In Fortnite, a player has discovered a new tactic, using balloons and the new bow. This way of playing Fortnite seems so strong that it could change the meta.
What kind of tactic is this? The player “imcharliedw” showcases strong gameplay on Reddit. At the end of a match, when the zone was already small, he uses balloons and the new Boom Bow and achieves a kill streak, dominating the match.
This tactic seems very powerful and gives the balloons, which are usually quite unpopular, a reasonable purpose.
With this tactic, he dominates Fortnite
Watch the video here: We have embedded the Reddit video for you. Over 2000 viewers found the video to be good, and almost 200 players expressed their enthusiasm for the tactic.

How does the tactic work? When the storm keeps making the circle smaller, you have to use the balloons to rise high. This way, you are above all other players and will be hard to hit.
Then, when you use the bow, you can easily shoot down from above and eliminate opponents. Since the arrows from the weapon already deal damage when they just land next to the opponent, you don’t even have to aim well.
In the video, you can see how the player effortlessly takes out several opponents from the air and even wins the round without losing much health.
Although the player doesn’t make a crazy number of kills, he shreds the shields of his opponents and makes it difficult for them.
A special twist: When other opponents appear in the air because they’ve arrived there through a rift, the balloon flyer can immediately take them down.
That’s why it’s so interesting: It seems that this combination could become an important tactic at the end of games, especially as long as the surprise effect lasts.
New weapons or weapon combinations constantly dominate Fortnite. For example, it was the sword in Season 7. However, this weapon didn’t become popular and was removed again.
It remains to be seen how many professionals will use the combination of balloons and bow and how much impact it will have in tournaments.
However, there is a major problem in Fortnite tournaments:
