Is this intended? A player managed to take down an opponent with a sniper rifle from a flying pumpkin in Fortnite. We have the video proof!
Streamers have discovered in Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode that rockets not only create large explosions but can also be used as a means of transport.
During a stream, the player Zaccubus found a rocket launcher in Battle Royale mode that shoots pumpkins instead of rockets in Halloween style. Instead of shooting directly at opponents (which anyone can really do), the player sought an elevated position and simply stood on a pumpkin fired by his buddy.
Riding a pumpkin and taking out opponents with the sniper? No problem!
This action alone would be worth a mention. However, Zaccubus goes even further and makes even Billy the Kid green with envy from his pumpkin. The first enemy is taken out with the sniper rifle, followed by absolute chaos among his opponents:
The player is celebrated for this action, and the community even demands that this feature be kept in the game because it’s just brilliant. Whether that was intended by Epic or not is unfortunately unknown – but it certainly caused some laughs. So if you want to create great confusion among your opponents, why not try riding a pumpkin!
It should be noted that this is only possible in modes that require a team. In solo mode, this will not be possible. Given how rare rocket launchers are distributed in the game, this method presents a significant advantage if you can manage to hop onto the projectile at the right moment.
What do you think of this action? Unfair advantage or just a fun trick? Let us know in the comments!
