Fortnite: Battle Royale is considered a children’s game, but a grandfather proves that even older generations can have fun and joy from this colorful shooting experience. After over 600 wins, his grandson wants to show his appreciation to his grandpa. Read the whole story here on MeinMMO.
Who is it about? The reddit user and Fortnite fan “StellarLime911” claims to have an amazing duo partner: his grandfather! Together with the old man, he has played many rounds of Fortnite.
While we don’t know how long StellarLime911 has been gaming, his grandpa has been around since Season 3 and has achieved over 600 final victories in that time.
A remarkable achievement that his grandson is very proud of:
It’s so nice to see how his face lights up when he gets a win. He’s just as excited now as he was the first time.
Grandson gifts grandpa skin concept
This is how the grandson wants to say thank you: In order to truly make his grandfather happy, StellarLime911 got creative and designed a concept for a skin in Fortnite. The skin is supposed to be called Grim Raptor and look as follows:
The first one, “Grim Raptor”, is an outfit based on him. Keeping in mind his love for military clothing, I wanted to create a character that reflects him. He wears a bulletproof vest in a Vietnam style and has various tattoos featuring themes that my grandfather likes (cars, airplanes, etc.).
Additionally, there’s a back piece that hints at the gaming style of the sprightly senior:
Drawing inspiration from his real-life appearance in the game, the back piece is a bush (an important strategy of his) with Bunker Jonesy in it. When an elimination occurs, he jumps out of the bush with a sniper rifle in hand.
That fans have such creative ideas for skins and accessories in the game is nothing new. For example, a father once developed a chicken skin for his son, which then actually became a real skin in the game. Perhaps the Fortnite grandpa will also be honored in a similar way.
What does the community say? Users on reddit are touched by the story of the Fortnite grandpa and his grandson. Among other things, the community says:
- „What a heartwarming family”
- „Dude, I give up, even the grandpa of that dude is better than me!”
- „I turn 60 next week. I’ve been playing for a year now and getting pretty good. I started playing with my grandson because he needed a partner. Maybe your grandpa should add me, because I’d like a partner over 12.”
- „Damn, he’s pretty good. I would never expect a grandfather to play Fortnite, let alone have 600+ wins. Quite impressive.”
A user also asked if StellarLime911 noticed any positive effect on his grandpa. And indeed, the grandson responded that his grandpa is actually staying mentally fit and claims that it improves his memory when he regularly plays.
It’s not new that families come closer through Fortnite, as a father trained his son for the championship and a high prize money.
