Fortnite: Battle Royale has a clever Easter Egg hidden on the new shotgun. If you look closely and interpret the clues correctly, you will discover a reference to Jurassic Park!
What is the Easter Egg and where can you find it? The newly added epic and legendary version of the pump shotgun is modeled after the SPAS-12 from the real world. When you look closely at the weapon, you will notice a strange engraving on the barrel:
SMRT YNG LDY 110693
The Meaning of the Code
What do the letters mean? A Reddit user Lady_Jaye took a closer look and presented an interpretation that is simply clever. According to Lady_Jaye, “SMRT YNG LDY” is an abbreviation for “Smart Young Lady.” And that, in turn, could be used as a synonym for “Clever Girl.”
What does “Clever Girl” imply? Clever Girl means something like “Smart Girl” and only makes sense when you correctly interpret the numbers that follow. 110693 can be read as the date 11.06.1993. On this day, the movie Jurassic Park was released in theaters.
Reference to a cool movie scene: Those who know the movie well will recognize that the words “Clever Girl” appear in a particularly impressive scene. In it, big-game hunter Robert Muldoon tries to take down a seemingly inattentive Velociraptor from ambush with his SPAS-12-shotgun (yes, the exact one that you can now find in Fortnite).
However, the hunter quickly becomes the hunted and soon an victim. Because another raptor has flanked him and is preparing to attack. Muldoon realizes this too late and barely manages to utter a fatalistically acknowledging “Clever Girl” (all the dinos in the film are female), before being torn apart by the raptor.
For many fans, this scene is one of the most intense of the film, and the character of tough guy Robert Muldoon remains very popular. Some movie fans wished that Muldoon, as in the book, survived the park.
Apparently, some of the developers at Epic are also fans of Jurassic Park and Muldoon, which is why his death scene was immortalized on his favorite weapon in the game.
