In Fortnite, the new planes are on the move. They add a touch of Battlefield to some matches in Fortnite. Top streamer Ninja shows how to counter and hijack the planes in a spectacular clip.
This can be seen in the clip: In the video, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is seen being pressured by a pilot in a green X-4 Stormwing while wearing the “Bad Santa” skin. The pilot then goes into close combat, and Ninja builds some makeshift wooden walls for protection, but the plane simply crashes through them.
Ninja then manages to jump onto the wing of the X-4 Stormwing and takes out the pilot from there.
However, he does not stay on the plane and take it over; instead, he jumps off the wing, glides through the air, and then lands on the wing of another plane that is flying above him and starts to descend.
Even there, Ninja dispatches the pilot in an instant.
Why does the plane change its color? It is noticeable that the plane’s color changes at the moment the pilot is taken out. This is due to the new paint jobs.
The paint jobs are weapon and vehicle skins.
This is how players react to the video: Currently, the clip has almost “40,000 likes” on Twitter. Players are impressed by the clip and praise it in glowing terms. It’s incredible.
In a longer version of the video, Ninja’s buddy, the streamer Ben “Dr Lupo” Lupo, can be heard saying: “You should be banned for what you just did to them.”
Dropping it with the sniper also works
Are there other ways to counter a plane? Besides the option to hijack the X-4 Stormwing over the wing, as Ninja shows, there are other ways.
Here, streamer “HighDistortion” demonstrates the classic “I’m taking the bird down” tactic with a sniper rifle.
