match you with players that correspond to your skill level.
This means: The better you play, the stronger and tougher opponents you will face. Each match will thus be filled with more challenging opponents. The lady had to face tougher opponents after each victory, where she had to prove herself.
Fortnite is not just for young players
How did she do it? In a match, you can use various tactics. Many players either play aggressively and hunt down their opponents relentlessly or are so talented in building and editing that they can afford almost any confrontation.
The 65-year-old lady GreylightMay (via reddit) told readers that she had a secret tactic. However, she did not elaborate on it. One could assume that she always snuck from building to building to remain undetected. This way, she creates no noise and seems almost invisible to the opponent.
If you need tips because you are a beginner or do not want to build, here is a video of the lady’s guide:
To earn this achievement, she played 8 matches a day. She used a white-haired skin, as that is her trademark.
65-year-old gamer uses Fortnite as a workout for reflexes and mind
How is it received? Players celebrate her fighting spirit and the fact that she has worked for such an achievement at all. A 40-year-old father, who is also actively playing Fortnite, congratulates her:
Wow, congratulations! I’m glad that I completed the Battle Pass and achieved some accomplishments in the timeline. 10 wins in Season 8 is enough for me to be happy as a 40-year-old gamer dad.

The lady adds that Fortnite is not just a game for young players, as many people initially assume. The game is worthwhile for every age group. The 65-year-old player uses Fortnite to give her mind and reflexes a workout.
Other players also say that you can never be sure in Fortnite from what kind of player you were taken down. It could be that behind a skin, older individuals are hiding, who can completely tear you apart in a battle.
What do you think about the fact that Fortnite does not only provide a platform for young players to prove themselves? Do you find the idea cool that even your grandma could play Fortnite? Let us know what you think in the comments!
