Recently, the German Fortnite professional player and streamer Ghost Kamo set the solo vs. squad kill world record. He achieved this while playing on PC with a controller. Our reader Rets wrote this guest post.
In an insane round, Kamo eliminated almost half of all players, achieving 46 eliminations. This surpassed the previous record set by Teeqzy.
This is how Ghost Kamo achieved the record: Central to Ghost Kamo’s world record run was the new update 7.40. He received 50 health or shield for each elimination, allowing him to play through his opponents as if in a frenzy.
Additionally, each eliminated opponent dropped a total of 150 materials, so Kamo hardly had to spend any time farming materials during his world record round.
Upon closer inspection, two important key factors can be recognized that allow for such a world record run:
- The fast editing of building structures
- And the item glider redeploy
The video shows some scenes where Ghost Kamo quickly escapes tight situations by building, only to surprise and eliminate opponents through a window in a wall the next moment.
The item glider redeploy, on the other hand, allows Kamo to build up during build fights. Alone against four other players, it’s easy to get shot down quickly and suffer fall damage. However, this item allows Kamo to glide safely to the ground in such situations.
The video of the kills can be found here:
How did the world record attempt come about? Recently, some YouTubers and streamers were given the opportunity to play custom games without restrictions.
This opportunity was very limited in the past, which had caused some annoyance among some. However, this time tournaments with prize money were allowed. Thus, YouTuber and streamer Trymacs decided to hold a tournament for German professional players on February 17.
As before, at one of the first official Fortnite tournaments, players quickly realized in the first round that the server performance was insufficient. Players suddenly died in the storm without noticing it, as seen in the vod:
Trymacs then canceled the tournament and arranged for a substitute by organizing a solo vs. squad tournament. The 32 players who submitted the best individual rounds with the most eliminations within the next day would qualify.
What happened next in the tournament? In the actual tournament, for which he wanted to qualify with his world record, Kamo was eliminated in the first round.
A different German controller player, DerNico, won in the final against the Swiss controller player – and duo partner of Kamo – Ghost Issa.
What does Ghost Kamo say about that? After being acknowledged by his colleagues and fans on Twitter, Kamo was quite humble. In his opinion, the world record run was mainly due to luck, as the opponents did not eliminate each other.
