Fortnite is a battle royale game where only one can survive in the end. Nevertheless, players regularly try to win without using weapons.
The game principle of battle royale: In games like Fortnite and PUBG, the goal is usually to be the last one (or last team) standing. This inherently excludes the possibility of surviving as a pacifist. At the latest, you have to kill the last opponent somehow.
Winning Fortnite as a pacifist: Unless you maneuver so skillfully and are lucky enough that all opponents die through accidents or the death zone before you get caught. Therefore, the “no weapons” challenge remains popular among YouTubers who want to showcase their ultimate skill.
The last big challenge
Even seasoned Fortnite professionals regularly fail at the “no weapons” challenge. However, they usually end up among the last players, which is already a significant achievement.
Ali-A
The controversial YouTuber Ali-A managed to stay alive until the end. He hid in a fortress and hoped that his opponent would die outside. But the opponent shot down his fortress, and Ali-A fell to his death.
Lachlan
This YouTuber also made it to the last two players in a round. His rule was: “No weapons except for the pickaxe.” With that, he aimed to take out the last opponent. Unfortunately, the opponent had a gun and blew him away.
Vikkstar123
Together with the previously mentioned Lachlan, this YouTuber made it. However, the two used grenades and bombs as well as traps. So everything, just no firearms. With that, they actually achieved a victory. The last opponent perished in a trap.
Muselk
The best performance was achieved by YouTuber Muselk with his buddy. He hid at the end under the fortress, which confused his opponents quite a bit. In the end, the storm came over the map, and Muselk threw some impulse grenades to keep his opponents from shooting at him.
The grenades do not cause damage; they only throw opponents around. The enemies actually died before Muselk in the storm, and in the end, he could claim the pacifist victory. But it didn’t go completely without the use of weapons.
