In everyday life, Fortnite often features funny and quirky moments. Many of these occur in battle, while others happen purely by chance during your journey on the map. We show you a clip about a player who wouldn’t give up.
What happened to the player? The clip shows a player desperately trying to escape from an opponent. Despite the equipped symbiote and 6 Chilli Splash, he is still not fast enough to escape the eagerness of this “hunter”.
Nothing helps, even the desperate building or using a car does not shake off this opponent. This shows how aggressive and relentless the battle royale mode currently is.
Is this everyday life in Fortnite? Players report in the reddit post about how they just want to complete tasks but are hunted down by such “terminators”. One player reports a similar case:
People do this when I try to complete challenges in team rumble. They just follow me around the map just to kill me. I’M JUST TRYING TO FISH!
says reddit user zambawamba69
Judging by the comments, the situation in the video is not an isolated incident. Another player comments:
Then, when they finally kill you, even though you didn’t even try to defend yourself, they laugh or act happy as if they think they are just so much better than you.

Such players can be a real plague in Fortnite’s battle royale mode. Especially since you don’t want to win an epic victory in every match but just want to complete the challenge cards. For this reason, we show you how to minimize the chance of encountering such a stalker.
This is how you defend yourself against a terminator
1. Select inconspicuous or simple skins
In Fortnite, you can survive matches by paying attention to your appearance. With a flashy look, you play into your opponent’s hands. If you have skins that are more suited to the current map terrain, you should choose these.
Longshot (Rare) 
Insight (Rare)
Suitable examples would be skins like Longshot and Insight. These two resemble sniper shooters ready for any situation. With these skins, you are safe on the current map.
2. Use your environment to your advantage
There are many useful things in your environment that can make life easier in battle. A big bush, a dirty trash can, or the simple waters can be enough to gain an advantage over your enemy.
3. Direct confrontation with unexpected escape
An ordinary player who sees you and then challenges you will try to hunt you down if you flee, but only to a certain extent. A stalker, like in this case, wants to drive you to frustration during the chase. These opponents usually try to ambush you in a surprise attack.
When your health bar is shot, you then try to escape. This is the pattern that these players follow, but you can turn the tables if you decide to fight them.
Try to find a way to weaken your opponent in battle. If you succeed, the opponent will retreat. At that moment, you have the chance to gain distance that your pursuer cannot catch up to.
If you have a jump pad and fireflies with you, place it down, set the building connected to the jump pad and your opponent’s cover on fire, and disappear.
Thus, they do not have the opportunity to resume the chase with your jump pad, and you can send them to virtual hell with a bit of luck.
What do you think of such pursuers? Have you ever had one on your back? If so, how did you deal with their annoying behavior? Let us know!
